Chapter 257: The Story

In the next two or three days, Tang Guxi and Lin Xun packed all their luggage and took Xie Ling'er to her brother's grave. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because of the snow, so the road is a little difficult to walk, the snow is actually not big, it only fell for two hours that day, or fluttering snow, so there is not much snow on the ground, just a thin layer, and it is easy to slip when you step on it.

Xie Ming died on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it has been ten months since then. It is said that it takes ten months to give birth to a baby, but at this moment, there is a lonely grave covered by fresh snow in front of me, showing sadness and desolation.

After coming back from the tomb, the two went to bid farewell to the eldest princess of Ziyang, and wanted to enter the palace to bid farewell to Princess Xiao and the king, but now that they were without Su Chen and Qi Yu by their side, it seemed that it was not easy to enter the palace casually. After thinking about it, it is better to set off quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

It was the steward of the General's Mansion who saw them off.

The housekeeper's surname is Fu, he is about fifty years old, and he has been working in the General's Mansion for more than 20 years. Whether Qi Zhao was out on an expedition or settled at home, this mansion was always well maintained by him and in an orderly manner. Tang Guxi and the others have lived here for a year, and they are quite familiar with the old housekeeper, but now that the general and the major general are not at home, the matter of escorting the three of her out of the city has fallen on Uncle Fu's head.

Fu Bo was afraid that the escort of others would not be good, so he called a carriage and drove for the three of her personally.

The carriage staggered along the wide road, gradually leaving the city gate, and then heading towards the county border. After leaving the county, go south for about 700 miles, you will reach Suizhou, Suizhou is located in the southernmost part of Liangyu, but it cannot be directly led to Xizhou by land, you have to cross a river to get there.

It takes a day to travel from Xuanyang to the county border, and it can be reached before dark. As for how to go for the remaining seven hundred miles, Fu Bo couldn't think about accompanying them, he could only tell them the most detailed path, and it would be up to them to rely on them to live and travel.

Perhaps it is because there is often such a clear weather after the first snow, when I left Xuanyang City that day, the blue sky was like a wash, the sun was shining, and the gusts of wind were blowing on people's cheeks, making pedestrians feel warm.

Liangyu is a warm country after all.

At the foot of the castle tower, it is estimated that no one has noticed that there is still a carriage parked here. The carriage was covered with brocade sheds, and the tassels adorned the body, shining and gorgeous, if it were not parked in this small corner, it was estimated that whoever passed by would have to stop and watch for three points.

Within dozens of zhang around it, there were several people in civilian clothes walking back and forth, although they were not wearing the clothes of the Imperial Forest Army, but judging from their steps and expressions, it could be seen that they were good and extremely vigilant.

The window of the carriage was opened by a broad and powerful palm, revealing an aging face, his eyes slightly closed, his face tense and silent, his eyes staring vigorously in the direction of the distance on the post road, and at the end of the line of sight, was the carriage of the general's mansion.

He stared for a long time, his eyes with mixed emotions, as if a stone sculpture was motionless.

At this moment, a slightly chubby figure walked slowly behind him, he was also dressed in civilian clothes at the moment, came to the carriage, looked down at the inside, turned his head again, and looked towards the post road with the people inside, until he could not see the shadow of the carriage at all, and then withdrew his head.

"Great, they're far away."

Wan Gonggong's voice was low, quiet and peaceful, although it was a reminder, there was no urging at all.

The king's brow moved, but he still didn't speak.

The father-in-law sighed and looked over there again.

After a long time, the king opened his lips slightly, his lips were a little dry and pale, and a muffled voice came from his throat, "Let's go." ”

With that, he lowered the curtain and let out a sigh and was swept into the car, as if he didn't want to be heard.

The two carriages staggered from outside the tower to the middle of the city, and the speed was steady, and they followed closely without stopping for half a minute. Several plainclothes guards around him also disappeared in an instant......

……

Liangyu is located in the middle of the mainland, adjacent to Qiaojiang in the west, Shengge in the north, Donghuihai in the east, and Xizhou in the south. But even though it is in the middle, the climate is not much different from Shengge, not to mention that Xuanyang is also closer to the north, so I can't see any difference. However, all the way south, the roadside scenery and temperature are bound to vary with the length of the journey.

Xizhou, on the other hand, was originally located on the southeast side of the mainland, but because it recovered the southern kingdom many years ago, its territory became the most extensive among the five countries, and its national strength was also much stronger. The sea area of the East Fur Sea is almost completely under the jurisdiction of Xizhou.

Speaking of the original Battle of Nanxi, it was a war between Xizhou and Nanguo. Why is it called "reconquest", there is a root in it......

It is said that a hundred years ago, this vast territory in the south was actually ruled by one country, with the same clan and clan. But later, for some reason, the princes of the north and south began to fight each other, and they didn't take the king at that time in their eyes at all. With the gradual increase in strength between the two candidates, the royal family was not protected, and finally a piece of land was divided into two, half of which went to the south and half to the west.

After the two countries were in full force, there was no longer any contact, so the country and the people were calm and calm, and the territory that ruled the south was still popular. But a hundred years later, that famine sucked up the essence and blood of the southern country, and the vitality of the southern country was exhausted, and it was impossible to make ends meet, and just when the fire burned the eyebrows, Xizhou took advantage of the danger of people and swept away the southern country.

If it is said that the war between the two countries, the winner is king, it is understandable. But at that time, the people in Xizhou were not very satisfied with the king's approach, because when King Mingde married Princess Qingwan, he promised King Hongxuan of the southern kingdom that during his reign, he would never compete with the southern kingdom for half of the country.

However, just after three years, he raised troops to the south and destroyed the south.

Although the heart of the emperor has always been like this, for the sake of power and interests, what is the credibility of mere words? Beauty and land are both harvested, this is irresistible to any king, he is the most chic person in the world, and who dares to say a word?

The battle of Nanxi made the kings of the four countries look at him with admiration, and because of this, in the past twenty years, Xizhou has been peaceful, and the four countries have bowed their heads, so the tribes scattered in the territory naturally dare not provoke.

Twenty years have passed, and no one can tell what was right and wrong at the beginning, only that the Luo family of the southern royal family has been annihilated, and no one has survived. A small number of officials and courtiers, in order to protect themselves, hurriedly slandered and flattered, and threw themselves into the arms of Xizhou. Only a small number of loyal ministers are old and decrepit, and they return to their hometowns to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and no longer seek government.

Twenty years ago, the bloody storm and wolf smoke are billowing out, and after the passage of time, not many people remember it anymore. In the past 20 years, the people of Xizhou have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the people have become more and more concerned about the war.

Through the car door, after listening to Fu Bo's narration, the three people in the car fell silent and a little stunned.

Although Uncle Fu is in Liangyu, he is so knowledgeable, which is something that the three of them did not expect. Some of the stories that Fang just said had never even been heard of by Lin Xun, so he was fascinated by it, as if he was listening to a story.

Stories, stories, what happened is called "story".

The Lin family's mansion is in Xizhou, but Lin Xun has only lived at home for a few years as a child, and most of the time is on the Red Mountain in Jiuqin, practicing swordsmanship with the disciples of the Lin faction, and following his father for a longer time. The same is true for my sister.

Therefore, I don't know anything about many things in Xizhou, except for hearing a little from my mother's mouth.

But Uncle Fu can know so many things, and the three of her can't help but admire and be impressed.
