VOLUME 5 CHAPTER 38: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS RIDING AS 3 FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES (15)

Yun Chang POV

Luoyang city was still very big. Though it was burned down once, and the old palaces were also burned down, once people started gathering again, the city slowly regained its old vitality and became a vibrant city once more.

Instead of looking from within the city, when one looks down from the city towers, one would find that the outer parts of the city are still fairly deserted. The more one went toward the city center, the more prosperous new Luoyang city was. And in its heart, it was virtually back to the old Luoyang city.

“Oh~ Looking from up here is more beautiful.”

“Is this the original village of the Central Plains?”

“My lady, they call it a capital city here.” “Luoyang city was the capital city of the Eastern Han. Look at the rubble over there, it was formerly where the palace stood.” “I heard that traitorous retainers from Western Liang attacked the capital and when things got bad, the traitors burned down the place.”

Meng Huo and his band were standing in the city tower. Looks like they’re very interested in the Central Plains.

“Actually, it’s my first time to Luoyang too~”

“Really?! Sister Gan hasn’t been to Luoyang before too?”

“I could have continued with the flow of battle and taken Luoyang a while back but I failed unfortunately. Later on when I came with Xuan De here, all I saw was the wreckage.”

Though Gan Qing and Mi Zhen were from the Central Plains, they hadn’t been here before. On the other hand, what Huo Tuo just said is pretty interesting. If the Yellow Turbans had been able to occupy Luoyang then, history would probably be very different.

My feelings were able to settle as I looked at everyone having fun taking in the scenery.

In such troubled times, the people of Luoyang have not abandoned hope to live. Or rather, the people here are living life to the fullest. It’s almost as if they are living in different times than we are.

“Hai~ It’s the heart of the Great Han after all. This is the sort of place it should be.” I sighed as I thought back to when I was a child and the sights I saw when my father brought me here.

Things have changed. These words really resonate with me.

“The first time I came was with my foster father. I had wanted to tour the streets then but gave up.” Lu Bu said as she played with Red Hare’s little head beside me with a calm face.

“Hai~”

“Is there a problem?”

“No, I just never thought that Lord Lu Bu would want to tour the streets.”

“I actually suffer quite the shock from hearing you say this of me, though I do indeed give people that impression.”
