Tao Shang greeted Xu Chu and asked him to order the elite soldiers of the Xuzhou Tiger Guards, and followed him, Cao Cao and Wang Yun to head towards Luoyang City in the darkness.

Along the way, Tao Shang repeatedly asked Cao Cao about his personal matters, and he had to go to Luoyang, but Cao Cao always smiled and refused to answer.

It was not until the pottery was too late to be unable to do anything, Cao Cao said to the pottery in a mysterious way: "Cao just wants to find someone who has long been famous!"

The Tao Shang gave Cao Cao a big roll of his eyes to Cao Cao's mysterious behavior.

The place where Tao, Cao and others camped was in the western suburbs of Luoyang, not far from the main city of Luoyang. The group was not slow and arrived at the west gate of Luoyang in a short while.

By the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang had a civilization of more than 3,000 years on the land of China. The myths of Emperor Ku, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia Yu and other cities of the history of the city construction for more than 2,200 years were all passed down here. Xia Taikang moved the capital of Zhenxie, Shang Tang's capital Xibo, all of which were now the surrounding areas of Luoyang; then the 800 princes met Mengjin, Zhou Gong assisted the government and moved Jiuding to Luoyi, King Ping moved eastward, and Guangwu's Zhongxing was all not far away.

There is no doubt that this was once the center of politics, economy and culture of the Central Plains, and a well-connected transportation hub.

But it was just the past.

After Dong Zhuo's tyranny, burning and looting, Luoyang is now empty and deserted.

After entering the city, although it was midnight, looking at the pavilions, towers, bluestone streets, houses and residences, they had long lost their former charm. They became dilapidated due to deliberate destruction, and ruins were everywhere. From time to time, you could see stinking corpses on the streets. Some residents who escaped the disaster of migration were hiding in the streets and corners everywhere in the city, with disheveled faces, cursing and crying, and there was a miserable scene everywhere.

Based on these alone, you can imagine what a desolate and terrifying hell scene this day when Burning the City was.

Wang Yun caught up in the car, and all he saw was like this along the way. He couldn't help but burst into tears and felt a lot of emotion.

Old Man Wang cried for so many times in a few days, and there was no way. The political stage he had been working hard for half his life became like this in an instant. The best years of his life, his career and dreams were realized here! While Dong Zhuo destroyed Luoyang, he also destroyed Wang Yun's half of his life. Just crying means that the old man is very strong, and if he were someone else... he might cry to death.

The world's number one city became such a declining appearance in just a few days, and it became a second-rate since then.

"I'm a sin!" Cao Cao rode on the horse, waved his whip angrily, and gritted his teeth, "Our ancestors exhausted all their strength for thousands of years to make this place prosperous. The old thief was so easy to burn it. How cruel is it!"

The Tao Shang was silent for a while before saying, "Break and then build... Although it's a pity, things have happened and are powerless to turn around. If the world is peaceful in the future, this city will be renovated and rebuilt, and you will see the prosperity again."

At this moment, Diao Chan showed her head out of the curtain of the frame, nodded slightly to the pottery merchant, indicating whether the pottery merchant could lean over.

The pottery was quite confused and posted it over.

But Diao Chan looked around and said to the Tao merchant whispered: "Young Master, can you send some trustworthy guards to send the little girl to Situ Mansion?"

The Tao Shang said curiously: "Miss, isn't she here with us to meet Yuan Shao? What should I do when I go to Situ's Mansion?"

Diao Chan smiled shyly and said softly: "The little woman is just a woman who went to see Mr. Yuan... but the last time she promised the young master to be unfulfilled... I always feel a little sorry for the young master. Taking the opportunity to enter the city, the little woman wants to go to Situ's Mansion to see... What if the soft and soft ones are not burned..."

Tao Shang was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a little moved, and said, "Why do you have to be polite girl? Tao was just a joke that day. Can I really ask you if you want money?"

Diao Chan looked at Tao Shang with beautiful eyes and said in confusion: "Young Master really doesn't want it?"

"Uh..." Tao Shang hesitated after hearing this: "It's really nothing important for a girl... I can just go back to Situ's Mansion to take a look."

After hearing this, Diao Chan smiled charmingly and gave Tao Shang a gentle glance.

This man was not as good as he could... he obviously wanted to be serious.

Tao Shang turned around and said to Xu Chu: "Let the four Pei brothers select half of the elite Tiger Guards to protect Miss Diao Chan to go back to Situ's Mansion to take a look. Then wait there, we will finish our business and we will go and have a good time with them."

After hearing this, Xu Chu made a promise and made an arrangement immediately.

…………………………

…………………………

Diao Chan can also ride a horse, which is much more convenient. She explained the details to Wang Yun, and then separated from Tao Shang and Cao Cao. Then, under the protection of the four Pei brothers and the escorts of the Tiger Guard, she went to the former site of Situ Mansion.

Cao Cao looked at the figures of these people leaving, and suddenly turned his head and whispered to the Taoist merchant: "A beautiful lady, a gentleman is a good friend... a beautiful lady, a beautiful lady, a beautiful lady, a beautiful lady, a beautiful lady, a bell, a drum and music!"

Tao Shang turned to look at Cao Cao in surprise and said strangely: "Are you sick?"

Cao Cao's expression turned upright and said dissatisfiedly: "You are sick!"

"Why are you a fool if you are not sick?"

Cao Cao smiled, showed a complacent look like a good player, and taught him: "Is the fool... Could it be that you can't see that this girl is interested in you!"

Tao Shang heard this and said, "How did you see it?"

"Hehe!" Cao Cao pretended to be mysterious and said, "It's not Cao's boast! If we talk about the way of flowers, Cao is really a good genitalist. Boy, you've made a fortune! This woman is a stunning beauty in the world, but she is also Situ's adopted daughter... I heard that Wang Yun has three sons, but they have already set up their own families. Old Man Wang has no daughter in his life, so he specially accepted this woman as his adopted daughter... Not to mention anything else, if you can accept him, wouldn't it be like getting a relative with the Wang family?"

Tao Shang looked at Cao Cao with no clue and said curiously: "He is just a bare Situ who has no power, no soldiers and no money. Why do I want to meet with him for relatives... Is it rare?"

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened: "Brother, are you really stupid or pretending to be crazy! Wang Situ was born in the Wang family in Bingzhou."

Seeing that the pottery merchant still didn't understand, Cao Cao immediately explained to the pottery merchant. After listening for a while, the pottery merchant combined some of his understanding of later generations, he suddenly realized and recalled it.

The Wang family in Bingzhou, traced its origin, is a descendant of Huangdi, the legendary Gongsun Xuanyuan. After going to Ji Jin, he saw that the Zhou family was in decline. Ji Jin Zi Zongjing asked his elders to retire and live in Taiyuan. At that time, people still called him the Wang family because of his identity as the king. So they took Wang as their surname and became the ancestor of the Wang family. After more than 700 years, they have become a family that has gradually grown in size in the world.

But the Bingzhou royal family, which was now at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was also one of the few aristocratic families and was not at its peak, so the pottery merchant did not recall it for a while. However, after a little time of thinking and association, the pottery merchant suddenly realized that the so-called Bingzhou Wang family was not the present in history, but should have been from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty.

The so-called Bingzhou Wang family actually has another name, called Taiyuan Wang family. The Taiyuan Wang family was listed as one of the "five surnames and seven clans" in the past four hundred years. In Chinese history, they were all leaders of the gentry from the Jin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Although the Wang family has not had the greatest influence in the next few hundred years, it is now a family with a foundation of more than 700 years... No wonder Cao Cao treated Wang Yun differently.

While the two were talking, they saw soldiers sailing to a withered house next to Qingshi Street. Several soldiers under whom they were were moving out two large boxes and some ancient artifacts from it. They were obviously something that was left behind by Dong Zhuo after being swept away.

Seeing this, Cao Cao was furious.

"Duh! Who are you, and others? How dare you do this theft?!"

The soldiers couldn't help but jumped when they heard this, but they soon came to their senses!

One of the chiefs raised his head and said dissatisfiedly: "We are the cavalry camp army under the tent of the Later General Yuan Gong, and are ordered by the Later General to search the city! What do you want to say?"

"So brave!" Cao Cao stretched out his hand in anger and was about to pull out the sword at his waist, but saw Tao Shang reaching out and holding down his hand that had already touched the hilt of the sword, and said, "Brother Meng De, forget it, there are more than just them in this city doing such a thing? The soldiers of all the princes are probably searching. If you kill these few, can you still kill all the soldiers and generals under the princes..."

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, slowly let go, and shouted to the soldiers: "Get out!"

Although the soldiers were angry, they also saw that Cao Cao was not easy to mess with. In addition, the troops behind Cao Cao and Tao Shang were tidying up, and they knew that it was a big shot who was patrolling the city.

They were also quite sensible, and they didn't dare to speak out, so they hurriedly carried things away in shame.

In the car chased, Wang Yun sighed weakly and said, "Forget it, forget it... I have seen too many such things, and it is useless to care about them... Let's go."
