Chapter 0249 In the bustling Luoyang, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, and Zang Ba were shocked!!!
As the carriage continued to move forward, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared below the horizon.
But Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, and Zang Ba could not calm down for a long time.
They were shocked by the concrete road.
It overturned their usual cognition.
At night, they rested in the post station next to the spacious avenue.
This post station is a house built with concrete.
Although it looks flat and not beautiful, it is extremely solid.
There are many houses in the post station, but there are also many people living in it.
As a last resort, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, and Zang Ba can only squeeze into one room.
The dozen or so guards who followed them could only squeeze into the big bunk bed.
“Tomorrow, we will almost reach Luoyang!”
Zang Ba said
“Yes, I don’t know what Luoyang is like!”
Chen Deng was full of expectations.
Mi Zhu was somewhat silent.
His family’s caravan traveled to various places, and although there were descriptions of Luoyang, seeing is believing.
He was also very curious about the completely changed Luoyang.
Early the next morning, they had the breakfast provided by the post station and prepared to set off again.
Zang Ba patted his stomach with satisfaction.
“I didn’t expect that I could eat such delicious food in this small post station!”
Today, the post station provides mutton offal soup and large pieces of Hu cake.
The mutton offal soup is extremely delicious.
Hu cake can be eaten dry or soaked in mutton offal soup.
Since the food is not expensive, Zang Ba had a full meal.
Usually,
Chen Deng and Mi Zhu would never eat mutton offal.
Especially Mi Zhu, the Mi family is a wealthy family.
They don’t eat the slightly tough meat on the lamb.
But now they are not so particular when they go out.
And what surprised them was that the mutton offal soup tasted very good and very delicious.
Chen Deng said curiously:”Are there spices from the Western Regions in this soup?”
Mi Zhu nodded:”Indeed, there should be spices from the Western Regions, otherwise it will be difficult to remove the mutton smell!”
Chen Deng was a little puzzled and looked back at the post station.
This is indeed an ordinary post station, located on the official road.
Both ordinary people and officials can be received
“Could it be that these spices are no longer valuable?”
Chen Deng looked at Mi Zhu and asked. Mi Zhu’s family is in business, they should know best.
Mi Zhu shook his head and said
“Spices are still very expensive, most of them are more expensive than gold!”
“The post station probably used some cheap spices!”
Mi Zhu was also very confused in his heart.
He couldn’t figure out which spices were so cheap that they could be used in the post station next to the avenue.
Several people couldn’t get the answer.
Zang Ba rode on his horse, Chen Deng and Mi Zhu got on the carriage, and began to move forward slowly. Their guards followed behind.
“The general is truly a god-like being. Other places in the world are still in ruins!”
“Sili Prefecture has already begun to rebuild, and it is still so magnificent!”
1ì Chen Deng looked at the scenery in the distance and couldn’t help but speak.
There are not only post stations on both sides of the official road, but also countless farmlands.
Now is the time of harvest.
There are countless farmers working in the farmlands.
From these farmers, there is no sense of oppression in the troubled times.
It’s like the Heluo Rebellion a few years ago was just a dream.
“No wonder the lord is a little disheartened!”
Mi Zhu said
“In this world, I am afraid that no one can compete with the general!”
Zang Ba was somewhat silent.
Although he was nominally a subordinate of Tao Qian, he was actually a semi-independent warlord under Tao Qian.
This time, because Tao Qian wanted to retreat, he decided to escort Chen Deng and Mi Zhu to Chang’an City together.
On the one hand, it was to protect the safety of Chen Deng and Mi Zhu.
On the other hand, he also wanted to see the people’s livelihood in the general’s territory.
Zang Ba was not a good boy.
Ten years ago, Zang Ba, who was only 18 years old, killed the county magistrate who threatened his father in order to rescue his father who was illegally imprisoned by the county magistrate.
Later, after fleeing to Donghai County, Zang Ba became a bandit.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zang Ba followed Tao Qian, defeated the bandits, and was appointed as the Cavalry Commander..
Later, Zang Ba withdrew his troops in Xuzhou.
He gathered troops with Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others.
Zang Ba was the commander-in-chief and stationed in Kaiyang area, forming a semi-independent warlord.
Sun Guan, Wu Dun and Yin Li were all bandit leaders in Qingxu.
The army led by Zang Ba was somewhat lawless.
If Tao Qian surrendered to General Gu Chang’an, they would face the threat of General Gu Chang’an.
Therefore, this time Zang Ba also brought the expectations of his army and wanted to see how the subsequent road should be taken.
Chen Deng and Mi Zhu had been chatting.
Zang Ba rode on a horse, followed the carriage, and occasionally interjected a few words.
Suddenly, Chen Deng frowned slightly:”Why does it feel like the carriage is slowing down?” Zang
Ba pointed to the front and said:”It is indeed slower. There are too many carriages ahead, and they are all moving slowly!”
Chen Deng and Mi Zhu stood up from their seats and looked into the distance from the carriage frame. In the distance, at the end of the official road, a cloud of dust was flying.
The dust blocked their vision, and some buildings could be vaguely seen.
On the official road, there was a lot of traffic, and although it was orderly, it was indeed moving slowly.
“I didn’t expect so many carriages and horses. Have they arrived at Luoyang City?”
Chen Deng asked doubtfully.
Zang Ba rode out on his horse and asked around.
When he came back, he said,”Luoyang is just ahead!”
“The dust all over the sky was caused by the construction of Luoyang!”
“There wouldn’t be so much dust on weekdays. I heard there were several strong winds today! 4.1”
Although it was blurry and unclear, there were a lot of cars and pedestrians.
It was already expected that Luoyang would be prosperous at this time.
Although the weather was not good, there were several strong winds, causing dust all over the sky.
But looking from a distance , it was still very shocking.
Although the car was moving slowly, it never stopped.
Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, and Zang Ba looked into the distance.
The undulating buildings appeared vaguely in their eyes.
The eyes of the three people widened.
Their eyes were full of shock and shock.
