On the way back to Luoyang after being detained, Wang Xu was actually doing well. Liu Yi, the middle-aged general with facial features, took good care of Wang Xu, anyway, it was delicious and delicious. Although the other Zhonglang with facial features did not communicate with Wang Xu much, they also gave enough respect. Zuo Feng, the only one who looked at Wang Xu extremely unpleasantly and resented in his heart, was already frightened again. Although as he gradually moved away from the army, his arrogant true colors slowly began to be revealed, but whenever Wang Xu stared at him expressionlessly, he didn't dare to say anything.

However, this journey was not long, although there was no fast horse, but in addition to the necessary rest, the continuous rush still allowed Wang Xu to see the huge city wall of Luoyang at noon on the fourth day.

Experiencing the style of this famous capital for the first time made Wang Xu sigh. It really deserves to be the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty! That might is more powerful than Puyang and Handan, and the difficulty of forcibly attacking Cheng Dù is at least five times higher than that of Guangzong.

If there are no other special circumstances, the strength of the siege must be at least twice as much as the strength of the defender, otherwise no one will dare to attack rashly, and this is still based on the premise that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides is equal!

Liu Yi, who was riding side by side with Wang Xu, saw him looking at Luoyang in the distance with a look of amazement, stopped moving, and couldn't help but smile: "Looking at General Wang's appearance, he shouldn't have been to Luoyang yet!" ”

"Huh! It's true, I haven't been studying hard at home when I'm young, so I haven't been able to see the style of Jingshi. Looking at it at this moment, it is really shocking! Saying that, Wang Xu shook his head, but he didn't talk about the grandeur of Luoyang, turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "Liu Zhonglang, I am fortunate to have your care along the way, Wang Xu is deeply ashamed!" I don't want you to be embarrassed, lock it up! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't help sighing, and shook his head helplessly: "Hey! That's offense. ”

Seeing this scene, Zuo Feng's courage also grew, and he suddenly screamed sarcastically: "Wang Xu, aren't you very majestic?" Hum! Now that you're in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I see how majestic you are, but you're just a prisoner under the stairs! ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but look deeply at this bullying eunuch. After a long time, he showed a faint smile: "Lord Zuo, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, feng shui in turns." No one can say what will happen in the future, it's better to be a man or leave a line, what do you think? ”

Zuo Feng was stunned when he heard this, as if it was the first time he heard such words, and he frowned and thought for a moment. But as soon as he looked up and saw Wang Xu's indifferent appearance, a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but hum: "It's better to wait for your life to survive before saying this kind of thing!" ”

Shaking his head, Wang Xu didn't bother to bother with this short-sighted little eunuch anymore, and seeing that his hands were already chained, he didn't say more, even if he took the lead in walking towards Luoyang.

It didn't take long for Wang Xu to be "escorted" into this mysterious ancient capital. With Liu Yi in front of him to "open the way", he walked all the way through the long passage of the city gate through the middle of the flow of people. And at the first glance of entering the city, there is a prosperous atmosphere.

Although this is only the urn city, there are already many small stalls and vendors, merchants and pedestrians shuttling back and forth, and it is very lively. And the military camps on both sides of the urn city are also waving flags, and the roars of soldier training come and go!

With a historical perspective, Wang Xu observed the style of Luoyang all the way, and he couldn't tell what kind of feelings it was in his heart. However, as he gradually walked into the outer city, he was even more shocked, and it was hard to imagine that this primitive prosperity could also reach this kind of Cheng dù. On the flat and wide bluestone avenue, people come and go, and the river is endless. The shops on both sides are busy selling their goods......

It's a pity that Wang Xu couldn't continue to observe leisurely. As more and more people spotted their group, curious people turned their gazes. It didn't take long for Wang Xu to seem to become the most high-profile celebrity pet in the zoo, and everyone stared at him intently and talked about it.

Although Wang Xu is very open, anyone who encounters this situation is also very unhappy, especially since he still has iron chains on his hands. However, the eunuch Zuo Feng seemed to be extremely proud, sitting on a tall horse and constantly scanning the people around him, feeling as if he was on patrol. But in fact, if he could hear the whispers of the people, he would probably vomit blood in anger.

"Huh! Brother Li, who is this person? It turned out to be escorted by the middle men of the facial features? That's the emperor's personal guard! ”

"Hey! I don't know, if you look at the proud appearance of the dog eunuch, it must be which loyal minister was framed! ”

"No, it won't! Look at the person who was arrested, he shouldn't be very old! Is it after the loyal ministers? ”

"You don't know that! Let me tell you, a few days ago, the city had already published an example, and it was General Wang who was detained. ”

"Ahh Isn't General Wang the young hero who pacified the Yellow Turban? How so? ”

"Hey! Framed, now in this world, tsk! ”

"This group of dog eunuchs ,......"

Of course, Wang Xu couldn't hear the whispers around him, but when he saw that the people around him were staring at Zuo Feng, their mouths kept moving, and he vaguely knew that Zuo Feng was likely to be "greeted" by them. He smiled in his heart, didn't think about it anymore, and slowly followed Liu Yi's horse to the inner city.

But not long after entering the inner city, Liu Yi, who was going to take Wang Xu into the palace, suddenly received a new order, asking him to take Wang Xu directly to Yanwei Temple and lock him up. Moreover, the person who delivered the order then whispered a few more words in his ear.

As soon as he heard that Wang Xu was directly sent to prison, Zuo Feng was already overjoyed, glanced at Wang Xu fiercely, and said in a "bah" voice: "Wang Xu, look at how majestic you are this time!" See how long you can live! Hum! After speaking, his chest straightened, and he proudly took the lead in running to the palace.

Glancing at Zuo Feng who was gradually moving away, Liu Yi also looked at Wang Xu helplessly: "General Wang, you also heard it, this is His Majesty's order, and I can't help it." Ay! ”

Wang Xu's face was also a little cloudy at the moment, and he was a little worried in his heart: I don't know anything about the situation now, and I haven't been able to meet the emperor, this situation is really a bit bad. How did those ministers do it? But don't go on a business trip, it's a life-threatening matter!

Just when he hesitated, Liu Yi quietly gave him a look, and then held his hand. Wang Xu was still very puzzled, but then he felt a small note in his palm, and immediately understood, and after holding the note in his palm, he shook his head casually: "It's okay, I believe that Your Majesty will give me justice sooner or later!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi smiled, didn't say more, and immediately rushed to Yanwei Temple with Wang Xu......

Dizzy, he walked around the inner city of Luoyang for a long time, and finally arrived at Yanwei Temple, but he didn't get a chance to visit, so Wang Xu was handed over to the Luoyang Imperial Prison Order. The man didn't say much to Wang Xu, and after looking at it, he was directly locked in the cell.

However, the reason why Wang Xu was able to be locked up with peace of mind was because he saw that his cell was obviously a "single-door courtyard", and it was much cleaner than the other cells he saw on the road, and the conditions were slightly better, so he should have been taken care of. And the strange Luoyang prison edict gave him a note quietly when he left.

When the jailers all left, Wang Xu immediately couldn't wait to open Liu Yi's note and read it carefully. "Wang Xu, don't panic, don't worry about your life! But the eunuch is powerful, and I hope you can bear it for the time being, and remember not to talk to anyone about anything. ”

After reading this note that was not signed, Wang Xu's hanging heart finally let go a little. sighed, and opened the note of the Luoyang Prison Order just now: General Wang, I have arranged the matter, you can rest in peace, if there is any situation outside, I will contact you with a note!

After reading these two notes, Wang Xu smiled bitterly, slowly tore them into pieces, and quietly started to stand alone. Anyway, he can't do the things now, he can only wait for the situation outside, anyway, he can't die, and if he takes revenge, there will be a chance in the future!

However, his life in this prison is really not bad, he has good food and wine every day, and he can take a shower and change his clothes every other day. But no one wants to stay in prison, no matter how good it is, it is still a cage after all.

Therefore, for Wang Xu, the most anxious thing is the situation outside. And the Luoyang Prison Edict, whose name is still unknown, has not broken its promise, and will send him some information every few days. But as Wang Xu initially expected, although the shape is not bad, it is not much better, and I really don't know how long this prison will last.

And through the Luoyang edict, Wang Xu also knew the whole story of his matter, and he also had a strong hatred for that group of eunuchs! Because, Emperor Ling originally didn't care, and once publicly stated in the court that although he was slightly dissatisfied with this matter, considering the contribution of the Wang family and his merits, the Yellow Turban was about to be pacified, so he would not be investigated.

But the dead eunuch Zhang Rang made a ruthless attempt to kill him, framed him in every possible way, and entered a lot of slander, and was almost killed. Fortunately, there are dozens of ministers led by the current three dukes, Taiwei Deng Sheng, Sikong Zhang Wen, and Situ Yuan Kui, which made Emperor Ling hesitate.

But Zhang Rang still didn't give up, and said that he moved Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs in power to help. However, as soon as they joined forces to participate in Wang Xu, this matter died completely. Because the evidence of some eunuchs collaborating with the enemy reached Emperor Ling at this time, which complicated things.

Emperor Ling was even more furious on the spot, and killed the two masterminds of Feng Yu and Xu Feng on the same day, and ordered a strict investigation of the rest of the collaborators. When those eunuchs saw the incident, where did they dare to say more, and they trembled and tried to protect themselves.

It stands to reason that Wang Xu's matter should have been settled like this, but unfortunately, under the anger of the mediocre Spirit Emperor, even the small matter of taking Wang Xu became a big thing, so he innocently suffered from the pond fish and was escorted back to Luoyang to be locked up, and he didn't even meet the emperor. He was not convicted of killing him, nor was he allowed to let him go, in short, he was stripped of his official title, and he no longer asked about this matter, and no one was allowed to mention it.

Therefore, Wang Xu, who has been in prison for more than three months, has no idea where he is going except for the situation before he was imprisoned. There is a lot of news on the battlefield outside, what Huangfu Song broke Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao fought in Xiaquyang, Zhu Jun broke the yellow scarf in Jingzhou, and so on. Except for the sudden rebellion in the northwest, the other Wang Xu really had no interest at all, but those ministers outside were happy to do it and always sent these things in. They all regarded Wang Xu as the kind of hardcore loyal minister who was dedicated to the country, and in the end, all the notes received by Wang Xu had become war reports!

This also made Wang Xu cry and laugh, so he could only lie alone on the prison bed and sigh: Hey! Loyal ministers and good generals are really not something that ordinary people can be, and they are still comfortable fighting the world......
