Chapter 650 Luoyang Lu Clan

Li Chongyi blew out the oil lamp and was about to lie down, suddenly a giggling sound came from outside. He quickly took the knife and prepared to go out to see it. Before Li Chongyi was asleep, he stood up and held Li Chongyi's hand, signaling him to lie on the ground and not move. He reached out and touched the two axes, ready to wait for an opportunity to move.

The sound can be heard differently, such as the sound outside now, not like the sound of footsteps, nor like the sound of wild beasts drilling into the forest. To be precise, it is the sound of clothes rubbing when people move quickly. Li Chongyi has heard this sound. When Dugu Jiu wanted to teach him light skills, it was this sound, but Li Chongyi's weight is here, and he really didn't learn it, but he remembered this sound.

Li Chongyi knew his strengths and weaknesses. His strength was countless times that of Dugu Jiu, but when he fought against Dugu Jiu, he always had no choice but to win. The reason was that he could not catch Dugu Jiu, and he was not as flexible as Dugu Jiu. So he never felt that if he had strong strength, he would win with confidence. It was just that his combat style was more suitable on the battlefield.

One-on-one, it is very likely that a familiar assassin can kill him. When he fought Dugu Jiu, he had a deep understanding of this.

"Be careful," Li Chongyi whispered, Li Chongyi nodded and grabbed the knife even tighter.

Suddenly, the voice stopped. Then a person's voice came, shouting: "Is the Jinyiwei under the tree? Can someone come out to answer?"

When Li Chongyi heard this, he stood up and went out of the tent and said, "Who is here? Is it Li Chongyi, the commander of the Jinyiwei?"

When the people on the tree saw his physique, they had no doubts at all. They fell down from the tree, half kneeled on the ground, and said, "Subor Wei Fu, please see the commander!"

When Li Chongyi saw that this person was dressed in an Embroidered Uniform Guard, he frowned and said, "Are you also an Embroidered Uniform Guard? Where are you?"

"If you say goodbye, the villain is under the command of Dugu's Pacification envoy. He came here because he received the news and learned that the commander was returning to the court, so he came here to wait for him and report to the commander if he had any important matters."

"Dugu Jiu?" Li Chongyi's heartbeat was half a beat faster. When he heard that the person he was looking for was Dugu Jiu, not Li Mu, he felt a sudden sudden feeling in his heart. He was about to go to Chang'an, but suddenly sent someone to look for him. He felt even more unfavorable in his heart.

"Tell me quickly!"

"The commander is in my ear." Wei Fu leaned into Li Chongyi's ear and said in a low voice. Li Chongyi's eyes widened instantly and said, "Are you serious about this?"

"The villain dares not deceive the commander."

"Bold witch, I will tear you away!" Li Chongyi turned around and went into the tent, put on his clothes, took a pair of axes, and said to Li Chongyi. "You follow me with my armor. We don't go back to Chang'an, but go straight to Dingxiang."

Li Chongyi said in a daze, "Brother, what happened?"

"Someone kidnapped my elder brother, I'm going to kill them!" Li Chongyi gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed with blood red. Li Chongyi was so scared that he didn't dare to come out, and said, "Brother, you go first, I, I'll arrive later. Your armor is too heavy. I'll go to the front station to change horses and chase you."

"Walk!"

Li Chongyi got on the horse and also divided Wei Fu with one horse. Wei Fu bowed and said, "Sir, take the lead. There are still people under his subordinates who need to notify them. They are responsible and cannot go with them."

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work for my elder brother! When we meet in Chang'an tomorrow, I will explain to my elder brother to give you a good reward."

"The Dugu Punishment Envoy has been rewarded, so his subordinates will take the lead."

Wei Fu jumped up and was really good at lightness. He pointed his toes on the tree branch and disappeared from his sight in a few seconds. Looking at the direction of his departure, Li Chongyi said strangely: "Why do you seem to be going to Luoyang? Big brother also has friends in Luoyang?"

When he looked back, Li Chongyi was gone.

Li Chongyi sighed and asked the remaining Jinyiwei to take out the camp. The dozen of them came back mainly to carry grain and Li Chongyi's armor. Li Chongyi's armor was too heavy and was only pressed on one horse. It was fine for a short time, but after a long time, the horse could not move, so they had to separate the parts and carry one for each person so that they would not get tired of the horse.

...

Li Chongyi guessed well that Wei Fu's next stop was indeed Luoyang. He was ordered by Dugu Jiu to look for Li Chongyi along the way and informed Li Mu of the kidnapped. But he was also a Snake Spirit and a subordinate of Wang Ou, so he was always thinking about it and wanted to notify Wang Ou of the news. He went south, and it was not far from Luoyang, so Wei Fu was just in time to rush to the place.

At dawn, I happened to arrive in Luoyang City.

As a new capital built by the previous dynasty, the prosperity of Luoyang City was not inferior to Chang'an at all. In fact, when Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, he thought about establishing the capital of Luoyang, but because of Li Shimin's persistence, he finally established the capital of Chang'an.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he also considered moving to Luoyang. The reason why Luoyang City is so promising is that in addition to being a "new city" compared to Chang'an, its geographical location is also one of the important considerations. The grain production near Chang'an is very low, and the grain required by Chang'an needs to be transported from all over the country, and the road is inconvenient, so large transactions must be carried by water. In the Sanmenxia area, accidents often occur, but in Luoyang, there are not only grain production areas nearby, but the waterways are also more common and do not have to be controlled by others.

But Luoyang also has bad things. As for strategic location, it cannot do it and there is no danger to defend. Therefore, in history, dynasties that are good at fighting basically chose Chang'an as the capital.

Although it is not a capital, such a good city and transportation are so convenient, how can it be idle? The wealthy families and nobles in Luoyang City are no less than those in Chang'an. It can be said that the wealthy families and nobles who live in Chang'an all need to deal with the court, and those who do not need to deal with the court gather in Luoyang City, where they sing and dance, enjoying the charm that Chang'an does not have.

However, the nobles and wealthy families were also divided into ranks. Chang'an had no emperor, but royal relatives. Li Shimin's younger brothers were sent to Luoyang by him and sent heavy troops to guard them. In fact, these princes had no chance to rebel again. Li Shimin sent them away just to make a clean look.

The royal relatives are not the ones with the highest speaking power in this city. The aristocratic families have far more power in this city than the royal relatives. Especially the Lu family in Fanyang, who have been deeply rooted here for many years, and their power is spread all over the country and has become one with this city.

However, few people know that the helmsman of the Lu family who dominates this huge machine is actually a woman, a woman that almost no one has seen before.
