Chapter 466: My Past
Chu Xianzhao quietly looked at the current scene, although he didn't know what was going on, but in the face of the people of Guhe City who were kneeling densely in front of the two of them, the man in red who couldn't bend down in front of Ying Liyang, until the moment when Ying Liyang put his hand on the top of the man's head, he suddenly found that Ying Liyang really didn't make any jokes with him, it turned out that she really had a care on the Nanlu side, and she was not alone when she left the Yin Kingdom like herself.
The two of them were led by Shen Sanqian all the way, and the people of Guhe City rang the gong on the stone arch bridge to report, Chu Xianzhao felt the charming style of what is the free trade capital, there were strange things everywhere that he had not seen, and some people with broken feet on the side of the road blew strange musical instruments that Chu Xianzhao had not seen, but were wrapped around his body like a green snake, a pair of camel cavalry wearing bronze scale armor appeared from under the bridge, and the cavalrymen wore long knives inlaid with precious stones and sat on gorgeous saddles, and the camels wore colorful blankets and passed on the stone arch bridge proudlyγ
"Those camel cavalry came from Zhejiang and Han, and in Guhe City, you can see the merchants and goods of the countries of the Tianxia Dynasty......
Shen Sanqian enthusiastically introduced everything here to Ying Liyang, but this sentence made Chu Xianzhao subconsciously vigilant, would he see a businessman from the Yin Kingdom here, although his hair was now snow-white due to the large use of Wang Xi, and he still had a rooting mask given to him by Guo Yu on his face, but the color of his eyes still could not be changed, and it would be troublesome if his true identity was recognized.
Although Shen Sanqian added fuel and vinegar to introduce the city to Yingliyang, Chu Xuanzhao could not deny the magnificence of this great city.
There are nearly a hundred small islands in this city built in the lake, and some islands are even the mansions of some high-ranking families, countless stone arch bridges are distributed on the island, and there are various exquisite carvings on the bridges, most of which are made of granite, which record some scenes of sword intersecting wars and pictures of men and women intersecting*, and the openness of the atmosphere makes Chu Xianzhao can't help but be dumbfounded.
Bronze arches in the shape of twin dragons can be seen everywhere in Guhe City, statues of human dragon heads can be seen everywhere, three times the size of a human life, and countless towers stand tall in the city.
Chu Xianzhao had never seen such a tall tower in his life, and the tower was sharp as if it could pierce the clouds.
During this period, they passed through a bazaar, where merchants from all over the world of the Tianxia Dynasty were trading, and the roads were lined with dense trees and flowers, and although the streets did not appear to be very spacious, there were a variety of goods along the way, such as restaurants and restaurants, longboats, and boats.
In Guhe City, you can sell everything except slaves, even if you sell the royal robes of a certain king, no one dares to say anything to you, absolute free trade brings absolute economic power, as long as someone creates something, everything can be bought and sold.
Under the reception of Shen Sanqian and his envoys, Chu Xianzhao and Ying Liyang were carried all the way back to where he lived by his subordinates
Mansion, it seems that no matter what the relationship between this middle-aged man and Ying Liyang is, it can be regarded as giving enough face to the two guests who came from afar.
Chu Xianzhao helped Ying Liyang get out of the carriage, and when he looked up, he could see a pair of fifteen-foot-high pear wood carved gates, Shen Sanqian was full of smiles, and personally greeted Ying Liyang and himself and walked out of the carriage, and after leading the two of them into the deep long gate, he suddenly saw a piece of light.
Shen Taisui invited them to his home very warmly, Chu Xianzhao was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the mansion in front of him to look so much like a palace.
The color of the buildings inside the mansion is almost crimson, and there is still a hint of beauty and tranquility in the solemnity, and after the pear wood gate is slammed shut, the inside and the outside seem to be two worlds.
The rooftops are all inlaid with expensive glaze, and the brightly lit mansion allows the light to penetrate into the sky, and the milky white pillars are carved with golden dragon patterns, like the big pillars used in the palace.
Chu Xuanzhao couldn't help but have this man's wealth, but he ignored that the floor under his feet was also made of white jade, and it was covered with a scarlet carpet, just like the Huailing Palace, where he temporarily stayed in Yan Mang.
The extremely long passage at your feet was flanked by crystal clear tides, and the golden and red carp swam back and forth in the pool, and there were even many fish species that Chu instantly summoned to swim with the carp.
What kind of human and financial resources did the fat man in front of him who led the way for Ying Liyang have to turn an entire island into his own palace, just like those kings with dynastic luck.
Speaking of dynastic luck, in Chu Xianzhao's opinion, the person who really can be called the person who controls the fortune of the dynasty is not as much as the people of the world imagine, except for himself, a strange person in the world who has the fortune of the dynasty of the four kingdoms, he uses Yan Mang and the king of the west to circle and feed the Yinguo fortune pillar, and the Yinhuang Chu Xiaohua, who is in the northwest of the world and is eyeing the South Land Tiger, is counted as one, and the new emperor Zhao Wentian of the Qingguo is naturally also one, with the entire six countries of the Southern Continent behind him to support, it can be described as full-fledged and strong.
Ying Liyang said that in the near future, there will only be three pillars of luck left in the world dynasty, and the Great Qin Dynasty will have a place, so the result is self-evident.
They can't stretch out their tentacles over in the Northern Regions, if the Great Qin Dynasty wants to rise, they will compete for territory on the Southern Continent, why did Ying Liyang want to meet this man, Chu Xianzhao also guessed some clues, if he can get a foothold on the Southern Continent, it is easier than recruiting troops from scratch.
Then the next situation is similar to the situation when Chu Xiaohua reached an agreement with the people of the Golden Horde after being captured by the Golden Horde, and returned to the Yin Kingdom with their army to regain the position that belonged to him, and now this fat red-robed man may play a pivotal role.
If Ying Liyang wants to restore Great Qin on the Southern Continent, he must do so
To take advantage of the general trend of Yinguo Iron Riding southward, if the Daqing Dynasty is determined to fight to the death with Yinguo Iron, the situation of the rise of Daqin will become very favorable.
And it doesn't seem that Ying Liyang came to this ancient city to ask for something with low eyebrows, as if he wanted to make a secret deal with this man, and this transaction is very likely to determine the ownership of the entire world, and even the fate of mankind.
Shen Sanqian finally led the two of them to a quiet courtyard to sit down, and there was a lifelike statue of a flying dragon in the marble pool next to it, and the light reflected by the dragon scales on the statue seemed to come from the blade of the sword.
Chu Xianzhao found that they seemed to have come to a very high place, surrounded by crimson brick walls, with a row of iron thorns on the wall, and when they looked up, they could see the scenery of Guhe City, and on this starless and moonless night, the dense torches on both sides of the harbor illuminated the merchant ships that were passing through the harbor, and the sailors were carrying goods down the ships.
"Eat a full meal first, and talk about other things later, so that the guests who come from afar can't go hungry. β
Shen Sanqian clapped his hands, and the attendants immediately got busy.
Chu Xianzhao sat at the low glass table, Ying Liyang sat beside him, Shen Sanqian's attendants kept adding vegetables to the table, secret suckling pig, sweet vinegar pork ribs, ghee carrots, and even a whole lobster that was set aside, the plump and smooth shrimp meat made Chu Zhaozhao's appetite increase, he politely took a sip of shrimp soup, and then swallowed it a little uncontrollably, since he left Yinguo, he had never eaten so much.
After being full of wine and food, Chu Xianzhao was a little more energetic, Shen Taisui clapped his palms again, and a group of maids in plain white robes with tea sets in their hands walked out with lotus steps, the women under Shen Taisui have too many commendable unique skills, and this tea making is a necessary effort.
The maids' scattered tea sets were neatly placed in front of the three of them, and they began to make tea, which was indeed pleasing to the eye, and it was all amorous to raise their hands and feet.
Even if the person was not close, Chu Xuanzhao could smell a faint fragrance, like the body fragrance coming from the maid, and like the tea fragrance emitted by the tea soup itself.
Taking advantage of the maid's efforts to make tea, Shen Sanqian took the lead in breaking the silence, and instead of greeting politely, he went straight to the point and said: "You have nothing now, only I can help you." Presumably you and I know the current situation, the Northern Regions army is ready to go south to fight with the Daqing Dynasty at any time, thinking of killing the little emperor Zhao Wentian in Luoyang City in one go, but recently there was a thing that shocked the world, the son of the Yin Kingdom escaped at his wedding, which is equivalent to the direct annulment of a paper covenant between the Yin State and the Bottle State, and the process of going south was slightly slowed down by this matter, and now there are rumors that the Daqing Imperial Court intends to convene the princes of the Southern Continent to come to meet the king at the Dragon Festival, and it is to meet their king on the surface, but in fact to discuss the matter of the war between the north and the south, and now the matter of the iron Shura of the Yin Kingdom has surfaced,
The strength of this army and the dragoons can be regarded as equal, and the number is even more than that of the dragoons, if there is no help from the princes' armies, the overall combat power of the Yin State is far superior to that of the Qing State. β
Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but ask, "Who are you, why do you know these things?"
With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, Shen Sanqian looked at the young man who was born early and said, "Hehe, I forgot to introduce myself." I am Shen Sanqian, the governor of Guhe City, before I came to this city, I had been a court official in the Daqing court for decades, and the people in the city called me Shen Tai Sui, you are a friend of Her Royal Highness the princess, you can call me Uncle Shen. β
Don't you see that my head is white, and my hair is whiter than your grandfather's? Chu Xuanzhao thought to himself.
Ying Liyang smiled and said, "You two can talk about it, I'll listen first." β
Chu Xianzhao took a sip of the hot tea handed by the maid, the fragrance of the tea was refreshing, and he smiled: "Why do you want to help us? What benefits do you want from us?"
Shen Sanqian waved his hand slightly to disperse the maids who were making tea, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm glad to see that Her Royal Highness the princess of the Great Qin Dynasty is still alive now, and sitting in front of me drinking tea, which is for an old and fat person like me...... It's kind of a faith, but it's just ...... Well, in short, I will entertain you well, pave the way for the return of the Great Qin Dynasty, and you also need my power and financial resources. Let's have a cup of tea, I don't easily take out this crane top incense to greet guests. β
Since Ying Liyang had been drinking tea and not speaking, the question could only be asked by Chu Xianzhao, and he asked while drinking: "Tell me, why should a Qingguo person care about who will be the emperor in this world in the future? And your current behavior is no different from treason, what benefits can this war speculation bring you, Lord Shen?"
Shen Sanqian showed his excellent teeth and said with a smile: "I am a person who is too old to do many things except waiting for death, I have long been tired of this world full of vanity and treachery, tired of this lifeless Daqing court, I only hope that I can do a big vote in the rest of my days, since the scene in that dream is real, and the person in the dream is sitting in front of me now, what reason can't I imagine the reality of that "revelation". The world is originally the world of Great Qin, let me go and get back her birthright for such a beauty, why not?"
Chu Xianzhao asked cautiously, "Do you ...... too Have you seen the war of the end times?"
The smile on Shen Sanqian's face did not retreat, he propped his hands behind his back, straightened his fat belly, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the battle of the end times is really real, but I did see some things that mortals like me shouldn't see, but the battle of the end times is too far away from now, let's talk about what is about to happen." β
Shen Sanqian pointed out: "The situation between the north and the south is still flat now, but the country of Yinguo is
If you want to go south, it is not realistic to come from the sea of sunrise by boat, then they can only pass through the south road of Shuyue, and they will inevitably bring Yan Mang and Shuyue's army, although they will not immediately call Luoyang City, but the vassal states encountered must be Tang and Liting, Tang Guo's current strength is only 180,000, and there should be 110,000 Liting, the Northern Regions army will have a great chance of winning, I don't know what kind of move Hou Chu will make, otherwise it will really be Chu Xiaohua all the way south to Luoyang City, in this case, the Daqing Dynasty can only summon the princes to come to King Qin to fight against the Northern Regions army, otherwise the people of the Yin Kingdom will really come at that time, far water can't quench the thirst of the near can only wait for death. β
Ying Liyang gently put down the teacup, and said indifferently: "The princes may not be willing to fight for the Daqing Dynasty, Chu Xiaohua is by no means an idle person, the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, we are not without any chance of winning." β
Shen Sanqian said with a smile: "We have a great chance of winning, even if Chu Xiaohua wants to be the king of the world who calms the world, can he do it if he wants to?" And the new emperor Zhao Wentian is just a stupid boy with a bad head, I let the women who the eunuchs gave him make him dizzy, as far as I know, he will not go to the court for a few days a month to deal with state affairs, most of the time is spent in the harem, even if he really gets the army of the princes, he can't fight Chu Xiaohua's old fox, let them fight each other, once Zhao Wentian suffers a defeat, the princes will no longer trust his words and power, suspicion and disagreement will eat away his rule, at the same time, once our banner is raised on the land of the southern land in the name of the King of Salvation, a third force can be formed against themUntil then, you'll need my help. β
Chu Xianzhao asked rhetorically, "Do you really think that you can defeat Chu Xiaohua in this way?"
Although Emperor Yin's actions to him made him very angry, it stands to reason that he should be able to keep his calm, but he is still a Yinguo in his bones, a son of Yinguo who once wanted to take Yin's ** team to step on the southern continent, he wanted to take the army back to Yinguo to think that the man would prove him wrong, but he couldn't bear the other people's victory over his father, Chu Xiaohua had to be defeated by him, and he would defeat him in a dignified and upright manner.
Shen Sanqianpi smiled and said: "What I have here is rooting dough, this one on your face is too ugly, do you want to give you two good-looking ones?"
Chu Xianzhao and Ying Liyang glanced at each other, Ying Liyang nodded slightly, and said softly: "It's okay, he is his own person." β
Chu Xianzhao was silent under Shen Taisui's gaze, and forcefully tore off the rooting skin on his face, revealing a face that had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.
The bloodless face with the magnificent purple pupils had a sense of fairy wind, and the young man spoke: "My name is Chu Xianzhao, and I am the son of the Yin Kingdom in your mouth, but now I am not the son of the Yin Kingdom, but Chu Xianzhao." β
"Very well, you are finally willing to be honest with each other, this is the truth of our Lord of the Apocalypse
Ah, the young man is so good-looking, half as handsome and dashing as I was when I was young. β
Chu Xianzhao was shocked: "You are also a member of the Shadow Moon Sect?"
"Yes, I am one of the elders of the Shadow Moon Sect, and like many members of the Shadow Moon Sect, we have been waiting for your arrival, but we didn't expect that the Lord of the Apocalypse that we have been waiting for for a thousand years is actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Yin Dynasty. β
Chu Xianzhao said: "Your Royal Highness, the heirs to the throne over there in our Northern Regions are all uniformly called the prince, but I am no longer the prince. β
The corners of Shen Sanqian's lips curled slightly, and he slowly unfolded his smile and said softly: "I pay special attention to the news from your Yinguo, if you run away from marriage, don't young children like you believe in love? I would rather turn my back on the expectations of the elders in the family, but also be with the person I like, if I was young, I could meet a beauty like her like you, let alone elopement, even if I was willing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire." β
Chu instantly summoned his lips and said, "My past...... You know what?"
"Of course I know what is going on with men and women. β
Shen Sanqian pointed to the marble pool, and Chu Xianzhao found that in addition to the statue of the Flying Dragon, there was also a beautiful girl standing in the pool.
The girl's long hair is shawl, and her skin is better than snow, which is carved out of jade, and every part of her body is pleasing to the eye.
Shen Sanqian muttered: "Her name is Concubine Chen, when I was your age, I found her in the Qinglou in Luoyang City and bought her and took her home, which made my family disappointed in me, and even thought about letting me get out of the door of the Shen family, but Lao Tzu didn't care about this, and it was nothing to take her to the end of the world." β
"She's gone, isn't she?"
Chu Xianzhao knew that she was dead, otherwise the man in front of him would not have discussed her so affectionately.
