Chapter 39: Change
Recently, the Han Dynasty was not peaceful, and there was a national uproar of the event, the original Gongsun Yi account under Tian Yu, publicly announced the support of the army, the beautiful name of Gongwei Jingshi, declared that he would no longer follow Gongsun Yi, since then there is no intersection of righteousness.
There was the tiger Dong Zhuo in the front, the evil wolf Tian Yu in the back, and the cavalry general He Miao, although Chen soldiers had nearly 10,000 soldiers to defend the forbidden court, but he did not listen to the orders of the young emperor at all, and as long as he was in a slightly unhappy mood, he threatened to withdraw his troops.
As a last resort, the young emperor could only try his best to appease, seal the official and enter the knighthood, reward a large amount of gold and silver, and personally preside over a marriage, for fear that He Miao would suddenly rebel, and the desperate young emperor put all the bets on the new ruling Jin Wu Ding Yuan.
He Miao finally showed off his might, and he was prominent for a while, although He Miao was already a general of the chariot and cavalry earlier, but he only relied on the tiger power of the general He Jin, and now he controls the capital, and even the emperor has to be polite when he sees him.
Originally, he looked down on the officials of the DPRK and China who were born as butchers, but now whoever sees him has to give three points of courtesy, but the arrogant and domineering He Miao does not know that his death is coming.
***
When Yang Yi returned to Luodu, the original mansion had been repossessed, the door of the house had been sealed, and there was still a soldier guarding it with a knife, which felt a little like falling into a well.
Yang Yi has learned that the young emperor has a cold temperament, which made Yang Yi, who originally planned to lead the army to defend the capital, disheartened, and was penniless at this time, so it was a little difficult to move forward in Luodu for a while.
Yang Yi led the horse slowly, only to feel that the hunger in his stomach was unbearable, and he secretly regretted that he should have asked Dong Zhuo for some silver taels at the beginning, and he would not be so embarrassed at this time.
Looking at the hot buns on the street, Yang Yi only felt a rumbling in his stomach, shook his head and sighed, and led the war horse to walk quickly.
"Isn't this Gongsun-sama?" Suddenly, a gray-haired woman carrying vegetables walked out of the street, and the woman still looked charming, but her gray hair looked out of place.
"How do you recognize me?"
"My son was a soldier in the Northern Army, and when I first went to visit, I was fortunate enough to see the adult once, although my son is now dead on the battlefield, but it is an honor to serve the adult, and the adult must not be discouraged." Seeing that Yang Yi heard that Beijun's face was gloomy, the woman hurriedly chuckled and persuaded her.
"I'm no longer an adult, Madame's warm words, Gongsun Yi felt deeply." Yang Yi bowed, his words full of apologies.
Yang Yi heard the woman's words of understanding, and thought of the death of nearly 10,000 Northern troops on the battlefield, and also realized that countless families had lost their loved ones, and the strong guilt made Yang Yi have mixed feelings for a while.
At this moment, Yang Yi's stomach rumbled again, Yang Yi was embarrassed and a little at a loss, the woman hid her face and chuckled: "If Lord Gongsun doesn't give up, there is still hot porridge at home." ”
"If you don't thank you for your kindness, he will be rewarded in the future." Yang Yi wanted to refuse, but seeing the woman's earnest eyes, the words that he intended to refuse were swallowed suddenly, and he no longer shirked, and followed the woman towards the small house in the alley.
It's just that Yang Yi didn't notice that at the corner not far away, there were six daggers hanging from their waists, and the sturdy man was hiding on the side, carefully observing every move around him, and when Yang Yi entered the alley, he hurriedly chased after him.
In a small house that is not large and does not have much furnishings, although it seems that life is a little hard, it gives people a very warm feeling.
"Lord Gongsun can come to the cold house, it's really brilliant."
Yang Yi saw that the woman was empty and did not see her, so while answering, he got up and walked outside, only to see that in front of the pot stove not far away, the woman casually sprinkled a packet of medicinal powder into the rice porridge.
Yang Yi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly retreated to the small living room, his heart was restless, and his hand unconsciously pressed on the saber, but when the smiling woman entered the living room with rice porridge, Yang Yi quietly let go of his hand, but his heart was still tormented like an ant on a hot pot.
"Adults are hungry, a bowl of coarse rice porridge, please don't dislike it." The woman chuckled and handed it with both hands.
Yang Yi took it quietly, casually put the rice porridge on the table, and his face suddenly changed: "Why did Madame put medicine in the rice porridge, I don't know who wants to buy my Gongsun Yi's head?" ”
The woman's expression changed, and soon her face returned to normal, and she put it on her body casually, leaving only a little medicinal powder on the table, and said with a slightly nervous expression: "Lord Gongsun really misunderstood, this is the ancestral flavor of my family, adding ingredients, the taste will be more fresh and refreshing, causing adults to misunderstand, Wanwang Haihan." ”
"I see, but it's abrupt." Yang Yi secretly blamed himself for being nervous, and got up and hugged his fists.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a sharp dagger stabbed at Yang Yi's chest, Yang Yi's face was stunned, and he stood stupidly in place for a while, unable to move, only to hear a muffled sound of 'poof', Yang Yi's arm was cut by the dagger, and blood flowed like an infusion.
Fortunately, the woman obviously used the dagger for the first time, and she was a little far away from Yang Yi's position, and suddenly stabbed, Yang Yi dodged slightly, but only stabbed her arm, if it weren't for Yang Yi's sluggishness on the spot, I'm afraid this dagger wouldn't have been able to stab at all.
"Give my son back!" The woman's face was hideous, and she looked like a madman, and she held a dagger and stabbed indiscriminately.
Yang Yi's heart was full of guilt, and he dodged very embarrassed, but his palm never touched the saber on his waist again.
There was a loud bang, and the door that had been hidden was kicked open, and six big men rushed in, and immediately stepped forward to grab the dagger and capture the woman.
"Your Excellency, are you all right?" The sturdy man led by the first stepped forward and asked eagerly.
"You're a sergeant from the Cavalry Battalion?" Yang Yi asked, covering the wound on his arm.
"Exactly, Meng Gang, the commander of the Xiaguan Xiaocai Battalion, and these brothers, volunteered to stay to protect the adults, I wanted to go to the Xiliang military camp to see the adults, but I hesitated again and again and did not go deeper, these days, we have been lurking in Luoyang City, looking for a few camps to hide people's eyes and ears, and usually live in the original Panxia Inn."
"Quick, come and bandage your wounds." With Meng Gang's order, a strong man stepped forward to bandage Yang Yi's wounds briefly.
Meng Gang saw that the wound had stopped bleeding before he continued: "Today I finally saw the adult riding back, but there were many people on the road, and I wanted to meet in the alley, but this femme fatale woman took the lead and almost killed the adult. ”
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died here today, not to mention that I am no longer an adult, penniless and like a beggar, would you still be willing to follow?" Yang Yi laughed at himself, and there was a little more temptation in his words.
"Swear to follow." Meng Gang clenched his fists without hesitation and said in a deep voice.
"My lord, what should you do with this femme fatale?" Meng Gang's eyes were full of murderous aura, and he was eager to cut off his head with a knife.
Yang Yi looked at the crazy woman who was struggling desperately, but couldn't break free from the strong men on both sides, and sighed slightly: "Meng Gang, do you still have any money on you?" ”
"Yes, sir." Meng Gang hurriedly took out all the money on his body and respectfully handed it to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi put the silver money on the table, looked at the woman with gray hair and kept struggling and screaming, and said apologetically: "The fiasco of the Northern Army is my fault, but it is not my wish, Dong Zhuo's wolf ambition will inevitably cause trouble in the capital in the future, and a little silver money cannot be expressed in case of guilt, I just hope that Mrs. will leave Luodu as soon as possible, so as not to die in the future by the rebels." ”
Yang Yi bowed, strode out with an expressionless face, and left as if fleeing, facing the woman's resentful eyes, Yang Yi only felt that there was a boulder pressed in his heart, and he was a little out of breath.
Yang Yi, who is in the Xiliang military camp these days, seems to be comfortable, but in fact, he can't sleep at night, as long as he closes his eyes, there will be a tragic fire in front of him, and he has a weak heart to watch countless people being ignited and burned by the flames, constantly rolling on the ground, crying and screaming for his mother.
Every night, it seems that countless unjust souls come to Yang Yi to ask for his life, and the suffocating pressure always makes Yang Yi want to leave this Luodu full of painful memories as soon as possible.
It's just that Dong Zhuo doesn't get rid of it, Yang Yi's conscience is uneasy, and at this time, he and Dong Zhuo think that they are snakes, just looking for an opportunity to get close to Dong Zhuo, and they must be killed with one blow and never suffer in the future.
Just returned to the inn, Yang Yi did not feast on a table of food, but ordered Meng Gang, after half a ring, the sturdy man wearing a hat to hide his identity, hurried out of the inn, and after making sure that there was no eyeliner around, he accelerated his pace and walked towards the depths of Luodudong.
***
The market on the eastern side of Natodo seems to be quite depressed, many shops are hidden, there seems to be little business, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets, and they are all in a hurry.
In a slightly old tavern, dim light filtered through the closed windows, and people could be seen clearly, and a sturdy man wearing a hat pushed the door and walked in, casually dropping a bag of five Chinese baht on the shopkeeper's table.
The shopkeeper picked it up and checked it, and casually threw a metal sign with a chic shape and a golden eagle to the sturdy man wearing a hat.
took the metal card, pulled the hat down slightly, the sturdy man found a table and chair at random and sat down, and the people who were sitting in the dark corner drinking around him looked at the man with the hat quietly, and someone whispered from time to time.
"It seems to be a big customer, are you interested?"
"This money doesn't seem easy to take, so forget it!"
After half a ring, the rugged man with a hammer in one hand and bare shoulders sat abruptly on the table, staring condescendingly at the sturdy man who couldn't see the true face and said, "Make an offer." ”
The sturdy man wearing the hat suddenly drew his sword and faced each other, and the rugged man with the hammer laughed instead of anger, suddenly picked up the hammer, and immediately knocked the knife out.
The sturdy man lifted his cloak, took a bag of jewelry from his waist and threw it on the table, handed over a bamboo board casually, and said lightly: "This is half of the reward, kill this person quietly, and I will hand over the other half to you after I get the things in his hand." ”
The man in the cloak said no more, got up, picked up the saber on the ground and stuck it in its scabbard, strode out of the tavern, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
The rugged man put the hammer aside, hung a bag of jewels around his waist, and took out the bamboo board with small letters written on it and looked at it repeatedly.
