The Xichuan Empire began thousands of years ago in a great upheaval. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It has been recorded in the history books:

At the beginning, it was just a small empire with dozens of cities, and it was settled in the corner of the place, not daring to participate in the strife of the world, but an opportunity that was not recorded in the annals of history made one of the only few holy places in the world stand behind it, and since then, the Xichuan Empire has sprung up like a divine help, annexing dozens of small countries and unifying all the regions west of the sighing gully in just a few decades, far away from the old eastern empire Sheng Tang.

In the next few hundred years, the Tang Dynasty repeatedly wanted to destroy the only country in the world that could compete with it, but under the barrier of the sighing ravine and the intervention of Buddhism behind the Xichuan Empire, it was ultimately unsuccessful.

In the past few decades, the emperors of the contemporary Xichuan Empire have worked hard, and the national strength of Xichuan has been thriving, which has made the Tang Dynasty dare not attack easily.

The continental poles are thus established.

The Xichuan Empire had a total of 18 provinces, with the imperial capital Shanglin Province of Tianjing as the center, and the other 17 provinces were distributed in the western land surrounded by stars. The governor of a province is the highest official of a province, and the position of the second rank can be regarded as a powerful feudal official. But the Xichuan Empire is different from the Tang Dynasty, there is no kind of dictatorship, in addition to the governor, each province will set up a garrison of the general's mansion and the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard, usually do not interfere in political affairs, but in some special circumstances have a lot of power, one commands the army, one supervises the hundred officials. In short, these three people are the three giants of a province.

Under the eighteen provinces, there are dozens of county governments, each of which is in charge of hundreds of cities, which is the general situation of the Xichuan Empire.

A few months ago, at the end of autumn, His Majesty the Xichuan Empire personally wrote the "Cutting Tang Dynasty", which was spread to the mainland and set off a great war in the world.

A few months have passed, although Xichuan's troops have broken dozens of cities in the Tang Empire, but gradually, they have also encountered desperate resistance from the Tang Empire, plus they are marching in other places, and for a while, the war has also fallen into a prolonged situation.

From time to time, soldiers from the academy rushed to the front line through the sighing ravine, and there were often good news and bad news coming back, in short, war is a time-consuming thing, but the result is not very obvious.

There was war in the world, but except for the territory where the soldiers were desperately fighting, the rest of the place still seemed calm, and perhaps the officials there were a little nervous, but the people were preparing for this cold winter and the coming New Year as usual.

……

Ninghai City, belonging to Ru'an County, Liyang Province, is a small city in the middle of hundreds of cities under the jurisdiction of Ru'an County, with a perennial population of hundreds of thousands, backed by mountains, rich in resources, the city lord is a branch of the Li family in several major families in Ru'an County, a six-grade official, in this city can be regarded as a hand to cover the sky.

Of course, the Xichuan Empire will not allow this to happen, outside the City Lord's Mansion, there will still be the existence of the Military Mansion and the Eagle Wolf Guard, but in Ninghai City, the City Lord has his back to the Li family, so he directly suppressed those two forces and acted alone. This situation is actually very common in a huge empire, but as long as nothing major happens, those adults simply turn a blind eye.

Ninghai City is very large, there are hundreds of thousands of people, roughly divided into the inner city and the outer city, and the vast majority of the city in the world, the closer to the people who live in it, the more luxurious, the inner city is some officials and rich merchants, and the outer city is mostly the people and tourists, although there is no obvious boundary, but it is also distinct, it is the rule left by the city from generation to generation.

Some restaurants, inns, and green buildings are located in the outer city closest to the inner city, where there is a large area, called Pinghai Street, on both sides of the street, full of prosperous places, can be regarded as the most lively business district in the city. As long as it is the New Year's Day, or the Mid-Autumn Dragon Boat Festival and other festivals, countless people will gather there to watch the performances of talented and beautiful people, and enjoy the rare leisure after weekday work.

Ninghai City is rich in resources and convenient transportation, so the business is very developed, especially the Huai River leading to Shanglin Tianjing outside the city has brought indescribable benefits to this city. However, although Ninghai City has the sea in its name, it is located inland, and the reason why it is so named is because thousands of years ago there was still an ocean around here, and there was often sea water tumbling in, so the ancestors named it Ninghai, hoping to keep it peaceful for a while. Thousands of years have passed, after the vicissitudes of the sea, Wang Yang is gone, but the city is getting bigger and bigger, the name of Ninghai has gradually been handed down, and it has been recorded in the history of the city, which can be regarded as a famous ancient city in Xichuan, and often attracts tourists to come here to play and take a souvenir.

At this moment, it is early in the morning, the winter morning is always very late, the time is about to pass, the day is just dawning, because of the rain last night, the streets and alleys in Ninghai City are wet, and because of the cold wind of the winter night and the withered yellow fallen leaves are lying quietly on the ground, with the early people hurriedly stepping over and making a clattering sound.

Because of the recent years, the whole city has a kind of lazy temperament, and the people no longer get up early except for urgent matters, but stay in the house, quietly enjoying rare comfort and leisure under the red fire.

Ninghai City is located in the mainland, far away from the sighing gully, so the war with the Tang Dynasty will not affect it for a while, and the people will only cheer when they hear the good news, and scold the Tang Dynasty when they hear the bad news, and nothing else. And the officials had no intention of promoting any war, and at the end of the year, they were waiting for or planning for the evening party of the Shangyuan Dynasty and the upcoming military performance of the academy, because it would be related to their evaluation, promotion or demotion for a year.

After struggling for a long time, the sun finally slowly came out from behind the dark clouds, sprinkling the light and warmth that had been lost for a long time, and in a small alley in the outer city east of Ninghai City, a young man who had a fever all night finally came to his senses, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thirsty ......"

It was a dilapidated looking house, not a big house, only a small bungalow, and the two rooms were located at the end of this small alley, which seemed a little lonely.

The room on the right was lit by a faint candlelight at the moment, and with a soft cry when the young man woke up, on a yellow wooden table not far from the kang, a young girl frowned slightly, then rubbed her eyes, and woke up from her sleep.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long green silk draped over her shoulders, and a cloth skirt dressed plainly, but her appearance was very beautiful, her blurred eyes turned to look, and saw the morning light passing through the window, and also saw the young man who was trying to stand up, and immediately exclaimed: "Ah?

The young man's face was still a little blurry, and after a few seconds of stunned stunned, he opened his mouth again and said, "Thirsty ......"

The girl understood, and immediately stood up and searched for the kettle in the house.

The room was very small, because the sky was bright, there was still a hint of darkness in the room, a bed, a wooden table, and a cupboard, and there was nothing else in the room, it seemed a little empty, but it was also very tidy, but it was also very easy to find, and after a while, the girl took a glass of water and walked up.

"Come, drink water......"

The young man took it, and quickly sent it to his mouth, and with a few cooping sounds, a glass of water went down his stomach.

"Eh, drink slowly, don't choke!"

With a glass of water drunk, the young man's face gradually became ruddy, before he was sickly, his hair was messy, and he couldn't see anything, but now that the young man is in a better state, he raised his head slightly, and he could see the star-like eyes, although the appearance was not very handsome, but it was very delicate, at least the girl's face immediately flushed after a peek.

The boy coughed lightly a few times, and finally said, "This ...... Where is this?"

"This is Ninghai City!"

"Where is Ninghai City?"

"Ninghai City is Ninghai City, Ninghai City in Liyang Province!"

The girl said a little strangely, for her, the biggest place she has seen in her life for more than ten years is the county town, and in her eyes, Ninghai City is also a very big place, and there should be many people who know it.

The young man muttered a few words silently, and finally found a trace from his already blank memory: "Liyang Province, this is the Xichuan Empire?"

The girl was even more strange: "Of course, this is the Xichuan Empire...... Wait, you're not going to be from the Tang Dynasty, are you?"

"I, I'm not from the Tang Dynasty. ”

Although the young man's face was still confused, he still shook his head like a conditioned reflex when he heard the word Sheng Tang.

The girl also breathed a sigh of relief quickly, and patted her somewhat bulging chest very cutely: "That's good, that's good, as long as it's not from the Tang Dynasty...... Well, then you should be a loose person, it doesn't matter, so when you get well, you will be fine when you go to the city lord's mansion to report!"

The boy was silent, and finally shook his head again: "I can't remember." ”

His mind went blank, as if the past had gone away with that slumber.

"How did I get here?"

When the girl heard this, she immediately said: "Your appearance is a little weird, last night when I came back from selling cloth, I saw you lying on a green leaf floating on the Huai River, at that time I thought something was wrong, but I looked over and found that you were still breathing, so I took you home, and in the middle of the night, you started to burn again, but I was tired to death......

The girl spoke very cutely, and finally rubbed her eyes with obvious dark circles and yawned.

The boy smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you then......"

"It's okay, it's okay, by the way, what's your name, do you remember?"

The girl seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked.

The young man was slightly stunned, and then said, "I don't remember...... But I seem to have some impressions in my memory, Chen Guyu, this may be my name!"
