After fifteen days of waterway, we finally arrived at Hanyi Pier. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was two days longer than expected, and it was the reason why the southerly wind blew most of the time, which hindered the speed of the ship to a certain extent, which made the original arrow-like ship have a three-day journey by two days.

is about to arrive at the city he left ten years ago, in addition to mixed feelings, he can't help but worry about the extension of this ship created by the Wu Dynasty, which was originally more than a month of waterway can be reached in just over ten days, and the breakthrough of this dynasty in some areas is indeed staggering. It is not unreasonable for the emperor to be violent and the country prosperous and powerful. Their own path is destined to be difficult.

In addition to the corner towers equipped with rune cannons, there are also a total of eight warships with a total of hundreds of people, with the Great Martial Banner moored on the river. There are tight sampans and scattered passages from the river to the shore, and there are beacon towers and guards on the surrounding hills, which can swallow up the rebel forces at the dock in an instant, and notify the city of Hanyi.

Jingyang looked up to the north, this canal is already at the end of here, and if you want to go north, you can only travel by land, but this canal has not reached the end, but has been extending to the north, and there is no end in sight. On the river, there were chains of ships blocking the way, and on land, the mountains were used to build barriers, isolating the area into a forbidden place where no one had set foot.

"Over there is the military stronghold of the Wu Dynasty." Lu Wuqin walked beside Jingyang and explained. The strong aura on his body made all the officials of the Supervision Department silently keep a distance of several zhang from him, not daring to approach, so this slight explanation only fell on Jingyang's ears.

"Master, why do you know?" Jingyang asked.

Lu Wuqin smiled slightly, "Between the Wu Dynasty and my Nine Swords Sect, they always test each other and figure each other out, and the secrets between each other are naturally much less than what ordinary people don't know. ”

Feeling that the people around me are not the same kind of people or people of the same identity as themselves, but they have the same hostile relationship, I can't help but feel a sense of belonging, and the fear that the hazy memory will be renovated again has faded a lot.

There is still a day to go from Hani Pier to Hanyi City. After the leader of the dock garrison came to meet Yuan Bo and Lu Wuqin and Jing Yang, the top two leaders of the Nine Swords Sect, their team embarked on the final journey.

After more than ten days on the boat, the horses immediately rushed at full speed without resting in the field, and there always seemed to be discomfort, but the men of the Supervision Department did not give the horses a chance to breathe, but hurried quickly.

"It's normal for them to be in a hurry, after all, in six days it will be the day when Emperor Shenwu summons you, and before that, there will be some ministers who want to see you." Lu Wuqin sat in the carriage and said.

Jingyang calculated the days for a while, there were indeed only six days left before Emperor Shenwu summoned the five major sects and the five top names of the top one, glanced at Lu Wuqin who was sitting beside him, and asked, "Emperor Shenwu summoned him, what will he say?" ”

"It's nothing more than words to appease you and show the emperor's grace." Lu Wuqin said disdainfully, "They will inform you of the specific arrangements later." ”

"Hmm." Jingyang understood, and his gaze in the direction of Han Yi outside the carriage gradually became blurred.

Today is the 14th day of the eighth month of the tenth year of Emperor Shenwu, there are still six days before Emperor Shenwu summons him, and there are still 13 days before the day when Zhang Jian kills his head.

On the road these days, he has been repeatedly deducing his plan, and nothing is foolproof, but he has no choice.

……

The carriage finally arrived at the foot of Hanyi City at night, and the twenty-zhang high huge wall of Hanyi City stood like a giant, stretching out on both sides without seeing the edge, almost dividing this piece of heaven and earth. The walls were clearly visible on the plains a few miles away, and the torches above the walls were as bright as the stars.

Jingyang's heart also began to tighten a few miles away, until he reached the foot of this Hanyi City, the huge walls and tall rune turrets were suffocating, and the strict security and the dense runes on the city walls all announced how powerful this city was and how powerful it was to be bullied.

As the most prosperous city in the world, the city wall here is also one of the most difficult to conquer in the world, but this city wall has been some years old, and there are traces of dense repair like rune lines on it, which makes people think of how many holes it once was.

Jingyang's eyes couldn't help but flutter, his heart was lonely and sad, and the picture of ten years ago couldn't help but come to mind.

Ten years ago, this place was littered with corpses and devastation, and when Wei Jian took him away, he looked back at the hazy vapor and scarlet glow of the heavy rain.

"Hanyi City is known as the most prosperous city in the world, although it is a claim, but this is an indisputable fact for thousands of years, this wall was built by Emperor Yinzu, known as the strongest wall in the world, but ten years ago still failed to stop the Shenwu army."

Lu Wuqin's voice interrupted his thoughts that spread back to ten years ago, Jingyang came back to his senses, restrained his mood and did not show flaws, and said: "Where in the world is there a city wall that cannot be broken." ”

At this time, it was the time of the night fast, the city gate was closed, and a sergeant on the top of the city shouted, "Who is coming?" "Although the distance between the top and bottom is dozens of zhang, the rune lines on the city wall have the effect of transmitting sound, so that the speaker's good will stand in front of him.

The officials of the Supervision Department frowned, the clothes of the Supervision Department were the most unique and eye-catching, but this sergeant did not recognize them, which made them in the most powerful court organization in their hearts arrogant and angry.

A bright red token was taken out of his arms, and a servant said coldly: "Even the Supervision Department can't recognize it?" Yuan Bo, director of the Supervision Department, returned to the court. ”

The scarlet token was still very conspicuous at night, and the word "supervision" on the token was as dazzling as a sword, and the sergeant, who had been disdainful, chuckled in his heart, and only then did he see clearly the red robes on their bodies that seemed to be dyed with blood.

The sergeant guard hurriedly said: "My subordinates are clumsy, I hope that Lord Supervision Department will forgive me." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly greeted and opened the city gate.

The official snorted coldly and accepted the token.

"The people of the Supervision Department, even if they are just officials, are arrogant like this." Jingyang couldn't help but sarcastically.

Lu Wuqin said lightly: "With the support of the eldest princess, and a ruthless head like Peng Jiuling, plus the supervision power above the various departments and supervisors, in the face of the rest of the people, it is natural to have no fear." ”

"With such an institution that breaks the balance of the various divisions, why would Emperor Shenwu allow it to exist?"

"Perhaps, it's because he trusts his sister."

Jingyang said: "Since ancient times, kings have been afraid of the distribution of power, intending to monopolize power, such a large supervision power is under the hands of the eldest princess, and the lifeblood of the entire Wu Dynasty is almost held by the eldest princess, this Shenwu Emperor inevitably trusts his sister too much." ”

"There is no father and son in the court, let alone brothers and sisters, who knows about the affairs of these brothers and sisters."

Jingyang looked at Lu Wuqin, "You don't even know about the Nine Swords Gate?" ”

Why would Emperor Shenwu give such a terrifying right to his sister? Jing Yang has always been puzzled about this matter, perhaps the world thinks that it is just a means for the two brothers and sisters to jointly hold power, and to contain the public and Cai Yao from monopolizing power, but Jing Yang understands that this is not the case. What king would trust his sister so much that she wouldn't betray? Family affection is often fragile in the face of power, let alone such a one-on-one brother and sister who are ruthless? Even if he trusts his sister enough, where does he get the confidence that Li Ruosi will definitely be able to take on such a responsibility? Possess such capabilities?

There may be other reasons for this, but even Mao Guojing, the head of the intelligence agency of the Wu Dynasty's court, the head of the Intelligence Department, doesn't know the reason, just as he doesn't know why Tianya Sword, one of the five major sects that floated in the world ten years ago, chose to belong to the Wu Dynasty.

There are always a lot of secrets in this world that are not well known, and for the Wu Dynasty, Jingyang only wants to know as much as possible.

Lu Wuqin does not shy away from his personal disciples, and there are no secrets that are difficult to tell him, after all, his only personal disciples are like his own sons in his eyes, but he really doesn't know about these things, and said: "The Nine Swords Sect doesn't know these things, and there are many things in the Wu Dynasty, which are secrets that are not known, and no matter how much effort you make, you can't know them." Probably, everything is just a matter of the two siblings. ”

Jingyang slowly bowed his head. Indeed, it is not possible for everyone to find out the ins and outs of everything, and perhaps these things will remain a mystery hundreds of years from now.

As the two spoke, the tall, dark gray gates opened wide, and the procession headed toward the city.

As you pass through the gate, which is about ten feet thick, the noise of the city gradually becomes heard.

A city that is still brilliant at night is brightly lit and comes into view.

Tall restaurants, workshops, inns, forests, corner towers stand all over the city, the wide streets are full of vendors and pedestrians, the silk and satin sold are not much better than the Yunanling, and the price is several times higher. The singing of the courtesan came from a restaurant not far away, and the singing around the beam was so provocative that I wondered how much money it would cost to let her sing a song solo.

Jingyang looked at this magnificent city, and his mood rose and fell like the song of the courtesan.

"Give way to the way!"

No sooner had the carriage entered the city than the streets fell silent as a procession rushed from the front, and the crowd scattered in a panic on both sides.

After walking in, I saw that there was a team of more than 20 people, each of whom was wearing the official palace of the court, but unlike the blood red of the Supervision Department, the robes on these people showed a rich green, and the leader had a white crane spreading its wings on it, which was lively and seemed to dance.

"Huang Langping, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is late, and he meets Lord Yuan, the director of the Supervision Department, and hopes that the Lord will forgive his sins."

"No need to be polite."

"I've seen the Heavenly Thunder Sword Master, Jing Shaoxia."

The official who was the leader immediately turned over, dismounted, and knelt on the ground, and after asking Yuan Bo, he got up and bowed to the carriage where Jingyang and Lu Wuqin were.

The officials in Hanyi City have long known about Jingyang's affairs, and the name of no one in their eyes and disrespect for the court has spread throughout the court, so Huang Langping's expression is superficially respectful, but there is a faint disdain. Among the five major sects, except for the Tianya Sword, the other four major sects have a delicate relationship with the Wu Dynasty, so the reception handed down from generation to generation is not as respectful and sincere as in the past, so he seems to be casual when he says polite words.

Jingyang was not surprised by this. His party had just arrived, and the people from the Reiji had already arrived, and it seemed that they had calculated the time to come, and it stands to reason that they should be waiting here.

One of the responsibilities of the Rite Division is to be responsible for these receptions, and it was not surprising that the Rite Division came to Jingyang, glanced at Lu Wuqin, who closed his eyes and did not intend to speak, lifted the curtain and said to Huang Langping outside the carriage: "My lord, I am very polite." ”

"Young man is polite." Huang Langping smiled, but he was slandering inside, a little boy didn't even know how to get off the carriage and talk to the official again?

How did Huang Langping know that Jingyang didn't get out of the carriage on purpose, so he turned around and glanced at Yuan Bo's carriage with a sneer, and said, "Lord Yuan has worked hard, and the next thing will be taken care of by the lower officials." ”

Yuan Bo's voice came from the carriage: "The other four talents have arrived?" ”

The other four refer to the other four sects of nature.

"It's already here, and Jing Shaoxia is already the latest. Knowing that the young man came today, Director Liu had already set up a banquet on the Lisi Mansion and waited, and the gathering of the five talents was a big event, and he didn't want to steal the limelight of the banquet after the adults, so he didn't invite the adults, just a few of them. ”

Jing Yang was a little curious, he knew more or less about the names of the other four Jiayi, but he hadn't seen it. He didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in his mouth, and said, "Then it's troublesome Lord Huang." ”

"It's just a matter of duty, and the young man doesn't have to be polite."

"Lord Yuan, it's been hard to come all the way." Jingyang turned his head to look at Yuan Bo's carriage and said.

Yuan Bo also lifted the curtains, looked at Jing Yang and said, "Jing Shaoxia, then don't do it, in the days of Hanyi City, there is no chance to meet." ”

Jingyang arched his hand and said, "Then the adult walks slowly." ”

"Hahaha, the young man himself is also careful." Yuan Bo said with a smile, turned his head to Huang Langping and said, "Lord Huang, this official will go back to the yamen first." ”

"Congratulations, sir." Huang Langping bent over and said.

After saying that, Yuan Bo's convoy of the Supervision Division headed towards the east. The eye-catching bright red made the people in Hanyi City can't help but exclaim that it is the people of the Supervision Division, and there have been a lot of big things recently, and they quickly figured out who the outsiders were sitting in the ordinary carriage.

Huang Langping turned to the official of the ceremonial department and said, "Lead the team, take the young man and the sword master into the mansion." ”

With that, the team headed north.
