Chapter 54: Welcome to Luoyang
The south gate of Luoyang City is outside the city.
Today's suburbs of Luoyang are particularly lively. The spacious official road was cleaned, and even the willows on both sides of the road were obviously cleaned and trimmed.
On the official road outside Lixu, there are not only high-ranking officials in Luoyang City, but also wealthy businessmen who have heard the news, as well as some heads of martial arts factions. One by one, they waited anxiously on the road, looking south from time to time.
These characters, who used to stomp their feet and make the earth shake, now seem to be restless.
On both sides of the road, the land was full of people who came to join in the fun. Standing on the city wall of Luoyang City, I saw a sea of people below, like two winding and majestic dragons, extending from the city gate to the outside of the city.
Luoyang City looked at the sky, saw the sun hanging high in the sky, looked at the Taoist beside him a little impatiently, and asked: "Dao Chief, seeing that the auspicious time is about to pass, why has the real person not arrived for a long time, is it possible that there is trouble on the way?" ”
The Taoist looked calm and said: "The city is guarded and at ease, what kind of person is a real person, how can he be in trouble." Isn't there a quarter of an hour left until the auspicious time? ”
The castle guard frowned, his mouth slightly open and closed, but he didn't speak.
A quarter of an hour is already very short, okay? If you miss the auspicious time to greet you, all the arrangements will go wrong. When the time comes, it will not only be the inside of the real person, but also the face of the world's Daomen and the Great Song Dynasty.
Just when the city guard was nervous, there were bursts of smoke and dust on the official road in the distance, as well as the crisp sound of horses' hooves. Judging from the sound and the scale of the smoke, it should be a scene created by the passage of a large group of people.
With the arrival of the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of silk and bamboo can be faintly heard in the air.
Everyone looked at the figure that was gradually becoming clear in the distance, and the voice of silk and bamboo that was getting clearer and clearer, and suddenly understood that the person they were waiting for had arrived.
Compared with the complexity of the city guards and others, the people on both sides of the road were only excited. In this era of scarce entertainment programs, such a luxurious and magnificent scene is enough to boast about a lifetime.
"It's really a big show, it's worthy of being a fairy-like fairy."
"Look at these soldiers and horses, they seem to be from the Gao family's army, right?"
"Surely so, look at the horses under their crotches, and the terrible eyes. In addition to the Gao family army, what other team of people in our Great Song Dynasty can have such spirit. ”
"That's right, I heard that Mo Zhenren has a knowing grace for General Gao Huan, no wonder General Gao sent so many people to escort him all the way."
"But I heard that although General Gao surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, he only listened to Mo Zhenren's orders?"
When everyone heard this, the scene suddenly became a little cold. As for those neighborhood rumors, people naturally will not hear about it. It's just that this kind of topic, is it really appropriate to say it in public?
They were silent for a few seconds, and then someone coughed lightly, bringing the conversation back on track.
Luoyang has been war-torn for a long time, and is in the first front line between the Great Song and the Mongols, so he naturally knows a lot about the army of the Great Song Dynasty. They looked at the approaching army, and the graceful beauties in colorful clothes behind them, and only felt that the big scenes they had seen in their lives were not as magnificent as they were in front of them.
In the corner of the crowd, the left envoy of the Ming Sect was dressed in an ordinary green shirt, lurking quietly like an ordinary old peasant. Beside him, there is also a man and a woman guarding him.
The man was tall and strong, with a clear Chinese face, and his eyes were like lightning bolts when they opened and closed, making people dare not look directly. The woman had a sexy and enchanting figure, wearing a long purple dress, and her face was delicate and gorgeous, just like a lady from a large family.
Guangming Zuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said flatly: "The army opens the way, and the beauty dances." Blow the big conch and beat the big drum. This world-shattering immortal is really a big show. ”
The woman with a rather gorgeous face sneered and said softly: "Even if the immortal descends to earth, let him fall here today." If this person is not removed, how can I still teach things to succeed. ”
The middle-aged man with a national face stared at the convoy coming from afar, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The city gate has been arranged properly, and there must be no mistakes." ”
"With Monk Peng leading the team, there will be no problem." The Bright Left Envoy looked calm and said in a voice like a mosquito.
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face showed a touch of relief.
Monk Peng, as the head of the five scattered people of the Ming Sect, should have no problem with him. His light skills are unique in the world, even if he is the top master of the rivers and lakes, there are only a handful of people who can track his traces. Everything has already been arranged under the city gate, and the most important thing at that time is to be fast, and not leave the slightest chance for that person to react.
Just when a few people were discussing, Mo Chen's car had already arrived here.
Luoyang City Guard stepped forward, and a few feet away in front of the carriage, bowed down and said: "Luoyang City Guard Xiao He Ming, welcome the real person to drive Luoyang." ”
"Xiao Cheng has a heart." Mo Chen didn't show up, and said in a flat voice.
When Xiao Heming heard Mo Chen's words, he hurriedly smiled and said, "The real person is polite, this is what a villain should do." The festival has been prepared, and the representatives of all sects and factions have been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the real person to drive Luoyang. ”
Mo Chen said: "In this case, let's enter the city, don't make the guests wait for a long time." ”
When Xiao Heming heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint weirdness rose in his heart.
Guest, is this treating yourself as the host?
It's just that Xiao Heming thought of the situation in the Central Plains and sighed secretly in his heart. Since Gao Huan and others recovered the Central Plains, this area seems to have returned to the embrace of the Great Song Dynasty, and the real power in it is in the hands of the Quanzhen Sect.
As early as the early days of the Mongols' retreat, there were constantly people who brought gifts to the Quanzhen Sect and secretly took refuge in the Quanzhen. Not to mention those officials who live in various places, it is the Gao family army who is currently stationed near Luoyang, who seems to have surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty on the surface, but in fact they are under the orders of the Quanzhen Sect, or only obey the orders of the immortals in front of them!
The 80,000 Gao family army, in the case of the loss of the elite of the imperial court, even the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to move lightly, so they could only stabilize it with a conservative strategy. Gao Huan himself was named the Duke of Liang Guo, and most of his generals were also named Hou Bo.
Xiao Heming thought of the situation in the Central Plains, even if he was very dissatisfied in his heart, he could only choose to ignore it silently. He came back to his senses, respectfully led the way in front, and led Mo Chen's car towards Luoyang City.
The elite cavalry under Gao Huan walked in unison between actions, opening the way in front of everyone.
The person at the head is none other than Gao Ying, one of the generals who took the initiative to surrender, he is not only Gao Huan's cousin, but also one of Gao Huan's important confidants.
Gao Ying's face is handsome and extraordinary, and she looks more like a scholar who has read poetry and books.
He rode on the tall red horse, looked at the two teams of city guards under the city gate, and inexplicably felt a faint distraction in his heart, and ordered with a slight frown: "Expelle those idle people, don't disturb the real people." ”
The knight beside him took the order, and more than two hundred knights walked out of the ranks quickly, galloping towards the city gate, and shouted at the same time: "The idle people in front of him should retreat quickly, don't disturb the real people." ”
Under the city gate, a tall middle-aged man heard the voice, and his face suddenly changed slightly.
Oh no, did it leak!
