Luoyang City was the capital city of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was also one of the most populated cities. According to official information, there were millions of people.
For a country with a population of only 60 million at that time, this was already a large proportion.
Luoyang City was also the political, economic, and cultural center of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
There was a dense population here, so naturally, there were a large number of talents. Of course, it was also a place where military power was concentrated.
Looking at the crowd outside the east gate, Zhang Tian began to fantasize about whether he could recruit a few more talents in addition to completing his plan.
That would be great.
Zhang Tianqi was stunned on his horse. Emperor Zhao Yun asked,"
"Lord, can we enter the city now?”
"Yes, that's enough. By the way, Zilong, if there are outsiders, you should call me Second Young Master."”
Zhang Tian did not want to expose his ambition so early. Moreover, only Guo Jia knew what he was thinking. Zhao Yun was just following the wind and did not know what he was really thinking.
The so-called lord generally had three meanings.
The first was how the officials addressed the monarch.
The second was the honorific that servants used to address their masters.
The third was the respectful address the guests gave to the male host.
Obviously, Zhang Tian wanted the first effect.
This meant that he wanted to become a monarch. If others heard this, it would not be a joke.
At least, before the warlord civil war completely started, he did not want others to know about this.
"Yes, Second Young Master."
Zhao Yun was also smart. She had only reminded him once and remembered it.
"Alright, let's enter the city."
Zhang Tian looked at the tall East Gate and smiled.
Ten horses and ten riders entered the city.
However, according to the usual practice, Zhang Tian, who didn't have an official position, just regarded himself as an ordinary swordsman who entered the city with a horse.
As soon as they entered the city, a bustling crowd appeared in their sight.
This was Zhang Tian's first time coming to Luoyang. He was also a little confused. He didn't even know where to go.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Eye staff had already appeared in front of them. As long as they followed them, they would be able to reach the inn that had been prepared beforehand.
Xiang Yue and Lu Fei had discussed and studied Zhang Tian's residence for a long time. In the end, they decided on a place called Yue Wei Residence.
The most important reason for choosing this place was that it was a very lively intersection. If anything happened, there were several escape plans.
This was also the virtue that the two women had gained after being taught by Zhang Tian for many days. It was an extra path of retreat, sometimes an extra way of survival.
After choosing this place, Xiangyue spent a large sum of money to buy it and had Lu Fei move the Heaven's Eye branch in Luoyang to this place.
As a result, everyone in the inn was Zhang Tian's subordinates. There were no less than 50 Zhang Family Army soldiers protecting him in secret.
In addition to the well-trained Heavenly Eye personnel nearby, there were nearly eighty people available. With these, it was enough to deal with some small-scale emergencies.
After Zhang Tian and Zhao Yun arrived at Yuelai Residence, there were already people waiting there. After settling the horses, they led their master to the best room.
The Heaven-tier room was very spacious and stood facing the street. There was a huge window that ensured a good view.
However, the bedroom was on the other side. It was extremely quiet and could guarantee the quality of sleep.
"This place is not bad."
After walking around the room, Zhang Tian said with satisfaction.
The person in charge of the Heavenly Eye stationed in Luoyang, Wang De, who had been praised, suddenly had an excited look in his eyes.
On the surface, Wang De was a very loyal and honest person. He looked to be in his thirties, at the age of maturity.
When the Sky Eye was first established, it was basically made up of women. At the same time, in order to not attract attention, everyone was not given the surname Zhang like the Zhang Family Army. Instead, they had a variety of surnames to prevent others from seeing through them.
This Wang De had indeed been personally summoned by Lu Fei more than a month ago.
That was when the Heavenly Eye started to expand after receiving financial support. Lu Fei followed Zhang Tian's example and personally went to the refugees outside the city to find talents. That was when she saw Wang De, who was unattractive and would be quickly forgotten after being thrown into a crowd.
This kind of face was the most suitable for intelligence work.
If a person's appearance was particularly outstanding, it often meant that he was not suitable for this job. After all, once you appeared, everyone would pay attention to you, which would increase the difficulty of many things.
After passing the appearance test, Lu Fei personally chatted with Wang Dexiang and found out that this person used to be a swordsman and often moved around Luoyang.
Later, due to an accident, he offended the most famous swordsman, Wang Yue. His right arm was injured and he was forced out of Luoyang. He met refugees and went to Chen Liu, which was still considered peaceful in the chaotic world.
He used to be a swordsman, which proved that he had extraordinary skills.
He also operated in Luoyang all year round to understand the situation there.
Lu Fei then asked Hua Tuo to treat her injuries. After some training, she gave him enough money to come to Luoyang and buy this Yuelai Residence.
Wang De rarely saw Zhang Tian, but he knew that he was the real master.
After being praised, she quickly replied,
"Thank you for your praise, Second Young Master."
"Hehe, no need to be so polite. You're called Wang De, right? I heard from Lu Fei that you offended the Sword King Wang Yue, right? Don't worry, and don't be afraid. I'll settle the matter with Wang Yue for you. From now on, you're mine, and no one can bully you.”
Zhang Tian looked at Wang De and said with a smile.
These seemingly ordinary words were actually so domineering. After Wang De heard them, he not only felt a burst of anger.
"Thank you again, Second Young Master."
"Mm, alright. I've been troubling you these days. If there's anything urgent, you can report to me at any time.”
Zhang Tian waved his hand. As a leader, it was necessary to maintain a proper relationship with his subordinates. It was necessary to keep a certain distance and keep a sense of mystery.
He did not need everyone to understand him. In fact, if he wanted to become the king of a generation, he could not let others know his true thoughts. He had to keep his emotions hidden to have a true deterrent force.
Wang De left with a grateful look. Zhang Tian saw the door closed and looked at Zhao Yun, who was standing beside him with a sword in her hand,"
"How is it? Have you heard of Wang Yue? Do you want to compete?"
