The day after the banquet, the imperial court official letter of appointment was served. The moment the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info received the edict, Huo Yu knew that the days of leaving Luoyang were numbered, and there were two things that had to be done before leaving Luoyang.

The first thing is to visit the general He Jin, who was above the court that day, but He Jin didn't help himself, and now this big tree must be held firmly, otherwise where will his soldiers come from? The second thing, of course, was to invite Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to drink. Although they will definitely become adversaries in the future, it is necessary to maintain this relationship for the time being.

The father-in-law must return to Chen, and in Kyoto, there is only his father-in-law Cai Yong's family, Cai Yong's character determines that sooner or later he will offend Zhang Rang and others again, as the saying goes, more friends have more ways out.

Cai Yan has been sullen for the past two days, she also knows that Huo Yu is about to leave Beijing to take up his post in Liaodong, although she wants to follow, but after all, she has not officially married, and her father is a great Confucian in the world, so she must pay attention to the problem of face. No, Huo Yu knew Cai Yan's thoughts, so he took her to the legendary Luoyang West Market for a walk. It is said that there are a large number of Hu merchants in this western market, and you may be able to find something good!

There is still a long distance from Cai's Mansion to Xishi, and Huo Yu personally drove Cai Yan and his maid Xiaohuan to Xishi in a carriage. Zhang Fei and Liao Hua followed from a distance to prevent accidents.

Since Zhang Qian in the Western Han Dynasty and Ban Chao in the Eastern Han Dynasty opened up the Silk Road starting from Chang'an and Luoyang in the Western Regions, the silk of the Han Dynasty has been continuously exported to the countries of the Western Regions. At this time, the Han Dynasty was the richest and most powerful country in the world, and the merchants of the West were proud to be able to trade with the Han Dynasty, and slowly the people of the Han Dynasty developed a sense of pride, because the merchants of the West were no different from the barbarians, so the merchants from the West were all called Hu merchants. With the arrival of the Hu merchants, goods such as grapes, walnuts, carrots, courgettes (cucumbers) and even wine were introduced to the Han Dynasty.

After Huo Yu and his entourage arrived in Xishi, they first found an inn to store the carriage, and then the three of them strolled through the streets of Xishi. At this time, the West Market has long lost its glory of the year, and Cai Yan and Xiaohuan are still surprised, all kinds of goods are dazzling, and a variety of jewelry attracts the attention of the two people. Women's natural shopping talent made Huo Yu secretly regret it, thinking that ancient women would not have the desire to shop at all, who knew that these two people started a crazy shopping mode when they arrived in the West Market, and all the things they liked that they had never seen were bought, of course, the money was made by Huo Yu's follower.

After an hour, he also bought a lot of things, Huo Yu motioned to Zhang Fei and Liao Hua to help several times, but Zhang Fei stopped Liao Hua and said: "Yuan Jian, the lord is dating, we can't be light bulbs!" ”

Liao Hua asked suspiciously: "Brother Yide, what is dating?" What is a light bulb? ”

"Alas, Yuan Jian, you don't understand what you said, just remember that when the lord looks at us, we look elsewhere and pretend not to see anything." Zhang Fei Zhenzhen said.

Huo Yu thought that the distance was a little far, but he didn't see the two of them a few times before, no, while Cai Yan and Xiaohuan were shopping, Huo Yu looked at the two of them again, but the two of them were still unmoved. Huo Yu is angry! If he knew what Zhang Fei said to Liao Hua, he would probably vomit blood in anger.

In desperation, Huo Yu could only use the excuse of being hungry to interrupt the shopping mode of the two. Back at the inn, the three of them ordered the noodles and meat of the Hu people that they had never eaten again, and ate them with relish. Suddenly, Huo Yu saw that the person with the two little bald eagles was blasted out by the shopkeeper, and said unceremoniously: "I can't pay the money for living in the hotel, and I still don't want to leave, believe it or not, report to the official?" ”

The Hu man did not refute, but took out a piece of jerky from his body, ate a small bite himself, and fed the rest to the two eagles. Watching the two little eagles gobble up, a smile appeared on the face of the Hu man.

Huo Yu said in his heart at the moment: "Interesting, isn't it the legendary carving technique?" I am worried that there is no way to quickly transmit information, so let's ask! ”

So in Cai Yan's surprised gaze, Huo Yu picked up two pieces of meat and threw them at the two eagles. Perhaps it was too hungry, Xiao Diao subconsciously caught the piece of meat and ate it, and then Huo Yu took the opportunity to ask for details.

It turned out that this person was a native of the Dayue clan, and was adopted by a Han Dynasty merchant since he was a child, named Li Ji, because he was born with the ability to control beasts, and was very loved by his adoptive father. Not long ago, his adoptive father died of illness, and he was kicked out of the house, and these two carvings were purchased by his stepfather at the West Market with a lot of money, so they were particularly cherished.

Subsequently, Huo Yu invited him to a big meal, and when he revealed his identity to recruit him, Li Ji agreed without hesitation, and Li Ji's adoptive father once told him: "The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring." Li Ji Huo Yu was satisfied, and the future communication was settled, and he could seize the initiative with a way to quickly transmit information. After returning to Cai's mansion, Huo Yu asked Liao Hua to take Li Ji directly to the barracks, and asked him to tell Xu Rong that Li Ji was only responsible for raising eagles and had to arrange for life protection.

That night, Huo Yu took a car of his newly delivered daughter Hong to the General's Mansion. He Jin was born in a butcher, and he was in a high position because of his sister Empress He's relationship, and he had many discords with the ten permanent servants, so he surrounded the people of the world, especially the great Confucian like Cai Yong, and he was among his guests.

After arriving at the General's Mansion, he handed over the name post, and a housekeeper came to lead Huo Yu into the mansion in person. This He Jin is now the first important minister in the court, his mansion is very rich and luxurious, Huo Yu This is the first time to enter the general's mansion, and he was stunned by the luxurious decoration in the mansion.

After passing through a few corridors and coming to a hall, he saw a person coming out of his face, and the housekeeper hurriedly said: "Second master, this is Liaodong Taishou, Pingbei General Huo Yu." ”

When Huo Yu heard this, he knew that this person was He Jin's younger brother He Miao, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Lord He." ”

"Well, you're very good!" After saying such a clueless word, He Miao left.

Seeing He Miao leaving, the housekeeper took Huo Yu into the study. After entering, he saw a person sitting upright in front of him, Huo Yu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately bowed his head and bent over, clasped his hands into fists and said, "The last general has seen the general!" ”

When he was young, a hearty voice shouted: "Now is not above the court, there is no need to be polite, come and sit down!" ”

"General Xie!" Huo Yu replied loudly and then sat down.

"Hahahaha!" He Jin immediately looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "Lord Cai has a banquet, but I can't go because I am busy with business......."

At the beginning of this sentence, Huo Yu and He Jin chatted about idle affairs one by one, talking about Chen Guopo Yellow Turban Army, Changshe Chopping Bocai, Jizhou Po Guangzong, and so on. For about half an hour, He Jin took a shallow sip of tea and said, "The ability to lead troops to fight can be appreciated by Lord Lu, General Huangfu and General Zhu Jun, which is indeed extraordinary. Do a good job and don't let me down! ”

"Whoa! We will live up to the expectations of the general! Huo Yu replied with a sincere face, and then added: "The last general is here, bring a carload of daughter Hong, and hope that the general will smile." ”

"Hahaha, break the captive, don't you play tricks in front of me anymore, don't you want to order someone? To you. Saying that, He Jin made the appointment order that had been prepared for a long time, Huo Yu took it and saw that it was empty, and he understood He Jin's intentions.

So he bowed again: "General Xie, you will obey your orders in the future!" ”

"With your words, it's enough" Huo Yu knew that it was time to retire, so he got up and said goodbye.
