"The scenery of troubled times, thousands of miles of ghosts, thousands of miles of cold bones.

Looking inside and outside Kyushu, the beacon smoke is reckless; The whole country is sad!

The soldiers rise from Lingling, gallop across the field, and determine the strength of the world! As the years pass, the sigh is fading away, and the head is dyed with white frost!

The battlefield has suffered many times since ancient times, and countless heroes have been saddened and famous!

I hope that the hearts of the people will gather and form a divine sword; Virtuous ministers are attached, upright court!

In charge of the country, prosperous culture and martial arts, I am responsible for success or failure! Fight for this world, fight for the ends of the world, and die in vain! ”

Wang Xu stood at the head of Xiangyang City, singing lightly, and the rhythm of the word plate slowly fluttered with the breeze.

"Good poetry!" Suddenly, Zhuge Liang's voice sounded in his ears.

"Huh?" Wang Xu came back to his senses, and then looked back: "Huh? How could Kong Ming come here! ”

Zhuge Liang is a person who loves poetry, so he didn't care about replying, and he was already anxious to ask: "The rhyme of the poem sung by the lord just now is quite wonderful, I don't know what it is called?" ”

"It's just an improvisation, it's not yet named!" Wang Xu shook his head with a smile. "But this is not a poem, this kind of rhyme is also called words, its rhyme is fixed, called the word card, the rhyme word card just sang, called "Qinyuan Spring".

"Good words, good words!" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and praised endlessly. "Why doesn't the lord make a name? As a souvenir! ”

"It's just a cliché, why write it down!" Wang Xu said disappreciatively.

"Huh! This word quite expresses the ambition of the lord, regardless of elegance and vulgarity, it should also be left in the annals of history! Zhuge Liang retorted.

Wang Xu didn't want to argue about these things, so he waved his hand casually: "That's called "Qinyuan Spring. Let's put down the chaos! By the way, why are you here? ”

Only then did Zhuge Liang remember that there was something to discuss. Immediately arched his hand and said, "My lord." Chen and Pang Tong received a reply from Lu Xun today. I am looking for a report. ”

"Oh? What did Lu Xun say? Would he like to come and serve? Wang Xu's eyes lit up and asked.

"According to his reply, Lu Ji was recently recommended by Lu Su and has decided to serve Jiangdong, if he and his relatives serve each side, he will have to weigh some time!" Zhuge Liang said.

"That's going to be hard!" Wang Xu frowned.

Lu Ji is Lu Xun's little uncle, and it is common for relatives to follow one side in this era, just like Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Dan in history. Serving Shu, Wu, and Wei respectively, but after all, if there is no very special reason, most people still want to serve the same force as much as possible.

The two places are so far apart, Wang Xu doesn't have much to do, after thinking about it, he said helplessly: "Then it's better to go to the letter again, try to persuade well, and do your best!" ”

"Shi Yuan has written a letter again and ordered someone to pass it on!" Zhuge Liang nodded. Then he said, "My lord, there is another thing!" ”

"What?"

"It's time to go to Jiaozhou! Now the inner court has stabilized. I'm afraid the time won't be right any longer! ”

"Huh!" Wang Xu smiled, looked back at Zhuge Liang and said, "Don't worry!" Taiwei Guo Jia has already started to prepare for the expedition, at the latest it will be ten days, and he will definitely send troops, and there will only be 80,000 people in Zhao Yun's Blue Dragon Legion, and you and Shiyuan will participate in its military, can you be sure of a complete victory? ”

"Eighty thousand is enough!" Zhuge Liang smiled calmly: "The strength of Jiaozhou is weak, it is not difficult to take, and with a warlike general like General Zhao to lead the troops, the ministers and Shiyuan will definitely be able to assist him, but if Jiangdong knows that we are plotting to Jiaozhou, I am afraid that he will send troops to interfere!" ”

"Hmmm! It's possible! Wang Xu said in agreement. Are you sure you're going to deal with it? ”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, shook the feather fan lightly and said: "If it goes all out to conquer, it will be difficult to succeed, but if not, it is enough to resist!" ”

"If they come with all their might, I will lead the Guards and the Suzaku Legion south!" Wang Xu promised.

"In this case, the lord can rest assured, and the ministers will take Jiaozhou!"

"Okay, then you can go back and prepare for a few days, and if you have any needs, you can let us know at any time!"

"No!" Zhuge Liang responded.

"Your Majesty will retire first!"

"Go ahead!"

After watching Zhuge Liang leave, Wang Xu inspected the city tower several times, and also returned to the palace of the king of Chu with the accompanying dragon and tiger guards.

Although today's Chu Palace is far from being built, it has been simply divided, just like a royal city, but it is not so complicated, and Wang Xu has been streamlined into four major areas.

The former mansion is collectively called the South Palace, and it is also the place where the courtiers' office directors are located, tentatively designated as two halls, three mansions, and nine temples!

Including the main hall used for court discussions, the Kirin Hall! The Xuanzheng Hall where Shangshutai is located! Situ, Taiwei, and Sikong Sanfu! Jiuqing each has a temple!

His former inner palace has been changed to the North Palace, and at his request, only four halls and one garden are set up.

The Yongning Hall for him and the ladies of the harem to live in! He is the director of the office of the diligent palace! An imperial garden for play activities and martial arts training! The Moon Attendant Hall where female officials and palace maids live! The Xuanhu Hall where the spy headquarters and the dragon tiger guard headquarters are located!

In addition, there are two houses, east and west.

The East Palace is the residence of the prince and the princess when they grow up. The West Palace is home to his parents and other generations.

However, more than four-fifths of the site is still in the process of active demolition, and it is only a name, and the layout is still the original general's mansion.

Wang Xu returned to the palace, but before he could catch his breath, a palace maid had already come to report that someone had asked to see him.

"Who is it?"

"Slaves don't know!" The palace maid shook her head, her expression was a little timid: "I just listened to the words of the Praetorian Guard, and the man said that he was an old friend of the king, but he didn't say who it was, he only took out a token and let him show it to the king, so he came in to report to the king." ”

"Friends?" A soft voice came, Xu Shu happened to pass by, and when she saw Wang Xu here, she walked over and happened to hear the conversation between the two.

"Slave and maid see the queen!" The maid hurriedly saluted.

"What about the token he gave you? Show me! Wang Xu frowned and took over.

"No!"

The palace maid carefully took out a piece of jade from her arms, shaped like a small tower, very beautifully carved, and there was a small seal on the front that was almost invisible.

But looking at the moment carefully, Wang Xu and Xu Shu's eyes widened at the same time.

They all recognized this jade pagoda, which was the personal belongings of the Xuanwei Daoist, and they didn't know how many times they had seen it when they were children.

"Master!"

"Master is here!"

The two exclaimed almost at the same time.

Xu Shu's beautiful face showed a rare eagerness. He hurriedly asked, "Do you know what that man looks like?" ”

The palace maid shook her head: "The slave maid didn't see it." But according to the Praetorian Guard. That man has white eyebrows and white beard, a green shirt, and fairy wind bones, like a cultivator! ”

Before he finished speaking, Wang Xu suddenly took Xu Shu's hand and ran away.

"Your Majesty, they are at the West Gate!" The palace maid saw that he was running in the wrong direction and called out loudly.

"Got it. Go ahead! ”

Running through several courtyards, Wang Xu took Xu Shu to run outside the west gate, and suddenly saw a person dressed as a Taoist standing in front of him, with his hands behind his back and his back to the gate at the moment.

After all, he hadn't seen him for many years, and Wang Xu's memory was not very clear, and he stared at his back for a while before he finally determined that this person was his mentor - Xuanwei Dao Chang!

"Master!"

Wang Xu and Xu Shu couldn't hide their excitement in their hearts, and their voices trembled a little.

The body shuddered, then slowly turned. At the moment when their eyes met, Xuanwei Dao Chang showed a kind smile.

"Xu'er, Shu'er! No see for years. You've all grown like this, and time is like an arrow! ”

"Master, you're still so energetic!"

Xu Shu changed her usual graceful bearing, and excitedly stepped forward to hold Xuanwei Daochang's hand, with a little girl's face.

"Huh!" Xuanwei Daoist was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and shook his head again and again: "I'm already old!" ”

"Master, where is the old, this spirit is not much better than a weak-crowned man!" Wang Xu answered with relief.

In fact, Xuanwei Daoist really can't see the old state, I am afraid that it is related to his self-cultivation and profound inner breath.

"It's not old, I'm about to reach my limit!" Daoist Xuan Wei said with an indifferent smile.

"The limit?"

Wang Xu and Xu Shu were stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, Wang Xu asked urgently: "Master, are you joking?" ”

"I didn't lie to you, the teacher recently felt that the deadline was approaching, but he was quite concerned about you, so I came to take a look!"

"How so?" The smile on Xu Shu's face disappeared instantly, and she said in disbelief: "Master, you are in such good health, how can the limit be approaching?" ”

"As a teacher is a cultivator, the inner breath is also strong, as long as he is not dead, there is some residual strength, if it seems to be weak, then I am afraid it is also the time when the teacher will die." Xuanwei Dao Chang smiled.

"But Master looks like he is only sixty or seventy years old, how could he die for no reason?" Wang Xu still said in disbelief.

"Sixty or seventy!" Xuanwei Dao was stunned, and then seemed to think of something, and couldn't stop laughing: "Hahaha...... You don't know the truth, for the teacher is not sixty or seventy years old, for the teacher and student in Yongyuan four years, young heroes, travel all over the world, looking for famous teachers, forty years old across the green forest, few opponents, after the teacher ignited, only then into the mountain to cultivate, devoted to penance for more than 20 years, before calling himself Xuanwei, walking in the world! ”

"Yongyuan four years, what year was that?" Wang Xu was messy, he couldn't remember so many names.

"One hundred and twelve years ago!" Xuanwei Dao Chang said lightly.

"Hiss......"

Wang Xu and Xu Shu gasped.

Now the two of them have nothing to say, and they will live to be one hundred and twelve years old, which is already unimaginable, and if the limit comes, it will be useless.

Seeing that the relationship between the two was low and their faces were sad, Xuanwei couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't be sad, you have no regrets for being a teacher, don't mind life and death!" ”

"Master!" The two of them called, their voices choked.

"Okay, don't look like this, do you come from afar for the teacher, just to be sad with you?"

"Whew!"

Wang Xu took a deep breath, forced himself to smile, nodded and said, "What the master said is good, go, go into the mansion and sit down and talk slowly!" ”

"No, the teacher has seen you, and he is leaving!"

"In such a hurry, why doesn't Master rest for a few days? Let the apprentices do their filial piety, and your apprentices and grandchildren have never seen your old man! Xu Shu hurriedly persuaded.

"No need, there is a fate in the world, and there is no fate with them for teachers!" Daoist Xuanwei shook his head and sighed: "After seeing you today, my wish has been fulfilled, when I go to see my childhood hometown, I will return to the mountain, otherwise I am afraid that the rest of my time will not last so long!" ”

"Master!" Wang Xu only felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and his sadness was unbearable.

The two of them didn't care that there were soldiers in the distance behind them at this moment, and they had to kneel and kowtow on the spot.

Xuanwei Dao's eyes were quick, and he quickly dragged the two of them down: "Xu'er, Shu'er, you two are now kings, and your status is noble, so it is not appropriate to kneel in front of your subordinates!" ”

"Master, we just want to kowtow to you!" Xu Shu choked up and said.

"It's good to have a heart, for the teacher's heart!"

Xuanwei Dao Chang was free and easy, and then smiled: "Fate has ended, it is time to go for the teacher, that jade pagoda is the most precious thing in the life of the teacher, but unfortunately after decades of intensive research, I can't use its mystery, and there will be no time in the future, so I will leave it to you, whether you have a fate with this thing or not, but one day, I believe that your descendants will always find his wonderful use, and I hope to treasure it well, and we must not lose it!" ”

"The apprentice respects the master's order, and he will wear it with him!" Wang Xu said with certainty.

"Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, you guys live well, and you're going to leave for the teacher!"

"Master, at least have a meal before leaving!" Xu Shu said reluctantly.

"No, staying too long will only increase the sadness!" As Xuan Wei said, he resolutely turned around and left, never looking back. "Xu'er, the two most precious treasures I have obtained in my life have been given to you, one is the method of double cultivation, and the other is the jade pagoda, you have to settle it well, don't take it lightly!"

"In vain no!"

Wang Xu's eyes were moist, looking at the back of Xuanwei Dao Chang, the pain was abnormal, it was hard to imagine that after seeing him in a hurry, it was actually goodbye.

Xu Shu couldn't control her feelings anymore, and threw herself into Wang Xu's arms and cried bitterly!

In fact, what they didn't see was that the distant Xuanwei Daoist was also full of tears, chattering to himself: Fate originates and dies, fate comes and goes, what should go will eventually go, our fate is over, for the teacher will go to that distant place outside the world, tell you what, since you will never see each other, why bother to increase sadness, you think I am dead......
