Chapter 4 Wu League
Dahan and his party led the way in front, and Wei Ziheng and the two followed behind.
Wei Ziheng, slightly closer to Sun Qi, said softly: "I said big brother, is your sword so fast?" I don't seem to be so fast when I see you making those wooden swords on weekdays, right? Could it be that there is something special about this Qihong? ”
Sun Qi thought for a while and explained: "The first time I came into contact with this kind of good sword, I felt more and more that compared with those ordinary swords, this kind of sword that has been carefully carved is more powerful. Just now, I took advantage of the situation and quickly drew my sword, but the sword body did not leave the scabbard, and between my thoughts, it seemed that the invisible power of the Tao suddenly burst out. This is the first time I've felt this kind of thing in my years of learning swords. ”
Wei Ziheng, after hearing this, his eyes widened: "Could this be the so-called sword qi that Master once called?" Under the impetus of extremely powerful sword intent, a person can cause the superior sword to exude the vitality of all things, and the strength of the sword qi is determined according to the user's innate internal force and essence blood. The sword you just made was clear. I'm afraid only that big man felt your awe-inspiring sword intent. The mind is united, and the internal force bursts out, although I am not that big man, but I have already felt your almost mature sword qi next to me. ”
Sun Qi, bye bye-hand, seemed to be very indifferent and said: "Don't brag too much here, although this kind of thing does exist in the world, it is not easy to use." Just now I just wanted to urge this Qihong to see how powerful it really is? As a sword fetus left by the former sword-forging masters, there must be something unique. ”
Leaving the small mountain forest, the Han and his party passed through several valleys one after another, surrounded by birds and beasts, and when they saw the appearance of this group of people, they immediately retreated a few feet. Entering the valley, the wind suddenly increased, and the sound of leaves was heard on all sides.
Wei Ziheng, carefully observing the surrounding terrain, he thought to himself: As a Vietnamese army, the Wu bandits who are desperately eradicated, will they choose such a place for the nest behind the scenes? Or is it that the person in front of us took us to just one of the small places? Is the identity of the descendant of Changqing enough for us to go to the lair of the Wu bandits.
After thinking for a while, Wei Ziheng suddenly remembered that the middle-aged man he had met in the small inn seemed to be in the area of Gusu, and there were not a few people who cared about Wu State. As far as the distance in front of him is concerned, it seems that the old nest of the Wu bandit is not far from Gusu. This can be reflected from the side, at least the Wu bandits have reinforcements inside Gusu City, if this is not the case, I am afraid that the Vietnamese army would have greatly injured their vitality.
After an hour's journey, Dahan took the two to the Wu bandit's lair.
Dahan stretched out a hand and made the etiquette of the former court of Wu, which made Sun Qi particularly surprised, and Dahan said very respectfully: "Two, please come in, I will guide you the way." ”
Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi were shocked by the scene in front of them, and after passing through several valleys one after another, and then passing through a narrow path, they suddenly opened up in front of them, this is a mountain valley, and the previous valleys are different in that the interior of this area, although it is surrounded by mountains, is extremely flat. It is as if it is a plain that appears out of thin air between the mountains.
Wei Ziheng, who knows geography well, after seeing such a terrain, he couldn't help but say: "This place can really be described as the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the northern mountains are tall and majestic, which can block the cold air in the north, the mountains and ravines in the south can transport the heating of the south, and the surrounding momentum is all reciprocated, the creek in the valley is broken and spread in the form of branches, flowing from south to north, and the terrain does not match, this is called the reverse current, the type of the valley is also, the mountains are different, this is the reverse trend, the sunrise and the east, the sunset and the west, the east terrain is greater than the west, the morning light is greater than the sunset, this is the reverse sun.
Water, mountains, and the sun are all opposites, and this is the opposite place, and the people who must choose this place for the camp know the secrets of geography. If the rebellious person chooses the place of the three rebellies, the rebellion can be accomplished. ”
Dahan, who is still shallow, heard this, and didn't know what it meant, but he knew a little bit about it, and he knew that he was praising them: "This prince doesn't know, this place is the place where the family of the clan of Wu Guo once chose to take refuge in the summer, and then it was used by us, and in front of us is our residence, let's go!" ”
Eyes moved forward, reflecting Wei Ziheng, in front of him, a huge Wu style building complex, looking at the outer edge design seems to be really a big mountain villa, but looking at its internal buildings, it seems to be really an isolated nest of Wu bandits who are-for-tat with the Vietnamese army.
After a short walk, they came to the door of this large mountain villa. There were faint people here who were secretly observing, and Sun Qi said softly: "There are two ancient banyan trees on the left, and one on the side of the boulder west of the camphor tree. There is one in the drawbridge hut, and the people on the right are scattered, all of them are patrol spies. ”
So I once heard that the Wu bandits were powerful, but today I saw their old nest, Wei Ziheng, I still couldn't help but admire, this scale, if the Yue Kingdom knew about it, then it would not send the elite of Yue to exterminate it.
Along the way, the big man often said to the people around him: "This is the descendant of Changqing." These words attracted the people around them to look at Sun Qi and Wei Ziheng with strange eyes.
At this time, a man in gorgeous costumes came, on top of the ordinary clothes, there were even jade pendants that symbolized identity, jade cong, etc., it seemed that this was a person in charge, I saw him slowly stepped forward to do a former Wu court etiquette, and then said: "In Xia Wan Yanzhi, the ancestors of Wu Guo in the past, today I can see the descendants of Changqing Gong, it is really a blessing." ”
"In Xia Sun Qi, as a remnant of the Wu Kingdom, I dare not agree with your approach. Today, at the invitation of this great man, I came here to pay a visit, all the former ministers of the Wu State. Sun Qi explained his intention in advance.
Wan Yanzhi said politely: "It's okay, we didn't force you to bend down to join us." It's just necessary for you to come and visit. The one next to you is. ”
When Sun Qi heard Wan Yanzhi's words, he also understood: "This is my junior brother, and the two of us are here together." ”
Wan Yanzhi then began to praise him with some sets: "This son is magnificent, his face is handsome, and he has a gentleman's demeanor between his conversations. Two, please come in and talk about it slowly after we go inside. ”
Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi nodded in agreement.
After entering the inner courtyard, there are rows of pavilions, according to the distribution of pavilion levels, Wei Ziheng can basically judge that the person named Wan Yanzhi in front of him wants to take himself to this villa, the most core place.
Before coming to the lobby, Wan Yanzhi made a gesture of invitation, and then said, "Let's go in first!" ”
Sun Qi has always been cautious, and in this case, he also maintains a high degree of vigilance, even if these people may be unfavorable to him, he is absolutely sure that he will stand out from the encirclement.
Wei Ziheng seemed more relaxed, he felt that since this group of people would be so warmly invited, there must be a reason, driven by curiosity, he decided to find out, and at the same time to understand what kind of state this notorious Wu bandit was in outside the country.
In the center of the lobby were three people, sitting in a very standard master-servant style. These three people are all elegant in appearance, not like the impression of the mountain bandit boss who is extremely vicious.
The man sitting in the middle hall stood up gracefully and greeted the two guests in front of him: "In Xia Ji's surname, Jian Yong, you can call me Jian Yong, I am the lord of Wu bandits often called by the outside world after the orthodox bloodline of Wu State, but I call my brothers Wu Meng!" ”
Wu Meng!
Wei Ziheng asked with some puzzlement: "Why do you call yourself Wu Meng, do you mean that your sphere of influence is not only here?" In the name of the alliance, there must be a lot of things in my heart! ”
At this time, a tall man next to him stood up straight: "In Xia Ertian, the remnants of the Wu Kingdom, the reason why I can invite the two of you to come here today is because of the recommendation of one person, not the person who brought you here today, but a man in a cloth." According to him, it only takes a few words of dialogue to determine that you will be our friends. ”
Sun Qi has always been tired of some people who think they are smart, and he said angrily: "You are so sure of the words of the clothed guest, aren't you afraid that I will tell you about this place?" ”
At this time, the third person in the lobby also spoke: "My name, Taihe, is also a remnant of the Wu Kingdom, to be honest, if there is no special person to guide you in this place, you can't get out at all." The way you have come is only to enter the path, and the way to come out is to have another place. ”
Wei Ziheng suddenly walked around the lobby very casually at this time, raised his head, looked at the surrounding pillars and beams, and observed the principle of building the foundation: "The sophistication of this building is worthy of being caused by the official family." chose this place to run the Wu League, and he is indeed worthy of being Wu's old minister. Rest assured, since the next two are here, they will naturally not do anything to be sorry for you. Although I am not a person of Wu Yue, I also know Wu Yue's reasoning.
In the past, Goujian, the king of Yue, led 3,000 Yuejia to besiege Gusu City, and after breaking the city, he injured his people and slaughtered all the soldiers, which hurt the principles of heaven and betrayed the benevolence and righteousness of the king of Zhou. It is not surprising that Wu Meng is alive today. ”
When Wan Yanzhi heard this, he was very moved: "It seems that I really invited the right two today, if it weren't for today, the big man outside the door bumped into the two, and I don't know how long it would take to meet the two." What this prince said is very true, since the king of Ping moved eastward, the various princes divided and disputed, and the strong bullied the weak to annex the territory. But after all, it is justified and well-founded, and this is a famous teacher. In the annexed land, the people obeyed, and the king of Yue, who was hypocritically benevolent and righteous, did everything that hurt heaven and reason, and the people of Wu were sad and angry, resisted to the death, united as one, and established the Wu League. ”
Ertian, who ranked second in the seat, said: "This shouldn't be like this, but the cause and effect in the world are connected, Wu is not fake, but Wu Xin is still there." Even though time has passed, Wu Meng still endures. ”
Wei Ziheng smiled secretly, how could anyone say this about himself? Verbally and casually boasting, these people are really serious. However, this is also the case, gathering in this mountain, different from ordinary bandits, this group of people who call themselves Wu League have strong beliefs and cohesion. Presumably, the surrounding people also secretly have sustenance in this group of people.
Wei Ziheng is ready to begin to understand this so-called Wu League in all aspects: "Lord of the Wu League, although you and I meet in Pingshui, we have the intention of seeing each other late. You are older than me, so it's good for me to call you Brother Jian Yong. In the next name, Ziheng, surnamed Wei. ”
Ji Jianyong's expression gradually swelled up with a bit of joy: "Don't hide it from the two, I, Wu League, will entertain some guests every day, either the Wu League branch within a radius of ten miles, or the bandits and robbers around the activities, or the strange people and strange people in ten miles and eight towns, in short, Wu League expands its influence in this way, the real scale of Wu League is larger than the two imagined, not only in the Gusu area, but also in the entire Jiangnan of the Wu League, covering the old land of Wu State, but also part of the Chu State and Qi State, of course, including the territory of Yue State, and the same is true for Huiji. ”
Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi were a little creepy when they heard this, and their strength was all over Jiangnan? This sounds a little incredible, is this magnificent mountain villa in front of you actually the location of the headquarters of the Wu League.
Wei Ziheng began to re-examine the Lord of the Wu League in front of him.
