When Han Jian went south, there were more than 200 envoys in the whole team, and when he returned to Jiangbei, there were a total of five people, but when he traveled from Maocheng to Luoyang, there were more than 600 people in the chariot team, mostly cavalry, and the momentum was like a marching army.

On this trip to Southern Qi, Han Jian can be said to have returned home, not only did he not rescue Yang Xi, but even he almost died, and his friend Sima Yi was also detained by the people of Southern Qi. However, fortunately, the Southern Qi did not embarrass the other envoys of the Wei Dynasty, and before Han Jian, another group of envoys who followed Yang Xi to envoy the Southern Qi had already returned to Luoyang first, seven or eight days earlier than Han Jian and his entourage.

On the way to the mission, and on the way back, Han Jian's mood was different. When he went, Han Jian was thinking about how to save people and how to deal with the people of Nanqi, and when he came back, he thought more about the people in his heart. Originally, Han Jian also wanted to go back to Jiangdu and go back to Dongwangfu to see his aunts, after all, he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and he also had a bond in his heart, but in the end, Yang Li'er did not allow Han Jian to return to Jiangdu.

After walking all the way for nearly a month, on the second day of October, the group finally approached Luoyang City. Originally, when he returned to Luoyang and could see Gu Xin'er, Han Jian also had a lot of expectations in his heart. But along the way, he got along with Yang Li'er for a long time, and suddenly found that this young lady's attitude towards her was very unusual.

Yang Li'er was even more indifferent than when the two got along in Luoyang City before, and seemed to be unkind everywhere, but in the arrangement of some things, Yang Li'er seemed to be thinking from his position again, and it was helpful to him and even the guards of the East Wangfu along the way. There is also something that makes Han Jian feel that Yang Li'er is careful, it is Yang Li'er who specially transferred Lin Xiaoyun to go with the team. After all, Lin Xiaoyun is an exiled criminal, and this time he has the opportunity to return to Luoyang City. Although he can't live permanently, he can save his family, which is a great gift for a criminal who has been exiled to the army. Han Jian knew that this was also Yang Li'er's special care for his face.

Han Jian also has a debt to Yang Li'er, it was he who took the initiative to propose to the empress to withdraw from the marriage, marriage is a lifelong event for a woman in this era, a matter of honor, if someone knows that she is rejected for marriage, a woman will suffer from the world's criticism. It's a pity that Han Jian can't compensate, the two have no emotional foundation, they don't have a foundation. Even if it's getting along. It's friendship at best, maybe not even friendship.

On the evening of the second day of October, the car drove at the Chuding Post Station one hundred and forty miles south of Luoyang City. After approaching Luoyang City, some unusual news gradually converged on Han Jian from all sides. Luoyang City said that Taiping is also peaceful. In the past few months when Han Jian has been going south. There was nothing major happening in the court, the king of the north was still imprisoned, and the king of the small north returned to the north to "collude" with the Xianbei people. As for whether there was a war at the border pass, Han Jian was not very clear. On the side of the King of the West, there was no unusual behavior. The whole situation is peaceful.

But after approaching Luoyang City, the first news that Han Jian got from Luoyang City about the empress was that the empress had been sick for more than a month. In this month's time, the situation in Luoyang City was generally stable, but the personnel transfer was somewhat frequent, and the personnel in the city defense and important departments related to the drafting of government decrees were replaced, but they were generally still within a rational range.

After arriving at Chudingyi, there are less than two days to enter Luoyang City. That night, Han Jian learned from Mrs. Luo's secret news channels that many officials in the capital were imprisoned, although he did not get a detailed list of these officials, he knew that many of these people were important ministers of the court, including Gu Xin'er's father Gu Weipan.

The news of Gu Weipan's imprisonment really surprised Han Jian, Han Jian didn't know much about the specific situation, but he vaguely felt that it was related to the power struggle in Luoyang City. Gu Weipan himself has no party affiliation, and he doesn't associate with anyone on weekdays, and the only person who can be regarded as a political enemy with him in Luoyang City is the Beiwang party. After the battle of the Yellow River, the Northern King Party has been greatly injured, and even the Northern King himself has been reduced to a prisoner, Han Jian really can't think of what kind of law Gu Weipan can commit before he will be imprisoned.

Originally, Han Jian thought that since something big happened in Luoyang City, Luoyang would definitely be on guard, but judging from the news from all sides, the situation around Luoyang City was very calm, and even the city gate was not under martial law.

Han Jian did not know the situation in Luoyang City for the time being, in order to take all the precautions before entering Luoyang, Han Jian first sent Zhang Xing to lead a part of the people to secretly enter Luoyang City, and contacted Mrs. Luo's people in advance, waiting for an opportunity to find out the situation. The travel speed of Han Jian and his entourage was reduced from 60 miles a day to 40 miles a day, waiting for the news from Luoyang City to come back as they went.

Two days later, on the evening of the fourth day of October, the car was less than 60 miles away from Luoyang City. Because of the autumn rain blocking the road, the group still did not arrive at the Pingkou Station, which was fifty miles away from Luoyang City, before going on the shift at night. At this time, news came from the front, saying that Zhang Xing came back from Luoyang City with a car.

After confirming the identity of the visitor, Han Jian personally led someone to answer. He now wanted to know most about the situation in Luoyang City.

Because of the heavy rain, Han Fitness's clothes couldn't stop the rain at all, and his whole body was a little wet. Before arriving at the team, Zhang Xing and the guards escorted a carriage over, and in the darkness of the night, even the torches could not be lit, and Han Jian did not know the situation in front of him at all.

"Young boy!" Zhang Xing got off his horse and saluted.

"Get up!" Han Jian went directly to the side of the carriage to greet him, because Han Jian specially instructed Zhang Xing to take out Gu Song's family and Gu Xin'er's mother and daughter when he entered Luoyang City, so that even if something happened in Luoyang City, Han Jian could return to Jiangdu without worry.

Before arriving at the carriage, the people in the carriage had already come down, but Gu Xin'er was the only one. When Gu Xin'er saw Han Jian, she rushed forward and hugged Han Jian in spite of it, crying in the pouring rain.

"Okay, it's fine. Get on the carriage! ”

After all, the rain outside was a bit heavy, Han Jian directly picked up Gu Xin'er and put her in the carriage, while Han Jian got on the horse. The car continued to move forward, and in less than half an hour, it finally arrived at Pingkou Station, and the group could finally rest and sleep.

With the lights, Han Jian's heart was also a little settled. Han Jian helped Gu Xin'er into the post house, at this time, Han Cui's and Yang Li'er had just come in, and they probably also noticed that something big was happening in Luoyang City.

"Xin'er, don't be sad, you go back to your room to rest first. I'll be with you in a moment. Han Jian said with concern.

"Hmm." Gu Xin'er was a little soaking wet, and Han Jian asked someone to prepare dry clothes for her to change. He wanted to stay and discuss his next steps with Han Cui's and Yang Li'er first.

Zhang Xing not only brought back Yang Li'er, but also brought some news from the capital. The news in Luoyang City is summed up, that is, the empress said that she was sick and quit the dynasty and did not show up for more than a month, and at this time it was Yang Yu, the third prince, who was in charge of the government. And Yang Yu managed the government in the name of supervising the country, and as for Gu Weipan and a group of old ministers to be imprisoned, it was also created by Yang Yu.

"The intention of the king of the east is that someone in the capital wants to usurp power and rebel?" Yang Li'er listened to Han Jian's general explanation of the situation in Luoyang City, and looked at Han Jian with some confusion and asked.

"I don't know." Han Jian said, "Now Luoyang City is generally stable, as for whether it is a rebellion, no one can be sure." His Majesty will appoint a new crown prince, and some obstacles may be removed. ”

Yang Li'er didn't speak, and Han Cuishi said directly: "The day before yesterday, His Majesty sent our soldiers and horses from the Dongwang Mansion out of the capital, and Sanniang also returned to Jiangdu. If there is any change in the capital this time, Jian'er, you should return to Jiangdu earlier, and you should not be involved in the danger here. ”

"Sanniang, you say that, just let me be a deserter?" Han Jian said with a smile.

Han Cuishi glanced at Han Jian and said, "Still laughing." I'm serious with you. Luoyang City is not Jiangdu after all, what has happened here, how can you reverse it by your own strength? Listen to Sanniang, you go back to Jiangdu, and the matter here will be handled by Sanniang. Don't be as reckless as last time, the entire Jiangdu land is still waiting for you to govern. ”

Han Jian smiled, Han Cui's treated him too much as a child.

"Sanniang, this time I am an envoy on the order of the emperor, and I should go into the city to return to His Majesty no matter what. Even if there is anything rebellious in the capital, I dare not stand idly by. Han Jian said.

"You ......" Han Cuishi glared at Han Jian, his face a little angry.

Han Jian comforted him with kind words, and after promising Han Cui's to flee when he saw that the situation was not good, Han Cui's did not reluctantly let him leave to return to Jiangdu immediately.

"If nothing else, we will arrive in Luoyang tomorrow. I wonder what Ms. Yeung's arrangements are? Han Jian asked.

The reason why Han Jian asked this question was because Yang Li'er's mission this time was to escort Han Jian north, even if there was no sudden change in Luoyang City, Yang Li'er's task had been completed and she could go home. But Han Jian felt that Yang Li'er might not be able to leave, and he felt that Yang Li'er didn't seem to be so purposeless to come to Luoyang.

"Let's go into town together." Yang Li'er said coldly, didn't even say goodbye, and went directly out of the main gate of the post station to arrange for his subordinates to camp and sleep.

Han Jian also went upstairs directly to Gu Xin'er's room, at this time Gu Xin'er had already changed her clothes, and when she saw Han Jian coming in, although she was not as excited as before, she directly rushed forward and hugged Han Jian, but she also stepped forward and looked at Han Jian affectionately.

"It's okay, Xin'er. We will go to Luoyang tomorrow, and I will find a way to get Chief Gu out of prison!" ”

Han Jian helped Gu Xin'er sit on the edge of the bed, Gu Xin'er was in Han Jian's arms, and cried for a while, maybe she was tired from crying, and she fell asleep after a long time. Han Jian learned from Zhang Xing that Gu Weipan was imprisoned more than ten days ago, but the news was only announced a few days ago. Later, even Gu's mansion was raided, and Gu Xin'er fled to the annex of Dongwang's Mansion before being arrested by the government, but Gu Xin'er's mother Gu Song was arrested and imprisoned.

For a few days, Gu Xin'er washed her face with tears every day, and she didn't sleep for days.

Han Jian also felt that Gu Xin'er was indeed tired, so he hugged her and let her fall asleep in his arms. (To be continued......)
