Chapter 175: The Fairy of the East China Sea
Drive! Drive!
The whip snapped in his hand, the horse ran briskly, and the carriage behind seemed to be happy with the horse. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the official road leading to Poyang Lake, although the official road is not a few zhang wide road, but it is also solid and smooth. The carriage will not be too bumpy on the road, and there are villages and fields on both sides, and it is pleasant to look at the easy speed all the way.
Because Poyang Lake is garrisoned by the largest naval army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, several official roads around it are mainly responsible for the transportation of materials, and they can naturally become the main roads for transportation in wartime. Usually, because of the smoothness of the official road, many thoughtful people have built their houses on the side of the road, and now it has become the main road for the people to travel.
At the beginning, when the crown prince Hongyi was still King Wu who was here to assassinate the history of Hongzhou, he also vigorously developed the water army of Poyang Lake. Later, because of the well-known dispute between uncle and nephew, Li Jingsui, the emperor's younger brother of Qi, was sent to Hongzhou as the governor of the capital, and the title was changed to King Jin, Taiwei, and Shang Shuling.
The generous imperial brother continued to implement the strategy of the crown prince Hongyi and managed Poyang Lake more impressively. But the good times didn't last long, some people said that the crown prince Hongyi made the emperor unhappy because of his enterprising intentions, and he had the idea of abolishing the throne.
As a result, someone said that the crown prince Hongyi bought off Yuan Congfan in the inner capital and poisoned the drinking water of the imperial brother, which led to the biggest tragedy in the Southern Tang Dynasty in early August last year, and the former imperial brother Li Jingsui was actually poisoned to death.
In any case, Li Jingsui died, some people said that the prince was worried that he would fall out of favor, and some people said that they wanted to usurp the position of the imperial brother, so they drove the imperial brother to Hongzhou. Now because the prince himself has been scolded by the emperor, some people even rumor that the prince Hongyi took the opportunity to kill the emperor's brother.
In this complicated palace battle, the people can only speculate and speculate after tea and dinner, and only the parties concerned know who is right and who is wrong or what happened. However, it is an indisputable fact that both the imperial brother and the crown prince have left political achievements in Poyang Lake.
Now the emperor's brother has returned to the West, and the prince also killed many generals of Wu Yueguo because of the dispute between the two countries because of the dispute between the two countries, and the emperor thinks that the prince is arbitrary, and the death of the emperor's brother is related to the prince outside the palace, and now the prince Hongyi is also detained.
No one knows what the outcome will be, but the people on the ground do. Whether it is the emperor's younger brother or the crown prince Hongyi, they are all the descendants of the Li family of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and some people say that they want the country to become strong, so they strongly recommend the development of the water army of Poyang Lake.
Regardless of the truth, it later turned out that Prince Hongyi's original approach was right, because in the past two years, the Zhou State had attacked several times, and it was because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River and the power of the naval army stationed on the riverside that the Zhou State gave up the southern invasion. And most of these sailors are soldiers trained from Poyang Lake.
Now there are folk legends, the wind legend that the emperor had to reduce the state system of the Tang State because he was suppressed too hard by the Zhou State, and he also passed the book to the Zhou State several times, saying that he would pass on the throne to the crown prince Hongyi. But it is said that Guo Rong, the monarch of Zhou, was very polite, saying that the emperor was merciful and generous, and so on.
slapped a sweet date, and Zhou Guo bluffed the Jinling court like a child. Several previous expeditions occupied the state capital of Jiangbei, but now he has almost not pointed his nose and scolded his grandson. The emperor knew better than anyone else, but he didn't know why he couldn't get angry.
At the beginning, the Southern Tang Kingdom was second only to the Central Plains among the Central Plains countries, and it was the strongest secession country among the southern countries. If you want to say that Emperor Li Jing is not tough, he first conquered the Min State, and then swept all over the Chu land where Ma Chu was in power. The Tang Kingdom is mixed with the southern countries, which is a sign that one side does not fall.
Now it's okay, first when he was coerced by Zhou State, Wu Yueguo took the opportunity to bite on the side and seized one-third of the territory of Fujian by the sea. Although the team led by Prince Hongyi was victorious, more than 10,000 Wu Yue soldiers were killed in Runzhou, and dozens of Wu Yue generals were killed, which greatly traumatized Wu Yueguo's combat strength.
However, immediately after that, the Tang State lost the territory of more than ten states in Jiangbei, and then the emperor personally submitted to the Zhou State, indicating that the level of the Tang State was reduced, and he thought that it was just a feudal town that was divided at the beginning, and even the emperor did not dare to call himself up.
Although who is the emperor has little to do with the people, as a common man and literati in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he still feels humiliated in his heart. But the emperor doesn't care, why are these little people in a hurry!
It is said that the emperor was bent on moving the capital south from Jinling in case Jinling, which was only a river away, would not be safe. This is also very easy to understand, because everyone is used to enjoying glory and wealth, and everyone will be afraid of death and want to live a few more years. It is said that the intention to move south to the capital is justified, and the chosen location is Hongzhou.
The location of Hongzhou is naturally available by land and water, and it is the central location of the Tang Kingdom at the beginning, so it is indeed the best choice from a safety point of view. If this is the final choice, then this Poyang Lake has now become an important military location to protect the capital.
Because the importance of Poyang Lake has been put on the agenda, ships that usually travel from the south to the north are basically not allowed to stay in Poyang Lake. First, it is for the safety of the water army stationed in the lake, and secondly, it is also convenient for management.
However, because the surface of Poyang Lake is too big, even if the navy is constantly patrolling, it is impossible to control them one by one. However, the navy has set up many checkpoints at the mouth of the river, and some unidentified ships cannot pass smoothly.
It is also because of the control of the water army, some normal businesses are active, they have no ghosts in their hearts, as long as they pay the required tax amount when passing the customs, it is safer than in other places, what people did not expect is that it has brought huge business opportunities to operate.
The Southern Tang Dynasty has always been a resort in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also a famous land of fish and rice in the Central Plains, and it has been a place of abundant products since ancient times. Since the occupation of Yang Wu, the area north of Poyang Lake near the sea has been a rich scenic spot, and the annual tribute can be worth most of the entire Tang Kingdom.
This is also the main reason why the Tang State is being eyed by the surrounding countries, if it weren't for the fact that the Tang Kingdom's troops have always occupied the forefront, I am afraid that it would have been eaten up long ago. Since Yang Wu was replaced by the Li family, the emperor vigorously developed the area south of Poyang Lake, trying to drive the economy and stability of the whole country.
In the area near Poyang Lake to the south, Raozhou is half of the nearest state capital, and Raozhou's specialty is tea, which is as important as salt, making the transportation from Raozhou to Poyang Lake very developed.
Sitting on the handle of the carriage was a young man who looked like he had not yet reached the crown, and the young man's voice was crisp, and he waved the leather whip in his hand excitedly, so that the carriage was quickly jubilant on the official road.
The curtain of the carriage was raised, and the carriage could be seen in the carriage behind the boy. The cart was covered with a thick blanket from Persia, which looked like utensils from a wealthy family. The carriage was not large, but it was only three feet wide and narrow, and at this time sat a woman with her eyes closed.
There was nothing else in the carriage, just a futon under the woman, her eyes slightly closed, and there motionless, as if she had fallen asleep.
The carriage was moving fast on the official road, but the woman sat very safely, presumably because of the special nature of the carriage, but the whole thing was relatively stable.
Because this is a rare steel-axed carriage, it is said that this steel-axed carriage was passed down from the Lingnan side, and now there are carriage shops between various states, which are usually rented and sold to the outside world, but the sales and rental price is very expensive.
No matter how expensive it is, as long as it is easy to use and comfortable, then there are still people who are willing to consume it. The advantage of this carriage is that because of the steel axles added to the wheels, the speed of the wheels is uniform. And because there are several sets of shock-absorbing steel plates under the wheel crossbar, the bumps of the carriage are almost gone, which is really a great invention of this era.
Some people say that this kind of steel-axle carriage comes from Lingnan, which was first used by people in the capital of the Southern Han Kingdom in Lingnan, and was later used by merchants with ideas, and gradually spread to all parts of the Central Plains. Because Raozhou occupies the advantage of being relatively close to Lingnan, it is the first state capital of the Southern Tang Kingdom to introduce this style of carriage.
The woman in the carriage sat cross-legged, dressed in an ordinary washed off-white linen dress, and let the young man gallop on his horse. She sat there cross-legged, not feeling the slightest discomfort.
Because it is an official road close to Poyang Lake, although it is an official road, it is inevitable that there will be width and narrowness, and the carriage will move with the changes of the road, constantly moving left and right, up and down, but she does not seem to be affected by anything in the carriage.
Although there are more and more houses on both sides of the official road, there are not too many passers-by on the official road, although occasionally you will see one or two pedestrians hurrying by the roadside, but when you hear the carriage galloping from a distance, you will take the initiative to avoid the side in advance. The boy seemed to see that there was no obstacle, so he excitedly whipped away, making the leather whip crack in the air.
Not far ahead, I was almost to the ferry of Poyang Lake, and I saw that there were more and more pedestrians on the road, and when I saw more pedestrians on the road, the young man's heart was more flamboyant. The whip in his hand became more brittle, but it did not fall on the horse. He seems to cherish the horses that pull the carts, and it can be seen that this is a feeling of pity.
Indeed, in this era of constant war, especially in a non-horse-producing region like the South, if a man can own a horse, he is no less than a rich man.
Of course, in this era without order, if you don't have a certain status and a high status, you don't dare to have a decent good horse. Because horses are not only strategic materials in this era, but also have to worry about horses being requisitioned by the government and warlords at any time.
The boy was dressed in a well-fitting cloth suit, which was clean and refreshing even though it was not luxurious. At first glance, it is not a rich person, let alone a rich family who will drive a horse by himself. Even if a rich man drives a horse, he should dress better than this young man.
However, this teenager is just happy, and his smile is from the heart. From time to time, I looked back at the woman in the carriage, as if I had found a treasure.
Although this horse was not his own before, and it can be said that it is not his now, he feels similar to his own now. For not only does he have the right to use it, but he also watches over the horse every day, because the horse and the chariot were rented to him by the woman in the carriage.
From yesterday to today, this young man followed this woman, although it felt a little inexplicable, and even felt a little impossible, but now everything is still real. Because this young man is Jiulang in front of Xiongshi Village, and this woman is Feng Biwei, who was originally wearing blue.
"There are more and more people in front, you don't have to drive so fast when you're happy, if you hurt others, don't look for me!" Feng Biwei, who had been closing her eyes, suddenly opened her voice, although she had been closing her eyes, she seemed to be able to see everything in front of her.
In fact, she was indeed injured, because the battle with the demon dragon Tian Di, although it was not a life and death hatred, but the alien species was taken away by Tian Di, which still made Feng Biwei unhappy, and when he was an opponent, he inevitably paid eight points of cultivation.
Who knows that Tian Di's madness is not something that everyone can speculate at all, Tian Di, who has not moved for decades, actually did not leave his hand at all, although he has not had an opponent with Feng Biwei for a long time, his strong body and domineering skills are still shocked Feng Biwei's true qi in his body tumbling and damaged.
In addition, when Feng Biwei left Yongzhou City, he didn't have the kung fu to breathe at all. Although as an innate master, the body can naturally merge with the vitality between heaven and earth, but because he found that someone was following him, he had a little mental strength to guard against it.
As a result, after she entered the territory of the Tang Kingdom, she was not in the same state as before, and she knew that if she wanted to fight this opponent, she was afraid that her cultivation would be wasted, and she would even be miserable in the hands of the opponent. In desperation, Feng Biwei only deliberately went around in circles, did not rush back to Jinling directly, and finally pretended to throw himself into the Xinjiang River near Raozhou, intending to repair his body in the Xinjiang River.
Shen Yanran, who had been following, really didn't dare to enter the water to attack, and watched Feng Biwei drift down the river. She knew that she had missed a few moments, and she was more and more afraid to make a move lightly. made Feng Biwei's internal injuries suppressed, and it went naturally in the water.
Feng Biwei didn't dare to enter the turtle breath state to repair, but she successfully lured Shen Yanran to the edge of Xiongshi Village, because she knew Shen Yanran's private secret at the beginning, and knew that this was the most taboo place for her.
Of course, Feng Biwei's own miscalculation was that he originally wanted to use the cause and effect of the water flow to restore the Yuantong of his natural way, but in the end he was accidentally rescued by Uncle Shi's kindness. Feng Biwei made a mistake and lay on the boat on the river to wait, just to see if Shen Yanran, who was seriously suspicious, dared to make a move.
Of course, Feng Biwei also prepared the strongest blow, although this momentum caused Feng Biwei's recovery to slow down, but it strongly suppressed the opponent's presumptuousness. Sure enough, Shen Yanran, who was very suspicious, not only did not make a move, but also waited on the shore, not knowing that she was led to the vicinity of Longhu Mountain by Feng Biwei.
Shen Yanran did something back then, which caused the person who loved her deeply to hate, and since then the person has warned her not to see her appear in front of her in this life, otherwise she will definitely take action to get justice that day. Shen Yanran believed that he would do this, because he had been wandering for more than twenty years for himself.
Knowing that Feng Biwei was a fox and a fake tiger at a critical moment, although Shen Yanran was angry and wanted to go crazy, she knew that even if she won Feng Biwei, it was far from being something that could be done in three or two moves, and it would inevitably lead to that person.
could only watch Feng Biwei escape into Longhu Mountain, Shen Yanran did not leave immediately, because she was calculating the extent of Feng Biwei's injury, and with decades of experience in the rivers and lakes, none of them were so easy to deceive.
If she watched Feng Biwei run away from her sight after entering Xiongshi Village, she would definitely chase and kill all the way to the past recklessly. Because that shows that Feng Biwei is at the end of the road, it is also the best time to intercept and stop Feng Biwei. But Feng Biwei didn't show it, and after entering Longhu Mountain, he became invisible.
Feng Biwei once again boldly concealed Shen Yanran's judgment, and her bold speculation and estimation was the accumulation of countless battles between the two of them over the decades. After seeing Shen Yanran really leave, Feng Biwei appeared again.
Shen Yanran was arrogant, naturally she didn't want to really bring out that person because she wanted to deal with Feng Biwei, she didn't want Feng Biwei to see her jokes, it was even more uncomfortable than killing herself. Feng Biwei estimated Shen Yanran's mentality, and knew that if he returned to Jinling, he would definitely be blocked by Shen Yanran on the road, but for the sake of Bian Hao, Feng Biwei also wanted to go back.
So, Feng Biwei thought of the easiest way to find Xiao Jiulang, the young man who had helped him, and send him back to Jinling City in an ordinary way. Ren is a master like Shen Yanran, how can he imagine that Feng Biwei will put down his body and return like an ordinary person.
When a master reaches a certain level, he will have his own dignity that is difficult to give up, and Shen Yanran likes to speculate on Feng Biwei in her own way. Because Feng Biwei was the Supreme Elder of the Carefree Sect after all, and he was one of the few cultivators in this world.
However, Shen Yanran obviously made a mistake with Feng Biwei's change. If it was changed before Feng Biwei didn't go to Yongzhou City, it was Feng Biwei's own opinion that he would rather be injured and fight with Shen Yanran than go back in this way.
There are thousands of paths of cultivation, and all beings are equal. Feng Biwei saw the deformed xenomorph, which was an example of how much hard work it took to succeed, and in their category, how many lives and deaths had to be experienced to achieve today's transformation. Even so, in the hands of himself and others, he still almost gave in.
The types are different, but Feng Biwei did not have the slightest joy, but thought of herself. In the end, under the hands of the powerful demon dragon, he thought that he was the strongest person in the world, and he was not suppressed like the alien species, and finally watched the demon dragon Tian Di leave with the alien species.
Standing at different heights, he will look at the problem in different ways, not to say that the demon dragon's cultivation surpasses himself, but he is born with strong combat power, where will he be an opponent. This also just illustrates a problem, that is, in this world, the best is not necessarily your own practice, so what else can't you let go?
Feng Biwei's method was very simple, that is, he asked Xiao Jiulang to rent a carriage, and he sat in the carriage himself, making the most ordinary ordinary person. Regardless of whether Shen Yanran will rob the road halfway. It's the best and fastest way to do it. She didn't want to waste any more time, if she didn't recover so quickly, the best way was to break through.
Cultivating to the realm of her and Shen Yanran, it is no longer meaningful to blindly sit and practice, thinking things can no longer be understood by normality, even Feng Biwei herself doesn't know where Shen Yanran will be waiting, but Jinling herself must be back.
Opening his eyes slightly, Feng Biwei's face looked like it had recovered. Since entering the territory of the Southern Tang Kingdom, she has sent a special message to the door master, presumably she has already received her secret letter. Although she can't hold the mentality of relying on her to relieve herself, she is indeed the most outstanding disciple of this generation, if there is her intervention, presumably Shen Yanran will not dare to be presumptuous anymore.
After a night of repairing, Feng Biwei's whole person seemed to be back to normal, but she knew in her heart that the combat power of the madman of the demon dragon was too strong, and she still moved the foundation. If it weren't for the large number of people present at the time, and his old friend Gao Yanghui also took action to solve the siege, I was afraid that if I and the demon dragon fought again, it might be difficult to recover in two or three years.
I haven't seen Gao Yangyi for many years, and it seems that she is half a step better than herself, and before she has time to greet her, everyone parted ways. If there is Gao Yangyi together, where will he be so embarrassed.
Although the injury was forcibly suppressed all the way, Feng Biwei also knew that it was not a problem in normal times, but being followed by Shen Yanran all the way, Feng Biwei knew that this was not a solution at all. After thinking about it for a while, I knew that I couldn't get back to my peak right away, so I thought of a dangerous move.
This trip to Yongzhou City is actually a wish that I have planned for many years, and I didn't expect to really encounter this opportunity. But Qin Zhuang's sudden appearance undoubtedly made Feng Biwei feel hopeful.
Although he did not obtain the xenomorph as he wished, Feng Biwei also collected more than ten drops of xenomorph essence blood. Although I don't know if these will have a miraculous effect, the essence blood of the xenomorph will undoubtedly reflect its lifelong cultivation.
Feng Biwei then made a bold decision, preparing to study these essence blood immediately, and even more boldly absorbed a drop of alien essence blood. Although a drop of xenomorph essence blood seemed to be very small, through the perception and study of this trace of essence blood, although it was not as effective as the holy medicine, Feng Biwei felt that he had a lot more insight into cultivation.
The absorption and perception of essence and blood this night was no less than more than five years of comprehension and cultivation, which was the most surprising feeling in Feng Biwei's heart. Although the effect of essence blood on the healing of the body is not too great, the happiness in Feng Biwei's heart is even more than the recovery of the body.
Because after absorbing the essence blood, the refinement of the essence in the essence blood, Feng Biwei faintly felt that if he absorbed all the essence blood collected around him, he would definitely be able to break through to another realm.
This faintly touchable feeling made Feng Biwei's heart even more agitated.
This young man, Xiao Jiulang, naturally didn't know what Feng Biwei was thinking. may still be intoxicated with what Feng Biwei said to him yesterday, after hearing Feng Biwei's voice, he couldn't help but spit out half of his tongue slightly, and the young man's heart was exposed.
The reins in his hand slowly tightened, and the whip stopped ringing. But he answered honestly: "Good master! ”
It turned out that Feng Biwei saw that this Xiao Jiulang already had the foundation of his inner family cultivation, and when he reached his veins, he actually felt that the meridians in his body were more suitable for his own cultivation, and he said on a whim that he wanted to accept Xiao Jiulang as a disciple, which made Xiao Jiulang surprised.
The carriage slowed down, and gradually you could see the sails fluttering in the distance, which were the sails of the big ships in Poyang Lake.
"Let's stay, you go to the lake and see if you can find a boat to Jinling, whether it's a merchant or a guest, can you understand!" Feng Biwei suddenly spoke up again.
Xiao Jiulang responded simply, then stopped the carriage, jumped off the handlebar, and respectfully faux pas Feng Biwei, and then walked quickly towards the lake. There was still some distance towards the lake, and he walked briskly as he flew, but his heart was very excited.
Seeing Feng Biwei's profound methods, Xiao Jiulang, who had seen the world, did not hesitate, and worshipped this woman who looked similar to himself as a teacher. He knew that he had met a master, although he said that he also had a secret in his heart, but this kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, where would he easily miss it.
"Xiansheng, come here!" Feng Biwei's voice sounded quietly again.
"Uncle Shi is fine!" A pleasant voice sounded beside the carriage, and I saw a beautiful woman dressed in a lake blue palace costume slowly turn to the door of the carriage.
Her long hair is pulled into a simple bun, and the diamond-shaped red flower between her eyebrows is particularly eye-catching! The long eyebrows and sideburns are called charming phoenix eyes, which are intoxicating. The tall Qiong nose is like a hanging gall, and the cherry-like sexy red lips are slightly opened, which makes people can't help but fall in love with her snow-white teeth.
The most surprising thing is that her white and tender skin is exposed, which makes the crispy jade breasts exciting. Because of the strange protrusion, it trembled like a fragrance without wind, which made the deep incense groove even more irrepressible.
This is a peerless stunner, but he doesn't know how to suddenly appear, obviously familiar with Feng Biwei.
