Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, Ping Pi Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Huhu Prison in the east, Yinghan Valley in the west, surrounded by mountains, Luoyang Plain in the middle, Yi, Luo, Qian, Jian four rivers flow through it, it is not only the situation is dangerous, but also the scenery is beautiful, the soil is fertile, the climate is moderate, and the transportation is convenient. Since ancient times, eight dynasties have built their capitals here. The so-called Heyang Dingdingdi, located in the Central Plains and corresponding to the Quartet, Luoyang is the world's traffic stronghold, military fortress.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he chose another capital site in Luoyang and established a new capital. The new imperial city is located between the Zhou Wangcheng and the ancient city of the Han and Wei dynasties, the east exceeds the Qianshui, the south crosses the Luo River, the west is adjacent to the Jianhe River, the north is by the mountain, the city is more than 50 miles around, magnificent and magnificent. Yang Guang took Luoyang as the center, dug out a grand canal that reaches Hangzhou in the south, reaches Zhuojun in the north, and runs through the north and south, connecting the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, and Luoyang has become the central hub of transportation and commerce in the world.

"This is the first time I have come to Luoyang in this life, and a city of this scale is really rare!" Shen Chengping looked at the magnificent and magnificent capital of the ages, and walked on the "Heavenly Street", a street with a width of 100 steps and a distance of two gates in the north and south, and the street stretched straight out, I am afraid that it is seven or eight miles long. The street is full of cherries, pomegranates, elms, willows and other kinds of trees, if it is at the turn of spring and summer, when the grass and trees grow, the peach and willow green, the scenery is picturesque, beautiful. There are many shops on both sides of the avenue, between the lanes, each has opened up a road, and the vertical and horizontal ten streets that run through the major city gates are staggered, orderly, the street is full of people, and the end is extremely prosperous.

"This Yang Guang is also too anxious for quick success, building a famous city, three expeditions to Goryeo, digging canals, and pacifying the Western Regions This is a major event in any dynasty, and it is not easy to complete one in ten years, he just did it all, and the people's power was used to the extreme, so it is a strange thing to not die in the country, but it made Li Tang pick up a cheap one and create a prosperous era." Shen Chengping thought in his heart, and gradually walked to a bridge, but he heard a white-clothed boy at the head of the bridge chanting in a low voice: "It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, and fluttering like the snow of the wind." Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising to the morning glow; Forced to notice it, the scorching Furu came out of the waves......"

Shen Chengping turned his gaze and glanced at it, but said in his heart: "I didn't expect it to be a coincidence, I actually met Shi Zhixuan's apprentice!" ”

The evil king Shi Zhixuan has a total of two apprentices, Yang Xuyan that Shen Chengping met in the Pegasus Ranch before is one of them, and at this time, the white-clothed man standing at the head of the bridge is another apprentice of Shi Zhixuan, Hou Xibai, this Hou Xibai is known as an amorous son, good at danqing, and a beauty fan in his hand is painted with all kinds of beauties he has encountered, this is the first time Shen Chengping has seen Hou Xibai, but his cultivation of martial arts faintly reveals ordinary and imperceptible fluctuations, but Shen Chengping knows that this person is Shi Zhixuan's apprentice, and then combined with the image, it is not difficult to guess his identity.

But Lao Shi probably regretted accepting this apprentice, Shen Chengping thought that this Hou Xibai actually fell in love with Concubine Xuan in the plot, and later took the risk to help Concubine Xuan get out of danger, as a person in the Demon Gate, it is a shame to be fascinated by the descendants of Cihang Jingzhai to this extent.

Seeing that Hou Xibai was still there reciting Cao Zhi's famous fortune that had been passed down through the ages, his face seemed to be thinking about the splendor of Luo Shen back then, Shen Chengping pursed his lips and said: "Hou Gongzi is really interested, I really don't know what Ling Shi will think when he sees Hou Gongzi's appearance at this time!" ”

"Who are you!?" Hou Xibai turned his head to look at Shen Chengping, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Hehe, it's just the same door of the Holy Gate, and when I saw the evil king's high feet, I couldn't help but come over and say hello!" A smile overflowed at the corner of Shen Chengping's mouth and said: "Hou Gongzi is not lingering in the Flower Country, why did he come to Luoyang This is a place of wrong, could it be that he was ordered by the evil king?" ”

As soon as Hou Xibai heard this, he knew that Shen Chengping seemed to be inquiring about Shi Zhixuan's news, so he said: "What is the name of this brother, it seems that he is familiar with the family teacher?" ”

"It's not Shen Chengping!" Shen Chengping didn't hide it, since Ning Daoqi was arranged to intercept him, it was no secret that he went to Luoyang, so he said directly: "It's just that I met a few months ago, thanks to the advice of the evil king, I haven't had time to return yet!" ”

"It's you!" Hearing Shen Chengping report to his home, Hou Xibai's eyes froze, and he said: "Brother Shen is bold, now Luoyang is the territory of Yuwen Valve, Brother Shen actually dares to come here alone!" ”

"Haha, as far as those people under Yuwen Valve's hands, I don't look at them yet, even if they are thousands of troops!" Shen Chengping said with a comfortable expression: "But Hou Gongzi is not small, whether he came to Luoyang for the same sake as Shen!" ”

In fact, if Shen Chengping had an accident, the Ming army would go straight to Luoyang, and if Yuwen was really smart, he would not attack Shen Chengping in Luoyang.

"Brother Shen said with a smile, I also have self-knowledge, naturally I won't fight for He's Bi, I just want to see the demeanor of Shang Xiufang, the number one prostitute in the world!" Hou Xibai said: "If Brother Shen wants to get news from me, I'm afraid he will be disappointed, the family teacher hasn't contacted me for several months!" ”

Shen Chengping saw that what Hou Xibai said was afraid that it was true, and his mental intuition told him that Hou Xibai probably didn't know Shi Zhixuan's whereabouts, so he didn't continue to ask, but chatted with Hou Xibai on the bridge, and after the two of them said a few words, Hou Xibai said: "I don't know if Brother Shen knows the name of the bridge under his feet?" ”

Shen Chengping pondered for a while before saying, "It should be Xinzhongqiao!" ”

Hou Xibai nodded and said: "It is indeed called Xinzhong Bridge, Yang Guang did not know how much painstaking effort he put into building Luoyang back then!" This Luoyang takes the north and south as the central axis, so that Luoshui traverses the whole city, divides Luoyang into two districts in the north and south, and connects it with four bridges, and Luoshui in the city connects with other Yi, Qian, and Jian three rivers in the city, so that the river in the city lingers, and the beauty of the landscape is moved to the city, giving people the feeling of being made in heaven and earth. In addition, set up the West Garden outside the west wall of the Outer Guo City, west to Xin'an, north to the Pi Mountain, south to the Yique Mountains, more than 200 miles around, comparable to the Shanglin Garden of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in ancient times, the Outer Guo City and the West Garden are connected together, so that Luoyang is more large-scale. ”

While talking, the two of them walked down the bridge together, walking on the road, but saw a commotion, a team of soldiers dressed in strong and stubborn clothes opened the way, drove away the pedestrians, and the two people knew that the people passing by were afraid that they were not small.

The infantry who opened the road held weapons, the carriage was quite gorgeous, and behind the carriage was the cavalry in armor, those cavalry followed across the horse, orderly, calm temperament, it was indeed elite, Yuwen valve completely received more than 100,000 elite troops of the Sui Dynasty, plus Luoyang Xiongcheng, its momentum is stronger than in the original book in Jiangdu I don't know how much.
