Chapter 75: People from Luoyang
In Zhuoxian in the afternoon, the dry and cold air showed no sign of melting the frozen slush on the ground.
A caravan in armor came from the direction of East Village. The carriages carrying goods were no different from normal caravans. However, the guards in armor and on horseback broke the tranquility of Lousang Village.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang~"
The sound of metal tapping continued in the village. The faces of the young men in the village changed. They put down what they were doing and ran around with knives. They gathered at the entrance of the village and formed an array to guard against the caravan approaching the village.
Wearing armor astride horses does not mean that there are no such caravans, but such caravans usually travel far away from the frontiers and fortresses. Even if they travel through states and counties, they are unlikely to go to rural villages.
The number of caravans and carriages was obviously too small, so the villagers were vigilant and guarded against strongmen robbing the village.
"This is the boundary of Lousang Village in Zhuo County. Anyone who comes is here!" Liu Sanlu, a roe deer in the village, rode on a pack horse and held a mace seized from the bandits. He immediately rode in front of the villagers and shouted at the convoy from a distance.
"Tap tap~" The sound of horse hooves resounded in the village. In a blink of an eye, Liu Cang, holding a halberd, jumped over the crowd and rode his horse to Liu Sanzhao's side.
"What's the matter?" Liu Cang asked Liu Sanze as he looked at the stopped motorcade in the distance.
Jin Ming in the village warned that all the young men in the village must prepare for war. Not to mention Liu Cang, Liu Bei and even Liu Deran needed to rush to the village entrance as soon as possible. Before Liu Cang finished speaking, two giant dogs dodged the crowd and ran to both sides of the hissing wind.
Guarding Liu Cang.
"A strange caravan, the other side has cavalry, you need to be more careful." Liu Sanzhi said, another war horse appeared in the village, but it was Liu Deran with a long sword on his waist.
Liu Cang looked at the horsemen with tube armor opposite him, not knowing whether they were soldiers or civilians. The gathering of troops in the village this time was not just a show for the caravans coming and going. Liu Cang stopped talking and prepared to let the young men in the village look for horses. He shouted from the opposite side
came.
"Zhongshan Zhen's caravan borrowed the road to send goods to your village!"
A middle-aged man in Han attire shouted, and everyone in Lou Sang felt relieved. But before the middle-aged man could finish his words, another horse came out of the caravan.
Wearing a tall felt hat, a pullover collar and a wide-sleeved shirt, with a hanging tag on the waist, and a bright white floating dust in his hand, he seemed to announce to everyone the identity of the visitor, whether he was a eunuch or a eunuch.
"No one can pretend to be this, right?" Seeing the person coming, Liu Cang frowned and asked Liu Sanyi.
"I don't know about this either." Liu Sanzhi scratched his head honestly. He had often heard about this thing, but this was the second time he had seen it in person. The last time he saw it was when he watched it from afar in the county more than ten years ago.
"Make way for him first?" Seeing the man dressed as a eunuch approaching non-stop from a distance, Liu Sanzhi looked at Xiang Yong behind him and asked Liu Cang.
"Give it, his outfit is not cheap, he came here alone, it must not be fake." Observing that the man was riding a war horse, Liu Cang nodded. Liu Sanzhi greeted Liu Deran and asked the village heroes to give way to the village entrance.
the way.
"It's over, please give way quickly!" As the war horse approached, the eunuch controlled the horse with one hand, shook off the dust in his hand, and faced Liu Cang holding a halberd, his voice full of impatience.
"Woah!" The hero roared, and the big dog barked. The speed of the opposite horse slowed down slightly, but in an instant it was speeding up and charging, but the eunuch pulled the reins to stop it.
"Hey, what a handsome big dog. Is there any price for this dog?" The eunuch was not afraid and looked at the handsome guy with a look of fondness on his face.
Seeing how fearless the eunuch was, Liu Cang threw a finger at him to check his attributes. He was a stupid and bold person. An ordinary person with a physique of less than forty years old was not enough for a good couple to bite him.
The hero Ya Ya leaned over and assumed an attacking posture, but the eyes of the two dogs were staring at the eunuch sitting down on his horse. Liu Cang let out a light chuckle, and the two dogs returned to their normal shape. They did not move far away, and walked ten meters away from Liu Cang.
within.
"Oh? Are you Liu Cang, Liu Haoxuan?" Seeing that the two dogs were obedient, the eunuch's eyes flashed with greed, and then he turned to Liu Cang, looked up and down, and said in a guessing tone.
"Exactly." Liu Cang frowned.
"I came here on the order of Duke Zhang to lead the way home. My lady is still fine." Liu Cang was doubtful that the eunuch knew his name, but what he said next made Liu Cang even more confused.
Liu Cang found that the eunuch looked at him with a very strange look, which seemed to be arrogant but also contemptuous. He weighed the iron halberd in his hand. Isn't this a lunatic?
"What does your lady have to do with you? You can't speak clearly. Just tell me who you are looking for?" Liu Cang frowned.
Liu Cang had a cold face, but the expression of the eunuch opposite him changed, and he spoke with humility and flattery. The contrast was so great that Liu Cang was even shocked.
"Oh, look at my stupid mouth. I chased the caravan all the way. I ran in a hurry, but I didn't tell the young master clearly. Congratulations to the young master. Mr. Zhang and the uncle have recognized each other. No, I am here to welcome the young master and Xiu.
Madam Niang has come to Luo to reunite her family. There is also an edict from Your Majesty and Duke Cai."
His behavior was completely different from before, and he seemed to be in a state of confusion. After being stunned, Liu Cang looked at his earlier publicity as a test.
Well, no matter how famous this eunuch is, Liu Cang has no time to think about him for the time being.
Zhang Xiu Niang? Ru Luo? Uncle? Zhang Gong? Liu Cang is a little confused. He is not talking about Zhang Rang, right? Is Zhang Xiu Niang’s father found?
Well, this eunuch’s name is Uncle Zhang Feng, and it’s pronounced twice, not fourth. I guess Zhang Feng wouldn’t risk his life with him.
"Zhang Rang?" Liu Cang asked tentatively.
"Haha, Young Master, you should call Mr. Zhang uncle." The eunuch was stunned for a moment, as if he was very uncomfortable with the name Zhang Rang. Then he shook off the dust, covered his mouth and smiled, with fear in his eyes.
Liu Cang shuddered subconsciously when he was called uncle. What kind of rhythm is this? Things seem to be getting a bit serious?
After leading the eunuch into the village, the eunuch changed all his normal humility and followed the convoy. From the eunuch's mouth, Liu Cang learned that the convoy was helping Zhang Feng transport goods.
Combined with some of the eunuch's words before, and thinking about Zhang Feng's words about hiding his family when he left home, Liu Cang understood in a blink of an eye that the old guy was really from the same family as Zhang Rang, and he thought he could hide it from Zhang Rang and send him home.
Something, but in a blink of an eye, it attracted people to my home.
Back home, the villagers watched and were dismissed by Liu Cang. When the eunuch saw Zhang Xiu Niang, he started to cry emotionally. Liu Cang's brows jumped when he called out to the eldest lady. Cai Yong's face was dark, and Zhang Xiu Niang's face was even more confused. I don't know.
At a loss.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The caravan unloading the goods ignored the outside world, placing small wooden boxes one by one in the courtyard, while the eunuch told Zhang Xiuniang about the old man Zhang Feng.
After years of experience, Liu Cang looked through the objects in the wooden box.
Good guy, Zhang Feng is really careful. The silk, brocade and silk are not of high quality, probably because he is afraid of being too conspicuous.
And those ten valuable jade beads are small and light, making them easy to hide.
Four sets of gold wire inner armor, which can protect against sharp blades and protect against cold and heat. It is a high-end item worn under the armor, something that most military lieutenants and generals cannot see.
Zhang Feng got four sets, so he was obviously suspected of trying to please Cai Yong and Cai Yan.
Liu Cang suddenly felt that he had really been wronged for thinking that Zhang Feng was careless in absconding with money.
The wedding dress and underskirt are full of the care of the old father.
Alas~~
The only pity is probably that I was so smart that my home was 'stolen' and I sold the whole family with one vote.
"One, two! Get up!" shouted in a low voice.
The things Zhang Feng sent back were all relatively small, including the last, larger box, which was only fifty or sixty centimeters tall and could be covered by a round shield.
However, four strong men in the caravan used lifting poles to lift the box. When it fell to the ground and put it down, the weight of the stones on the ground was quite obvious.
Liu Cang was curious and stepped forward to open the heavy box lid.
"Huh?" he asked softly in confusion.
There was an irregular-shaped piece of variegated metal in the box, which was about the size of a football. Liu Cang tugged on it but did not move it. Holding the edge of the box that looked like gold and wood, he used all his strength to only lift the box slightly.
.
"Bang!" Tu Li let go and the box fell to the ground again. Liu Cang frowned solemnly. If the box hadn't been heavy, then this small piece of metal might have weighed two to three hundred kilograms.
"Oh, I have heard that my uncle praised my uncle's natural power. This piece of purple gold is a first-class product. I really love my uncle very much. This must be for my uncle to build weapons."
The movement on Liu Cang's side attracted the eunuch's attention. The eunuch also finished chatting with Zhang Xiu Niang. Liu Cang had no idea about the purple gold that the eunuch said.
