Chapter 2 Arrival in Luoyang

The East China Sea is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, Han Lie came all the way, although he did not encounter big trouble, but he also saw the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many rural places are red land, full of refugees, remote mountain roads will jump out of some homeless robberies from time to time, the most funny and sad thing for Han Lie is that in the territory of Liangdi, he encountered a group of homeless people who robbed the road, almost everyone was unclothed, the oldest was seventy years old, and the youngest was still in the arms of the woman.

In the face of such a group of robbers, Han Lie had to knock over a few leading young men with his fist first, and after shocking these people, he really couldn't bear to watch those women, children and children starve to death, so he had to take out five hundred yuan from his bag on horseback, and help these people before he escaped.

When Han Lie arrived in Luoyang, it was already the end of November of the sixth year of Zhongping.

Luoyang in winter, cold and bleak, this is of course the relationship of climate, but it is also closely related to the current political situation in Luoyang.

When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, deposed the young emperor and set up Chen Liuwang as the emperor of the Han Dynasty. In order to win the hearts of the army, Dong Zhuo also plundered property, women, and mutilate the people in Beijing, so that everyone in Beijing is now in danger.

Such a turbulent situation has stirred up the once prosperous eastern capital of Luoyang, and mourning is everywhere.

Han Lie, who was wearing a hat, led the horse and found an inn in a secluded street in the East City to stay. The main purpose of this visit to Beijing is to collect the bones of the children of the Chen family, and secondly, to check the political situation in Luoyang, the center of the world, and to get to know and make friends with some heroes by the way, so as to decide where to go in the future.

The building is about to fall, and the troubled times are gradually emerging, as a modern person, Han Lie knows that he can't be alone, and now he can only take one step at a time. Although the historical figures in his mind, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun's father and son, have not yet made a career now, if he goes to take refuge at this time, he may be able to win some credit, but he can't go to the past for no reason, first of all, people don't necessarily trust him, and secondly, he doesn't know anything about the other party's character, after all, those are all heroes, that is not a ruthless person, one is not good, and he doesn't know how to die.

When he came to Luoyang this time, Uncle Chen once told him that there were still some old things in the Chen family in Luoyang that were trustworthy, and it was the help of the old people that he was able to escort Han Lie and Mrs. Chen out of Luoyang five years ago.

On the third day after settling down in Luoyang, Han Lie came to the door.

This person is none other than Situ Wang Yun, the prince of the dynasty, and the father-in-law of the world-famous beauty Diao Chan in history.

Wang Yun and Chen Tan have been friends for many years, also a teacher and friend, Chen Tan was imprisoned in the past, although he helped Chen Bo escort Han Lie out of Luoyang, he was also forced to retire, until the beginning of this year, the general He Jin took power, before he was able to re-enter the office, first as Henan Yin, and then took over Shang Shuling, until Situ, one of the three dukes, to achieve a promotion process of three consecutive jumps in a year.

Han Lie knocked on the door of Wang Yun's mansion at night, for a person like Han Lie who knocked on the door in the middle of the night, the servant of the porter was still quite unhappy, when Han Lie handed out the token and handed it over, and the housekeeper personally greeted him, the doorman lowered his eyebrows and welcomed Han Lie in.

Han Lie, who was wearing a brim of a hat, was wearing a gray robe, wrapping himself tightly, until he walked outside the hall and saw the old man in Chinese clothes who was looking forward to the entrance of the hall, he stretched out his hand to take off his hat and bowed and said, "Little nephew Han Lie, meet Wang Shibo." ”

"Quick, hurry up, I haven't seen you for many years, and you've grown so big." When Han Lie raised his head, Wang Yun looked at the handsome face in front of him, and reached out to support Han Lie's arms in a somewhat stunned manner, and said quite excitedly.

"Let's go inside and talk." Wang Yun's emotions were quite excited, which showed that he was indeed happy for Han Lie's arrival.

When the next person brought the tea and soup, Wang Yun said: "Since the death of the tenth servant, I have sent someone to look for you, but I have never heard from you, I don't want the virtuous nephew to really come, I don't know if Mrs. Chen is healthy?" ”

"There is Lao Wang Shibo who is concerned, but my grandmother has died of illness a few months ago, and my little nephew came this time to follow my grandmother's last words, and came to collect the bones of my grandfather and parents and return to my hometown for burial." Han Lie sighed lightly and said his intention in a calm tone.

"Alas, I didn't expect Mrs. Chen to leave like this." Wang Yun's face flashed a trace of sadness, and said: "Regarding the bones, don't worry about the bones, the bones of the children of the Chen family, I have already ordered someone to re-bury them at the foot of Beishan Mountain. Wang Yun shook his head, but expressed his objection.

Although Han Lie is not a superstitious person, he also knows the truth that death is great, and falling into the ground is safe, if the bones of the children of the Chen family are still in the wilderness, even if they die desperately, they will have to converge back to the East China Sea, but now that they have been buried, there is really no need for him to break the ground again.

"What Wang Shibo said is reasonable, and I also asked Wang Shibo to arrange someone to guide the way, and the little nephew will go to worship his ancestors tomorrow morning." Han Lie thought about it and immediately accepted Wang Yun's proposal.

"It's so good, from today on, the virtuous nephew will live in the mansion and treat this place as his home." Although Wang Yun is a politician, his relationship with the Chen family is sincere, which is enough to show from his eagerness for Han Lie.

"So it's going to talk about Wang Shibo." Han Lie thought of the current chaos in Luoyang, and thought that Wang Yun also needed help, so he decided to stay and help, and then he said: "Thanks to Wang Shibo, if it is useful to go to the place of the little nephew, just ask." ”

Wang Yun's eyes swept over Han Lie's soft face, and he sighed to himself: I haven't seen him in just five years, this child has grown as enchanting as a woman, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that he would be a young man.

Han Lie is now a man in two lives, although he was not a powerful figure in his previous life, but he was also a soldier who had experienced the baptism of war, and he had never seen anyone in his heart, so Wang Yun's hesitant eyes did not hide from him.

Standing up, he stepped out, and the steel ring knife on his waist came out in response, only to see a streamer flash, and when Han Lie turned around and sat down again, a thick carved beam of an arm above the roof fell to the ground, and it fell into five sections.

Although Wang Yun is a civil official, he is not powerless, he also learned the six arts when he was young, he is not a master of swordsmanship and archery, but he is also proficient, and more importantly, he thinks that his eyesight is not bad, but just now Han Lie obviously only made one knife, but he cut a wood carving into five knots, and this kind of knife technique is not an exaggeration to describe it as swift as a meteor.

"Good, good knife technique." Wang Yun was surprised, and couldn't help but pat his palm.

"Wang Shibo praised, and asked Shibo not to blame the little nephew for being a fool." Han Lie's behavior just now was not a show, it was purely to let Wang Yun know that his current strength was not as useless as it appeared on the surface.

"I didn't expect that in just five years, the virtuous nephew has already won the true inheritance of Uncle Chen's sword technique, which is really unexpected." Wang Yun was amazed, nodded happily, and even the sorrow between his eyebrows dissipated.

This night, Wang Yun talked very much, and kept pulling Han Lie to talk about the big and small things in recent years, as well as the current situation in the imperial court, although he didn't say it explicitly, but Han Lie still heard that Wang Yun was only afraid that he really needed his help if there was something.

However, seeing that Wang Yun was not in a hurry to speak, Han Lie was inconvenient to ask.

The next day, as soon as the sky was polished, Han Lie had just gotten up to practice his knife when he heard a melodious sound of the piano in the courtyard next door.

The sound of the piano is lingering, and the aftermath is endless. Although Han Lie is not a person who understands the qin, he can still hear the person who caresses the qin, and he is definitely a person with a superb piano tone.

Otherwise, he would definitely not play such a beautiful movement, in the melodious sound of the piano, the ring head knife in Han Lie's hand is also as if it has life, the first few styles of the knife technique in the "Nine Palace Illusion Map" have been comprehended by him, one move after another, and the clouds and rivers are displayed, and the blades fall all over the courtyard, and the water at the end of the one zhang cannot be splashed.

"Nine Palace Illusion Map" is not the martial arts practiced by Chen Bo, but the ancestor of Chen Tan, it is said that Chen Tan's ancestor once served as a captain in Youbeiping when he obtained a set of practice atlas, this set of atlas records a complete set of practice methods, representing nine animal forms, which can be described as wonderful.

After breakfast, under the personal guidance of the palace steward, Han Lie came to the North Mountain at the north gate of Luoyang to worship the ancestors of the Chen family. This time to sweep the tomb, Han Lie stayed until dark, cleaned up the entire cemetery, and re-covered some sealed soil.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Han Lie heard the sound of the piano again, followed Han Lie's steward for a day, and saw that Han Lie was fascinated by listening to it, and couldn't help but smile proudly: "Miss Diao Chan's piano sound is getting more and more beautiful." ”
