That night, Zhang Huang and others rested on the bed in the underground secret room arranged for them by Ma Yuanyi.

Ma Yuanyi did not return to the mansion on the ground to live, but continued to stand in the secret room with armillary spheres, continuing to study this technological product developed and improved by Mos and Religious.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was a tick knock on the door outside the wooden door of the secret room.

"Come in." Ma Yuanyi replied softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man of similar age to Taishici walked into the secret room, and after closing the wooden door, he bowed his hand and hugged Ma Yuanyi and clasped his fists.

"It's She Zhi..." Ma Yuanyi glanced at the person coming out of the corner of his eyes, continued to concentrate on the big bump in front of him, and asked casually, "Have those little guys rested?"

The young man named She Zhi nodded and said, "It's arranged." As he said, he paused and said hesitantly, "That boy named Xu Fu may have suspicious of me."

"Oh? How do you see it?"

"I just wanted to arrange two secret rooms for them, but the boy named Xu Fu said that they were used to hudding together... Isn't this a suspicion of me?"

"Haha." Ma Yuanyi chuckled twice, his face full of disapproval.

Seeing this, She Zhi frowned and asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Yuanyi, I don't understand why you are so close to those boys? Even the secrets of the armillary sphere that must not be leaked are revealed to them... Senior Brother Yuanyi must know that there are many more Jinwu Guards patrolling Luoyang City these days than before, it is simply because we knocked down an armillary sphere in the court..."

"What do you want to say?" Ma Yuanyi looked at She Zhi with a smile on his face.

She Zhi showed a bit of solemn expression on her face and said in a deep voice. "I'm afraid those boys are not trustworthy!... This time, Master entrusted us with important matters. If our actions are exposed due to the rigorous details, it may be difficult to explain to Master..."

"Hahaha." Ma Yuanyi smiled immediately after hearing this, nodded and said, "Yes, as you said, that boy named Xu Fu is already doubting our identity. This is not surprising. If a businessman who comes to Luoyang to do business normally, why should he build a secret room under his own mansion to hide his eyes? How could he get the secrets of the Han court?"

"Then..." She Zhi's expression changed slightly.

"Don't worry, that's what I meant to reveal to them..."

"Senior Brother. You..." She Zhi looked at Ma Yuanyi in shock, but saw Ma Yuanyi raising a finger to interrupt him, blinking and saying mysteriously, "Since you can notice that the boy named Xu Fu is suspicious of me, have you not noticed the appearance of those little guys?"

"Look?" She Zhi was stunned when she heard this, and then she looked puzzled and murmured, "To put it... a few of them seem familiar, as if they have seen it somewhere..."

"The wanted order issued by Xuzhou Prefecture three months ago!" Ma Yuanyi smiled and answered the question.

"By the way!" She Zhi suddenly realized and said in surprise, "I remember that it was the group who attacked Fei County and Taishan County. They killed Fei County Commander Ma Yan and Taishan County Commander Wang Hu, and killed Taishan Prefect He Ying, and looted the powerful enemy in Mi Cang in the county!... The thief leader Zang Ba, and his two gangs." Fortunately, Zhang Huang and others were not here at this time, otherwise they would have been half-pierced by She Zhi's words. After all, that reward was already a pain in the hearts of the others except Zang Ba and Taishi Ci. Especially Zhang Huang and Xu Fu, compared to Zang Ba's two thousand taels of wanted silver, the "high" reward of fifty taels of money had been enveloped by them like a nightmare for a long time.

"So it was those 'righteous thieves'. They were indeed chivalrous men!" She Zhi's suspicion towards Zhang Huang and others gradually faded away, and she suddenly realized and said. "No wonder Senior Brother Yuanyi is close to them... Such a person can try to recruit."

Unexpectedly, Ma Yuanyi shook his head when he heard this and said with a chuckle, "If only this is the case, I wouldn't look at those little ghosts with a different look..."

"Huh?" She Zhi was stunned and asked in surprise, "Is that?"

Ma Yuanyi breathed a long sigh and whispered, "Ma Yan, the commander of Fei County, was killed by your senior brother Tang Zhou!" As he said this, the scene he saw at that time appeared in his mind, the scorched earth that was hundreds of feet long. The degree to which the soil was burned was not something that ordinary fire spells could do. In Ma Yuanyi's impression, only Tang Zhou could do it in the Taishan area because he used Taoism to drive an extremely powerful "soul".

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Tang Zhou?...Huh?" She Zhi seemed to have guessed something and said in surprise, "So, those boys actually met Senior Brother Tang Zhou?"

"I'm afraid I'm still in love." Ma Yuanyi said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, how could Tang Zhou risk being blamed by his master to help those boys attack Taishan County? Is it just for the rice warehouses in a few counties?"

"So that's it." She Zhi seemed to understand Ma Yuanyi's thoughts and nodded, "I understand what Senior Brother means... If it is a boy who is optimistic about by Senior Brother Tang Zhou, you can try to collect it."

Ma Yuanyi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be impatient, try it a few more before talking... gradually reveal our identity as Taipingdao to him, and see the attitude of those boys before talking."

"Um!" She Zhi nodded.

The next morning, Zhang Huang and others got up and met Ma Yuanyi in the lobby of the underground secret room. Except for Xu Fu who was worried all night whether Ma Yuanyi and others would be unfavorable to them and did not sleep well, the rest of them slept quite well.

"Oh, are you getting up?" Ma Yuanyi, who was sitting in the hall, raised his hand and greeted Zhang Huang and others at the table, preparing to have breakfast.

Breakfast is very simple, it is just pickled vegetables and rice porridge, but Zhang Huang and others were not dissatisfied at all. After all, it was thankful for them to be able to have a meal, and how could they ask for anything else?

"What are you planning next?" Ma Yuanyi asked casually during the meal.

Zhang Huang did not hide it, and said while drinking rice porridge, "We plan to visit a friend's tribe first and send him a letter to him. Then, let's go around."

"My friend's tribe?" Ma Yuanyi asked in confusion, "Are you in Luoyang?"

"Well, I'm an official in Luoyang."

"Oh?" Ma Yuanyi looked a little surprised and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Swallowed the food in his mouth. Zhang Huang said truthfully, "It is from the Xun clan of Yingchuan, Xun You, Xun Gongda... It is said that this person served as the Huangmen Minister in the court." (The Huangmen Minister is a subordinate of Shangshutai, responsible for delivering documents to the emperor or conveying edicts, and is held by scholars. Do not be confused with official positions such as Xiaohuangmen and Huangmen Order. The latter is served by eunuchs.)

"The Yellow Gate Minister?" Ma Yuanyi's eyes were a little surprised and said in surprise, "That's a close minister of the emperor!... Do you recognize this person?"

"That's not, it's just someone asking us to send a letter." Zhang Huang shrugged. The 'someone' he said refers to the next leader of the Xun family in Yingchuan. Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo.

"Oh, that's it..." Ma Yuanyi nodded, then frowned and said, "Since you are going to send a letter to the Huangmen Minister, you have to enter the 'inner city'..."

"Inner City?" Zhang Huang looked at Ma Yuanyi in confusion.

Ma Yuanyi stretched out three fingers and explained carefully, "The Luoyang royal capital can be roughly divided into three parts. One is the outer city. The east city gate, the west city gate, and the south city gate can be entered. Most of the ordinary people live here, and some rebels who come here to Luoyang to seek refuge. They also live here; the second is the inner city, along the three main roads connecting the city gates, the east road, the west road, and the south road, and you can see the inner city wall of the Luoyang royal capital, which is the inner city. Most of the families of famous families and wealthy families, or the residences of court ministers; the inner city is the imperial city, which is the place where the emperors of the Han court, relatives, and eunuchs live... ordinary people cannot enter the inner city."

Zhang Huang was stunned when he heard this. After all, they were entrusted by Xun Yu to send a letter to Xun You. But according to Ma Yuanyi, they could not even enter the inner city.

"Then...what should we do? We can't climb over the wall, right?" Li Tong said in surprise.

"Boy, I advise you not to do anything randomly." After glanced at Li Tong, Ma Yuanyi warned, "These guards the inner city gates are all Imperial Guards. Although the Jinwu Guard is also one of the Northern Army, the Imperial Guards are the real elite of the Northern Army. If you dare to climb over the wall, you will be shot to death by arrows in the blink of an eye... Don't forget that there are many balls on our heads for supervision!"

Thinking of the countless armillary spheres floating above Luoyang, Li Tong immediately showed a bitter look. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that the team of Jinwu Guards yesterday was recruited by those balls. Thinking about the two scholars at that time, they were just drunk and scolded the court, and were killed by the Jinwu Guards who arrived later. If they had the courage to overturn the inner city wall, wouldn’t they have to penetrate the hearts?

Looking at Li Tong with a pale face, Zhang Huang frowned and asked Ma Yuanyi, "How can I enter the inner city?"

Ma Yuanyi thought deeply and said, "In the outer city, there is a Sili School Office. As long as you are qualified, the officials in the government office will provide you with road guide..."

"What qualifications do you need?"

Ma Yuanyi smiled and said, "What else can you do? It's just money, reputation, and status."

"..." The black-feathered crows looked at each other for a long time and remained silent.

It is obvious that the money, reputation and status mentioned by Ma Yuanyi does not account for any of the black feather crows today.

Thinking of this, even Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and asked, "If you are not qualified, there is no way to do it?"

"Yes!" Ma Yuanyi smiled slightly.

"What's the solution?"

"Find someone who is qualified to take you in."

"..." Zhang Huang looked at Ma Yuanyi with a dumbfounded glance, thinking that this was the same as saying nothing. They were not familiar with the place here when they first arrived in Luoyang. Who would they ask for to take them to the inner city?

But when he thought about it, Zhang Huang's depressed mood suddenly changed. He stared at Ma Yuanyi and asked, "Could it be that Brother Yuanyi... can you take us into the inner city?"

Ma Yuanyi laughed and said, "If I can't take you into the inner city, what are I doing with you a lot of nonsense?"

[Being fooled...]

The black-feathered crows looked at Ma Yuanyi who was laughing helplessly, but after this, they couldn't help but feel glad that they met Ma Yuanyi who was qualified to enter the inner city when they first arrived in Luoyang, and Ma Yuanyi saved their lives.

"It just so happens that I'm going to do something in the inner city today. You will enter the city with me later. I'll take you in by the way." Haha laughed a few times, Ma Yuanyi patted Zhang Huang's shoulder, and then he immediately reminded him seriously, "But when you arrive in the inner city, you should pay more attention."

Maybe he realized something from Ma Yuanyi's tone. Zang Ba frowned and asked, "Is it that the inner city is even more chaotic than the outer city?"

"That's not." Seeing that Zang Ba seemed to have misunderstood, Ma Yuanyi shook his head and then explained, "The inner city is considered to be at the foot of the emperor. There are several imperial yamen including the Sili School, Jingzhao Yin, Guangluxun, Weiwei Mansion and other court yamen to jointly rectify public order. How could it be chaos? But..."

"Just?" The black-feathered crows looked at Ma Yuanyi in confusion.

Ma Yuanyi looked at Zhang Huang and others a few times, and suddenly said with a smile, "This is it, I asked She Zhi to go with you. He will remind you of the inner city... rules!" As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to She Zhi, who was sitting and having dinner together, and then said to She Zhi, "She Zhi, these little brothers have just arrived in Luoyang, you have to take good care of it, don't cause any trouble."

After talking to Ma Yuanyi yesterday, She Zhi wanted to try to capture Zhang Huang and others into Taiping Road. How could they let them go in the inner city? He heard Ma Yuanyi's words, and nodded and said, "Brother Yuanyi, don't worry, I'll look at them... But, is it okay for Brother Yuanyi to go alone?"

Ma Yuanyi waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "It's okay. It's just giving some money. Those big guys are not sure whether they meet me."

After breakfast, Ma Yuanyi led Zhang Huang and others, as well as She Zhi and the other disciples of Taiping Dao who seemed quite capable, drove a carriage full of wealth and property and swayed towards the inner city together.

It was a car of gold, silver and treasures. Zhang Huang and others saw the disciples of Taiping Dao bringing the whole box of gold, silver, pearls, agate and other rare treasures from the underground secret room. At that time, Li Tong really didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Brother Yuanyi, what are you doing with so much treasure?" On the way, Zhang Huang asked Ma Yuanyi in a low voice.

Maybe because Zhang Huang and Tang Zhou might have a friendship, and the little guys have good personalities, Ma Yuanyi didn't hide it and said truthfully, "I want to use them to make friends with a few big men... Without these, you can't even get in the other person's mansion."

"That's what?" Zhang Huang looked surprised.

"There is too much? I'm afraid it's not enough!" Ma Yuanyi sighed. It can be seen that he had many words hidden in his heart to say, but because of the armillary spheres floating in the air, he dared not say them.

The same is true for those pedestrians coming and going on the road. They could only smile on their faces and did not dare to reveal their true thoughts at all. How many of those pedestrians who seemed to be smiling were false smiles?

[Zhou Li's people are not as good as this!]

Zhang Huang's ears seemed to remember the old man's sigh yesterday.

Soon, Zhang Huang, Ma Yuanyi and others came to the gate of the inner city. As expected, as Ma Yuanyi said, the guards guarding the gate of the inner city were very strong and mighty, each with strong body and bright eyes. Compared with them, it seemed that even Sun Jian's Chili Army was nothing.

[Is this the Northern Army... the Imperial Guard?]

Feeling the powerful pressure from the Imperial Guards, the Black Feather Crows' hearts sank. They thought that after the Guangling Battle, their strength had made great progress, and seemed to be close to Sun Jian's leading heroes. However, after getting close to the Imperial Guards, they were shocked to find that their current strength was even worse than that of an ordinary soldier of the Northern Army. At least the pressure of the Northern Army soldiers could easily affect their minds, causing their bodies to tremble slightly.

"What are you doing?"

The person on duty at the gate of the inner city seemed to be an imperial guard. The powerful oppressive force that the black-feathered crows felt was obviously greater than that of the generals of the Guangling Army such as Yang Qi and Wei Fang. It even seemed that it was almost the same as Chang Hu, the leader of the Hu Chang Army who died tragically under thousands of kilograms of iron fist of giant warriors yesterday.

[Is this Luoyang? Is this the person I choose casually, and it is what my black-feathered crow needs to look up to... It is worthy of being the place where dragons and tigers gather!]

Zhang Huang couldn't help but smile bitterly. It has to be said that the experiences and experiences of the past two days have been a very heavy blow to him and the other black-feathered crows. The powerful warriors who emerged one after another like mushrooms after a rain made their enthusiasm undeniably frustrated.

"Report to Jun Ye, the villain is a businessman who comes to Luoyang to do business..." Ma Yuanyi respectfully handed over the road sign issued by the Sili Captain.

The captain glanced a few times, whispered to the carriage full of gold, silver and treasures, and asked, "What are those?"

"It's a gift to the people of the capital." Ma Yuanyi's unconcealed words made Zhang Huang stunned.
To be continued...
