Chapter 187 finally turned around
Since the imperial court has attached great importance to road construction in recent years, as the capital area, the official roads between various villages and Luoyang City are naturally the most convenient for the entire Han Dynasty.
Therefore, even the donkey cart, which was not very fast, was at the peak of the sun, Tietou and others came to the east gate of Luoyang.
Looking up at the towering and magnificent city gate, Tietou suddenly frowned and stopped.
A girl named Miao Juan walked down from the donkey cart and looked at Tietou.
"Brother Tietou, what's wrong with you?"
The woman sneered, "What else can it be? This country bumpkin must have been frightened by Luoyang City and had no knowledge..."
Miao Juan retorted, "I can't do it. Brother Tietou is a sergeant of the court and must have been stationed in Luoyang City before."
At this time, Tietou also said, "I think this place is very familiar...it seems to have lived in it."
Miao Juan grinned: "Mom, I'm right."
The woman glared at her angrily, then sneered: "You will climb up the pole. Who do you think you are and still live in Luoyang City? Then tell me, where is your home? Take us to visit?"
The husband on the side interrupted and said, "Okay, why should you target Tietou everywhere? Although the armor he wore at the beginning was already ragged, you can see that it was not an ordinary pawn. It is unknown if he really lives in the city. This time he entered the city, he might remind him of something. When he returned home, he could provide compensation."
The husband obviously knew his wife's nature very well, and just this sentence relieved his wife's mean attitude a little.
She glanced at Tietou: "Hmph, I hope you can really remember it, otherwise my family will not be able to keep it."
"Mom, why are you..." Miao Juan was a little unhappy, but before she finished speaking, her mother glared back with a look.
The group walked towards the city gate, paid three money to enter the city tax, and rushed to the market in the south city.
"Oh, Lao Miao, I haven't seen you some days."
As soon as I arrived at the market, a man in his forties took the initiative to greet him.
Miao Juan's father also greeted him with a smile: "Brother Liu, I have been missing for many days. How is the business?"
The man known as Brother Liu waved his hand: "Hey, the Cao thief who killed thousands of swords a few days ago fought for several days, which made the city panic. Because Hulao Pass and Hangu Pass were surrounded, there were many fewer business trips, and business naturally plummeted. But now it's finally raining."
"Hehe, yes, after these days, I'm going to prepare for the autumn harvest. I think this year will be a good year."
"The weather is good every year, and we ordinary people have a good life. Hey, I haven't seen this guy before. Have you ever hired a son-in-law?"
Brother Liu saw Tie Tou and saw that he was tall and talented. When he looked at Miao Juan, he looked at him with a clear look of spring, so he naturally began to guess like this.
As soon as these words were said, Miao Juan's mother's face suddenly turned dark, but Miao Juan lowered her head shyly.
"Haha, it's not the case now, maybe in the future." Miao's father seemed in a very good mood and even joked.
After chatting for a few words, the Miao family and their group moved forward all the way and soon arrived at an empty stall, placing everything neatly.
This stall was rented by him and another small vendor. On a single day, the man came to set up the stall, and on a double day, the Miao family came to set up the stall. It was just because of the war that I wasted a few days without coming.
Judging from the attitudes of other stall owners and guests coming and going to the Miao family, we can know that this family is very popular when setting up stalls in the city, and their products are very popular. All the goods are sold out within two hours.
While cleaning the stall, Miao's mother said to Tietou: "How is it? Do you remember where your home is? I'm still waiting for you to come home to get the money. You are a seven-foot man, so you can't be able to pay."
"Mom... don't urge me..."
"Shut up and eat something outside, why did I give birth to you as a money-loser?"
Miao's mother looked angry and made Miao Juan instinctively shut her mouth quickly. Even though she admired Tietou Brother, she only had only known each other for half a month. How could she be able to resist the awe of her strong mother that she had formed over the past ten years?
She could only stand next to Tietou, secretly grabbing the corner of his clothes, hoping to give her Tietou brother some support in spirit.
Tietou looked around and said, "It seems... I feel like I have a little impression... My family should be..."
He ran out of the market quickly. Miao's mother was shocked and immediately threw away the things she was packing in her hand and chased after her.
"Oh, the little guy wants to pay the debt, you guys are not chasing him..."
Although the other people didn't think Tietou was going to run, they chased after him out of concern.
Along the way, Tietou's expression became more and more serious, and soon, his eyes gradually turned red.
"Here...I know this, and there, I seem to be there, I have been shopping with someone..."
Every time he saw a familiar place, some fragments of memories would emerge in his mind, which made him feel headache, but he was extremely excited.
In Sanshui Village, Guan Ping went from house to house and visited the house mentioned by the waiter and the restaurant. Every time he came to the door of a house, he was full of expectations, but soon he was disappointed again.
Finally, they walked to the gate of the Miao family's courtyard.
"General, this is the last family. The waiter said that half a month ago, this family rescued a soldier from the river. The man's armor was ragged, covered in blood, and his bones were broken. He went to the city to hire a doctor. He recuperated for about ten days before he could barely get into the ground. However, the man's body was said to be good. After going into the ground, he moved as usual within three or five days and could still work."
Guan Ping nodded slightly: "I hope this time is true."
He walked up in person and slapped the yard gate solemnly.
"Dare you sure if anyone is at home?"
After knocking for a while, no one responded. Guan Ping couldn't help but feel anxious and the slapping speed increased.
"Is anyone at home? Is anyone?"
However, after he knocked for a long time, no one responded. Seeing this, the soldiers next to him advised: "General, it seems that this family is out. We might as well go to the inn to rest first. When the sunset is sunset, they should come back."
Guan Ping nodded, but seemed to remember something and shook his head again.
"Forget it, let's go. According to the store, this person was able to walk five or six days ago, and now his injuries have recovered 70% to 80%. If he was His Highness, how could he not return to the palace? Even if he was a little inconvenient, he should have shown his identity."
When the soldier heard this, he felt it was reasonable: "It seems that too. The general had deliberately visited the people who were seriously injured and bedridden and were even unconscious, and it was also because of this."
Guan Ping sighed: "God doesn't bless me, God doesn't bless me..."
He looked up at the sky and closed his eyes, looking sad.
After a while, he waved his hand: "Let's go, go to the next village."
The group of people stepped onto the war horses and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Just as they walked back to the entrance of the inn, a team of people dressed in business travelers drove a carriage and donkey cart and returned to the inn from outside.
Guan Ping only glanced at them and did not take it seriously. However, the conversation between the two of them quickly attracted his attention.
"Since Cao Zhe was defeated by His Majesty, our business has become more and more prosperous. It seems that it was really a clear choice to spend all the family property and come to Luoyang to do business."
"That's natural. But the piece of ragged armor I collected a few days ago was a big loss. But I just said that it was broken into this shape and it was simply scrapped copper and iron. How could it be taken off? But you insisted on accepting it, and you're smashing it into your hands now?"
A man seemed to have some complaining tone.
The other person didn't care: "Hey, you don't understand the iron smelting technique. I could see at a glance that the metal and iron used in this armor was not ordinary, but ordinary blacksmiths were unable to cast it. If they could find a suitable craftsman and make it a good job, hehe, not to mention only two thousand coins, even if it was 200,000 coins, they would not be able to buy such treasures."
"Twenty-hundred thousand? Hiss... don't lie to me."
"Hey, what did you say, brother? How could I scare you? I dare to be sure that the owner of this armor is definitely not an ordinary soldier in the army, and should not even be a young general. Not to mention that he has a great background, at least he has a good identity. If it weren't for a coincidence, how could you and I encounter such a good thing?"
When Guan Ping heard this, he immediately stopped the war horse: "Stop it, please wait, let me ask about something."
The two merchants turned their heads and looked at it. When they saw Guan Ping's aura and the mighty war horse under their crotch, they couldn't help but feel a trembling heart and hurriedly bowed.
"I wonder what I have to do with this brother?"
Guan Ping held his fists and replied: "I didn't dare to take it. I just heard you guys by chance below and mentioned a piece of armor. I am quite interested. If it is really a treasure, I can buy it with a lot of money. I wonder if I can let me see it?"
When the two heard this, they looked at each other, and then one of them said, "This is naturally. We are traveling merchants. How can we keep the guest officials away when they meet them? But the armor has not been repaired yet, so the guest officials still need to carefully appreciate it."
After saying that, he personally went to a carriage, opened a small wooden box, touched a cloth bag from it with both hands, and then carefully opened it.
I saw a piece of black all over, slightly shiny, but was already broken, and almost impossible to see its true appearance appeared in front of Guan Ping.
"General, this object is so damaged. I wonder which general in the army is missing? Just looking at the image of this armor, I think this general is seriously injured and has died, right?"
Guan Ping seemed to have not heard what he said. His eyes widened and he stared at the armor, his lips trembled, his eyes were filled with tears, and he slowly walked forward.
"It's him...it's him..."
