Chapter 161: A Thousand Years of Reading in the Shy Flower Building
There is no fortress that cannot be attacked. (_)
This is a line of words engraved on the outside of the city gate of Xiliang City.
The city wall of Xiliang City is five zhang high, each word of this sentence is one person high, painted with red lacquer oil, cursive, written with emotion in one go, such as moving like a rabbit, such as a snake startling into the grass, majestic under the distance.
"Wherever the pen goes, unrestrained, good words. Although he is not proficient in calligraphy, when he was in the mountains, Mo Li wrote a good hand, especially Mo Li, who was grinding and waving his pen, liked to write wild grass, and the gestures were smooth and not limited to the rules.
Although Su Qin, who was exposed to his ears, couldn't frame the words he wrote to those powerful people on the main hall, he could at least make an unprofessional but not objective comment on other people's words.
"The words don't matter, the literal content matters. Qi Luoge looked at Su Qin, who was emotional, and said with a slight smile, every soldier who marches and fights will use this sentence to inspire his brave soldiers before the battle, "Of course, if you compare it with the owner who wrote this character, the content expressed in this character will be insignificant." ”
"Who wrote it?" Hearing Qi Luoge say this, Su Qin frowned and asked, Listening to the meaning of Qi Luoge's words, could it be that the person who wrote this character is still a big person?
"Thousands of years ago......" Qi Luoge fell into his memory, and his speech was a little intermittent, "At that time, the Yan Kingdom was still a small country, and the current Xiliang City was the capital of the Yan Kingdom at that time. ”
“...... Although the current Yan calendar is nearly 4,000 years old, it's just that the person who wrote this character at that time counted the entire continent of Yan Country since there were human beings......"
This is because in the eyes of many people, the longer a country's history is, the more profound it is, the more educated it is, and the more confident it is to the outside world. ”
"Even if it's actually stubborn or rotten?" Hearing Qi Luoge say this, Su Qin continued to raise his own questions.
"Your words were heard by Lu Tianxing and he wanted to punish the Nine Clans. ”
"What's the matter with punishing my ten clans, I'm telling the truth. Su Qin said without a little wave in his expression.
"Not everybody thinks the same way you do. Qi Luoge said silently, remembering the reason why Qingyun City was broken at the beginning, and couldn't help but feel sad, if it wasn't for Lu Tianxing's intention to give up Qingyun City to the nomads, the current Qingyun City is afraid that it will still be like before, and the paper kites on the city wall are flying.
"Yes, the Yan Kingdom is indeed powerful in the eyes of many people, and the fact that the entire continent uses the Yan calendar to keep time shows this. When Su Qin said this, he paused, and there was something he didn't say in his heart, "Sometimes, the more powerful a country is, the more vulnerable their national self-esteem is. ”
"The topic is off the hook. Qi Luoge looked at the pedestrians on both sides of the road, worried that the wall would have ears, so he continued the unfinished topic, "The person who wrote this picture is named Lu Zhentian, the first generation of the Qi Sect, and the word on the city wall was written by him, before the army was raised to the north. Speaking of this, Qi Luo Ge couldn't help but think that if Lu Zhentian, the first monarch of the Yan Kingdom, knew that his descendants had wantonly divided the territory he had pioneered, I don't know if he would die blindly?
"Lu Zhentian?" Hearing this name, Su Qin silently read out.
"Yes, Lu Zhentian, if you want to know his story, you should be able to hear it often in the tea shop in Xiliang City. Speaking of this, Qi Luo Ge smiled bitterly, "Although Lihuo City is now the capital of the Yan Kingdom, the people of Xiliang City have always thought that they are also people living under the imperial walls, so they sometimes look at the people who are away from the Fire City, let alone the people from other cities. Qi Luoge didn't seem to want to say anything more after speaking, so he ended the conversation with one sentence, "People, sometimes you drag the past to the end, aren't you tired?"
"I'll listen. After Su Qin said this, he smiled silently, and after speaking, looking at the sky that had already darkened, Su Qin added lightly, "The first generation of the Great Grandmaster of the Qi Sect, what a domineering thing it is." ”
In fact, Lu Zhentian is not domineering, on the contrary, he is a little thin.
After finding an inn and settling down, Qi Luoge asked the innkeeper to send some food to the house, and ate with Su Qin and them, chatting while eating Time passed quickly, after eating Lu Renjia had to pay at this time, what did he think a few people would help him all the way, and then made a small request, saying that he wanted to continue to go north with Su Qin and others.
"It's nothing, isn't it just a few more pairs of chopsticks when eating?" Lu Renjia paid so diligently, so he took the lead in expressing his opinion, a pun, I don't know if I would add a few more pairs of chopsticks to Lu Renjia's family when I was waiting for someone to eat, or Lu Renjia would help everyone put a few more pairs of chopsticks when eating.
After getting along with Qian Duoduo for so long, Qi Luoge certainly knew Qian Duoduo's temperament, and knew that he was most likely the latter, so he smiled and nodded without saying anything.
"Childe, what are you doing?" Looking at Su Qin, who put his chopsticks on the table and got up and walked out, Bai Qi asked.
"It's still early, go out for a walk. When Su Qin said this, he nodded slightly at Qi Luoge and expressed his meaning.
"Go early and come back early, and I'll be out of town tomorrow. Knowing that Su Qin was going to the teahouse to listen to the play, Qi Luoge advised.
"I'm going to go around, too. Looking at Su Qin, who was walking outside, Bai Qi said a word to Qi Luoge at this time, and then chased outside.
Seeing Bai Qi also leaving, Xi Ri Wenlan got up at this time and wanted to go out with him, but was stopped by Qi Luoge, "I have already asked the shopkeeper to call Lang Zhong, you should rest in peace in the inn." ”
Xi Ri Wenlan frowned, looked outside the door, looked at Qi Luo Ge, and finally chose to sit down, after all, Qi Luo Ge is also for his own good, and now I don't know what the reason, his body has always been very weak, and going out with him is also causing trouble for Su Qin and them.
At this time, Qian Duoduo glanced at the night outside the window, and said to Qi Luoge, "I'll go down to see the horses first, and then I'll rest first." ”
Looking at Qian Duoduo, whose face was indeed tired, Qi Luoge nodded, didn't say anything, and Qian Duoduo went out of the room, came to the inn, glanced at the bustling crowd, and did not walk towards the stable behind the inn, but walked briskly to the east.
Qian Duoduo is to the east, and the direction of Su Qin and Bai Qi is also to the east.
"Where are we going?" Looking at Su Qin, who only swept his gaze on the various specialties and small objects on both sides of the road, Bai Qi knew that the point of Su Qin's coming out might not be as simple as coming out to shop.
The last time I came to Xiliang City, because Su Qin was injured, and he was worried about being found out, so he prayed Luo Ge Su Qin and they didn't do any stay in Xiliang City, they went in and out at noon, and even Su Qin had to hide in the dark wooden cabinet of splendid clothes, so he didn't have time to visit Xiliang City at all, and Su Qin couldn't have friends here in Xiliang City, so Bai Qi asked such a question.
"Go for tea. Su Qin turned his head to look at Bai Qi and said meaningfully.
"Tea?" secretly recalled these two words in his mind, and became more and more confused.
"May I ask this old man, is there any famous teahouse in this neighborhood, it is best to listen to the book. Su Qin stopped an old man passing by and asked respectfully.
"Teahouse?" Hearing Su Qin's question, the old man glanced at Su Qin up and down, "I didn't expect you foreigners to like this too." After saying this sentence that was not painful, the old man's mouth was angry, "Turn left a hundred meters ahead, and you will see a signboard with a big red lantern, 'Shame Flower Building' is." ”
Shy Flower Building?
Su Qin was deeply puzzled by the name of a teahouse, but he didn't ask anything, just said thank you to the old man, and then took Bai Qi to walk towards the Shy Flower Building.
"The sinking fish and the geese and birds are frightened, and the shy flowers are closed and the moon flowers are trembling. ”
Looking at the string of red lanterns hanging on both sides of the four gilded characters of the Shame Flower Teahouse, Su Qin read out the words on the lanterns softly, listening to the sound of the piano and the punching order in his ears, Su Qin smiled bitterly, it turned out that the so-called Shame Flower House was not only a tea house, but a mixed place integrating listening to music, a restaurant and a tea house.
"I said how a teahouse can be so magnificent, it turns out that each has its own merits. Su Qin learned from the literati and said, a little nondescript.
"I don't know who the owner of this shy flower building is, and he came up with such a way to open the building, what a big deal. Bai Qi asked at this time.
"You don't have to think about this, it's either the emperor's relatives or the magnates of Xiliang City. Su Qin looked at the eight-story Shy Flower Building, and then didn't talk nonsense, and stepped in.
The Shy Flower Tea House is located in the middle of Xiliang City, the transportation is convenient, there is an endless stream of people who come here every day to listen to music and listen to the commentary and eat, Su Qin and Bai Qi just entered the small house with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes to come to ask, after learning that the two of them came to listen to the story, they took the two to the location of the teahouse.
"Although the first and second floors are ordinary restaurants, it is a casual table of meals and a year's ration for ordinary people, as for the third, fourth and fifth floors, it is a place for those who have leisure and leisure to listen to music and eat by the way, the sixth floor is singing and dancing, and the seventh floor is a teahouse. Listening to the introduction of the little guy in the Shy Flower Building, Su Qin had a general understanding of the floor setting of the Shy Flower Building, as for what the eighth floor above the seventh floor was for, Su Qin didn't know, so looking at the little guy who took him to the seventh floor and was about to leave, Su Qin took out a few pieces of broken silver and called him, "What is the eighth floor for, brother, you haven't introduced it yet?"
"It is said that the residence of a nobleman on the eighth floor, although I have never seen this, but it should be true. Smiled and reached out to take the silver from Su Qin's hand, and the little servant whispered.
"Living in such a noisy place, there must be something wrong with your head. Looking at the departing little guy, Bai Qi muttered at this time.
Su Qin, who thought so, nodded, and then patted Bai Qi on the shoulder, and the two of them wanted to walk to the teahouse together, but they didn't expect that there were a lot of customers in the teahouse, and in the end, Su Qin, who was helpless, took out an extra silver to buy two tea tables with chairs.
Sitting on the chair, looking at the tea handed over by Xiao Er, Su Qin took a sip elegantly, but he didn't taste anything, and then began to listen to the middle-aged man in the center who looked like a scholar in white.
“...... Compared with other cities, Xiliangcheng has a series of military facilities such as moats, suspension bridges, gate towers, arrow towers, main towers, corner towers, enemy towers, parapet walls, and battlements, which is why ......"
“...... These constitute the tight and complete military defense system of Xiliang City...... 1,357 years ago today...... The Ancestor had a dream. ”
“...... In the dream, the ancestor turned into a soaring yellow dragon...... In that year, the northern nomads rode southward and marched to Xiliangcheng......"
“...... When the ancestor of the Enlightenment was reviewing the three armies, he laughed and wrote that sentence on the wall of Xiliang City......"
And then ...... The iron-blooded city dyes the soul of the army...... Subsequently, under the leadership of the ancestor, all the soldiers raised troops to the north and swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger......"
“...... This is why we have a picturesque country of thousands of years. ”
