Time is passing quietly.

Before we knew it, the New Year has arrived.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Emperor Han Liu Xie issued an order to change the year name Yonghan to Chuping.

With a new year and a new atmosphere, everyone hopes that in this new year, the Han Dynasty will be able to stabilize and have good weather.

Chuping, Chuping!

After dinner, Ding Chen sat in the living room and chatted with his sister.

"I'm afraid I can't be calm."

Outside the living room, Cao Ang was dancing his sword.

After experiencing the incident last year, Cao Ang has become much more mature and more steady.

In the past, he was not good at swordsmanship, but after experiencing that incident, he took the initiative to find Ding Chen and wanted to practice martial arts.

Ding Chen naturally agreed to this.

He knew very well that the situation would become more and more chaotic.

And in troubled times, having a skill is the ultimate truth.

Although he would protect Ajie and Cao Ang, he also knew that he could protect for a while but not for a lifetime.

In the courtyard, the sword light flashed.

The sword slashed on the wooden stake, making a dull sound.

Ding Chen looked at the sky and stood up.

"Sister, I'm going to go to the palace to serve... Now that Jia Qu has been recalled, the house is a little empty. Lao Gao will come back later, so you should be more careful at home. I will call some guards in a while."

Mrs. Ding looked impatient and waved: "Don't be too long-winded.

Every time I go out on duty, it’s so noisy, which makes people feel annoyed. Sister, I’m not a child, and I’m not a child, and there’s no problem with Ang at home.”

"Then I'll leave!"

Ding Chen smiled and said, then walked out.

"Xiao Chen."

"Does my sister have any instructions?"

Ding Chen stopped and turned around and saw Mrs. Ding showing a tangled expression.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xiaochen, do you have any news about him?"

Ding Chen knew who the "he" in his sister's mouth was referring to. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but his face remained calm.

People often say that one night, a couple has a favor for a hundred nights.

He and his sister have been married for many years, how could he be completely ruthless?

"Don't worry, the Prime Minister no longer pursues him!"

"real?"

"I heard Jia Wenhe say yesterday that the Prime Minister has appointed him as General Fenwu, so how can he continue to pursue it?"

“That’s great.”

After hearing Ding Chen's words, my sister seemed to feel relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ding Chen shook his head gently. Even so, Dong Zhuo would not let them go in the short term.

"Then I'll leave!"

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the living room.

After giving a few instructions to Cao Ang, Ding Chen stepped out of Cao's mansion.

Although Dong Zhuo appointed him as the Nangong Guardian Order, in fact, he was still wary of him. However, Ding Chen did not care about this matter. To be honest, even if Dong Zhuo really asked them to leave now, he would send his sister and the others away, but he might not be willing to leave. After all, what Cao Cao did before made him very dissatisfied. The knot in his heart had not been untied, even if he left Luoyang, he didn't know how to face Cao Cao. Not to mention, he still had a lot of confusion.

Night covers Luoyang City.

In early spring, a spring rain suddenly came, but caused the temperature to drop sharply.

After Ding Chen arrived at Nangong, he handed over to Gao Shun.

Shortly after Ding Chen arrived, Zhang Xiu was transferred from Nangong. I heard that Zhang Ji had asked Dong Zhuo for the title of General Jianzhong for him, and followed Zhang Ji to guard Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass was the main throat connecting Guanzhong, and a general must be guarded. Compared with the Bingzhou army, the old Xiliang troops who came with Dong Zhuo seemed more credible.

There is someone in the court who can do things well!

Ding Chen did not envy Zhang Xiu's luck, and was even a little happy.

After all, as soon as Zhang Xiu left, all the Nangong guards were under his control. Previously, although Zhang Xiu cooperated with Ding Chen, due to his identity, the eight hundred Nangong guards still followed Zhang Xiu's horse. After he left, the guards lost their backbone. Ding Chen immediately ordered Gao Shun to lead his troops to train, and even took the opportunity to drive out some thorns...

Although the Nangong Guards are not considered surrender, no one dares to confront Ding Chen.

"Lao Gao, is there something strange in the day palace?"

"I saw nothing unusual, everything was normal."

"Then, go back early."

After a few greetings with Gao Shun, Gao Shun left.

Ding Chen sat down in the hall of the guard room and checked the list of duty tonight.

Most of the list was arranged early in the morning, so there was no need to spend too much effort...

"Why didn't Dong Cheng come?"

After flipping through the list, he couldn't help but frown.

"When Mr. Dong went back today, he had diarrhea and was already here to report in the afternoon."

"Who will command his division tonight?"

"It was temporarily collected by Dubo Hu Cheer."

Hu Cheer?

Ding Chen was not very impressed.

Dong Cheng was the military marquis who was beaten by him when Cao Xing brought him to work that day. Ding Chen thought about it, waved his hand, and asked the guard on duty to retreat. Since he was sick and had reported it, it was impossible.

But that Hu Cheer... Ding Chen really has no impression of this person.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The night is getting darker and the drizzle is drizzling.

On this early spring night, this drizzle makes people shivering.

Ding Chen could not have been staying in the guard's room all the time. After midnight, he took two entourages out of the guard's room, but found that the spring rain had stopped at some point. A gust of wind blew, and Ding Chen couldn't help but shivered and subconsciously wanted to go back.

“Tonight, it’s so cold!”

"Yes, it's already spring, why does it feel colder than winter?"

Calculate the time, Ding Chen has been commanding Nangong Guards for nearly a month, and he has gradually become familiar with the Xiliang soldiers around him.

Therefore, there will be some communication between each other.

He didn't say much, but these Xiliang soldiers would not ignore them.

"Is it colder than Liangzhou?"

"That's not... the general didn't know that after the winter in Liangzhou, water turned into ice, and no one was willing to go out at night. However, although the cold was fierce, it could still resist it. However, like today's cold, it was like a soft finger, drilling into the bones, making it even more uncomfortable."

After hearing this, Ding Chen couldn't help laughing.

He smiled and said, "The spring is cold and the young are frozen.

This is the case with the early spring in Luoyang, and the habits are fine. The chilly spring rain, in my opinion, is not as good as the bitter and cold in Liangzhou."

When the two entourages heard this, they immediately laughed.

They initially resisted the guard order in front of them.

However, after contacting each other over the years, I found that Ding Chen was easy to talk and was quite generous.

This also made them gradually accept Ding Chen, and even was willing to obey orders because of this, and was harshly trained by Gao Shun every day.

“Huh?”

At this moment, Ding Chen suddenly let out a soft cry and stopped.

"Why are there no people in the Age Palace Gate?"

There is Age ahead, but there is no way to see Nangong Guards on duty.

Ding Chen frowned, revealing a hint of unhappiness, and then strode towards the palace gate.

"Maybe it's sheltering from the rain?"

The entourage couldn't help but extricate himself, showing a look of worry.

"No, even if you shelter from the rain, someone should be on duty... But look at this palace city, there is not even a ghost."
