Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky!

Banan is mountainous, mountain after mountain.

Among the mountains, the Jinjiang River is majestic, like thousands of horses rushing together, winding through the land of Banan, and on the bank of this big river, it is the largest piece of Shu and one of the few vast and fertile plains.

On the plain, a huge castle stands on the banks of the Geumgang River.

It is Geumgang County, one of the four counties of Banan, and the big city in front of it is the county seat of Geumgang County.

Jinjiang County is the most prosperous and rich county among the four counties of Banan, in the forty years when the Longwu Dynasty has not been pacified by the Heavenly Demon Emperor, Jinjiang County is the capital of the Longwu Dynasty, forty years ago, the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court was full of tens of thousands, and the Heavenly Demon Emperor exterminated the last Longwu Dynasty of the Four Heroes of Shenzhou.

In less than ten days, the imperial capital of the Longwu Dynasty, which had been a four-legged Shenzhou, was breached, and after the imperial court destroyed Longwu, the territory of the Longwu Dynasty's homeland was incorporated into the imperial court, and the entire Banan was divided into four counties.

The other three counties are also similar to the plain area where the three larger Shu people gathered, which is the four counties of Banan, which are nominally ancient Chu Shen.

But in fact, really speaking, the fiefdom of Gu Chushen is not only limited to the four plain counties of Shu, but also the vast mountains of Shu between the four counties, as well as hundreds of tribes hidden in the mountains of Banan.

The land of the four counties, if you count the boundless mountains of Banan, his territory is comparable to the land of the ten states, and it can be said that a quarter of the territory of the former Longwu Dynasty is now under his rule.

Longwu Dynasty, before coming to Banan, Gu Chu Shen once consulted the records about this dynasty, Guozuo 12,000 years, it is also a dynasty with a long history, once in a long period of time Shenzhou Imperial Court, Western Chu, Northern Zhao, Longwu Dynasty Four Heroes Compete for Hegemony, and later in the competition for hegemony of the Four Heroes, the Shenzhou Imperial Court gradually rose, and gradually destroyed the other three heroes to unify Shenzhou.

Jinjiang County was once the capital of the Longwu Emperor, the city wall is deep, ten zhang high, three zhang thick, even if the Dao Emperor is strong, it is impossible to destroy such a strong city wall, even if you look at the entire huge imperial court, Jinjiang County is also a rare war fortress.

Since the fall of Longwu forty years ago, the emperors of the Longwu Dynasty have been captured by the imperial army, but in just forty years, a majestic city has been built on the ruins of the wall, which is more prosperous than the imperial capital of the Longwu Dynasty.

Looking at the city in front of him, Gu Chushen's tense face showed a smile, and he ran for more than two months to eat and sleep in the open, and finally arrived at the end of this time.

On the official road two miles away from Jinjiang County, flags fluttered, a group of officials in red and green official uniforms, and many people dressed in luxurious silk and satin waited on the official road, and almost eighty percent of the dignitaries and nobles of the four counties of Banan gathered here.

Upon learning of someone's arrival, the officials and gentry of Banan were waiting here early in the morning.

'It's coming!'" I don't know who called.

A group of people looked up, and a large number of people on the official road slowly came towards Jinjiang City, and gradually came into view.

The leader was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, not very tall, with an ordinary and resolute countenance.

Wearing a purple python robe and an amethyst jade crown, he added three points of luxury.

Behind him, four huge blood-colored wolf guard banners stood up, breathtaking, and the four of the wolf guard army with black sharp armor were in a row like a black dragon winding for several miles, with a uniform pace, with a killing aura, magnificent.

And between the wolf guard army and Gu Chu Shen, there are still some people, the number is not much, there are about fifty or sixty, but the momentum of the formation of only fifty or sixty people is not worse than the wolf guard army in the rear, these fifty or sixty people are all Dao King guards, and even a few people's breath faintly exudes the breath of Dao King Dajing, which is comparable to Lei Ming, the leader of the wolf guard.

The bandits of Montenegro were exterminated, and Gu Chushen and his party passed through the Black Mountain for eight hundred miles unimpeded, and finally arrived at the land of Banan after two days of travel.

Seeing the people waiting in front of him, Gu Chu Shen slowed down, and when he was a few meters away, Gu Chu Shen grabbed the reins of his horse and stopped.

This is, a person at the front of the crowd stepped forward, saw Gu Chu Shen waved his hand and said: "Hou Ye, Xia Guan Jinjiang County Shou Zhen will see Hou Ye." ”

This Zhen Jue is very ordinary, not tall, with a fat figure, probably running in a hurry, a little wheezing.

"Absolutely. Gu Chu muttered the name in his mouth.

Xia Guan led all his colleagues from Banan to greet Hou Ye. Zhen Jue's expression was sincere.

Gu Chu sank off his horse, stepped forward to look at Zhen Jue, and then turned his head to look at the Banan group of officials and a group of squires of the prestigious clan with extraordinary bearing, Gu Chu Shen said softly: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I dare not be ashamed." ”

Whether it is good or not, it is good to say two words in the scene, Gu Chushen looked solemn.

"Hou Ye is sorry for the officials to wait. Zhen Jue hurriedly said, then stretched out his left hand to face the county town behind, and said, "Please ask the Hou Ye to enter the city with the lower officials." ”

Surrounded by Zhen Jue and other officials and magnates, Gu Chu sank into Jinjiang County, and the Wolf Guard army was placed outside Jinjiang County to set up camp, and he only brought a few Dao King masters as guards.

Entered Jinjiang County.

The traffic is bustling and shouting, although it is far from the current imperial court, but along the way, this can be regarded as a prosperous city.

In the end, it was the former capital city of Longwu, and after the war, it did not make this big city fade its color.

Zhen Jue followed Gu Chu Shen closely, and there were several famous Shu landowners who accompanied Gu Chu Shen and talked and laughed, introducing the customs and landforms of Jinjiang County.

As I walked, I came to a large mansion.

The door was open, and there were two columns of seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls standing at the door, all of them with good looks and dressed as maids.

On the plaque, the three big characters of "Shu Houfu" are neatly handwritten and magnificent.

"What is this?" asked Gu Chushen.

Zhen Jue said with a smile, "Knowing that the Hou Ye is coming, the squires of Shu specially bought this mansion for the Hou Ye to settle down,"

"Xiaohou came out of the land of Banan, but he didn't build an inch, how could He De receive such a great gift from Banan's father. Gu Chushen looked guilty, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart

Zhen Jue said: "Just a place to stay, Hou Ye will naturally accept it." ”

"Hou Ye has worked hard all the way, and the lower officials ordered someone to boil hot water, Hou Ye might as well take a bath and rest first, and tonight, all the colleagues in Shu and the squire of Banan set up a banquet in the county guard mansion to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”

After saying that, Zhen Jue retired.

It was dark, and the night had just ended.

Gu Chushen took Lei Ming Cangcang and a team of wolf guards to the county guard's mansion, the county guard's mansion was bright, and the courtyard was full of wine banquets.

Gu Chushen glanced at it, and almost all the Shudi Wenchen generals he had seen during the day were listed, and in addition, there were a lot of fresh faces, all of them were not extraordinary in temperament, they should be the magnates of Banan.

And at the banquet in the innermost north of the banquet, Zhen Jue talked and laughed with a few people sitting at the same table, and when he saw Gu Chushen's arrival, Zhen Jue's eyes lit up,

Gu Chu sat down, and in addition to Zhen Jue, there were seven or eight people in this person.

The two officials are in uniform, and they should also be important ministers of Banan.

There are also three or four middle-aged men, all of whom are imposing, even better than Zhen Jue and the two Banan ministers, this kind of aura can only be cultivated over the years by people who are really in a high position and hold great power.

Zhen Jue said with a smile: "Xiaguan introduced one or two for the Hou Ye, these are several heads of the Banan Wang family, the head of the Zhao family, the head of the Li family, the priceless family master, Banan can have today's prosperity, and several benevolent brothers are really indispensable." ”

"Lord Zhen has an overreputation, and as a Shu person, we should make a modest effort. The head of the Zhao family said.

Gu Chu smiled and said nothing.

Zhen Jue then introduced: "These two colleagues are Banan Humerus, Lord Cheng Mi of Taicang County, and Lord Luo of Jiugu County. ”

"Xiao Hou is polite here," Gu Chu stood up, raised his wine glass and drank it all.

"Master Hou is polite. ”

The people at the banquet said politely.

Gu Chushen's eyes flickered, and he suddenly smiled: "The four counties of Banan, why are there only three of them today, why are they not there." ”

Everyone at the banquet was silent, and there was silence at the banquet for a while, Zhen Jue coughed twice, and said: "Originally, this matter was equal to Hou Ye resting for a few days and then giving Hou Ye, but I didn't think that Hou Ye would ask about such ugly things, and the officials and others did not dare to hide it, Hou Ye didn't know, Minqing County Guard harbored evil intentions, and actually deceived the imperial court, and secretly withheld the eight hundred miles of urgent documents sent to Beijing, and afterwards I was lucky to find out that Yuan Lin thief turned out to be a spy of the barbarians, and the people of the Manchu tribe should be in harmony with the outside, fortunately, Your Majesty is mighty, and it has not caused a catastrophe. ”

Gu Chushen took a shallow sip of the wine glass, and sneered: "What a chaotic thief, where is Yuan Lin now?"

Zhen Jue said in a deep voice: "After Yuan Lin's actions were revealed, Xiaguan and the others immediately sent someone to arrest Yuan Lin, but Yuan Lin not only captured him without restraining his hands but also tried to escape in vain, Xiaguan and the others didn't expect Yuan Lin to hide his cultivation all the time, he was actually a great master of the Dao Emperor." ”

"Ao, the master of the Dao Emperor, what happened then. Gu Chu Shen asked, Shenzhou martial arts are prosperous, it is not uncommon for everyone to practice martial arts, many big names in the imperial court are peerless masters of martial arts, but it is unusual for a mere county guard to be a master of the Dao Emperor.

In the case that most of the emperor's giants can't escape from the world, the Dao Emperor master is basically the backbone of the world, and a Dao Emperor master is a first-class elder even if he is placed in the Great Sect of Immortals and Demons, and his status is extraordinary, far from being comparable to a county and county guard under the rule of the imperial court.

Gu Chu's deep thoughts flowed, the movement of the Dao Emperor's master fighting could not be hidden at all, since Yuan Lin resisted when Yuan Lin was arrested, I am afraid that everyone in a city would be alarmed, Yuan Lin is a strong man who respects the Dao Emperor, and he should not be able to fake.

Later, Yuan Lin desperately fled, so the officials and others were well prepared, and notified the two Dao Emperors stationed in Banan in advance, and the two Dao Emperors fought with Yuan Lin, and finally had a last resort, and the two Dao Emperors killed Yuan Lin. Zhen Jue sighed, it was really earth-shattering to see the three Dao Emperor powerhouses fighting that day, if it weren't for the fact that they had notified the two Dao Emperors in advance, I am afraid that not only would they not be able to catch Yuan Lin, but even none of them would have been able to come back.

Deceiving the court and harboring evil intentions, Gu Chushen's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Lin's death is not a pity. ”

Zhen Jue smiled and echoed: "What Hou Ye said is extremely true, it is not a pity that Yuan Lin died a hateful death, but it is a pity that he failed to wipe out all the people behind Yuan Lin. ”
