Chapter 173: Infiltrating Luoyang

Luoyang, between the river and Luo, in the middle of the world, surrounded by mountains on all sides, five rivers around the city, rivers and mountains arch to wear, the shape wins the world in the world, as early as in ancient times, it has become the envy of heaven and man with the great beauty of heaven and earth.

It is endowed with the majestic atmosphere of the Central Plains, with the charm and charm of the southern water town, the east pressure Jianghuai, the west of Guanlong, the north through Youyan, the south of Jingxiang, the eight directions, the peony is precious in the world, the name of the thousand-year-old imperial capital, there is no word of exaggeration.

In that year, Emperor Tuoba Zu did not hesitate to be the enemy of the whole country, and insisted on moving the capital from the bitter cold Pingcheng to this rich and rich land, laying the most solid cornerstone for the great cause of the Qi Dynasty to unify the world. Tuoba Hong, who was regarded as Emperor Wu by later generations, fought hard for five generations after succeeding to the throne, whipped south, and pacified the world.

Even if it is often criticized by the history books because of the bloodbath of the Li family, but after the unification of the world, the Tuoba Emperor did not have the pride of the conqueror, he took the lead, showed great enthusiasm and tolerance for the Han culture, and respected Buddhism, and built a new Buddhist temple, in just a few years, it was already the 480th temple of the Southern Dynasty.

Influenced by the Buddhist idea of forbearance and cultivating merit, in reality, it is true that they have not encountered harsh government, and even if the people of Jiangnan still miss their homeland in their hearts, they gradually no longer resist the rulers of the north.

In particular, after three consecutive years of good weather and abundant harvests, the people were harmonious and happy, the four seas surrendered, and the envoys of all countries claimed to praise the virtues of the Tuoba clan. Even the big scandal of Madman Li coming to the court with a sword, breaking the green mountains with a sword, and shattering Chang'an City with a sword, has also become a prosperous omen of "the green mountains are broken and the saints come out, and the city walls are broken and the soldiers are stopped".

Just as the "auspicious signs" offered by officials from all over the world poured into Chang'an, an inconspicuous carriage drove into the thousand-year-old imperial capital.

Li Yunuan and his entourage entered the vice-capital Luoyang in disguise.

......

......

It is the April day in the world, the spring is stronger day by day, the post road is greeted by the willow with new green soft branches, once after the crisp rain, the air is full of the fragrance of grass.

Worried that Li Yeyin's situation would deteriorate, and at the same time avoid people's eyes, after leaving the northwest, Li Yunuan took the initiative to buy a carriage and a few miscellaneous mares, and the four of them disguised themselves as scholars who went to Beijing to seek fame, and wandered all the way south.

The destination is Luoyang.

This is Li Yeyin's request.

On the one hand, Luoyang, as a thousand-year-old imperial capital, is bustling with people. Entering Luoyang City is like a fish swimming into the sea, even if it is Kuze's cronies, it is very difficult to find a person in the countryside where the three religions and nine streams live together; on the other hand, it is the truth that the lights are dark. Li Yeyin only made a big fuss outside Chang'an City a few years ago, who would have thought that he would be so bold and reckless, swaggering into the city, hiding at the feet of the Son of Heaven! The most important thing is that the dead qi in Li Yeyin's body is too strong, and only in a place like the imperial capital, where the vitality and dragon qi are rich, can it be neutralized and melted.

After listening to these three reasons, Li Yunuan agreed to his suggestion almost immediately. She is not worried about whether there is someone in Luoyang to answer, Li Yeyin has always been able to make calculations, not to mention that although the Tuoba clan is quite popular with the people, there are also many people who miss their homeland.

It would be perfect if you could arrange a mansion where Mo Qingxiu could be monitored. Li Yunuan thought to herself, and suddenly the carriage stopped, and it turned out that Luoyang had arrived.

......

As the deputy capital second only to Chang'an, Luoyang City's entry review is naturally much stricter than that of other places. However, before Xu Yuanyuan, who had freckles on her face, took out the forged text guide, there was a eunuch waiting next to her who was pinching the orchid fingers and the whole body brocade to greet him with a sharp voice, and was courteous to the car, and slapped the general guarding the city with his backhand, scolding: "Blind your dog's eyes! If you don't hurry up and retreat, you will delay the princess's big event, and you will have a few lives to lose!"

Everyone in Luoyang City knows that after the Jinling incident, the high-flying princess Chen Guo fell ill, and she hired Jianghu warlocks with a lot of money, hoping that they could help her find the soul of Li Tang Shizi and meet in a dream. After the Daqingshan incident, it became even worse, and the princess's mansion burned a strong incense day and night, and the drowsy smell could be smelled across the three streets.

However, even if Fang Shi deceives people and summons souls absurdly, who dares to speak out and admonish Princess Chen Guo?!

Knowing that the little eunuch in the brocade robe was pretending to be a tiger, the carriage drove into the city without inspection, and the soldiers defending the city only spat hatefully after the carriage went away, cursing them for their wealth to come easily and go faster!

Li Yunuan naturally didn't know what happened after turning around, and she soon fell into confusion.

She knew that someone would answer them after they entered Luoyang, but she never expected that the person who answered was the eunuch of the princess's mansion, and the eunuch was arrogant in front of the generals guarding the city, but he was low-eyed and pleasing to Li Yeyin!

Rumors about Princess Chen Guo came to mind, and Li Yunuan's face gradually became ugly.

Out of trust in Li Yeyin, she finally chose to be silent, sat against the wall of the car, lifted the curtain, and watched the crowd outside the window, so prosperous.

Because of the brocade eunuchs riding high-headed horses, the stall vendors along the road avoided it from a distance, but the aroma of rice noodles, smoke and water, and dust all made the unicorn, which had been on the mountain since it came out of its shell, couldn't help but hang on the window lattice with its legs, its dark eyes looked out without blinking, and its pink tongue stretched out from time to time, swallowing back the dripping saliva.

Li Yunuan was a little distracted.

This is the first time she has come to Luoyang, before that, she only knew that this place has always been the capital of the emperor, prosperous for thousands of years, and there are beautiful peonies in the world. And what she saw in front of her was also a veritable prosperity, which dazzled her and dizzy.

Compared with Luoyang, which is a combination of extravagance and robustness, Jinling wrapped in rouge powder is too weak, it is like a begonia after the spring rain, delicate and red, but it is a little tudgy.

"What are you thinking?" Li Yeyin, who had finally turned a little ruddy after inhaling Luoyang's imperial gas and human smoke, asked softly.

Li Yunuan said: "Luoyang is so beautiful, so beautiful that I feel it...... Li Tang disappeared into history...... Maybe it's destiny......"

Li Yeyin knew that the beauty in Li Yunuan's mouth referred to the vitality and beauty of the city brought about by the Qingming rule of the Tuoba clan.

“...... The dynasty that has lasted for too long will inevitably begin to decay from the inside, and the accumulation of dead branches and rotten leaves year after year will eventually become difficult to rise, and the medicine stone will be hopeless. But history needs to move forward, so every time an ancient dynasty becomes weak, a storm will come in its face, completely crushing the crumbling buildings, and the dead branches and leaves accumulated over the years will also be washed away by the clear spring. Although as the Li family, we can't calmly accept the fact that the Li family was abandoned by fate, but for the people...... Your father wasn't a proper ruler......"

Li Yeyin said coldly, these words full of sarcasm did not make Li Yunuan angry.

"His biggest mistake was not to be born in the same era as Tuoba Hongsheng," she said. He was a philistine, at most a conservative monarch. He saw that Li Tang was struggling to get up, and he also wanted to reform, but his ability ...... Unable...... Let Li Tang regain his strength...... I have long accepted the fate of being annexed, only...... I can't accept such a tragic ending!"

"This time I came to Luoyang, although it was to recuperate from my injuries, but if it was the right time, I wanted to kill Mo Qingxiu by the way. Li Yeyin said lightly, Li Yunuan glanced at him, swallowed the words that had already surged to his throat, and said:

"If the ...... Grandpa passed the throne to ...... King Jing, maybe the Li family can last longer. ”

King Jing is Li Yeyin's grandfather.

When Li Yeyin heard this, he smiled, stretched out his hand to run Li Yunuan's hair, and said, "Li Tang has exhausted his qi, and no one can afford to sit on this throne." ”

"But—"

Li Yunuan remembered the jade seal, Yuehua said that the popularity of heaven and earth condensed in the jade seal can be maintained for at least two hundred years, and the small court of the Southern Tang Dynasty still has two hundred years of peaceful life!

However, she eventually dismissed the idea.

Politics is a dirty quagmire, and once you get into it, you are left with two options: to dye it black or to dye it even darker. Because of the most tragic destruction, they got out of the quagmire, and although they have borne the hatred of their family and the country since then, they do not have to be trapped in the world of power and scheming, looking for a way out that absolutely does not exist!

No matter how many rights and wrongs there are in the cultivation realm, at least there is a benchmark for the truth. As long as you have enough strength, you can get enough respect. On the other hand, looking at the history of the dust world, are there still few generals who are forced to die by the pen?

"After the revenge is avenged, let's find a place to live in seclusion, shall we?"

Thinking of the impending catastrophe that Yuehua and Feng Qingde inadvertently said, Li Yunuan had the heart to retreat.

Li Yeyin squinted his eyes and said, "This is nature. I finally got out of the sewage tank, and I didn't want to go back to that world full of calculations. Although in the field of intrigue calculations and playing with people's hearts, I do not lose to anyone. But this kind of intrigue life is really too tiring. ”

Hearing the deep tiredness in his cousin's words, Li Yunuan also sighed.

At this time, the carriage finally passed through the block and drove into a deep alley.

On both sides of the alley are high white walls and gray tiles, which are extremely quiet, and you can only hear the rustle of the wind blowing green bamboo behind the wall, and the sound of silk and bamboo music.

The eunuch who led the way in front was silent, and Liyan and Xu Yuanyuan, who were driving, were also silent, so they walked all the way to the end of the alley, and saw the back door of the copper ring mahogany wide open, and a man with a rare and somewhat kind face next to the door leaned over his waist and looked around from time to time.

The carriage will stop, the curtain will be raised, but the man with the purple brocade stepped forward first, pressed the curtain that was raised, probed into the carriage, and said to the two people: "Just drive in directly, don't get out of the car, there are Mo Qingxiu's eyes and ears here." ”

The male duck's throat can't hide the roughness that the man should have, and his white skin has a little stubble, Li Yunuan only glanced at it and determined that this person was castrated after he became an adult.

Contacting the young man's purple brocade, as well as the familiarity in his facial features, Li Yunuan's heart suddenly understood most of it, leaned up, lowered his voice and scolded: "Qu Lang...... You don't want to die!"

Before Qu Lang could answer, Li Yeyin was already smiling, and he said softly: "Qu Lang has always kept in touch with me. There are also residents in this vicinity, most of whom have a grudge against Mo Qingxiu. As long as they can kill Mo Qingxiu, a hungry wolf, even if they sell their souls to the devil, they are willing. ”

"Isn't it dangerous to live here?" Li Yunuan was puzzled.

Li Yeyin was about to answer, Qu Lang had already laughed, and said, "You just have to rest assured, this house is the private property of Princess Chen Guo, even if it is Kuze, don't dare to break in rashly!"
