Zhuang Shaoyou led the fleet to set out from southern Liaoning, the sea in May had already blown to the southeast, the fleet was in a semi-headwind state, five days later arrived at Puyang City in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, after a short rest, continued to go upstream.

In the early morning of 12 May, the fleet entered Luoshui from the Yellow River and soon arrived at the southern wharf of Luoyang. Immediately caused a commotion on the dock

"What a magnificent fleet!"

"I don't know which important person from a famous family has arrived!"

"It's not like that! It is impossible for the Yuan family in Runan to come by boat, could it be the Wei family in Hedong and the Wang family in Taiyuan? But there is no family emblem on this ship? Or is it the Sima family in Hanoi? But Lord Sima Fang is in Luodu! ”

"This matter is very strange, could it be the person who entered the house of the great general? No, there are not many relatives in the general's family, and they all stay in Luoyang as officials! Even the newborn doll has been sealed! ”

"Definitely! Definitely! This must be the merchant ship of the Jiangnan Hao family! I look at this ship, the shape is unique, the construction is quite exquisite, the craftsmanship is exquisite, it is smacking, it is by no means the shipbuilding technique of the Central Plains! Have you ever noticed that the draft of this ship is far deeper than that of the side ship, and it must be due to the fact that it is full of cargo! ”

While everyone on the dock was talking, a young man who looked like a gentleman stepped forward and commented.

"Isn't this Sima Boda, the eldest son of Lord Sima Fang, the commander of the cavalry?"

"It's him! I heard that this son was twelve years old in the scripture exam, and became a boy lang! What a young genius! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou and Sun Qian came down with more than a dozen entourage, and just saw Xu people on the dock watching their fleet, and they were a little funny, they were already low-key enough, why are they still like this?

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at Sun Qian next to him, Sun Qian smiled slightly, signaling him to hurry into the city, Zhuang Shaoyou raised his feet and went to the direction of Luoyang City Gate, but after walking a few steps, Sima Boda stepped forward and saluted slightly: "Brother Tai, please stay, under Sima Boda, a single name is a Lang character, dare to ask Brother Tai's honorable name?" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was very surprised, why did someone talk to him just after he arrived here? What's his name? Sima Lang? What is the relationship with Sima Yi? There are no good people in the Sima family, and he doesn't want to provoke this kind of usurper master!

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at Sima Lang and said lightly: "Meet in Pingshui, passers-by!" A businessman in the lower district does not dare to discuss with Mr.! Farewell! ”

Sima Lang thought that he would win favor if he got together with good intentions, but he didn't expect this guy to have a really bad temper, people said that he didn't hit the smiling face person, and he actually refuted his face so much that he didn't even want to report his name!

Last night's stargazing, in the land of Luoyang, the stars are bright, the emperor star is dim, it is a game of tigers devouring dragons! So I had nothing to do, and I said that I met a noble person at the south ferry of the city this morning, so I came to give it a try! I didn't expect it to be such a result, it seems that my skill of divination is still lacking!

Could it be that I recognized the wrong person? The nobles have not yet arrived?

At this moment, another building ship came to the ferry wharf, the cabin was three stories high, which was larger than Zhuang Shaoyou's three warships, and this boat occupied nearly half of the river, which made people very worried about whether it would run aground!

Lou Boat slowly leaned towards the shore, Sima Lang's eyes lit up when he saw this, it seemed that he really recognized the wrong person! So he hurriedly left Zhuang Shaoyou and went to the direction of the building boat.

Sima Lang just walked a few steps, and took a closer look, isn't this the boat of the Hedong Wei family? No, although this Wei family is a nobleman, it is not so expensive that it will be displayed on the hexagram?

When Sima Lang was struggling, a young man walked down on the boat, about twenty years old, just and weakly crowned, dressed in white, wearing a jade ring around his waist, and with a graceful demeanor, he stepped off the boat, and then saw Sima Lang standing out from the crowd at a glance, and said with a happy face: "Brother Boda!" Why here? Could it be that my brother is so honored to be greeted by Brother Boda? ”

Originally, it was just a joke, but Sima Lang was very embarrassed, this kind of thing is not easy to explain, so he said perfunctorily: "It turned out to be Brother Zhongdao!" It's really a blessing, the little brother has nothing to do today, and he suddenly feels bored in the city, so he comes to this ferry early in the morning to breathe! ”

Sima Lang thought perfunctorily, this Wei Zhongdao is unlikely to be his nobleman, right? Don't? Yes! Could it be that person just now? Thinking of this, Sima Lang hurriedly said: "Brother Zhongdao, the junior brother is still in a hurry, so I will leave first!" ”

Wei Zhongdao was very happy to see Sima Lang, both of them are famous talents in this division, they have some common language, and they wanted to talk about elegance with Sima Lang, but they didn't expect him to leave in a hurry, it's a pity, Wei Zhongdao quickly cleaned up his mind and instructed Zhang Luo to start the matter on the ship, this time the family sent himself to escort the goods to Luoyang for sale, although he was very tired of business, but after all, it was the survival of the family, so he had to take care of one or two!

Zhuang Shaoyou, Sun Qian, and more than a dozen men came down to the south gate of Luoyang, and when they saw this extraordinary thousand-year-old capital, their hearts were surging.

Luoyang City, according to the mountain in the north, looking at Yique in the south, Luoshui runs through it, according to the tiger prison pass in the east, controlling Hanguguan in the west, surrounded by mountains, standing in a forest of Xiongguan, between the river and Luo, living in the middle of the world, the land of the Central Plains is thick and majestic, and the quality of the charming and charming water town in the south. Luoyang City is 30 miles long from east to west, 20 miles wide from north to south, the city is six feet high and two feet, tall and strong, it is the male city of the world, where 200,000 households, more than one million mouths! It is 12 times the size of Zhuang Shaoyou Liaonan City, and the population is 20 times larger!

"It's a bun that has never seen the world again! Move! Don't get in the way if you don't enter the city! When Zhuang Shaoyou looked at Luoyang City in front of him with emotion, there was an ugly sound of scolding from behind, Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly frowned, and several of his subordinates were about to do it when they saw this, but they were quickly stopped by Sun Gan.

"What? Do you still want to do it? You think this is your country? Tell you! This is Luoyang, at the foot of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, but there is a king's law! A middle-aged fat man wearing a silk brocade robe, saw Zhuang Shaoyou and others looking at him with unkind faces, and suddenly felt a little furious in his heart, but he still scolded him stiffly.

Zhuang Shaoyou shook his head and smiled, without words, he lifted his feet and walked towards the city gate, and Sun Qian motioned for everyone to hurry up.

"Stop!"

Zhuang Shaoyou was following the crowd to the city, but he saw a person who looked like him stopped him, and he was a little stunned, because the south city gate was connected to the dock, so it was crowded in the early morning, looking at the people around him who came and went freely, and then looked at the smug look on his face that stopped him, and suddenly his heart was clear.

Sun Gan, who was next to him, was the first to ask: "This military master, there are many people passing through this city gate, why did you stop us and others?" ”

Nashi Chang glanced at Sun Gan and said proudly: "The laws of the Han Dynasty stipulate that entering and leaving the capital must be inspected!" And it is strictly forbidden to carry weapons, I see that there are so many of you, all of you are carrying guys, very much like the Yellow Turban Yu Party! Someone, search me! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was a little angry when he heard it, but he still understood, not for anything else, two words: ask for money!

So he gestured to the entourage next to him, and the subordinate suddenly understood, stepped forward with a smile, took out a bag of five baht money from his pocket, and quietly handed it to Nashi Chang, and then muttered a few words in a low voice, Nashi Chang suddenly smiled: "You know each other!" Remember, this is the rule of Luoyang City! Outlanders have to be honest here! Let's go inside! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou just raised his feet to go inside, but another voice came from his ears: "Stop!" Who allowed you in!? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou's anger rose in his heart, why is this Luoyang City so difficult to enter? What the fuck is going on? Turning his head with an unkind face, he saw a man wearing the uniform of the commander of the army coming out of the city gate building, opening his mouth to stop everyone, staring at Zhuang Shaoyou, without waiting for Zhuang Shaoyou to answer, his subordinates immediately ran forward, and took out two bags of five baht coins and handed them over, the commander put away the two bags of money, checked them a few times, and said with a smile: "And the sword on that person's waist!" Lao Tzu has taken a fancy to it! As he spoke, he pointed to the saber on Zhuang Shaoyou's waist.

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled angrily: "I'm afraid you don't have that life!" ”

When the commander heard this, he was furious: "Presumptuous! Come! Arrest all these thieves for Lao Tzu! ”

The defenders at the gate of the city did not hesitate to surround them, Zhuang Shaoyou did not move, but more than a dozen subordinates instantly took out their weapons and surrounded Zhuang Shaoyou in the middle.

"It's against you! How dare you do it with Lao Tzu in Luoyang City? To tell you the truth, none of you want to leave today! Lao Tzu is General He's subordinate! You thieves, wait to be exterminated! What are you doing in a daze? Still hands-on? If you don't do it, you will be a fellow thief! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou's subordinates are all old men of the cavalry battalion carefully selected by Qinling, who followed Zhuang Shaoyou to fight thousands of miles, and experienced countless life-and-death battles to eliminate the remaining elites.

This Luoyang's city gate soldiers are not into the stream of miscellaneous old soldiers, a stinky problem, there is no combat effectiveness, hundreds of people were shocked by these dozen people and did not dare to act rashly, but after hearing the words of the commander, they had to look at each other, gritted their teeth and stepped forward to do it.

Zhuang Shaoyou was thinking in his heart, today is really not going well! Could it be that he hasn't entered the city yet, and this Luoyang trip is about to end early? It's embarrassing, isn't it? When I first came out, I was arrogant, but now I can't even get in and I go home, it's too embarrassing! No, even if you go back, you have to make some movement here!

Just when Zhuang Shaoyou was ruthlessly thinking about how to kill the commander of that dog day, and still be able to get out safely, a voice came: "Stop!" ”
