Chapter Eighty-Eight: Father and Daughter Meet
The war horse neighed, the halberd waning moon, and the long sword hung on the waist, Liu Cang and Zhang Xiuniang both wore inner armor, and even Liu Cang asked Zhang Xiuniang to put her war on the carriage.
Well, although he knew that Zhang Rang was unlikely to kill him casually, Liu Cang still lacked some sense of security in the face of Zhang Rang.
A carriage, Liu Cang rode a horse and followed the car, Zhang Xiuniang sat in the car, Zhang Kui who drove out of the East Village, and Wang Yun also sat in the coachman's position.
Zhang Xiuniang's father had no news again, and it was not easy to inquire with Wang Yun, so Liu Cang had to find Zhang Rang's mansion all the way.
Luoyang is prosperous, there are 12 city gates, there are more imperial cities in the outer city, two palaces in the north and south of the imperial city, enter the city for about half a moment, if you ignore the rear city wall, look at it from afar, the two palaces are also like the city.
Although it was the first time to come to Luoyang, Cai Yong forced Liu Cang to read a lot of books over the years, and only a few of these books were poems and songs, most of which were miscellaneous gazetteers, just like the layout of Luoyang City, Liu Cang could also understand it when he first came.
The vicinity of the South Palace of the Inner City belongs to the Three Princes' Mansions, and the east of the North Palace is mostly the residence of dignitaries, and Zhang Rang's mansion is also there.
Step to the door of the hall, the plaque of Zhangfu is low-key, and the front of the door is like a square, and four armored guards are guarding in front of the door.
It seems to be cold, but on both sides of the gate like the palace porch, there are two arrow towers erected in the bluestone courtyard wall, and from a distance, Liu Cang doesn't know whether to describe it as low-key or public.
The frame approached, and the neighing wind stepped on the flat stone slab in front of Zhangfu, and the hooves of the war horses with iron hooves made a crisp hoof sound.
The Eastern Han Dynasty usually did not give horseshoe to war horseshoe, but there are horseshoe gold here, and there are also iron hooves made of metal, which is much more troublesome to make than horseshoe.
The application of horseshoes has been very common on the side of the Romans, as early as the Western Han Dynasty, the Han people had a concept of horseshoes from the captured Romans.
It's just that the gold reserves in the Han Dynasty were quite large, probably out of some kind of pride, and the horseshoe is now used, but the iron hooves made of gold or alloys with a texture close to the horse's hooves are more popular.
Iron hooves are mostly matched with war horses, and the so-called non-good horses are not hoofed is also a joke.
The iron hoof contains all the functions of the horseshoe, which can enhance the kicking and trampling ability of the war horse to a certain extent, but the frequency of replacement is also higher.
At the same time, the iron hoof harness is also a sign that distinguishes elite cavalry from ordinary cavalry. However, the environment in Liaodong is more serious for the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, and mountain riding battles are frequent, and the horses are usually matched with horseshoes.
Seeing Liu Cang's carriage coming towards the gate of Zhangfu, the guards at the gate greeted him with a respectful face.
"Dare to ask, but Liu Cang, Liu Gongzi in person?" The slightly shrill voice made Liu Cang stunned.
The guard in front of him is strong and vigorous, but if you look closely, your face is white.
Listening to the other party's voice again, Liu Cang frowned uncomfortably, these guards are probably also eunuchs, which is somewhat different from the eunuchs in his cognition.
"Liu Cang brought Zhang Xiuniang to visit... Please report it to me. Stunned for a moment, Liu Cang said to the guards, but he was a little unsure of what to call Zhang Rang, so he simply skipped it.
"No need to report, hurry, hurry up and lead the horse to my uncle, Zhang Gong and Uncle have been waiting for my uncle for a long time." Seeing that Liu Cang responded, the guards were full of smiles, saying that there was no need to report it, but one of them had already strode back to the mansion.
"Hmm." Liu Cang calmed the neigh, and a guard stepped forward to lead the horse for Liu Cang.
It was not far from the gate of the house, and when he arrived at the stairs in front of the gate, Liu Cang dismounted with a halberd, refusing to be supported by the guards, Liu Cang was about to pick up Zhang Xiuniang and get off the car, accompanied by the sound of the collision of scales and armor, and a noisy footsteps came from Zhang's house.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's embroidery, it's good." An old man in brocade shouted loudly, followed by a dozen people in armor.
"Daddy!" Hearing the old man's shout, Zhang Xiuniang lifted the curtain and responded softly.
The old man ran quickly to the carriage, and when he saw Liu Cang standing beside the carriage with a halberd, his eyes flashed with surprise.
Liu Cang is now quite different from the little broken child in his early impression, but at this time, the old man didn't have the heart to pay attention to Liu Cang, and hurriedly got started to help Zhang Xiuniang who got out of the car.
The old man is Zhang Xiuniang's father, Zhang Feng, who was hung by Liu Cangqi at the beginning.
"Daddy! Are you alright? Seeing Zhang Feng, father and daughter supported each other, Zhang Xiuniang looked Zhang Feng up and down, and saw that although he had lost some weight, he was now dressed luxuriously and his body was fine, so he was relieved.
"Good, all right. For the sake of my father, I am afraid that something will happen to you on the road, so it's okay. Zhang Feng also looked Zhang Xiuniang up and down, grabbed Zhang Xiuniang's hand and stroked it, and the next moment, his eyes changed, and he looked at Zhang Xiuniang's palm, and he was immediately angry.
"Liu Da Thong! What's wrong with my daughter's hand? How much rough work did you make her do, you, you... Zhang Feng grabbed Zhang Xiuniang's hand, and there were a few rough calluses on his palm, and he felt distressed when he saw it.
Zhang Feng angrily scolded Liu Cang, Liu Cang rolled his eyes for a while, Zhang Xiuniang pulled Zhang Feng a little crampedly, and before she could explain, Zhang Feng was angry and comforted.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everything is for your father to support you, for your father is now a captain of Yue Cavalry, and there are countless fierce generals under his command, not afraid of him Liu Da ramming barbarian." Zhang Feng waved his hand, and more than a dozen armored guards behind him seemed to step forward.
"Boom!" The heavy halberd smashed to the ground, and the muffled sound made a group of armored guards look stunned, and they wanted to step forward to protect Zhang Feng's father and daughter, but Liu Cang took out a purple blade with a halberd and stopped them aside.
"Fuck off." Liu Cang frowned and scolded. Zhang Feng can't be provoked now, but a group of guards Liu Cang is lazy to entangle with them.
The faces of the guards were ugly, and although there was taboo in their eyes, they still reached for the swords on their waists.
"Stop!" Zhang Feng stopped the guards, looked at Liu Cang in surprise, and then looked at the ground where Liu Cang swung his halberd.
"Is this thing real?" Zhang Feng pointed to this Liu Cang's halberd and asked.
"Hmm." Liu Cang nodded, obviously, he was holding the halberd before, Zhang Feng probably thought it was the kind of thing used by the village clan.
Zhang Feng was surprised, but Wang Yun, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was frightened, where did Cai Yong find the livestock boy.
Liu Cang didn't know such an easy crack, but he knew that the dozen or so armored guards in front of him were all Yue cavalry generals, and looking at their dignified attitude, he knew that Liu Cang's body was not a show.
He used to only think that Liu Cang was rude, and he also thought that Liu Cang's halberd was fooling, but now, the easy slash is no longer as simple as being rude.
Wang Yun secretly praised his vision, but fortunately he didn't start with Liu Cangzhen before, otherwise Liu Cang was afraid that he would really be able to put on an eighteen-like appearance for him.
"This is the purple gold I sent back?" For the time being, no one paid attention to Wang Yun's mental activities, Zhang Feng asked with a bitter face.
This stinky boy seems to be more tampered, what's the matter?
When it came to Zijin, Liu Cang had a black line in his head, and then looked at Zhang Feng secretly looking at the armored guards who were drunk by him, how could Liu Cang not know the careful thinking of this old guy.
"Where did you come from? Who in our township can serve that thing? I didn't let the embroidery girl do heavy work, just like this, the embroidery girl can hit ten now. Liu Cang was dissatisfied with Zhang Feng, and as he spoke, he threw the halberd to the opposite guard.
"Help me carry it!"
The halberd was thrown with ease, but the guards were obviously not eyeless.
Seeing the material of the euphorbia, now that they knew that this thing was real, the four guards stepped forward in unison, hugged them with both hands, and used their bodies to block the trajectory of the euphorbia throwing.
"Bang!"
"Whoa~!" There was a soft and muffled sound, followed by the sound of nails colliding and rubbing.
The four guards tacitly took a few steps back and secured the halberd, and then looked at Liu Cang with some surprise.
"How? What's wrong? Liu Cang asked the guards who were looking at him.
"Nope. Childe is brave, we are not as good as waiting. A group of guards responded in unison.
They knew that Liu Cang was giving them a beating, but their own lieutenant seemed to be urinating (sui) again. Alas~, just rush to the weight of this halberd, admit it.
