Chapter 80: The Return
In the end, Dou Xian did not succeed in rebelling, and his family forces were eliminated together, and an unstable factor of the Han Dynasty was eliminated. The conversation between Liu Tong and Murong Qing lasted until midnight. It also made Liu Tong's mood difficult to calm down for a long time, and he couldn't sleep peacefully even when he lay down at night.
Although Zhao Sheng and his friends Cang Chunzi and his wife, Biyin, Murong Chui and others came from different sects, they were not like other cultivators who only cared about their own cultivation and did not care about the common people in the world, which was rare, especially rare, did not hesitate to violate Taoist taboos, defended the unity and tranquility of the country with their lives and freedom, and even helped the imperial court to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away and eliminate the scourge from the northern grasslands.
The actions of Zhao Sheng and others are heart-wrenching and awe-inspiring. Among them, there is also the righteousness between friends, which is also embarrassing. For the sake of Zhao Sheng, for this person who is about to soar and has a great future, several people are willing to bear it themselves, the suffering of Cangchunzi and his wife is far away, and Biyin is fragrant and jade. And Zhao Sheng also worked hard for them, for example, Zhao Sheng painstakingly set the duty of guardianship for Murong Chui, and for the sake of Cang Chunzi and his wife, he did not hesitate to violate Zhang Daoling's decree to dispose of them, and finally Zhao Sheng was also punished after his ascension, and this punishment seems to be far away.
In the entire long history, such Taoist figures seem to be rare, and they are an alternative existence of Taoism.
Such a heroic figure, such a feat of serving the family and the country, it seems that it cannot be distinguished by identity. Whether it is in the hall, in the opposition, whether it is a high-ranking official, a husband, whether it is a popular or an unsung hero, such characters emerge in an endless stream in the long river of Chinese history, although they are different, but the pure heart of the family and the country is just as hot, especially the tragic dedication of the tiger who knows that there is a tiger in the mountain and a moth to the fire, which is more thrilling and admirable, making history more thick.
When he woke up the next day, Liu informed that Murong Zusun might have had a good night's sleep with relief, or maybe he had the same thoughts as himself and couldn't sleep all night. But the top priority is to let people come over and transport the wealth of this rich country to Luoyang, otherwise there are other tribes nearby, and there is Ma Chao, who regards wealth as his life, if this wealth falls into their hands and is used to recruit troops and horses, it will be terrible.
Liu Tong decided to divide the labor and stay here by himself, even if someone came, as long as he guarded the entrance of the cave, it was really a man who could not open it, and Duan'er went to Yan Rou to inform him of the situation here, and asked him to send troops to come. Yan Rou obviously can't leave Shengle, so let Xun Zhen, a person with unparalleled character and trust, escort him back to Beijing, and Liu Tong sent Murong Ran to find Xun Zhen with his jade pendant and letters.
Liu Tong also had an idea when he looked for Xun Zhen, that is, this Xun Zhen was someone Liu Kuan didn't understand, so he had a chance to meet Liu Kuan, after all, it was a pity to let a good minister like him be buried in a bitter cold place.
Many days later, Yan Rou traveled a long way, but they all came by fast horses, and they came almost at the same time as Xun Zhen, who was closer. When Yan Rou heard about it, she attached great importance to it and directly sent five thousand cavalry to arrive. Xun Zhen is close to the road, but according to Liu Tong's instructions, he brought a large number of carriages, and he was able to organize nearly a hundred carriages in such a short time, which is estimated to be what Xun Zhen can do.
Yan Rou's sergeant and Xun Zhen's migrant workers quickly cleared the earth and rocks blocking the entrance of the cave from outside the mountain.
When boxes and boxes of treasures were loaded into the carriage, Liu Tong saw that Murong Qing had been sitting alone in the distance. Liu Tong's sincere admiration for this old man, this person who sacrificed his whole life for his grandfather's promise, and did not hesitate to continue to sacrifice his grandson or even his grandson's grandson for a lifetime, what is his mood at this time?
"Senior, I told General Yan Rou that I will leave a batch of property for you, so it should be regarded as compensation for my family."
"No, before taking money to live, it was a last resort, how can you fill your own pocket!"
Liu informed that he said that if he didn't want it, he didn't want it, and if he persuaded him again, it would seem to be blasphemy against him.
"Senior, what are your plans? I sent troops to escort you home? β
"I don't have the shame to go homeβ"
Liu Tong was stunned, yes, what he did was so cruel to the family and family!
"Senior, the Five Elements Temple has been built, and it is clean and elegant, so you might as well go and settle down." Liu informed that his grandfather was a rebellious Yuqing, and he was not a disciple of Yuqing, and it was impossible to return to Yuqing. For him, the Five Elements View is a good place to go.
Murong Qing nodded, "I want to go to Changbai Mountain to meet Cangchunzi Zhenren and Zhang Ezhen, and then go to the Five Elements Temple." β
Liu Tong saw that Murong Qing agreed, and finally felt relieved. But Liu Tong still didn't worry that their ancestors and grandchildren were penniless, since Murong Qing didn't want to use the treasure money, Liu Tong had to ask for some money from Yan Rou and hand it over to Murong Ran in a package, and then explained in detail, making it clear that after he returned to Luoyang, he would prepare a place for them to wait for their arrival in the Five Elements Temple.
Liu Tong also left another horse for them, how did Murong Ran's horse come from before, Liu Tong didn't ask, anyway, this horse should not be raised by them.
Bidding farewell to Murong Qing, Murong Ran and Yan Rou, with the escorted troops, Liu Tong finally embarked on the return journey.
This trip to the grassland is really tortuous.
When the transport team came to the north gate of Luoyang, Liu Tong saw Xun Yu with a large group of people at the city gate to greet him. Of course, Liu Tong knew that this was the appearance, Xun Yu, an arrogant and busy guy, would not deliberately bring a huge team to greet him! And what greeted him was the wealth he dreamed of, hundreds of millions of dollars, a huge amount of money equivalent to a year's government revenue.
Liu Tong even thought that after receiving the report from Kuaima, this guy might not have slept in the past few days. Liu Tong saw Xun Zhen in front of him proudly getting off the carriage and accepting the greetings of his younger brother. What a long-faced moment for him! For many years, Yingchuan Xun's Xun family Xun Yu and Xun Yu are famous all over the world, and he Xun Zhen is so unknown that sometimes, he is embarrassed to report his family.
Now it's different, whether it's solving Xu Yu's case, whether it's the Zi's defense battle, or now returning with a huge amount of wealth, you can stand in front of Xun Yu with your waist straight, and you can let yourself calmly accept Xun Yu's greetings and praise! Xun Zhen even believes that in the future, when it comes to the Yingchuan Xun family, it is not only the Xun family Balong, but also Xun Yu and Xun Yu among the younger generation, but also his place in Xun Zhen!
Liu Tong looked at Xun Zhen's proudly raised head and slightly red face, speculated with evil taste in his heart, and also jumped off the horse and saluted Xun Yu.
Xun Yu arranged the handover work in an orderly manner, placed the escorted troops outside the city, replenished them with grain and grass, and set a date for them to escort the materials that had been planned to be transported to Shengle for return.
Under Long Duan'er's urging, Liu Tong had to say goodbye to Xun Yu and Xun Zhen and hurry back home. Liu informed that there was no need to arrange it himself, Xun Yu would also arrange for Xun Zhen and Liu Kuan to meet, after all, Xun Zhen's name had frequently appeared in the official documents sent to Liu Kuan recently. With Liu Kuan's personality of loving and destining, how could he not be eager to see him.
When Liu Tong and Duan'er had not yet arrived at Liu's mansion, they had already seen Wu Ji, Liu Si, Luo Tie and others standing in front of the door waiting with guilt on their faces. Also, these guards have been separated from the object of their protection for a long time, which is a great shame for the guards.
"What's that look like?" Liu Tong threw the reins of the horse to Liu Si and patted Wu Ji's broad shoulder, Wu Ji smiled and led Liu Tong inside.
At this time, Long Duan'er had already jumped in by herself, and went coquettishly to Zhang Youniang and Jinxiu who were standing at the door of the hall.
When Liu Tong entered the door, he found that the house was full of craftsmen repairing houses and arranging flowers and plants, and there were many people coming in and out, transporting various materials. From this point of view, it looks like there is going to be some kind of celebration in the house. Could it be that who wants to live a birthday? Liu Tong muttered, no one has a recent birthday.
Liu Tong went to meet his mother and other family members, and after he came back, this ceremony was a more cumbersome matter, his mother, Erniang, Sanniang and his younger brothers and sisters could see it right away, and his grandmother was going to make a special trip over, Wang Yue and Tian Feng were also indispensable, they paid the most attention to etiquette and minded. And Liu Kuan estimated that he would not be able to see him until the night.
Seeing Duan'er, Zhang and his mother twisted Liu Mo's ears and said angrily: "I will get married the day after tomorrow, and I am still like a child!" β
When Liu Tong heard this, he was quite surprised, knowing that he was about to get married, but he never thought that it would be so soon, the day after tomorrow? That's too fast, isn't it?
Duan'er was stunned, pulling Liu Mo's ears and not letting go. Jinxiu was stunned when she saw her face flushed, and couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Youniang said solemnly: "Duan'er, you clean up, and move to the Marquis Mansion in Langzhong tonight, and prepare for a big ceremony." β
"Ahh Duan'er let go of Liu Mo's ears, and several children began to make noise.
"Bride, bride......"
"Mother, who is Lang Zhonghou? Why should I go to his house? β
"Your father has already expressed your grandmother's family Zhang Lu as the general of Zhennan, sealed Langzhong Marquis, and established the Hou Mansion for him, your uncle Li Yi is here, you used to live together, how can you still live in your husband's house before you get married."
"Mother, this is my home, why should I live in someone else's house?" Long Duan'er protested quietly.
Liu Tong was happy in his heart, this Duan Er really didn't understand the world, at this time, he saw Jinxiu pull Duan'er's arm, beckoned to Cao Xian and Xiahou Juan behind the crowd, and walked towards his West Garden with a few people, and kept saying something to Duan'er, it is estimated that Jinxiu was explaining the relevant customs and etiquette of marriage to Duan'er.
Liu Tong looked at their departing backs and said in his heart, am I really going to get married?
