Two hundred and seventieth chapter: Yiyi in the eyes
"Go!...Go..."
The last ray of sunset, with the urgent sound of traveling, stopped at the majestic Luoyang City, and the walls of Luoyang seemed to be inlaid with a layer of gold edges, which became even more magnificent.
"Close the city gate!" The sunset was a signal of closing the city gate. The city gate guard watched the sun set and loudly ordered the pawns.
Luoyang was called Zhenxun from the Xia Dynasty and Xihao from the Shang Dynasty. By the Zhou Dynasty, it was changed to Luoyi and the royal city. Each dynasty had emperors established their capital here. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang had developed for nearly a thousand years, and the scale of the city was naturally far higher than that of ordinary cities. The city walls of Luoyang were three meters high, and the city gate was two battles high, weighing more than a thousand pounds. Every time the city gate was opened and closed, dozens of soldiers had to work together to complete it.
As everyone exerted force, the wooden door slowly closed to the middle with a deep "squeak".
The group of people, more than ten cavalry, and the wind and dust were blowing away the dust, less than a hundred steps outside Luoyang City. Seeing that the Luoyang city gate was about to close, it would take some time to open the door. How could it not be annoyed? The leader shouted loudly: "Dian Wei, stop the city gate for me!"
This group of people was Guan Yan who was eager to return from thousands of miles away in You County. Guan Yan met Xi Zhi on the way and arranged to answer the scout. He already knew the news that Zhou Cang died in the battle. Although Guan Yan did not say a word, anyone could feel the depressing anger in Guan Yan's heart.
Dian Wei was ordered behind him and rushed forward a few steps, took off the iron halberd behind him, and his energy sinks into his dantian, and his majestic body leaned back like a bow. "Scared!" With a blow, the iron halberd in Dian Wei's hand had turned into a black shadow and flew straight towards the Luoyang city gate.
"Bang!" The iron halberd hit the city gate straight, and wood chips flew everywhere. The huge force knocked several soldiers behind the gate to the ground. The sudden change made the city gate guard stunned. After a moment, he looked at Guan Yan and his party and shouted angrily: "Enemy attack! Pass the city gate, wait for bows and arrows, and warn!"
Guards in Luoyang have already replaced Guan Yan's men. Although they are not elites, they are well-trained. With a command, more than a hundred archers were set up on the city wall in a short while and pointed directly at Guan Yan.
Seeing this, Dian Wei raised his breath and said a deep voice, and the thick voice exploded again: "Rareless! General Guan Yan of the Cavalry is here!"
Dian Wei shouted at this moment, and the group had already left the city gate less than fifty steps. With the sky, the city gate guard had already seen Guan Yan, who was in charge. The guard waved his hand and shouted: "Stop! Open the city gate quickly!"
Following the order of the guard general, he made a turn of 180 degrees. The soldiers were stunned for a moment and immediately followed the order.
Guan Yan and his party rushed into the city without any pause.
"Ha! General Cavalry is so powerful!" A small pawn stood by the city gate, looked at Guan Yan who was galloping away with his head, "But I see that the general's face is ashen, it seems very strict!"
"Bah! You recruits are so damn it!" A little older soldier turned his head and spitted at the recruits, saying contempt: "General has always been peaceful to others. I have been in the army for three years and have never seen the general show his cold eyes. Alas, they were all Yuan Wei and Wang Yun who killed that day, which is a pity for General Zhou!" When it comes to Zhou Cang, the veteran's stubborn affection also brought a hint of sadness.
"Close the city gate! Why are you two stunned?" A roar brought the veteran back from his thoughts.
The veteran quickly slapped the recruits in the back of the head: "Let's go, close the city gate!"
When more than a dozen soldiers were about to close the city gate, they found that Dian Wei's iron halberd was still nailed to the gate. The city gate could rest tomorrow, but this iron halberd was always not good to nail to the gate. In order to pull out the iron halberd, more than a dozen soldiers worked together to tinker for an incense stick, and then they could barely pull out the iron halberd.
The Luoyang city gate was in trouble for more than an hour before it could be safely closed.
In the mansion of General Cavalry, there were clusters of figures, all of which were Jinwu Guards transferred from the palace; now Ji Ling is no longer on duty in the palace, leaving only a thousand people and horses for the palace. The rest followed Ji Ling to Guan Yan's mansion and patrolled day and night. Now, not to mention being an individual, even a bird could not fly in easily.
"The lord is back!"
A stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves. The news that Guan Yan came back was like water pouring into boiling oil, and instantly exploded in the mansion.
The first person to meet was Ji Ling, who was in charge of the escort work in the mansion recently: "Meet the lord!"
He helped Ji Ling up and looked at the bloodshot in his eyes. Guan Yan patted Ji Ling on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work!" Guan Yan paused, showing pain on his face, and asked with a hesitation but firmness: "Where is Lao Zhou's body?"
"The coffin has been placed in the west room for a while, and make arrangements when the lord returns!"
"Okay." Guan Yan turned calmly and hurried to the west room. Ji Ling wanted to remind Guan Yan that his two wives would come soon, but when he saw Guan Yan's hurried away, Ji Ling couldn't help but hold back his words and rushed up.
Zhou Cang has no title, no position, and no descendants. What specifications are used to bury Zhou Cang, and only when Guan Yan can make a decision.
The huge western room has nothing but a coffin and three wisps of fragrance. This was originally used by Guan Yan to store weapons and armor, but now it is released to use it for the coffin used to store Zhou Cang.
Guan Yan originally thought that when he saw Zhou Cang's coffin, he would cry like rain and burst into tears, but when he was really standing in front of the coffin, Guan Yan was surprisingly calm. He gently pressed his right hand on the lid of the coffin, and the texture of the wood was still visible under the black paint; his fingers were gently stroked, and the rough paint surface was like Zhou Cang's hand, clapping Guan Yan with his high-high. Guan Yan put his right hand on the coffin and walked slowly around the coffin. The "rustling" friction sound kept calling out one scene after another in Guan Yan's mind.
Xi Zhicai, Ju Su, Ju Yi and others knew the news of Guan Yan's return, and rushed over, but they didn't dare to go in rashly when they saw Guan Yan's appearance. Cai Yan and Diao Chan were also standing behind the crowd with two maids, but due to the difference between men and women, they had to stand silently at the corner of the last, looking forward to it.
"You all go out first!" Guan Yan stopped and looked at the more and more people in the west room without expression.
Seeing Guan Yan like this, everyone wanted to persuade him, but there was no words to persuade him, so they had to stay in place and see each other.
"Everything goes out!" Guan Yan frowned and shouted angrily.
"Here!" Xi Zhicai took the lead in responding, and then everyone bowed and left.
The doors were closed, as if they were peerless.
Xi Zhicai and others were waiting anxiously outside the door. They all knew that Zhou Cang was the first to follow Guan Yan. In terms of feelings, no one here can compare to Zhou Cang, who usually scolded Guan Yan! Now, almost all the human forces led by Yuan Wei and Wang Yun have been expelled from the court, but the old ministers led by Huangfu Song seem to have become incompatible with Guan Yanjing after this matter. In such a critical situation, Guan Yan needs to come out to help the world. If Guan Yan gets sick due to sadness at this time, the situation may be bad!
