Chapter 9: The Battle of the Masters Yu Yuan Seal
readx;?“ Monkey business! ”
In the big tent with the charcoal burning, Meng Tian put down the silk book in his hand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info The Imperial General's face didn't feel a trace of worry flashing across his face.
"I don't know what troubles the general has, maybe it can be solved in the next place?"
Li Shiqi, the counselor in the Tiance Mansion of Prince Qin, stood on the side of Meng Tian at this moment, bowed down and said.
Since Meng Tian introduced Li Shiqi into his account, within the Great Wall Legion, none of the decisions should avoid him.
On the one hand, it is naturally because Li Shiqi is the counselor of Prince Qin, and the future war needs to be jointly carried out by Jiuyuan and Yunzhong. On the other hand, Li Shiqi's decision-making on various aspects of important military and political affairs often has unique views.
Meng Tian thought for a while, and finally said: "Gongzi Fusu knows that the fortifications of our army's various battalions have been attacked by Hun masters, and the progress is slow. So he sent a group of masters to assist our army. ”
Li Shiqi thought about it slightly, and soon understood. Gongzi Fusu also seems to have a desire to win over the Great Wall Army.
It's no wonder that Gongzi Fusu is in the internal army of the empire, except for Chang Wenjun, there are basically no generals on his side.
It's a good thing to have a master come to help. But think about the masters who took refuge under Gongzi Fusu, it turned out that they were all neutrals among the hundred schools of thought, or simply on the side of the anti-Qin alliance.
In the past few years, Gongzi has helped Su or Zhao'an, or let them surrender, intermittently whitewashed the Mo family and other anti-Qin forces in the rivers and lakes, and even got errands for them within the empire.
That's a bit of a disturbance.
Li Shiqi smiled and said, "General, this is a good thing!" ”
"What's so good?" Meng Tian asked,
He really didn't see anything good.
"The Huns are now fleeing, which is a false illusion for a large-scale counteroffensive in the coming year. And on our side, the bait is ready, and all that remains is to let the Huns take the bait. In this case, you might as well let those masters fight with the Huns. The more the drama is performed, the smoother it will be when the Hu people bite the hook. ”
Li Shiqi said indifferently, quite lightly.
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, this guy is worthy of being His Royal Highness the Prince's subordinate! This is to make it clear that the masters under the command of Gongzi Fusu and the Hu people will fight to defeat both!
However, Meng Tian did not object, and said: "In this way, let's do what Mr. said!" ”
……
Tian Yan's health was not good, and when she said goodbye to her son Fusu, she left Xianyang.
Tian Yan did not go all the way with the peasants or people from other sects, but drove an inconspicuous carriage and traveled north with Mei Sanniang.
Horse-drawn carriages run on rough roads, and unlike the flat avenues of Guanzhong, the roads in Hokkaichi County have only been simply bulldozed and repaired, and most of the roads are in a fairly primitive state.
"Ahem!"
The carriage moved forward slowly, because of Tian Yan's body, the coachman did not dare to gallop, and it took a lot of time along the way.
In the huge carriage, thick felt steps were pasted, and the seams of the cars were filled with air leaks. Xiaolan has been taking care of Tian Yan, and the pills are constant.
But that's it, Tian Yan's face is getting worse and worse day by day, and the whole person is sick.
Mei Sanniang saw it in her eyes and didn't feel complaining: "Hall Master, why are you tossing yourself like this?" ”
Not to mention that the road in Beidi County is much more difficult to walk than in Shangdi County, not to mention that there are few cities and counties here, and the medicines and tools that can be provided are even rarer.
Sometimes, they can't stay in bed for days. Of course, Mei Sanniang and the others are all masters and have profound cultivation, and these are nothing.
But Tian Yan is different, he is sick, why bother!
"I must see with my own eyes, what has Prince Qin done over the years?" Tian Yan muttered.
"Prince Qin? This bastard! "Although Mei Sanniang is a woman, her temper is stronger than that of a man. remembered that night, a large number of accompanying masters who went to the wedding banquet with the master of the six halls were exterminated, and among them, there were many friends of Mei Sanniang.
Therefore, Mei Sanniang's impression of Prince Qin has always been very bad. But she was a little strange and asked, "Isn't he demoted?" Hall Master, you have to go to Yunzhong County to see it, why do you want to come to the Northland? ”
"Mei Sanniang, why do you have so many questions!" Xiao Lanjiao scolded. It's true, it's clear that Tian Yan's health is already very poor, and this guy still asks questions like this.
Mei Sanniang touched her head, smiled happily, and said, "Hall Master, I'm sorry." ”
The carriage suddenly stopped, Mei Sanniang opened the door and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
But I saw a farmer's disciple kneeling on the side of the car and handed over a bamboo tube, "Information from Jiuyuan." ”
"Got it." Mei Sanniang stood on the wheel, took the bamboo tube, turned around the car, and handed it to Tian Yan.
The carriage continued to move forward, Tian Yan opened the bamboo tube, took out the silk strip inside, glanced at it, and his face became even paler: "The master sent by Gongzi fought several bloody battles with the Hu people, and suffered heavy losses. However, the Hu people also retreated. ”
Isn't it a good thing that Hu Ren has retired? When everyone looked at Tian Yan, they found that there was no trace of joy on her face.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Xiaolan said softly.
"A few days ago, our spies discovered a small group of Hu people. Hundreds of masters chased all the way north, all the way out of the Taoshan boundary, but they were surrounded and killed by the Xiongnu army that had already been ambushed, and none of them survived. ”
"What!"
Everyone was shocked, in this way, isn't there not much left of the masters sent by Gongzi Fusu to go north?
"After this war, the struggle between the Xiongnu and the empire on the border has also come to an end."
"Then hall master, should we continue to go north?" Xiaolan asked.
"Let's continue north." Tian Yan said very firmly.
……..
The nave of clouds.
Ying Ziyi stood in front of the throne with his hands in his hands.
In the hall, more than a dozen people knelt down. The person at the head is Luo Yijian of the Saibei Luo Sword Sect, these people are all in the land of Yan Zhao, and there are leaders of several major forces in the rivers and lakes.
"This king has called you to tell you something."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please." Luo Yijian bowed and said.
Ying Ziyi glanced at him, this Luo Yijian, his cultivation has reached the realm of top masters. The sect of the Luojian Sect is located in Luliang Mountain, and although his name as a sword in the north is a little inconsistent, his cultivation is real.
"This king has established a new army in the Tiance Mansion,
The name is Xuance. Unlike the Tiance Army, this army intends to select young disciples from your sect to join the army. ”
Everyone looked at each other, did Prince Qin plan to take all the rivers and lakes in the land of Yan Zhao into his hands?
Unlike the Tiance Army, Ying Ziyi intends to build this Xuance Army into an elite scout force, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Tiance Mansion. As its leader, Wei Zhuang has a large number of killers who have undergone militarized training to form the backbone of the Xuan Ce Army, and with the addition of these disciples of the Jianghu sect, the Xuan Ce Army will inevitably take shape as soon as possible.
"I will obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Luo Yijian didn't say anything, and said with his head bowed.
With Luo Yijian taking the lead, the leaders of the rest of the forces also responded one after another.
"Very well, you guys go down!"
After a group of masters walked down, Wei Zhuang walked out from behind the copper pillar on the side of the hall.
"Your Highness, what exactly do you want to do?"
Wei Zhuang's face was flushed with a hint of confusion and asked.
"Skill is to know treachery, and punishment is to stop punishment." Ying Ziyi replied indifferently, but the meaning of the words made Wei Zhuang stunned, and then there was a long silence.
"In the Yin and Yang family in the past, you already know the cause of Han Fei's death! So are you willing to inherit the legacy of the deceased? Ying Ziyi then asked.
"Is this the reason why His Highness established the Xuan Ce Army?" There was a chill in the corners of Wei Zhuang's eyes, but his mouth was curved in a considerable arc, and he said, "Interesting." ”
"Winter goes to spring, and the Hu people are about to enter the prison. Wei Zhuang, you take your Xuance army with your subordinates, leave Cloud City now, hide in the remnants of Yin Mountain, and wait for the army to be ambushed and killed. ”
"Obey orders!" Wei Zhuang arched his hand and said, these three words, he bit very hard.
……..
Shushan.
Shi Lan stood in front of the former walled city, which was now in ruins, deserted and uninhabited.
After a long absence, Shi Lan remembered the memories of the past, and she didn't feel that there were two lines of tears left on her face.
"Shi Lan, is this your hometown?" Xiang Shaoyu stood beside Shi Lan. Over the years, after continuous exercise, at this moment, a fat body turned into a full body of muscles, and the six-pack abdominal muscles flashed with the luster of wisdom. He was wearing a light blue aristocratic brocade robe, revealing a hint of domineering in his heroism.
After Ji Leg Ming was taught a lesson by Gao Yue that day, he returned to the camp, thought about it, and felt that he had not worked hard enough, and he had to practice the Mo family's mental method well. Otherwise, if you marry Yue'er in the future, what will happen if you are bullied by your wife all day long?
Chicken Leg Ming put aside Gao Yue's affairs for the time being, and the three of them began their journey to the west again. But when they followed Shi Lan to the old land of Shushan, they found that there was no one in the local area.
Shi Lan held back tears and rushed into the stockade. Tianming and Shaoyu followed worriedly, but finally found Shi Lan crouching on the wasteland, crying profusely.
Chicken leg Ming glanced at the little fat dun and signaled to go up and comfort him! How can you be cowardly at such a time? What an opportunity!
Little Fat Dun felt right, and walked behind Shi Lan, and was about to put his hand on her shoulder, but the earth suddenly sank.
Little Fat Dun almost thought it was his hallucination, his hand stopped in the air, and he didn't move forward in a daze.
"What just happened?" Chicken Leg Ming moved forward suspiciously and said. At this moment, Chubby Dun retracted his hand.
Shi Lan turned her head, her face was still wet with tears, and she said sadly: "This is Yu Yuan's seal beckoning. ”
"What's that?" Little Fat Dun and Chicken Leg Ming glanced at each other and asked.
"That's an ancient secret that our Shushan guards. Come with me. Shi Lan was entangled in her heart, could it be that the inheritor of King Chiyou that the elder said at the beginning was between these two people?
Shi Lan led the two of them to a separate mountain, turned over a stone, and twisted it slightly. But the whole mountain shook as if it had been subjected to a great force.
The gravel slid down, the lone peak trembled, and in front of the three of them, a pitch-black hole appeared.
"This is the Yu Yuan Seal. Go in! Shi Lan said.
"We?" Ji Leg Ming and Little Fat Dun pointed at themselves with their fingers, "Won't you go in with us?" ”
"I'm a guard of Yu Yuan, so I can't enter inside. There is a sealed magic circle inside, and the heir we have been looking for in Shushan is among the two of you. Shi Lan said solemnly.
"For thousands of years, the duty of our guards in Shushan Yuyuan has been to find a successor and serve him. It's just that now, Yu Yuan's guards are just me and my brother! ”
Shi Lan said, with a hint of loss in her tone.
"I see!" "We'll help you with your duties." ”
"Thank you!" Shi Lan smiled.
Looking at this sweet smile, Little Fat Dun felt that his whole body was about to melt, pulled the chicken leg Ming, and rushed into the hole without saying a word.
"Oops! I didn't say I wanted to be the heir! In the mouth of the cave, the voice of the chicken leg ming's grievances echoed.
Shi Lan smiled and sat on the ground on her knees, waiting for Ji Leg Ming and Xiang Shaoyu.
It's just that it didn't take long for dozens of people with bamboo spears to surround them.
"Who are you? Dare to trespass on the forbidden land of our Shu Mountain! The leader of the people who came shouted and said.
"Uncle Cheng, it's me! I'm Xiaoyu! Seeing the old man of Shushan appear in front of him, Shi Lan's tears didn't feel like they were flowing.
"Xiaoyu?" Everyone looked at each other, and the old man named Ah Cheng suddenly had a light in his eyes, as if he remembered something, and said, "Yes, yes, it's Xiaoyu!" I've seen this girl since I was a child, and there will be no mistakes, she is Xiaoyu. ”
As soon as Ah Cheng said this, the people around him also put down the bamboo spear in their hands one after another, and said in greetings: "Xiao Yu! I haven't seen you for so long, why have you changed so much? ”
Everyone was gossiping, and Shi Lan was surrounded in the middle, unable to interject. In the end, it was the one named Uncle Ah Cheng who separated everyone, "Okay, okay." Xiao Yu has just returned from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let her rest and rest! ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Shi Lan was a little incredible, why did everyone be so respectful to Ying Ziyi? "By the way, where are you now?" Ah, us! Now they have all moved to Jinguan City. Xiaoyu, you don't know! In the years since you left, how much Jinguancheng has changed, and a large number of mountain people in Bashan have moved to Shuzhong. The several cities near Jinguan City are overcrowded, and the walls of each city have expanded several times! Now everyone doesn't call Jinguancheng Jinguancheng as Jinguancheng, it seems to have taken a name from the classics, by the way, what is it called? Uncle Ah Cheng asked a teenager in the back.
"It's Chengdu. One year into Yi, three years into Chengdu. ”
"Moving to Chengdu? Is it Prince Qin who persecuted you? Listening to the chatter of the people of Shushan, Shi Lan asked.
"What does this girl say?" Uncle Ah Cheng looked like you were joking, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a great grace to us!" ”
Shi Lan looked at the smile on the faces of the people of Shushan, and the expression on her face froze, feeling empty in her heart. The people of Shushan were not enslaved by the empire as they imagined. So, what is the hatred that she has held on to for so long!
