Luoyang City
A curfew has been imposed in the city, and important street entrances are guarded by armored soldiers. Every household's doors are tightly closed, with occasional armored soldiers patrolling along the walls meticulously. In silence, there is a sense of solemnity, and patrols in both the inner and outer cities have been strengthened, creating a tense atmosphere.
A few days ago, various rumors were circulating in various parts of Shimotsu, and the people on the ground silently returned, influencing the progress of the world in their own way.
In the streets and alleys, the watchman carries small lanterns, knocks on gongs or bangs, while in the mansion, there are also songs, dances, and Baijiu, singing softly.
Diaochan looked at the sky and saw flames not far away, but no screams could be heard. However, from time to time, flocks of night birds would fly up and hover in the sky, making mournful calls. This omen was not very good, and she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Has the information arrived? "She turned around and asked.
Here we are! "Said a middle-aged man, who was almost fifty years old, of average height, with snow-white temples and bright eyes. He quickly took a step forward, arched his hand, and presented the news.
After reading it, Diaochan was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly.
The changes in the land are most prominent in terms of information transformation. Major war news is required to be grasped by all parties at the first time, and it is time to compete for speed.
Diaochan knew that the main lord had researched the information disk two years in advance in the underworld through the help of Lady Mi and Lady Gan. She also heard that the governor and Yu Fan's families also have it now, but the spiritual energy in the underworld is different from that on the ground, and communication involves extremely subtle levels. This was developed and adjusted by real people or collaborated with a large number of sorcerers.
There are significant limitations, even other people on the ground do not have the ability to develop it themselves, and instead rely on the traditional combination of fast horses and carrier pigeons.
I don't have a corresponding Taoist information board in this area either.
However, the existing communication is also very fast.
The Qin Dynasty built a plank road (entering Shu), a straight road (ancient version of military expressway) heading north to the Jiuyuan Great Wall, nine lanes (ancient version of national highway), and a rail network (ancient version of railway network, rammed earth roadbed, horizontal sleepers, replaced by hardwood long rails to pass carriages with uniform wheelbase, known as "carriages on the same track" in history)... It established a vast road network centered around Guanzhong and a relay station communication system attached to it.
The Han Dynasty inherited the road and post station network of the Qin Dynasty, only transferring the core eastward to Luoyang. The transportation in the Central Plains was very convenient, and the post station communication system was still in the hands of Luoyang, which could directly transmit messages through the Chidao Road at Hulao Pass.
Diaochan was raised since childhood and is very familiar with the historical evolution of the court in terms of women's and political affairs. Therefore, it is not surprising that Dong Zhuo will receive information.
The news of Empress Dowager He's "disappearance" and Xu Rong's death in battle spread to Luoyang within two days. Of course, this was a blocked message, but Diaochan's wife network, which she had managed in the past two years, was almost ubiquitous. The palace prohibitions in the north and south were like a sieve, and she received the news within an hour.
Dong Zhuo was furious, most likely feeling a deep chill, and adopted a high-pressure policy internally. At the same time, in order to relieve the pressure on the soldiers of the Western Liang army and avoid causing explosions, he began to deploy troops to plunder some counties in Luoyang, causing residents in the Sili area to be in a state of panic.
What will this thief do to the outside world? "Diao Chan frowned and thought," Moreover, this kind of looting is simply a tactic of bandits. Did something happen within Dong Zhuo's army?
Miss, the master is visiting, "the maid greeted her and whispered softly.
Diaochan was taken aback for a moment, and after a few seconds, she understood that it was not referring to Ye Qing, but to the former Wang Yun. After asking a few questions, it turned out that Wang Yun had sent a message through Zhang Liao's channel, saying that there was an urgent matter to contact her father-in-law.
Diaochan did not choose to stay in this village, but chose a safe branch outside the city. She understands the principle of cunning and cunning.
The conversation will be held in the evening, which is a relatively lively time in Luoyang. It is easy to blend in with the crowd, and then the shadows of the dark night are more convenient to hide. She is not afraid of moonlight.
She took a deep breath, considered for a moment, and said to the maid Ying'er, "We need to inform General Zhang Wenyuan about this matter. You can go there yourself
Isn't the visible person the master? "Ying'er was taken aback.
At present, this kind of notification carries some risks, but at this time, the patriarchal system is strict, and once the legitimate daughter is recognized, she is still the legitimate daughter. Should we be cautious?
Diaochan's gaze remained calm as she spoke calmly, "I know he's the master - go and inform him
Yes! "Ying'er dared not ask too many questions and hurriedly left.
Seeing her leave, Diaochan let out a silent sigh, crouched down, and looked at the startled birds in the night sky, feeling a surge of sadness in her heart.
As I was pondering, I heard the faint sound of zither tuning in the distance, and then let out a long sigh.
In reality, due to the pressure of working underground, she rarely trusts people now. Even when she sleeps, she sets up a magic array. In her dreams, she holds onto the five jade talismans left to her by her lord - each talisman corresponds to a escape technique in the Five Elements. Although the distance of escape is only a pitiful ten meters, it can already save her life in critical moments.
This delicate five colored bracelet was tied to her hand.
Being able to block all five elements, except for the space-time membrane, can only be achieved by the Immortal Garden, which is beyond her consideration.
I really hope it's time to return to the Lord's side as soon as possible, "she thought, recalling the promise made here to personally come and pick her up, or if she could really break the tiger prison and come to Luoyang in time?
Holding a five colored bracelet, she sat alone in the darkness, lost in thought.
After a while, feeling that the moon was about to rise, she opened the window and door. The first ray of moonlight silently merged into her body, covering her skin with a faint silver color, as if moonlight were nurturing elves.
When the agreed time arrived, Diaochan quickly arrived at Pianzhuang.
This Pianzhuang only has two hectares of land (two hundred acres), which may seem like heavenly beings to the tenants, but it is unremarkable near Luoyang and will not attract attention.
A group of personal soldiers silently entered and guarded the vital points.
Accompanied by ten elite infantry armor and five divine archers from the Long Water Camp, Diao Chan's strength, combined with her own martial arts, is sufficient to sustain herself for a period of time in various unexpected situations.
Throughout the entire Luoyang area, Diao Chan feared that Dong Zhuo's army might be linked to the Taiping Sect.
When Xingwang Yun arrived, he was clearly not being followed.
He is a very alert and even cunning fox like person. From this perspective, this father daughter relationship is not bloodline, but rather influenced by childhood education and words and deeds.
In the evening breeze, Diaochan received him in the courtyard with a calm attitude, stood up and bowed, "Father
Wang Yun was slightly stunned when he saw her, almost unable to recognize her daughter. He sighed inwardly that she was becoming more and more beautiful. At this point, he just nodded and said, "There have been too many things that have happened in the past two years. Since the departure of the warlords from Beijing, Dong Zhuo's power has become dominant, especially after Zhang Liao from the Northern Army Infantry Battalion and Liu Biao from the Shooting Battalion defected to Dong Zhuo... Of course, looking at it now
Diaochan calmly gazed at him. Although he was old, his face was fair and thin, but with a calm and resolute demeanor.
This old man has hardly changed, still stubborn in her bones... but she has changed.
She has not forgotten the great righteousness of the elderly's education and has not lost her admiration for them, but she has witnessed too many things that are difficult to express, far beyond what the elderly can understand.
These words sound like they are in a dream.
Listen, just a smile. To continue her ethnic group, she needs strength, and to have strength, she needs to follow the lord.
After listening, she said, "General Wen Yuan and General Jing Sheng are loyal to the emperor, the empress dowager, not the aristocracy. It's not a betrayal
I know, I know, you've really been influenced by him... "Wang Yun was stunned, stopped talking, shook his head and sighed, without further argument, just staring into his daughter's eyes:" I want to ask a question - about Dong Zhuo poisoning the young emperor. On the night of March 3rd, it was chaotic, and several families were fighting, with both killing and protection, but the young emperor still died. I can't say anything about it and won't ask
That night, Zhao Zilong single handedly kidnapped the Empress Dowager and took her out of the palace, which actually saved her life. Now it is rumored that the Empress Dowager has arrived in Xuchang, and she has nothing to do. Being a courtier should be a celebration
No matter how your current lord calculates, he is still better than being killed by the Dong bandits... I have nothing to say
I just want to ask one thing, "Wang Yun's eyes sharpened and he stared at her.
Firstly, there are various opinions regarding the death of Emperor Xian after falling from a building, but Dong Jie did not need to do so. Who is this? Does your lord have any explanation
Also, the disappearance of the Empress Dowager is not enough. The Six Seals of the Emperor and the Seal of the Empress have also gone missing. Do you know
Wang Yun asked, there was an invisible pressure when he said these words.
Diaochan's head twitched. In the past, she might have been sweating profusely, but now she seemed oblivious - Wang Yun knew all about these things. This person had expertise and a criminal record in high-level conspiracies. After a moment of contemplation, she cautiously replied, "The two emperors passed away one after another, and the six imperial seals of the emperor are now in the hands of the empress dowager. What is there to criticize
The Imperial Seal of the State is even higher than the six imperial seals of the emperor. If the lord intends, why not take the Imperial Seal of the State? "Diao Chan replied calmly.
The Chuanguo Jade Seal is different from the Tianzi Six Seals. The Tianzi Six Seals can be carved, while the Chuanguo Jade Seal symbolizes the destiny of heaven.
After hearing these words, Wang Yun's expression relaxed slightly and he asked, "What about the matter of offering the emperor
Diaochan was surprised by his question, but her expression was a smile. She said, "Father, why are you asking me? You should go ask the Dong thief, Cao Gong, and Yuan family
After saying this, Wang Yunjing fell silent. Her meaning was simple: in terms of suspicion, these few companies were much more suspected than her own lord.
Wang Yun knew that if he continued to ask, he would not receive an answer, and the suspicion of Cao Cao in history was indeed very high... Without it, he had completely changed his personality, and this person acted recklessly in Yanzhou, treating the court as worthless and openly killing the court governor.
Thinking of this, Wang Yun couldn't help but sigh.
Let's forget about this matter. I believe you're telling the truth, it's just that the current emperor
At this moment, Diao Chan interrupted him and said softly, "Father, please be cautious. Dong and the thieves killed the emperor twice. How can we establish an emperor? The emperor is not here, and the empress dowager is respected without her permission - this is a pseudo emperor
As soon as these words fell, the scene suddenly turned cold, and Wang Yun couldn't help but turn pale.
