Chapter 118: Chang'an (2)

Chang'an means long-term peace and stability, when he went to King Wen of Zhou, he set the capital here, recently put Chang'an County in the five years of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, it is one of the two most important cities in the long life of the Han Dynasty, it carries a lot of stories in this time, the life of people at that time, and witnessed the rise and fall of a dynasty at the same time.

In the soft light of the early morning, since Dong Zhuo's death, there has been a hasty war, in the ruins next to the ancient buildings, new buildings rising from the ground, shouting trumpets, gradually lively streets, horse-drawn carriages passing through, the shouting of vendors on both sides of the street, and the loud bargaining of pedestrians, so that this ancient city has been given vitality again. After entering the city gate, Li Heizi and Han Long's eyes widened and saw the prosperity of the world.

In the early morning, the city wakes up in the midst of the noise.

Walking through the bustling streets, all kinds of shouting stalls are placed in front of knick-knacks and food from the north and south, as well as strange things from the Western Regions that have never been seen before. Although the purpose of this trip is very clear, it is still early, and there is still enough time for the two who have never seen the world to go shopping.

The morning hour passed quickly, Li Heizi handed out a piece of cake to the young man, squatted on the corner of the street and looked at the endless crowd, and nibbled a few bites, "This is really a world of flowers...... If we weren't used to it, we wouldn't want to leave. ”

"And so many goodies...... If it was placed in the north, I would have taken my brothers over and robbed it. The dry and hard rice crackers were chewed in his mouth, and Han Long's eyes looked at the colorful silk in the shop across the street without blinking, "...... It must look good when you wear it for Aqing. ”

"Aqing? Is that the woman you helped out last time? Li Heizi took a sip of water from the sheepskin bag, the wrinkles on his face became even more wrinkled, and he smiled: "Married?" ”

Over there, he nodded very simply: "She didn't rely on her, I don't want her to die......"

"Well, well done!" Li Heizi looked at his nephew like he did, stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his head: "...... It is not easy for men to live in this world, let alone women...... You and the leader have a short time, but don't worry, maybe in the future, we can also put on these good clothes and swagger past here in a carriage. ”

"Ah...... The leader wants to be the emperor......"

Li Heizi raised his foot and kicked over: "It's okay to think about it in your heart, but don't say it...... Damn, who said the future...... Don't talk about it, eat it quickly, it's time to do something after eating. ”

"Hmm!"

The daylight became brilliant and bright, and the two of them left here after eating, Li Heizi was older, and his experience was naturally more stable than that of the young Han Long, and he had more knowledge, so he inquired about others intentionally or unintentionally, and before it got dark, he found the noble Wang Yun's mansion, and a servant came out with a candle.

When the lantern was hung on the door of the mansion, in the field of vision, a carriage came from far and near, they pretended to be pedestrians and left, in the afterglow, the carriage stopped, and a slender figure with a long skirt came down from above, and the hundreds of people around him were women with guns and knives, and the women who escorted them went straight into the mansion.

Passing through the spacious courtyard of the house, and then passing under the porch to the study in the backyard, the old man was reviewing some government affairs, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he raised his head, and put down his pen, "...... How is Your Majesty there? ”

The woman who came over handed the red cloak she was wearing to the female pawn behind her, and found a place to sit down on the side: "Your Majesty is naturally fine, but you haven't recovered from the obscenity of Dong Thief, and you are probably asleep at this time." ”

"Alas...... Your Majesty suffered this great calamity at a young age, and you will surely understand in the future that the country is not easy to come by. Wang Yun sighed and looked at the woman: "Hongchang, it's just that I'm bitter for you, it's useless to be a father...... Although some of the people in the Xiliang army surrendered, it is difficult to see loyalty, and Lu Bu is only a sharp weapon in his hands, but he is not a good general, and the guards can only rely on you as a woman. ”

The moth squeezed into the crack of the window, flew towards the fire candle in front of the woman, and then fell on a few cases, soft white fingers lightly gouged the dead insects, Ren Hongchang raised his head, and flew the insect corpse out with one finger, "Actually, Hongchang didn't feel bitter, on the contrary, he felt that the original decision was right." ”

With her hand withdrawn, she flicked her wide-sleeved sleeves, got up and dragged her long skirt for a few steps, turned her head to look at the old man, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.

"Father-in-law...... If you think about this world, how sad is the fate of women, life and death are determined by men's joys and angers, and Hongchang is living a good life now, not being bullied by people at will, instead of being like all women, just making a foil, good-looking clothes, let men put them on and take off at will, or give them to others, wear them on different men, old and broken, and then throw them on the side of the road for beggars to pick up, and finally there is no scum left......"

"Enough!"

Behind the long case, the old man suddenly shouted, pursed his lips and looked at the woman: "...... These thoughts...... It's just nonsense, where can a woman talk like you. ”

Lotus stepped lightly, the long skirt crossed the ground, Ren Hongchang stood in front of the old man, his red lips opened lightly, and he spit out seductive but cold words: "But my daughter has done something that no man in the world can do...... Does the stepfather agree? ”

"You ......" Wang Yun walked half a step angrily, his white beard trembled, he said a word, and swallowed back the words behind, then closed his eyes and softened his tone: "Forget it, now Guo Yan, Li Dao and other rebel generals will come to attack the city in a few days, and there are still many things to do for my father, you can go and rest first......" said, waved his hand, and sat back behind the long case.

Over there, the woman looked at the old man who picked up the pen again, snorted softly, turned around and brushed her sleeves, came to open the door and walked out, and the waiting female soldier put the cloak on her shoulder, and walked away with the knife.

The mansion slowly fell silent, a night watchman walked through the corridor under the watchful eye of the guards, turned to the garden behind, the wind whined through the surrounding trees, the moonlight cast a cold glow on the ground, he turned his head a little frightened, and then quickened his pace, and the grass near moved slightly, as if something was crawling.

The servant carried the lantern to shine over, the blades of grass were removed, and a face was suddenly revealed, the figure crossed the coldness of the moonlight, a pair of big hands covered the person's mouth and neck, and there was a soft click in the night, the head and body were exaggeratedly twisted, and the lantern fell to the ground.

In the dusk, the attacking figure dragged the corpse into the grass, and after squirming for a while, Han Long, dressed as a domestic servant, picked up the lantern from the ground and carried it to continue patrolling the night.

***********************

Far away to the east, the Xiliang army, which had gathered more than 100,000 people, pushed it over, Xu Rong arrived at Xinfeng in the morning, and soon after settling down in the camp, Guo Yan and Li Wei did not send messengers to persuade him, and pounced directly on him. Only Xu Rong understands that in the entire Xiliang military system, he is the only one who is not from Xiliang, and the other party will naturally not miss the old feelings.

"Beware of Hu Zhen defecting and strengthening surveillance on the flanks." Xu Rong was reminded by Li Ru that this matter had always been taken to heart.

Soon, however, a tattered and small cavalry came from the rear and wanted to meet him as an old man. 8)
