”Alright, this servant will take his leave.” The pretty girl smiled and got back into the car. Zhang Banxian looked like she had lost her soul, as she stared at the luxurious car in a daze. At this moment, the woman suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage and said softly, ”Once you are in Hanoi, please enter the palace to report to Her Majesty.”
”Alright, as soon as I reach Hanoi, I'll go to the palace and report to Her Majesty.” As if possessed, Zhang Banxian mechanically nodded her head. Just as the carriage was about to leave, Zhang Banxian suddenly remembered something and raised her hand: ”Wait! ”Hold on!”
”Is there anything else for Lord Taishang?” The woman opened the carriage's curtain again and asked.
”Please wait a moment, I have a Recital to give to the empress dowager.” Seeing that the Empress Dowager He was looking forward to see hussar general, the Zhang Banxian suddenly had an idea. He turned around and ran back into her room, hurriedly wrote down a line of Recital, then ran out to hand it over to the palace maid. ”Please go up to the empress dowager. We'll wait at the entrance of the palace for her reply.”
Eunuch was chased out of the palace by Great General and Empress Dowager He, and the reason for sending the message and passing the message was all due to these palace maids. Zhang Banxian didn't know a palace maid, so she asked her to deliver the letter to the palace today. Thinking that she would need to contact the Empress Dowager He in the future, she quickly asked: ”May I know your name?”
”My name is Diao Chan.” The palace maid took the letter and gently parted her red lips. With a slight smile, she put down the carriage curtain. The two coachmen lightly waved their whips, and the carriage rapidly moved forward, leaving behind a faint fragrance in the air.
”Let's go as well. We'll wait at the entrance of the imperial palace.” Zhang Banxian waved her hand, bringing Fei Hong and Liang Ming with him, they mounted their horses and rode out.
Without a eunuch, Zhang Banxian felt that it was inconvenient. They waited at the entrance of the Imperial Palace, but there was not even a messenger. After almost an hour, Diao Chan walked out of the palace and handed a box to Zhang Banxian. ”This is the empress dowager's edict.”
Ever since they came to the Luoyang City, Ding Yuan's army had been stationed outside of the Luoyang's North Gate. Although they had become the gold mine and the Minister of the Court, the imperial government had not arranged living quarters for Ding Yuan in the Luoyang City, so Ding Yuan stayed with the soldiers in the main camp.
Zhang Banxian entered Ding Yuan's camp, and asked to see Master Ding Yuan who was holding the gold. Ding Yuan happened to not be in the city at the moment, and upon hearing that the Hanoi taiwai who was to take over was here, he knew that the Zhang Banxian was here to complete the formalities for the transfer, so he immediately ordered the guards to invite the Zhang Banxian in.
In Ding Yuan's camp, the cavalry unit was in the midst of training, squadrons of cavalry unit flew past, and their shouts to kill shook the heavens. This was the famous Union State Steel Cavalry, the third strongest cavalry after Youzhou and Liang Zhou. However, as the Huns declined, the Union State's Armoured Cavalry also gradually declined.
The Zhang Banxian paid particular attention to the equipment of the Zhanzhou cavalry, and saw that the horses they rode were all Huns, and were almost as big as the fresh and inferior horses. It was just that the soldiers' equipment was too poor. The soldiers only had leather armour s and they were extremely tattered, with bows and arrows on their back. Clearly, they had all made their own weapons, only the ring blade was a standard weapon.
”When Master Zhang Ling arrived, Ding Yuan went out of his way to welcome him, to offend him.” No matter what, Zhang Ling was still the advisor of the Hussar General Yang Lin, and Yang Lin's army was about to reach the Yellow River, Ding Yuan was not willing to offend him, so he quickly brought his subordinates to welcome him.
”Master Ding Yuan is too polite.” The Zhang Banxian cupped her fists together, and cupped her hands towards Ding Yuan and the Generals behind him, at the same time, she took a look at the few generals, and could not help but be shocked. Such powerful generals, no wonder the Lord General was concerned about them!
”This is my master, Lv Bu. These generals are Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and Wei Xu.” Ding Yuan laughed, and then introduced the few generals beside him to Zhang Banxian.
Zhang Banxian smiled and nodded, but she was secretly happy in her heart. Lv Bu was nine feet tall with a jade-like face, and his entire body seemed to be filled with endless strength. The other generals behind him were all over eight feet tall. They all had broad waists and their faces were stern with killing intent.
”Hehe …” Master Ding Yuan's generals are as powerful as the clouds … ” In that moment, the Zhang Banxian seemed to have forgotten her mission and couldn't help but praise him.
”Thank you, Mr. Zhang Ling.” Ding Yuan also laughed and said solemnly: ”Last time when cavalry of Youzhou went south to River, I was fortunate enough to see the army of hussar general. The cavalry of Youzhou is truly well-deserved of his reputation … Not only were they as powerful as the clouds, they were also well-equipped. ”This little army under my command is not even worth mentioning …”
