Yanshi County.
"Ten miles outside the city, meet at the bank of Luoshui River?" Zhang Heng asked.
Taishi Ci nodded and said: "Yes, this is what the Taiwei and the late general agreed upon."
"Now that we have the time and place, the rest will be easy to handle. It's been very hard for Ziyi to travel all the way. Let's go and rest first. Let's set off tomorrow." Zhang Heng said with a smile.
"I will retire at the end." Tai Shici cupped his hands and said.
After Tai Shici left, Zhang Heng began to sit at his desk and meditate.
With uncle Zhang Wen taking over, it should be no problem to enter the city.
I just don't know what the situation is like in Luoyang City, and whether I and others can leave safely.
Furthermore, Zhang Heng had other plans. When I come to Luoyang, I always feel unwilling to do something if I don't do something.
But he was afraid that Li Ru's old silver coin would notice him, and then he would have more fun.
Needless to say, Zhang Heng knew that his uncle Zhang Wen must have lost real power at this time, and if he really wanted to cause trouble, he would probably have to rely on himself.
I just don’t know what the current situation is of the hidden weapon I buried.
Thinking about it, Zhang Heng picked up his pen and wrote two names on the paper, one was Li Ru and the other was...Xu Rong.
…
Three days later, outside Luoyang City, on the shore of Luoshui River.
Zhang Wen took his people out of the city early in the morning and arrived at the agreed place to wait for Zhang Heng.
In fact, he had not been idle in the past three days. After seeing off Tai Shici that day, he walked out of the mansion for the first time in a long time and went directly to the palace. The purpose was funny to say the least. He went around trying to smoothen relationships and claimed that he wanted to find a minister for his nephew.
Although he had no real power in his hands, after all, he was still a Taiwei, one of the three princes. In addition, what he wanted was just a small official, so Shangshutai did not deliberately embarrass him and agreed casually.
It was just that after all this commotion, almost everyone in the court knew the news - Captain Zhang Wen's poor relative was coming to Luoyang, so Zhang Wen was willing to go out and sacrifice his old face to seek an official position for the descendants of his family.
So everyone secretly laughed at Zhang Wen, and the matter even spread to Li Ru's ears.
But Li Ru didn't pay attention. This kind of thing happens every day. Since ancient times, people who seek power for personal gain are like crucian carp crossing the river. It's not unusual to have Zhang Wen.
Then today, Zhang Wen left Luoyang City with great fanfare. When he went back, it was natural that he would have a poor relative by his side.
When Zhang Heng arrived, Zhang Wen had been waiting for a long time.
Relying on the memory of the original owner, Zhang Heng naturally recognized Zhang Wen immediately and quickly dismounted and trotted over.
"My nephew meets my uncle!"
Zhang Heng bowed respectfully.
Zhang Wen, on the other hand, couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he looked at his nephew.
The last time we met, Zhang Heng was just over ten years old, but now he has grown up and even started a career, which makes people feel that time is running like water.
"Ziyi, get up quickly!" Zhang Wen stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Heng up, "My dear nephew, you shouldn't have come to Luoyang."
"But my nephew is already here." Zhang Heng said with a smile, "When I first participated in the alliance to challenge Dong, my nephew boldly took on the banner of my uncle. Now of course he has to come to take my uncle out."
"That's true, but..."
Halfway through Zhang Wen's words, he could only sigh helplessly, waved his hands and said: "That's all, now that you're here, it's useless to talk about it. Let's go and follow me to the city."
"only!"
Zhang Heng nodded.
On the way, Zhang Wen told Zhang Heng about his operations, but Zhang Heng frowned.
Since we are afraid of arousing others' suspicion, we should simply give Zhang Heng'an an identity and expose him to the sun openly.
Zhang Wen's move is not unwise. but……
You also have to look at your opponent’s rank!
The most dangerous thing is the safest. Zhang Heng naturally understands the so-called darkness under the light.
But this trick may not work for Li Ru!
Who is Li Ru? He would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
The best way is to enter the city quietly without attracting his attention from beginning to end. Once he catches his eye, he will kill you with one blow, regardless of whether you are real or fake.
After all, Zhang Wen was old and failed to keep up with the changes of the times. He always thought that his status as a captain was the biggest talisman. Dong Zhuo did not dare to touch him without real evidence.
But my lord, times have changed a long time ago!
Not only Zhang Heng frowned, but Chen Gong on the side also smiled bitterly and shook his head after listening to Zhang Wen's operation.
"Good nephew, is there something wrong?"
Seeing Zhang Heng frowning and saying nothing, Zhang Wen asked.
"Nothing, uncle, don't worry." Zhang Heng shook his head and smiled.
Anyway, things are already like this, no matter how much you regret, it won't help. This trivial matter will not remind Li Ru of his identity. It will be fine if the controversy subsides in two days.
"Uncle, after we enter the city, it's better for us to act in secret. If there is any difficulty, we might as well leave it to my nephew to handle." To prevent Zhang Wen from doing similar operations again, Zhang Heng reminded him.
Although Zhang Heng said it very cryptically, Zhang Wen still understood it.
Ziyi is blaming me for not being secretive, but there is nothing wrong with my operation!
Although he couldn't understand, Zhang Wen nodded.
With Zhang Wen here, everyone will naturally enter the city smoothly.
Looking at the bustling Luoyang, Zhang Heng's eyes flashed with strange colors.
Since crossing over, he has been walking among the troops, and everywhere he sees are dilapidated scenes after military disasters. Only now Luoyang, where people were coming and going and bustling with activity, gave him a feeling of fireworks on earth.
At this moment, Zhang Heng suddenly had a specific idea in his mind.
After the war against Dong is over, he must build such prosperous cities so that the people can depend on him and the people can live in peace.
While he was in his trance, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, and then the people on both sides of the road moved out of the way.
Only then did Zhang Heng discover that what the people were avoiding was a carriage.
Who is so arrogant and dares to drive in Luoyang City?
At first, Zhang Heng thought it was Dong Zhuo's minions, but when he found the people in the car, he couldn't help being stunned.
She was actually a young girl, she looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, but she had red lips and white teeth, a dignified appearance, and her every move and smile showed nobility.
The carriages of this era did not have carriages. They were all open-top style. At most, there was a curtain hanging in front, so Zhang Heng could see clearly.
While Zhang Heng was still observing, Zhang Wen strode up, raised his hands to the girl in the carriage and said, "I have met the eldest princess!"
The girl on the carriage quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "I've seen the Taiwei!"
"May I ask where the eldest princess came from?" Zhang Wen said with a smile.
The woman smiled reservedly and said, "I came out to do some shopping and was about to return to the palace, but unexpectedly I met the Taiwei here."
"In that case, I will not disturb the eldest princess." Zhang Wen cupped his hands and said.
After some simple greetings, the girl ordered the driver to continue driving and soon disappeared at the end of the road.
"Uncle, who was that just now?" Zhang Heng asked.
Zhang Wen replied: "She is the Princess of Ten Thousand Years."
The ten thousand year old princess?
Isn’t that the late Emperor Liu Hong’s favorite daughter?
Not all emperor's daughters can be called princesses. Just like a prince, if the emperor does not make you a prince or make you a king, then you are just a prince.
Although the status is noble, it does not have much status.
The same goes for princesses. Those without the title of princess are just pure princesses.
Princess Liu Yao of Ten Thousand Years is the only one among the daughters of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty who has the title of princess, which shows how much she loves her.
When Liu Hong died and Liu Bian ascended the throne, she, the Ten Thousand Years Princess, would naturally become the Ten Thousand Years Princess.
Thinking of this, Zhang Heng suddenly showed a malicious smile.
In later unofficial histories, it is often written that after Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he saw that Princess Wannian was as beautiful as a flower, so he imprisoned her and treated her as his forbidden plaything. There are also some books that describe the scenes in such vivid and vivid ways that it makes people's blood flow.
Now it seems that they are all false and groundless.
First of all, today's Dong Zhuo is not as crazy as he was after he moved the capital to Chang'an. If he wants to sleep with Princess Wannian, he can marry her through a matchmaker. There is no need to resort to such underhanded tactics.
Furthermore, Princess Wannian’s biological mother, Queen Mother He, was poisoned by Dong Zhuo. How could he keep Princess Wannian as his pillow? What if this girl couldn't think of another day and gave him a double blow...
Although Mr. Dong is thick-skinned and skilled in marksmanship, he cannot stand up to a real sword or a real spear.
