    "It's almost there, we're almost there." Chen Xian's eyes flashed with a burning light. He was full of anticipation and couldn't help but speed up his pace.  Luoyang is full of human kindness and beauty, and it is the Lantern Festival. For such a young man, everyone will understand and make way for him.  Under the bright lanterns, Chen Xian¡¯s face showed a smile from the bottom of his heart, as if he was walking on a road paved with flowers.  At this time, two people suddenly stood in front of him. They seemed to be as boring as black and white. They did not step aside knowingly like other passers-by. Chen Xian's feet stopped and he turned to the right. However, the two strangers in front of him  He also moved his body, blocking his way again.  By blocking the road again and again, even a fool would understand that the person on the other side did this intentionally.  "Brothers, what are you going to do?" Chen Xian raised his head and glared at the two men.  "Don't be surprised, Chen Changshi. Because a big conspiracy is involved, the traitor inspector asked Mr. Chen to question him. Please come here."  It went by in a flash.  Cao Cao, who is responsible for detecting traitors, is responsible for inspecting all officials, especially the prime minister's office and civil servants from various places.  The Xia Kingdom's land redemption in Luoyang involved a huge amount of money, and it had to use a group of scholars and officials from Guandong. A few days ago, a collusion between inside and outside broke out, in which the value of the land was falsely defrauded by the imperial court's land redemption money, and the traitor Cao Cao was investigated.  The matter was being investigated, so he asked many civil servants in Luoyang Mansion. Chen Xian also vaguely knew about the matter, but he did not expect that the traitor would be found on himself.  He looked ugly and glanced ahead. The east gate of Luoyang was not far ahead.  The poem goes, "When he goes out of the east gate, there are women like clouds." I don't know when, there is a flower forest outside the east gate of Luoyang, just like under the Jinshui Bridge on Zhuque Street in Bianliang, it has become a place for young men and women to get together.  place.  "What's going on?" Chen Xianqiang suppressed his anger and asked, "Do I have to ask questions today?" "It's inconvenient to talk here," the people blocking the way laughed, "I can't delay Young Master Chen in asking questions about some trivial matters.  How much time?" He said it politely, but the other person stepped forward and stood next to Chen Xian, making a look like "You have to go even if you don't want to go."  Seeing that things were getting difficult, Chen Xian had no choice but to give up his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." Chen Xian was slandering in his heart, and the traitor couldn't be so arrogant and unkind.  I don't have anything to feel guilty about. When it comes to questioning, I have to read their book.  The two people who claimed to be investigating the traitors of Cao Cao officials seemed not to see the dissatisfaction on Chen Xian's face. One was in front and the other was behind, and they took him away from Dongmen Street.  The streets were still crowded with people, and the strange scene just now was like a tiny bubble in the waves, which was instantly ignored by the crowd celebrating the Lantern Festival.  The crowd surges forward along Dongmen Street. When it reaches the east gate of Luoyang, it seems like a big river merges into the ocean.  Dongmen Market is one of the four major cities in Luoyang, and on the night of Yuan Dynasty, it was more than a hundred times more prosperous than usual.  In the sea of ??lanterns, among the fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples, Zhu Lingwu, dressed in white, stands gracefully under a lantern tree, as eye-catching as a hibiscus emerging from the water.  By mid-month, the crowds are no longer as crowded as they were in the middle of the night.  Zhu Lingwu waited for a long time, but Chen Xian never appeared.  " Several prostitutes came up to chat with her, but they were all blocked by her entourage, and her face became colder and colder.  "That person won't be here for a long time," the maid Han Rui said angrily, "Little lady, let's go back." Zhu Lingwu and Chen Xian met again in Luoyang, and she had always watched it.  I thought that after Chen Xian returned from the Liao Kingdom, his temperament had become much calmer and his person had become a normal person, and the two of them could finally live happily ever after.  Han Rui also said a lot of good things to him, but she didn't expect that Chen Xian would not even say hello to this meeting, and it was also the most important Yuan Ye date for men and women in Luoyang.  Zhu Lingwu did not answer, but still stood waiting under the flower tree. The light shone on her, and her lonely shadow dragged long on the ground.  "This unlucky person" Han Rui didn't dare to say more, she could only stamp her feet and curse in her heart.  Outside the east gate, the figures left in pairs. The night air was getting colder, refreshing, and hurtful. Han Rui couldn't persuade her, so she took out a day's blue bird fur from the sedan and draped it on Zhu Lingwu's shoulders. Queen Yuan Ye  In the middle of the night, as the number of pedestrians dwindled, the merchants closed their stalls, and many of the lanterns in the bustling dreamlike place were scattered. Pedestrians were deserted, and there were only a few cars and horses. The drums were beating, and the sky was getting brighter, but Chen Xian never appeared.  "Little lady, let's go back." Han Rui's eyes were full of anger, "This ungrateful guy." "Next time he will use an eight-carat sedan to carry him, and next time, we won't see him either." Zhu Lingwu's  Her pretty face turned pale from the cold, and she stubbornly bit her purple lips to hold back the tears in her eyes.  After hearing this?, she nodded invisibly and let Han Rui help her get into the sedan. This time she got seriously ill and was not allowed to go out for more than ten days.  There was only one daughter in the Zhu family. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and she was looking for doctors everywhere.  However, Zhu Lingwu herself was a famous doctor. She couldn't cure her illness, let alone a doctor who could prescribe it.  The maid Han Rui knew the root cause of the disease, but she didn't dare to gossip in front of others. She not only served daily life, but also scolded Chen Xian bloodyly in secret. Until one day, two amiable officials came to the house.  A visit freed someone from the hell of words.  "Commander Shi Linxiu, Director of Military Intelligence, may I ask Mrs. Zhu, on the night of Shangyuan, have you ever met Mr. Shi Chenxian, the governor of Luoyang?" Lin Xiu smiled, but his eyes were sharp. He stared at him without any aversion.  , as if he was always peeking into her heart.  Zhu Lingwu lost a lot of weight after a serious illness, and his dark eyes were like a cold and quiet lake.  Even an experienced person like Lin Xiu who was used to seeing all kinds of people, secretly praised him in his heart.  However, finding Chen Xian's whereabouts is of great importance.  No matter who it is, or any clues, the Military Intelligence Department will not let them go.  Even though this girl has a long-standing reputation, she is not only close friends with many wives in Chang'an and Luoyang, but also visits the court and is deeply loved by Empress Kang, as well as the Military Intelligence Department.  This offensive attitude made Han Rui roll her eyes. Chen Xian was just a dishonest person, but he actually caused trouble.  "That person broke the promise, so I have never seen him before." Zhu Lingwu whispered, with a hint of astringency in his tone.  For Lin Xiu, this sentence is enough.  The dispute between Chen and Zhu has been recorded by the Military Intelligence Department for a long time.  Lin Xiu nodded, not drinking the tea, so he apologized and left.  Zhu Lingwu was seriously ill and mentally depressed, so she couldn't see her off at this time. However, when Lin Xiu stood up, she still asked one more question: "May I ask Lin Changshi, Chen Xian,  But what happened?" Lin Xiu turned around and saw a pair of cold eyes looking at him with expectation and concern. He hesitated for a moment, sighed and whispered: "I won't hide it from Miss Zhu.  After the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Changshi disappeared. We are also looking for where he went and what happened. " At this time, Lin Xiu keenly noticed that the emotion in the eyes opposite him turned out to be like a quiet pool.  There was a slight fluctuation.  Lin Xiu is a person who has experienced this complex mood of joy and worry, so he knows it clearly.  "It seems that she really doesn't know." Lin Xiu didn't say much at the moment, clasping his fists and saying: "We are also worried about Chen Changshi's safety. If Madam Zhu knows about him, or remembers something, would you mind sending someone to notify her?  Military Intelligence Department Yamen, this is my token." After saying that, he said goodbye and left.  "Is something wrong with him? Bodhisattva bless him I hope he is safe and sound." Zhu Lingwu just sat in the flower hall in a daze, feeling miserable and depressed. Unknowingly, he turned into a deep depression.  worry.  From the first meeting in Dunhuang to the reunion in Luoyang, Chen Xian, unknowingly, was deeply imprinted on her heart.  Melancholy was like maggots in the tarsal bones. Firecrackers were set off outside, but they didn't wake her up.  "The world's affairs this time, I just raised my eyebrows, but now I'm thinking about it." The sky is infinitely vast, the sea is like a huge crystal clear blue gem, and the Southwest Marine Corps fleet is sailing.  The mast swayed slightly, each hard sail was fully filled to chase the wind direction, the hull tilted slightly, and it kept chopping the waves.  Zhao Xingde stood on the ship's roof and unconsciously recited this somewhat inappropriate sentence.  At this time, it should be the middle of winter in the Central Plains, but the southwest sea does not feel cold at all.  Next to Zhao Xingde, each blessing boat is as tall as a tower. On the vast sea, hundreds of sea-going ships are sailing in the northwest direction in orderly columns, like a moving city.  Such a magnificent sight is rare in the world.  The Southwest Sea Division departs from Longzhu Island and sails along the northern coast, passing through dozens of large and small ports.  Everywhere they went, the local kings were frightened when they saw the mighty navy.  The vassals along the way, even if they had good relations with the big cannibal in the past, did not dare to rebel at all and just accepted the terms of the trade honestly.  On the other hand, Zhao Xingde was a sincere gentleman and strictly prohibited sailors and merchants from taking advantage of their power to plunder the vassal.  Due to the military order of the General's Office, the Southwest Sea Fleet does not want any rare treasures this time, but only grains, dried meat, pickles, etc.  These daily items can be obtained by local wealthy families and common people.  This kind of fleet searching for food is very rare. The treasures accumulated can also be sold to other merchants. The trade between the two parties is actually very happy.  The scale of China's fleet far exceeds the imagination of residents in ports along the way.  There are also many local wealthy people who are very fond of the Central Plains for its rich products and beautiful people, and evenThe ritual education is what the heart longs for.  Zhao Xingde followed the trend, and in the dual names of the Southwest Navy Department and the Nanhai City Shipping Department, he recruited many southwest maritime forces, dozens of tribes, several local kings, and dozens of garrison envoys. It was a smooth journey.  The momentum is like breaking bamboo.  According to the summary of the staff officers, not counting the maritime territory, the territory of the Tuguo vassal states that were entrusted on the shore far exceeded the total land north of the Yangtze River in the Song Dynasty.
