After returning from Lu Bu's mansion, Liu Yu also began preparations before leaving Luoyang.

Although he had no real job, he was still an official. He couldn't just leave Beijing.

He submitted a petition to the emperor, asking to leave Luoyang and return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

Memorials submitted in the Eastern Han Dynasty all had fixed forms, which were divided into four types in total.

"Chapter", "memorial", "memorial", and "discussion".

"The memorial is to express gratitude, the memorial is to investigate and accuse, the memorial is to express feelings, and the discussion is to resolve differences."

Different contents and different forms.

This petition would undoubtedly be sent to Dong Zhuo's desk. Liu Yu didn't know whether Dong Zhuo would agree or not. If he didn't agree, he would think of other ways.

To his surprise, the results came out soon after he submitted the report.

He was given ten thousand coins to help with this journey.

Liu Yu naturally didn't know that all this was the result of Dong Zhuo's contempt and Li Ru's secret assistance.

Then things become very simple. Prepare the supplies.

Dry food is essential. The dry food of this period was mainly millet, mixed with some unknown vegetables, and made into dry cakes. Liu Yu had eaten it and the taste was hard to describe.

In this era, these dry biscuits are already extremely rare food, and ordinary people cannot afford them even if they want to.

Horses were very valuable during this period, and they were also the food of choice. I'm sure many people in this era would sigh that their lives were worse than those of a horse.

After everything was ready, he went to visit Wang Yun and Cai Yong. He had not been in Luoyang City for long, and these were the only two people he knew well.

Arriving at Situ Mansion and looking at the tall and solemn gate, Liu Yu inexplicably felt some emotion.

After the business card was delivered, Wang Yun walked out of the mansion with a smile on his face after a while.

The two exchanged a few words at the door and came to Wang Yun's study.

After they drank a few cups of tea, Liu Yu prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Wang Yun whispered, "My dear nephew, I have prepared a great gift for you."

Liu Yu asked in surprise.

Wang Yun pretended to be mysterious.

"The time will tell."

Seeing that Wang Yun refused to speak, Liu Yu did not say anything else. After bowing, he turned around and left.

When I visited Cai Yong, he was a little surprised. After hearing that he was going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he didn't say much, but just asked when he would be back.

Liu Yu's answer was ambiguous. Cai Yong smiled and did not ask any more questions. The two drank tea for another half day. Cai Wenji was also a little surprised to hear that Liu Yu was returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking in the night in brocade clothes."

Cai Wenji smiled and said that Liu Yu was not someone who was so short-sighted.

Cai Wenji played a song on the zither to see Liu Yu off.

The melodious sound of the piano is touching.

When everything was ready, Liu Yu prepared to set off.

Huang San kept muttering, feeling somewhat worried.

"Master, I am really worried about you going on a long journey alone."

Liu Yu turned around and looked at the thirty riders following him. He smiled and said, "There are so many people behind us, what's there to worry about?"

In addition to Chen Dao, Liu Yu took away thirty people. It was not that he was unwilling to take more, but there were only so many horses in the mansion. If he took more infantry with him, the speed would inevitably be greatly reduced.

Nowadays, the world is full of banditry and is not peaceful. Although Liu Yu's group is small, they are all elites who are good at riding and shooting. If they encounter a small group of bandits, they can defeat them. If they encounter a large group of people, they can still escape.

"Have you remembered everything I told you?"

Huang San nodded.

"Don't worry, Master. I remember all of this. After seven days, I will give all the servants in the house money and let them leave. The guards and I will also move to the small courtyard in the west of the city."

Liu Yu nodded. In this case, he would be relieved. If the news of his return to the king was passed back to the capital, Dong Zhuo would definitely surround this mansion immediately. If they were not evacuated, these people would probably not survive.

"After you are safely transferred, spread the words I gave you secretly. Make sure no one finds out that it was you who spread them."

Huang San grinned.

"Don't worry, Patriarch. There are many people in the capital and no one will pay attention to it."

Liu Yu thought about it and realized that he was being too cautious. After all, in an era when one could taste "Chen Sheng as the King" even when eating a piece of fish, it was very easy to spread a few prophecies.

Liu Yu thought about it again, and confirmed that there was nothing missing before he said to Chen Dao, "Let's go."

"only."

Chen Dao took the lead, left the mansion, and slowly walked towards the east of the city along the bluestone street.

It was just daybreak, but Luoyang City was already very lively.

The shouts and hawking sounds were endless.

After leaving the East Gate, Liu Yu spurred his horse and galloped away. He stopped at a high slope. He turned his head and looked back at the palace. Smoke was rising and people were thronging. Although it was a chaotic time, there was still an indescribable prosperous scene.

Liu Yu turned around and was about to spur his horse and whip it when a wind blew up in the woods. Where the wind passed, a man and a horse stood there holding swords.

The beard grew wildly on his face, just like the weeds that no one trimmed on the roadside.

When Chen Dao saw someone blocking the road, he was about to ride forward, but Liu Yu waved his hand to stop him.

Liu Yu thought, could this be the gift Wang Yun prepared for him? He rode forward, saluted and asked, "Master Wang, why are you here?"

Wang Yue took a sip of wine, his eyes were like the sea, endlessly deep.

"Yue got the news from the prince, so he specially came here to wait for the emperor's uncle. Would the emperor's uncle be willing to let Yue go with him?"

Liu Yu was overjoyed. With such strong support, why not do something?

"I couldn't ask for more. Master Wang has taught Yu a lot, and he is Yu's master. You can just call him by his name."

Wang Yue nodded. What Wang Yun said was indeed true. Although this man was the emperor's uncle, he was not arrogant at all.

"In that case, I have a condition that I want to tell Yunqi."

"But it doesn't matter?"

"This trip cannot be without wine."

Liu Yu said with a smile: "With the king's army accompanying us, how can we be without wine?"

Wang Yue laughed loudly, his laughter full of heroism.

After whispering to Liu Yu "Wait a minute", he rode his horse into the woods and stopped at an open space.

There were dozens of new graves in the open space. The wooden tombstones in front of the graves were made of tree bark, and the characters were carved with long swords.

Wang Yue took off the wine gourd on his body, opened the stopper of the pot, and poured the wine in front of the grave.

"Brothers, drink this cup. Yue will no longer be able to protect you. Yue must inherit the will of the brothers. Go and kill the thief Dong. After Yue kills the thief Dong, come and drink with the brothers."

After saying that, he took a sip of wine and bowed.

The wind whistled through the forest, like countless ghosts whispering. The distance between heaven and man seemed to be broken at this moment. Wang Yue seemed to see countless warriors in armor standing in front of him. They were tall or short, fat or thin, and they all had smiles on their faces.

Bow. Take care, General.

Wang Yue let out a long howl, which echoed loudly with the whimpering sounds in the forest.

Countless birds in the forest were startled and circled in the sky for a long time.

The whistling sound stopped, and Wang Yue did not stop and jumped on the horse.

The crowd rode their horses along the long road, getting farther and farther away from the majestic city behind them.

Wang Yue turned around and looked towards the woods. Looking at the birds flying in the sky, he felt as if a spring was gushing out, blurring his eyes.
