The difficulty of the Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky!

The Millennium Xiongguan Sword Pavilion is located in the mountains of northern Shu, a narrow mountain road runs through it, and is known as the reputation of a husband who can not open the pass. This place is the throat of Shu and Hanzhong, there is an endless stream of business travelers on weekdays, there is no way to enter Shu or go out of Shu, here is the only way.

And today, those business travelers who are ready to pass the customs have been stopped outside, although no one has told them, but these people who have been walking the rivers and lakes all the year round are clear that there must be big people who are ready to pass the customs.

Jiange Pass is in Jiange County and belongs to Zitong County. Originally, Zitong County was under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, and after the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liangzhou was established in Hanzhong, Ba County, Zitong and other places in Yizhou. Since then, the gate of Shuzhong of this Sword Pavilion is no longer under the jurisdiction of Shudi, but by Liangzhou.

The Sword Pavilion Keeper was a middle-aged man in his forties named Ma Yuan, who was a fifth-grade monk. This sword pavilion guard, who was used as a god-like by countless merchants and travelers on weekdays, was dressed up today and led everyone under his command to stand in front of the pass early.

To his right stood an extremely tall and majestic man, who would have been recognized by Gao Ming as the man he had escaped from the palace that day when he had been spotted as the emperor. His name is Li Yang, and his ancestors are from the Badi Danqu Ba people. Originally, his ancestors had lived in the ditch for generations, and when Emperor Wu of Zhou and Shang Zhaolie, who had seized the land of Shu, fought in Hanzhong, his grandfather led more than 600 households to defect to Emperor Wu of Zhou. After the defeat of Emperor Wu of Zhou in the Hanzhong War, these Ba people moved to Lüyang, so they multiplied in Lüyang, and the people of Middle Earth called them Bayi in order to distinguish them from the traditional Di people on the original Lüyang.

As the descendants of the traditional Ba people, they also have a long history of cultivating the truth, and they are extremely good at alchemy. Since his grandfather returned to Emperor Wu of Zhou, he was famous for his bravery, and Emperor Wu of Zhou worshipped him as a general. When it came to his father, he was also an official worshipping Dongqiang hunter. And when he came to Li Yang, his talent for refining the body is rare in the world, and he has been famous in the five states of Yizhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and Liangzhou since he was a child, and he is known as the first person in the Western Earth to refine the body. When Chen Ziyin was a general in Chang'an, he specially invited Li Yang to his mansion to discuss with him, although Li Yang was defeated in the end, but he was highly praised by Chen Ziyin, saying that as long as he continued to practice hard in the future, no one in the world could be his enemy.

The imperial court admired his reputation and hired him by bus repeatedly. Although he was reluctant to leave his homeland, he couldn't stand the bombardment of the people in the state and county, and in the end he couldn't wipe off his feelings, so he went to Shangluo and became a tiger warrior in front of the palace to protect the palace.

After Shen Xiu mutinied and killed Sikong Zhang Hua and Shangshu Ling Pei Wei that day, Li Yang knew that Middle-earth was about to usher in great chaos, so he left a letter of resignation and returned to his hometown alone that night.

It's just that due to the rebellion of Qi Wannian in Xitu last year, the residents who originally lived in Qinzhou, Yongzhou and other places went to Liangzhou, Yizhou and other places that were not affected by the war in order to escape the war. The Ba people, who originally lived in Lüyang, also joined the exile brigade. After Li Yang learned the news, he came here to meet his family.

Because he had been in Beijing for many years, those exiles heard that the imperial court had appointed the new Yizhou assassin, so many people asked him to come to inquire whether the imperial court had a new policy for them. And so he came here.

To the left of Ma Yuan stood a six-rank monk dressed as a scribe in a green brocade robe. This person is not very old, he is handsome, and his face is like a crown of jade, but the arrogance on his face makes people dare not get close. His name is Qiao Deng, and he is the great-grandson of Qiao Zhou, the most famous Confucian in Shu, who is less than twenty years old, and was hired by Zhao Min, the assassin of Yizhou, who had just come to Shu, as his master.

Qiao Deng originally didn't look down on this Yizhou assassin from a poor family who took the road of Shen Xiumen and spent a lot of money to buy, but this person actually didn't hesitate to hire him, he really couldn't shirk it, so he reluctantly became Zhao Min's master. A few days ago, the superintendent came to report that the imperial court recruited Zhao Yu, the assassin of Yizhou, into Beijing as the great Changqiu, and Cui Can, who was appointed as the new governor of the Cui family of Boling, was the new Yizhou assassin.

After learning the news that Cui Can was about to arrive at the Sword Pavilion, more than 1,000 civil and military officials in Yizhou discussed together that they would go to the border area of Yizhou and Liangzhou to meet the newly appointed envoy of Yizhou.

According to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, officials do not cross the line. This Sword Pavilion belongs to Liangzhou, and the officials of Yizhou are not allowed to cross the border to Liangzhou to meet their envoys. Qiao Deng was able to come here because he resigned from the Yizhou Thorn History Master Bo first. With the prestige of his Qiao family in Yizhou, and with his talent as a six-rank monk when he was less than twenty years old, he was jointly recommended by more than a thousand colleagues to come to the Sword Pavilion to welcome Cui Can.

Boling Cui clan, one of the eight most famous wealthy families in the Great Jin Dynasty. Qiao Deng and others have admired the Central Plains since childhood, and at this moment, they thought that they would soon be able to see the Yizhou Thorn History from a wealthy family like the Boling Cui family, and his always arrogant face couldn't help but show fascination.

Ma Yuan is an old man here, so he naturally knows that the person next to him doesn't seem to have any official position now, but he is not allowed to meet the new assassin Shi, and this person will soar into the sky.

The Qiao family in Shu, the reputation in Shu is incomparable. The father and son of the great Confucian Qiao Zhou are both great Confucians, and more than half of the officials and celebrities who came out of Shu have listened to the lectures of the father and son in the Qiao family, and the breadth of contacts is unparalleled.

For this kind of celebrity from a famous family, Ma Yuan entertained him with all his heart, but the other party ignored him and looked disgusted.

But even so, although Ma Yuan was depressed, he was willing to do it. This is the current atmosphere of Dajin, and this is the case with celebrities. Those who do things like Jordon are known as celebrities. Don't bend over for the powerful and power, don't look at the identity of the other party, just see if you can see through the world and the world. What Ma Yuan didn't know was that the more he humbled himself in front of Qiao Deng, the more Qiao Deng looked down on him. Not because of his origin, but because of his vulgarity.

Ma Yuan is just a layman.

He was very hospitable to Jorden, and after much pleading, Jordon reluctantly picked up a brush and wrote a pair of words for him. This made Ma Yuanru a treasure, and after it was dried, he treasured it and collected it, saying that he would hang it at home in the future so that future generations could admire the handwriting of celebrities.

Not to mention that he is a mere Sword Pavilion guard, he is too shou to assassinate the history and even the town general, and he is also a welcome and backward escort for these celebrities, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

It's past July, and it's not as hot as it gets. In the midst of these mountains, gusts of mountain wind are constantly blowing, and people do not feel the heat at all.

Ma Yuan and Qiao Deng just stood there like this, not talking, just looking at the distance of this mountain road.

Finally, at the far corner of this mountain road, a group of figures began to flash. The knight at the head held a golden-yellow gilt scepter in one hand, and at the top of the scepter was inlaid a round white jade ball, and under the ball was a string of beads of different colors. The other knight who followed the knight held a banner with several large characters written on it: Yizhou Thorn Stone. There were even some knights holding evasive banners, and the solemn banner led the way, and in the winding mountain road, the team looked unusually large and long.

"Sword Pavilion Guard Ma Yuan, Yizhou Monk Qiao Deng, and Qinzhou Monk Li Yang greet the envoy Jun!" The two saw the team approaching, and saluted to the ground against the middle-aged man in a green covered car.

"Yizhou monk Qiao Deng?" Cui Can in the car heard the introduction of the two and said with a smile: "Who are you Qiao Guanglu of Shu County (Qiao Zhouguan gave Guanglu doctor)?"

"It's under the great-grandfather. ”

"It turns out that it is really a famous family, no wonder it looks like a talent. Cui Can was overjoyed and said: "Are you the descendant of Qiao Taizhong (Qiao Xi's official gift to Taizhong Doctor), or the descendant of Qiao Zitong (Qiao Deng used to be Zitong Taishou)?"

"Taizhong is my grandfather. ”

"My father was a minister in the same court as Taizhong, and he respected his ancestors very much, and often asked me to worship under his door. Joden, if you don't like it, you can call me Uncle Shi in private. ”

"The elder's life, Deng didn't dare to say anything. Qiao Deng said and shook the ground again, and sang in a clear voice again: "The little nephew Qiao Deng has seen Uncle Cui Shi. ”

"Okay, virtuous nephew, come, Uncle will introduce you to my entourage. Cui Can laughed and walked out of the car, leading Qiao Deng to meet them one by one. Ma Yuan's eyes were hot.

"This is Qianwei Taishou, Wang Zhan from the Jinyang royal family. ”

"I've seen Wang Taishou. ”

"This is my long history. ”

"I've seen Geng Changshi. ”

"This is my Sima Yuchun. ”

"I've seen Yu Sima. ”

"This is my son Cui Ye. ”

"I've seen Brother Cui Shi. ”

Just as Qiao Deng greeted everyone one by one, two girls stepped out of a splendid car at the back of the team and stopped to look at him. The two of them pointed at him while they were still playing and laughing there.

Although Qiao Deng is young, he is already a six-rank monk, and his ears are very sharp. Following the sound and looking up, I saw the two girls not far away, one was as beautiful as the orchid out of the valley, and the other was as gorgeous as a peony with dew, different delicate faces, different beauty.

"One over there is a little girl Cui Wen, and the other is a member of the Jinyang Wang family, called Wang Tianyun. ”

At this moment, Jordon was thrilled.

At this moment, he couldn't help but chant the poem he had learned since childhood:

Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island.

My Fair Lady, Gentleman.

Jagged wattles, left and right,

My Fair Lady, I covet it.
