Luoyang, this is an ancient city with a bleak color, it was once an indelible bright light in the world, it has also been set foot by foreigners, and it has also been burned by a fire.

The poisoner left his famous words before setting it on fire, "This city is useless to me!" and Luoyang was able to rejuvenate for a long time before it was half of its former glory.

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, when they felt that the national capital, almost everyone did not consider Luoyang, and some people even jokingly called Luoyang "the setting sun!"

It is such a city, it has been brilliant and desolate, and now it has become the best foil for Chang'an.

Just like the sun that rises in the east and sets in the west, the same is true for Luoyang and Gao Xianzhi.

That day, when he rode his horse and his entourage into Luoyang, there were layers of fallen leaves piled up in the city, which burned up the last flames, and lay on the ground with a dry body, waiting to be buried in the ground!

Xiao Se, the right time!

This is the time of spring, and when he returns to his hometown, he is greeted by the departure of trees and the return of fallen leaves, which is really ironic!

This old general is a well-known figure in Luoyang, and he is also a hero that many Luoyang people are proud of, and the news of returning to his hometown soon spread throughout Luoyang.

He is a veteran of the three dynasties, counting Emperor Xi, this old man has gone through Gaozong, Emperor Wu, Emperor Xi, Emperor Ming, and the whole four dynasties, and he can be said to be the highest general in the world!

With his "glorious return to his hometown", some gossip was also sprinkled all over the streets and alleys.

The veteran general of the Three Dynasties, why did the general of the Western Regions resign and return to his hometown without fighting?

Some people say that when people eventually grow old, it is a good beginning and a good end to come back alive.

There are also rumors that Gao Xianzhi is compared to a flying general, and he said that "Li Guang is difficult to seal", and he has served the Tang Dynasty all his life, and when he finally returned to his hometown, he did not have an official half-job pension, not to mention that he did not get a knighthood!

How many words in the city reached the ears of the old man, and he just laughed, he was really old!

It's noon, after returning home, Gao Xianzhi's life is much simpler, he doesn't need to put on armor to enter the camp, he exercises day and night, he is now living a daily idle life.

After a lifetime of fighting horses, do you really want to die on the hospital bed in the end?

The old man walked carelessly in the backyard of his house, doing the digestive exercise after the meal - walking.

He was neatly dressed, dressed in white, and the corners of his clothes were neatly groomed, but his white hair was not taken care of a little, and his head fell scattered.

"Master, master!" the servant on the side chased after him.

"What's wrong?"

The servant ran to Gao Xianzhi, first gasped, and then said, "Go and take a look, there are a lot of flowers in the front yard!"

Gao Xianzhi locked his eyebrows, waved his sleeves, and walked quickly to the front yard, "Wait for me to take a look!"

As a general, in addition to fighting in the Quartet, he will naturally have some of his favorite things, Gao Xianzhi put on armor and fought in the north and south all his life, and has experienced countless wars.

The blood on his hands can be imagined, and planting some flowers and plants in his spare time will help eliminate the anger in his heart, which is also one of his few hobbies.

As soon as he heard that a lot of the flowers he had planted had died, the old man was so anxious that he almost started to run faster and faster.

"Look, sir. The servant picked up one of the flower pots and handed it to Gao Xianzhi.

It bent at the waist, staggering, and not rising again, it will dissipate step by step, like firewood consumed by flames.

Gao Xianzhi was originally in good spirits, but now he is looking at the withered flower in his eyes, as if he is haggard again, the flower is dead, and people are going to be buried in the ground?

The old man shook his head and handed the pot to the servant, the wrinkles on his forehead becoming more and more pronounced, and he looked around at the dead flowers in the front yard with a smile.

I see, God, are you mentioning the old man? Fallen leaves, withered flowers, is the next old man?

His eyes suddenly dimmed a little, and he sighed unconsciously, and stopped looking back at these flowers, "Burn it!"

The servant stood there with the flower pot in his hand, he thought he had misheard, these were all things that the lord regarded as his life, and they were burned like this?

Gao Xianzhi, who used to be as quiet as water in his heart, is no longer calm in his heart at this moment, and he walked into the hall with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

The black military armor hanging in the middle of the hall and a Tang knife hanging on the side, both of which looked like famous objects that had been sealed for a long time.

There were countless cracks in the black armor, and it seemed to have been stabbed from top to bottom, and the knife had been stained with blood before, but now it was just rust.

Gao Xianzhi walked over step by step, his eyes were full of black armor, his mouth trembled slightly, like an old friend reunited, his expression was excited.

He trembled and put his hand on the cold black armor, as if he was holding cold ice in his hand, and his hand roamed on the armor, which was already pitted.

This is the knife mark of the Western Expedition! This is the wound left by the stray arrow! This is the trace of the spear!

He stroked the black armor, and his eyes seemed to remember the way he rode forward on a horse, above the desert, the horse stepped on the sand, chased the enemy for hundreds of miles at night, and pulled the bow to catch the moon.

If he is a little younger, will this Western Regions be classified into the Tang Soil early, and now this body of a broken candle in the wind, I am afraid it will be difficult to use it again!

Gao Xianzhi smiled bitterly, the Western Regions were taken over by Yu Entang, even if he was a veteran, but the relationship between the states in the Western Regions was complicated, and some even rebelled.

If it is easily advanced, not to mention the Great Eclipse of the frontal battlefield, only those Western Regions countries that are allied with the Tang Dynasty can be considered a destabilizing factor.

That's it, that's it, he sighed softly, now that he has resigned and returned to his hometown, what do you want to do so much?

He took a feather duster and began to take care of his old things.

What is better to do in the afternoon? Why not go to a teahouse and drink a good cup of tea? Self-paralysis may be the best way.

"Master, there are people out there who want to see you!"

Gao Xianzhi was a little puzzled, he had a reputation in Luoyang, but the friends he had made were a few, and most of them were no longer alive.

"Can you leave a name?"

"No, just waiting at the door!"

Gao Xianzhi put down the feather duster in his hand, "I'll go take a look." ”

As the servant came to the door, the person in front of him was unfamiliar, but it still surprised Gao Xianzhi.

She leaned on the red pillar on the side like this, and was very surprised to see someone come out.

This is a young woman, she is dressed in a green dress with tight sleeves, green silk like the back of the head, fair skin as if it can be blown and broken, slender eyebrows, a pair of red phoenix eyes, pink cheeks, a pair of red lips, smiling and smiling, heroic side leakage.

"The girl is ......" Even a person of Gao Xianzhi's age looked at the woman for a while before she came to her senses.

She has a bit of heroism, but she is charming, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the best in the world!

"Lu Qing, Lu Qing, didn't I tell your subordinates!" the woman glared at the servant behind Gao Xianzhi with a bit of anger.

The servant also blushed and scratched his head, "Master, I ......"

Gao Xianzhi naturally didn't pay attention to these, but he also arched his hand and said: "I'm sorry, I'm a little stupid here, I don't know what happened to Miss Lu Qing?"

Lu Qing put his hands on his shoulders and nodded neatly, "I don't care about these things, as for what I came to you for, um......"

Gao Xianzhi saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, only to find that he had blocked the visitor at the door, as if he was pressing, and said with a wry smile: "Please also invite the girl in for a cup of tea." ”

"Good to say!" Just as Gao Xianzhi was about to make a gesture of please, Lu Qing had already stepped into the mansion, "The mansion of General Gao is a little shabby, it doesn't look like a veteran of the Three Dynasties at all." ”

The old man was shocked in his heart, he was a cultivator, and he had stayed in the corona realm for a long time, frankly speaking, below the vastness, he was not afraid of anyone, and he didn't see her shadow clearly by the girl just now!

"Hey, what are you still doing outside, come in!" Lu Qing shouted at the two people outside as if he had become the owner of this mansion.

Gao Xianzhi said with a smile: "This mansion is a little shabby, but I'm old, and I'm used to fighting and killing or something, wouldn't it be beautiful to find a quiet place to spend my old age in peace?"

"That's right, well, I won't ask you anymore!"

In the hall, Gao Xianzhi ordered his subordinates to make tea and send it to the two.

"Then Miss Lu Qing, ...... you come this time?"

"Wait a minute, old general, don't worry, let's have a drink first, I just drank some wine, and now it's good to have tea!" Lu Qing picked up the teacup, made a gesture of invitation to Gao Xianzhi, and then took a sip.

Gao Xianzhi was really a little helpless, he looked like he was doing his own thing, could this person come to him to be greedy for tea?

"Ahh

"Miss Lu Qing rarely drinks tea!"

"Hahaha, it's better to drink! Lu Qing looked aggrieved and put the teacup on the table.

"Can we get down to business now?"

"Well, well, in fact, there is nothing to talk about, I just came to see the meritorious ministers of the Tang Dynasty!" Lu Qing stood up and looked around the courtyard.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Qing turned his head and smiled, "I said that I came to beg for tea, and the old general would not believe it." ”

Gao Xianzhi shook his head, how could this girl be the same as Lin Ying, "I don't believe it." ”

Lu Qing put his hands behind his back, "I passed through Luoyang and heard that General Gao was returning to his hometown, so I came to see it and told you the way forward." ”

"The way forward?"

"Yes, the old general should know that his return to office is far away. Lu Qing nodded, "You can't wait, because your life is almost gone!"

"What do you mean!" Gao Xianzhi's hand tightened, and he directly crushed the teacup, and his body stood up suddenly, his face turned from white to red!

Lu Qing patted his mouth, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Look at my mouth, I really can't speak, I really can't speak!"

"You'd better take back what you just said, or the master will let you go around without food!" the servant also looked angry.
