Chapter Ninety-Three: Luoyang, the Eastern Capital
Chen Heng and Shan Yi on the side cherished each other's wine and talked, and no matter what his brother said to Liu Bei, although Shan Yi liked Chen Heng's straightforwardness, the most important thing in his heart was not when he was drinking, but just reluctant to socialize because of his face.
Chen Zhi and Liu Bei toasted each other a few glasses beside them, said some polite words, and had nothing else to do with eating and drinking, as if they were really just making amends.
"This person obviously has something on his mind in his eyes, but he doesn't say it clearly, it seems that his heart is extremely heavy, and he is not an easy person to communicate with, and he has to be more open-minded if he wants to communicate with him" Liu Bei secretly observed this person, and asked himself about some level of words and colors, and saw that Chen Zhi was very worried, and he also secretly made up his mind.
"I still don't understand something, and I want to ask Brother Chen to help me with advice."
Chen Zhi sighed and said suspiciously, "Brother Liu, please tell me something, and the younger brother knows everything."
Liu Bei put down the wine bowl and calmed down, and asked slowly: "As far as I know, although the Chongguan towns around Luoyang are very strictly investigated, they are not as common as today, I don't know what happened?" ”。
"It turns out that the elder brother asked about this, the younger brother is only a small city gate guard here, a few days ago the above ordered a strict investigation, not to let go of any suspicious people, etc., and most of the common gentlemen in the past are not seen, the younger brother thinks that there may be some changes in Luoyang City, and we haven't found anything in this town."
Liu Bei secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that the yellow turban thief has changed?" Otherwise, why would you be so nervous" thought about it and said, "Brother Chen is in an important position, and it is naturally okay to be law-abiding, but I think Brother Chen is outstanding in his ability, not like an ordinary family, I don't know if he is from a family?" ”。
"I'm really ashamed, the younger brother was originally from the clan, but he is the descendant of the Chen family in Runan, but he has fallen in the middle of the family road, not as before, my two brothers are also the only remaining veins in the family, it is not easy to support each other to get to the current status, the traitors in the court are in charge, and if you want to go to the next level, I am afraid that it will be difficult to climb to the sky."
"Oh~~~~~~ Brother Chen turned out to be a descendant of the Chen family in Runan, disrespectful and disrespectful", to say that the Chen family could be said to be a famous family hundreds of years ago, but it can only be regarded as unfortunate to mix to this point now, the Han clan is numerous, from the previous hundreds of clans to the only remaining eight families, it is really impermanent.
Chen Zhiyi mentioned the previous scenery of his family, his eyes were full of melancholy, although it is not difficult to mix with an official and a half-position with family martial arts, but it is not easy to make a name for himself in this world where traitors are in charge, but with Chen Zhi's personality, it is far from the point of sighing, his expression is slightly dark, and he smiled and said, "But it's all the old things, and now there are two brothers left in the family, one day with the ability of the two of us, there is still a chance to revitalize the family business, I don't believe that the world will always be so dark."
"Brother Chen said it well, I won't tell you, I am not a descendant of the royal family, and now I am not as good as Brother Chen, but I believe that one day I will let the world know my Liu Bei's name and carry forward the prestige of my ancestors" Liu Bei couldn't help but resonate a little when he saw Chen Zhi's ambition, and his expression was shocked and excited.
"It turns out that the adult is a royal family, and it is rude to be in the next, I look at Lord Liu's dignified appearance, he will definitely soar into the sky one day, Chen Zhi is not here to wish the adult success" Chen Zhi was shocked when he heard that Liu Bei was a member of the royal family, and quickly got up and said respectfully, even the title has changed.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it, now it's just a white body, this time I came to Luoyang to see my teacher is to be born to serve, or to rebuild the lintel, and in the future, I will have the opportunity to talk to Brother Chen again" Liu Bei took the wine and toasted another bowl.
At this time, the mountain wing drank about the same, Chen Heng was even more forgetful of drinking, insisting that it was not too early in the morning, Liu Bei got up and said, "That's the end of today, the two of us have urgent business to rush to Luoyang, we can't stay here for a long time, I am happy to meet Brother Chen today, and he is not too late to talk to Brother Chen."
"Well, since Lord Liu has something important, Chen Zhi naturally doesn't dare to stay for a long time, let's have a period in the future, don't forget to drink two bowls here next time the adult arrives" Chen Zhi got up and sent him off.
Liu Bei Shanyi and the two went out to get on the horse, hugged their fists and ran outside the city, fortunately, all the horse racing avenues in such important towns, otherwise the pedestrian crowding would definitely be damaged, all the way out of the city Liu Bei smiled excitedly, "I didn't expect such characters to be buried here, and when I soar, I will definitely bring this person together, and I must not shame the hero."
Shan Yi drank a lot, and even a little confused, and was happy for him when he heard Liu Bei talking excitedly, and shouted vaguely, "If it weren't for that Chen being unreasonable, my brother wouldn't have met such a hero, he would definitely be of great help if he walked around a lot."
"That's right, that Chen Heng's martial arts are also rare, it is conceivable that he can draw with his brothers, and his skills are extraordinary, their brothers will get ahead one day sooner or later, let's make friends earlier and take the lead" Liu Bei's ability to take precautions is extremely strong, and he has long thought that one day he will also enter the phase, if he can pull these two people as a general, it will be a big help.
The two of them rushed out of the city all the way to the south for two days, and finally came to the front of Luoyang Gate, the huge city gate shows its extraordinary, since the ancient imperial capital, the reputation of the first city in the world is not in vain, Liu Bei is better, how much is also a person who has seen it, the first time Shanyi came here was really startled, in his heart Jinyang City has been extremely majestic, I didn't expect to compare with this Luoyang, just like a small village in the mountains.
"Ah~~~~~~~~~ this is Luoyang, I didn't expect the city gate to be so big and so big, you can imagine how wide this city is, and there were so many people when my brother came before?"
Liu Bei smiled, "Brother, don't panic, the largest city in the world is not a joke, it is normal to have this scale, there are many more people than this last time my brother came, and now it should be vigilant in extraordinary times, and the flow of people will be less."
"I didn't expect my mountain wing to have today, I think I was just a poor boy who asked for food, if it wasn't for some opportunities, how could I have today" Mountain wing said with emotion, since I was a child, I have been lonely and miserable, not to mention reading and reading, even if a full meal is a luxury, now I am also a martial artist, a little achievement, I think before the mountain wing was really a little satisfied.
Liu Bei saw his expression, patted him on the horse and said with a smile, "Brother is an extraordinary person, he will definitely encounter extraordinary things, you are still young, I believe that with his brother's qualifications, he will be famous all over the world one day, I will never be wrong in my opinion."
"Then thank you brother Jiyan, the younger brother's wish is to help the righteous brother achieve fame, and this life will not be in vain" Shan Yi thought of Bai Cang with emotion.
Liu Bei's expression darkened and said, "It seems that this person is still extremely righteous, and his position in his heart is always not comparable to that righteous brother, and I don't know what ability that person can make such people die" nodded quietly on his face and said, "Since my brother has ambitions, I will move towards the goal, and one day I will get what I want, and I really envy that righteous brother to have a brother like you, it's really a good fate."
"Brother said with a smile, you are a relative of the emperor, we can't compare to your status even if we are not, he is the king of the day, I and my righteous brother are not your generals, you can't compare, you can't compare" Shan Yi laughed and said without any care, in his heart, the royal family is the royal family, and no matter how prominent others are, they can't compare to the dignity of the royal family.
Liu Bei didn't say anything more, humanistic accidents can't be clearly expressed in words and deeds, and they have to slowly understand themselves, although Shanyi is super qualified and intelligent, but it is a little worse for the warmth and coldness of the world, and he will experience it when he grows up.
"Let's go into the city, I'm going to go to the teacher's house first, and I want to ask my brother to help explain some of the key points, I don't know when you can free your hands?"
Shan Yi thought for a while and said, "Lord Lu's mansion shouldn't be difficult to find, can I go and find my brother after I go to meet with that person?" ”。
"If you say it, then let's go our separate ways, I'll be a brother in the teacher's mansion."
After the two discussed, they went into the city separately, the head of Luoyang City is wide, there are a total of thirty-two city gates on the left and right, eight main gates, and the rest are side doors, this is only one side, the southeast and northwest add up to hundreds of city gates, which are really unique in the world.
Although Luoyang is such a big city, there is naturally a horse race, but Liu Bei cautiously reminded the mountain wing not to rush to run, if it attracts attention, I am afraid that the news will be leaked, so at this time the mountain wing led the horse to walk on the street of Luoyang, while walking to watch the scenery of Luoyang, the city extends in all directions, in addition to the two main roads across the east, west, north and south, the rest of the large and small streets and alleys are countless, and even a small shop street is comparable to the wide avenue of Jinyang City.
The task is urgent and has to come step by step, Shan Yi secretly thought about the appearance and address of the person Chen Zhen said, and also inadvertently inquired about the direction, and after inquiring about the specific location, he found that if he walked slowly like this, he was afraid that he would have to walk all day in the city, which showed how big Luoyang was.
Turning over the horse, the mountain wing did not dare to delay for a whole day, and slowly ran on the horse road for two hours, and finally came to the door of a small courtyard that was not too big.
Shan Yi knocked on the door twice, and heard footsteps inside, and after a while, the door was opened, and a man in his sixties came out, raised his eyes and looked at Shan Wing and asked in a voice, "This little brother knocked on the wrong door, I don't seem to have seen you."
"The old man is polite, but someone has entrusted him to visit the master here, but I don't know if the old man is surnamed Tang?"
"Don? You recognize the wrong person, we can't do it here, Tang, you better go" The old man said and was about to close the door.
Shan Yi was anxious in his heart, and said in a deep voice with his hand, "No, I was entrusted to do an important thing here, this matter is very important, if the old man doesn't know, can you call the master out to ask, it's too important, please forgive me for the rudeness."
