Chapter 340: The World Beyond the Forbidden Land of Death
Lin'an, in the vertical arch hall, the woman has just come down from the morning court, and her mood is not very good.
At today's court meeting, the matter that was already set in the vertical arch hall and the central important ministers yesterday was opposed by all the civil and military officials, making it difficult to implement the decree.
Since Zhao Yan rebelled against Liang and established a new country, Lin'an Chaotang has experienced great turmoil.
The post of left minister became vacant with Wang Kun's treason, and was filled by the right minister Ning Que, and the deputy prime minister, the governor Xie Yun, also smoothly went to the next level and served as the right minister.
Originally, Xie Lang, the secretary who was the most qualified to serve as the governor, failed to get affection.
Instead, Zhou Miaoshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, picked up the cheap.
Come to think of it, the empress has a weak heart, if Xie Lang is allowed to serve as the governor, this will be contrary to the original intention, you Chen Jun Shuangbi one serves as the right minister and the other serves as the deputy prime minister, and the two collude, I am afraid that they will cover the sky in the court.
Whether it is the empress or the central officials of the three provinces and six ministries, or even the Privy Council, even if they don't want to see the empress's weak family officials, they don't want to see this situation.
When a family is in power with two princes, it will be difficult to suppress others.
It is said that Xie Lang, who should have become a political counselor, is still stationed in the Ministry of Officials, and this old minister should have a lot of complaints, but no, in fact, since Xie Yun served as the governor, Xie Lang was mentally prepared for this day.
On the day this day came, he saw it very plainly.
Besides, he is not without the possibility of going further, if there is chaos today, the slightest carelessness in political affairs will capsize, if Xie Yun is degraded in the difference pool, then he will undoubtedly go up.
And it is likely to directly bypass Zhou Miaoshu, the governor of the political affairs, and win the right minister.
Of course, the most important point is that the Xie family's Wanxi, who is now known to everyone in the cool world, has won the favor of the Holy Grace in Da Nei, and he was called to the Vertical Arch Hall when he had nothing to do.
The royal family collects books, as long as you want to read them, the empress is not allowed.
What's more, it also allowed Xiaoxiao to follow the Confucian Huangshang to participate in the renewal of "Daozang", so that Xiaoxiao benefited a lot, and now there is such a saying among the official eunuchs of Lin'an: Fengwu Shuangbi shines on the moon willows, and the creek flows the Milky Way in the evening.
Obviously, everyone thinks that the future achievements of the Xie family Wanxi are still above Fengwu Shuangbi Jiang Zhaoyue and Liu Yin.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone had known about the relationship between Xie Wanxi and Li Ruyu for a long time, I am afraid that Xie Lang's mansion would have been trampled by the matchmaker of the central minister of Lin'an.
The matter that the court will argue about today is just a matter agreed between the empress and a group of important ministers, so that Jiang Zhaoyue, who has finally made quite a lot of political achievements in the local government, will return to Lin'an and enter Shangshu Province.
This is the real women's court.
The central bosses of the three provinces and six departments have little opinion on this, and the current situation is not a problem of the women's court, but how to solve the Zhenbei Army and the Western Army.
But the rest of the hundred officials don't care so much.
As for the trouble of the Zhenbei Army and the Western Army, we don't need to worry about it, we will do what you central bosses and empresses say.
Of course, the empress knew what the courtiers were thinking, but she was helpless.
If the ministers of the Daliang court are united, unless they are tyrants, there is really no way to take that group of scholars.
However, after hearing the news from the north, the empress was in a good mood, and smiled at the Xie family Wanxi, who was exchanging small words with Liu Yin on the side: "Do you want to know what your fish has done?" ”
Zhou Xiaoxiao said angrily: "I don't want to." ”
It's not that he lost his temper with the empress, but he complained about Li Ruyu.
Originally, he finally returned to Shouzhou from the north, and he could return to Lin'an to meet each other and be together from then on, but he was going to Kaifeng, and it was not for official business, but for a woman to Kaifeng.
A little happy to have a ghost.
The woman laughed, "Don't blame him, after all, a man must always have blood and spirit, if he is not even willing to help Amu, such a man is worthy of your sincerity?" ”
A little pout, "Not uncommon." ”
The woman was helpless, and said softly: "He was on the shore of Xingyue Lake in Kaifeng, killed Fan Fuzi, this Fan Fuzi is a stranger, and he is an extremely powerful stranger, he once assisted the king of the dead country to succeed in revenge, this Fan Fuzi is also a good businessman, and he was about to enter the household department of the puppet emperor's court, Li Ruyu's killing, but it has a great impact on the pattern of the world." ”
When he asked him to go to the shore of Xingyue Lake to kill a stranger, he never thought that there was no such person at all, but after all, Li Ruyu still killed a god comparable to a saint in Xingyue Lake.
Wealth.
Zhou Xiaoxiao sighed, "What's the impact?" ”
Liu Yin on the side said with a smile: "It has a great impact, if Fan Fuzi enters the office and becomes the head of the household, it is likely that together with Wang Kun, Yue Dan will be completely suppressed and unable to move, so the north is bound to twist into a hemp rope, but Fan Fuzi is dead, Wang Kun does not have such strong help, it is difficult to completely suppress Yue Dan, and the pseudo-court in Kaifeng in the north is still the trend of the game between the two sides." ”
The woman nodded and smiled, "Three parties." ”
In fact, the latest news report shows that the crown prince Zhao Zhen is not as weak and absurd as he shows, and he is extremely forbearing, although he currently has the posture of joining forces with Yue Dan to fight against Xianggong Wang Kun, but after all, there is intrigue between each other.
Xiao Xiao suddenly, as smart as she finally understood the great significance of this, "So, are you planning to fight the rebels of the Northern Expedition?" ”
The woman nodded: "It can't be delayed, after all, your fish has also attracted a saint in Xingyue Bay this time, and it can't give the north any more space to recuperate." ”
Xiao Xiao sighed, "What about Shuzhong?" ”
The woman was silent for a while, "It depends." ”
Regarding Zhao Changyi in Shuzhong, the opinions of the five people in the Spring and Autumn Courtyard are surprisingly unified: Zhao Changyi will be the biggest obstacle to his own indestructibility, and he is very likely to become the final winner in this chaos.
Therefore, he must pacify the north as soon as possible, and then take the western army of Shuzhong by chance.
"When will the troops be dispatched?" Xiao Xiao was a little worried.
The woman groaned, "It's almost there." ”
He said: "Don't worry about your slippery fish, look at the turmoil this time, although I don't know what Yue Dan's purpose is, at least he doesn't want to deal with your fish in the short term, he will come back." ”
Xiao Xiao sighed, and his eyes were a little trance.
Brother Yu, come back soon, I'll be in time for another year or two.
I'm ready to let go.
Xiaoxiao's heart is full of expectations, and the empress has also said to herself that if she treats herself, no matter where Li Ruyu is, she will recall him to Lin'an and marry her.
……
……
Jiankang Mansion, the health prefect Ninghong Mansion is gloomy and bleak.
Due to the turmoil in the Lin'an government and the opposition, Han someone, the former prefect of Jiankang, was transferred to Lin'an, joined the Ministry of Rites, and served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Ning Hong was promoted to the prefect.
No one expected that her daughter Ning Huan would be abducted by Fan Fuzi, and she didn't expect that Ning Huan would die under Li Ruyu's sword with Fan Fuzi on the shore of Xingyue Lake, but now that Kaifeng has become the capital of the Xinliang Emperor, she couldn't even collect her daughter's body.
Fortunately, Ning Hong learned a piece of good news.
Yue Dan is the king of the north after all, no matter what aspect he is, his surname is Yue, and he retains the high style and brightness of the Yue family, besides, he has to give Langya Wang a face, no matter how it declines, it will be Langya Wang after all, after cremating the bodies of Fan Fuzi and Ning Huan, he sent these and two boxes of ashes to Jiankang.
On this day, two urns of ashes were delivered to the house.
Seeing her daughter's ashes, Mrs. Ning, who was born in the Langya Wang family, cried bitterly and fainted.
Ning Hong's eyes were red, he hugged his daughter's ashes and cried bitterly, and then he was furious, and he picked up Fan Fuzi's ashes and was about to throw them to the ground, but the raised hand finally stopped.
Daughter...... It's going to be sad, right?
Ning Hong put down the urn and fell into endless sadness.
A few days later, when the Taoist priest chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, Ning Huan's ashes were buried with Fan Fuzi in the place where the mountains and rivers were beautiful under Zhongshan Mountain, after all, the reputation of the girl who was clear and jade was important.
But after all, Ning Hong and his wife, who cherished their daughter, still generously buried Master Fan hundreds of meters in front of Ning Huan's grave, looking at each other from afar, and they were not alone.
……
……
The yellow sand is all over the sky, although it is autumn, but every day is the scorching sun, you can never see the mountains and forests, the blazing yellow sand is swept by the wind, devouring any life that dares to break into this forbidden land.
The Master didn't know how far he had come.
There is always yellow sand all around, and there is no human being in sight.
Fortunately, the master has great talents, so he doesn't have to worry about supplies.
No matter how barren the desert Gobi is, there will be an oasis, and the partial master has a great magical power of a thousand miles a day, and he can always find the oasis to replenish fresh water, as for food, there are fish in the oasis, and sometimes there are even some small animals, but he is not worried.
The Master did not know how far the end of the land was.
When I first walked into the Forbidden Land of Death, I could occasionally encounter some dry bones, and even when I reached the absolute Forbidden Land of Death, I had seen a few corpses, obviously in this world, in the past, there were people who wanted to go to the end of this desert and explore the new world, but after all, they all died in the desert.
The Master was a little desperate.
Although the Western Regions were sparsely populated, after walking through the desert, there were also prosperous big cities and business travelers.
But in this desert that has been exhausted by itself, it is absolutely impossible for people to exist anymore.
Just when the master and son were about to feel hopeless, a void world suddenly appeared in the distance on the sky: the mountains were towering into the clouds, the lakes were pale blue, the white cranes were peaceful, and the fishing boats were rippling...... Hanging in the sky like a fairyland.
The master was stunned for a moment.
This is...... Mirage?
In the desert, such magical landscapes are most likely to appear.
But I vaguely feel that something is wrong, there seem to be few things in the strange scene, especially the mist that always makes people feel full of divine breath.
The master took a deep breath, and his heart was a little agitated, could it be that at the end of the desert, there was another world?
The Master walked away.
Half a day later, the master stood on the yellow sand, shocked and speechless as he saw the situation in front of him.
What kind of incredible picture is this?
What appeared in front of me was a cliff that suddenly rose from the desert without warning, towering into the sky, with no end in sight, spreading into the distance, as if it were a huge wall, separating the desert from the world behind it.
This cliff is so high that it is shrouded in endless flowing clouds, and it is desperately high.
However, the master is an immortal in the world after all.
In the laughter, the figure rose to the sky like a white crane, straight up to the clouds, during which he borrowed strength on the cliff several times, and finally stood on the top of the cliff, looking at the scene in front of him, the master was shocked again.
The Master condescended and saw a whole new world.
You may not believe it, at the end of the Western Regions, above the world of the Great Cool World, or in the sky, there is another world.
In front of you, there is a lush forest with no end in sight, dark and deep, at the end of the deep forest, from time to time, you can see volcanoes rising from the ground and towering into the sky.
There are still several red soot emitting directly into the green clouds, and the end is extremely spectacular.
Behind the deep forest, there is a vast wilderness, the sky is so wide and fenced, the lakes are like pearls, everywhere is full of mist, and the huge white cranes spread their wings and fly into the clouds......
There is a huge city towering between the mountains and rivers.
The master hesitated, looked back at the endless yellow land under the cliff, should he become a pioneer in exploring the new world, what kind of existence awaits him in such a new world?
The Master was not sure.
After all, the Master is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he will be full of fear of the unknown.
While he was hesitating, a flickering voice came from a distance, and he did not hear it clearly for a while, but the master stared at it, but saw two men and a woman rushing towards him from the edge of the forest.
Somewhat unexpectedly, these people ......
is exactly the same as Da Liang people, almost giving people the illusion of returning to Da Liang.
The three of them, all fifteen or sixteen years old, looked at their dress, as if they were children of the family who came out to travel, and they were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, but they were a little embarrassed at the moment.
The master was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized what they were running away from.
Sure enough, a huge roar that shook the earth came from the forest, and in an instant, countless trees shook, and a huge fierce beast jumped out of the mountain field, and pounced on the three of them with its bloody mouth wide open.
It's a wild boar covered in a fiery red.
The master had never seen such a huge wild boar, its body length was more than a zhang, its huge fangs were as long as a meter, and its eyes were blood-red and pounced on the three people.
The Master pressed his sword and did not move.
But when they saw that the two men and one woman had escaped from the forest, they did not find the master, but stood there and did not flee anymore, but deliberately led the huge boar to the clearing.
All three of them are equipped with long swords, and their expressions are relaxed.
When the wild boar pounced on the three of them in the air, the long sword was unsheathed, and suddenly the cold light shone.
The Master was astonished when he saw it.
This wild boar has rough skin and thick flesh and is invulnerable, but the three of them seem to be fifteen or sixteen years old, but their kendo cultivation is extremely amazing, and they actually have sword qi when they come out of the sword, and the cooperation between them is obviously trained for a long time, just like soldiers and soldiers, echoing each other, and after a battle, the wild boar was easily killed.
Everyone has good kendo strength.
The master was a little surprised, in the new world, three people who meet casually have good kendo cultivation, so how strong should the real powerhouse in this world be?
The master vaguely felt that he seemed to have discovered something unusual.
