Back to the Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Ruoxue sent away Chen Lang and Guan Yu and returned to the hall. At this time, there was one more person in the hall, with a snow-skinned palace costume, a beautiful appearance, somewhat similar to Zhuge Ruoxue, but with an elegant and quiet temperament. Although he was in the mortal dust, he did not provoke the dust, just like a **** of heaven. Concubine, beyond the world.

When Zhuge Ruoxue saw the woman, she immediately exclaimed with joy: "Sister!" She shouted and ran up. It turns out that this unparalleled beauty is officially Zhuge Liang's eldest sister, Zhuge Mengxue.

Zhuge Mengxue asked, "Is that General Yingyang gone?" Zhuge Ruoxue nodded, and then smiled: "I don't know where he heard about Kong Ming, so he ran away in person. Meeting Kong Ming, I really laughed!" Zhuge Mengxue thought: "I heard this man talk differently, not something in the pool!" Zhuge Ruoxue said indifferently: "After all, it's just an official in the court. It's nothing, nothing great!"

Zhuge Mengxue shook her head and raised her head. The star-like eyes looked at the sky outside the door and muttered: "Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has subsided, the big man is already full of holes and wants to recover. Unless there is a king who has the talents of heaven and latitude in charge of the court! However, the current situation of the court is really worse! If there is no miracle, I predict that the court will inevitably change in two or three years at most! At that time, I am afraid. The mountains and rivers fell apart, and a huge chaos came!"

Zhuge Ruoxue couldn't help but her expression changed, and said, "Will the situation really become like that?" Zhuge Mengxue sighed and said, "I hope my prediction is wrong!" The two women fell silent.

Zhuge Mengxue saw Zhuge Ruoxue holding a folded letter paper in her hand, so she asked, "That is the letter from General Ying Yang to Kong Ming?"

Zhuge Ruoxue glanced at the letter paper in her hand and curiously said: "I don't know what he said in the letter, so let's open it and take a look." Then she opened the letter paper. Zhuge Mengxue hurriedly stopped: "No! This is a letter from General Ying Yang to Kong Ming. Although you and I are sisters, you must not peek at it!" Zhuge Ruoxue stuck out her tongue and did not dare to read it.

A handmaid rushed in and said anxiously; "Master suddenly coughs violently, it's terrible! The two young ladies go and have a look!" The two girls were shocked, and they couldn't take care of other things immediately, and they hurried towards Ran behind.

After Chen Lang and Guan Yu left the cottage of Zhuge's family, they returned along the path. Guan Yu couldn't help saying: "Brother, Zhuge Liang is no more than a fourteen-five-year-old boy. Why should he value him so much?" Chen Lang laughed and said, "Inherited talent has nothing to do with age! Wasn't Gan Luo the 12-year-old worshiper?" Guan Yu was taken aback, still disapproving in his heart, but didn't know how to refute it.

When someone came to the wine shop, Chen Lang planned to talk to Sima Hui again, but when he entered the wine shop, he found that Sima Hui had already left. Chen Lang had to take Guan Yu back to camp.

A day later, Chen Lang led his army to the north, and 15,000 soldiers and horses went north along the official road, passing Nanyang and driving directly to Luoyang. After more than half a month, the army arrived near Luoyang. The imperial minister of the emperor stopped the army and read the imperial decree, so that Chen Lang's Yingyang army was stationed in Mianchi County in the western suburbs of Luoyang, and Chen Lang entered the palace alone. Chen Lang ordered his generals to lead the army to station in Mianchi, while he only took dozens of entourages to follow the imperial envoy to Luoyang.

Before entering Luoyang City, I saw a huge city entrenched on the south bank of the Yellow River from a distance, with countless buildings stretched out, countless towers stand up, and you can't even see the end at a glance! What kind of giant city is this? I'm afraid that there will not be many cities in future generations that can compare with it in terms of floor space! You can imagine that nearly one million people live in almost bungalow courtyards, and there are also many palaces and official mansions with a very large area. How big the area will be! That is absolutely beyond imagination!

Entering Luoyang City, a prosperous atmosphere immediately rushed into the face. Pedestrians on the street drove one after another, caravans transporting goods, and the flags of the shops on both sides fluttered into clouds in the wind, and the shouts of hawkers echoed one after another in the air. Jingzhou is already a very prosperous city, but compared with Luoyang, it is nothing short of it!

Chen Lang followed the imperial commissioner to the side of the palace, and saw many huge buildings lined up in an orderly manner and the weather was magnificent. At the gate of the palace, the imperial minister asked Chen Lang to wait, and went in by himself.

Chen Lang waited for almost an hour before the imperial minister came out slowly and said: "Your Majesty has orders, so you won't receive the general alone. Please come back, the general, and then enter the palace in the morning two days later." Chen The wolf clasped his fist and said: "Accepted. He turned and left!"

Chen Lang walked on the street, admiring the urban landscape of Luoyang. At this time, Chen Lang discovered that Luoyang was not only prosperous, but there were pleasing landscapes along the street, or a wood, or a small lake. Later generations had to go to the park to see the landscape, but it was everywhere. The beautiful landscape of nature is perfectly integrated with the whole city! Chen Lang couldn't help feeling a little: I am afraid that ancient Chinese cities are really suitable for people to live in. Those industrial cities that have emerged during the wave of industrialization may have gone astray!

auzw.com Just as Chen Lang was thinking about everything, a loud noise pulled Chen Lang's thoughts back. Chen Lang followed the prestige and saw a large group of people surrounded by a big willow tree not far away. It was very noisy and didn't know what had happened. Chen Lang walked over with curiosity.

Coming out of the crowd, I saw a young woman kneeling on the ground surrounded by the crowd, with an eight or nine-year-old boy in her arms, looking sickly. The young woman was crying, and a few guys who looked like ruffians were insulting the young woman. A ruffian smiled breathlessly: "Isn't it easy to ask for money? I sleep with the son for a few nights, and I'll give you fifty taels of silver!" Another ruffian grinned and said, "We have five people. If you sleep with the five of us for a few nights, you will have five good husbands. Everyone will give you five taels of silver, and you will have twenty-five taels of silver. How is it?" The other ruffians all laughed. The crowd onlookers felt very angry, but they all dared not speak.

Chen Lang asked an old man next to him: "Old man, what is going on?"

The old man sighed and said: "Poor! This Cui Niang family was originally very happy. Cui Niang's man was originally an officer in the Yulin Army, and he was very kind to Cui Niang's mother and her son! But there are unexpected circumstances, Cui Niang's. The men died in the war to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion not long ago, leaving behind their orphans and widows, life has become very difficult! Not long ago, Cui Niang’s child was seriously ill, and Cui Niang was unable to, so she was ready to sell her as a slave. In exchange for the cost of treating the child's illness. But I didn't expect to encounter those **** things!" The old man looked very angry in the last sentence, but lowered his voice.

Chen Lang frowned and asked; "Isn't there a pension for the court? The pension for officers is higher, so how can life be difficult?"

The old man took a look at Chen Lang and said, "You should be an officer too, why don't you know about the court. Although the court has pensions, I am afraid that the pensions are close to the pockets of the ten permanent attendants. Where will they really be paid? Come down!"

Chen Lang's face was thoughtful.

At this moment, the ruffians went forward to pull the young woman named Cui Niang and tried to drag him away. The young woman cried and called for mercy with a very stern voice. However, the young woman's weeping did not exchange the mercy of the other party at all, but made the other party even more tyrannical!

Chen Lang couldn't bear it anymore, and he cried out: "Stop!" As if thundering shook the audience, the scene immediately became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on him.

Cui Niang saw Chen Lang in military uniform, she immediately became excited and cried out: "General help! General help!" She was different from the old man just now. Her husband was an officer in the Yulin army, so she recognized Chen. The armor of the wolf was not the armor of an ordinary officer, but the armor of a general. At this moment, she seemed to see hope in despair and immediately called for help.

The head of the ruffian didn't know what he was doing, and shouted at Chen Lang arrogantly: "Do you know who Grandpa is? If you offend me, you don't want to be an official!"

Chen Lang stepped forward, raised his right hand and punched the ruffian. The ruffian's face immediately flew around like a dye shop, and fell to the ground with a scream, making a scream like a pig! The other scumbags were startled, and subconsciously wanted to step forward to help. However, when they saw Chen Lang's murderous eyes, they couldn’t help but feel terrified. They didn’t dare to do anything at all. Escaped! The onlookers clapped their hands and applauded after seeing this scene.

Chen Lang walked to Cui Niang and helped Cui Niang up. I looked at the child she was pregnant, and felt that the child was really seriously ill! Chen Lang took out a silver ingot of fifty taels from her arms and stuffed it into her hand, and said, "Heal the child, don't think about selling yourself!" Cui Niang was grateful.

Chen Lang turned around and returned to the Black Dragon, rolled over and rode up, leading a group of soldiers. Seeing that there was nothing to watch, the onlookers scattered.

When Chen Lang and his party were approaching the gate of the city, a soldier suddenly pointed to the back and said: "General, the woman is catching up with her child with her baby."

Chen Lang stopped the black dragon, turned around and looked around, and saw that the woman named Cui Niang was catching up with her child in her arms, panting. Chen Lang frowned and raised his voice: "If you don't hurry up to treat the child, why are you chasing me?"

Cui Niang knelt on the ground holding her child, knocked her head three times, and said with infinite gratitude: "The general is so kind, and the women are not worthy of retribution. I wish to repay the general as a slave and a maidservant!"
