Chapter 225: On the Edge of the Yellow River
I don't know how long the carriage has been bumpy, Yuyi and Tang Erren woke up from the car one after another, gently opened the curtains, and found that it was already daytime outside, and the two set off overnight, Tang Zhou asked the coachman, in fact, the carriage left Julu City only about a hundred miles.
Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is in the southwest of Julu City, and then west is Chang'an, Yuyi feels that the closer to the capital Luoyang, the better the official road will be repaired, before it was still a muddy road, there are many small stones on the road, so that the carriage is bumpy, after entering the territory, there is no such feeling; Then there is the business situation on the road, some dart teams are endless, almost every once in a while you can hear someone greeting the coachman, the most powerful is the situation of refugees, Yuyi feels that after passing a border, there are no refugees found, I think it is the politician in order to create a false impression, so that the emperor can play more comfortably, these things are suppressed.
Coming out of Julu City, Yu Yi has been thinking about Yin Tang Zhou, their carriage came out overnight, and the speed of walking is also very fast, it can be seen that Zhang Jiao is very anxious about this matter, and let Tang Zhou go in person instead of sending a letter, it can be seen that Zhang Jiao is also afraid of the East Window incident.
"Brother Tang, I don't know if you've been to Luoyang?"
Yuyi asked Tang Zhou, who was also observing outside the window.
Tang Zhou lost his mind, and after a while, he recovered and realized that Yu Yi was shouting to himself, his face showed a little apology, and said: "I won't tell you anything, I have been poor since I was a child, I helped at home, and I have never gone far away, and the first time I saw this glorious scenery, I was a little out of shape." ”
"Brother Tang, what are you talking about, with your prestige in Julu City, you are already above a thousand people, and Julu City will be so rich sooner or later."
Yuyi patted Tang Zhou's shoulder and encouraged him.
"Xiao Huang, where have we been?"
Tang Zhou opened the curtain in front of the door and asked the coachman outside.
"Hehe, we have passed Yecheng and entered the territory of Hanoi, and then there is the Tiger Prison, and the carriage will stop at the edge of the Yellow River, so we have to cross the river by boat."
Xiao Huang truthfully reported the journey.
Yuyi had no concept of ancient geography, and suddenly heard the coachman say that he wanted to cross the river, and he was a little puzzled, so he asked, "What river is it crossing?" ”
Xiao Huang smiled and said, "This river is the Yellow River!" ”
Yuyi suddenly felt very excited, as a person who has been staying at home for a long time, he has never seen the Yellow River when he is so old, this time it is also a trip, but the means of transportation are a little worse.
"What, what's the problem?"
Tang Zhou saw that Yuyi seemed to have doubts, so he immediately called to stop the carriage.
"Hey, Brother Tang misunderstood, he lived in the mountains for a long time, he didn't know the world, he didn't know anything about geography, and he wanted to learn by asking the coachman."
Yuyi smiled.
"I see, I don't know where your Excellency is?"
Tang Zhou asked the coachman to move on, and then chatted with Yuyi.
"A certain southerner, living in Jingzhou, Su Wen Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the two seas of our country, pregnant with countless creatures, the Yangtze River has seen a lot, but this Yellow River is the first time to see, a little excited."
Yuyi truthfully told his inner feelings.
"Luoyang is on the edge of the Yellow River, crops are irrigated, it is a rich land, but it is a pity that the current imperial court does not cherish it, and the people suffer."
The coachman had been listening to the conversation between the two outside, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Ahem!"
Tang Zhou interrupted the coachman's words, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment for a while.
Yuyi closed his eyes, so that Tang Zhou couldn't see what he was thinking, but he sighed in his heart: "Speaking of calling me a brother and a brother, there are also some things behind my back, as long as Zhang Jiao's things are stupid, how can he not know that this Tang Zhou stopped the coachman because he was afraid that he would deviate from the topic." ”
In fact, after Tang De introduced Yuyi to Tang Zhou, the first topic of conversation between the two was Taiping Dao, Yuyi naturally didn't understand, taught by Tang Zhou, Yuyi's understanding was very high, and he learned very quickly, in Tang Zhou's eyes, he was a very good seedling, and he was also a faithful believer, but he never thought that these were all performed by Yuyi, and they were all pretended.
Once, Yu Yi asked the tailor shop about the intention of making a headscarf, Tang Zhou's explanation was that the imperial court needed to arm a group of troops, all of whom had to wear this kind of headscarf, Yu Yi also asked the reason for the residents to stick their nails at the door, explaining that it was the gods who came down to earth to benefit the people, in short, Tang Zhou had been covering up, he just didn't want Yu Yi to know the real thing, but unfortunately Yu Yi was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Later, Tang Zhou was valued as Zhang Jiao's closed disciple, and his position in the Julucheng County Yazhong became higher and higher, which must be dissatisfied with some old people, such as Wei Gang, etc., but it was not easy to be excluded on the surface, so he secretly made a stumbling block, Tang Zhou was simple by nature, not good at scheming, and after being rectified several times, he told Yu Yi everything, and it was Yu Yi who found a way to maintain his position, and it was also like this, so that Yu Yi won Tang Zhou's trust step by step.
Except for Zhang Jiao's rebellion, Tang Zhou told Yu Yi almost everything, of course, the real purpose of this report Yu Yi is clear, but Tang Zhou is whitewashing.
Seeing that Yuyi didn't speak, he closed his eyes, thinking that the other party was tired, Tang Zhou said: "Take a boat for a while, the water is even more bumpy, and it's good to take a rest." ”
Then there was silence again in the carriage, except for the sound of the whip and the wheels of the carriage.
Finally, after nightfall, the carriage entered the Tiger Prison Pass, and stopped at the local inn to prepare to leave the next day.
The two cleaned up and got out of the carriage, entered the inn, found a place to sit down, and began to order, hesitating that Tang Zhou would pay, so Yuyi never had to be polite, the public was cheap, and he didn't take advantage of it.
"Hey, have you heard, there have been some pirates in this area recently, who specialize in stealing people's money, and many merchants have lost their lives."
The middle-aged man at the table next to him said to the side, his voice was very low, and he was still heard by Yuyi.
"Ouch, it's terrible, this Luoyang is opposite, the center of the imperial court is there, and no one cares, is there any heavenly reason."
The other man had a bitter look on his face, presumably bothered by this.
"Brother Tang, what do you think?"
Yuyi asked Tang Zhou on the other side, because this matter affected everyone's travel, and he needed to come up with an idea.
"What else can I do, we can only wait and see!"
The coachman, Xiao Huang, took a bite of food and looked up and interjected.
"I didn't expect that this last step would encounter difficulties, now we are not familiar with life, in case we encounter thieves on the Yellow River, it doesn't matter if we die, and we can't miss a big thing!"
Tang Zhou stood up abruptly, as if he was very annoyed by the sudden trouble.
