Luoyang is a city dominated by palace provinces. The South and North palaces account for nearly half of the area. There are the emperor, empress dowager, two princes and concubines. Most state institutions such as Shangshutai, Sanshiro, Huben army and Yulin army are located in the north of the city.

    Lu Li and his party entered the city from the southernmost Wangjing gate in the East. Naturally, they could not see the official Temple, but they were surrounded by high-ranking families. Inside, there were attics, pavilions and lush trees. Not only that, there were dozens of young warriors standing outside the house, all dressed in armor and waist swords.

    After staying in Luoyang for a whole year, pan Ming knew the distribution of the urban area like the back of his hand. He immediately introduced Lu Li and others: "this is the residence of Sangong, and Yuan Luo, Yuan Shao''s uncle Taifu, lives here."

    Sangong are the three most respected official positions in the world. It''s really not too much to occupy one square of the residence.

    Lu Li took back his sight at a glance. Yuan Kai was the head of civil servants. Could it be that they would see it at will? In addition, the current situation in Luoyang is chaotic. I''m afraid the Taifu doesn''t even have the time to rest - he''s busy meeting his friends.

    As for Yuan Shao, at the moment, he is being ordered by the general to stay in the custody department of Xiyuan. He can''t see it either.

    However, in Lu Li''s eyes, Cao mengde is far more worth seeing than others.

    "Let''s go as soon as possible."

    At this time, Zhang Liao looked at the setting sun hanging in the sky and said, "it will be late again."

    The moon is dark and the wind is high. At night, when people kill and set fire.

    Night is a time of frequent accidents. Therefore, since the Zhou Dynasty, there has been a curfew system, which is naturally observed in this dynasty. Especially now, the son of heaven is dying, and he is afraid to block the streets as soon as the twilight bell rings.

    Hearing the speech, pan Ming immediately replied, "in that case, take the imperial way."

    Whether it is Taiyuan, which is the seat of Bingzhou, or Yingyin, a famous city in the Central Plains, one road is one road. They are connected with each other. They can walk regardless of their status.

    With the exception of Luoyang, each road is divided into three parts. The middle one is the most wide and flat. Rammed earth walls with a height of one foot are built on both sides to separate it from the outside world. Except for the travel of the emperor, it is only used by imperial officials with a height of more than 600 stones.

    As for the small officials fighting for food and the people of Qianshou, they can only squeeze the roads on both sides of the imperial road.

    And several people in a line have official positions, so they are naturally qualified to take the royal road in the middle.

    "Thank Mr. Xun for his help to cover up his whereabouts."

    "General, you''re welcome, sir."

    Xun Yu first smiled and nodded at Lu Li, and then said in a positive color, "a leaf blocks out the eyes, and you can''t see Mount Tai. You can''t hear the thunder."

    Then, an invisible but personally felt Qi shrouded the crowd.

    "Let''s go. This method can last for half an hour. During this period, as long as we don''t fight, we will be as insignificant as dead branches and rotten leaves in the eyes of others."

    On one side, Lu Li''s face changed slightly, and he thought: it''s worthy of being Xun Yu. I don''t know how many times better than the secret envoy!

    If you can help a cavalry hide to this extent, the effect... I can''t imagine.

    When the idea suddenly turned, the horse hissed. Pan Ming took the lead and began to gallop towards tongtuo street. Everyone hurried to keep up.

    Horse market and millet market passed in a flash.

    From a distance, Lu Li saw the south palace. Although it was blocked by high walls, he could imagine the cloud like palace in the inner palace——

    If you do this for thousands of years, you will be an immortal.

    Somehow, this sentence suddenly came into his mind.

    Before entering the examination scene, Lu Li once saw a beautiful record: three years ago in Zhongping, that is, three years ago, the spirit emperor ordered people to build a naked swimming hall with thousands of houses, which were stepped by picking green moss, guiding the canal water to build around, and taking a boat to swim, so that the palace people can take it, choose the jade light body, and carry the pole to float in the canal.

    There, palace people over 14 and under 18 all wear beautiful makeup and take off their coats. There is no need to say anything about what will happen in the meantime.

    Because it was dark all day, the spirit emperor could not even tell whether it was day or night. Even if the "chicken singing hall" was specially set up and filled with roosters, however, at dawn, the roosters sang loudly, but the Han Ling emperor ignored it and continued to play and have fun with the palace maids.

    I don''t know whether it''s true or not... If you have a chance in the future, you can go and find out.

    [Canglong gate]

    When thoughts were flying, three red and gold characters were printed into Luli''s eyes.

    There are city gates in the city and palace gates in the palace, and garrisons are stationed. In addition, the leader guarding the palace gate is the military commander Ma, who has a high official position. He is the first-class military Marquis guarding the twelve city gates such as Wangjing gate.

    Obviously, outside the South and North palaces, the gentry group headed by general He Jin has an advantage, while the South and North palaces are the territory headed by Shi Chang Shi.

    On the left side, pan Ming lowered his voice and said to Lu Li, "these guards are under the jurisdiction of Jian Shuo. There are about 800 people, and there are seven gates in the two palaces. There are shuoping gate, east gate and rosefinch gate in the North Palace, and Pingcheng gate, Canglong gate, north gate and Xuanwu Gate in the south palace."

    "The total troops are between 6000 and 7000, and they are skilled in bowing and horses."

    At this time, the dark dragon Sima seemed to notice that someone was secretly watching, subconsciously glanced at the imperial way, and then took back his sight——

    business as usual.

    Xun Yu was watched by Lu Li and others again, and even Zhang Liao was amazed. Perhaps he could sneak into the inner court of the palace without being found by this method.

    Of course, no one dares to take the risk, and there is no need to go in now.

    After taking a little look at the garrison of the Canglong gate, they continued to go north along the imperial Road, and after passing the Nangong, there was a street.

    "This street is tongtuo street."

    With that, pan Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

    Tongtuo street is the most famous street in Luoyang, facing the Middle East Gate in the east of the city. It is named after tongtuo on the East and west sides of the separated street.

    Moreover, it is located in the center of the city. The north of the street is connected with two palace cities by double roads, and the south end is Fangli, which is very prosperous.

    There is a proverb: the Golden Horse gathers all the sages outside the gate, and the bronze camel gathers the youth on the street.

    In fact, the people who can buy property here are either rich families and nobles or rich businessmen, and Lord mengde lives here.

    The plain forest is indifferent and smoke is weaving.

    Unknowingly, Luoyang, the capital, was shrouded in darkness, and with a loud Twilight bell, all households lit up lights.

    "After passing these houses in front, it is Cao''s house."

    Soon, under the leadership of Pan Ming, the party got outside the house.

    The commander of the Dian army is a more than 2000 stone official, equivalent to a position at the level of sheriff. In addition, the Cao family has been an official in the dynasty for three generations and has been granted Marquis and ministers. Naturally, it will not lack the money to repair the house. Therefore, the Cao house covers a large area, accounting for almost half of the workshop.

    If other people come to visit, they must divide their clothes and deliver famous spikes.

    But pan Ming was Cao Cao''s confidant. Even Yuan Shao knew him, not to mention the door officials. He explained two words. He entered the house directly without passing it on.

    "Where is Monsignor?"

    "In the main hall."

    "Is there anyone else coming to visit?"

    "The master said he would not see any visitors today." at this point, the doorman added, "except a few."

    "Well, don''t lead the way. I''m familiar here." Pan Ming casually ordered, "go to the lobby and watch. Don''t let anyone in. If someone is sneaking around, let the guard take someone directly."

    "Promise!"

    The doorman bowed his hands respectfully.

    It is not difficult to see how well pan Ming is mixed in Cao''s house. It is estimated that he can represent Cao Cao himself to some extent.

    At this time, pan Ming restrained his expression, as if he didn''t know anyone. He said, "please follow me, everyone."

    In this regard, Lu Li has no idea. They always deliberately keep a distance along the way so as not to let others see the clue. Next, they have to meet boss Cao, who is nicknamed "capable Minister of governing the world and hero of troubled times". It can''t be too cautious.

    Walk along the corridor, cross the court, and finally come to the main hall.

    Two beautiful maids stood at the door. They should have received the notice in advance. They first saluted the people, and then said, "the LORD said to cook wine to entertain your guests from afar."

    Green plum wine on heroes?

    This is a famous scene!

    However, it is just the beginning of spring, and there is more than a month before the plum ripening season.

    Lu Li thought, what science should the Three Kingdoms of gaowu version talk about? Isn''t it easy for counselors, Taoists and alchemists to change the sky?

    HMM... it''s worthwhile to enjoy the treatment that uncle Liu can have in advance.

    This time, the beautiful maidservant led the way, took Lu Li and others left and right, and came to a secluded courtyard.

    Sure enough, plum trees were planted all over the place. The branches of plum trees were green. A man in his thirties knelt in the pavilion. His posture was very loose and casual, which seemed to be neglected.

    But Lu Li, who knew the identity of the other party in advance, felt that he was worthy of being boss Cao. He looked like a male tiger lying down and had the spirit of being a hero.

    At the same time, Cao Cao, who was cooking wine, got up and looked across the crowd: Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Lu Li and Xun Yu.

    A good face, easy to ascend the Tianzi hall.

    Lu Li and Zhao Yun don''t have to mention it. Zhang Liao''s face is like purple jade and his eyes are like Lang Xing. Although he didn''t wear the iconic golden helmet and purple robe in order to hide his identity, he was also a famous beautiful man in Yanmen and Mayi. In addition, he stood in the middle, so it''s difficult to keep a low profile.

    As for the famous Yingyin scholar Xun Yu who came with him, after taking off his disguise, he was also extraordinary.

    They looked at each other for a moment and began to salute. First pan Ming replied with his hand, and then Cao Cao went out of the pavilion to meet each other. They saluted back.

    "I''m looking forward to you, and I can see the true face of your heroes." Cao Cao held Zhang Liao''s hand and said kindly, "there are already bottles and Zu in the pavilion. I don''t know what your taste is? Let the cook prepare meals."

    With that, he looked at Lu Li and others with a smile.

    Xun Yu looked calm and unrestrained. Seeing that Cao Cao mistook himself for the people of Binzhou, he didn''t explain it. He smiled and said, "guests follow the Lord, and Meng De is the Lord."

    Inside the pavilion.

    Place green plum on a plate and a bottle of boiled wine.

    The people sat opposite, poured wine and talked freely.

    Pan Ming''s seat is at the end of everyone, listening silently.

    ["Yuan Shu in Huainan has enough soldiers and food to be a hero?"

    "Dead bones in the grave, I will catch them sooner or later!"

    "Yuanshao, Hebei Province, has four generations and three princes. There are many officials. Now the tiger occupies the land of Jizhou. There are many capable subordinates. Can he be a hero“

    "Yuan Shao is fierce, timid and resourceful; he cherishes his body when he does big things, and forgets his life when he sees small profits: he is not a hero."]

    The above are all romance. Cao Cao is still mixing with yuan. How can he say such words.

    During the dinner, what we talked about was nothing more than the situation in Luoyang, and pan Ming had secretly informed Lu Li, which was an old tune——

    The senior general ordered the school captains to sit in the west garden and not allow one soldier to enter and leave, while he himself stationed in the Baijun residence and waited for the situation to change.

    The so-called County residences are actually the offices of all counties in the capital. The appointment and removal of officials and the transmission of political and historical events are handled by this organization, and these County residences are gathered in the same square for the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

    In fact, on the way from wangjingmen to tongtuo street, we have passed Baijun residence. Unfortunately, the place is now heavily guarded.

    Xun Yu once said that there was a great Confucian sitting in the town, and advised Lu Li not to peep. In addition, there were many attics in Baijun mansions and staggered roads, which blocked his sight, so he couldn''t see the reality.

    Lu Li can only give up.

    But I have to say that he Jin did choose a good place. It was only three squares away from the south palace. It only took half a minute for the cavalry to charge——

    Once there is a slight change in the Shi Chang Shi, or there is a major change in the palace, he can lead troops to break into the palace at any time.

    Of course, this process must be full of blood. Pan Ming once said that there were six or seven thousand guards guarding the palace gate, and there were countless eunuchs in the palace, among which there were extraordinary brave people——

    Jian Shuo is strong and strong. Although he is disabled, he is a strong general who understands the soul of war. He has made many meritorious achievements in suppressing the yellow scarf rebellion.

    "The northern army entered the Baijun residence with the senior general, and some soldiers in the departments of the West Park were loyal to Jian Shuo and could only stand still."

    Zhang Liao sat opposite Cao Cao and asked, "why did you send secret envoys to Bingzhou to recruit us?"

    This is undoubtedly a well-known question.

    There are many scholar groups at the top of the mountain. Some people listen to the orders of Taifu, some listen to the orders of Yuan Shao, and some are disciples of Yuan Shu.

    In fact, the general is confident in eradicating the Shi Chang Shi, but he is worried that after killing the Shi Chang Shi, he has no absolute strength to suppress the orthodox scholar group.

    Because of this, he Jin thought of Ding Gong of the same origin and hinted that he could be granted the post of Jinwu, which is the Sheriff of Kyoto——

    It undertakes the tasks of patrolling, banning violence and supervising traitors in the capital. In addition, the Arsenal not far from the North Palace is also under the jurisdiction of Zhijin Wu. The arsenal is an organization for manufacturing and storing weapons, in which a large number of weapons, armor and even magic weapons are stored.

    An assassin who dominates one side, or a powerful minister who controls the center of the world?

    There is no need to think about the answer.

    But yuan Kai, the Taifu, can also give these things. Because of this, Zhang Liao''s mentality is very calm. After all, both sides can bet, but he is curious about what Meng De Gong thinks in front of him.

    When it''s time to turn against each other, which is more important, the general or the yuan family.

    Or maybe he''s just on his side.

    However, when everyone drank, the atmosphere of Xuanwu Gate was particularly solemn.

    He Jin, a senior general, is nearly 40 years old. He is of medium build and has a high chest and abdomen. Due to his long-term respect and treatment, he has obviously become fat in middle age, but surrounded by the generals, the whole person looks elated.

    At this moment, he strode down the imperial path with a jade belt in his hand. When he saw the Xuanwu Sima in front of Gong Li''s steps, his eyes were frozen and his hand pressed the long knife.
