Zhuge Ruoxue saw Chen Lang off and returned to the hall. At this time, another person appeared in the hall. She was dressed in snow-white clothing and looked extremely beautiful. She looked somewhat similar to Zhuge Ruoxue, but she had a refined and quiet temperament.
When Zhuge Ruoxue saw the woman, she immediately called out in joy, "Sister!" As she shouted, he rushed forward. So it turns out that this unparalleled beauty who did not look like a human was actually the big sister, Zhuge Mengxue.
Zhuge Mengxue asked: "Has General Ying Yang left?" Zhuge Ruoxue nodded her head, then laughed: "I don't know where he heard about Kong Ming, but she personally came all the way to see Kong Ming, it's so funny!" Zhuge Mengxue thought: "I heard that her words are different from the ordinary people and are definitely not from the bottom of the pond!" Zhuge Ruoxue did not mind at all and continued, "In the end, you are still just an official in the imperial government, nothing special!"
Zhuge Mengxue shook his head, raised his head, and looked towards the sky outside the door with her star-like eyes, muttering: "Although the Disorder of yellow napkin has been pacified, the big sized man is already riddled with holes, and if she wants to recover her full strength, she has to have a king with the highest heaven and earth at her disposal! However, from the looks of the current situation of the imperial government, it seemed like the situation was getting worse! If there was no miracle, I predict that the imperial government will definitely change greatly within two to three years! At that time, I'm afraid that the mountains and rivers will collapse and fall, and a huge calamity will befall us! "
Zhuge Ruoxue's expression could not help but change, and she asked: "Will the situation really become like that?" Zhuge Mengxue sighed, and said: "I hope my prediction was wrong!" The two girls fell silent.
Zhuge Mengxue saw that Zhuge Ruoxue was holding onto a piece of paper, and asked: "Is that the letter General Ying Yang wrote to Kong Ming?"
Zhuge Ruoxue looked at the letter in her hand and asked curiously: I don't know what he said in the letter, why don't we open it and take a look? As she spoke, he opened the letter. Zhuge Mengxue quickly stopped him: "No! This is a letter the General Ying Yang has written to Kong Ming. Even though you and I are family sisters, we cannot afford to look at it! " Zhuge Ruoxue stuck out her tongue, no longer daring to tear it apart.
A servant girl rushed in hurriedly and said anxiously, "Master suddenly coughed violently, it's so scary! Young ladies, please go and take a look! " The two girls were startled and immediately ran towards the back without caring about anything else.
After Chen Lang and Guan Yu left the Zhuge family's grass hut, they went back the way they came from. Guan Yu could not help but say: "Big Brother, that Zhu Ge Liang is merely a fourteen or fifteen year old youth. There is no need for Big Brother to think so highly of him!" Chen Lang laughed: "Being born with such talent has nothing to do with one's age! Wasn't Ganluo here at the age of twelve? " Guan Yu was startled. He still did not agree with it in his heart, but he did not know how to refute it.
Someone came to the front of the restaurant, Chen Lang planned to have a chat with Sima Hui, but when he entered, he realised that Sima Hui had already left. Chen Lang could only bring Guan Yu back to the camp.
A day later, Chen Lang led the troops and marched north. Fifteen thousand soldiers followed the public road and headed straight for the Luoyang. Half a month later, the army arrived near the Luoyang. The emperor's official stopped in front of the army and announced the decree, allowing Chen Lang's to be stationed in the western suburbs of Luoyang. Chen Lang entered the palace alone. Chen Lang then ordered his subordinates to lead the army to fir pool to station, while he himself led a few subordinates to Luoyang.
Before even entering the Luoyang City, he saw from afar a huge city sprawled on the south bank of the Yellow River. Countless houses were spread out, countless buildings were erected, and there was no end in sight! What kind of city was this? I'm afraid that in the future generations, there will not be many cities that can be compared with it in terms of land area! Everyone could imagine, almost a million people lived in bungalows, and there were even many palaces and official mansions that covered an extremely large area. Just how big would that area be?! That was absolutely beyond imagination!
Upon entering the Luoyang City, a prosperous atmosphere immediately blew over everyone. The pedestrians on the streets moved side by side, and caravans were busy transporting goods. The banners of the shops on both sides of the street were waving in the wind, and the hawkers' shouts reverberated in the air. The Jingzhou was already considered to be a very prosperous city, but compared to the Luoyang, it was just like a small child meeting a great Magus!
Chen Lang followed the minister in waiting and arrived at the side of the palace. There were many large buildings arranged in an orderly manner, looking grand and majestic. When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, the minister made Chen Lang wait and went in.
After Chen Lang waited for almost an hour, the minister in charge of the carriage came out slowly and said, "Since His Majesty has orders, he will not meet with the general alone. General, please return. You can enter the palace at dawn in two days. " Chen Lang cupped his fists and said: "As you command. Then, he turned around and left! "
Chen Lang walked on the street and admired the scenery of the Luoyang. It was only then that Chen Lang realized that not only was the Luoyang prosperous, the streets were also pleasing to the eyes. Perhaps it was a patch of forest, or perhaps a small lake, a scenery that only the later generations could see when they came to the park. The natural beauty of the landscape and the entire city are perfectly blended! Chen Lang could not help but sigh. He was afraid that the ancient cities of China were the cities that were truly suitable for human habitation, and those industrial cities that had emerged amidst the waves of industrialization were probably on the wrong path.
Just as Chen Lang was thinking about all sorts of things, a clamor pulled Chen Lang back from his thoughts. Chen Lang looked towards the source of the voice and saw a large group of people gathered under a large willow tree not far away. It was extremely noisy and he did not know what had happened. Chen Lang curiously walked over.
Walking out of the crowd, he saw a young woman kneeling on the ground. She was hugging a sickly eight or nine-year-old boy. The young maiden was crying, and a few ruffian-looking fellows were insulting her, one of the ruffians laughed, "Isn't it easy to ask for money? Accompanying the Young Master in sleeping for a few nights, I'll give you five taels of silver! " Another ruffian said with an evil smile, "We have five people here. You can sleep with us for a few nights, and then you will have five good husbands. Each of them will give you five taels of silver, and you will have twenty-five taels of silver. What do you say?" The other ruffians laughed out loud. The surrounding crowd were all furious, but none of them dared to say anything.
Chen Lang asked an old man beside him: "Old man, what's going on?"
The elder sighed and said, "Pitiful!" This Trichoderma family was originally very blessed. The man in the Trichoderma was originally an officer in the Imperial guards. However, the sky was unpredictable. The men of the Trichoderma had died in the war that had pacified the Disorder of yellow napkin not long ago, leaving them with orphans and widows. Not long ago, the children of the Trichoderma suffered from a serious illness. Since the Trichoderma was unable to do so, she was prepared to sell herself as a slave in exchange for the child's medical fees. "But I never thought that I'd run into those damn things!" The old man's last words were angry, but she lowered her voice.
Chen Lang frowned and asked: "Doesn't the imperial government have a pension? How could an officer's pension be higher than that? "
The old man sized Chen Lang up and said, "You should also be an officer, how could you not know about the matters of the imperial government. Although the Imperial Court has a pension, those pensions are probably close to the pocket of a ten-year old regular servant.
Chen Lang revealed a pondering look.
Just then, those ruffians went up to the young woman called Trichoderma and tried to drag him away. The young lady was crying and begging for mercy, her voice was extremely mournful. However, the young maiden's mournful cries did not gain the slightest bit of pity from the other party, and instead made the other party even more tyrannical!
Chen Lang could no longer hold it in and shouted, "Stop!" It was like a thunderclap that shook the entire arena. Everyone immediately quieted down, and their gazes all landed on him.
When Trichoderma saw Chen Lang dressed in his military uniform, he immediately became excited and cried out: "General, save me! General, save us! " She was different from the old man just now, her husband was an officer of the imperial guards, thus she could recognize that Chen Lang's armor was not the ordinary officer's, but the general's.
The leading scoundrel who didn't know what was good for him shouted at Chen Lang arrogantly, "Do you know who grandpa is? If you offend me, you can forget about becoming an official! "
Chen Lang walked forward and raised his right hand to give that Ruffian a punch. The scoundrel's face immediately turned red as blood splattered everywhere. With a blood-curdling scream, he fell to the ground, letting out a scream that sounded like a pig being butchered! The other ruffians were shocked, and subconsciously wanted to rush forward to help, but when they saw the murderous look in Chen Lang's eyes, they could not help but feel fear, and did not dare to take action. They immediately supported the ruffian who was beaten down by Chen Lang and fled! When the onlookers saw this scene, they all began to clap and cheer.
Chen Lang walked to the front of Trichoderma and helped him up. He looked at the child in her arms and felt that the child was indeed very sick! Chen Lang took out a silver ingot that was worth fifty silver and stuffed it into her hands. "Treat your child's illness, don't think about selling yourself!" The Trichoderma was extremely grateful.
Chen Lang turned around and returned to the Black Dragon's side. He jumped on the dragon's back and led the personal guards away. The onlookers saw that there was nothing left to see, so they all dispersed.
When Chen Lang and the rest were about to reach the city gate, one of the guards suddenly pointed behind them and said, "General, that woman is chasing after us with her child in her arms."
Chen Lang stopped the Black Dragon and turned around. Sure enough, he saw the woman called Trichoderma catching up with him while holding a child in her arms. Chen Lang frowned and raised his voice: "If you aren't going to hurry up and treat the child, why are you chasing me?"
Trichoderma, who held the child, kneeled to the ground. She kowtowed three times and said with boundless gratitude, "General, your great kindness is something this humble woman cannot repay. This humble servant is willing to repay you with my services, General!"
