Chapter 371: The Wen Family Has a Daughter, and the Past of the Yue Country
"Lord, this mechanism should be an anagram, but it seems to have no logic at all." Ji Xuan couldn't think of an answer even if he broke his head. It is said that there is always a logic to follow in general anagrams, but this anagram is really a riddle.
It's not just anagrams that are hard to guess, but even the word seems to be very old.
In the past few days, the progress of cracking the mechanism has been very slow, and Fang Xiaoyu stayed in the room and studied the map that the Wind Lord gave her with Ye Xici.
Judging from the map, the map in her hand has nothing to do with the map that Liang Bo arrived. And Liang Bo was lucky to learn that the original ruins on the map were in the location of the Shoujiang's Mansion, which was also the news that he had determined through many inquiries.
The cracking of the mechanism is not what she is good at, but fortunately, he brought a lot of Yuesi's mechanism formation experts to come, and pondered together, but it was not without progress at all.
But early this morning, Ji Xuan came to report, and only the last level was left to crack the mechanism.
It's a seven-link mechanism, but the person who set it up has added some strange questions to each of them.
Liang Bo studied for a long time and cracked the three rings, and it had been nearly ten days since Liang Bo died, and Ji Xuan and the others had to solve the remaining four rings, but they couldn't think of a clue about the puzzle in the last ring.
After Fang Xiaoyu handed over the mechanism of the treasure to Yuesi, she didn't ask much about it herself. These days, the heron is responsible for opening the warehouse and releasing grain, and he is very busy, and Fang Xiaoyu occasionally dresses up to help out when he has time.
Moji arrived three days ago with millions of stones of grain and grass, and when he saw a large amount of grain entering the city, the people in the city cheered and swept away the lifelessness of the past. Even some people took the initiative to help maintain order, and the appearance of Beiyan improved overnight.
The relationship between Shi Situ and Sizhu seems to have warmed up quickly because they were walking together this time, but Sizhu sighed for several days, and his mood did not seem to be bright.
The gap in identity is like a huge gap in front of them, which makes Sizhu completely lose the mood of being arrogant on weekdays.
When Ji Xuan came to Fang Xiaoyu to report with the puzzle of the puzzle, Fang Xiaoyu almost forgot the treasure. In fact, she doesn't care very much, I am fortunate to lose my life, it is a free thing, it is good to be able to get it, and it is not a big deal if I can't get it.
In the final analysis, the treasure is just made up by Liang Bo's own brain, and whether it is a treasure under this mechanism remains to be discussed.
However, when he looked at the handwriting on the riddle, Fang Xiaoyu was stunned, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.
The first to notice Fang Xiaoyu's gaffe was Ye Xici, in his impression, Fang Xiaoyu was rarely stunned in front of others. In front of outsiders, she has to be comfortable at all times, so that no one can find her weaknesses, but at this time, Ji Xuan was in front of her, but she was stunned for a long time and didn't react, and her face was surprised, which made him unconsciously interested in the so-called puzzle.
He took the piece of paper in Fang Xiaoyu's hand, and the handwriting on the paper was rubbed on that organ. The handwriting is very old, and it is not the font that is in circulation today. He was well-read and barely recognized that this script seemed to be the script of the Yue Kingdom seven hundred years ago. It was only after the Yue Kingdom was destroyed by the Chen State that this kind of writing gradually faded out of the historical trajectory. Traces of this script can only be found in some ancient documents, but the information left behind is also very scarce.
He looked closely at the words on the paper, barely able to read the literal content.
The content is very simple, but four words: the Wen family has a daughter.
"Does the Wen family have a daughter?" Ye Xici pondered this sentence carefully, and his brows locked together when he thought about it.
"This is the mystery of the last mechanism?" Ye Xici's heart moved.
Ji Xuan didn't dare to snub his uncle, so he nodded and said, "This word is too simple, I have tried many answers, but they are all incorrect." If you make a few more mistakes, those levels will be destroyed by themselves, and it is difficult to guarantee that the treasure inside will not be damaged. ”
Ji Xuan couldn't think of the answer to this anagram at all. They tried many possibilities, both simplistic and complex, but they were wrong every time.
Ye Xi pondered. This riddle 'Wen family has a woman', the first person to react should be a character. But there are more people with the surname Wen in this world, how can you start guessing?
However, it is not without hints. This Chinese character is a crossover script that has been destroyed for 700 years, and among the crossings 700 years ago, will there be a very famous Wen family person, a daughter?
However, the literature records of the crossing are very scarce, and it is only known that the emperor who crossed over did his own evil and cut off his own country with his own hands, but there are few records of the specific reason.
"Go and find out if there was a woman surnamed Wen seven hundred years ago, she should be famous...... Ye Xici also had a headache. He didn't pay any attention to the news of the crossing, but there were only a few strokes in the history books he saw at the time, so he thought it was strange, so he looked at it twice.
The destruction of the crossing kingdom seems to have all stemmed from a terrible strategist in his enemy nation. This strategist appeared out of thin air, quickly won the trust of Emperor Chen, and in only a few years, he ruined the Yue country. Later, he helped Chen to unify the rest of the small countries and completely dominate the world, because of his outstanding merits, this strategist was named the king of the foreign surname by virtue of this merit, known as the king of Dingbang, which means the state of Dingbang, and also indicates that he is trusted by the emperor in every way.
The history of the Yue Kingdom seems to have been broken in a certain place, and there are not too many records, how prosperous it was, how it declined later, and why the country was ruined in just a few years, there are only a few sentences in the history books.
However, he did not see it, but it does not mean that there will be no existence of wild history. Therefore, he asked Ji Xuan to check, maybe there would be a gain.
Fang Xiaoyu was stunned and didn't say a word. It wasn't until Ye Xici ordered Ji Xuan to find the woman surnamed Wen from the Yue Kingdom that she reacted and asked, "Seven hundred years ago, there was a Yue Kingdom?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu didn't know about this at all. In my previous life, when I had lived enough, I was not interested in anything, so I naturally wouldn't be bored to look up history, I just sat and ate and waited for death every day, and my life was lifeless. Reborn in this life, all her goals are in things closely related to herself, such as Dacheng, Dazhou, and Dayu, although she knows that hundreds of years ago there seems to be a country that unified the country, but this unification lasted less than two hundred years, and then fell apart again. The so-called Great Cheng, Dayu and Dazhou are just countries that were created after the division of the original Chen State, and they have developed step by step to the present day, and they have the current scale.
However, she didn't know that the country that once dominated the country was called Chen Guo. And a certain country that was destroyed before it unified the country was called the Yue Kingdom.
Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding how Fang Xiaoyu's expression could be so complicated and difficult to say, but he still replied: "I have seen it when I unintentionally flipped through the history books, it is said that seven hundred years ago, there were more than a dozen countries, and they were almost the same as today. Yue Guo is considered to be the stronger existence among these more than a dozen countries. But for some reason, in just a few years, it was attacked by Chen Guo, and after that, the country was ruined, and it seemed that no one in the royal family had a good end, and Chen Guo cut the grass and eradicated the roots very thoroughly. ”
"Do you know when the Yue Kingdom perished?" There was a slight tremor in Fang Xiaoyu's tone.
Ye Xici forcibly endured his doubts, thought for a while, and said: "I don't remember this very clearly, but I have some impressions, it seems to have been mentioned in the history books, it is the 524th year of the Yue National Calendar or 525 years, I don't remember it very clearly." ”
"Five hundred and twenty-four years of the Yue National Calendar......" Fang Xiaoyu seemed to be touched by something in his heart, and once again fell into a long silence.
"Your face is not very good, why don't you think about it too much, go and rest first." Ye Xici looked at Fang Xiaoyu worriedly, he had never seen Fang Xiaoyu so out of shape.
However, Fang Xiaoyu didn't mention it, and he didn't want to take the initiative to ask. If she wants to sue him, she will always say it, and if she doesn't want to say it, he doesn't want to force him to ask.
Fang Xiaoyu saw Ye Xici's sad face, his heart warmed, and he only hesitated for a moment, but finally took Ye Xici's hand and said, "Xici, do you remember that I mentioned to you that I had some dreams that seemed to foresee the future?" ”
Ye Xi was stunned for a moment and then nodded, he naturally remembered. He remembered that Fang Xiaoyu said that he died early in the dream, but she married Ye Shucheng in the dream, and then was burned to death in the Second Prince's Mansion by a fire.
At first, he thought it was a little incredible, but combined with what had happened, she seemed to be able to really foresee some of the future, so he didn't believe it.
There are thousands of strange things in the world, but as long as the person in front of him is real, what does it matter if the others are true?
But at this moment, Fang Xiaoyu mentioned this dream to him again, and he had a hunch, and what he heard next might be an even more bizarre story.
Sure enough, Fang Xiaoyu was silent for a while, as if he was combing through the context of the incident and considering how to speak. After the silence, she frowned and looked at Ye Xici and said, "I once had such a dream, in which I was born in a country called Yue Guo, and I was a young lady from a general's family. In my dream, there was no man in my family, and I had to shoulder the mission of this family and become a general. ”
"You in your dreams...... A general? The teacup in Ye Xici's hand spilled some water slightly, as if to express his surprise.
Fang Xiaoyu nodded.
"Went out to fight?" Ye Xici asked again,
Fang Xiaoyu continued to nod.
Ye Xici suddenly realized why he felt that Fang Xiaoyu was unusually calm in the face of war. Even if he has experienced strong winds and waves, even if her martial arts are peerless, but when a person faces war for the first time, he is either excited, nervous, or afraid, which is the most normal reaction. But Fang Xiaoyu didn't have it at all. It's just surprisingly calm, and he has an unusually clear awareness of life and death in war.
"The one in my dreams...... What happened? Ye Xici was also a little curious, wanting to know what happened, but he instinctively felt that what happened after that might not be a good thing, so when he asked, his tone was slightly hesitant.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, she couldn't tell her countless reincarnations, but through the so-called dream, she could let Ye Xici know some of her past.
Fang Xiaoyu was a little depressed, and said: "In my dream, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I never dare to slack off, because someone always talks in front of me that as the daughter of the family, I must shoulder the responsibility of inheriting the family and do my best for the prosperity of the family." Because there are no brothers in the family, but in order to keep the family title, even such a dangerous thing as going to the battlefield has to be carried on his shoulders. In addition, some people in the capital were annoying, so I picked up a silver gun, put on a battle robe, and went to the battlefield for a few years. ”
Ye Xici didn't speak, just listened quietly. Fang Xiaoyu's demeanor can be seen that what happened after that may be a painful memory.
"From the beginning when I went to the battlefield to be looked down upon by those soldiers, to the fact that they were all convinced, it only took me a few years to govern these people subduedly." Fang Xiaoyu laughed as she spoke, and there seemed to be some smugness in her tone, but she quickly sank her face again, and said quietly: "But someone in the family has offended the powerful, and I have some disagreements with the King of Huai. Hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated and annihilated......"
Fang Xiaoyu choked up a little as he spoke. Fortunately, this is in front of Ye Xici, and she is not afraid to show such a weak and ugly side. Her resentment, her anger, overflowed her chest again as her men died one by one.
"I survived the battlefield with the sole purpose of avenging them. The emperor ordered me to return to Beijing with a few gold medals, I knew that I would die, but it was exactly what I wanted. Fang Xiaoyu smiled and shed tears, her only urge to calm down, she had never regretted it.
"You killed King Huai?" Ye Xici had already guessed what kind of action Fang Xiaoyu in the dream would choose to end this monstrous resentment. If it were him, maybe he would have made the same choice.
The tragic death of the 50,000 army this time seemed to have left a knot in his heart that was difficult to untie. Those people, fighting hard, blocked arrows and guns for their so-called masters, paid a qiē for them, but in the end they ended up dying tragically at the hands of their own people. He had personally experienced that kind of resentment, so he could understand the pain of Fang Xiaoyu in the dream.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, as if he was much more relaxed after spitting up: "It's still in front of the emperor." She laughed to herself.
"The result?" Ye Xici was already able to imagine, but he still asked unconsciously.
"As a result...... Fang Xiaoyu smiled, put his palm across his throat, and made a motion to wipe his neck: "I was cut off and hung on the city wall to show the public." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said it easily, but Ye Xici listened sadly.
"What year and month did you remember when you were beheaded in your dream?" Ye Xici asked suddenly.
Fang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the Yue Guo calendar...... Five hundred and eighteen years. (To be continued.) )
