Chapter 1146: The Wind of a King
A day later.
Luoyang City Gate.
Dozens of soldiers of the Qin army, surrounded by a snow-white war horse in the middle, slowly entered the city.
The mounts under the crotch of the Qin cavalry were all northern horses, which were tall and sturdy, which was their common characteristic.
But under the backdrop of the snow-white war horse in the middle, all the mounts of the Qin army looked much shorter.
This war horse, in terms of divine horses and spirits, is definitely not under Lu Bu's red rabbit.
Surrounded by this war horse into the city, the people on the road will give them a second glance when they make way for them.
In Luoyang City, it is often possible to see the Qin army going out, and it is not uncommon for the people to see war horses.
But they had never seen a god horse other than Chitu.
"This horse is so powerful!" A young man standing on the side of the road whispered to the middle-aged man beside him and asked, "Brother Dog, you have been collecting horses in the Northland all year round, have you ever seen a sturdy divine steed like it?" ”
"You can't ask for it!" The middle-aged man who was called "Brother Dog" by the young man shook his head and said: "Although the northern horse is tall, it is just like a war horse in the army, such as this kind of divine horse, except for the red rabbit that Wen Hou, I have never seen a second horse!" ”
"Could it be that Daqin's army broke through Xudu and robbed Cao Cao's horses?" Obviously very curious about the origin of this divine horse, the young man asked the middle-aged man again.
Looking at the divine horse, the middle-aged man did not say a word.
As a horse dealer, he often had to provide war horses for the army, and he was more interested in the horse itself than in its origin.
Surrounded by a team of snow-white divine horses, along the street, slowly marched towards the Qin Palace.
When he arrived at the palace, the officer who led the team turned over and jumped off the horse, ran to the gate quickly, and said to the guards guarding the gate with his fists: "Your Royal Highness, General Wei found two divine horses in Xudu, one of them is Lu, and the other General Wei can't say it, so I specially ordered me to send this horse to Luoyang and pay tribute to His Highness!" ”
On the way to the palace along the street, the guards had already seen the horses surrounded by them.
Knowing that the horse was presented by Wei Yan to Liu Wei, the guard did not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly returned the salute with his fists and said, "Don't wait!" He turned around and ran towards the back garden of the palace.
The surroundings of Luoyang have been stabilized, and these days, Liu Bian's life is quite leisurely.
In addition to dealing with some daily affairs throughout the day, he spent most of his remaining time with the princess and children, and of course, occasionally invited some generals or staff to talk in the palace.
It's just that among the generals he invited, there was no Xu Huang for a long time!
When the guards ran into the back garden, Liu Wei was sitting by the lake, listening to Cai Yan playing the yaoqin.
Once upon a time, he had to listen to Cai Yan play a song every day, so that his mood would be a little quieter.
Thinking of those days back then, he felt a little emotional.
From not having a soldier under his command, to going through life and death, starting from recruiting the remnants of the Yellow Turban, he gradually developed his own strength, and now there is still a momentum to unify the Central Plains.
Over the years, he has experienced a lot and grown a lot, and he knows that to survive in this world, sometimes he has to make some choices that he is not willing to make.
Now, his mind is no longer as easily agitated as in the past.
Listening to the music played by Cai Yan, he only felt that the main palace was quiet, and the lake in front of him seemed to be staring at it.
Wang Liu and Wang Zhen stood behind them with their swords.
When listening to Cai Yan playing, the two didn't even dare to breathe too heavily, for fear that their wheezing would break the harmony of the melody.
Sitting on a thick cushion, Cai Yan lowered his head and stroked Yaoqin intently.
The strings fluttered to a lilting melody as she plucked them.
In the early years, Cai Yan's songs and songs she made still carried a very strong pathos, but now, this pathetic artistic conception has long been gone, leaving only lightness and ease.
The stability of Liu Wei's status and power brought leisure and tranquility to Cai Yan and every princess.
Guan Qing, who had conquered the battlefield in the past, had already been unarmed for many years, although she would insist on practicing martial arts every day, but the martial arts were only used to strengthen the body, and she no longer needed to follow Liu Wei to fight on the battlefield in person.
As for Tang Ji and Tao Huanniang, they were originally used to being clean, and it was easy to adapt to the current life.
The only one who is not very restless is the Xiongnu.
She is the youngest among the princesses, and she is also the most elven and eccentric on weekdays, and she always comes up with some novel tricks, so that all the princesses are right to her, and even Tang Ji, who manages the entire palace garden, also turns a blind eye to her.
The leisurely life and peaceful environment made the princesses feel the stability that they should have as a woman.
But at the same time, they also knew that this stability was not obtained casually, but Liu Wei and his staff and generals fought hard.
When playing the yaoqin, Cai Yan leaned forward slightly, and the more a pair of jade hands plucked the strings, the more dexterous they became.
Just as Cai Yan was playing the yaoqin wholeheartedly, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen both heard a rush of footsteps behind them.
The sound of footsteps reached their ears, and they both turned around almost at the same time, and saw a guard running towards them at a rapid pace.
When they got behind Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, the guard bowed with his fists in his fists, saluted the two, and then whispered something to Wang Liu.
After listening to the guard's words, Wang Liu turned around, faced Liu Wei and hugged his fists and said: "Your Royal Highness, General Wei Yan got two divine horses in Xudu, one of which was named Lu, was left in Xudu by the general, and the other was snow-white but did not know its name, and the general specially ordered someone to send him to His Highness!" ”
As soon as Wang Liu opened his mouth to speak, Cai Yan stopped playing and looked up at Liu Wei.
Lying on the easy chair, after listening to Wang Liu's report, Liu Wei's eyelids moved slightly, and then he said: "Inform Wei Yan that Lu is at his disposal, and if he is happy, he will leave it for him to ride." Someone else will invite Zilong! As for the horse, let them lead them into the front yard, and when Zilong comes, the king will go with him to see it! ”
"No!" In response, Wang Liu turned around and gave an order to the guards who reported the news.
The guard, who had received the order, also responded, clenched his fists and bowed back two steps before turning around and quickly heading towards the front yard.
The name of Lu, Liu Wei has heard of it.
In his impression, this horse Cao Cao should have been given to Liu Bei, but now he stayed in Xu Du.
Liu Wei has also heard the rumors of the war horse obstructing the master.
Especially this one, Lou, who had ridden it in the past, had died on the battlefield.
Although after seeing Yu Ji, he was also in awe of the gods in his heart, Liu Wei didn't believe that Lu would really interfere with its master.
Give it to Wei Yan, as for whether Wei Yan wants it or not, that's his business.
A snow-white divine horse, when Liu Wei heard this description, he immediately thought of Zhao Yun, the commander of the Tiger Benwei.
Among the generals of the Qin army, Zhao Yun's martial arts, except for Lu Bu, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find an opponent, if he has this war horse, he will definitely be on the battlefield in the future.
With these calculations in his heart, Liu Wei was already planning to reward Zhao Yun with the divine horse sent by Wei Yan, and sat on the leisurely chair, looking at the calm lake in front of him, and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Your Highness has something important to do with General Zhao, and the concubine will retire first!" Cai Yan, who was stroking Yaoqin for Liu Wei, learned that he was going to invite Zhao Yun to come, stood up, and said softly.
Turning his head and smiling at Cai Yan, Liu Wei said in a very soft tone: "I'm tired of Zhao Ji, this king will go to Zhao Ji's bedroom later and listen to the fairy sound." ”
"Zhao Ji is waiting for His Highness!" After blessing Liu Wei, Cai Yan took two steps back, and went to her dormitory surrounded by a group of maids.
After Cai Yan left, several maids cleaned up Yaoqin and the low table, and they all retreated.
Only Liu Wei and Wang Liu, Wang Zhen, who accompanied him, and some guards standing a little farther away remained.
Due to the earlier rebellion of Lu Bu, Hu Benwei's military camp was not very far from the palace.
However, when there was no incense, Zhao Yun entered the back garden under the guidance of the guards.
Zhao Yun, who was dressed in armor but did not wear a long sword, walked quickly to the lake, bowed to Liu Wei with his fists in his fists and said, "The last general will see His Highness!" ”
Hearing Zhao Yun speak, Liu Wei, who was sitting in the leisurely chair, turned his head to look at him, grinned, and stood up.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Liu Wei twisted his neck twice, and said to Zhao Yun with a smile: "Now that you don't have to lead the army in person, you and other generals are here, but you are too lazy to pamper this king." ”
Standing aside, Zhao Yun said with a smile: "His Highness is the backbone of Great Qin, how can he personally lead the army to fight." When His Royal Highness remakes the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he only needs to point out the country, and as for the march and battle, drive me to go! ”
"I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and this king feels a lot fatter!" Walking to Zhao Yun's side, Liu Wei gently patted him on the arm and said, "Fang Cai Zilong entered the palace, did you see a white horse in the palace?" ”
"It's seeing, it's just far away!" Following behind Liu Wei, Zhao Yun said as he walked: "But even if you look at it from a distance, the last general can still see that the horse is really incomparable!" ”
"Let's go and see!" Zhao Yun praised the horse Shenjun, and Liu Wei walked straight to the front yard of the palace with a satisfied smile on his face.
Out of the gate of the back garden, Liu Wei and the others in the distance saw a group of Qin soldiers standing on the side of a horse in the front yard, as if they were afraid that there would be fewer people and the horse would suddenly run away.
Seeing the horse from afar, Liu Wei was also stunned.
It's not that he hasn't seen Shenjun's war horse, even Lu Bu's red rabbit, he has seen it several times.
At the beginning, he secretly admired the handsomeness of Chitu, and when he saw the war horse surrounded by soldiers from afar, he felt a burst of emotion in his heart, this horse, its divine horse is no less than Chitu!
"Your Highness, this horse is handsome, just right for His Highness to ride!" Following behind Liu Wei, looking at the white horse as he walked, Zhao Yun said: "Once Your Highness rides on this horse, you will show the style of a king!" ”
