On the seventh day of July, the sky was dark and cloudy.

Mu Jing led his troops back to the capital city of Luoyang.

And at this moment, Luoyang City has the name of an imperial capital, but it is just an empty city.

The Xiliang army has taken the Son of Heaven hostage and stayed, taking away the civil and military officials of the entire imperial court, and also taking the millions of people in Luoyang City along the road in the southwest direction, and has already gone towards Chang'an.

However, there is one thing that is different from history, they did not burn the city to the ground.

In history, when the Western Liang Army went south, it burned the city of Luoyang and became a city of ruins.

But this time they went south, but they didn't do it, perhaps because they thought in their hearts that leaving this Luoyang City would allow the Mu soldiers and horses and the Kwantung Coalition Army to fight for a fish and break the net, and then they could reap the benefits of the fishermen.

"We're back!"

Standing under the gate of Luoyang, looking at the majestic city wall and the empty city head, there was a throbbing in the mood of the pastoral scene.

He never imagined that returning to Luoyang would be such a scene.

Up and down the mushroom mountain, all the way to survival.

From the moment he agreed to the Battle of Runan, he began to work hard to change everything.

In the end, I found that after giving everything, it was in vain.

History is still moving towards an irreversible trend.

"Lord, there are no Xiliang soldiers and horses in the city, most of the people have also been taken hostage, and only some of the people who have time to be taken away by the Xiliang army in the future!" Huang Zhong was the vanguard, and he had already entered the city to investigate, and soon reported the results of the investigation.

"Zhang Liao!" Mu Jing pondered for a moment and snorted.

"In!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he rode his horse out from behind and stood by.

"You lead the Jingping army to pursue to the southwest!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "Pursue them for a hundred miles, stop at the point, if you encounter a forced sniper, you can lead your troops back, they take millions of people, the team is bloated, they will not go far, press them, but mess up their minds, they want to go south, I can't stop them, but don't think so smooth!" ”

Although the Xiliang army withdrew from Chang'an, the heavy troops were definitely still in Hongnong and Hedong, and they would never give up any opportunity to encircle and suppress the Mu army.

Whenever there is an opportunity to weaken their strength, Mu Jing will not let it go.

"No!"

Zhang Liao led Jingping's army and pursued in the southwest direction.

"Zhao Ping!"

"In!"

"The Violent Bear Army is on guard around to ensure the safety of Luoyang, remember, especially in the south, beware of the Jiangdong Army!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

If it is said that among the Kwantung coalition forces, who will be most likely to come to Luoyang, it must be the Jiangdong Army.

"No!"

Zhao Ping led the Violent Bear Army to set up camp around Luoyang, guarding a radius of dozens of miles from Luoyang, and placing the most powerful Violent Bear Camp under his command outside the southern suburbs to guard against the Jiangdong Army in the south.

"Huang Shao!"

"In!"

"You immediately lead your troops to the north, encounter the Xiliang army, kill them, enter the mountain, and pick up Chen to Jiang Lu and they return!"

"No!"

Huang Shao led his troops to the north to meet the soldiers and horses of the fifth battalion of Ha Jingping, the main force of the two battalions of the Violent Bear Army, which was oppressed in the north.

Mu Jing, escorted by the Baibo army led by Huang Zhong, began to enter the city.

He rode on the back of the red mastiff's horse, every step was very steady, from Zhengyang Street straight to the palace gate, and finally he stood at the palace gate, slowly raised his head, looking at the body that was hung by the flagpole, has been burned, in the sun and rain, has long been out of shape.

"Father?" Mu Jing's body trembled, his tiger eyes were full of tears, at this moment, the tears he had endured for countless days finally broke out.

He jumped off his horse and struggled to get up.

"Lord, I'm going to put Xiangguo-sama down!" Huang Zhong stepped forward.

"No!"

Mu Jing pushed away everyone around him, and he stepped forward step by step: "I'll come personally!" ”

Step by step, he slowly stepped forward and lowered the rope himself, and the corpse, in the middle of the current July sky, under the sultry world, had begun to decay, and even saw some white bones on the joints exposed.

"Dong Zhongying, Li Wenyou, the revenge of killing my father, insulting my father's bones, this revenge will not be avenged, the sky will thunder!" Mu Jing hugged the rotting corpse tightly, looking up to the sky and howling, his voice was mournful and sad, and tears rolled away.

He had a grudge against his father, but at this moment, his resentment disappeared.

Rumble!!!

Above the nine skies, lightning flashed and thundered.

It was as if the heavens felt the north, and a heavy rain fell suddenly.

The rain was falling on the father and son, making them look even more sad.

……

The rain didn't rain for long, it stopped in the evening, and a touch of sunset appeared on the horizon, and under the sunset, it made this city look like the sun that was about to fall.

South Palace, above the main hall of the court.

The golden coffin is centered.

In the coffin, a corpse was parked, and this corpse had already been able to tidy up, but after these years of decay, it had long ceased to be human.

Mu Jing put on a plain white robe and knelt in the middle of his knees.

There were only two of them in the hall.

Mu Jing had already retired from everyone, and he wanted to talk to his father quietly for a while.

"For a woman, is it worth it?"

"Do you love her, and she loves you?"

"You said you, you have a pure heart and few desires all your life, and finally became famous, but you fell in love with a woman you shouldn't love, knowing that this will become your weakness, you still have no hesitation!"

"Sometimes I really don't know what to say about you?"

"If I had stopped it, wouldn't it be what it is today?"

"I thought I was doing it for your good, think about you, an old guy, I haven't loved anyone in my life, and I finally fell in love with one, then let it be you, as long as you are happy, everything is fine!"

"It's my acquiescence, let you be unscrupulous, after all, I'm too confident, self-confidence can control everything, if I don't condone you, if I had opposed it at the beginning, you might be a little jealous of my son!"

"Actually, I haven't told you that although my son and I have been separated from you for 1,800 years, I really love you!"

“……”

Sometimes he laughs, sometimes he cries, and he nags one after another.

It's dark outside.

In the palace, the oil lamps were lit one by one, and the light was as bright as day.

Outside the main hall, Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong stood side by side.

"Just now, the scouts of the Violent Bear Army came with news that they had discovered the Jiangdong Army!"

Huang Zhong said in a low voice.

Xi Zhicai glanced at the hall, thought for a while, and said: "You first lead the Baibo Army to reinforce the Violent Bear Army, and your two armies must stabilize the two defense lines in the southeast!" ”

"You can't stay in the capital for long!"

Huang Zhong thought about it, looked at the figure in the hall, and said in a low voice

"You know, he understands, don't worry!"

Xi Zhicai said calmly: "He has a sense of proportion! ”

"Then I'll lead the White Polish Army to reinforce first!"

Huang Zhong nodded, then turned to leave.

"Hey!"

After Xi Zhicai sighed, he slowed down and walked in from the outside, he was also wearing a white robe, kneeling down, facing Mu Jing's back, and reported: "Zhao Ping just sent news that he found the scouts of the Jiangdong Army eighty miles away in the southern suburbs!" ”

Mu Jing slowly stood up, his eyes flashed with a touch of anger, thinking of Jiangdongjun coming back, but he didn't expect to come so early, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he replied to the question: "My father is the minister of the Han Dynasty, and I want to bury my father for the whole country, and in addition, I want to personally keep filial piety for my father for seven days!" ”

"Ryu understood!"

Xi Zhicai trembled and nodded.

Mu Jing's meaning is already very clear, keep filial piety for seven days, and within seven days, any soldiers and horses dare to attack Luoyang, then fight, at any cost.

……

The next day.

Huang Shao had already received Chen's troops from Jiang Lu to return to Beijing, this time it was very smooth, the Xiliang army had already retreated, and gave up encircling and suppressing Jiang Lu, so they went straight to the north, quickly responded, and then immediately went south.

When they entered the capital, they saw that the capital was lonely, and there were few people in the streets and alleys.

"Sir, where is the son?"

Jiang Lu's expression was very tired, he looked at Hu Zhao who came up, and asked in a low voice.

These days, he is tormented by self-blame.

It's his fault.

If he was cautious, he might not let the Xiliang army succeed.

"In the palace, keep a vigil for Lord Xiangguo!"

Hu Zhao glanced at Jiang Lu: "Haoming, he is not the son of the world now, he is the lord, the lord of all of us, the lord of today, is no longer the son of the past, he may not be so merciful, you ......"

He was silent for a moment: "Do it yourself!" ”

Jiang Lu stayed in Luoyang, but he couldn't keep the lord Mushan, and he should be punished for both public and private.

"Jiang is derelict in his duties, and he should be punished!"

Jiang Lu smiled indifferently, and there was a touch of relief in his smile: "The lord is good, the great luck in the misfortune, the Mu family still has the master!" ”

As he spoke, he was escorted by the soldiers and headed towards the palace.

"Daddy, I'm going to keep a wake for my father!"

Cai Yan followed from behind, and after saying hello to Cai Yong, she set up a carriage, escorted by the four maidservants in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and headed towards the palace.

"Cai Shangshu, let's talk!" Hu Zhao stepped forward, his eyes were lifelike, and he looked at Cai Yong in the carriage.

He came for Cai Yong.

"It's been like this, what's there to talk about!"

Cai Yongpan sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and recuperated, he had seen a lot of ups and downs, but this time, he was really desperate, and he could even predict the despair of the Han River in the future.

He tried his best, but he never could protect the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the country of the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, he was a little tired.

"Cai Shangshu, you are the father of the lord and the great Confucian of Shilin, I want you to crown the lord, and then inherit the lord of the Marquis of Ming!" Hu Zhao said.

Men twenty and the crown salute, the word, for the rite of adulthood, can be filial piety into the official position, can succeed the title of the head of the family.

Although this era has collapsed, sometimes you don't pay much attention to age.

But the crown salute is still a more important turning point for a person.

Mu Jing wants to be the master of the house, he must perform the crown ceremony, although Mu Jing's age is less than twenty now, but after the crown ceremony, it is an adult, no longer a yellow-mouthed child.

"My lord?"

When Cai Yong heard this, his eyes burst with a cold glow: "Mulong Diagram!" ”
