Xu Shu understood Wang Xu's words, and although she opened her mouth unwillingly, she swallowed it helplessly in the end. In fact, Wang Xu's meaning is far less simple than it seems, because apart from himself, only Xu Shu knows a qiē. If she follows after that, then many things will be stranded, such as family migration, a large number of horse purchases, the contact and development of spy shadows, etc., all of which will come to a standstill.

It's just that although Xu Shu acquiesced to staying, she was still very sad in the next three days. Although Wang Xu understood in his heart, he didn't know what to say, and after sending the three facial features away, he had to be busy delivering the things after leaving, and he was very busy every day, and he only had time to accompany Xu Shu at night.

Three days later, Wang Xu finally inspected everything and entrusted all the measures for the next period of time one by one. Because the edict stipulated that he must arrive within half a month, he had to set off early in the morning of the fourth day, and left under the farewell of all civil officials and military generals, and embarked on the journey to Luoyang.

Along the way, Wang Xu did not stop at all, except for the necessary rest and eating, almost all of them were spent in a hurry. Because all the way is along the official road, it is smooth and easy to walk, and the nearest road is found. Therefore, at dusk on the sixth day, before the sunset, he had already rushed to the south of Luoyang.

"Lord, is this Luoyang? It's so majestic, it's at least three or four times bigger than our Quanling County! Seeing the majestic city wall in the distance, Dian Wei suddenly sighed.

"Hehe, when you first traveled, didn't you even come to the capital Luoyang?" Wang Xu suddenly wondered.

"No, I bypassed it at first, and then I didn't come because I didn't have enough money." Dian Wei scratched his head honestly.

"Luoyang is very prosperous." Seeing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Has the lord been in Luoyang?" Dian Wei asked.

Wang Xu nodded suddenly: "Hmm!" I've been to Luoyang once, but I've only walked around a little bit. Since then, he has been locked up in the prison of Yanwei Temple, and he must have lived here for half a year! ”

As he spoke, he involuntarily recalled the scene when he first entered Luoyang, and the dilemma of being escorted into the city at that time is still vivid. But in just over three years, time has passed. is also the majestic city wall, and it is also the prosperous Luoyang, but the prisoner under the rank at the beginning is now returning to Beijing to report on his work as a feudal official. For a while, Wang Xu's heart also rose with infinite emotion.

"Dian Wei, let's go! First go to the imperial court post house to settle down, and in the evening we go to visit the night market in Luoyang. I've only heard of it, but I haven't seen it! ”

"Okay!" Dian Wei suddenly happily agreed.

"Huh!" smiled, Wang Xu stopped talking, and raised the horsewhip in his hand, "Drive!" With a bang, he was already rushing towards the magnificent city wall.

When he entered Luoyang, Dian Wei was immediately shocked by the prosperous layout, and looked around along the way, and he would sigh from time to time. Wang Xu was not so excited, after all, he had already seen it, but walking on Luoyang Street so freely was very different from back then.

It's a pity that the two of them don't know the road, and they still went around a lot of circles after asking along the way. By the time they found the Imperial Palace in the inner city, it was already completely dark.

"Who's coming? This is the imperial court inn, and idle people are not allowed to approach! Wang Xu was about to go in, but the guards guarding the door of the post house suddenly stopped.

Wang Xu didn't care, and smiled politely: "Oh! I am Wang Xu, the general of Pingnan, and I was ordered to return to the army to report on my work. ”

"General Pingnan?" Hearing this title, several guards immediately looked at each other, because they had never heard of this title before. After a long time, the leader hesitated and said, "I don't know if the general can show the certificate, otherwise we won't be able to distinguish it." It's just that the attitude of speaking is much more submissive, and he also bows his hand.

"Hmm!" Nodding, Wang Xu did not hesitate, when he took out his general seal from his arms. "This is my seal."

Seeing this, the first person immediately greeted him solemnly, took the seal with both hands, and looked at it carefully.

But after a while, he glanced at Wang Xu suspiciously, and hesitated: "General, are you really General Pingnan?" ”

Wang Xu is not stupid, seeing his appearance, he suddenly understood after thinking about it carefully. immediately slapped his forehead and smiled slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, to be precise, I have just been promoted to General Pingnan, because His Majesty asked me to return to Beijing to report on my work, so I waited for me to return to Beijing to change the general seal." The seal in your hand is still the seal of General Kou, and I am General Wang Xu. ”

As soon as these words came out, the guard immediately laughed: "No wonder! ”

But then his face changed, and he suddenly looked over excitedly, staring straight at Wang Xu's face. "General Kou? Your Excellency is Wang Xu of the Yellow Turban, Weizhen Nanban, General Wang? ”

"Exactly!" Wang Xu smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, the guards were flushed with excitement, and the person at the head said even more urgently: "I have heard of General Wang's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet here today, it's really an honor." ”

"Hehe, I'm just a mortal, where is it worthy of your love." Wang Xu shook his head with a smile and said.

"Where, General Wang's prestige has long been praised in the army, and none of us young people take the general as an example! I heard that when attacking Guangzong, the general took the lead, rushed to the city wall alone, faced tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves Kou Shang and did not change his face, fought to the death without retreating, killed thousands of people alone, and finally captured Guangzong, with a sharp hand. I didn't see that scene, it was ......."

Seeing that the guard was spitting and talking non-stop, and it was ridiculously exaggerated, beads of sweat the size of beans suddenly appeared on Wang Xu's forehead. A man rushing to the city wall? That's looking for death. Facing tens of thousands of people alone without retreating? That's a madman. As for killing thousands of people alone? That must have been done by God......

It is rumored that this thing is really getting more and more outrageous, where was the thing like this back then, it was clear that he was forced to go to the city in person, and the result was still frequent. Later, during the pursuit, if Zhou Zhi hadn't blocked an arrow, he would have returned to the west long ago.

The only thing that can be called a good one is the point of snatching the city tower, but it was also with dozens of knights with big axes, as well as Zhang Jing and Zhou Zhi, who worked hard to succeed.

Seeing that the guard was getting more and more vigorous, and it was ridiculously exaggerated, Wang Xu hurriedly snorted and interrupted: "Don't mention the things back then." By the way, I still have to meet the saint tomorrow, and I have to prepare tonight, so I think it's better to talk about it another day when I have time! ”

As soon as these words came out, the guard stopped, but he still smacked his lips unsatisfied, and then turned his head and said, "You go and inform the steward quickly, and I will take General Wang to the lobby to rest first." ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately followed him into the post house. Of course, he didn't dare to give him a chance to speak again, and kept asking about the situation in Luoyang, so as to delay time.

Fortunately, the steward of the post house arrived quickly, and finally let Wang Xu get rid of this "enthusiastic" guard and was taken to another courtyard.

Originally, Wang Xu planned to settle down, so he took Dian Wei to visit the night market in Luoyang. It's a pity that I didn't get the opportunity at all, and just after taking a shower and changing clothes, many officials came to visit.

It turned out that after the steward brought Wang Xu to the other courtyard, he sent someone to notify the court as soon as possible. And how well-informed the DPRK and Chinese officials were, it spread almost in a short time. And Wang Xu is currently in a strong position, and he is favored by several forces, so naturally there are many unimportant officials who rushed to make friends.

It's just that the first to arrive were the people from the General's Mansion, and the leader was Wang Xu's uncle, Wang Fei's father, Wang Qian!

But because there were many people, Wang Xu didn't talk too much to Wang Qian, just shush the cold and ask for warmth, and talked about some things in life. And as there are more and more people here in Wang Xu, the two of them rarely even have the opportunity to talk, and they are polite to the officials. In the end, the post house became a meeting place for officials, and it was very lively.

Although these officials were all insignificant figures, all of whom Wang Xu had never heard of, he still received everyone very warmly. After all, if you are new to the city and don't know the situation, of course, you still have to build a good relationship. Besides, although these officials may seem insignificant, there may be those characters hidden in the dark, and what history records is always only superficial.

Moreover, Wang Xu has already made up his mind when he enters Beijing this time, and he will definitely not get involved in the rights struggle of the major forces. Because as long as the Spirit Emperor does not die, it is impossible for the world to really be in chaos. As long as you get involved, then your foundation is likely to be ruined.

In the past few years, hiding in Tibet for the time being, even if he became the Taishou of Lingling, he was extremely low-key in the DPRK, except for the necessary "activities" in the dark, he almost did not make friends with anyone, the purpose was to be a hidden dragon. And if you don't dive well at this time, it's really a failure.

And to do this, Wang Xu's strategy is to pretend to be stupid and maintain a good relationship with everyone. And try to keep a low profile, preferably to be able to fade out of the eyes of the major forces and be underestimated by them.

Therefore, Wang Xu seemed very stupid this night, and often asked some questions that made people laugh. And most of them talk about Fengyue with everyone, and they talk about everything, all of which are meaningless conversations.

It wasn't until late at night that the officials saw that their goals had been achieved, so they gradually took their leave.

When sending off the last official, Wang Xu felt that these two or three hours were really more tiring than fighting. The thought of dealing with these people all day long in the future is even more of a headache.

However, these are all things in the future, and the first problem to face next is the Spirit Emperor's pass. Tian Feng's words are not wrong at all, he can pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of officials, but not with Emperor Ling.

And it is extremely difficult for me to have rights, but also not to be arbitrarily transferred, and not to be seen by the major forces for their hidden intentions. If you make a mistake, you will completely lose your hand and disrupt the whole plan.

Although it is also possible to raise troops in the future, it is equivalent to having to start all over again, which will only increase the variables. Besides, if you are completely on the same starting line as the princes and give up your dominant position, the time to unify the world is likely to be delayed for many years, and those princes are not fuel-efficient lamps!

This night, Wang Xu couldn't sleep, lit an oil lamp, and tossed and turned on the bed thinking about how to deal with it......
