Chapter 131 Dragon Slaying Plan (I)

Sili's lieutenant department, Jingzhao area, Chang'an.

Jingzhao area has ten county towns, including Chang'an, Changling, Yangsou, Baling, Duling, Xinfeng, Lantian, Zhengxian, Shangluo and Shangxian.

Chang'an City was called "Fenghao" in the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Fenghao" is a collective name for Fengjing and Haojing built by King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou. The area where "Fenghao" is located is called "Zongzhou". It was called "Nianshi" in the Qin Dynasty. By the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang established the capital of Guanzhong and established the new city as "Chang'an", which means "long-term peace and stability". The area where Chang'an City is located is changed to "Jingzhao", which means "the land of the capital".

During the more than 200 years of history of the Western Han Dynasty, Chang'an has always been the political, economic and cultural center of the country. Since the reign of Emperor Wu, Zhang Qian went on a mission to the Western Regions and opened a business road, Chang'an City became a bridge connecting Europe and Asia, and the starting point of the "Silk Road" was prosperous. During the heyday, such as the second year of Emperor Ping of Han, there were nearly 90,000 households and 250,000 people in the city, becoming the first large-scale and large-scale city in Chinese history. During the late Western Han Dynasty, the city of Chang'an was destroyed by war. By the time Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu established the capital of Luoyang, and Chang'an was changed to Xijing.

At the end of the first year of Chuping of Emperor Xian of Han, Dong Zhuo held Emperor Xian and hundreds of officials in the court to relocate the Luoyang area and move the capital to Chang'an.

Chang'an City has twelve city gates and eight main streets, with the longest streets of more than 20,000 steps long. The buildings such as palaces, aristocratic houses, official offices and ancestral temples in the city account for about two-thirds of the city's area. The palaces are concentrated in the middle and south of the city, including Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Gui Palace, Beigong and Mingguang Palace. The residential areas are distributed in the north of the city and are divided into 160 "Luli". The market is located on the northwest corner of the city and is called "Nine Cities in Chang'an". In the west of the city, there are Shanglin Garden, which mainly includes Kunming Lake, Jianzhang Palace, etc. In the south of the city, there is a group of ritual buildings built during the Wang Mang period.

Since the capital has been moved, all officials, big and small, and wealthy businessmen in Luoyang have been forced to move their families to Chang'an. Chang'an was originally Xijing, and the emperor often came to worship the ancestral temples, which was quite prosperous. Now so many people have poured in. For a time, prices in Chang'an area soared and great prosperity has appeared on the streets.

It was almost early spring, and the poplar and elm trees outside the city had tender buds. The yellow-green grass quietly poked its head out of the ground. The breeze was no longer as cold as the previous few days, but with a faint warmth, as if telling people that the pace of spring was approaching.

At the gate of Zhuque Gate, a small Xiliang army officer led more than ten fierce soldiers to investigate the people entering and leaving the city gate. A farmer on the outskirts was carrying a bamboo cage filled with chirping chicks. He wanted to carry it into the city to hawk, but a Xiliang soldier was tumbling around the bamboo cage with a spear. He was impatient and waved his hand to let the farmer pass. The farmer might have been a little tired of walking and staggering his steps. He accidentally kicked the bamboo cage to the ground. More than a hundred chickens jumped out of the bamboo cage happily and ran around the ground. The farmer hurriedly put down his burden and caught it with his hands. Where could he catch it for a while? He was so anxious that he was sweating all over.

At this time, several men in black dressed short-striking came from outside the city. Seeing this, they stepped forward to help the farmer catch the chickens. These men were agile and obviously were a martial artist. They quickly caught the chickens and put them back into the bamboo cage.

The farmer is of medium figure, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his long-term farming in the fields has turned his skin into wheat. When he saw the men in black helping, he quickly claimed to thank him.

The little proofreader at the gate greeted one of the men in black and said, "Mr. Shi, I left the city again this morning. Did you fall in love with the watery young wife in Zhangjiazhuang?"

The man in black, who was called Master Shi, deliberately replied in a rough voice: "Grandma, that young wife ignored me. I guess she fell in love with you boy, haha." After that, he patted the little school hard on the shoulder, and patted the little school with a grin and shouted: "Master Shi~~Ah~~ Be gentle, can I stand your martial arts?"

The man in black laughed and said, "It's okay, come to my martial arts hall another day. Let's have some wine and I'll rub it for you."

Seeing several men in black leaving, the school shouted at the top of their voices: "Master Shi, I am really injured. If I don't have to work tomorrow, I will go to your place to drink."

The farmer had sorted out the bamboo cage, smiled at the school, and hurried into the city. The soldiers guarding the city did not notice that the direction he was heading was exactly the direction of the men in black.

In Chang'an City, Jingwumen Martial Arts Hall.

In the secret room, a light is like a bean.

The man in black, named "Shi Ye", was whispering intimately with the farmer.

"General Xingba, this trip has been a long way, thank you for your hard work. Have you been going well all the way?" said the man in black, and reached out and poured a glass of water from the kettle and handed it to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and frowned slightly, "Doctors of brothers are protecting you, and you have your contact points along the way, and it's been quite smooth all the way. It's a little more troublesome to enter the city today, and you have to pretend to be a farmer. Why is Chang'an City so tightly checked?"

The man in black was Shi A, the commander of Jingwuwei. Since Dong Zhuo moved the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an, he also moved the martial arts hall and continued to take Chang'an as the center to command the Jingwuwei throughout the country.

Shi A sighed, "Some time ago, something big happened here. Wu Fu, the captain of Yueqi, was highly valued by Dong Zhuo, but he could not bear to see Dong Zhuo being domineering and harming loyal and kind. Finally, he couldn't help but attack and decided to assassinate him with his own hands. One day, Wu Fu went to Jin to meet Dong Zhuo in court robes. He hidden a sharp short sword in the court robes. In the prime minister's mansion, Wu Fu finished speaking and said goodbye to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo stood up and sent him to the door of the study to show his closeness. He was kind.

He stroked Wu Fu's back with his hands. Wu Fu took the opportunity to pull out a sharp blade and stab Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, although Dong Zhuo was big, he was still quick to react. Wu Fu did not hit him. Dong Zhuo resisted hard, and then called on his left and right to capture Wu Fu, and cursed: "Rebel, you want to rebel." Wu Fu said loudly: "I wish I could tear you, a traitor, into the downtown streets, to apologize to the gods of heaven and earth!" He bit his tongue and committed suicide before he finished speaking."

Gan Ning heard this and said, "What a real man, Wu Fu! He is really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and has the courage to soar into the sky. However, he died like this, which is not worth it."

Shi A nodded and said, "Yes. Since the Wu Fu incident, Dong Zhuo has become more cautious. When he saw ministers passing through the pearl curtains to prevent someone from assassinating them. He also ordered his adopted son Lu Bu to command the Yulin Army and the Hu Ben Army in the capital. Lu Bu also served as the captain of the city gate to strengthen the alert and investigation of the city gate. This Lu Bu is also a pervert. In addition to appointing his confidants to guard the city gate, he also casually entered and exited the homes of ministers in the court under the name of investigating thieves, asking for bribes. Sometimes he was tempted to force the officials' concubines or maids, making the entire Chang'an city full of smoky and complaints."

Gan Ning was quite nervous when he heard this, so he stood up and asked, "Lu Bu is so arrogant, I wonder what the situation in Lord Situ Wang Yun's mansion is like?"

Shi A smiled meaningfully and replied: "Lord Wang Yun is a sleek person. He has already become a close friend with Lu Bu, so his mansion is naturally protected."

"Oh... that's good~~" Gan Ning sat down slowly. When he saw Shi Anna's smile-like expression, he quickly defended: "Uh... don't get me wrong. According to the instructions of my elder brother, I am responsible for important tasks this time, and the original plan to kill dragons will be changed."

"Change? How to change?" Shi A said in confusion. "Based on the information sent from Miss Diao Chan, Lord Wang Yun has begun to implement his series of plans."

Gan Ning said firmly: "Since my elder brother learned the news that you sent back, he thought about it repeatedly and felt that the people of the world were the priority. The people had already lived a hard life. If wars broke out frequently, it would be even more difficult for them to survive. Therefore, he decided to ask us to modify our original plan and change it to this..."

He pushed open the door of the secret room, climbed a staircase, and reached the ground. A breeze blew over the face with fresh air. Gan Ning couldn't help but take a deep breath and was refreshed.

Just now, according to Zhou Yu's idea, Gan Ning and Shi A revised the entire action plan, considered more detailed factors, as well as various response methods after the situation changed, and they basically agreed. Only then did the two realize that they had not eaten for a long time and were empty.

After coming up, Shi A immediately arranged wine and food. As a brother who became sworn brother with his lord, Gan Ning brought the highest instructions from the headquarters. Similar to the imperial envoy, it should not be neglected. Although the prices in Chang'an City are high, there are fine wines and specialty foods from all over the country, so it is very convenient to buy them. There will be a welcome banquet tonight no matter what.

The night sky was full of stars. Gan Ning saw the brightest star. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he and Deng Chan often sat on small boats and let the boat drift in Chaohu Lake. At that time, the thing they liked to do was count the stars in the sky.

One day, Deng Chan pointed at the brightest star and asked Gan Ning: "Xingba, do you know what the star is called?"

"What star? Which one?" Gan Ning asked knowingly, deliberately put his head close to Deng Chan's head.

"Hate..." Deng Chan slightly turned her head, gently tapped the white finger on Gan Ning's forehead, and said, "Look at the star obediently. Over the years, it has been light up, unknown and lonely, really pitiful."

Gan Ning followed Deng Chan's fingers and a girl's body fragrance penetrated into her nose, which smelled very nice, and she couldn't help but feel a little drunk...

In a daze, someone suddenly poked Gan Ning's waist. Gan Ning opened his eyes and heard Shi'na's calm voice in his ears: "General Xingba, the wine and food have been arranged, let's go and eat."
