Cao Yun looked at Gan Ning, and saw that there was a hint of reddish gas mixed with Gan Ning's humane white qi, and his heart moved. This is the humane spirit that can become an official, and it seems that this person has some luck, and this luck may increase over time.

"Your name is Gan Ning, do you have a font name?" Cao Yunchao asked Gan Ning, who was kneeling in front of him.

Hearing this, Gan Ning hurriedly nodded and said, "The small word Xingba." ”

"Xingba, good name!" Cao Yun praised, "In today's troubled times, it is the time to employ people, and I don't care that you have been a thief, so I will take you under my account and be a sideman first." However, you should not have any evil thoughts in the future, I am not a benevolent person, if you do something wrong again, I will definitely kill you. Cao Yun said sharply.

Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, and now he kowtowed a few more times, and Pang Shiyuan, who was behind, saw that Cao Yun accepted Gan Ning, smiled slightly, and felt that Cao Yun still had a magnanimity. Zhang Zixi was also very happy to see Cao Yun subduing Gan Ning, although he didn't know how powerful the Dao Martial Arts Master was, but to be the leader of these bandits, it wouldn't be too bad to think about it, I hope this person can follow Cao Yun with peace of mind in the future.

Cao Yun accepted Gan Ning, but the rest of the thieves were dumbfounded, and they didn't know whether to leave or stay for a while, so they were stunned. Seeing the dazed appearance of those bandits, Cao Yun said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, you go and ask your brothers, if they are willing to join my Qingzhou army, I can send a sergeant to lead them to Qingyang City and let them join our army." ”

Hearing this, Gan Ning knelt in front of Cao Yun again, "Thank you, sir." Cao Yun immediately motioned to Gan Ning to explain to those bandits.

Gan Ning then explained Cao Yun's intentions to those bandits, and these bandits were naturally very happy and promised to join the Qingzhou Army. These bandits also look like thousands of people, which can be regarded as a small force, and with time training, they can go to the battlefield. In today's troubled times, these small forces can be gathered together to become a strong force!

After Cao Yun assigned a sergeant to lead these bandits to Qingyang City, he continued to advance with his group and went straight to Luoyang.

Six days later, the group finally arrived outside Luoyang City. The sky over Luoyang City was a little hazy, and there was not much sunlight to be seen. The earth in spring is not as vibrant as in previous years, but rather a little dead.

Looking at the largest city in the Ming Kingdom, looking at the majestic, grandiose, and solemn city walls, Cao Yun gently jumped forward, and said proudly: "I want to build the national capital after the ancestor Liu Ji, who started in white clothes, and founded the Ming Kingdom. When the Luoyang City was completed, Gao Zu personally climbed to the top of the city tower and chanted loudly, 'The world is in my chest, and the starry sky is in my hands.' The ancients are peerless, and the long river runs through the sword sky. 'What a spirit. A hundred years ago, when the poet Song Wen first entered this Kyoto, he also wrote in front of this castle tower '100,000 city wall stones, a hundred legends of pride.' A man is a man and dares to ask the world. What a sense of ambition this is. ”

Pang Shiyuan saw that Cao Yun was so interested, and gently jumped to Cao Yun's side, "I see that Brother Cao is full of pride at this time, and there seems to be Lingyun in his chest, it is better to compose a poem, spit out his ambition in his heart, and wait for Brother Cao to become famous in all directions in the future, and this poem must be sung by future generations." ”

Cao Yunha said with a smile: "I think it's better to write poems, and it is the royal way to let future generations sing my stories and compose poems for me." Then he rode towards the city gate. Pang Shiyuan, Zhang Zixi, Gan Ning and a group of sergeants followed closely behind Cao Yun.

There were no more refugees outside Luoyang City, and they had long been expelled by the order of the general He Jin. Cao Yun led a group of people into Luoyang City, and was immediately attracted by the prosperity of Luoyang. Zhang Zixi and others have never seen such a prosperous city, and Cao Yun has never seen such a prosperous ancient city, where can what they see from the TV series when they are on earth compare with what they see in reality.

The national capital is the national capital after all, and it really has a different atmosphere, even if there is a dead air outside the city, the city is full of life, and it seems that the remnants of the essence of heaven and earth are gathered here. After entering the city, Cao Yun looked around, and the city was bustling, with intersecting streets and uneven houses. Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion. Cao Yun saw that some bridges were carved with some exquisite flowers and strange beasts, which looked incomparably gorgeous. The eaves in the city were high, and Cao Yun felt like a bird's beak flying in the air. The pavilions are high and low, as dense as a beehive, making it difficult to distinguish between east and west, north and south.

There are many willow trees in the city, some of which are very stout and have a history of many years, and there are many poems about willows every spring. There are two rivers passing through Luoyang City, and the intersection of these two rivers in the city is the place where Luoyang City's painting boats are concentrated, and there are also many pavilions and willow trees on both sides of the river.

Cao Yun walked on the street, feeling the prosperity, he thought of the barren villages he saw along the way, and thought of some rotting corpses on the side of the road, and he felt infinite emotion for a while. Under the same sky, prosperity and barrenness are also a strong separation.

Cao Yun found an inn in the city, and the plaque at the door of the inn read the four characters of Longyuan Inn, which was extremely atmospheric. Longyuan Inn is one of the three largest inns in Luoyang City, and it can accommodate two or three thousand people. Seeing that Cao Yun was coming, the innkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to make arrangements, led everyone's horses to the backyard of the inn, and then arranged rooms for everyone. Cao Yun and Zhang Zixi and Pang Shiyuan were in separate rooms, but Gan Ning and the sergeants were four people in one room.

After arranging the room, Cao Yun asked the innkeeper to prepare some meals, and ate in the front hall of the inn.

Cao Yun looked over and saw a group of sergeants walking in with a young showman in their arms, which immediately attracted Cao Yun's attention.

This Xiushi was just wearing an ordinary scholar's green shirt, not a Confucian robe, and he only wore a turban on his head at random, his face was very delicate, and his eyes were extremely clear and deep. Cao Yun's heart moved, and he wanted to take a look at the Humane Hope Qi Technique, but at this moment, the young Xiushi also turned his gaze and smiled at Cao Yun, who also smiled back. This meeting of eyes made Cao Yun feel that the young Xiushi in front of him was someone who shared some common ideas with him. Many times, there are people who have never spoken or even know each other, but always look at each other when they meet. Because they exude some of the same aura from each other, they resonate in their hearts.

After glancing at the young showman, Cao Yun moved his gaze, and then noticed that a military general behind the young showman was very burly, with a full beard and a bearish appearance.

"Shopkeeper, arrange a room for us, and then get some food, this front hall can't sit down, is there still a place?" asked the young Xiushi to a fellow, and his words were extremely polite.

"Don't worry, guest officer, there is a place, and there are still some people sitting upstairs. The innkeeper bowed in front of the young showman and said, with a humble smile on his face.

The young showman smiled and nodded, "It's troublesome." ”

Immediately, the innkeeper led the young showman and some of the sergeants up, and the remaining part of the sergeants were on this floor, and there were a few empty tables on the first floor.

Cao Yun then paid attention to the words of the sergeants, who spoke loudly. Of course, the sergeants who escorted him were all eating quietly, after all, Cao Yun was next to him, and he still didn't dare to make a noise.

Then Cao Yun looked at Pang Shiyuan beside him, Pang Shiyuan understood, and whispered: "Brother Cao, judging from the accents of these sergeants, they should be from Xuzhou." ”

"Xuzhou? Xuzhou Mu is Cao De, who will the young Xiushi be?" Cao Yun muttered to himself, while looking towards the second floor.
