Chapter 142: Ma Yue Xiliang

If you get new news, Anxi Road will never return. ---------Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi "Western Cool Dance"

It is said that Diao Chan saw the iron arrow in Chen Long's study and inadvertently revealed the truth. It turned out that the assassination of Chen Long with a secret arrow was arranged by Wang Yun Chun Yuqiong, who had been hiding in Wang Yun's mansion since Dong Zhuo was deposed. After Wang Yun lost power, Chun Yuqiong fled from Luoyang, Kyoto, and took refuge in Yuan Shao, who did not mention it at the beginning.

A conversation with Diao Chan made Chen Long wake up, although Wang Yun lost power, he was still the leader of Luoyang in the Dong Alliance, and his reputation was not low. After eliminating Dong Zhuo in the future, if he can make Wang Yun come back and recognize the status of Empress He and Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty, it will be of great help to stabilize the situation.

Looking at Diao Chan's flower-like smile, Long Chen couldn't help but think of Cai Yan again. Forcibly suppressing the urge to immediately go to Cao Cao to retrieve Cai Yan, Long Chen instructed Lu Changdao: "You arrange two clever people to go to the place where Cao Cao's troops are stationed to secretly investigate where Cao Cao hid Cai Yan." If you find Cai Yan's traces, report it immediately. ”

Lu Chang immediately picked two people from the special forces team members and assigned tasks, and the two people dressed up as civilians and left. Chen Long felt a little at ease, at least in the official history, Cao Cao should not be too bad for Cai Yan. If Cai Yan can live a peaceful and happy life with Cao Cao, it is better than being taken away by the Huns, and Cao Cao has done a good thing.

In Chen Long's heart, he still held the illusion that Cai Yan could be happy, so he let go of his thoughts about Cai Yan a little. Talking and laughing with Diao Chan every day, I found that Diao Chan's personality is lively and wise, both rigid and soft, and very good at coaxing men to be happy, and the two gradually talk to each other, but they are like a pair of good friends.

On the tenth day after Cai Yan's disappearance, Chen Long and Lu Chang put on fresh clothes and angry horses again, and Shi Shiran walked out of the gate and went to the kiln. This time, Niu Fu wanted to go with him, but he didn't expect that General Baihu seemed to have forgotten to invite him, so he had to give up and never send anyone to follow him. Diao Chan in the mansion heard Lu Chang's loud voice shouting to visit the kiln again, pinched Xiaochan heavily and said, "It's you who took the general badly, and dragged the general to a romantic place all day long." Xiaochan said unjustly: "Wrong, Miss, he is not my man...... Who knows that men are all that virtuous, there are two big beauties in the family, and they have to go out to have a romantic relationship. "Don't beat the anger of a sable cicada.

In the southwest corner of Luoyang City, it is a gold cave where men are drunk and dreaming of death. even gambled with prostitutes, indulged in alcohol, and didn't know how many people went bankrupt. Of course, there are also members of the imperial court and children of wealthy families lingering in the meantime, their grades are much higher, and they are all luxury green buildings like Red Sleeve Garden, and the price of the lady is really expensive, and whether the lady sells or not depends on whether the lady likes the guests, which is completely voluntary.

Chen Long and Lu Chang brought two or three team members, and when they saw that Niu Fu really didn't lead anyone to follow them, they pretended to wander along the alley and began to circle around the Qinglou area. The lights in the alley were dim, and from time to time a few pimped turtle customers, or scantily clad pheasants, dragged men into the small door, Chen Long looked amazed, thinking that in the leather and meat business, ancient and modern, there were no major innovations.

The turtle guest saw that Chen Long's group was dressed beautifully, but he didn't come to provoke him, knowing that it was not his source of customers. Low-income people such as dock workers, peddlers, pawns, housekeepers, boatmen, etc., are their regular customers. Chen Long saw that the courtyards he had passed were all very small, obviously not a rich area, and shook his head slightly: "Not here." Go straight to the other side and take a look. ”

A few people walked out of the alley, crossed a gallop road, and found that the buildings on the opposite side were indeed much more orderly, and there were few idlers, and some of the gates were already guarded by swordsmen. Lu Chang said: "General, I think this is like a rich area." ”

Long Chen nodded and said, "All of them are scattered, and each of them is in charge of an alley to check." I found a portal without lights and guards, so I tried to get in and have a look. An hour later, I gathered here to report and discover. Brother Yu, you go with me. ”

Lu Chang nodded, chose a deep alley, and the two of them were not in a hurry and wandered in. At the door of the alley is a big family, the lights at the door are brilliant, and several families are angry when they see the two idlers. Chen Long and the others turned a blind eye and specially searched for the silent and unmanned compound to check.

After walking through a deep alley, there was already a high city wall in front of it, but nothing was found. The two calculated that there was still time, so they walked along the city wall towards the Luoshui edge, and soon saw the black pressure boat, docked at the water's edge in the city.

Chen Long suddenly stretched out his hand to stop his figure, pulled Lu Chang against the wall, waved his hand to signal Lu Chang not to speak, and stared at the shadow of the boat. Although it was impossible to distinguish in the darkness, soon there was a sound of Suosuo, coming from a medium-sized merchant ship on the shore, and several black shadows rose from the roof of the merchant ship's shed, and several rose and fell, and disappeared into the darkness of other ships.

Chen Long was curious, he didn't expect to find a night walker here, and he was just wondering what forces had infiltrated Luoyang, so he walked in a generous direction, came to the side of the boat with Lu Chang, and jumped onto the boat. Obviously, everyone on the boat went out to investigate, and no one came out to stop them, Chen Long silently lifted an open window door, turned over and entered the cabin, and shook the fire casually.

The cabin was very simple, with only a table, a few futons, and a few bedding laid out for sleeping. Chen Long searched around, picked up a few hidden bamboo slips from under the futon, and when he opened them, he saw one of them written: "Brother Jun Rong: My brother is in Xiliang, and he has to pretend to submit to the rebels. However, all he thought about day and night was how to break away from the rebels, eliminate the Dong thieves, and rebuild the Han family. Fortunately, Brother Junrong summoned him by letter, and my son Meng Qi and I dared to disobey my fate. Now he has led 5,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to go deep into the Qiang realm, and become brothers with tens of thousands of Qiang people, slightly out of the control of Wenyue. Then he sent several subordinates to Kyoto to contact, if I was lucky to see it, I would like to listen to Brother Junrong's orders, erect a banner of rebellion, and persuade Wenyue to surrender to the new dynasty. "The payment is made by Brother Shoucheng.

When Chen Long saw Meng Qi's name, he already vaguely knew whose letter it was. I asked my brain to search for a few names mentioned in this letter, and after checking it, I couldn't help but turn up a huge wave in my heart.

Junrong is the expression of Sun Rui, the ruler of Luoyang City. Wen Yue is the current leader of the Xiliang rebel generals, Han Sui's cousin. Shou Cheng is the later great warlord of Xiliang, the current subordinate of Han Sui, and Ma Teng's cousin. Meng Qi is naturally the brave champion of the three armies, the five tiger generals of the Shu Kingdom in the official history, and Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi who can fight with Lu Bu.

Chen Long looked through several other books, which were written to Wang Yun, Yang Xun, and Zhou Shen; Obviously, Ma Teng's envoy had just arrived, and he had not yet arrived to distribute these letters, so it was estimated that he would go out tonight to familiarize himself with the terrain, find out the addresses of every household, and investigate the situation. Once it is confirmed that there is no danger, Ma Teng will become an important chess piece buried in Xiliang by the Dong Alliance.

Chen Long thought about it again and again, and didn't know how to use Ma Teng's troops for the time being. His own troops in Chang'an are weak, can he lead Ma Teng's troops into strengthening the city defense? Or let Ma Teng revolt on the spot and merge with Han Suihuo, it seems that it can also liberate the troops of Huangfu Song and Sun Jian and use them to defend Chang'an. If Zhao Yun can rush to the periphery of Chang'an in time to defeat Huaxiong, plus the Dong Alliance attacks the Tiger Prison Pass to lure away Lu Bu and Xu Rong, and then uses the jade seal of the country to exchange Yuan Shu's troops to enter Luoyang to kill Dong, it seems that he can succeed in a battle.

Chen Long silently stuffed the bamboo slips as they were, returned to the shore the same way, submerged into the darkness, and returned to the place where they were concentrated. Sure enough, one of the team members made a discovery: "In the alley below, there is a courtyard that is not big or small, and it is pitch black. As I climbed over the wall, I saw that the courtyard had obviously not been used for a long time, but the furnishings were extraordinary, and even the tea bowls and trays did not seem to be readily available in the street market outside. The subordinates went to the toilet to take a look, and found that the toilet was very wide and neat, not only clean, but also piled up with several long garden-shaped wooden barrels. He snorted as he spoke.

Chen Long smiled angrily and gave the team member a violent shudder and said, "Forget you, you are still observing carefully." What is your name? The head leads the way. ”

The team member stood up and said, "The little one is called Zhang Bai." As he spoke, he led the way in front of him, and led everyone to the outside of a house, and when he saw that there was no one around, they all jumped in from the courtyard wall.

Sure enough, although the small courtyard is not large, it is very delicate and neat, and the furniture, dishes, cups and plates used have a faint royal atmosphere. There is a thin layer of dust on the tables and chairs, obviously since the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the internal chaos of the palace, Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty are still young, and there are no longer those who invite pets, so naturally this small courtyard will be clean.

Chen Long ordered a search, and Lu Chang, Zhang Bai and others began to inspect from beginning to end, inch by inch. Chen Long also used the eyes of an expert to look around at the furnishings of each room, and saw that the furnishings were simple, and there were no traces of complicated organs, only in the bedroom, for the comfort of the emperor, many moods were created, full of incense and pillows, and curtains and curtains were hung all around, but after careful inspection, nothing was found.

Chen Long frowned and raised his head, looked at the backyard from the bedroom, and saw that there seemed to be a small rockery standing in the dark backyard. I saw a small stone hole on the rockery, but it was a pond on the other side, and there seemed to be no mechanism.

Chen Long groped around in the stone cave, even underground, but found no movable stones or floor tiles. I couldn't help squatting on the edge of the pond, looking at the slight light in the pond in a daze.

The water reflected the shallow moonlight, hazy, and seemed to have a little ripple. Chen Long looked at the opposite side of the pond, which was the courtyard wall, and couldn't help sighing, it seems that this is undoubtedly the place where the emperor entertains, but where is the exit of the tunnel?

Several members of the special forces gathered behind Chen Long, searching for exits in the outer courtyards. After finding nothing, they began to gather together to whisper and discuss whether they had found the wrong courtyard.

Chen Long's gaze fell on the well again, thinking about it again. How could the emperor get wet and drill out of the well every time, and what kind of dignity did the royal dignity become? What to do if you fall into the well again and drown.

Chen Long was unwilling, knowing that he had met a master of the agency. Looking at the case of the mechanism in the light brain, I suddenly noticed an article about the sandwich wall in later generations. Chen Long began to measure the dimensions of the perimeter along the wall outside the house, and made detailed records of each room. Then through the window door, I estimated the thickness of the wall, and then entered the house and began to measure.

The rooms were measured one by one from the inside, and the thickness of the walls was added to see if they matched the dimensions of the outside. finally came to the big toilet that Zhang Bai admired very much. The toilet itself was very huge, and after a few people measured it, Zhang Bai suddenly pointed to the wall behind the royal squatting pit and cheered: "Lord, the width of the interior here is eighteen steps, and the thickness of the wall is one and a half steps, but the outer measurement just now is twenty-one steps!" One and a half steps are missing! ”

Long Chen laughed and said, "What a cunning organ architect! Come on, give me a good look at what's behind the royal toilet! ”
