1-052 Dead Border
Lian Li's breath stagnated, and then he became rapid. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Why are those eyes so familiar!
Xia Xinhe stood in front of her, her cheeks were as bright and moving as the autumn moon, her eyes were clear and round, as if she could pinch out water, and her eyelashes were especially long, trembling slightly like butterfly wings. She was dressed in a lilac dress, with a chic jade lotus flower pinned to her drooping bun, pure and harmless, like the amiable mother in the market novels that Lian Li had heard countless times, looking at her with a doting and gentle eye.
Lian Lili looked at it blankly, for some reason, the corners of his eyes were sore, and he almost burst into tears.
Xia Xinhe looked at her with a smile, slowly stretched out his hand, lightly touched her cheek, and then his fingertips melted and penetrated through Lian Li's face.
Lian Carp's body was like a cloud of mist, which was gently touched and dispersed by Xia Xinhe, and then condensed into a body like a real painting.
Xia Xinhe's hand penetrated Lian Li, and sighed at the Migu behind Lian Li: "Look at you like this, if you leave in a few ****, what do you think you should do on the island?"
"What else can I do, I'll come to my brother Liancheng every day!"
The girl who called the valley smiled and waved the chicken wings in her hand, and the clouds sewn from countless colored threads on the neckline and sleeves shone in the sun. Xia Xinhe smiled helplessly, but Migu's eyes lit up, raised one hand and shouted happily at the distant street, Brother Liancheng ran away, Lian Li followed her figure in a daze, and looked into the distance, her face became even whiter.
The streets were crowded, and even though he hadn't seen him for several years, Lian Li recognized the man who was leaning against the corner at first sight.
King Jing Liancheng wore a high crown of hair and tilted his head slightly, as if he was looking for someone in the crowd. His back was against the wall at the back of the shop, and when he heard the cry of the valley, he turned back and smiled, peaceful and elegant, just like an elegant and timeless landscape freehand, poetic and picturesque.
Xia Xinhe, King Jing, Lost Valley.
Lian Carp retreated in horror. In the crowded streets, countless people came and went like phantoms around her, and it was not until the three of them talked and laughed slowly walked away that she gasped unconsciously.
She looked around, but found that as the three of them walked away, the bustling noise of the surrounding market began to fade away, and even the plackets of the pedestrians gradually faded their bright colors and turned gray, the rhythm of the rattle swaying as the children ran became slower and slower, and the water scooped out by the stall owner kneading the dough turned into a crystal splash in mid-air, but it did not fall......
Until the three of them disappeared into the corner of the street, the originally lively street scene gradually solidified like a carving of sand and stones, and the wine flag raised in the corner of the building fluttered more and more slowly, until it condensed.
Time stopped.
Lian Li stood in a solidified black and white picture, at a loss, she subconsciously chased in the direction where Xia Xinhe and the three disappeared. Running all the way, she was like a ghost wandering in a dead river, shuttling through all kinds of frozen figures without any obstacles, like an invisible wind, running forward quickly.
She ran for a long, long time, but she never saw Xia Xinhe and them again.
When Lian Li stopped, he suddenly found that he was not in Wei Jing at all.
The surrounding buildings were rough and simple, she thought about it carefully, along the way it was obvious that there were many restaurants and iron shops, and many of the food stalls on the street were smoked bacon or green onion baked cakes from the north; she saw a woman holding a child beside her with dark and rough skin, but the smile on her face was sincere and warm. This woman's dress is as simple as many people on the street, not as elaborate as the people in Beijing, but more concise and practical.
Looking at the distance, many low and flat houses are scattered along the street at the foot of Lian Li, and a very tall city wall in the distance is five or six times higher than the roof of an ordinary residence, I don't know if it is because of the solidification of space, it looks unusually tall and solemn.
This is a border town.
Lian Li's surprise probed into this strange border city, walked to the notice board at the street entrance and stopped, I don't know how many layers of notice paper have been pasted on it has fallen off a lot, the latest two notices are very conspicuous, one is to notify the Mid-Autumn Festival lantern festival in the near future, and the other is the military subsidy that each household stipulates voluntary funding, which is used to reward the soldiers stationed at the border pass.
Lian Li noticed that the payment was for "Luocheng", which was a little unfamiliar, and then patted his head and scolded himself for being too idle.
Because the western land is bordered by boundless forests, the wild beasts in the forest eat people and do not spit out bones, and they also have a name called "Forest of Gods and Ghosts", so there is no need to be too strict in guarding the west since ancient times. As a result, the border of Wei was divided into three sides, North Qin, South Chu, and East Qi, which were far away from these three countries.
The state of Chu in the south is self-respecting and orthodox, so naturally it will not fight a nameless war; the state of Qi has been warm and hospitable since ancient times, and has frequent trade contacts with the Wei state, and even spawned several important commercial and trade towns on the border between the two countries; while the main defensive object of the Wei state is the Qin state, which is the country in the northern frontier with the most barren resources among the four kingdoms in the world, but the military strength is faintly higher than that of the other countries.
The strength of the Qin State is not unreasonable, the North Qin is windy and sandy, their living conditions have always been slightly inferior, and the endless rich grasslands in the north have nourished the BMW strong soldiers of the Qin State, the Qin people are still black and martial, and the people are fierce, since the beginning of the succession of Emperor Wei Ling decades ago, the Qin State became famous in a war, and the national strength skyrocketed into the ranks of powerful countries.
It's just that the four countries are eyeing each other, and the Qin State has not dared to make much of a move in recent years, and it is quietly dormant, just waiting for an opportunity to become strong again.
And the reason why Lian Li knew these situations was not because she was diligent in her government and loved the people and studied hard, but when she made a mistake when she was a child, she was compared with the prince of Qin who entered the temple. It is said that the successive emperors of the Qin State were full of fratricidal tyranny, and after Wei Ruoshui's lecture, even the carp felt that he had burned the high incense of eight lifetimes as the emperor.
She looked at the tall city wall in the distance, and was in a trance, unable to believe that she was in a small border city.
In more detail, Luocheng is a small city that supports the military defense in the north of Wei.
Before the last few mediocre emperors, several generations of Wei lords were also stunned and shocked. A long time ago, a certain Wei emperor had foreseen that the Qin state would be strong in the future, and he aimed at the Qin state in the northern border to delineate three large cities to form an equilateral triangle pattern, Qucheng was at the forefront of the northern frontier, and Linden City and Yecheng were behind the two sides of the guard, and the distance between the three was equal and they could each rely on their geographical advantages to form their own guards. The three border cities were used as the main garrison points, and Lian Li's uncle Wei Ruoshan was stationed in Linden City.
And in the middle of the border between the three major cities, and each set up a small border city to play the role of military garrison and temporary fortress, the inhabitants of the city in the leisure time to farm, and the war to form an army, the city is such a place.
But how did Uncle Wang come to the border? Why did she appear here?
I had a lot of thoughts, and I walked until my back was sore and my legs were weak, and I walked around the only three streets in the city. At this time, she looked around blankly, and the scene was a desolate gray, and she really didn't understand why she was here.
When she was melancholy, her eyelids suddenly jumped, and in a flash, she flashed behind the aunt who was carrying the vegetable basket next to her.
She saw a sneaky middle-aged man, looking nervously around in the crowd, clumsily covering his tracks, and from time to time his hands on his chest, as if he was secretly hiding some treasure.
