22 Luoyang
Passing through Zheng County, I took all my men with me, and then followed Zhao Yuyang into Luoyang.
The current Luoyang, Tokyo is Zhao Yuyang's forbidden place. When Zhao Yuyang, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, announced his surrender, a civil war broke out among the forbidden troops stationed in Luoyang, and finally the troops loyal to Zhao Yuyang won, so Luoyang was his.
Luoyang is still so beautiful, and the city walls have been repaired. After so many years of devastation, its main body has not been damaged at all. The tanks actually patrolled directly on the city walls, and the black hole of the cannon was pointed at the outside and inside. Since the forbidden army defended Luoyang, it is even more impossible for Luoyang to be breached.
Hundreds of thousands of brocade guards also happily entered Luoyang. Even though we went inside, Luoyang didn't seem very crowded, because it was already crowded.
When I first came to Luoyang seven years ago, people said it had a population of 10 million! At that time, I sighed: 10 million! Ten million people crammed into one city!
But now, after seven years of war, the Central Plains is miserable, only Luoyang is safe, so there are at least 20 million people in Luoyang! These 20 million are still people who pay population taxes, and who knows how many more people evade taxes?
I said to Zhao Yuyang: "The Dongfang family's government army has also arrived, and the Jinyi guard has also arrived. Aren't you afraid that they will occupy Luoyang? β
Zhao Yuyang pouted: "That's because I also came with 10,000 forbidden troops." When I go, they have to go for me. Besides, I occupy all the important military land, and the Luoyang army in the city is also my people, I have been operating for a few years, what are I afraid of. β

I entered the city in an armored car.
This is my third time in Luoyang.
The first time was in Daming, and at that time I had a good body and a cowardly spirit.
The second time was to inspect Luoyang with the Han Emperor Liu Xingchao, when he sent paratroopers from the forbidden army to occupy Luoyang.
This is the third time, in the Gongzhi Dynasty, I finally came to Luoyang like a big man - although Luoyang is Zhao Yuyang's, I am at the same level as him.
Lu Chengzhi's eldest brother, Luoyang County Magistrate Lu Chengjing, also greeted us.
This guy has been the magistrate of Luoyang County for almost 20 years, and he is really an official. The county magistrate of Luoyang sounds good, but he is actually a miscellaneous person. When the world was peaceful, there were no big officials in Luoyang, and he could still be powerful in Luoyang City; When Chang'an sent people to Luoyang, any Beijing official in the Chang'an court was several levels higher than him, the county magistrate!
Lu Chengzhi and his brother hugged each other excitedly, unwilling to part for a long time.
I'm also very touched in my heart.
So Luoyang held various feasts, which was naturally not a problem.

I'm strolling around Luoyang.
I found that Luoyang was in a paradox, on the one hand, it was very free, and on the other hand, it was very nervous in order to suppress this freedom.
For example, Luoyang has too many people, and the military strength is obviously insufficient, so a curfew and various orders were announced, and the Luoyang army was searching everywhere, but people were obviously not willing to comply. According to the "Law of Co-governance", every shop in Luoyang must be from the imperial court, and the number of things sold every day is calculated, and now, every store is private!
The Luoyang government can't close it if it wants to, because the Chang'an court can't control it, and it can't manage it itself, and it has to buy things by itself. You shut down all these shops, where will your taxes come from? What do you eat?
I was wandering around.
Luoyang is even more prosperous, much more prosperous than seven years ago. Although the world is in turmoil, although the Central Plains is in turmoil, Luoyang is a blessing in disguise.
I listened to a little song in Luoyang's largest theater "Central Plains Star".
The actor was singing "The Eighty-one Filial Piety of the King James Order", and after singing a filial piety, people applauded loudly and threw a few copper dollars onto the stage.
I also threw a handful of silver dollars up.
The actor nodded excitedly.
I smirked too.
It's a good feeling, and I almost want it to last forever.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Murder!" Kill! β
I got nervous.
And all of them had a favorite expression.
People rushed out to watch and beheaded in the streetsβit turned out that they were going to kill someone.
Well, to be precise, it's the Demon Slaying Cult.
Crowds of people, red flags.
In the middle are dozens of richly dressed condemned prisoners, tied up like rice dumplings, with their charges inserted in the reserve - "Death Demon Sect", "Women's Alliance Demon Sect", "Commercial Demon Sect", "Maitreya Demon Sect......
People shouted, "Demon Slayer Sect! What is not good, just be a demon cult! This is a big mistake! β
One by one, the executioners cut off their heads.
One by one, the heads burst out like balls.
People took out steamed buns from their crotches and dipped them in the blood that spurted out of them.
Human blood is a panacea, and although the "King James Book of Co-healing Medicine" has not yet been published, it must be the same as countless previous "Medical Books".
People watched it and went back to the play.
At this time, the scene on the stage was replaced by "The Story of the Imperial Court's Suppression of Bandits", which tells how the imperial court exterminated various demon cults and even cults.
In order to show the greatness of the imperial court, it is necessary to describe the opponents of the imperial court, the demon cultists, as extremely powerful.
At this point, this crew performed especially perfectly. Those cults are so powerful, they can take things from the air, they can fly with their swords, and they can take people's hearts!
Everyone watched with relish: how the demon cultists wiped out the imperial army bit by bit.

Suddenly, a voice came: "Dongfang Ju, you are very interested." β
Damn it! It scared my neck so much that I almost shrank in!
Because this is the voice of the "Faceling", that is, the "nameless" in the mouth of Shakya Invincible.
I turned my head, and a bald old man with an erhu looked at me happily.
A dozen of my Praetorian men were nearby, but they were all looking at the stage with joy.
I slowly reached for the pistol in my waist.
Nameless looked at me with a playful look.
It is clear that this is useless. He wants to kill me, I still have time to draw a gun?
I stammered, "What do you want to do?" β
Nameless: "Bring your army back, and don't do anything bad to me." β
At this time, the actors were about to return to the stage to perform, and people continued to throw copper dollars upwards, and the theater was in chaos, crowded everywhere, and disappeared after a nameless shake.
I hurriedly returned to the Luoyang garrison with my men.
Damn it! The most hated thing in my life is threats! I've always eaten soft rather than hard!
From then on, there would be more than a dozen forbidden soldiers armed with submachine guns around me at any time, loaded at any time, pulling the safety bolt at any time.
I have established a strict meeting system, and if you want to see me, everyone must take off their clothes and check them, pull their hair vigorously, and pinch their faces vigorously.
People in Luoyang have legends: There is a royal messenger from the Chang'an court, who is a perverted eunuch, both men and women.
I was so angry that I was going to die, but for the sake of safety, I endured!

The nameless god is haunted, it's terrifying.
But I think he's just a human being.
There's no way he's going to waste all his time spying on me. He made a "ghostly" appearance just to make me think that he was "out of nowhere", just to make me afraid. That's all.
So, I'm not afraid of you! What if you are unknown and the number one in the world? I don't even need to use tanks, I can beat you into a sieve with a submachine gun. When you sent ten masters to the ground, you weren't killed by the forbidden army in a second!
I gave an order to the Chang'an Forbidden Army to send me a batch of bullet grenades, because the Shaolin Battle was consumed too quickly. However, Zhao Yuyang stopped it.
I was furious: "You dare to spy on me? How do you know my order to Chang'an? β
Zhao Yuyang: "Luoyang is my Luoyang, what do I not know?" β
Me: "I'm running out of bullets, I want to be transferred from Chang'an, it's none of your business, what are you doing with this?" β
Zhao Yuyang: "Because the arsenal in Luoyang can produce it." β
I was shocked: "You are a rebellion!" Do you dare to build an arsenal privately? Aren't you afraid of money? β
Zhao Yuyang: "Just let him not know?" β
Me: "You're so kind to give me bullets for nothing?" β
He laughed: "We had a little difficulty. Bullets are always exploding, and explosives and poison gas are not pure. I think you're an expert in this area, so I'm going to ask you to come out. β
Me: "Hey! After doing so much for a long time, it turned out to be a transaction, and I thought you were kind. β
Zhao Yuyang: "I'm good to you!" You search my Luoyang every day, and people have already annoyed you. People say, why is this dead eunuch so perverted, and everyone touches it. They also asked me to drive you out of Luoyang. β
Me: "I searched because ......"
He interrupted me with a wave of his hand: "Alright. I understand that everyone has a special hobby, and there is nothing remarkable. I'm most annoyed by those sanctimonious guys! Good bye. β
He walked away laughing, winking at me as he went.
Now I'm at a loss for words!
