"Why not the truth. The slave family likes the second son very much, but they also know that the second son is a person who does great things. If your wife is definitely noble, and I am just the daughter of a broken family, if it weren't for the second son to take it in, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to eat enough now, then what is there to complain about? After saying that, the slave family knows that the second son has me in his heart, and it is enough. ”

Seeing Bai Tong say such a thing fluently, it was completely true feelings, without the slightest pretentiousness, Zhang Chao was moved in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think like YY, ancient men were really cool, and when he said in front of another woman who liked to marry someone else, he would be said to be the right choice, is this something that the hell should not be thought about in modern society?

Of course, Zhang Chao also fell in love with Bai Tong even more.

"Okay, Tong'er, don't worry, after I marry Cai Yan, I will marry you immediately, you think it's good." Zhang Chao stared at Bai Tong and asked.

"It's all up to the second son." When he said this, Bai Tong's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and the red on his face had risen to the base of his neck.

"Haha, good, good." Knowing that this was Bai Tong's promise, Zhang Chao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After Bai Tong's matter was settled, Zhang Chao began to plan to go to the capital.

According to the old rules, Guo Jia is naturally left to guard the camp, and the training of those people in the compound cannot be sloppy, once things change, someone also needs to guard how to do it, and these are naturally not Guo Fengxiao as the first choice.

Guo Jia stayed behind, and Zhao Yun naturally wanted to follow Zhang Chao. This journey cannot be said to be peaceful, with such a member of the general by his side, there is more security in safety.

In addition, there are eight brocade guards who are personally entourage. On the surface, it seems that there are only these ten people and ten horses. In fact, in the dark, in addition to the person with the eye of the sky who is responsible for the intelligence all the way, there are three hundred light horsemen who follow in the dark. But if there is an accident, they can quickly rush to Zhang Chao's side to protect him.

With these arrangements, Zhang Chao was ready to go to the capital. He was prepared in advance, and he had already extended the business of the hero drunk to Luoyang, and this time he swore an oath. With sufficient money prepared in advance, at the beginning of 185, Zhang Chao left Chenliu County with Zhao Yun and nine other retinues.

On the city gate, the Taishou Zhang Miao, the military advisor Guo Jia, the maid Bai Tong and others watched until they couldn't see him, and they were reluctant to leave.

After leaving Chen Liucheng, Zhang Chao, Zhao Yun and others rushed all the way. What was supposed to be a five-day trip was completed in three days.

When he saw the tall and solemn Luoyang City from afar, Zhang Chao couldn't help but feel a kind of pride in his heart, that is, he would one day dominate here, become the real master here, become the real master of the world, and become a famous monarch in ancient times.

Luoyang City, the capital of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is also one of the most populous cities, according to official data, there are millions of people. This was a large percentage for a country with a population of only 60 million at the time.

Luoyang City was also the political, economic and cultural center of the Eastern Han Dynasty. There is a dense population here, and naturally there are a large number of talents, and of course, it is also a place where military power is concentrated.

Looking at the crowd of people who were constantly wandering outside the East City Gate, Zhang Chao began to fantasize in his heart, is this time able to recruit a few talents in addition to completing the plan? In that case, it would be really nice.

Zhang Chao was stunned on the horse, and Emperor Zhao Yunyi asked, "Lord, can we enter the city?" ”

"Well, yes, you can. By the way, Zilong, if there are outsiders, it's better for you to call me the second son. Zhang Chao didn't want to expose his ambitions so early, and now only Guo Jia really knew his thoughts, Zhao Yun just followed the trend and couldn't understand his true thoughts.

Generally speaking, there are three interpretations of the so-called lord.

The first is the title given to the monarch by his subordinates.

The second is the honorific title given by the servant to his master.

The third is the honorific title given to the hostess by the guests.

Obviously, the effect that Zhang Chao wants naturally belongs to the first type. That means that he indirectly wants to become a king, and if this is heard by others, it is not a joke. At least until the warlord civil war was fully opened, he didn't want anyone else to know about it.

"Yes, Second Son." Zhao Yun is also smart, and he only reminded him once.

"Okay, let's go into town." Zhang Chao looked at the tall East City Gate with a smile on his face.

Ten horses and ten horsemen entered the city like this. It's just that according to convention, Zhang Chao, who doesn't have an official body, just thinks of himself as an ordinary swordsman, and he is leading a horse into the city.

As soon as you enter the city, the bustling crowd constantly appears in sight. Zhang Chao, who came to Luoyang for the first time, was also a little confused, he didn't even know where to go. Fortunately, there were Tianyan personnel in front of them, just follow them, and you can get to the inn prepared in advance.

Regarding the place where Zhang Chao lived, Bai Tong and Lu Fei discussed and discussed, studied and studied, and finally settled on a place called Yuewei.

One of the most important reasons for choosing this place is that it is a very busy crossroads, and if something happens, there are several retreat options. This is also the virtue that the two daughters have after Zhang Chao's teaching for many days, that is one more way out, and sometimes one more way to live.

After choosing this place, Bai Tong bought it for a lot of money, and asked Lu Fei to move Tianyan's branch in Luoyang City here. In this way, the people in the entire inn are actually Zhang Chao's subordinates, and there are no less than fifty Zhang Jiajun who secretly protects him. In addition to some well-trained Sky Eye personnel in the vicinity, the number of available people has reached nearly eighty, and with these, it is enough to deal with some small-scale emergencies.

After Zhang Chao and Zhao Yun came to Yuelaiju, there were already people waiting here, and after settling the horses first, this led the master to the best Tianzi room.

The rooms are very spacious and facing the street, with a large window to ensure an adequate view. The bedroom is on the other side, which is extremely quiet and can ensure the quality of sleep.

"It's nice here." After walking around the room, Zhang Chao said with satisfaction.

Wang De, the person in charge who was praised and was also the person in charge of Tianyan in Luoyang, suddenly flashed with excitement in his eyes.

From the outside, Wang De is a very loyal and honest person, and he looks like he is in his thirties, and he is at the time of maturity and stability.

When Tianyan was first established, it was basically all women, and at the same time, in order not to attract attention, everyone was not given the surname Zhang like Zhang Jiajun, but the surnames were varied, in order to prevent being recognized in the future. And this Wang De was indeed personally summoned by Lu Fei more than a month ago.

That was when Tianyan began to expand after receiving financial support, Lu Fei learned from Zhang Chao's example and personally went to the displaced people outside the city to find talents, which saw Wang De, who was not good-looking, thrown in the crowd, and would be quickly forgotten after you took a look.

This kind of physiognomy is exactly the most suitable for intelligence work. If a person is particularly outstanding in appearance, it often means that he is not suitable for this business, after all, as soon as you appear, everyone will pay attention to you, which will increase the difficulty of many things.

After passing the appearance level, Lu Fei chatted with Wang De in person, and only then did he know that this person used to be a swordsman and often carried out activities in the Luoyang area. Later, due to an accident, he offended Wang Yue, the most famous swordsman today, and his right arm was injured, and he was forced out of Luoyang.

He was a swordsman and proved to be extraordinary. He also operates in Luoyang all the year round and understands the situation there. Lu Fei asked Hua Tuo to treat his injuries, and after some training, he gave enough capital to come to Luoyang and buy this Yuelai Residence.

Wang De rarely sees Zhang Chao, but he does know that this is the real master. After receiving the praise, he hurriedly replied: "Thank you for the praise of the second son." ”

"Hehe, don't be so polite, your name is Wang De, right, I heard Lu Fei say that you once offended the sword king Wang Yue? It doesn't matter, don't be afraid, I will settle the matter of Wang Yue for you, from now on you will be my person, and no one can bully you. Zhang Chao looked at Wang De and said with a smile.

seems to be an ordinary word, but it is indeed so domineering when he says it, so that after Wang De listens to it, it is not only a burst of anger. "Thank you again for the second son."

"Well, okay, I've been working hard for you these days, if there is anything urgent, you can report it to me at any time, and now it's okay, you can go down first." Zhang Chao waved his hand, as a leader, it is necessary to properly maintain the relationship with his subordinates, and leave a certain sense of distance and mystery. He doesn't need everyone to know himself, and even wants to be a king, so he can't let people know your true thoughts, and he has to be moody and invisible, so that it can have a real deterrent effect.

Wang De retreated with a grateful look, Zhang Chao watched the door being closed, and then looked at Zhao Yundao, who was standing with a sword on the side: "How is it?" Has Wang Yue heard of it? Do you want to have a fight? ”

As soon as he heard Wang Yue's name, Zhao Yun's eyes really lit up a little, and then he said, "If you have the opportunity, you are willing to learn." ”

"Haha, okay, Zilong is really guts. It's just that this matter is not in a hurry, I heard that he is not in Luoyang now, and when he comes back, maybe this matter will have to be settled by you. Zhang Chao said confidently. He believed in Zhao Yun's ability, if he couldn't even solve it with a swordsman, then there would be no Naruo Da Fame in history.

The place where Zhao Yun lives is next door to Zhang Chao. There is nothing to do with him here, so he will go back to the bedroom to familiarize himself with the situation. Leaving Zhang Chao standing alone in front of the window, watching the people coming and going on the street below, he went through his plan in his mind again.
