Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 32 Heading to Chang'an
  After leaving the ruins of Luoyang, Zhang Wu raised his hands to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, I want to ask for leave."

"What do you mean by asking for leave?"

"I won't go back to Yanzhou with you for the time being. I plan to go to Chang'an."

Cao Cao's trip back to Yanzhou was nothing more than to pay off the Yellow Turbans, develop his power, and recruit talents. It would not make much sense for Zhang Wu to follow him.

On the contrary, he still owes Cai Yan a promise that he has not yet fulfilled.

And after coming to this world for so long, Zhang Wu has yet to take a look at the real capital of the Han Dynasty.

Luoyang was now in ruins, but compared to Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he wanted to visit Chang'an more. That was the place where the Han Dynasty arose. Moreover, in Chang'an, there was a charming little girl waiting for him to conquer. .

"Zi Qian, most of the officers and soldiers of the Xiliang Army recognize you. Is it too dangerous to go to Chang'an now? If you really want to go, I will calm down Chang'an in the future and let you stay as long as you like."

"Don't worry, my lord, there are only a few people who recognize me. I'm just going to do some personal business and will return in a few days. Don't worry, with my martial arts, I can go anywhere in the world."

Except for Lu Bu, all the generals who had seen Zhang Wu died and surrendered. As for the ordinary soldier Zhang Wu, he is even less worried. Soldiers are usually in military camps. Can they still run to the street to identify him anytime and anywhere?
  "You're not familiar with Chang'an, so why don't I accompany you?"

"Hahahaha, come on, I can go to Chang'an anytime I want, but you are Dong Zhuo's biggest worry. If your whereabouts are exposed, you will become a drag on me."

Cao Cao blushed. His martial arts skills were acceptable, but if he had to compete with Zhang Wu, it would be a drag.

"Then let Dian Wei follow you. You should trust his martial arts."

Zhang Wu was moved in his heart. When had the fierce and decisive Boss Cao been so mother-in-law? The deep concern in his words was not the politeness between monarchs and ministers, but the care of the elders for the younger ones.

"Brother Zhuhu is my lord's bodyguard. How can you follow me? If my lord is really worried, just ask Brother Zilian to accompany me."

"Forget it," Cao Cao turned back to Cao Hong and said, "Zi Lian, then you can accompany Zi Qian for a trip. Chang'an is dangerous, so you have to keep an eye on him and don't let him mess around." After saying that, he handed it to Cao Hong. A bag of gold.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, productivity dropped rapidly in the late Han Dynasty and prices skyrocketed. The five baht coins issued by the court were basically scrap metal, and a bag of money might not buy much. Zhang Wu was going out now, and Cao Cao would not be stingy.

Cao Hong happily took the money bag and responded triumphantly. He thought very simply. Zhang Wu asked him to accompany him, wasn't it just to get close to him?
  But what Zhang Wu was thinking was: 'Cao Hong's martial arts are mediocre, his military skills are poor, and he's stingy. Staying with Cao Cao won't be of much help. He might as well accompany me to Chang'an to run errands. ’

If Cao Hong knew what Zhang Wu was thinking, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

"Master, count the time. If Hua Xiong has not sincerely surrendered in two hundred days, let him go."

"Okay, I see."

After bidding farewell to Cao Cao outside Luoyang City, Zhang Wu and his party headed towards Chang'an.

The distance between Chang'an and Luoyang is not that far, and it only takes two days to march in a hurry. However, Zhang Wu was not going to fight this time, so he was not in such a hurry. When he passed by a small town on the way, he even hired a man specially for Cai Yan. A carriage.

It was originally a two-day journey, but it took the group seven days to walk down it.

In front of the gate of Chang'an City, people entering the city lined up in a long queue to undergo inspection.

Cao Hong was worried.

Everyone else was fine, but Zhang Wu was too conspicuous. Not to mention his appearance, just the fierce spear and the divine horse. Only a blind man can't tell that there is anything wrong with him.

"Zi Qian, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city dressed like this."

From Zhang Wu's point of view, Cao Hong's worries were completely unfounded. He thrust his spear into Cao Hong's waist and immediately took the money bag.

Zhang Wu drove his horse across the long queue and threw a piece of gold on the ground: "How long are you going to be delayed? Doctor Guanglu and his family are about to enter the city. Please get out of the way quickly."

BMW, magic weapon, spend a lot of money, arrogant.

The gatekeeper only thought it was the demon king from Dr. Guanglu's family. He accepted the gold and stepped aside with a smile, not even checking the people's team.

Cao Hong looked in disbelief and then felt a little distressed. That was a whole ingot of gold. How many things could it buy? It was really a waste of money.

Cai Yan's cheerful laughter came from the carriage: "Giggle, idiot, my father is a servant, when did he become a Guanglu doctor?"

"I don't know who is the fool. If Dong Zhuo discovers my whereabouts and traces it, I say that the family members of the servants are coming to the city. Wouldn't your father be implicated for no reason?"

"But Dr. Guanglu is Uncle Yang Biao. You won't hurt him by talking nonsense like this, right?"

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, official positions changed frequently, and personnel changes occurred almost every day. Zhang Wu could not remember who was doing what.

Pointing to Yang Biao can only mean that he is unlucky. Besides, those old and immortal guys in high positions are not good at all. Dong Zhuo really wants to kill Zhang Wu to vent his anger. It has nothing to do with Zhang Wu. Anyway, he has a clear conscience.

Cai Mansion.

The yard is quite tidy, because they just moved here, and the surrounding servants are busy tidying up the house.

Cai Yong sat alone in front of the stone table, his eyes blurred, and the letter in his hand was wrinkled due to excessive force.

"Hedong Wei clan, Hedong Wei clan, you are going too far!"

The content of the letter explained to Cai Yong that Cai Zhaoji's carriage missed the wedding date, Wei Zhongdao died of illness, and the marriage between the two families was cancelled.

In fact, Hedong Wei originally had good intentions and wanted to be a favor to Cai Yong, a great scholar.

They originally planned to celebrate Wei Zhongdao. Since the newlyweds did not wait, if the engagement between the two families was cancelled, Cai Yong's daughter would not have to bear the reputation of a widow.

But the bad thing about this is the inconvenience of information exchange in ancient times.

The princes attacked Dong, and Luoyang fell into a war. The people of the Wei family thought that Cai Yong had not married his daughter on time.

Cai Yong clearly sent his daughter out of Luoyang. Now, instead of not mentioning her daughter at all, the Wei family members even falsely accused him of not being punctual.

Now that the city of Luoyang was in flames and there was a chaos of war outside, Wei's people not only failed to protect her, but now they were in an uncertain situation.

Cai Yong was angry and afraid. He was angry that the people of the Wei family were ruthless and unjust, and he was afraid that his daughter would not be able to find her way home due to the chaos outside.
