Chapter 137: Yunzhou Chronicle
Yunzhou, Ninghai Plain, since ancient times, there is the name of the south of the Yangtze River, the snow water melted from the Kunlun Mountain, rushing into the four rivers of the Luo River, the Ling River, the Wen River, and the Duan River, interlaced here, forming a network of waters, nourishing this land.
Yunzhou Pastoral Mansion Shangluo built a city on the bank of the Duanhe River, is a standing for thousands of years, raising millions of people of the city, here is also the base camp of Xuanwang Emperor Heng, Xuanwang Emperor Heng according to this, the north resists Yidi, the west rejects the sand bandits, and the south can also compete with the Daqian court for a long and short time, not a lifetime posture, the world is unique.
Moreover, compared to the Qi Emperor Jin befriending the Mo family, the Lingwang Emperor Xian backed his back on the Xianmen, and the Xuanwang Emperor Heng can be said to have suppressed the Quartet by himself, and built Shangluo City to be able to compete with the four capitals of the Great Qian, and the eloquence shown during this period is really admirable.
As the largest commercial center and political center in the north, Shangluo is more magnificent than the southern cities, and there are as many as six layers of inner and outer cities, except for the Xuanwang Palace in the center, and the military and political cardinals in the next circle, which divide the Fang City residence in the city in an orderly manner. The street is due east and west, north and south, and the width can accommodate ten horse-drawn carriages in parallel, which is magnificent.
The identities of pedestrians are diverse, including Huke from the Western Regions with strange and treasured things, grassland herdsmen carrying leather goods, and southern merchants carrying tea and salt...... To name a few, their figures are full of fangs and markets, rubbing shoulders one after another, rendering a prosperous scene.
Anpingfang in the west of the city is one of the most representative places, because of its proximity to Xiaozhongshan, the market is quite lively, and the flow of people is endless. Xiaozhongshan is not a scenic spot, and the reason why it attracts tourists is because it is located on the thousand-year-old temple Ning'an Temple. Ning'an Temple is not a spiritual retreat, otherwise it would have moved to the inner city, and people come here to incense more of a belief, a kind of sustenance.
Ning'an Temple does not have those Buddhist temples that are sought after by dignitaries, but there are many believers in the middle and lower people, so the incense is prosperous. Because it is more close to the people, it has also given birth to many unique noodle stalls and treasure shops with light engraving.
Liu Ji noodle stall is opened at the foot of Xiaozhong Mountain, because of the convenience of many people, it can be regarded as a little famous.
Fang He squatted on the side of the road, holding a sea bowl, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, snorting and eating, as if he didn't realize that a person was already standing behind him.
The person who came with vicissitudes of life but looked young, and he didn't know when he came to Su Han from Lingyou in the northwest.
"You've got a good appetite. Su Han chuckled and took the lead in greeting his old friend.
Fang He didn't feel any difference, first swallowed the pasta in his mouth, and then licked the sauce from the corner of his mouth, and then calmly replied: "Life is not easy in the world, why bother to embarrass your own five internal organs temple." But you, not being your own young master at home, what are you doing in the northwest where the wind and sand are everywhere?"
Su Han smiled: "Recently, I was sitting at home, and on a whim, I calculated a hexagram for you, and found that your five elements lacked me, so I came." ”
"Hey, I've also calculated it for you, you lack virtue in the five elements, and you owe a beating in your life, and you need me to help you live. Fang He first took a sip, and then scolded: "Don't fix these vain, I don't know about your fancy intestines." ”
Su Han snorted, pretending to be serious: "It's true that you're here, you're about to break through, can you do it without me covering you?" Of course, there are other incidental, such as the appearance of the heavenly machine, you have to find a good entry point." Naturally, you won't have a chance to sit at home, so go out for a walk and try your luck. ”
"Heavenly Machine?" Su Han's previous sentence made Fang He's heart warm, but the latter sentence made him frown: "You also believe this?"
"It's always a thought, and besides, I'm not the only one who believes in it, isn't the one on the Sky Peak also convinced of it. Su Han didn't care.
Fang He no longer dwelled on this topic, but said strangely: "You are now the baby egg of the old Xu family, how can you leave?"
Su Han's face was bitter: "It's not that I gave in to my brother, I started with business, but I didn't expect that the old Xu family still had business in the northwest, in order to avoid the entanglement of the old lady, I simply chose this farthest and most partial, and the beautiful name is: exercise from the bottom." ”
The two have been friends for many years, Fang He has long been accustomed to his way of talking, and even has a tendency to be led astray by him, and mocked when he heard the words: "Come to the northwest to do business? ”
Su Han didn't want this old friend who had been cold-mouthed for many years to talk like this, the key was to say it in one sentence, it was very accurate, thinking of his mother Tao's eager eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, and quickly changed the topic: "What can happen in this northwest? ”
Fang Hehe smiled and shook his head: "This mess is precisely with Emperor Xuanwang himself. ”
"Oh?" Su Han didn't expect to hear these gossips, he was really a little interested, and asked: "Emperor Xuanwang Heng is amazingly talented, his martial arts have entered the grandmaster early, and he is only one step away from the final casting alchemy body...... What kind of mess can he have?"
Fang He glanced at Su Han and said in a strange tone: "You said Di Heng so well, didn't you take a fancy to him." Although the old man of Nasao is over forty years old, but he is well maintained, you have some ideas, and you can't blame you. ”
"Ahh......h ”
"It's not that I learned it from you," Fang He complained silently, and then explained: "The main reason is that the Di Heng I know is too different from what you said, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he has no spare eyes, he has always been his boss, the second in the world, and he is by no means a virtuous king." His group of subordinates, including the harem, all have their own ghosts, compete for power and profit with each other, and make the entire Yunzhou smoke miasma, and even his eldest son was sent to Guanzhong Middle School, he doesn't care, how can you say that this Yunzhou is not chaotic. ”
"This is the first time I've heard of it," Su Han touched his chin and thought: "But Diheng has a deep heritage, as long as he can cast a golden body, he can suppress everything, and this Yunzhou can't be messed up." ”
"Hmph", Fang He sneered: "The premise is that he really can, you seem to have forgotten about a person, a person who is covered by Nie Haifeng's light." ”
"Emperor Xi's Yunting," Su Han's eyes lit up.
Fang He bowed his head and said: "Yes, do you think that with the ambition of Emperor Yunting, he will let the Three Kings forces grow? Over the years, he has gradually faded out of people's field of vision with the light of Nie Haifeng, making people almost forget that he is also a peak of a Grandmaster who is on the verge of breaking through, this kind of forbearance is not small." In this way, Emperor Heng of Xuanwang is in danger, and Emperor Heng is the backbone of Yunzhou, Yunzhou can have today all depends on his strength, once he falls, how can Yunzhou not be chaotic. ”
"Well, that makes sense", Su Han also nodded, but the next moment he looked up in surprise and said: "But these things are about me, even if he is really messed up, I pat my ass and leave, it's a big deal to change places to do business." ”
Fang He glanced at him: "I didn't say anything about you, it's just that my Taiyi Shangzong is settled in the northwest, and seeing that the northwest is about to be in chaos, I am restless, and I just pour bitter water on you." ”
Su Han also rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully: "The foundation of your Taiyi Shangzong is in Jiuyuan, the spies in this area of Yunzhou are not big, at most, when the chaos comes, roll up the cover and avoid it for the time being, your family has a big business, will you still care about this loss? ”
Fang He thought about the infighting between the East Sect and the West Sect of the Taiyi Upper Sect over the years, and his voice was hoarse, and he sighed tiredly and said, "Maybe." ”
Su Han glanced at the empty noodle bowl in Fang He's hand, and urged: "Don't be sad here, without further ado, hurry up, I'll help you, I still have to go to Yunxiao Peak to step on the plate." ”
After speaking, he pulled Fang He and left, went out of Anpingfang, merged into the crowd, and went all the way out of the city, accompanied by the sunset, and occasionally there was the sound of bickering:
"By the way, where's your knife?"
"Dang, changed the bowl of noodles just now. ”
"I admire your ......"
Two streets across from Anpingfang is the famous Golan in the West Market, which is not as luxurious as the same place in the inner city, but has a different view. Behind the fireworks and willow alleys in the inner city, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles behind them, and they have an inextricable relationship with the upper echelons of Yunzhou, which is not something that ordinary civilians and Jianghu guests can touch.
And here is a lot more comfortable, much simpler, and of course a lot more complicated, because the Tao of the City Fox Society is not necessarily much less than those high-level nobles, as for the simplicity, it is because the transactions in it are not the slightest dignified disguise, more direct, more bloody.
At dusk, two big men carrying a wriggling sack of burlap trotted all the way through the back door of the Yinfeng Pavilion to a remote room in the backyard.
The two of them went into the room, closed the door, removed their pockets, and threw themselves on the floor, and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old came out of the middle, with her hands and feet tied, and sackcloth in her mouth, curled up on the ground, with her big round eyes, looking at the people in the room in horror.
There were people in this house, and there were quite a few, the first of whom wore an octagonal hat and two whiskers, which was described as quite obscene. He was full of anticipation, but after seeing the little girl's appearance clearly, his face changed immediately, and he raised his hand to give the big man who entered the house a brain crash.
"Your grandmother is a bear, didn't you say that the girl in the old man's house is over twenty-eight years old?
The big man was so big, and under the obscenity of the octagonal hat, he shrank back in fear, and said: "The old man's eldest girl got married last month, so I had to use the second girl to pay off the debt." ”
When the octagonal hat heard this, he was so angry that the two pieces of rat whiskers went straight up, raised his hand and gave him a brain breakdown, and scolded: "Don't you have a brain? That big girl is just the right age, you can use it when you come, these two girls are not dry, and they have to waste Lao Tzu's food for two years, what's the use of me coming?"
The octagonal hat was about to get angry again, but was stopped by a lazy voice behind him: "Okay, everyone has been brought back, can you go back and dismantle the old man's bones?" Although this little girl does not have a few taels of meat on her body, she looks quite thoughtful, which is a good blessing for the old man, and the two girls are so standard. I remember that Li Yuanwai of Changpingfang is good at this tone, and you will work hard to contact and contact. ”
"Alas, okay, I'll go back," the octagonal hat turned to face the voice from which it came, and just like that, it was instantly replaced by a nodding face, and he did his best to flatter.
