Chapter 33 Chang'an, Chang'an
After the army crossed the Bashui Bridge mightily, along the way, the government soldiers who had already packed their bags disappeared into the path next to the official road, and the steps under their feet became a lot brisker. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Er and the twenty-five generals behind him walked for half an hour, and then they saw the Mingde Gate from a distance, followed by the 3,000 new troops led by Fugui, and then the team escorting the prisoners and booty. The people waiting outside the city gate saw the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and they knew that the army had returned, and the crowd suddenly boiled, and the city gate defenders who maintained order hurriedly drove the people who crossed the road boundary to both sides, and then a straight road flashed.
"Bang ......" was still a long way from the city gate, and the crowd heard the neat pace of the new army. The voice was getting closer and closer, and the heart seemed to be beating in unison with this neat pace, and on a hot day, everyone was shocked by the momentum of this army, but the blood on his body felt like it was on fire, as if it was about to burn.
"Knock knock ......" A burst of gongs and drums sounded, and the military musicians played with the instrumental music in their hands, and the pace of the new army was too loud to be covered without playing hard.
Hearing the sound of military music, from Li Er down, everyone spoke in unison and sang a triumphant song of victory:
"The head of the state will be resigned, and the prime minister will beg the traitors.
The salty song "Breaking the Array Music", appreciating the Taiping people.
……
"The four seas are the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years;
Rong Yi is not even more weary, and it will be successful today.
……
"The Lord is holy and open, and the ministers are loyal to the Great You;
After you look at the Yange, it is the Taiping Autumn.
……”
A song "King Qin's Breaking Array Music" completely ignited everyone's emotions, and even Wang Mai, who had been humming, was also excited, looking at the Mingde Gate in front of him, and said in his heart that this was Chang'an. In my dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I never imagined that I would be lucky enough to see this famous thousand-year-old capital. There are countless beautiful words in my heart, especially the Tang Dynasty is an era of poets, countless golden sentences have been passed down in the world, what "the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day" and so on.
However, the Chang'an City in front of him is still a new city to be exact, with a history of only more than 30 years, no matter what, Su Shi's Chibi nostalgia is in the wrong place, and there is nothing wrong with feeling a new city.
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang...... Wang Mai ...... "I vaguely felt that someone was calling my name, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, one tall and one short, two people were shouting hard at him. Wang Mai was stunned for a while, this person's face was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. After a closer look, the two of them were dressed very luxuriously, and they were accompanied by a few big men with big shoulders and round waists, who seemed to be from rich backgrounds.
"It's my ......" the man waved his hand hard, "I'm Dugu Xiude......"
Dugu Xiude? Wang Mai suddenly realized and hurriedly beckoned to the two, but although the speed of the army's march was not fast, it quickly passed through the location where the two were, and when he turned around, his sight was blocked by Wei Chi Jingde behind him.
"That person is Wang Mai?" The young man next to Dugu Xiude asked with wide eyes. This young man is fair-skinned and very handsome, and if you look closely, you can find that it is a girl dressed as a man, and it is rare that there is a good mole between her eyebrows, which adds a bit of style to her.
"That's right!" Dugu Xiude nodded, "Engong not only saved me, but also forced Wang Shichong to death, avenged our father's revenge, and was kind to our Dugu family." When Luoyang said goodbye that day, he was just a mere assistant teacher of the country, but he didn't expect that in just two or three years, he had made great contributions to the imperial court. "After Dugu Xiude escaped from Luoyang with Qin Qiongcheng biting gold, he came all the way to Chang'an to join the Tang Dynasty.
The Dugu family has a deep relationship with the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's mother is from the Dugu clan, and Dugu Xiude's grandfather Dugu Zang and Li Yuan's mother are sisters and brothers.
The Dugu family is said to be the descendants of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, who was trapped in Dugu Mountain because of the Xiongnu, so he called the Dugu tribe and changed his surname to Dugu. Dugu Xinqiao, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, married three daughters, and the eldest daughter Dugu Jinluo married Yuwenyu, the monarch of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was posthumously named queen; The fourth daughter, Dugu Piluo, that is, Li Yuan's mother, was posthumously named Empress Yuanzhen; The seventh daughter, Dugu Jialuo, married Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, and later became a famous literary queen in history. The three generations of relatives of the Dugu clan are so prosperous, and it is an unprecedented thing to have three queens in one door.
Because of the identity of his relatives, after entering the Tang Dynasty, Dugu Xiude was appointed as the Ministry of Food. Although his life after entering the Tang Dynasty was comfortable, he never forgot the blood feud in the family, and the deaths of his father and uncle were like an inextricable heart disease that haunted him from time to time. Four months ago, the news of the capture of Luoyang came, along with the good news that Wang Shichong was in a different place, and after asking, he learned that it was Wang Mai, who saved his life that day, and led a group of people to attack the palace and force Wang Shichong to death. The grace of saving his life and avenging his father, this kindness cannot be repaid too much.
Therefore, I had already inquired clearly that Wang Mai would enter the city with King Qin today, and I took people to the city gate early this morning to wait, but when I went out, I bumped into my sister Dugu Zhantan, and I had to beg to come out with him to join in the fun, so I had no choice but to ask her to change into men's clothes and come out together.
Dugu Zhantan tilted his head and looked at his brother, with a look of disappointment: "I think this Wang Mai is very ordinary, and there is nothing extraordinary, how can it be so heroic as the legend?" ”
Dugu Xiude glared at his sister angrily: "Do you think the heroes of the world are all five big and three rough martial artists?" When Engong rescued me that day, his face did not change in the face of the army of search, and his heart did not beat, which is the real bravery. After saying this, he felt a little blushing, Wang Mai was indeed quite calm at that time, but as soon as Wang Ren left, his original form was revealed, and he couldn't walk steadily. However, in order to increase the persuasiveness, Wang Mai had to be described as a brave man who was not in danger.
"Really?" Dugu Zhantan looked at his brother's expression and asked a little suspiciously.
"Of course," Dugu Xiude said without hesitation, "If you don't have this, how dare you lead a group of people to attack the palace?" ”
"Hee-hee......" Dugu Zhantan smiled mischievously, "So people have to see him well." ”
"You better stay at home honestly, don't be idle all day long, don't have a woman's reserve at all, don't freak out Engong." Dugu Xiude shook his head and said. This sister is good at everything, but her temperament is a little lively, not like a girl.
