In the third year of Ruihe, Xunyang in the middle of spring, the spring is getting stronger, the time is harmonious and clear, and the city is full of fragrance.

Xunyang City, a city whose site has not been moved and whose name has not been changed for 2,300 years, is located in the southeast of the Dayi Empire.

Left neighbor Yuzhang, Shucheng, right Amber River, more perched phoenix crossing through the city, the river network is vertical and horizontal, the soil is fertile, and the ancient times are rich and comfortable.

Not to mention that Xunyang City is a very special place in Dayi since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The next year inherited the 100-year curfew of the Zhou Dynasty, more than 100 cities in Dongzhou, prosperous and noisy, and there was a corner of peace, but only Xunyang had no curfew.

The curfew was in place in Dongzhou since ancient times, and the Zhou Dynasty even included the curfew in the laws of the Great Zhou, which was punished with 30 boards at the light and exiled by the whole clan to the frontier.

Because the Taihang Mountain surrounds Xunyang, and there is a large line of temple incense in the city, it is a well-known comfortable and peaceful place in Dongzhou with the word Xunyang.

The people in Xunyang City are not more mobile than other cities, and most of the scholars, industrialists, and farmers in Xunyang City have been rooted here for generations.

For thousands of years in Dongzhou, the dynasties have changed, and the years have changed, and each city in each country seems to have one or two stories that have survived through legends.

Xunyang is no exception.

There is also a beautiful and long-standing story in Xunyang City, it is rumored that the founding emperor and the first Prince An, Prince Rong, Prince Gong, and Prince Li met and knew each other in Xunyang, and they formed a righteous relationship here.

Later, King An and King Gong married here.

In the story, it was also in this place that the First Emperor defeated the rebel army led by Wu Zicheng in the south.

Since then, Xunyang has been a blessed land, and after ascending the throne, Xunyang has been allowed to sing all night long, so as to show the peace of the prosperous world.

This kind of saying has been widely circulated among the people, hundreds of years, generations, true and false, false and true, after a long time, it has become a story in the book.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

At this moment, in a courtyard in downtown Xunyang, it ushered in its owner for the first time.

"The story is well told," Chang An said softly.

And General Xiu, who had just finished talking about the two or three things between the first Prince An and the princess, seemed very unfinished at the moment.

Xiu Zhao hurried all the way, arranged manpower, and took care of important matters in the army, so he came here to meet Chang'an, and prepared to return to Beijing with her.

The young general was very fond of studying wild history, especially the enmity of the nobles of Wang and Sun, which his father, the Loyal and Brave General, had never known.

When he returned to Nancheng, he was still worried about his identity, and he didn't care about it at all when he came out.

At this time, Xiu Zhao heard the praise from his only audience since childhood, from the customary practice of the county lord of Chang'an, and knew that she was in a good mood.

It was because he was full of interest and was about to start talking about the family in the Li Wangfu, but he didn't want to hear that the housekeeper had something important to ask him to see, which was not very refreshing.

Chang'an opened the letter and handed it to Xiu Zhao on the opposite side after reading the message.

The major general was not very happy to take it, but he did not want to make it more unpleasant for him.

"Rong Jingyan arrived in Xunyang, but he couldn't get rid of his ghost?" Xiu Zhao exclaimed.

Chang'an's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his appearance was pale.

I've heard these three words a little too many times recently, the county lord of Chang'an thought.

"The demeanor in the mouth of the world is peerless, and the princes are unparalleled, and it is rare to become your ghost."

Rare? What is rare, Xiu Zhao didn't ask.

When it comes to Rong Jingqi, he doesn't have any superfluous curiosity.

So the major general continued to tell his story to himself, and enjoyed himself for a long time.

Seeing that Chang'an really didn't react, he had to stop and muttered softly, "It's too coincidental."

Xiu Zhao has never had a good impression of Rong Jingqi, no, it should be said that Xiu Zhao has never had any good impression of the "good boy" in the mouth of his upright general father since he was a child.

When he was a child, the loyal and brave general always never forgot to mention Shen Shizi, who was brilliant in Anwangfu, the eldest son of Zaohui in Liwangfu, or Liu Che in Zhennanhou's mansion, and Bai Zhanshu of the Bai family.

All these things, as long as they belong to someone else, must be good.

Sometimes, even the son of the Li family can get his father's praise of "like a pearl and jade on the side".

Among these many people, especially Rong Shizi, who can fight well in the Rong Palace.

His father simply regarded him as a baby, praising people as if there was nothing in heaven and on earth, and he couldn't wait to be his own father.

If it weren't for the difference in identity, maybe there would be a battle between the General's Mansion and the Rongwang Mansion, and Xiu Zhao, who was young and frivolous, even thought about it so rebelliously.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the young general's youth was almost living in the shadow of Rong Jingqi.

This point is very clear to his young friend, the county lord of Chang'an.

In fact, at that time, in Shengjing City, the words and deeds of the kings and sons were not only measured by the model of the children in the family.

After all, Rong Shizi of King Rong's Mansion and Shen Shizi of King An's Mansion are really too dazzling.

But Xiu Zhao was born in the general's door, and the loyal and brave general was also beaten by the old general, because he believed in the talent under the stick.

Xiu Zhao is his only son, and he has the temperament of a general who has grown up in the army since he was a child.

Basically, when he went out and heard how good other people's children were, he couldn't help but do it anyway when he came home and saw his own son jumping up and down like a monkey.
