Chapter 8 Angle Arrival(1/2)
The Imperial City of Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into two palaces: north and south.
The two palaces are connected by a complex road covered by roofs, and are seven miles long from north to south.
The so-called Fudao refers to three parallel roads. The middle one is the imperial road for the emperor, and on both sides are the roads for ministers and servants to walk. The dusk is reopened twice, with a guard in ten steps, and two sides stand on the side. The north and south palaces and gates are opposite each other, making the entire palace city look like a "Lu" shape on the plane, which is also a very prominent architectural feature of this era.
Among them, the Nangong was used to congratulate and discuss politics, while the Beigong was the place where the emperor and his concubines lived.
However, because Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor and was young in the new year, and the Hongnong Palace had not yet been built, the deposed emperor and his concubines had to temporarily live in Age, and there were guards on weekdays to protect the safety of Hongnong King Liu Bian.
The Nangong Guardian Order has a rank of 600 stones.
His responsibilities are to guard Nangong, to be responsible for Nangong's security, and to command the eight hundred Nangong guards...

After dawn, Li Ru woke up.
I discussed affairs at the Taiwei Mansion last night and didn't leave until very late.
He opened his eyes and felt inexplicably tired. His wife Dong Bai was not here, so he probably went to accompany the Grandmaster again.
Li Ru stretched, washed up and dressed properly.
He is now temporarily in charge of the position of Tingwei, and he has a lot of business on weekdays. In addition, the affairs of Empress Dowager He have made him exhausted. But he also knows that now he is in Luoyang, which is not as talented as before in Liangzhou. There are many talents here and the situation is very complicated. If he cannot do his best, even if he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he may be replaced by others in the end.
My own affairs are clear.
Li Ru was extremely talented and might be considered a master in Liangzhou.
But in Luoyang...
That sense of crisis, accompanied by the passage of time, also forced Li Ru to cheer up all the time.
After breakfast, he was about to go to work.
But when he walked out of the door, he suddenly remembered what happened last night.
Last night, after the meeting was over, he walked out of the Taiwei Mansion. He never thought that he would be stopped by Lu Bu outside the mansion and thank him.
"Then Ding Ziyang's affairs are troublesome."
With Lu Bu's temperament, he was so concerned about Ding Ziyang, which also made Li Ru feel strongly curious.
Looking at the sky, he told the coachman: "Go to Luoyang Prison."
"Here!"
The coachman heard it and drove without asking.
Li Ru sat in the car and thought along the way: The reason why Lu Bu wanted to save Ding Chen was probably because he had spoken loudly that day and could not get out of the market. And that day, outside the Cao Mansion, he was probably unable to kill Ding Chen, so he had no choice but to do so.
Of course, this does not rule out that Lu Bu appreciates Ding Chen's martial arts...
But this also shows that Ding Chen is indeed capable.
The Taiwei has entered the center now, and relying solely on the reckless men in Liangzhou, I am afraid that the big things will not be accomplished.
If Ding Chen really has the ability, it is worth winning. However, he is Cao Cao's brother-in-law, will there be a mystery in it?
Li Ru was also a little confused about his mind for a moment!
"Master, Luoyang Prison has arrived."
"Report to me, I'm going to meet Ding Chen."
Li Ru got out of the car and ordered his entourage to report.
After a while, the prison officer on duty ran over and bowed to Li Ru and said, "I don't know that the court magistrate is here, the minor official should die."
Li Ru snorted expressionlessly.
He pondered for a moment and said, "A few days ago, a prisoner named Ding Chen was sent here. How is the situation now?"
"this……"
The prison officer was stunned and showed a strange expression.
Li Ru frowned and suddenly said, "Take me in, I want to see this person."
After hesitating for a moment, the prison officer smiled bitterly and said, "Since the court magistrate is going to check it out, the villain is not willing to refuse.
But the prison environment is harsh. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me if the court guards. Or, the villain will bring Ding Chen?"
These words actually mean that they don’t want Li Ru to go in.
But the more this happens, the more interested Li Ru is. He waved his hand and said, "Don't be too long-winded. I am not a person who can't endure hardship?"
The follower behind him stepped forward and pushed the prisoner away.
Li Ru strode into Luoyang Prison, and led by the prisoner, he walked down the steps to the dimly lit prison.
According to Li Ru's idea, the prison officials pushed for the three obstacles, probably because they did bad things.
But after entering the prison, Li Ru found that there were many people gathered in the prison.
It seems that most of the jailers on duty in Luoyang Prison were in this prison. They were guarding outside the door of a prison room, talking whisperingly, each of them was very excited and seemed very excited.
"How many rounds?"
"I bet ten rounds, and that kid is getting more and more powerful. According to me, I can end it in ten rounds."
"Not necessarily. The guy named Gao is also the goalkeeper of the eighth captain in Xiyuan. I think he is in good condition today."
"How long do you think it will take to end?"
"In fifteen rounds, I'll bet that someone with a surname high can survive fifteen rounds."
Li Ru was a little surprised. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a loud bang in the prison room, followed by a burst of cheers.
The prison officer squeezed over at this time, smiling and said, "Don't blame Tingwei. There are no prisoners in Luoyang prison now. Everyone is very idle, so I'll have some fun. But Tingwei, don't get me wrong, they want to fight themselves, it has nothing to do with us."
"Get out of the way, don't block the way."
The prison officer said, pushing away the prison officer in front of him.
He led Li Ru to the outside of the prison room and saw two ragged guys sitting on the ground, smiling at each other. Because the light was not very good, he couldn't see clearly what the two of them looked like. Li Ru could only vaguely see that one was younger and the other was older, both sitting on the ground, panting without saying a word.
"Gao Dashi, you can't do it today. You lost in just three rounds!"
"Bad, that's your sneak attack, otherwise grandpa would beat you up and your face was full of peach blossoms."
"Ha, talk big... We have been competing for three days. When will you beat me?"
The young man jokingly said, with a hint of ridicule in his words.
The honest and elderly man took the opportunity to pounce on him and threw the young man to the ground. The two of them fought on the ground, but they saw various tricks coming out one after another. You were one with a solid cross, and I was the other with a wrist grabbing, and they were flying in a variety of ways. It was wonderful.
The jailers outside the prison also shouted loudly, cheering for the people they supported.
Li Ru was stunned, and the followers beside him couldn't help but praise them repeatedly when they saw their horn-to-resistance skills.
Liangzhou is a bitter and cold place.
In addition, when Hu and Han live together, conflicts often occur, resulting in a strong custom.
Even scholars like Li Ru know some fighting skills. So, he couldn't help asking, "Are these two people doing this every day?"
"Not!"
The prison officer smiled bitterly and said, "These two snatchers have to fight two games every day, once early and once late... At the beginning, the villain thought they had a grudge, but who knew that I sent someone to persuade them to fight, but they were beaten out by the two of them.
Later, everyone got used to it!
The two of them like to fight, so they can fight with them as long as they don't die.
This prison is also boring. They play two games a day, and everyone has a pastime, so they gradually get used to it."
When Li Ru heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: I'm so full!
He asked his followers again, "How about these two people?"
The entourage was shocked by the fierce fight between the two people in the prison. When he heard Li Ru's inquiry, he nodded quickly and said, "Master, if these two people were put into the army, they would definitely be first-class warriors... The villain is afraid they are not opponents."
Li Ru was even more interested and asked the prisoner again, "Which is Ding Chen?"
"That, the guy who was pressed down... Oh, the guy who has turned over."
"Who is the other one?"
"That man, named Gao Shun, is said to be the goalkeeper of the military captain Jian Shuo.
When Jian Shuo was killed and his body was abandoned in the street market, this guy ran to collect Jian Shuo's body, and even offended the general and was imprisoned. He was originally going to kill him, but he expected... Anyway, no one remembered him until now, so he had been locked up here."
When Li Ru heard this, his triangular eyes closed slightly, and a flash of light flashed.
Jian Shuo’s subordinates?
He looked at the two people in the cell with interest, but had an abacus in his heart.
I thought it was just a Ding Chen, but I didn't expect...
Li Ru glanced at the corner of her mouth and showed a smile: This time, I'm afraid that Mr. Wen will miscalculate!
At this moment, a sudden roar came from the prison room. Gao Shun was originally suppressed to the ground, but suddenly stood up with his waist and hugged Ding Chen and rushed over. With a bang, Ding Chen's back hit the railing of the prison door. The wooden fence as thick as a bowl was cracked by him, and it seemed to be about to break, causing a burst of exclamation.
To be continued...
