Chapter 118: No Way Ahead

When people talk about Hangu, they will inevitably think of the story of Lao Tzu coming out of Hangu and entering the quicksand in the west.

However, there are three Hangu Pass in history, Lao Tzu came out of Hangu Valley, and Hangu Pass came from the east of Purple Qi, which was established during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, collectively referred to as Qin Pass; Thereafter, in 184 A.D., Yang Pu, the general of the Hanlou ship, was in the new east of the original Hangu Pass. Quiet. The county, built a city, people called it the Han Dynasty Hangu Pass, but it has long been abandoned, only the ruins of the gate remain, which records the ups and downs of the city in the past thousand years, as well as the rise and fall of the city.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu Machao, in order to quickly transport the grain and grass of soldiers and horses, he dug a plank road and built a customs building at 20 kilometers northeast of Lingbao in later generations. Because it is not far from Qinguan and is located to the west of Hanguan, it is called Xinguan.

Since then, Xinguan has become a traffic artery that reaches Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west......

Hangu Sanguan is already behind!

June is coming to an end, and the mountain flowers are gradually withering.

In Cijian Town, not far from Luoyang, Xijing, there is a lot of traffic and it is very lively.

It was already late, and Yu Yin was in the dust, riding a dark gold thin horse slowly. Seeing the bright lights in Cijian Town from afar, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, turned over and dismounted, took the reins, and walked slowly towards the checkpoint at the entrance of Cijian Town.

It's been nearly a month since I left the city of Kedun.

The ears still echoed Yu Liyan under the bright moon, and the sad call was loud.

At that time, Yuyin almost couldn't help it and ran out to meet Yu Liyan. But he knew that as soon as he appeared, it would be difficult to leave.

Yan Nu is his wife.

But Yu Liyan is the first real love after Yuyin was reborn.

If he doesn't like Yu Liyan? That's pure lie.

However, he has his responsibilities, his roots are in Kaifeng, and his body has the blood of the Song people. He is not the Ren Dejing, let alone Zhang Bangyan and the like who groveled and surrendered to the Jin people. He is Yuyin Yu Xiaoyi, and from the moment he was reborn, his fate was closely linked to Kaifeng, and he was connected with his wife and friends.

Yu Yin knew very well in his heart that if he was with Yu Liyan, he would be very happy.

But he can't, because in his body, there is still the attachment and stubbornness left over from his previous life......

So, Yuyin must come back!

God knows if the history books of later generations will record his decision.

But Yuyin didn't regret it...... Back in Kaifeng, he failed Yu Liyan alone; But if he stayed in Liao, he would betray his wife and his friend! Such a decision may not be fair to Yu Liyan, but Yuyin has to do it. Not for anything else, just for the blood flowing in his body, the Song people's blood.

But to be honest, all the way back, Yu Yin's mood was not good.

Every time I think of Yu Liyan wearing the moonlight, the sadness of the pear blossoms with rain, there is always a kind of zizi colic in my heart.

Luckily, it's almost home!

The city of Kedun belongs to the city of Kedun, and the city of Kaifeng belongs to Kaifeng...... He will face countless dangers next, but this is also his choice.

Don Ji!

This name has lingered in Yu Yin's mind.

Li Bangyan may not remember Yufei back then, so Yuyin doesn't have to care too much; But Tang Ji and Yu Yin can't take it lightly. Since this guy appeared, he must have his purpose. I just don't know, what is this person doing?

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Yin's heart was like an arrow.

Before the checkpoint, Yuyin paid the tax.

In the past two years, the taxes of the Great Song Dynasty have become heavier and heavier, and every place you have passed, you have to pay corresponding taxes.

Fortunately, Yu Yin didn't have too many items worth paying taxes, except for paying a hundred taxes for his dark gold thin horse, and he successfully passed the level. It's just that Yu Yin didn't understand in the end, why did he have to pay taxes when he entered the city to eat forage? Also, do I need taxes to occupy the stables? Shouldn't this be an inn payment?

In this year, there are too many things that Yu Yin can't understand.

Simply no longer had a headache about this, and walked along the wide street with one man and one horse, and soon came to the door of an inn.

"Is the guest officer sharpening or staying in the hotel?"

The guy in the store greeted him very warmly.

I have to say that the service quality of the Song Dynasty is very good, you get what you pay for, how much money you pay, what level of service you can get, this is complementary to each other. Yu Yin patted Dark Gold's head, and then handed the reins to his buddy.

His thin horse doesn't attract attention, but his temperament is very stubborn, not much like Yuyin.

No one can approach it except Yuyin.

If Yu Yin didn't slap him twice, he couldn't say that as soon as that guy came over, Dark Jin's stubborn temper would give him a hoof.

"Use good materials, and arrange a separate stable for it."

"Alone, on the concentrate!"

When the man heard this, he hurriedly shouted loudly, and then led the dark gold and walked towards the stable.

Yu Yin is not short of money now, and when he left from Kedun City, he was not polite, and took away the three hundred taels of silver that Yu Liyan gave him before, as well as a bag of jewelry. Added up in bits and pieces, Yu Yin had at least about 5,000 pieces of property on his body. There are still many things that are difficult to carry, otherwise the amount of money would be even more staggering.

In addition to the three hundred taels of silver and a bag of jewels, Yu Yin also took a set of "Zizhi Tongjian" from Kedun City.

In his previous life, he had read this book.

It's just that at the time, it was more to pass the time, and I didn't care too much about it in my heart. Later generations value academic qualifications, how many foreign languages you know, and what kind of connections you have. As for how many historical works you have read, no one cares. Except for those who specialize in history, even if they can memorize the general knowledge of information and governance, it will not bring much benefit.

Now, Yu Yin feels that this Zizhi Tongjian is really a good book!

It's a pity that not everyone can buy this kind of book...... Even in the city of Kedun, there are only two sets.

Kaifeng is the cultural birthplace of this era, but due to the party disputes over the years, Sima Guang's set of "Zizhi Tongjian" is not widely circulated. Not to mention that at the beginning of the year, Song Huizong issued an edict to strictly circulate the works of Su Huang and other Yuanyou old parties, which also made "Zizhi Tongjian" extremely scarce. Besides, how many people will be interested in such a large historiographical work? Many readers in Kaifeng City do not read Su Huang's poems and Liu Sanchang's poems as elegant, but this kind of work with profound connotation is displayed in the bookstore and is not familiar to people.

Yu Yin took the package from his horse and walked into the inn hall with a step.

As soon as he entered the door, he suddenly felt a kind of noise rushing to his face, which made him frown......

"Can you go to the room quietly?"

The guy hurriedly said: "Don't worry, this inn is the best inn in Cijian Town, and of course there is no shortage of quiet rooms." ”

"In this way, I will give my house a quiet room."

"Quiet upper room!"

The guy was busy shouting loudly, and after hearing it on the counter, he immediately took out the door number, and when Yuyin stepped forward, he said respectfully: "This room is quiet, and it costs 600 wen a day." ”

Yu Yin took out a piece of loose silver from his arms, about a tael, threw it on the counter, and picked up the door number......

Led by the guys, Yuyin came to the room.

After washing his face and changing into clean clothes, he said to the guy, "I'll make some hot soup later, I want to wash it myself." ”

Hot soup is bath water.

When the guy heard this, he immediately agreed, and by the way, he also got a reward of ten yuan from Yuyin.

Out of the guest room, back to the inn lobby.

Yuyin found a relatively quiet table, ordered three catties of beef, one catty of steamed cakes, and asked for two side dishes and a pot of wine by the way.

After breaking through the third layer of kung fu, Yu Yin's appetite was still undiminished, and even more than before.

The man was not surprised by this, and soon took a jar of wine, put the food on the table, and respectfully withdrew.

After a day's journey, Yuyin is really hungry!

He was arrogant and feasting, like a cloud in the wind.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise outside the door, and people shouted and neighed, and there was a mess.

"Official-Liu, why is this coming back again?"

"Speaking of this angry man, the road to Luoyang is blocked, saying that he wants to arrest some bandits, so that the money cannot be accommodated...... There was no way to get over it, so I had to come back again. This road closure will not be allowed to pass for three or five days, so I have to think of some way. ”

As he spoke, he saw a guy leading a short and fat man into the hall.

The shopkeeper behind the counter hurriedly turned out from behind the counter, and took a few steps towards the short and fat man: "Liu Daguan is back again?" ”

"I said, you old thing, how can you be so bad?

The road to Luoyang has obviously been sealed, and he didn't say a word to me, causing himself to waste his shoes in vain, but he wanted to come back. ”

The short and fat man is about thirty years old.

The complexion is dark, the face is round, and it looks fleshy. is obviously covered in dust, but it is difficult to hide his rich appearance. The eyes are a little small, and when you laugh, it becomes a fish. He has a mustache and a thick Tokyo accent when he opens his mouth.

Yu Yin stopped his chopsticks, and his heart moved: Why did you block the road to Luoyang?

"Prepare a room for your own house first, the old rule, one upper room, three bunks...... By the way, someone will help take care of the goods, and when the guys come in, they will prepare some food. On this day, my stomach is also hungry, and good wine and good food come up. ”

Speaking of this goods, he got rid of the old wealth of a landlord.

When Yu Yin was thinking about it, he saw the guy leading the big official Liu and walked to him.

"Guest officer, today's business is too good, there is no table, can you fight a table?"

Yu Yin smiled and nodded, "But it's just a fight, and I've almost eaten it myself." ”

When Liu Daguan heard Yu Yin's opening, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he sat opposite Yu Yin, "My name is Liu Qing, and listening to my brother's accent, does it seem that he is also from Kaifeng?" ”

"Exactly."

Yu Yin smiled and waved his hand to invite Liu Qing to sit down.

This Liu Qing glanced at the messy cups and plates on the table, and said, "Brother has a good appetite, it's a blessing to be able to eat when you walk outside."

By the way, dare to ask the brother Daimyo? ”

It seems that this Liu Daguan is still familiar.

Yu Yin also happened to want to inquire about the road closure, so he arched his hand to Liu Qing and sang: "My family name is Yu Yin, and I live next to Guanyin Courtyard. The big official called me 'Xiao Yi', and I was about to ask the big official for advice. ”
