Chapter 12 Luoyang
Luoyang
Luoyang has the most prosperous flowers in spring, and there are hundreds of thousands of houses in the shade of red and green. Luoyang was praised by Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty.
Luoyang was called the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
It was noon when the convoy of the three of them arrived at Luoyang City. The three of them got out of the car and were stunned by the huge city in front of them.
Although Li Zhi has seen many high-rise buildings, this is the first time he has seen this kind of city wall spanning several miles or even dozens of miles.
"How can such a wall be conquered? How did those who occupied this city fail?"
"Don't look at it. I'll talk about it later when we get to town."
Li Zhi was the first to come to his senses and said to the two people who were still in a daze.
Although it is early summer and noon, the weather is hot.
But at the gate of Luoyang City, there were still bustling crowds, going in and out, and there were two teams of soldiers standing meticulously on both sides of the city gate.
"Drive... drive..."
"Lord, be careful"
At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of riding a horse. Yang Ying shouted to be careful and dragged Li Zhi aside.
But it turned out that there was a person riding a horse from behind them at high speed, and almost hit Li Zhi.
The soldiers guarding the city gate just glanced at it and ignored it, but the man who looked like the leader had an aura on his face.
"Brother, is everything okay?"
Guo Jiaxi and Zhicai were concerned about it together.
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry, you two. Zhi was not injured, thanks to Boxiong."
Yang Ying patted her head naively and said with a smile: "It is Ying's duty to protect the Lord."
At this time, Li Zhi, with doubts and curiosity, asked the soldiers next to him who were full of atmosphere.
"Who is this soldier riding the horse just now? Why didn't you stop him?"
"Young master, please forgive me. This matter is our fault. This person is Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao, the direct son of the Yuan family. The Yuan family has greeted our superior officials, and we can't stop him."
Having said this, the man's face was full of self-mockery.
"Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongli, why did he go out of the city alone? Why didn't any servants or generals follow him?"
"Yuan Shu doesn't like to study, but he likes to form a society and become a knight. Every day, he hangs out with a group of people outside the city who call themselves knights, which makes the people nearby complain. However, the nearby officials are all disciples of the Yuan family. Although the people have complaints in their hearts,
But I dare to be angry but dare not speak."
"But Yuan Shu thinks he is so majestic, so he does it every day... My superiors have all said hello to me and not allowed me to take care of him, but I have neglected my duty."
There was three parts bitterness, three parts dissatisfaction, three parts self-deprecation, and one part helplessness on his face.
"That's it. Thank you very much for clarifying the doubts. I would like to inform Li Xingzhi,
People from Yangzhai County, Yingchuan, would you like to ask me your surname?"
Li Zhi looked at the man in front of him. He was majestic and extraordinary. He was tall and tall, with a cold air, but he acted very kindly, so he wanted to make friends.
"I don't dare to honor you. I am Xu Huang from the east of Hedong, and my cursive character is Gongming."
"Xu Gongming?"
Li Zhi screamed in surprise.
"Young Master, do you know Gong Ming?" Xu Huang asked when he saw him so surprised.
"Um... I have little financial resources, so I recruited some victims. I heard from some victims in Hedong."
Li Zhi knew that he was too excited and said with an embarrassed smile.
"Young Master is righteous! I admire you so much."
When Xu Huang heard him say that he had attracted some victims, he said in awe.
"Now that Huang is on official business, it is inconvenient for him to drink. When Huang is off duty, would you like to get drunk with Huang?"
Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this. Isn't this a great opportunity to make friends with Xu Huang?
"Good, that's it. I'll have a servant wait here for Brother Gongming."
Although he still wanted to chat with Xu Huang a few more words, he had something to do now, so he apologized to Xu Huang
"I know there are still important things to do. It's not convenient for us to talk more openly, so I'll take my leave first."
"It doesn't matter, Akira also has a public official position."
"Farewell"
Li Zhi left a servant behind and gave him some instructions, and then the three of them entered the city. They waited until the three of them entered Luoyang City.
Looking at the bustling streets, there were so many new things happening that the three of them were a bit dazzled.
At this time, Guo Jia calmed down and curiously asked Li Zhizhi: "Brother, why do you think so highly of that person just now?"
"Oh? How can I meet you?"
Li Zhi looked at Guo Jia playfully and asked with a hint of examination.
Guo Jia rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Brother, don't underestimate Jia."
"When my brother left, he not only left a servant waiting for the man, but also asked Yang Ying to stay and take care of him secretly."
"How can you not take it seriously if you act like this?"
Li Zhi heard Guo Jia's words and nodded with satisfaction.
"My dear brother, you will know in the future. As a brother, it is not convenient for me to say more now."
"However, many friends mean many paths, so a good brother should just make one more friend for his brother."
Li Zhi said slightly perfunctorily.
"Brother, since I don't want to say anything, I just won't ask."
Guo Jia replied calmly.
Xi Zhicai on the side seemed to see something, but didn't say much.
While they were chatting and walking forward, a person came from the opposite side.
Judging from which household they were dressed as servants, when the other party saw the three of them, his eyes lit up, he saluted Xi Zhicai, and then said
"My surname is Xi?"
"I am a loyal and talented actor. Who are you and why do you know me?"
Xi Zhicai replied.
"The villain is a servant of the Xun family. When the young master was studying in the Xun family, the villain met the young master."
"This time, my young master asked the villain to wait here to guide the way when the opera master comes."
"In that case, you can lead the way."
After Xi Zhi finished speaking, the servant raised his hand, said "please", and led the way.
After walking not far, they stopped in front of a mansion in the east of the city. The door of the mansion was wide open, and there was a person standing at the door, looking at the three of them with a smile.
I saw that this man was about thirty years old, with some beard, a handsome face, and his clothes were clean and tidy. Just standing there, there was an air of elegance rushing towards him.
"This must be Xun, right? What a rich and handsome man!"
Li Zhi applauded him in his heart.
Just as Li Zhi was sizing him up, Xun was also sizing up the three of them.
Xi Zhicai didn't need to say much. Although he wasn't familiar with Guo Jia, he had already known about it and had seen him before. He looked at the stranger Li Zhi.
I saw Li Zhi wearing a plain robe and a hat on his head (I really can't find out what hats were called in the Han Dynasty. If anyone knows, please contact me). He was about eight feet tall, burly and handsome.
, with extraordinary temperament, free and easy expression, and smiling face, it is easy for people to fall in love with him at a glance.
"The presence of three great masters will bring glory to the humble house. Please come."
Xun first saluted and then said politely.
"please"
The three of them entered the Xun Mansion one by one. After the three of them were seated, Xi Zhi spoke first.
"Zhongxian introduced him to Wen Ruo. This is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. Wen Ruo must have heard that the talent of being filial is a hundred times better than being loyal."
"Brother Zhicai is so complimentary. Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao have met Brother Wenruo."
After speaking, Guo Jia first bowed to Xun.
"It's more polite to be filial, and this is polite."
Xun replied with a salute.
"This is Li Zhi and Li Xingzhi, the sworn brother of Guo Jia. Xing's brother is decisive in his actions and constantly comes up with fantastic ideas. He is also a man of great talent."
Xi Zhicai looked at Li Zhi and introduced Xun.
"Brother Zhicai has received a great award. Compared with Brother Zhicai, he is far behind in terms of talent. Li knows that Li Xingzhi has met Brother Wenruo."
Li Zhi was humble for a moment and then said.
"I've seen brother Xing behave politely."
Xun said and returned the gift.
