Chapter 142 Chapter Thirteen

Wang Shichong put on his military uniform and Zhuo stood on the bow of the boat. Kou Zhong and a group of generals left behind. The outer city of Luoyang is already in sight, and the weather is solemn. Four navy ships joined the escorting line, making the fleet even more spectacular. Wang Shichong was in high spirits, and seemed to be in a good mood. He called Kou Zhong to his side and asked, "Have you ever been to Luoyang, Brother Kou?" Kou Zhong respectfully replied, "It's still the first time I've been to Luoyang." Wang Shichong laughed and said proudly: "The Luoshui below us divides the capital into two parts, north and south. The imperial palace and imperial city are located in the northwest of the city; streets, squares, and cities are distributed in the south and east of the city."

Kou Zhongdao: "Can the fleet sail directly into the city?" Wang Shichong said triumphantly: "Not only can you drive into the city, but you can also reach any place. In terms of the convenience of internal and external water and land transportation, there is no city in the world that can match the Eastern Capital. In addition to the Luoshui River running through it, there is also the Donghe River. , Xigushui, Beijinshui Canal, Nantongjin Canal, Tongji Canal, Yishui, Cao Canal, Daoqu, Chongjin Canal, Danshui Canal and alleys are criss-crossed with streets and alleys, so it is more convenient to connect vehicles and ships.”

The sluice has already been raised, and the fleet drove into the city along the Luo River. The bustling scene in the city suddenly changed before his eyes, Kou Zhong even stopped breathing, his eyes widened. Wang Shichong approached Kou Zhong's ear and said, "If you help me defeat Li Mi in the east and Chang'an in the west, I will make you King of Luoyang, this city will be your fief, and Xiao Nini will be your princess!" Kou Zhong regained his mind, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Sage Long En!" After I finished speaking, I felt funny in my heart. But he also knew that if he didn't pretend to be flattery, Wang Shichong might turn against him at any time.

Wang Shichong laughed loudly when he heard the word "Holy Majesty", and then said in a low voice, "It has been rumored that the two of you know the secret of 'Duke Yang's Treasure House', is it true or not?" Kou Zhong cursed secretly in his heart, but put on a respectful look on the surface, and whispered: "We only have some clues, and it is still unknown whether we can find them." Wang Shichong said: "Is the treasure in Luoyang?" Kou Zhong pretended to be stunned and said: "Shang Shu is really amazing!" Wang Shichong snorted coldly: "Yang Su actively participated in the construction of the new capital in the past. It should be a matter of course to find a treasure."

Kou Zhong was overjoyed in his heart, secretly thinking that it would be best if you think so.Suddenly seeing the fleet heading towards the bridge across the river, they said in horror, "It's about to hit the bridge!" Although Wang Shichong and his subordinates smiled bitterly, they were already suffering extremely. When Kou Zhong was puzzled, the bridge parted in the middle and lifted to the two sides, exposing enough space for the fleet to pass unimpeded. Wang Shichong happily said to Kou Zhong who was still jaw-droppingly surprised: "This is the first opening and closing bridge in China. It was designed by Lu Miaozi, the world's great art master. It's not surprising that Brother Kou has never seen it before."

Pointing to the right bank ahead, he said, "That's the imperial palace, let's go directly to see Yang Tong and see what tricks he can pull off." Xu Ziling asked in astonishment, "Is Big Brother Li married?" Li Jing blushed and said: "It's been many years! Sumei and I went northward for our lives, luckily we met her and got her help to take back my broken tendon, otherwise your elder brother Li would have become a lame man." In an instant, Xu Ziling understood the whole thing. Because of Li Jing's empathy, Su Su was forced to leave Li Jing sadly, and never wanted to mention him again.

Li Jing wondered: "Why did Xiaoling's face become so ugly?" Xu Ziling's face turned cold, and he said word by word: "From today onwards, we are no longer brothers, Li Jing, let's go!" Li Jing said in shock, "What's the matter?" Xu Ziling said coldly: "You should know exactly what is going on. Sister Wu Su has a deep affection for you, but you have empathized with her and abandoned her. There is nothing more to say between us." After speaking, he turned around and left go. Li Jing shouted, "Xiaoling!" Xu Ziling spread his footwork, left the embankment area in an instant, and disappeared into the flow of people on a side street.

At the end of the Luoshui River in the city, and in the northwest of the Outer Guocheng, there is the magnificent East Palace. The imperial palace is divided into two parts: the imperial city and the palace city. The imperial city is surrounded by the east, south, and west sides of the palace city, showing a "concave" shape, and the north side is separated from the palace city by a city wall. The walls of the imperial city are all sandwiched, with two layers of walls.There are three layers in the north to increase its defense capability. There are four horizontal streets from east to west in the imperial city, which intersect with the three straight roads from north to south.

Miyagi is the residence of Yang Tong, the young emperor, and the place where he received his ministers. To the north of Miyagi, there are two cities of Yaoyi and Yuanbi, which put Miyagi in heavy siege, and the tight defense is even better than the imperial city of Jiangdu. The fleet slowly landed at the pier outside the imperial city, Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Because Li Mi didn't know that you and Shu Ni had already escaped, so the news should not have been sent back to Luoyang, but now that Yang Tong is completely defenseless, I am afraid it is still unknown. I, Wang Shichong, have returned."

Kou Zhongdao: "This is called using the quick to beat the slow. As long as we can control Yang Yu, the Dugu Clan will lose their greatest support. At that time, they will not be able to decide whether to kill or cut." Wang Shichong said: "Although Dugufeng's martial arts are high, I still don't pay attention to them, but that old lady You Chuhong is really extraordinary. Although there are many masters under my banner, I'm afraid no one can stop her. If she slips through the net and escapes Go, it will be a great disaster." Kou Zhong was surprised, "Why didn't the Shangshu mention Dugufeng?"

Wang Shichong said in amazement: "Why mention her?" Kou Zhong knew something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "My friend Ba Fenghan once fought Dugufeng, and he almost couldn't get away. It is said that her martial arts has surpassed Dugufeng, second only to You Chuhong, how could Shangshu know nothing about it?" of?" Wang Shichong once witnessed Ba Fenghan's unparalleled martial arts in Pengcheng, and he changed his face when he heard the words: "If this happened, then maybe the Dugu Clan still has other hidden strengths to plot against me." Kou Zhong nodded and said: "It must be so, we must deal with it carefully, otherwise if one goes wrong, we will suffer a big loss." The boat was moored, and Wang Shichong took the lead to get off the boat. Xu Ziling calmed down a little after walking half a street with his head bowed. Especially the roadsides are full of trees, surrounded by green shade, and the sky is white clouds and blue sky, and the spring is beautiful, so I try my best to put aside the irreparable hatred between Li Jing and Su Su, and concentrate on the construction of Luoyang City. Since leaving the Pegasus Ranch, whenever he has space, he has taken out Lu Miaozi's remnants to read and study. He already has a lot of experience in the way of architecture, so at this time, he can use the eyes of an expert to browse through the careful planning in advance, conforming to the terrain, and meticulous layout. The famous capital of the world. Xu Ziling's mood became brighter, and he strolled through the streets and alleys. No matter where he went, the streets and alleys were neatly squared, like a chessboard.The dwellings are evenly distributed among the chess grids, in order. A group of children were playing in an open space, and innocent laughter filled the surrounding space. It reminded him of the childhood years he and Kou Zhong spent in Yangzhou. They seemed to have never tried playing like this before. Struggling for food and clothing, and dealing with bullying from others. When he was engrossed in his thoughts, there was a sound of wind behind him. Looking back suddenly.The person who came was Liu Heita, the number one general under Dou Jiande. When Wang Shichong stepped onto the pier, a middle-aged general greeted him, and after saluting, he said, "Everything is properly arranged, Shangshu, please rest assured." This person is quite tall, only an inch shorter than Kou Zhong, with a horse face, a tuft of goatee beard, and sparkling eyes, obviously a master of both internal and external cultivation. Wang Shichong introduced: "This is General Lang Feng. When I am away, he and General Song Mengqiu will be responsible for the affairs of Luoyang." Kou Zhong suddenly realized that he was Wang Shichong's confidant. At the same time also secretly stunned. Just looking at the current peaceful situation, one knows that Wang Shichong has instructed Lang Feng and Song Mengqiu to secretly mobilize troops and horses to control the imperial city through a special communication channel. So don't look at Wang Shichong who seemed at a loss when he first heard that the situation was not good, but the old fox is an old fox after all. Lang Fengdao: "Master Shangshu, please!" Wang Shichong smiled calmly, and took the lead in striding towards the Duanmen that entered the imperial city.
