Luoyang Ancient Road, hundreds of war horses are all armored, is braving the scorching sun of midsummer, the leader is a young man, the man is Lu Bu's side of the general named Yan Chao, he is here to escort Ruyi Hui back to Anyi on the order of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu originally wanted Ding Xu, the commander of the Prime Minister's Mansion, to come, but suddenly a new field war broke out, and the front line was just the time to employ people, so Lu Bu temporarily ordered Yan Chao to escort Ruyi back to the state.

Yan Chao is now under eighteen, born in Yan Xiuli's own family, he has followed the Lu Bu army since he was a child, is good at using long knives, and is considered to be the leader of the new generation in Bingzhou, humble and loyal, silent and silent, and quite a general.

This time, he followed Lu Bu south to Jingzhou, and has been serving as a close lieutenant, accompanying Lu Bu around, and really didn't get a few opportunities to charge into battle.

Just when the army was besieging Xinye and Xiangyang, and the war was about to break out, he received a task to escort his cousin home, and his heart was unwilling to be naturally intense, but he was nurtured by the army since he was a child, and he knew that he should obey the orders of the generals, so he could only bury his unwillingness deep in his heart, and he did his best to take care of Ruyi along the way.

Although Ruyi is a cousin with him, she doesn't like this cousin since she was a child, just because he is too old, no matter when and what he does, he never messes with the rules, and he is also taciturn, and he has a majesty, just like an elder, he has always avoided opinions.

This way, it really made Ruyi suffer a lot, this cousin is a little more calm than when he was young, where is like a young man with strong blood, this is obviously an old-fashioned and old-fashioned little old man, three mallets can't hit a fart, except for rushing and resting along the way, nothing interesting happens.

This can make the lively and active Ruyi suffer a lot, and for many days, he has been urged by this cousin to hurry, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to travel around the world in his spare time.

Ruyi was already dissatisfied with her father Lu Bu sending her home, and she was restrained everywhere along the way, without any freedom, and there was nowhere to vent her sulkness in her heart, so she deliberately drove the war horse fast, so that a group of soldiers could only try their best to catch up, and suffered a lot.

It was supposed to be a journey of several days, but they completed it in less than three days, two days in advance, and thus exhausted countless war horses.

At this time, it has arrived in Luoyang, the seedlings on both sides of the ancient road are growing vigorously, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, all are a thriving, a bumper harvest year can be expected.

Further on, the pedestrians gradually densed, saw the ancient road galloping on a group of soldiers, all stopped to watch, each relative admiration, this writing soldiers will be cool under the sun, even still full of armor, it can be seen that the military discipline is strict, the Han Dynasty has such a mighty division guard, Luoyang when there is no more military disaster, will the good days be far away?

Ruyi was born in Luoyang, since he was a child, he has a deep memory of the prosperity of Luoyang, remembering the former residence when he was a child, but he did not know how many times stronger than the Anyi Prime Minister's Mansion, and he had the heart to travel, so he stopped at his horse and said to his cousin Yan Chao: "Brother, since we are going through Luoyang, it is better to go to this Luoyang City for a visit." ”

Yan Chao shook his head and said, "The prince has an order......

Ruyi interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, okay, here again, I know that my father ordered you not to delay, but we traveled all the way, several days in advance, much faster than the original plan, Luoyang to Anyi is only a two-day trip, and how much time does it take, we will only go for half a day, okay?" ”

Yan Chao was unmoved, still shook his head and said: "Luoyang is just a ruin, don't go." I only carry out the generals, and I don't care about anything else. ”

Ruyi was angry for a while, this cousin didn't eat oil and salt, it was really difficult to communicate, and he was about to take out the young lady's temper and make trouble unreasonably, when he suddenly heard the sound of riding a horse behind him.

Everyone looked back, only to see a number of horsemen galloping from afar, the leader described as haggard, dressed in the costume of a scribe, but it was Chen Ziqing who escorted the grain and grass south with Ruyi.

Ziqing chased Ruyi's trail all the way, but Ruyi always rode his horse at a gallop, so he couldn't catch up for a few days, Ziqing traveled almost day and night, and finally caught up with Ruyi and his party in Luoyang.

Seeing the hundreds of soldiers in front of him, among which Ruyi was particularly eye-catching in red makeup, he couldn't help but shout happily from afar: "Is Qiling ahead?" ”

Although Ruyi and Ziqing are not familiar with each other, but after Yiyang had experienced life and death once before, when he suddenly saw his figure, he also felt cordial, and it was always much more interesting than the cousin of Mu Ne next to him, and his heart was greatly depressed, and he responded: "Brother Ziqing, why are you here." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ziqing had already ridden forward, wanting to get close and catch up with Ruyi, but was intercepted by Yan Chao.

Yan Chao said hesitantly: "Who are you, how dare you offend Miss, and you won't retreat." ”

Ziqing was stopped, so he could only stop his horse, hugged his fists and said: "I am Chen Hai, the word Ziqing, the captain of the Tun Cavalry and the left servant of the Zhongshu Order Chen Lin is the father." ”

Yan Chao was shocked, Chen Lin, as one of the important ministers that Lu Bu relied on, had a very high official position, and he also followed the prince and marquis in the middle of the Weimo, and was regarded as one of the most powerful among several military advisors, ranking second only to the chief strategist Sima Lang, managing and state tax and government affairs, and was definitely a powerful figure that should not be underestimated.

This person turned out to be Chen Lin's son, and when he was in Nanyang, he heard that it was he and Ruyi who tried their best to protect half of the grain and grass, which can be said to have made a great contribution. Seeing that he was dressed as a sour Confucian, he was able to resist Cao Cao's thousands of elites with weak troops, and his face couldn't help but ease a little, and said: "It turned out to be the son of Chen Junshi, and I have admired it for a long time, but I don't know where you have come from?" ”

Ziqing said with a smile: "My mission has been completed, and I am about to return to the Mengjin branch to resume my life, and I happen to be on the same road as the general, so how about going together." ”

Although Yan Chao respects him for his meritorious deeds, he has a mission and does not want to be sideways, even if he is the son of Chen Lin. Yan Chao grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion since he was a child, and was regarded by Yan Xiuli as his own, and he didn't know how many high-ranking officials and nobles he had seen, how could he be swayed by Chen Lin's name, and he was about to refuse, but he was rushed by Ruyi around him and replied: "I think it's very good, since Brother Ziqing is a descendant of Chen Junshi, he needs to go with us, and it will be much safer on the way." ”

Yan Chao was speechless for a while, this Chen Hai looked like a rich and noble son, if he walked alone, it would not be very safe, if he was turned away, it was really unreasonable, so he had to nod and agree.

Ziqing was overjoyed, drove the war horse to Ruyi, and said: "You didn't know me when you left, I spent a day in the military camp in vain." ”

Ruyi said apologetically: "The matter is in a hurry, and I can't help myself, and I ask Brother Ziqing to forgive me." ”

Ziqing was also relieved, and said with a smile: "I see that it will be late, why don't we go to Luoyang for a temporary rest, replenish some water, and leave again in the future." ”

Ruyi's eyes lit up, Ziqing's words were exactly what she wanted, this person was really a wonderful person, his thoughts coincided with her, and he was about to echo him, but he was stopped by Yan Chao and said: "The prince has an order to let us escort the young lady back to Anyi, and we are not allowed to stay halfway." ”

Ziqing chuckled and said: "The general is confused, Miss Qiling is of noble birth, how can she eat and sleep in the open and suffer from this ordeal, the prince has always loved his daughter, if he knows that the general can't treat Miss well, I'm afraid he will punish you in the future." ”

Yan Chao snorted coldly: "I just did what I was ordered, what is the crime?" ”

Ziqing said: "The general is wrong, what the general is doing now is not a military order, but a family affair of the prince and the prince, and he should weigh and act." Look at this hot day, you are soldiers, you can naturally brave the scorching sun, but the young lady is a daughter, in case of physical illness, it is naturally difficult for the prince to punish you thousands of miles away, but after returning to Anyi, how can you explain to your wife? You see Miss Qiling is tanned, you are miserable. ”

Yan Chao's face turned blue and red for a while, and he was speechless for a while, saying that his heart was furious, and when he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Ruyi touching his forehead with his hand, and said weakly: "I suddenly feel dizzy, I really want to rest." ”

While speaking, he secretly winked at Ziqing, and Ziqing said when he heard this: "Look, how good is this, go to Luoyang for diagnosis and treatment, don't delay the condition." ”

Although Yan Chao is wooden, the eyebrows of these two people are too obvious, and Ruyi's physique is different from ordinary people since she was a child, and it is common to train in the wind, rain and sun, so why is this ordeal for her, she is angry and funny in her heart.

But seeing that Ziqing had already supported Ruyi to march towards Luoyang, his mind turned around several times, and finally sighed, shook his head and ordered Ruyi to follow closely behind him, not leaving the left and right.

Before entering Luoyang, the city guard had already received a report and welcomed everyone to the post house to rest.

Ruyi came to Luoyang, since no longer restrained, taking advantage of the night is still early, when the sun is low, and Ziqing, Yan Chao two people visit the streets and alleys of Luoyang, only to see Luoyang everywhere, although not to ruins and broken tiles, but also full of depression.

The doors of the families were closed early, and Luoyang, the eastern capital of the former prosperity, was like an empty city, with only watchmen walking on the streets, and occasionally patrolling guards passing by in formation, advising the three people: "The curfew is coming, you should return home as soon as possible, and when the sun sets, if you walk in the streets and alleys again, you will be punished as a thief." ”

Ruyi was disappointed, Luoyang in front of him is very different from the memory, how brilliant Luoyang was at that time, even in the middle of the night, there are taverns and restaurants that are open as usual, dignitaries and wealthy businessmen often gather at night, even the ordinary people of Luoyang, will also be in the early night, group in the market to watch the lanterns and play, it can be described as a city that never sleeps.

But now the situation is really desolate, where is there still a little bit of brilliance back then.

The three of them took advantage of the afterglow of the slanting sun to return to the post house, which was very lively, and the officials lived in it, and there were heavy soldiers guarding it, but it was a rare and fresh place.

Just as Yicheng came to greet him, Ruyi asked him: "Has Luoyang always been so desolate?" ”

Yi Cheng sighed: "The nobles don't know, although Luoyang has experienced countless military disasters, but after all, there are still hundreds of thousands of people, how can it be so cold, just come in and make rampant thieves, often intrude on the residents at night, Sili Captain Wang Ji issued a curfew, not to give thieves a chance, so Luoyang will appear to be cold and abnormal." ”
