Chapter 16: Ruichen is missing
Seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, and at the speed of the hidden soul, it only takes three days to reach Fengming City, but now it has been seven days, and there has been no news back. These days, Lin Wan has been reading books in the courtyard except for greeting the old lady in the morning and evening. The news of the gale wind coming every night is also very common, and there is no movement in all aspects of the capital. Every night, Qingtong took Wang Qi to check Zhao Liniang's pulse, and there was no sign of being poisoned.
Everything seemed to be calm, but Lin Wan's heart became more and more uncalm.
These days, she finished reading the geographical records she brought back from the palace, and found that the history and geography of this time and space were completely different from the dynasties and dynasties she knew in her previous life.
Lin Wan is now located in the Great Feng Kingdom, located in the Central Plains, south of Nanyue State, north of North Chen State, west of Xiling State, east of Dongli State.
The Great Seal is the most powerful country in this time and space.
South Vietnam is second, and has always been eyeing the Great Feudal State. Lin Wan'er's uncle, Zhao Fengwu, the general of Pingnan, guarded the southern gate of the Great Feudal State to seal the southern city, and the army of the South Yue Kingdom clashed many times, winning and losing each other, but with Zhao Fengwu here, the South Vietnamese army has never broken through the South City in ten years, so the most hated thing by the South Vietnamese people now is Zhao Fengwu.
The Northern Chen State is a nomadic people, good at raising and taming horses, and is the main exporter of war horses, and all countries are friendly with it. The population of the Northern Chen Kingdom is sparse, but everyone can sing and dance, and is brave and good at fighting.
Xiling country is mostly a mountain range, producing gold, silver, iron ore and jade, there are many skilled craftsmen to create weapons, and most of the weapons of various countries come from Xiling country. All kinds of gold and silver jewelry and jade from Xiling are also very popular with nobles and ladies from all over the world, but they are extremely rare and expensive. There were often wars between Dafeng and South Vietnam, and the arms support of the Xiling Kingdom to the two countries was indispensable. The Xiling Kingdom had trade with all countries, did not favor any one country, and did not participate in wars, so the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and were very rich.
Dongli and Dafeng and Nanyue face each other across the river, and the long Fengli River is like the patron saint of Dongli, keeping Dafeng and Nanyue out of the country. The country is mostly hilly and plain, with a large area of arable land and abundant grain, but the military is not strong. Since the great feudal state, it has been a vassal state of the great feudal state, and the grain is paid to the great feudal country every year, which is equivalent to the granary of the great feudal country.
Zhou Chang'an, the current emperor of the Great Feng State, is the fourth generation of the emperor of the Great Feudal State, which has been a great feudal country for nearly a hundred years.
However, in the past ten years, the great feudal country has gradually retreated in national strength, and people's hearts are turbulent and stormy. The main reason for this is that the mainstay of the Dafeng State, which has always undertaken the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country, the Feng Family Army, gradually withdrew from the political stage of Dafeng after Zhou Chang'an ascended the throne, until now the entire Feng family has disappeared without a trace.
The reason for this is not written in the history books, but the great achievements of several generations of generals of the Feng family are extremely praised.
More than 20 years ago, the Nanyue Kingdom secretly communicated with the Dongli State and attacked the Fengnan City on a large scale, and the five generals of the Feng family were sent to the battlefield one after another, swearing to defend the Fengnan City. However, the Nanyue State has been recuperating for decades, 500,000 troops have pressed the border, and have the support of grain and grass from the Dongli State, this battle has been fought for three years, the imperial court is unable to support, the Feng family army has been defeated and retreated, and finally retreated to Fengming City.
General Feng, who was over fifty years old at the time, ignored the opposition of the emperor at that time, and personally led the 100,000 Feng family silver armor troops who stayed in the capital to rush to Fengming City. But when General Feng Lao arrived, the last general of the Feng family, that is, Concubine Chen's father, Feng Xiangyu, the youngest son of General Feng Lao, had also disappeared on the battlefield. General Feng Lao endured his grief and fought the remaining 300,000 troops of Nanyue with 100,000 silver armor. The Fengjia Silver Armored Army won more with less, invincible, and the enemy was frightened and retreated, and it took only half a year to drive the South Vietnamese army out of Fengnan City.
In this battle, the South Vietnamese army of 500,000 was left with more than 50,000 people in the end, and the 100,000 silver armored army was less than 10,000. The vitality of the South Vietnamese State has been greatly damaged, and although it has been constantly harassing the city of Fengnan in recent years, it has not attacked on a large scale.
After General Feng Lao returned to Beijing, he resigned and pleaded guilty. The Silver Armor Army also suffered heavy casualties, and the whole army returned to the field. Three years later, Zhou Chang'an ascended the throne, and the era name Yongsheng was established, and the crown princess Lu was appointed as the queen. In the same year, Feng Xueyu, the only descendant of the Feng family, who had completed the period of filial piety, was named Concubine Chen.
In the eighth year of Yongsheng, Concubine Chen. At the age of twenty-two, he left the Seventh Prince, who was not yet seven years old at the time, and passed away. In the same year, General Feng Lao died, and the whole country mourned. Since then, the Feng family has gradually disappeared in the capital without a trace, and even no one in Dafeng knows the whereabouts of the Feng clan people in the whole country.
There are a lot of secrets about the royal families of various countries written in the geographical chronicles, but what attracts Lin Wan the most is what happened to the Feng family, if things still develop according to the original historical trajectory, then the Zhao family will end up with the same ending.
Lin Wan felt a little headache, put down the book, came to the window, and looked at the rain of petals flying outside the window, feeling a little melancholy. Although I have only been in this world for more than ten days, the more I know and the more clearly I see, the more complicated and indescribable I feel. I felt a huge net covering me, depressed and powerless. I hope to put everything aside to live a civilian life, believing that I can support myself. However, she can't, because she wants everyone around her to live well, not just herself.
Lin Wan couldn't help but sigh, and when he turned around, he found that Gale was standing behind him with a heavy expression, and Lin Wan chuckled in his heart.
Gale bowed and said, "Miss, there is news from the hidden soul that Childe is missing." ”
"What's going on?" Lin Wan asked with a frown.
"I don't know the specific situation, the Hidden Soul said that the Seventh Prince and the Son disappeared in Fengming City together, it should be the hand of Your Excellency Shadowless, and the Hidden Soul is tracking. Commander Zhao had also rushed to Fengming City, but the other party had three hall masters there, which was very tricky. Gale said.
Lin Wan frowned and thought about it, and said, "Tell me about the situation in the Shadowless Pavilion." ”
"The Shadowless Pavilion was founded in Fengming City eighteen years ago, and three years later it became the number one killer organization in the feudal kingdom and moved its headquarters to the capital. The Shadowless Pavilion continues to grow, with branches in Nanyue, Beichen, Xiling, and Dongli, but the Shadowless Pavilion keeps a low profile, never trading with the royal families of various countries, and does not participate in military and political assassinations in various countries. The Lord of the Shadowless Pavilion is very mysterious, no one has ever seen it, in the past, the headquarters of the capital was presided over by the main hall master, and in the past two years, the young master of the Shadowless Pavilion, Changfeng Gongzi, was in charge. Headquartered in Fengying Wushuang, Wuyingge is the largest Fengyue place in the capital. Just next to our Tianxiang Building, Changfeng Gongzi often goes to Tianxiang Building for dinner, it is said that he is only seventeen or eight years old, and he acts very arrogantly and uninhibitedly, and taking the task not only depends on the price, but also depends on his mood. And he is young, but his martial arts are not under the masters of several halls. ”
"Well, we're going to meet this young master tonight. Lin Wan commanded lightly.
Gale was stunned for a moment, and responded, "Yes." ”
