I don’t know how long the carriage was jolting. Yu Yi and Tang Zhou woke up from the car one after another. They gently opened the curtains and found that it was daytime outside. They had set off overnight. Tang Zhou asked the coachman. In fact, the carriage left. Julu City is only about a hundred miles away.
The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang, was southwest of Julu City, and further west was Chang'an. Yuyi felt that the closer he got to the capital, Luoyang, the better the official roads were built. Before, it was still a muddy road with many small stones on the road, making the carriage bumpy. , after entering the territory, there is no such feeling; and then there is the business situation on the road, some escort teams are coming in an endless stream, and you can hear someone greeting the coachman almost every once in a while. The most serious situation is the refugee situation. , Yu Yi felt that after passing a border, no refugees were found anymore. It seemed that politicians suppressed all these things in order to create an illusion and allow the emperor to play more comfortably.
After coming out of Julu City, Yu Yi had been thinking about Yin Tang Zhou Zhou. Their carriage came out overnight and was walking very fast. It was obvious that Zhang Jiao was very anxious about this matter and asked Tang Zhou to go there in person instead of The method of delivering letters shows that Zhang Jiao was also afraid of the incident coming to light.
"Brother Tang, I wonder if you have been to Luoyang?"
Yu Yi asked Tang Zhou who was also looking out the window.
Tang Zhou was absent-minded for a moment, but it took him a while to recover. He realized that Yuyi was calling him, and showed a little apology on his face, saying: "To tell you the truth, I have been poor since I was a child, and I have never made any mistakes when I help at home." After crossing the far gate, I saw this glorious scenery for the first time, and I felt a little lost."
"Brother Tang, what are you talking about? With your reputation in Julu City, you are already above a thousand people. Sooner or later, Julu City will be so wealthy."
Yu Yi patted Tang Zhou on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"Xiao Huang, where are we?"
Tang Zhou opened the curtain in front of the door and asked the coachman outside.
"Hey, we have passed Yecheng and entered Hanoi. Further ahead is Hulao Pass. The carriage will stop at the edge of the Yellow River. We have to cross the river by boat."
Xiao Huang truthfully reported the journey.
Yu Yi had no idea about ancient geography. He suddenly heard the coachman saying that he wanted to cross a river. He was a little confused and asked, "What river are you crossing?"
Xiao Huang smiled and said: "This river is the Yellow River!"
Yuyi suddenly felt very excited. As a person who has stayed at home for a long time, he has never seen the Yellow River in his whole life. This time can be regarded as a trip, but the transportation is a little different.
"What, what's the problem?"
Tang Zhou saw that Yu Yi seemed to have doubts, so he immediately stopped the carriage.
"Oops, Brother Tang misunderstood. I have lived in the mountains for a long time and don't know the world. I don't know anything about geography. I asked the coachman to learn something."
Yuyi smiled.
"I see, I wonder where you are?"
Tang Zhou asked the coachman to move on, and then chatted with Yu Yi.
"A certain person is from the south and lives in Jingzhou. I know that the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the two seas in our country, which nurture countless lives. I have seen a lot of the Yangtze River, but this is the first time I have seen the Yellow River, and I am a little excited."
Yuyi truthfully told her inner feelings.
"Luoyang is right on the edge of the Yellow River, and crops are irrigated. It is a fertile place. It is a pity that the current court does not cherish it properly, which makes the people suffer."
The coachman kept listening to the conversation between the two people outside, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Ahem!"
Tang Zhou interrupted the coachman's words, and the atmosphere fell into awkwardness for a moment.
Yu Yi closed his eyes so that Tang Zhou could not see what he was thinking, but he sighed in his heart: "You may say that you are brothers to me, but there are some things going on behind the scenes. How can you be a fool and not know about Zhang Jiao's things? Tang Zhou stopped the coachman because he was afraid that the conversation would go astray."
In fact, after Tang De introduced Yu Yi to Tang Zhou, the first topic they talked about was the Tao of Peace. Of course, Yu Yi didn't understand it. Tang Zhou taught him that Yu Yi had a high level of understanding and learned a lot. Kuai, in Tang Zhou's eyes, was a very good young talent and a loyal believer, but he never expected that all of this was Yu Yi's acting and all fake.
Once, Yu Yi asked the tailor shop about the purpose of making turbans. Tang Zhou's explanation was that the court needed to arm a group of troops who would all wear such turbans. Yu Yi also asked the reason why residents posted armor on their doors, explaining that it was the gods descending to earth. , benefiting the people. In short, Tang Zhou has been covering up. He just doesn't want Yu Yi to know the real thing. It's a pity that Yu Yi is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Later, Tang Zhou was regarded highly as Zhang Jiao's close disciple, and his position in the Julucheng County Yamen was getting higher and higher. This was definitely dissatisfying to some old people, such as Wei Gang, but it was not easy to exclude them openly. , so he secretly used the trap. Tang Zhou was simple by nature and not good at scheming. After being punished several times, he told Yu Yi everything. It was Yu Yi who tried to maintain his position. It was the same way, allowing Yu Yi to take steps one step at a time. Gained Tang Zhou's trust.
Except for Zhang Jiao's rebellion, Tang Zhou told Yu Yi almost everything. Of course, Yu Yi knew the true purpose of the report this time, but Tang Zhou was covering it up.
Seeing that Yuyi didn't speak and closed his eyes, thinking that the other party was tired, Tang Zhou said: "The boat ride will be bumpy after a while, so it's good to take a rest."
Then the carriage fell into silence again, leaving only the sound of the whip and the turning of the carriage wheels.
Finally, after nightfall, the carriage entered Hulao Pass and stayed at the local inn, preparing to leave the next day.
The two of them cleaned up and got off the carriage, entered the inn, found a seat and sat down, and started to order. They hesitated that Tang Zhou would pay the bill, so Yu Yi never had to be polite, and he would not take advantage of the public. occupy.
"Hey, have you heard that some pirates have appeared in this area recently, specializing in stealing people's money, and many merchants have lost their lives."
The middle-aged man at the table next to him said to the side, his voice was very low, but Yu Yi and the others still heard him.
"Oh, it's so scary. Luoyang is right across the street, and the center of the imperial court is there, but no one cares about it. Is there any natural justice?"
The other person had a bitter look on his face, probably troubled by this matter.
"Brother Tang, what do you think?"
Yu Yi asked Tang Zhou on the other side because this matter affected everyone's travel and he needed an idea.
"What else can we do? We can only wait and see!"
The coachman, Xiao Huang, took a mouthful of rice and raised his head to interject.
"I didn't expect that this last step would encounter difficulties. Now we are unfamiliar with the place. If we encounter thieves on the Yellow River, it doesn't matter whether we die or not. We can't miss something important!"
Tang Zhou stood up suddenly, seeming very annoyed at the sudden trouble.
