Chapter 118 Chang'an (2)
Chang'an means long-term peace and stability. When he left King Wen of Zhou, he established his capital here. In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Chang'an County was established. It was one of the two most important cities in the distant life of the Han Dynasty. It carried many stories in this time. People's lives at that time witnessed the rise and fall of a dynasty.
In the soft light of the morning, after Dong Zhuo's death, he experienced a hasty war. In the ruins next to the ancient building, the new buildings rising from the ground, the young and strong shouting, the gradually lively streets, carriages passed by. The loud bargaining of pedestrians amid the shouts of vendors on both sides of the streets, gave the ancient city a vitality again. After entering the city gate, Li Heizi and Han Long widened their eyes and saw the prosperous age belonging to the world.
In the early morning, the city wakes up in the noise.
Walking through the bustling streets, there were gadgets and food from the north and south in front of various shouting stalls, and there were also strange things from the Western Regions that had never seen before. Although the purpose of the two of them was clear on this trip, it was still early, and there was still enough time for the two who had never seen the world to stroll around.
The morning hours passed quickly, and Li Heizi sent a piece of cake to the young man, squatted in the corner of the street and watched the endless crowd, and ate a few bites, "This is really a world of flowers... If we weren't used to suffering, we really didn't want to leave."
"There are many good things... If it is placed in the north, I will take my brothers over and grab it." The dry and hard rice cakes were chewing in his mouth. Han Long looked at the colorful satin in the shop across the street without blinking, "... It will definitely look good when put on Ah Qing."
"Aqing? Is that woman you helped out last time?" Li Heizi took a sip of water from the sheepskin bag, and the wrinkles on his face became even more wrinkled. He smiled and said, "Are you married?"
Over there, he nodded very simply: "She has nothing to rely on, I don't want her to die..."
"Well, it's done well!" Li Heizi reached out and rubbed his head as if he was looking at his nephew: "...It's not easy for men to live in this world, let alone women... You and the leader are short, but don't worry, maybe in the future, we can also wear these good clothes and sway from here in a carriage."
"Ah... the leader wants to be the emperor..."
Li Heizi raised his foot and kicked him: "Just think about it in my heart, don't say it out... Damn, who can tell me about the future... I won't talk about it anymore. Eat quickly, it's time to do something after eating."
"Um!"
The sunlight became bright and bright. After the two of them left here after eating, Li Heizi was older, and naturally had a steady experience than the young Han Long, and had more knowledge. He inquired about others intentionally or unintentionally. Before it got dark, he found the noble and noble Wang Yun mansion, and a servant came out with a candle.
When the lantern was hung on the door of the mansion, a carriage came from a distance from the distance in their sight. They pretended to be pedestrians and left from the side. In the aftermath, the shaft of the car stopped, and a slim figure dragged a long skirt from above. The hundred people around were all women holding guns and knives, and the woman who was protecting her came straight into the mansion.
After passing through the spacious courtyard in the mansion, and then passing through the corridor and heading to the study in the backyard, the old man was reviewing some government affairs. He raised his head when he heard the sound of the door opening, and put down his pen, "...What about your Majesty?"
The woman who came over handed the red cloak to the female guard behind her and found a place on the side to sit down: "Your Majesty is naturally safe, but you have not recovered from Dong Zhe's tyranny yet, and you are probably already asleep at this time."
"Ah... Your Majesty suffered this great disaster at a young age. In the future, he will understand that the country is hard-won." Wang Yun sighed and looked at the woman: "Hongchang, it's just a pain for you. It's useless to be a father... Although some people in the Xiliang army surrendered, loyalty is hard to see. Lu Bu is just a sharp weapon in his hand, but he is not a good general. The guard can only rely on you, a woman."
The moth squeezed into the crack in the window and flew towards the candle in front of the woman, then fell on several tables. The soft white fingers gently digged the dead insects. Ren Hongchang raised his head and bounced the corpse out with one finger. "In fact, Hongchang didn't feel bitter. On the contrary, he felt that his decision was right."
She pulled her hand back, and she brushed her broad sleeves, got up and walked around in her long skirt for a few steps, turned her head and looked at the old man, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Entertainment Father... Think about this world, how sad a woman's fate is. Life and death are all due to men's joys and anger. Hongchang is living a good life now, not being bullied by others, instead of just making a foil and beautiful clothes like all women, so that the man can wear it on, take it off, or give it to others. He is worn on different men, old and broken, and then throw it to the side of the road, and let the beggar pick it up, and in the end there is no left of the scum..."
"Enough!"
Behind the long case, the old man suddenly shouted loudly, pursing his lips tightly at the woman: "...These thoughts... are simply nonsense. Where can a woman talk like you."
The lotus steps lightly, and the long skirt stroked across the ground. Ren Hongchang stood in front of the old man, opened his red lips and uttered seductive but cold words: "But my daughter did something that all men in the world can't do...Did the adoptive father agree?"
"You..." Wang Yun took a angrily and trembled with white beards. He said a word, swallowed the words afterwards, then closed his eyes and eased his tone: "Forget it, now Guo Si, Li Jue and other rebel generals are coming to attack the city soon. There are still many things to do for his father. You go and rest first..." As he said that, he waved his hand and sat back behind the long case.
On the other side, the woman looked at the old man who picked up the pen again, snorted in her nose, turned around and brushed her sleeves, opened the door and walked out. The female soldier who was waiting covered her cloak on her shoulder and walked away with her step with a knife.
The mansion slowly became quiet. A night patrol servant walked through the corridor under the sight of the guards and turned to the garden behind. The wind whimpered across the surrounding trees, and the moonlight cast a cool light on the ground. He turned his head in fear and then accelerated his pace. The grass nearby moved slightly, as if something was crawling.
The servant shone over with a lantern, and the blades of grass were pushed away. A moment when a face suddenly appeared, his figure passed through the coldness of the moonlight. His big hands covered his mouth and neck with a light sound in the night. The head and body were distorted exaggeratedly, and the lantern fell to the ground.
In the dim sky, the attacking figure dragged the body into the grass. After a while, Han Long, dressed in a domestic servant, picked up a lantern from the ground and continued patrolling the night.
***************************
Going far east and gathered more than 100,000 people in the Xiliang army rushed over. Shortly after Xu Rong arrived in Xinfeng in the morning and settled the camp, Guo Si and Li Jue did not send messengers to persuade him, and rushed towards him directly. Only Xu Rong understood that in the entire Xiliang army, he was the only one who was not from Xiliang, so the other party would naturally not be nostalgic.
"Be careful that Hu Zhen will turn against the enemy and strengthen surveillance on his side." After Li Ru's reminder, Xu Rong always cared about this matter.
