On the way to escape, Wei Ba is the protagonist, and Jin Dongliu is not even a follower, only obeying orders. When he arrived in Chang'an, Jin Dongliu was a general of the Wei army, and he was treated with great favor and was accompanied to see Xiahou Mao. Wei Ba's status plummeted, and he didn't even have a place to sit, so he could only huddle together with Dunwu, squatting by the city gate, boringly looking at the crowd coming and going.

Boredom is just a façade, being in danger, his life may be in danger at any time, Wei Ba is an alert rabbit, and he has to pretend to be very calm, and only he knows the taste best. Squatting on the side of the road like a blind stream, seemingly careless, in fact, he was vigilantly paying attention to all the movements around him, and at the same time paying attention to the situation in Chang'an.

Ma Jian once said to him that an important reason why Zhuge Liang did not want to take Chang'an was that Chang'an had decayed, the population was sparse, there were not enough people to cultivate, and he could not support the army, and he would encounter great difficulties in the next protracted war. Wei Ba didn't believe it at first, but he squatted at the gate of the city and his legs were numb, and he didn't see a few people entering and leaving the city, which was a world of difference from the Chang'an City he imagined.

The capital of the Han Dynasty is so barren? More than 200 years ago, more than 300 years later, it was the premier Xiongcheng in the whole Shijie, and now...... If you don't look at those dilapidated but still majestic city walls, who would have thought that this is Chang'an?

War, indeed, is the strongest means of destroying civilization.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! A soldier knocked Wei Ba with a bright spearhead, and shouted angrily: "Stand on the side, don't get in the way." ”

Wei Ba looked at the empty road, inexplicable. Although Chang'an City has been destroyed, the remnants of the ruins are still staggering, just as the burned Old Summer Palace still can't hide the wealth it once had, the roads in Chang'an City are very wide, comparable to any avenue in Wei Ba's impression. The main road at the gate of the city was divided into three roads. There are three city gates, and each road can accommodate four cars in parallel. What's more, there is no one at all now, and he is squatting on the side of the road again. Whose path can it stand in the way?

Before he could come back to his senses, Dunwu had already dragged him back with a smiling face. The speed at which he changed his face surprised Wei Ba, he never thought that Dunwu, who had always been cool with a cold face, could smile so sweetly. is so flattering, where is it like a cold-blooded killer with unique skills, he can simply be a lady's little white face.

Sure enough, it's the elite of the scouts.

Wei Ba stood against the wall. In the distance, I saw a procession slowly walking towards the city wall. When he got closer, Wei Ba found that there were two heavily armed cavalrymen in front of him, holding the reins in one hand and a halberd in the other, and the shining halberd was also tied with a colorful ribbon, obviously this halberd was not just a killing weapon. It is also a ritual that symbolizes status. They were followed by two columns of foot soldiers, a column of ten men, all wearing the same standard standard armor and red jackets as the guards at the gate, but the guards were too shabby. It looks like it's called Hanako, but these people are bright and energetic.

In the center of the procession was a wide carriage. The carriage was painted in black and shiny, with dark red stripes of twigs. The wheels are painted vermilion, and the green curtains are hung on all sides, so that the people inside are not visible. Next to the carriage were four young and beautiful maids, holding spittles and other cleaning supplies in their hands, and their handsome faces were not smiling, and their eyes were not squinting.

Behind the carriage, followed by a long line of retinues, Wei Ba couldn't count them for a while, but these were enough to surprise him. Only the two knights who were leading at the front were enough to show that the identity of the owner of the car was extraordinary, and with Wei Ba's superficial knowledge of etiquette, he could roughly guess that the person sitting in the car was at least 2,000 stones, and it was 2,000 stones with considerable real power.

"Who?" Wei Ba turned his face sideways and asked Dun Wudao in a whisper.

"Don't talk, keep your head down." Atsumu reminded, with some nervousness in his voice.

Only then did Wei Ba realize that he was joking with his life. In these years, there is a strict hierarchy, and it is an unforgivable sin to look directly at this carriage in his current status. He hurriedly lowered his head, and at the moment when he lowered his head, he saw that the curtain on the carriage had been pulled open a crack, revealing half of his face.

Just half a face is enough to make a person stunning.

White and translucent skin, slender eyebrows like willow leaves, white and slender fingers, nails without Zhu Kou, but shining as soft as jade-like youthful luster. The corner of the red lips that flashed behind the curtain was delicate and natural, and there was no trace of painted vermilion.

"Wow, it's a natural beauty." Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and secretly said in his heart: "If that half of the face is not the same as Peng Xiaoyu's girl, this is the perfect version of Peng Xiaoyu." ”

Just when Wei Ba was surprised, the woman also found Wei Ba standing out from the crowd with her head bowed, her eyes flashed, and she quickly lowered the curtain. Wei Ba also woke up, hurriedly lowered his head, pretended to be obedient, and quietly looked around, and found that no one noticed him, so he put his hands together and secretly rejoiced.

He didn't see it, the curtain was opened again, and a pair of pretty eyes with a little doubt were behind the curtain, and his every move was clearly visible. Liu Ye's eyebrows frowned slightly, his black and white eyes turned around, and his long eyelashes blinked twice.

"Yuanrong, what's wrong?" Princess Qinghe, who was sitting next to the girl, saw that the girl was distracted, and asked puzzled.

The girl smiled faintly: "It's nothing, seeing Chang'an so decaying, I'm so disappointed." ”

Princess Qinghe glanced at him and said with a smile: "There are ups and downs, no one can escape, what is there to be disappointed about." ”

The girl snorted, thoughtful: "Yes, the city is like this, how can people be worthy." The cycle of rise and fall, who can hide from it? ”

Princess Qinghe frowned, stretched out her hand and pressed on the girl's soft wattle, and persuaded: "Yuanrong, you are young, how can you have such an idea?" Although your father died young, your brother is so talented that it won't take him a few years to revive the family business, so why worry. Besides, although the Xiahou family is not surnamed Cao, since Emperor Taizu Gao, he has never treated your Xiahou family as an outsider, and only one day when the Great Wei is founded, the Xiahou family will not be bullied. ”

The girl smiled faintly: "This is natural, it's me who is too careful." ”

"Well, you have a mind, and I know it. Alas, the three years of your father's funeral are not over, and the hussar general has lost the battle again, and I think your family affairs will have to be delayed for a while, but it will not be long. As soon as your father's mourning period is over, I will go and say to Bixia that you will be married. ”

The girl's face flew red, and she turned around: "Princess, I have a father who is mourned, how can I be a person who wants to marry?" I'm ......."

Princess Qinghe smiled, patted the girl's hand and smiled: "Okay, okay, I know that our talented girl is worried about the affairs of the world, not about her own relatives." It's not like your uncle, who doesn't make it, who knows what double cultivation techniques to practice all day long, saying that he wants to become an immortal and attain the Tao, not coveting beauty. Hum! ”

Princess Qinghe originally smiled happily, but when she mentioned her husband Xiahou Mao, that little happiness immediately disappeared without a trace, a well-maintained pink face was murderous, three wrinkles were added to her forehead, and the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth were also a little deeper because her lips were pursed too tightly.

……

Xiahou Mao, the general of Anxi, who was lying on the couch and talking to Jin Dongliu listlessly, suddenly shook his head and sat up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face. Jin Dongliu was startled, quickly closed his mouth, and looked at Xiahou Mao nervously. Xiahou Mao waved his hand, indicating that it had nothing to do with Jin Dongliu. He stood up, put one hand behind his back, rubbed his temples with the other, walked two steps back and forth, suddenly remembered something, hurried to the door in two steps, and said to the guard standing outside the door, "Where is the princess's car?" ”

The guard bowed down and replied, "Someone just said that they have arrived outside the city, and they are estimated that they will be there soon." ”

Xiahou Mao's face was bitter, and he said to Jin Dongliu a little impatiently: "Since this is the case, then you will stay in Chang'an for two days first, and I will go to Wancheng to ask, if it is true, I will send you back." ”

said, without waiting for Jin Dongliu to agree, he hurriedly put on his shoes and left. Jin Dongliu looked at Xiahou Mao's somewhat flustered back, knowing that he was probably worried about what his wife Qinghe was going to do, so he didn't say much, and followed a small official outside. Xiahou Mao didn't have the heart to pay attention to Jin Dongliu now, but those little officials knew that Jin Dongliu should be the general of the Wei army, so they didn't dare to slack off, and led him to the post house to settle down. Jin Dongliu immediately entrusted the little official to go to the city gate and call Wei Ba and Dunwu over. During the time he left Chang'an, he could also take care of Wei Ba for a while longer.

Wei Ba followed the little official and came to the post house, just in time to see the luxurious carriage parked at the main gate of the Governor's Mansion, and then he knew that the carriage should be Xiahou Mao's family, and the beautiful girl who glanced at it may be Xiahou Mao's daughter.

He naturally glanced at the carriage and saw a middle-aged man hurrying out of the door, although he couldn't see the expression on his face or hear him speak, but from his exaggerated body language, it could be seen that he was a little nervous.

Who is this, who can make Xiahou Mao so nervous, isn't it his daughter?

Without waiting for Wei Ba to understand, the little official snorted impatiently, and while driving him inside, he said, "Come in!" This place is adjacent to the Governor's Palace, and the nobles come and go frequently, so you have to take care of your eyes and mouth, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't say what you shouldn't say, stay in the hall in peace, and don't make trouble. Something happened, but no one could save you. ”

"Alas, alas!" Wei Ba replied in a low voice, his face full of flattering smiles. There was a gate just now, and he was almost stabbed to death with a spear because of a glance at the convoy. With this painful lesson, he now has a full understanding of his situation.
