Chapter 162: There is a lot of wind and rain in Xiliang City
"The Ancestor took the first 300,000 soldiers and expanded the territory of the Yan Kingdom to the vast mountains north of Qingyun City...... After accepting the surrender edict of Mangguo, the ancestor did not stop the pace of attack, and then began to fight in the east and west...... This was a five-year-long war, although the war was full of blood and cruelty, but it changed the pattern of the Yan country, the territory of the Yan country at that time, the south including the small countries of Ning Guolang country, extended to the swampy land. ”
"Three million enslaved, more than a million soldiers...... It is clearly recorded in the history books, and those historians have also said it very thoroughly - if the ancestors were willing, there is no doubt that the tribes and tribes in the mountains, the Tianshui country on the sea, and their lands will be trampled under the feet of the ancestors. ”
"But the ancestor did not do this, as the first generation of the Qi Sect Grandmaster, as the strongest powerhouse on the continent at that time, the ancestor may have felt lonely, or maybe he felt that no matter how much territory he had, he could not compare to the happiness of the people in the country, so he led the troops back to Xiliang City - here I have to talk about the fact that there were five million people in the Yan country at that time, and after the end of the war, in addition to the million male soldiers, the rest were mostly women and old people, so this is why the population of the Yan country has not increased for a long time in the future. ”
"After the end of the war, after he passed middle age but was still young, he passed the throne to the eldest prince and left Xiliang City. ”
"That was the year that Yan Guo moved the capital to Lihuo City. ”
“...... As for where the ancestor went in the end, some people say that they went to the Tianlong Pavilion of Tianshui Kingdom, and some people say that they went to the Lousha Dynasty of the Desert Boat, and there is no record in the history books, but many people believe that the ancestor has become a god. ”
"We must firmly believe that the ancestor is watching us at the moment, and is secretly blessing the descendants of the Yan Kingdom. ”
This is the end of the storyteller's words, and after a short rest, he begins to tell another story, which is the story of Lu Zhenyun and his beloved wife.
"The first generation of the Qi Sect Grandmaster really lives up to his reputation. The love story is lingering and compassionate, but Bai Qi can't listen to it, remembering the previous storyteller who said that Lu Zhentian alone created the process of the enemy army like a bag, Bai Qi sighed sincerely.
And Su Qin didn't speak, just quietly looked at a painting pasted behind the storyteller in the teahouse.
It was a person who stood with a sword overlooking the world, white-clothed Shengxue, Su Qin guessed that this person should be Lu Zhentian.
Su Qin stared at his ancestors and listened to the words of the storyteller, and his heart was full of emotion.
"Why no one talks about the rebellion eighteen years ago. Looking at Su Qin, who was a little preoccupied with his thoughts, Bai Qi, who was very interested in the war eighteen years ago, asked in a low voice.
"Three hundred years ago, I often heard about the battle between the tribes and the alliance countries, why didn't anyone mention the Demon Sect after that?" Su Qin asked in a low voice with a wry smile.
Bai Qi, who seemed to understand something, nodded, and then looked at Su Qin, "You are here to listen to this." ”
"Yes and no. Su Qin, who had sold a pass, looked at the cold tea in front of him, drank it all after picking it up, and then got up and walked outside.
Watching Su Qin leave, Bai Qi also left the table.
Not long after the two of them left, a richly dressed young man came to the Shame Flower Building, and when he passed by Su Qin, he didn't look at the ordinary Su Qin at all, and Su Qin didn't pay attention to this obviously powerful young man, just stood in front of the signboard of the Shame Flower Building and watched quietly for a while.
"Just now the storyteller said that this shy flower building was built by the ancestor for his beloved wife, so many years have passed, when the old appearance of the imperial capital of the Yan Kingdom no longer exists in Xiliang City, the business of this shy flower building is becoming more and more prosperous. ”
"The shadow of people's famous trees, these are the pride of the people of Xiliangcheng. Su Qin replied lightly, remembering what Mo Li said at the beginning, Mo Li said that some people swear to defend not their own self-esteem, but their beliefs, because ...... That's an honor.
Lu Zhentian probably wouldn't have thought that thousands of years later, his descendants would be full of complaints under his inscription.
Su Qin couldn't have imagined that just half an hour ago, someone finally faced his faith for the first time and decided to abandon his poor self-esteem and do something for his ancestors.
Not long after Su Qin entered the Shy Flower Building, Qian Duoduo entered an alley, the road in the alley was not wide, and it was staggered in all directions, but this did not make Qian Duoduo's footsteps linger in the slightest, and the more he walked, the more he walked, he was clearly familiar with the road under his feet.
It wasn't until Qian Duoduo saw the dilapidated mansion that he slowly slowed down.
Qian Duoduo's face under the gaze was a little more dignified and a little unclear annoyance, so his brows were furrowed.
The broken door, which had long been occupied by cobwebs, still had traces of seals attached to it, but as the seals were eroded by the years, all that remained were some white marks.
It's still the same as it was.
Qian Duoduo looked at the empty street, looked at the small attic on the broken door, seemed to be remembering something, and stood there quietly.
His face was changing.
If Qian Duoduo is not mistaken, the stone lions on both sides of the gate are stained with blood eighteen years ago.
If Qian Duoduo is not mistaken, he entered the gate and turned left, and there was a redwood tree that was very old.
If Qian Duoduo is not mistaken, in the gate of this mansion that can no longer be seen whose it is, three hundred and forty-two people have died.
No, three hundred and forty-one died.
And one more alive.
Qian Duoduo didn't know who was holding him and throwing him into the hands of a beggar.
Qian Duoduo doesn't remember why he suddenly lost his father and mother when he couldn't run back then.
What's more, Qian Duoduo forgot what his last name was.
From the time when Qian Duoduo could remember, what he lacked and needed most was money.
So he gave himself a Qian surname, and even the two words added at the end were to tell himself to work hard to earn money and earn a lot of money.
When he was six years old, the beggar who brought him up told him before he died that he was not a homeless man.
At that time, Qian Duoduo didn't know what home was, didn't know that his relatives lived in it, only that it was a place where he could shelter from the wind and rain.
"This manor in front of you is your home. At that time, the old beggar looked at Qian Duoduo, regardless of whether the child understood what he said or not, and said to himself, "I was begging in the film that year, and it rained heavily that night......
"Hiding under the eaves, I saw a big man holding a big knife, covered in blood, and you were holding it in his hand. ”
"There were a lot of people behind him...... I hid in the dark, not wanting him to throw you by my side, and then ran north. ”
"Although I don't know his name, I know him, six years ago, he was standing behind the city lord and commanding the defenders of Xiliang City to go north. ”
"That year, the entire Xiliang City was searching for your traces...... I know that if I hand you over, I will definitely get a lot of money, I will be able to buy a house, marry a few women, and even eat and drink every day without worrying about starvation, and I don't have to worry about not having a quilt when it snows. ”
"But I didn't, I know it's more important for you to be alive than for me to be rich. ”
"So, I'm bringing you back today, just to let you know where your home is, and ...... I'm sick anymore, I'm going to die in this manor, and if you come back one day, remember to prepare a good coffin for me, and pour me a glass of wine by the way. ”
The memory is very vague, so vague that when Qian Duoduo remembers this, he doesn't know if he is dreaming or in reality.
Then the old beggar died, and until his death Qian Duoduo did not know his name, but he only remembered his dirty face.
What the old beggar said, I only remembered one sentence in Qian Duoduo's memory.
That's the mansion in front of me, my former home!
Eighteen years ago, with Lu Tianxing's ascension to the throne, no one in the entire Yanguo City Lord dared to speak out, this was the mansion of Zheng Haoqi, the marshal of the defenders of Xiliang City, who was the first to raise troops north!
These are all found out a little bit more money over the years.
From the age of six to ten, it was the time when Qian Duoduo was taken by the old beggar to leave Xiliang City and come back, in the past four years, he has been living in Xiliang City, looking at the dilapidated gate when he is hungry, looking at the dilapidated gate when it snows, and looking at the dilapidated gate under the rainstorm.
Starving, cold, beaten.
Although he knew that it was his home, Qian Duoduo never thought of going in to see what it was.
At that time, he only knew that if he ventured in, he would die faster than starvation.
I don't remember how many times I walked back and forth in these alleys, Qian Duoduo only knew that even if he closed his eyes, he could touch here from the four gates of Xiliang City.
Because this is his home.
Regarding Zheng Haoqi's events in those years, Qian Duoduo vaguely guessed something by looking up.
Now the city lord of Xiliang City will be evil, and Lu Xiaofeng, the owner of the powerful and now embarrassing flower building in Xiliang City, and one of the relatives of the emperor, is the end of the incident of the year.
Those hatreds, it seems, have been crushed by many people in dark corners with the extension of time, no one remembers them, no one mentions them.
After watching quietly for a while, when Qian Duoduo was about to leave, he saw two people coming from the street.
He didn't know those two people, but he knew that what these two people were holding in their hands at the moment was something from the Zheng Mansion, because these two people came out of the Zheng Mansion over the wall.
Qian Duoduo didn't know that after Zheng Haoqi was beheaded all over the house, all the things in the Zheng Mansion were looted, not to mention, with the people's forgetfulness of this place over the years, many drunkard gamblers would risk being arrested by the government to break into the government, and then take out some worthless things from the Zheng Mansion and convert them into silver for their own entertainment.
"Stop. Looking at the two of them, Qian Duoduo shouted loudly, Qian Duoduo didn't know at this time, due to the fluctuation of his emotions just now, his voice at this moment was full of anger and some killing intent.
"Fatty, don't meddle. The two of them were startled by Qian Duoduo, who suddenly made a rough voice, and when they saw that the shouter turned out to be a ten-** teenager, they all showed a disdainful smile, and a tall man looked Qian Duoduo up and down, and after determining from Qian Duoduo's clothes that the person in front of him was not a person with a head and a face in Xiliang City, he said to Qian Duoduo, and was about to leave after speaking.
"I'll make you stop. Qian Duoduo said again, and after speaking, he came to the middle of the road and stood in front of the two people.
"Dead fatty, do you know who we are? blind your dog's eyes, dare to block the uncle's way. The tall man was about to step forward as he spoke, until he heard Qian Duoduo's words.
"I'll buy what you have, and make a price. Looking at the two people in front of him who were obviously better than the thieves, Qian Duoduo whispered.
It was this sentence that brought unwarranted disaster to Qian Duoduo.
