Chapter 29: Xiangyang
Xiangyang City is located on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Han River. Surrounded by water on three sides, one side is backed by a mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is valued by soldiers of all dynasties.
Standing under the dark and mottled city wall at this time, Yuan Yuan thought in his heart that decades ago, it was here that the hero Guo Jing led the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty to resist the Mongol army for decades. It also enabled the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to shrink into the south of the Yangtze River for decades.
I don't know how many children have long feelings, swords and swords, chivalrous bones, heroic spirit, and thinking about it is really a yearning for people's hearts.
Yuelai Inn, after dinner, opened three more upper rooms, and a group of four people rested early. These three months were deep in the mountains, and it was naturally very hard to learn literature and martial arts.
Leaning against the wooden bed, the field did not feel much sleep, and he was constantly thinking about the future path.
Towards evening, the sky outside had slowly darkened, but it was not normal darkness, but the dense dark clouds.
Bang......!
With this loud bang, it was a thunderstorm night, and the whole world seemed to be made up of dense lightning and this city.
When the blue lightning flashed, the raindrops outside the window could be seen clearly for a moment, and the raindrops seemed to freeze, like strings of crystal hanging densely between heaven and earth. It looks crystal clear, and it seems that you can still hear the sound of Na Ding Ling.
"The power of heaven and earth is so magnificent, I don't know what about the chaos?" Feeling the infinite power of this heaven and earth, Yuan Ye couldn't help but think of what the system had said before that his master had traveled in the chaos, and he didn't know what the situation was.
Knock knock!
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Putting on his coat, Yuan Ye got up and walked over to open the door, only to see two people standing in the doorway.
One of them he knew, the second shopkeeper in front of the inn, had served them for dinner before.
Behind the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, the middle-aged man seemed to be coming from outside, and under the pouring rain, most of his clothes were already wet.
Seeing Yuan Yeyi open the door, the shopkeeper smiled honestly and said: "Guest officer, this is Steward Liu of Liu's Mansion, Steward Liu specially got up to meet the guest officer, and the small one can only bring Steward Liu to invite him, and also invite the guest officer to atone for his sins."
As he spoke, he let his body stand aside, with a bumpy face and a hint of fear.
The middle-aged man swept to the field first, and when he saw his silver-white eyes, Liu Xi's face changed first, and there was a hint of horror.
In an instant, he was happy again, took two steps forward and bowed down and said: "Little Liu Xi to meet the Traceless Son, since the master received the news that the son arrived in Xiangyang, he sent the little one to get up overnight and invite the son to come over for a while, so as to thank the son for saving his life in person." ”
"Childe Without a Trace?" The field was puzzled.
Liu Xi replied: "Enlightened son, the son first got rid of the male and female evil that was rampant in the south of the Yangtze River in the Falling Yang Ling Mansion, and then defeated the Demon Sect Blue Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao. Ying Gongzi is peerless, such as an immortal in the sky, and his swordsmanship is peerless, so everyone in the rivers and lakes praises Gongzi for being transcendent and peerless, and without a trace like an immortal. Self-inflicted son! ”
The corners of his mouth raised, and Yuan Ye smiled silently, he didn't expect that he was actually a famous person!
But in an instant, the smile on his face faded. He thought of the brother and sister again, it wasn't that he was hypocritical, it was just that he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and the two strangers died because of him, but they had too much impact on him at that time.
"Maybe a peck and a drink, it's all heavenly! Your brothers and sisters died at the expense of me, and I almost lost my life because of it, and I have grievances and hatreds, so let's all go with the wind from now on! I just hope that your brothers and sisters will not be so lonely again in the next life. Yuan Ye Lenglen thought.
"Childe, can you pack your luggage and go home with the little one?" Seeing that he seemed to be distracted, Liu Xi asked.
After coming back to his senses, Yuan Ye shook his head slightly, and said, "It's not going to be tonight, you go back to Master Liu, and Yuan Ye will visit you tomorrow." ”
Liu Xi was embarrassed when he heard this, and the master had explained to him before he came, this traceless son was originally a second-generation disciple of Wudang, and a closed disciple of the land immortal Zhang Zhenren.
His own martial arts are the best in the world, especially for Master Liu. Let him be courteous, and he shall not be provoked.
At this time, he heard Yuan Ye say this, and he didn't dare to say anything, but when he thought that he couldn't finish the master's explanation, he would have to scold him again when he went back.
At this time, he was so helpless in his heart, and he was entangled in everything!
Seeing his face change, Yuan Ye immediately understood his thoughts, and then Yuan Ye smiled: "Don't worry! I won't let you go back and be scolded by Master Liu. ”
Immediately, he turned sideways to the shopkeeper and ordered, "Little second brother, please help me prepare paper and pen and send it to the room." ”
The shopkeeper replied: "Wait a minute, the little one will prepare." ”
Immediately, the shopkeeper ran down to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Yuan Ye immediately let Liu Xi into the room and sat down, asking about what had happened near Xiangyang and on the rivers and lakes in the past few months.
Liu Xi's master, Master Liu, was ordered to be Liu Cai, as his name suggests, Liu Cai was the son of a butcher when he was young. But as a teenager, he showed an excellent talent for business.
Sure enough, since the year of his crown, he has abandoned the family butcher to make a living and started business. After decades of development, at this time, the Liu family in Xiangyang was already the home of the wealthy businessmen who dominated Jingxiang and had a semicolon in the Central Plains and Kyushu.
And Liu Cai was the old man in the brocade robe that Yuan Ye had seen on the second floor of the Yuelai Inn in Meteoric City, and Liu Cai happened to inspect the semicolon of Meteoric City that day.
Just because Falling Yang is only one or two days away from Xiangyang, and Falling Yang is only a small city, it is expected that there should be no danger, Liu Cai only brought a dozen or so good guards from the mansion to go, and did not send the masters of the mansion to accompany him.
Who knew that after Yuan Ye went to Lingfu to save people that day, Liu Cai also went home, but he didn't know that the boat was on the Han River, and he happened to meet the tiger's head Jiao.
After that, there is no need to repeat how his dozen or so guards who are not good at fists and feet can resist a third-rate master like Tiger Head Jiao.
The acquaintance that Yuan Ye saw in that dungeon after that was Liu Cai.
After that, the wilderness solved the thieves in the cottage, and Liu Cai and some of the people who were robbed here went down the mountain safely.
When everyone reported their names to each other, Yuan Ye naturally knew that he was the head of the Liu family in Xiangyang, and he also scheduled to visit him soon.
It's just that Yuan Yeyi didn't expect that he didn't find Ouyang Feng's other martial arts cheats in the Sword Demon Relic Valley, but instead found Dugu's swordsmanship and martial arts cheats by mistake.
And they didn't go out of the mountain for three months as soon as they cultivated, and after Liu Cai returned to Xiangyang, he sent his family to guard the gate of Xiangyang City every day, but he didn't know that this wait was three months.
Liu Cai was about to give up, but he didn't expect to hear Jia Ding run back to the mansion this evening to tell him that there was a prince with silver eyes and a dusty temperament and three peers entering the city.
When Liu Cai heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately sent his housekeeper Liu Xi to invite him. As for the lightning and thunder outside, and the pouring rain, he had no scruples.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but Liu Xi grabbed it and personally polished the ink to serve, and Yuan Ye didn't care about him, and began to write on the white paper.
Yuan Ye naturally didn't know how to write calligraphy in his previous life, but a few years ago, he studied and learned calligraphy with his master on Wudang Mountain, but Yuan Ye also practiced a good hand.
Half an hour later, Liu Xi left happily with a stack of thick paper, and Yuan Ye freshened up and returned to bed to rest.
The sky outside still didn't flash with a huge blue lightning, and a rumbling sound came from the clouds, like the low roar of a giant beast.
However, this did not affect the slightest sleepiness of the field, and with the sound of the water rushing through the eaves, the field slowly fell asleep.
With a smile on his lips, he dreamed of the distant man again.
