Chapter 209: Return to Luoyang
There are no words for each other, only a thousand tears. Sun Quan and Yu'er stared at each other in confusion.
"Why do you go where there is no road?" Sun Quan subconsciously asked.
"Isn't this afraid that the slut of Cihang Jingzhai will catch up." Yu'er replied.
Yu'er is right, you can ride a horse, and others won't find a horse to ride? If you take the right path, it is not too obvious, and you may even be intercepted by other disciples of Cihang Jingzhai in front of you. Only where there is no road, only walking around, is the best choice for Sun Quan and Yu'er today. And even so, if there is a tracking master on Cihang Jingzhai's side, if they don't go fast, they may also be caught up.
One is pampered, the other is fine-skinned and tender-meat, and the two guys who insisted on choosing to take the official road guest house were finally forced to choose the route suggested by Zu Mao at that time, but unfortunately, Zu Mao has no peers now.
"So what do we do now? Penis? ”
Yu'er has long regarded Sun Quan as her backbone, and besides, she really has no idea now.
The corners of Sun Quan's eyes twitched slightly,
"You've been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, don't you have a little experience of surviving in the wilderness?"
Yu'er smiled,
"My sister walks the rivers and lakes, relying on pit abduction and abduction, as long as there is money, where can I go!"
"Do we have money now?" Sun Quan asked rhetorically.
"There's no money to steal, you can rob!" Yu'er subconsciously replied, she had always done this before, after all, Yu'er, who has no family background, when did she have money? But Yu'er is more chic than most people at any time, and every time she passes through a town, the big families in it will suffer, and on the official road, she may also rely on her martial arts to rob the merchants who pass by.
Don't look at Yu'er like this, but she never does things too much, doesn't rob much, basically doesn't kill people, in a word, never makes a mortal enemy. And most of the victims saw that she was a top master, and when their own losses were not large, it was impossible to provoke her, let alone spend huge manpower and material resources to hunt her down afterwards. Including those masters who were approached by her to duel, they were all people who talked about identity, and they rarely really embarrassed her as a woman.
In short, Yu'er has rarely experienced the days of surviving in the wilderness.
"Is there someone here who steals from us, robs us?" Sun Quan asked angrily, he is not a bad person, let alone a defender, Sun Quan is not unable to do bad things, the key is that he must have the opportunity to do it!
"I mean, you haven't had a time to run for your life before?" Sun Quan asked without giving up. Coming from modern times, he doesn't have any experience in surviving in the wild, and the only thing that can be called experience is probably a picnic. But I have never eaten pork, I have always seen pigs running, and Sun Quan has also watched a lot of TV shows about survival in the wild, but because of this, Sun Quan is a little afraid to mess around.
The so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, in Yu'er's eyes, surviving in the wilderness is just a little harder, it is really not good, gritting his teeth and passing. But Sun Quan thinks more, he has to think about survival, although encountering wild beasts is no longer dangerous for those who practice martial arts, but what about encountering poisons? What should I do if I get infected with germs? What if there is no water source? Drink N? Also, it's good to have a beast, but if you don't meet a beast, would you eat the crunchy "protein" of chicken? Also, starting a fire is a problem。。。。。。 And so on and so forth.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if all of these things can be overcome, there is one biggest problem, and that is direction. Although Sun Quan still has the most basic sense of direction, as long as he identifies a direction according to the sun every day, he can always get out of this wilderness, but in this era, there are very few towns, if he really uses this method, maybe Sun Quan and the two will go directly to the mouth of the Yangtze River to suddenly open up. By that time, a few months have passed, and you don't know how much the world has changed, and at worst, it is impossible for Sun Jian, the pillar of their Sun family, to have died on the battlefield.
Smart people are often like this, thinking too much and worrying too much, which may not be a problem in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Sun Quan's case, it has become a top problem. Sun Quan decided that when he returned to Jiangdong this time, it seemed that he would have to find someone to train him in the ability to survive in the wild. But that's a story for later, so what?
After thinking about it, Sun Quan's eyes narrowed and he made a decision,
"Let's go back."
"Go back?" Yu'er's eyes widened, she admitted that Sun Quan's thoughts were a little wild, but now go back, "What if those people from Cihang Jingzhai haven't left yet, or haven't finished yet?" ”
Sun Quan shook his head,
"I'm not talking about going back to the town just now, I mean, let's go back to Luoyang. Anyway, let's take out the heirloom jade seal first! ”
Now that Sun Quan no longer plans to hand over the heirloom jade seal to Qin Chuan, it will be very unsafe to leave things in Luoyang for a long time. If he really went back to Jiangdong directly, Sun Quan wanted to go out again and take out the jade seal, the difficulty was estimated to be not small, and it had even fallen into the hands of others. The most important thing is that Sun Quan believes that the road to Luoyang should be absolutely safe now!
They have exposed their whereabouts in Xu County, so Cihang Jingzhai will definitely fortify the roads from Xu County to Jiangdong, and if you want to go back to Jiangdong, you really have to go through the jungle. Since there is no hope of crossing the jungle, it is better not to return to Jiangdong for the time being. Sun Quan doesn't believe that there are so many people in Cihang Jingzhai, there are so many that they can't use them up, so many that they can waste manpower and material resources at will, how can Sun Quan be, they won't hunt him down Sun Quan in all directions.
In addition, Sun Quan actually had a worry, once his side disappeared completely, Cihang Jingzhai would focus on his father Sun Jian's side. Therefore, Sun Quan also had another purpose to take out the jade seal, which was to help his father share the pressure. At that time, as long as he shows his face a little and exposes the jade seal in his hands, if the world is unprofitable, I believe it will be impossible to find Sun Jian, who is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, to fight hard! Of course, this may bring great danger to Sun Quan himself, but Sun Quan thinks that as long as he finds a place where no one can find the heirloom jade seal again, and there is a battle to rely on, the major forces will never hurt his life!
······
Luoyang,
When I came here again, it was a matter of fact. Luoyang was prosperous back then, Luoyang was dilapidated last time, but now Luoyang is gradually regaining its vitality. Sun Quan still underestimated the value of the name "Luoyang" in the eyes of the world, and even underestimated the ancients' yearning for the treasure land of feng shui.
In the past, all the major forces in Luoyang were forcibly taken away by Dong Zhuo, back then, because Luoyang was a gathering place for nobles, unless you were a prominent person, unless you were a relative of the emperor, otherwise, no matter how big the market and interests were, you couldn't get a piece of the pie, and it was useless to be greedy. But now, the original forces are all gone, and the alliance of princes has withdrawn from Luoyang one after another, except for Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, who nominally owns Luoyang, in fact, because he is worried about Dong Zhuo's counterattack, he did not really send people to defend Luoyang at all, but just sent some basic officials to maintain basic order.
This makes those ordinary people who originally yearn for Kyoto, but have no ability to live in the capital, so that those businessmen who originally coveted the huge cake of Luoyang, but were not qualified to reach out, suddenly flocked to it, the so-called wealth and danger in seeking, they are not unaware of the current risks of Luoyang, but they are still afraid that they will have no chance if they are late!
During this time, the merchant families in the Central Plains region attached great importance to this opportunity, sent the elites of the clan, sent a huge caravan, and rushed to Luoyang, they knew very well that Luoyang was the most scarce time for supplies. Their purpose this time is not to make money, but to gain a foothold in Luoyang. Families in other regions, and even in the Jiangdong region, as long as there are people with lofty ideals, they have also sent people here, and they know that because of geography, they can't have an advantage, but maybe they can still pick up a leak? No matter how bad it is, it is convenient to establish a stronghold base in Luoyang in the long run. You must know that the current Luoyang is full of borderless land! (Although Wang Kuang co-opted those empty houses, he couldn't manage them at all, and he didn't think he could occupy Luoyang for a long time, so as long as there was a family willing to buy it, he could basically sell it, and the one with the highest price would get it.) Even if it was the mansion of a high-ranking official back then, as long as you dared to buy and live, then Wang Kuang would dare to sell it. As for Dong Zhuo coming back in the future, or the other princes get Luoyang, and you are driven out, it is no longer his business with Wang Kuang)
Of course, businessmen are shrewd people, especially in this era, businessmen are quite low-key, not to mention low-status. They will never touch the official's residential area, but there are also some smart ones who will spend money to buy it, and even spend money to make it better, but they will not live in it themselves, just thinking that the high-ranking official will come back in the future, and they will offer it with both hands, and then get a favor. Most businessmen chose the wealthy areas of Luoyang at the beginning, or some bustling downtown areas, in the words of later generations, now is a good time to get land at a low price.
If Luoyang was a large shopping mall back then, all kinds of management were well organized, making people feel very comfortable, very classy, and even daily communication would lower their voices and be polite, then Luoyang is now a vegetable market, with all kinds of characters, stalls everywhere, selling all kinds of things, shouting constantly, completely losing the majesty of the feet of the Son of Heaven, but it seems to be a little more lively than before.
Seeing this situation, Sun Quan was confused.
Not only did he destroy nearly half of Luoyang City, but he could recover to this point in a short period of time; Sun Quan is even more confused that the total population of Luoyang City may be higher than the original, just like those big cities in the previous life, the same house, rich people can buy a set of houses, and they may not necessarily live there, but those who are struggling to make a living often have several people sharing a house and squeezing together.
Of course, Sun Quan's judgment at this moment was actually wrong, because he only saw the most prosperous and lively area in Luoyang today, and there are actually several deserted areas that are almost ghost towns in Luoyang now. But what the facts are, it does not affect Sun Quan's degree of confusion, because Sun Quan doesn't care about the development of Luoyang City at all, what he cares about is that the place where he has the jade seal of the Tibetan country will not be inhabited by anyone, right? !
"We're holding on!" Sun Quan's face was serious. Yu'er on the side also realized the seriousness of the situation.
