Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1494 Diao Zhi Liao Border
In the festive atmosphere between Heluo, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, a large-scale team traveled long distances, passed through Guanlong, Hangu, and Weihan Ancient Road, and finally entered Heluo before the New Year. .

Although it is still a short distance from Luoyang, you can already feel the festive and hot atmosphere between Heluo in the countryside.

It coincides with the cold winter and the New Year, after the heavy snow, the sky and the earth are covered with white. If it is the old year, if it is in other places, it should be a desolate scene of thousands of mountains and birds flying, and thousands of trails. Even if you encounter a village in the wild, the people They either have no warm clothes, or have meager food reserves. Under such a severe cold weather, they all live in secluded places and stay behind closed doors.

But it is not the case between Heluo. A group of bloated people marched in a group in the wilderness. The path that was originally covered by heavy snow was trampled out by them. With a huge self-made leather drum, he kept beating the leather drum on the way forward, and the cart behind pulled a huge pottery vat. The bonfire in the vat was raging, and urchins were running around the cart. Throwing the bundled firecrackers in his arms into the pottery vat, everyone clapped their hands and laughed loudly when they heard the crackling sound of firecrackers.

This group of people climbed high or approached the abyss, and walked around the wilderness. Naturally, the distant visitors did not know what kind of rural customs this was, but it did not prevent them from being infected by this cheerful atmosphere, and even the hardship of long-distance travel was greatly reduced.

Regardless of the folk customs, one thing is certain for these villagers wandering and celebrating in the wild under such circumstances, that is, they probably don't have to worry about food and clothing for tomorrow.If you really don't have enough food, no clothes, and every moment of life is torture, what is there to celebrate?

In this team, a middle-aged man between 40 and [-] years old was sitting in front of the car, clapping the shaft of the car and telling the origin of these folk customs to his fellow travelers. They all looked a little naughty.

This middle-aged man was none other than the newly-promoted Duke of Puyang County Jiangxi from the Daliang court.However, the current Jiang Xi doesn't have the dignity and majesty of a noble minister. He is wrapped in a thick leather cloak, which has been neglected due to the rush, his bun hair looks messy and greasy, and there is no pampered look on his face. , looking dark and thin and shriveled, much older than his actual age, but his eyes are bright and full of energy.

But no matter what he had experienced before, as the team moved closer to Luoyang City, Jiang Xi's spirit became more excited, and his mood became more cheerful. Regardless of the difference in status, he sat in front of the car and walked towards those soldiers from Liangzhou It tells about various folk customs between Heluo.

Finally, in the evening, the grand outline of Luoyang City appeared on the horizon. Jiang Xi stood on the car and looked at the height. Seeing the straight and thick lines of the city, his eyes suddenly became rosy: "I'm finally back!" !"

Most of the people from Liangzhou who accompanied them had no experience of visiting Heluo in person. When they saw the majestic city of Luoyang City from a distance, there were exclamations one after another in the team.

"How much does it cost for such a big city?"

"Such a big city, I'm afraid it can house at least 20 people!"

It is no wonder that these Liangzhou people were amazed. Although Liangzhou was located in the west, it was free from many military disasters in the Central Plains and a large number of people moved westward to avoid disasters. Located in the frontier, with a shallow foundation, how can it compare with the foundation and vitality of the heart of the sky.

They traveled all the way, although Guanlong had been rehabilitated for many years, but it was only a little bit impressive, even so, the growth of Chang'an City in Guanzhong was quite an eye-opener for them.As for the current Luoyang City, the Daliang Center has been stationed for a long time. After more than ten years of Xingchuang management, it can be called the largest city in the universe today, and it has directly refreshed the concept of these Liangzhou people about the Xiongdu Dayi.

But no matter how amazing they were, they were not allowed to enter Luoyang City today, not only because it was getting late, but also because there was an unusual nobleman in the team, and there was a certain amount of attention to etiquette.

Because this group of people was temporarily arranged into the old Luojun City not far from Luoyang City, but even this purely military building is much larger than Guzang City, the capital of Liangzhou, which makes up for it a little. It is a pity that these Liangzhou people cannot go straight to Luoyang.

A group of people walked towards the old Luojun City, and they were still a few miles away from the city gate. They saw people on the road waiting to greet them. A group of them were obviously from Taicheng, and they were all dressed in the new dark black officials of the Liang court. Gowns and winter clothes, the queue is neat.

The other group of people seemed more casual. Some of them could not help but smile when they saw Jiang He in front of the car from a distance, strode up to meet them, and cupped their hands from a distance: "Brother Sixuan is traveling to the west, staying on the side to pursue merits, After many years, the old friends in the sky can't catch up, so sad and lovesick!"

In the old years, Jiang Xi was on the stage, so he was very popular, and now that he was granted the title of Duke of the county, he was one of the top dignitaries in the new dynasty of Daliang. Absent, but the people of the world will not ignore him.So after learning that he had returned to the country, there were hundreds of people who came to greet him alone.

The warm welcome of the old people in Luozhong made Jiang Xi feel a lot, but he still kept his mission in mind, and first worked with the officials sent by the imperial court to complete the handover of the Liangzhou people, and then rushed to meet these old friends.

Having been separated for several years, they didn't seem to be very different from each other, especially Jiang Xi's status is even more unusual now, and Shi Liu couldn't help being flattering, because they talked freely, and the atmosphere was very warm.

What Jiang Xi was most curious about was naturally that he had been in Liangzhou for the past few years, and there were various new things in Luozhong. Although the news communication between each other was very smooth, the letters and messages were always missing some details.At this time, listening to his friends talking about the old things, Jiang Xi will inevitably regret and miss many important events. Although he has spent a lot of time in Liangzhou in the past few years and has created many things, compared with Tianzhong Xiongkuo, he always feels that he is still a little less. mean.

A group of people were chatting, and another strong man in a brocade robe walked in. His demeanor was quite aggressive, especially the one-eyed one, which was very impressive.Most of Jiang Xi's friends are scholars, and as this strong man full of evil spirits entered, the atmosphere in the whole hall became very heavy.

The one-eyed strong man is naturally Hu Run, and he ignored the eyes of others, and went straight into the hall, bowed to Jiang He and smiled, "I heard that Duke Puyang returned home with honor, and a certain one is living in the military city, and he is coming to meet him. I hope Duke Puyang will not commit any crimes for falling behind a group of sages."

Regarding Hu Run's arrival, Jiang He also had some surprises, but he still stood up to welcome Hu Run and let Hu Run sit at the table.

Hu Run is a disciple of a sage, and he was awarded the title of county magistrate for his outstanding military achievements. Now he is the official residence of the Sixth Army Commander's Mansion Zuo Dudu.Because even the scholars present did not dare to neglect him, they all respected him very much.

However, although Hu Run was also from a wealthy family in Jiangzhou, his family was once in decline, and he himself grew up among the barbarians. Since he followed the saints, he has mostly used it in military affairs. It is inevitable that he has different interests from those present. go together.And his identity made it impossible to ignore him, so the original warm atmosphere in the hall was no longer there.

So gradually, everyone who met at the meeting got up and said goodbye, no longer disturbing Jiang Xie's rest, and just agreed to talk about it in the future.Jiang Xun naturally got up to see them off, but after sending off everyone, Jiang Xun found that Hu Run was still standing behind him, showing no intention of leaving.

This inevitably made Jiang He a little curious and dissatisfied. Although he and Hu Run are both confidantes of His Majesty's humerus, they have different paths in civil and military affairs, and they don't have a deep friendship with each other. .What's more, he has been away from Luoyang for many years, and when he just returned, he was missing his family. Before that, he had too many friends and had no time to share his love with his family. Now he is even more unwilling to waste time on Hu Run.

Jiang Xie was about to open his mouth to see off the guests, but Hu Run had already opened his mouth first. The one-eyed eye looked up and down Jiang Xie, and Jiang Xie's heart felt numb with his focused eyes, so he heard the other party say: "Ji Bian Over the years, Duke Puyang's appearance is very different from previous years, he has become darker and thinner, presumably there is no shortage of hard work in the frontier, and the diet and daily life are hard to compare with China?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xi was even more taken aback, and turned slightly to the back with a bit of vigilance. He only felt that Hu Run's attitude was really weird. They were not close friends at all, so why should they be so emotional?
Seeing that Jiang Xi was avoiding him a little, Hu Run blushed, and after a while, he clasped his fists a little shyly and said, "I was the one who was rude, and I hope Duke Puyang will not offend me. It's just that a certain holy family has been around me recently, and I think it's quite strange." Duke Puyang is old-fashioned, so he took the liberty to visit, hoping to be taught by Duke Puyang..."

Jiang Xi was stunned again after hearing the words, pondered for a while and then moved closer to Hu Run, pointed in the direction of Luoyang Taiji Palace, and then whispered: "General Hu also..."

Hu Run nodded with a heavy face, but before he could open his mouth, Jiang Xi had already grasped his wrist, and his attitude was even more contrary to the previous alienation: "Let's talk in detail!"

The two returned to the room, and after taking their seats, Jiang Xi looked at Hu Run with a concerned expression on his face, as if listening, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes trembled frequently, showing a bit of gloating.

Hu Run didn't have time to take into account the subtlety of Jiang Hee's demeanor. He had been restless these days, and he had no interest in making great achievements or celebrating the new era.

After Guangzong's old incident earlier, he was sent back to Jiangdong by His Majesty the Emperor. He thought this matter was over, but then he was busy with various celebrations, coupled with the generous rewards and Guangzong Yaozu, he completely forgot about this matter.

But it is inevitable for everyone to compare themselves. A few days ago, the soldiers gathered in Paozawa to congratulate each other, and they might talk about the rewards each other received.At this time, Hu Run realized that he was already in a very dangerous situation, because most of the rewards received by the generals were silk and brocade, but he had two more carts of Liaodong mink than others!

At the beginning, Hu Run was honored to receive the special award.You must know that Liaodong mink fur is a well-deserved treasure in the sky at this time. There are many nobles with sable crowns.

However, Hurun got so many treasures in one reward, so he went to ask the artisans of Shendufang to tailor the clothes, and made a gorgeous mink fur cloak.

But after learning about his special gift, Hu Run couldn't laugh anymore, and the mink fur coat that gave him such warmth was also sealed at the bottom of the box, no longer showing off.This time during the ban, Yu learned that Jiang Xi, the unlucky guy, returned to Luo, so he rushed to make adjustments with others and came to ask His Majesty the emperor if he really meant that?
After listening to Hu Run's narration, Jiang Xi couldn't help laughing secretly, and raised his hand to pat the back of Hu Run's hand: "Please take the initiative to use it, it's better than sending people by order. Compared with me, General Hu Run is not bad. Fortunately, I added a mink fur cloak, which shows that the holy family is deep, and the saint is still afraid of the cold and bitterness of the Liao border that will hurt the beloved general."

When Hu Run heard this, there was only a little luck left in his heart, and he sighed: "It's a pity, the day before yesterday, there was a visit from Luoxia's door, and I wanted to give a woman as a housewife, but now it seems that I can only refuse. It's time to go back to the border Undecided, there is no point in taking someone's time."

Jiang Xi originally had a bit of sympathy for Hu Run, but after hearing this, he felt that the one-eyed dragon really deserved it!You must know that he was sent to Liangzhou with a piece of paper while driving with him back then, and he didn't even have time to return to Luo to say goodbye to his wife and children, so that when he left home, his son Shang Mengchong had already written a pen and was able to write.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang He was even more unhappy with his own circumstances, and secretly thought in his heart that he would face the Holy Spirit tomorrow, and no matter what, he must ask for a sable fur cloak!After years of hard work, he is also very cold!
