Chapter 129: Gu Yi and Dong Bai are about to be married! A mysterious woman from Liangzhou?

Time flies.

As batch after batch of Han court officials left Luoyang, Emperor Liu Xie also embarked on the road to move the capital to Chang'an.

And accompanying Liu Xie as the final group to depart were, naturally, Dong Zhuo and tens of thousands of elite troops.

The road to Chang'an was not particularly winding.

Outside Hangu Pass, Niu Fu and fifty thousand Xiliang armored soldiers were also there to welcome them.

Finally.

At the very moment Liu Xie stepped into the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an.

An old era passed away along with it.

At the same time.

Gu Yi also received the long-awaited system notification sound.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for changing the historical progression of the "Burning Luoyang, Moving the Capital to Chang'an" event. The fates of all the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army, as well as the people of Luoyang, the Han court officials, Emperor Liu Xie, and others have been significantly affected!】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Curved Shaft Plow Forging Manual, the Mo Dao Forging Manual, and the Divine Arm Bow Forging Manual.】

This time, the system reward did not activate any new talent traits.

But correspondingly, he obtained three volumes of forging manuals.

The curved shaft plow naturally needs no explanation.

It is frequently mentioned in historical books of later generations.

This object is simple to operate when plowing fields, saving manpower to a great extent and increasing labor productivity in the feudal era.

The Mo Dao is a product of the Tang Dynasty.

Its other name is the Horse-Chopping Saber!

In the Great Tang's wars of conquest against the Turks, it rendered no small amount of merit.

The Divine Arm Bow is roughly a product of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Compared to the crossbows of the late Han period, it is much more powerful in both accuracy and lethality.

Gu Yi silently accepted the three volumes of forging manuals.

After the military reform officially begins, the Mo Dao and the Divine Arm Bow can be used to arm the new army.

The curved shaft plow can also be used to help the people in the Guanzhong region save more time and energy when cultivating their land.

After settling all matters.

Dong Zhuo once again convened a grand court assembly in the name of Emperor Liu Xie.

Of course, rather than calling it a grand court assembly.

It would be better to call it a reshuffling of positions for those within Dong Zhuo's army.

For example, Gu Yi was originally the Magistrate of Luoyang; after moving the capital to Chang'an, he was transferred to become the Magistrate of Chang'an.

In reality, Gu Yi was just a "nominal prefect" who collected a salary without doing any work.

Whether it was the administrative affairs of Luoyang or Chang'an, he almost never intended to interfere.

By comparison, he had more important things to resolve.

After moving the capital to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to let Gu Yi and Dong Bai get married.

According to the fortune-tellers in the court, the end of the month was an auspicious date.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and after discussing it with Gu Yi, the wedding date was set.

In the days that followed, Gu Yi basically ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion every day.

As for the things that needed to be prepared before the wedding.

Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and Dong Yuan had already helped him prepare everything.

And upon hearing the news that Gu Yi and Dong Bai were about to be married.

The person with the most mixed feelings was none other than Cai Yong.

He had originally intended for his daughter, Cai Zhaoji, to win over Gu Yi as quickly as possible before moving the capital to Chang'an.

But clearly, this plan had failed.

Dong Bai becoming Gu Yi's principal wife was already a foregone conclusion.

What was left for Cai Zhaoji was either the status of a concubine or to work hard and strive for the title of a titled lady.

But a titled lady is not easily obtained.

Looking across the entire two Han periods, the number of women who earned the title of a titled lady could be counted on one's fingers.

And generally, only the principal wife had this qualification.

Helpless, Cai Yong fell into a dilemma.

If he were to give up on Gu Yi as a son-in-law, he didn't want to accept it from the bottom of his heart.

Cai Zhaoji's marriage had long since become a source of worry for him.

Ever since Wei Zhongdao of Hedong passed away, the smearing by the Wei family had already left no one daring to propose marriage to Cai Yong.

Now that he had finally encountered such a young talent as Gu Yi, how could Cai Yong be willing to let him go?

But for a moment, Cai Yong found it hard to accept the fact that Cai Zhaoji could only be a concubine to Gu Yi.

However, the sisters Cai Zhaoji and Cai Zhenji saw this quite openly.

Under the flirtations of the old playboy Gu Yi, both sisters had already fallen.

Let alone being a concubine for Gu Yi.

Even if there were no official status.

Neither sister would be that resistant.

On the outskirts of Chang'an.

A woman in tattered clothes with tear-stained cheeks was riding an exhausted warhorse, rushing toward Chang'an.

With a "thump"!

This poor warhorse, in the end, could not bear the heavy burden.

It foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground, never to stand up again. ===== CHAPTER 130 =====
