The autumn breeze is bleak, the Zhihuang Mountain outside the Hengping Mansion in Nanjing is a withered yellow color, the fallen leaves cover every corner of the mountain, and the bare trees make a soft sound under the blowing of the autumn wind, this scenery is decadent and desperate, so that the people in the mountains can't help but feel a sense of decadence and loneliness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, in a pavilion halfway up the mountain, there are two people sitting opposite each other drinking, and the pavilion is surrounded by layers of armor, which shows that the two people in the pavilion are extraordinary!

"Zhi Weng, it's not that you don't know that the students are weak, why do you choose this time to invite students to enjoy the scenery of Zhihuang Mountain?" Shang Xuanli asked with a wry smile, and he shrunk his neck as he spoke, as if he was very afraid of the cold.

The old man opposite Shang Xuanli smiled and said, "Drink more wine and it won't be cold, Xiao Shang, you only know that the mountain is cold this season, but you don't know that the scenery is also the best!" ”

"Okay?!" Shang Xuanli looked around at the bleak and bare mountains and forests around him, and he didn't notice what was so good at all.

The old man obviously saw his puzzlement, he put down his wine glass, stretched out his finger and pointed behind Shang Xuanli and said, "Look there." ”

Shang Xuanli looked back at the old man's fingers for some reason, and found that as far as the eye could see, a wide and boundless river was flowing outside the city of Nanjing at the foot of the mountain, and the sunlight projected on the surface of the river, rendering the entire river into a golden color, looking like a flowing golden light veil, and countless boats with hard sails paraded on it, which looked dreamy and full of harmonious beauty.

"But what a view?" The old man asked with a smile.

Shang Xuanli nodded slowly, his eyes still staring at the big river in the distance: "Zhi Weng really has good eyesight, and the students can't do it!" ”

Hearing this, the old man known as Zhi Weng laughed at himself and said: "Xiao Shang Tanhua, don't joke with the old man, anyone who stays in Nanjing City for ten years can get a general understanding of the good scenery here." ”

Shang Xuanli heard a strong sense of loneliness and resentment from the old man's tone, which was exactly what he wanted, but he would not reveal his true feelings, but just pretended to be impassioned and said: "Zhi Weng doesn't need to be like this, at the moment Xiao thieves are rampant, hijacking the saints, and causing chaos to the court, it is a good time for my generation of righteous men and gentlemen to come forward, and the Qing monarch is a great opportunity to turn the sky to the side. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to re-ascend the phase and dominate the world?! ”

This old man who sat and drank opposite Shang Xuanli was none other than Li Shouzhi, who was currently left behind in Nanjing, this person was originally one of the important ministers of the court, the privy envoy of the head of the official worship of the Western Mansion, and the prime minister of the Eastern Mansion could compete with each other, but because of the failure of the political struggle ten years ago, he was deposed to the Hengping Mansion in Nanjing and stayed in Nanjing, and now it has been ten years.

Li Shouzhi knew that Cen Zheng mentioned by Shang Xuanli was a famous general during the Seventh Dynasty of Seris, because at that time, the Seventh Dynasty was defeated one after another in the continuous war with the beast army, losing a large number of troops and generals, and there were no unscrupulous generals available in the court, so he had to use Cen Zheng, who had already returned to the field, as the commander, at that time, everyone was not optimistic that Cen Zheng could win, but they didn't expect that as soon as he came out, the beast army that had won consecutive battles was defeated and lost, and ran back to the mountains and forests in the north in embarrassment, in order to reward Cen Zheng's exploits, After his victory, the emperor at that time directly conferred the title of prince on him, and also gave the eldest son who accompanied him on the expedition the title of marquis, and this history has since become a good story for the Celestial Empire.

"How can the old man compare with King Cen?" Li Shouzhi smiled bitterly, "Let's take the crusade against Xiao Thief as an example, the old man said two months ago that he was going to raise troops to Qin Wang, but he is still unable to move in Nanjing City, and he wants to train his soldiers, but there is no rule to follow, and the southerners are weak, as soon as they hear that they want to go north to Qin Wang, there will be many deserters in the army, Xiao Shang, although your intentions are good, but the old man has no power to help!" ”

It should be mentioned here that although Buchen revealed his background on the day of the coup, the powerful civil officials of the whole Dongguo all did not recognize him as a descendant of the Tianxia family, and only called him by his previous pseudo surname "Xiao".

The reason why they do this is very simple, compared to the Yun Dynasty that these scholars are loyal to, the world dynasty is too upright, and the scholars and doctors are all proud of themselves as upright men and gentlemen, how can they admit that the dynasty they have served for half their lives is a puppet dynasty that has won the world? Therefore, no matter whether the identity of the descendants of the world's family is true or false, he must and can only be fake!

In the Eastern Kingdom, the power of public opinion in the past 500 years is in the hands of civil officials and doctors, and they have started the propaganda machine, and Buchen has suddenly become a stinky rebel and thief in the eyes of the whole world......

……

Shang Xuanli laughed, waved his hand indifferently, and said to Li Shouzhi: "Zhiweng, isn't it a soldier!" I've found someone for you who can train strong soldiers! ”

"Oh?!" Li Shouzhi was taken aback, and there was a little hope in his eyes, "Where are those people?" ”

"Just outside, I was blocked by your armor warrior." Shang Xuanli said.

"Invite them in!" Li Shouzhi said urgently, and the demeanor of the important minister has disappeared so far.

Shang Xuanli looked at Li Shouzhi, whose hair was snow-white, but he was still thinking about the power of the Beijing Master, and shook his head slightly in his heart, he didn't know how to stop and stop at such an old age, isn't this a disaster for future generations? !

A moment later, several tall Western Continent warriors walked into the pavilion surrounded by a beautiful woman.

"Who is this......?" Li Shouzhi stared at the slightly squinting but charming, plump and tall woman and asked.

"Zhiong, let me introduce you, this is Princess Natalia Abramo of the Principality of Western Continent, and these strong men are her guards."

"Princess, guard?" Li Shouzhi frowned, he was an important minister of the Eastern Kingdom, and the names of those smaller countries in the Western Continent had always been disdainful and unheard, so he didn't know whether this so-called Princess Natalia Abramo was true or false, and he didn't know whether the Duchy of Abramo existed.

"Zhi Weng doesn't have to doubt it, Princess Natalia's identity, I can prove it!" Seeing that Li Shouzhi's expression was a little hesitant, Shang Xuanli hurriedly said: "Student, I am a maritime merchant, my family often goes to the Western Continent to sell goods, I once had the honor to go to the Principality of Abramo, and I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, although it was seven or eight years ago, but the princess's voice and smile students can still remember." ”

"Oh." Li Shouzhi nodded, somewhat relieved.

"Your Highness, I heard Xiao Shang Tanhua say that you can train soldiers?" Li Shouzhi asked Natalia expressionlessly.

Natalia smiled, and said in a polite and sincere tone: "Returning to Li Liu, it is not me who can train soldiers, but my guards, they are all elites who have followed my father in the bloody war with the infidels in the south for decades, and they are all very familiar with the matter of marching, with them training the army for you, it will not be long before you can kill the thief of Buchen Xiao and save your country's Emperor His Majesty!" ”

Natalia is the eastern country of the capital division that arrived two months ago, because she is a weak woman, this long journey has been seriously ill, raised for almost half a year to get better, so it will be so late, but she is also in a hurry, just as soon as she arrived in the capital division ran into the coup d'état of the minister to seize power, originally she was going to take the guards directly to find the revenge of the minister, just at this time she was staying at the house of Shang Chongli, who had dealt with in the early years, after learning about Natalia's hatred of the minister, Shang Chongli, who had already secretly investigated the cause of Zou Yushi's death, agreed to assist her in revenge, and the two hit it off, which led to the current scene.

"Hmm." Li Shouzhi looked at Natalia's guards quietly, and found that these people were indeed martial artists with fierce faces, and many of them still had old wounds on their faces, looking hideous and ugly.

Li Shouzhi has always thought that the literati are the more handsome and literary, and the martial arts are the uglier and stronger, and when he saw that these ugly people could be ghosts in the middle of the night, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, sure enough, they are all battle-hardened warriors! The old man has your help, and the destruction of the thief is just around the corner! Li Liushou laughed heartily.
