(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Half a month to go, the building can not go too far, first go east to the Tiger Prison Pass, meet the troops who were ordered to go to Luoyang, and then turn to the west along the river, catch up with a large number of ships to Tongguan to transport grain, on both sides of the bank is countless river workers, people in repair.

Qinzhou to the west of Tongguan is the time of great chaos, those who have no military charms can not clear the customs, the building foundation then turns to the south, and then turns to the east, along the Luoshui back to Beijing, the road passes through many villages and towns, just when the official mission to collect the autumn grain is in full swing, the people who go to serve everywhere are also on the road one after another, the building base stops and goes, and feels that this trip is worthwhile.

The entanglement was really insufficient, and in the last few days, the two had to live in the official post with the official letter from the Yushitai.

That night, there were less than three days left to Luoyang, and the building was built into an official post outside the city.

The second watch had passed, and the postman who opened the door was not very happy, carrying a lantern, and carefully examining the official letter and the two guests.

The servant of the Guangling Palace's name is Duan Siyong, who often goes out and is used to seeing the scene, so he said impatiently: "Do you recognize words? ”

The post guard was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "If I can't compare to the old man, I will recognize the seal on it, it's not wrong, two please, there is just one room left." ”

"We want two."

"I'm sorry, there are too many tolerances these days, there is really only one room left, the two of you are lucky, at this time yesterday, there is not even this room left......"

The post man chattered endlessly, to the effect that how tight the room was, how tired his work was, and delayed everything at home.

The room was extremely small and there was nothing left except a bed.

The two of them walked all day, they were extremely tired, and they fell asleep after washing, and even dinner was skipped.

Early the next morning, Duan Siyong brought a meal, coarse millet with a few pickles and boiled vegetable leaves, the two of them were used to eating such things these days, they didn't care, and they quickly ate it cleanly.

"I'm going to ask for a pot of tea." Duan Siyong took the dishes and chopsticks.

The building base went out to watch, and the real tolerance was busy setting off at this time, entering and leaving Beijing, or walking, or riding horses.

Outside the gate, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of hooves did not stop, and five or six soldiers rushed into the courtyard one after another, shouting: "Change horses, urgent military affairs!" ”

The post commander personally came out to receive him, checked the talismans, and after checking that it was correct, he immediately arranged for the post guards to prepare horses, food, and water, and the other messengers gave way, and there were people who were familiar with each other, and asked loudly: "Lao Liu, what is so urgent?" ”

Lao Liu was gobbling up a bowl of corn, uh-huh, didn't have time to answer, finished a few bites, and was about to set off again, before he said to his acquaintance: "The thief is stabbing at the driver, we are ordered to notify all checkpoints to be strictly guarded, and idlers are not allowed to enter and exit, and the entire Luozhou may have to conduct a big search." ”

Several soldiers re-entered the road, but the news left behind exploded in the post station, and there were many discussions, one was to denounce the daring traitors, and the other was to guess whether they would be trapped in Luozhou if the checkpoint was closed.

Luozhou is located in the middle of the world, surrounding the eastern capital of Luoyang, there are a number of checkpoints and Jinkou around it, as long as all are sealed, within a radius of hundreds of miles, it is difficult for people and animals to fly with wings.

The messengers were all on official business, and they went on their own roads after a while, while the rest of the people in the inn continued to speculate.

"It must be the Wu people who are in turmoil again, they will be uncomfortable if they don't mess with right and wrong for three years, I really wonder, why didn't the court kill all the Wu people?"

"It may also be a thief in Guanzhong, I heard that there is a Maitreya Heavenly King over there, whose magic power is boundless, maybe it is an assassin sent by him......"

"The mana is boundless—why don't you go and run to it?"

"No matter how high the mana is, he is also a demon, which is the opponent of the true dragon emperor? As soon as the general came out, he was wiped out in March, do you believe it or not? ”

……

Duan Siyong came back and asked in surprise, "Is Lou Gongzi uncomfortable?" The face is not very good. ”

"Did you hear the news?"

"Well, it's another guy who doesn't know whether to live or die, but fortunately, the emperor is fine, and the assassin and his accomplices will definitely not be able to escape. I really don't understand, it's not easy to have this peaceful and prosperous world, why are there people looking forward to chaos in the world? My father and my grandfather both said that in the early years, when the kingdoms stood side by side, those days were really bitter, and today there was no tomorrow, and I was so hungry that there was really a cannibalistic thing......"

Lou Ji was anxious to go back to Beijing to find out the situation, and urged Duan Siyong to go on the road, the two of them had no horses, Lou Ji rode a donkey, Duan Siyong walked, and he couldn't speed up if he wanted to.

Before dark, the two of them stayed in another post station, and the tolerance to travel was even more, so they had to share a room with the other two, and there was no bed, and a layer of hay on the low kang was just enough to squeeze four people.

The other three snored like thunder, one race after another, but the building couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, and finally a little sleepy, awakened by the shouting outside.

"Everyone stays in the house, they are not allowed to come out, they are not allowed to light the lights, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

The people outside shouted several times, waking everyone in the inn.

"What's going on?" Duan Siyong asked in a daze.

"Probably the officers and soldiers arrested people." Floor Road.

"I know what's going on, Luozhou is searching, those who enter Beijing will be let go for the time being, those who leave Beijing will be strictly investigated, and those of unknown origin will be arrested and escorted back to Beijing." A tolerance on the kang said.

"No, I've been checked twice, and this is the third time, and I can't even sleep well." Another man yawned and said.

All four sat up, put on their clothes, and waited for the officers and soldiers to come and investigate.

Several people pushed the door in, one carrying a lantern, one checking his appearance and official letters, and the other two guarded the door, both carrying knives, looking very serious.

The two men on the kang had experience and poured out the contents of the envelope and lined them up neatly for inspection.

"Let's go down to urge the autumn grain, there must be no problem......"

"Shut up." The officer coldly reprimanded, looked at them one by one, and threw them back.

There was only one official letter in front of Lou Ji and Duan Siyong, and the soldiers and civilians carefully looked at the faces of the two of them, looked at Lou Ji for a longer time, picked up the official letter and glanced at it, "Yu Shitai Guanfeng envoy...... Is that you? ”

Lou Ji nodded, "It's me." ”

The officer looked at him twice, "Go out of Beijing or go back to Beijing?" ”

"Back to Beijing."

Hearing this answer, the officer's expression eased slightly, "It's okay to go back to Beijing, but you have to check carefully when you leave Beijing." What kind of official is the Wind Watcher? ”

"Visiting the people's conditions and observing the people's customs is to observe the wind, there is no grade, not an official."

"Oh." The officer seemed to understand whether he understood or not, put down the official letter, turned around and took two steps, and suddenly turned around again and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Duan Siyong."

"It's not you." The officer stretched out his hand and pointed at the Wind Watcher.

"The surname is Lou, and the name is based."

"The building of a tall building?"

"Exactly."

"Who are you, General Lou?"

"This family." Lou Ji is reluctant to admit that he is Lou Wen's son, and it can't be said that it has nothing to do with it, after all, Lou's surname is not very common.

"I'm sorry, but you'll have to come with us."

Lou Ji was stunned, he heard a lot of rumors along the way, no one said that the assassination was related to the Lou family, "Why?" ”

"Don't ask me, I'm just doing what I'm told, please, Lou...... Watch the wind. The officer's tone was kind, but resolute.

Lou Ji had no other way, and was about to get off the kang, but Duan Siyong disagreed, he was ordered to accompany him, and one of his duties was to protect Lou Gongzi, so he took a step down from the kang and bowed his hand to the officer: "Please borrow a step to speak." ”

The officer looked at him coldly, "The military order is here." ”

Duan Siyong said with a smile: "Never delay your military order." ”

The two walked out of the room, and the other three soldiers remained in the room, and the little soldier with the lantern suddenly said: "If you must go to Qinzhou to suppress bandits, I hope that General Lou will lead the troops." ”

"Originally, he was a general." When he left Luoyang, his father had been appointed commander of the Western Expedition.

"It was right half a month ago, but it's hard to say now."

Lou Ji was about to ask, Duan Siyong and the officer came back, and the little soldier hurriedly shut up and looked away.

Duan Siyong had a dark face, and arched his hand to the foundation of the building and said: "Wronged Lou Gongzi, this military master must take you away, the name of King Guangling is not easy to use." ”

The officer said lightly: "It's all bosses, I can't afford to mess with any of them, and the name of His Royal Highness the King of Guangling will be wasted on me." Please come with me, it's not a big deal, just make it clear, maybe it's a good thing. ”

Downstairs put on his shoes, and said to Duan Siyong: "It's okay, please go back to Beijing alone, and tell your master on my behalf, I will definitely visit if I have the opportunity." ”

"Please also rest assured, although King Guangling is not in the capital, there is no one he wants to protect who can't be saved." Duan Siyong raised his voice, this was mainly for the officers.

The officer refused to answer, and only urged the building to get on the road.

The inspection of the post station has ended, in addition to the building foundation, there are three people to be taken away, they are all domestic servants of officials in Beijing, borrowing the official post, usually no problem, but today they are in trouble, because they are out of Beijing.

The treatment of the building was better, and they were given a horse, and the three of them did not talk on foot, and they were tied with thin ropes on their arms, which was no different from the prisoners.

The three of them were extremely dissatisfied, and frequently mentioned how anxious the master was, and how heavy his task was, and soon after, they finally shut up, and it turned out that there were not only three of them who were arrested by the officers and soldiers, but also more than a dozen people, who were connected by ropes, and many of them had a higher status of the master.

Hundreds of soldiers escorted nearly 20 "prisoners" on the road, and in the early morning they joined up with another group of soldiers, rested on the spot, and restarted in less than a quarter of an hour, not far from the east, but these people enjoyed a field march.

In a continuous hurry, the group finally entered a military camp that night, and the building was better on horseback, while the others wore out their shoes and bruised their feet, and screamed again and again.

Soon after the barracks were set up, there were no houses, all rows of tents, and they were in good order, and no one was running around or shouting.

The building was sent into a small tent alone, and after waiting for an hour, I was tired and sleepy, but I had too many doubts in my heart, and I couldn't sleep if I wanted to.

When the officer came, his attitude was even more polite, and he hugged his fists and said, "Please come with me." ”

"How far is it from Luoyang?"

The officer hesitated for a moment before replying, "Not far away, at dawn, you can see the city wall." ”

"Why didn't the Forbidden Army arrest people?" Lou Ji saw that these people were all soldiers transferred from all over the country, and they were originally going to Qinzhou under the leadership of the general, but they were inexplicably participating in the capture of the assassin's accomplices.

Either I don't know, or I don't want to, the officer refused to answer the question, "Let's go, someone is waiting for the landlord." ”

Sure enough, someone is waiting for the building, and it is his own family.

A big tent was crowded with the children and grandchildren of the Lou family, and as soon as the building foundation came in, the seventh brother Lou Shuo greeted him and said loudly: "The Lou family is in danger, you can't stay out of the matter!" ”
