Hulao Pass is located 13 kilometers northwest of Xingyang. There are continuous mountains in the south of the pass, facing the Yellow River in the north, with steep cliffs on the bank, Luoyang in the west, Kaifeng in the east, and the two capitals are shaken. It can be said that "control the throats of the east and west, and hold the bridges between the north and south", "making the Yellow River useless land, and looking at the majestic pass and wandering. The grass is lush, the sky is vast, and the valley is solid and the golden soup is solid." It is precisely because of its unique dangers of mountains and rivers that Hulao Pass has been a place that must be fought for by military strategists since ancient times, and there is a saying that those who get Hulao win the world.

What is the name of "Hulao Pass"?

In the 11th century BC, one day, the sky was high and the clouds were light and the air was fresh. King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty led his ministers to the Zhutian in Zhengzhou to hunt. Suddenly, they encountered a fierce tiger. The tiger's fur was shiny and colorful, and it exuded a cute aura in its might. The warrior "raised Gao Fengrong to capture the tiger alive and offered it to him." King Mu was overjoyed and ordered the tiger to be kept in Dongyu (the former name of the Huzhu), and was called Huzhu.

In the Qin Dynasty, the pass was established here and was called "Hulao Pass". In the first year of Zhongping, Han Ling Emperor felt that the geographical location was important, so he set up "Arcion Pass". All the feudal dynasties after that set up defenses here. During the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanzu was named Hu, and therefore named Hulao, so he changed Hulao to "Wulao". In the Song Dynasty, "Hulao Pass" was also known as "Xingqing Pass". By the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty, Taizu of Song believed that Hulao Pass was "a place for eternal fortresses and a region for heroes to compete", so he changed the name of "Xingqing Pass" to "Gugugu Pass". In history, this pass was once called "Si Shui Pass" and "Chenggao Pass".

As for why the name of this pass was later restored to "Hulao Pass", there is no clear record in history books. However, there is a beautiful legend of Tang Yin (Bohu) circulating among residents living near Hulao Pass. According to legend, one day, Tang Yin traveled through Hulao Pass, looking at the towering green mountains and the surging Yellow River, and painting was rising. So he happily used his brush to paint a colorful tiger on the mountain wall. Unexpectedly, a big tiger was harmed here, and he came and went without a trace. The locals were very scared and even talked about the tiger. Later, Tang Yin passed through this place again and heard that there was a tiger, which was very strange. He went straight to the place where there was a tiger in the mountains, and he saw a tiger blocking the road. However, the tiger was shocked when he saw Yin, and then Yin advanced and retreated to the front of the mountain wall to paint the tiger without seeing it. Tang Yin then wiped the tiger painting and wrote the word "Hulao" on the wall. From then on, the tiger was in danger. So "Hulao Pass" clamored steadily until today.

Due to the importance of the terrain, there were more than 30 wars here from the establishment of the Pass in the 11th century BC to the founding of the country before the founding of the country. Almost every dynasty left behind war horses neighing and the shouts of warriors. However, the people here still think of the most is the era when the Three Kingdoms were in full swing, the Fangtian Painted Ridge of Lu Bu, Zhang Fei's Snake Spear, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Liu Bei's male and female double-stranded sword, and the immortal legend of the Three Heroes fighting Lu Bu.

In the first year of Chuping (190), Emperor Xian of Han, Dong Zhuo took charge of the government affairs, and the patriarchs of various prefectures and counties in Guandong, formed a coalition force, elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, advanced to Hulao Pass, and attacked Dong Zhuo. Hua Xiong under Dong Zhuo was mighty and brave, first defeated Sun Jian, and then killed three generals, Zumao, Yu She and Pan Feng. The coalition was shocked. At this time, Guan Yunchang stepped forward and killed Hua Xiong with warm wine, which was passed down to the eternal message.

Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard that Hua Xiong was killed, so he sent Lu Bu to Hulao Pass. He saw Lu Bu crossing the Red Rabbit Horse flying away like the wind, and the painted halberd in his hand was elusive. He killed Fang Yue and stabbed Wu Anguo again, and was about to stab Gongsun Zan again. In the critical moment, Zhang Fei roared and jumped out, danced with a snake spear and gun and attacked Lu Bu directly. The two fought for fifty rounds, without deciding the outcome; Guan Yu saw this, he waved his hand and waved his way.

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword also entered the formation and fought for another 30 rounds, but still could not fight Lu Bu; at this time, Liu Xuandeqing came to help with the battle with his two swords. "These three people surrounded Lu Bu, and they fought each other." The two sides were in a difficult situation to distinguish. Zhang Fei suddenly retreated, and the snake spear slashed straight into Lu Bu's throat. Lu Bu lowered his head and avoided the spear, but unexpectedly, the purple gold crown of Shufa was picked up in the Sishui River. He was in a daze and fled in a hurry.

Until today, it is said that whenever the stars are full of clear sky, locals often see raging flames on the Sishui River, shining brightly. The glowing place is where Lu Bu's helmet falls into the water. People say that the red light is the reappearance of the blue tassel light.

The first time I stepped onto the magical land of "Hulao", recalling its past legends, it was fascinating and finally broke free from memories. The reason why Li Mi was able to develop the power of the Wagang Army today is because he mastered the Hulao Pass, a barrier that was in danger of the world, and blocked many heroes from his sight. This is one of the reasons. If there is another reason, it is thanks to the governance of the Wagang Army by Chen Luoyan. As a woman, her mind is not very broad, but her talent is definitely not inferior to any man. However, she is a woman after all, and her patriarchal social form has been in the past thousands of years. The attitude makes women have a common weakness, that is, they lack a kind of faith strength, an unattainable courage and independence. Chen Luoyan is a woman, so she also has this weakness. In fact, since I met her in Xingyang last time, although she has not 100% won her heart, it has left an indelible mark in her heart, which has kept wandering in her mind. An idea is that I am not only interested in her, but also affectionate. Therefore, from the moment I left Xingyang, her relationship with Xu Shiji ended. Both of them were the pillars of the Wagang army, so no unpleasant things happened. Under Li Mi's regulation, the two of them secretly broke their relationship.

When I went to Xiaoju, where the fallen geese in Xingyang again, it aroused a sense of guilt for her in my heart. Now when I stepped onto the Huzhu, when I was about to see this jade man who had been uneasy in my heart, that guilt became even more prosperous in the past.

Although Hulao is just a pass, it is not as good as other people. Due to the special care of Hulao by various dynasties in the past, the scale of Hulao Pass has expanded rapidly. Now it has developed into a small-scale city. With the careful management of Li Mi and Shen Luoyan, the population is much more prosperous than that of the late Sui Dynasty.

I quietly sneaked into the residence of Shen Luoyan in Hulao. The placement in the house was a three-point familiar feeling, which was quite similar to the layout of her small living room in Xingyang. It was still a simple and fresh smell. I couldn't help but touch it with my hands on the old but clean table. I felt a little excited and worried. At this time, a sound of flowing water came from the inner hall. I thought in my heart that this beauty was still like this. No matter where she was, the essential homework every night was bathing. Perhaps only warm water and the refreshing fragrance of petals could remove her fatigue for the day. Perhaps only at this moment, her body and mind were relaxed, and she could become a real Shen Luoyan.

Chen Luoyan obviously didn't know that I was in her room at this moment, and I just heard a murmuring: "It's been 543 days, and this enemy has not appeared yet. He...has he already forgotten me? Chen Luoyan, Chen Luoyan, all the beauties around him are the most beautiful in the world. How could he remember you in his heart? Don't wait in a daze."

In my ears, my guilt towards her became even worse.

Chen Luoyan shook her head and stood up from the wide wooden barrel used for bathing. She was pure white and flawless, with a charming pink jade back, delicate and seductive curves, and her solid and plump buttocks were fully revealed in front of my eyes. At this time, Chen Luoyan secretly scolded her: Oh no, I forgot to come over with a cloth towel. Alas, this has been like this for a while, and bathing can't make me feel relaxed." At this point, she sat back into the bathtub.

I reached out to attract the bath towel that was placed outside the screen, gently walked behind her, and then gently draped the bath towel over her shoulders. When my hands touched her smooth skin, I clearly felt the huge shock of her body. I saw her "live" from the bathtub. The water in the bathtub sprinkled on the ground with a "whistle" sound, and my body quickly stood on the other side of the bathtub. The bathtub covered her seductive body the moment she turned her body, and the hostile vigilant eyes shot towards me. When she saw my face clearly, she was stunned. A transparent liquid lingered in her eyes. The body wrapped in the bathtub was trembling gently.

I smiled helplessly and bitterly, and also suppressed the tears in my eyes, opened my arms, opened my arms, and looked at her incredible gaze, and said softly: "Luo'er, I'm back, but you've lost weight."

Chen Luoyan could no longer control her. Tears burst into my eyes and threw herself into my arms. She buried her head in my broad chest and burst into tears. She kept beating her pink fists on my chest, ignoring the bath towel that had fallen from her body, ignoring the plump and huge breasts squeezing against my chest. I hugged her tightly in her arms, patting her palm gently on her pink back, comforting her: "Luo'er is not ashamed. The military commander with hundreds of thousands of people is now hiding in my arms and crying."

After hearing my words, Chen Luoyan raised her head suddenly, raised her pretty face, her face was covered with tears, her eyes were already red, and her mouth was shining, as if a spoiled girl said angrily to me: "Luo'er didn't cry, Luo'er won't cry for you, a heartless man without conscience. Woo..." Before he finished speaking, tears slid down her cheeks like a broken pearl. Chen Luoyan buried her head in my chest again, and her arms tightly hugged my waist, for fear that I would leave again.

I hugged her in my arms and comforted her softly: "Aren't I, a heartless man, back to you, the infatuated woman today? You should be happy, why are you crying?"

Chen Luoyan did not leave my arms this time, buried her head in my chest and said, "What's the use of returning to me this time? Don't you leave tomorrow? Luo'er doesn't want you to leave, Luo'er hopes that Brother Tian will always be with Luo'er."

He gently patted her pink back, held up her pretty face so that my eyes could be able to look directly at her clear eyes, and said softly: "When I defeat Li Mi, I will take my Luo'er to my side and never leave. Believe me, Luo'er's position in my heart is something that no woman can replace."

Chen Luoyan stared at me deeply, and after a long time, she burst into tears and laughed, and said to me sweetly: "Hmph, you're the one. I'm so happy with sweet words, but I still want to punish you and punish you for serving others to wear clothes."

I gently hooked her nose and smiled, "This is not a punishment. It's the most unsuccessful beauty in the world. I'm willing to be punished." After that, I picked up the bath towel in the bucket and wringed it out, I slowly wiped it on Shen Luoyan's delicate and smooth skin. My heart was full of intoxication, and Chen Luoyan's face was also blushing all over the sky, until it reached the pink neck, and even the ears were red. My palms clearly felt that the temperature of her body was rising rapidly, and her legs seemed to have no strength to do it, and gradually snuggled in my arms. I laughed at her, and just wanted to leave to get her clothes, but found that her hands were always holding the corner of my clothes tightly. I felt excited in my heart, and I didn't expect that she was so attached to me.

At this time, the sound of falling goose as thin as mosquitoes came into my ears, "Brother Tian doesn't have to pass on clothes for Luo'er, just carry Luo'er to the couch..."

After hearing Chen Luo'er's words, I felt a sense of intoxicating ripples in my heart and said in surprise: "What? Luo'er means to let me carry Luo'er to bed?"

Chen Luoyan's face turned even more red. She gave me a coquettish look, and her pink boxing hit me on my chest, and said angrily: "I'm so terrified that I know how to tease me and take advantage of me. Why don't you hurry up and do what they say."

I laughed at her maliciously, then picked up her naked body, walked out of the screen, gently placed her on the couch and covered her with a quilt, while I sat beside her.

Chen Luoyan looked at me with eyes fixed on her eyes, with a fascinating smile on her lips, and the lingering happiness was shaking in her smile, and she said to me with a sweet voice: "Think about you, why do you, the unfaithful man, think of you, going to Huzhu to visit me today?"

I covered her quilt again and replied, "Actually, I went to Xingyang to find you a month ago, but when I got there, I realized that you had left Xingyang. By the way, I also taught Li Mi's son Li Tianfan a lesson that day. Hehe, this kid is so slutty that he dared to make a bad idea for my woman. If it weren't for your sake, I'd already killed him with one palm."

Chen Luoyan heard that I had been to Xingyang to look for her a month ago, and she sighed, "Hey, I left Xingyang and came to Hulao the day before. If I could see you in Xingyang at that time, there wouldn't be many things happening..." Although her next two words were muttering, I heard them sincerely, knowing that her mood seemed to have changed a little over the past month, and my heart also became tight, a little cold. So I asked her in confusion: "What? I didn't hear what you said clearly just now?"

The unnatural thing on Chen Luoyan's face flashed and she said to me sweetly: "I mean that Li Tianfan is not a good thing either. Brother Tian taught him a good lesson, so he could be considered as giving a breath for Luo'er."

My heart was gloomy, but there was no trace on my face. I asked Chen Luoyan, "I let you breathe a sigh of relief? Does Li Tianfan have a grudge with Luo'er?"

After hearing this, Chen Luoyan showed an angry and disdainful look on her face and explained to me: "Li Tianfan is indeed a bit brave and scheming of the Secret Master, but his biggest shortcoming is his excessive lust. He even made a mistake with me several times. Later, when the Secret Master learned about this, he gave him a severe lesson. Since then, he no longer had any inappropriate thoughts about Luo'er."

When Chen Luoyan mentioned that someone had an inappropriate thoughts about her, I suddenly remembered a person in my heart, Dugu Ba. It was this person who raped Chen Luoyan in the original book, and he had repeatedly intended to make a fuss about Chen Luoyan when he was in Xingyang. Although I warned him in Xingyang, people like him who are fed and sex would never take my warning in their hearts, so they knocked on Chen Luoyan: "My Luo'er is like a blooming rose, beautiful and fragrant, but without losing the fresh charm of lilies, it will naturally become the object of pursuit by men all over the world. Of course, some villains have a distorted idea of ​​Luo'er. Li Tianfan is definitely not the first person to have an inappropriate thoughts about Luo'er."

When Chen Luoyan heard me praising her beauty, she felt sweet in her heart and asked me happily: "Is Luo'er really as beautiful as Brother Tian said?"

I nodded to her and smiled, "Of course, does Luo'er doubt my eyes?"

Chen Luoyan shook her head happily and continued, "Lin Tianfan is indeed not the first one, but only one who can pose a threat to Luo'er is Dugu Ba. He and the dead Dugu Sheng are called "Dugu Shuangjie" with the great martial arts of "Dugu Shuangjie". It is definitely above me. The first time he successfully attacked me in the woods, and he was about to be defiled by him. At this time, a masked man in black beat him away and warned him to kill him if he acted badly to me again. However, Dugu Ba should not have died, and the intention of sneaking into my residence for the second time was to be strong against me. I couldn't fight him again, and then two masked men in black appeared. One of them I recognized her voice was the one who saved me last time. They killed Dugu Ba and took his body away. I asked them about their identities. They didn't say that they were ordered to protect me in secret. They were assassinated twice by assassin, and the man in black saved me. Unfortunately, Luo'er still doesn't know the identity of this person until now." Chen Luoyan stared at me without letting go of the slightest change in the expression on my face.

But at this moment, I didn't care about her expression, because my mind was still immersed in her retelling just now. When I heard that she was rescued several times, I couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on my face. I also nodded with satisfaction, saying in my heart: Wu Han's instructions to me were fulfilled. Not only did he save Su Su from Wang Bodang's hands, but he also saved Luo'er several times, so that she could avoid being harmed. Yes, hehe, when I go back, I must reward him well. Thinking of this, I suddenly found that Chen Luoyan looked at me with a little wrong look, his expression was a little weird, and tears were shaking in his eyes. I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Luo'er? But I remembered the sad things? Why did I cry again? These things have passed, I just forgot it."

Chen Luoyan sat up and let the infinite scenery on her chest be revealed in front of me. She asked me with a slightly crying voice: "Does Brother Tian know whose order was given to the man in black who saved Luo'er and the crisis several times?"

After hearing her words, I was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said to her: "How could I know the identity of that person? If I knew, I really would like to thank him for saving my baby Luo'er many times."

Chen Luoyan still looked at me intently, tears rolling in her eyes, and suddenly she said angrily: "I still want to lie to me. When Luo'er just retelled it to you, she specifically paid attention to the changes in your expression on your face. When you heard that I was rescued by two men in black, there was no surprise at all. Obviously, you had already expected that I would be rescued, and you nodded subconsciously, and your eyes showed satisfaction with the behavior of the man in black. Although Luo'er was unconsciously better than Zhuge, he still believed in his own eyes. Brother Tian and Luo'er told the truth, was that man in black secretly sent by Brother Tian to protect Luo'er?" After saying that, Chen Luoyan still looked at me with a determined face, looking forward to my answer.

Looking at her haggard face, I gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at her eyes and said, "Although I left Xingyang, my heart is always concerned about Luo'er, Luo'er, as early as in Xingyang, I found Dugu Ba spying on the side. Although I warned him, I was still worried, so I ordered someone to protect you secretly. The reason why you told you is that you are worried that if you accidentally say that you are known by Li Mi, it will definitely arouse his suspicion of you and may put you in a dangerous situation. Brother Tian loves Luo'er so much, how could Luo'er be hurt?"

After hearing my words, Chen Luoyan could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes. The tears fell down, and she plunged into my arms and started crying bitterly. And I didn't know how to comfort her, so I had to pat her pink back as I did just now, so that one hand could hold her in my arms. Chen Luoyan's tears this night were probably more than the tears she had shed in the past twenty years. After a long time, Chen Luoyan took off my arms, with red eyes, lay down again under my comfort, and asked me with a little crying voice: "What is the purpose of Brother Tian's visit to Huzhu this time?"

I smiled at her and said, "The purpose of coming here is of course to see my Luo'er."

Chen Luoyan gave me a blank look, and said with a cute and lovable mouth: "Hmph, I know what others like to hear, but Luo still doesn't know what Brother Tian is thinking? Brother Tian came to Huzhu this time to inquire about the military information of the Secret Duke. Is Luo'er right?"

I smiled at her embarrassedly and said, "Brother Tian wants to defeat Li Mi earlier so that he can marry my Luo'er."

Chen Luoyan stared at me with deep and bright eyes and said in a delicate voice: "It's up to you, but what is your purpose in finally coming here to see Luo'er, so I will reveal to you a little bit of it as a reward for Brother Tian." After saying that, he gave a detailed introduction to Li Mi's recent troops mobilization around Yanshi, such as Xingyang, Luokou, Liyang, Cangcheng, etc.

Li Mi is indeed cheating. Shan Xiongxin's 100,000 army in Li Yang was indeed just a cover, which played a role in restraining the forces of Yang Gongqing of Yanshi and Zhang Zhenzhou of Guanzhou. Li Mi personally led him to convince the 50,000 elite soldiers secretly prepared to bypass Li Yang and attack Luoyang. In addition, Li Mi had indeed reached an agreement with Zhao Deyan. Zhao Deyan's men lurking in Luoyang City took advantage of the chaos to seize the defense of the southern gate of Luoyang when Wang Shichong was in power to attack the palace. He opened the south gate and let Li Mi's troops enter the city. However, Wang Shichong suddenly gave up his plan to attack the palace. . From this point, I guessed that at least one of the people who encouraged Wang Shichong to attack Luoyang behind the scenes was related to Li Mi, and the intelligence network of the Wagang Army was indeed not airtight. In the afternoon, the core of the internal core of the Wang Shichong's power had just decided, and he received such accurate news just at night. The intelligence network of the Wagang Army was indeed omnipresent, which was shocking. But I was not excited at the moment, because I had been waiting for her to explain to me one thing, which was Lang Feng's affairs, but she did not reveal any news to me from beginning to end.

After Chen Luoyan finished speaking, she smiled at me and said, "My reward has been completed. As for the future, it depends on Brother Tian's performance."

I smiled with her, gently stroked her face with my hands, and then smiled at her, "Okay, it's getting late, and Brother Tian should leave, so as not to be discovered, it will endanger Luo'er's safety. Luo'er just needs to remember that no matter when, Brother Tian's heart will always love Luo'er. OK, Luo'er should rest." After saying that, he covered the horn of the quilt for her, leaned down and kissed her forehead, smiled happily, turned around and walked out the door.

Chen Luoyan had tears in her eyes, and a little confused in her eyes. She suddenly sat up and said, "Brother Tian, ​​wait, Luo'er has something to say!"

My heart suddenly broke out and I turned around and looked at her expectantly, waiting for her confession.

Chen Luoyan's eyes and face were covered with complex strange colors, which was the manifestation of the conflict deep in her heart entangled on her face. She wanted to speak but stopped and said softly to me: "Luo'er... Luo'er wants to say to Brother Tian... Be careful on the way, take care of yourself."

I sighed in my heart, a little sad, but I still smiled at her, "Don't worry, Luo'er, I can." After that, I turned around and left.

Tears were silent, endless, and quietly spread across Shen Luoyan's face.

Her tears also flowed into my heart, but I didn't blame her, and I would never blame her at any time. After all, she has her own way to go. Maybe I thought about it too much, and maybe the beauty still exists.

If the beauty is there, can the heart change?
Chapter completed!
