Chapter 312: Someone Comes from a Foreign Country
The sun rises and sets in the dust, and time passes by in the shouts of the craftsmen. Wu Yan stood at the foot of Xi Mountain, looking at the houses rising from the ground, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
This is the first time in his life to build his own house, although the cost is not rich, Wu Jian is not distressed. In addition to building a large courtyard on the mountain and down the mountain, strange stones, ancient trees, different flowers, rare birds, and all kinds of curiosities are continuously sent to the mountain, and the courtyard is decorated quietly and elegantly.
At the foot of the mountain, a total of four such courtyards were built, which were used by Zhu Buzhan, Zhao Zhen, Baoxiang and himself. On the mountain, Wu Gen also renovated the original buildings, and ten courtyards such as Qichi, Linglong, and Shengyun were distributed in the beautiful places from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
Wu Gen and Baoxiang pounced on the construction site all day long, and sometimes even started to help the craftsmen carry the stones and beams, although they were tired, but they enjoyed it.
The wind is gusting, and the wind is coming. Wu Gen stood alone on the top of the mountain, looking at the stars in the sky in a quiet daze. There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Yang Zheng coughed, and walked to Wu Gan's side.
"Are you leaving?" Wu Qian turned his head and asked. As a person from other continents, Yang Zheng will not live here for a long time, so Wu Jian did not arrange a special courtyard for him, anyway, there are many other courtyards on the mountain.
"Don't you want to go out and see, the world is big, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, and they are wonderful. Zhao Guo is compared to it, but the shallow pond is compared to the ocean. You are still so young, you have consumed your mind, and you have retreated here, not realizing that the time is fleeting, and you have lost your years. Yang Zheng was no longer restrained, stood beside Wu Gan, and looked at the vast four fields.
Wu Yan couldn't help laughing and said: "Isn't there a saying that is good, my family is at ease." Now that your heart is at peace, why should you be troubled by wandering any longer?
Besides, I'm just a bandit, so how can I have such a big heart, I just want to be stable. As for what stirs up the world, let the people with the heart do it. Isn't it also a great pleasure for me to stay here, drink and have fun, and make fun of my children? ”
"Are you at ease, not necessarily." Today's Yang Zheng is aggressive, with a bit of-for-tat, "If you are at ease, you will not transfer the title deed here to Zhu Qianhua and them, and you will not leave any points." It is precisely because you know in your heart that the current comfort will not last long that you have made such a decision.
You were ambushed on the cross slope that day, and I carried you back. I know that you have a killing weapon hidden in you, and it is this thing that makes Zhao Guo jealous of you, so he gave him the identity of a noble person and placed it here. To say that it is a retreat, but it is actually a self-imprisonment, is this kind of life what you want? ”
Wu Yan smiled when he heard this, turned around Yang Zheng with his hands behind his back, and sniffed with his nose from time to time, "How can I smell something different." ”
Yang Zheng was helpless, so he had to say with a straight face: "Wu Gan, I won't frolic with you today, but I'm talking about the right thing." With your talents, you shouldn't be buried in the mountains. Even if you obey the emperor of the Zhao Kingdom, he will allow you for a while, and sooner or later he will get rid of your great trouble. In this world, the most untrustworthy thing is the king's heart. ”
"From him, from Zhao Ye?" Wu Gen suddenly laughed, pinched an orchid finger in his hand, hummed a tune in his mouth, and danced on the top of the mountain, with a graceful posture and a tactful voice.
"The wind is bleak and the fog is long and the stars are bleak, and the sky is dark all the way, and the wind blows the sand and blows people's faces. Like a goose lost in the group, living alone in the water, calling the clouds alone, and finally met the Chanjuan people.
She taught me to put away the remaining hatred, avoid resentment, and reform myself, change my temperament, turn back from the bitter sea, and realize Lan Yin ...... early"
The babbling of the song echoed on the top of the mountain, like a cry in the silent night. "That's enough." Yang Zheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded loudly, "I lost my ambition for a woman, and it can be seen that I am also erected." As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves and walked down the mountain.
Wu Gen stopped singing and said loudly to Yang Zheng's back: "Yang Zheng, I am an orphan, do you know that a child, when facing the fear of the lonely lamp every night, can know the sadness of being sick and having no one to rely on."
No one wants to have a home more than me, and I want to have a place to be fed, clothed, and nagged. What is ambition, can eat or drink, you people who have been worry-free since childhood can't understand my mood at all. ”
"I understand your feelings, but ......," Yang Zheng replied from afar.
"You know a fart, and if you don't understand any situation, you persuade others to work hard, but it's just the hypocrisy of those in high positions." Wu Geng shouted hysterically.
Yang Zheng sighed and walked down the mountain.
"The inn is deserted, the wind is flowing and the rain is slight, who knows the slave's thoughts......" Wu Gen pinched his throat and babbled behind him.
On the road leading from the Great Xia Kingdom to the Zhao Kingdom, a team of banners hunting and bright armor was slowly moving forward. Zhang Yuan and Jin Song stood in the team, looking at this team of people with complicated expressions.
Over the years, the border armies of the Great Xia Kingdom and the Zhao State have been in constant conflict, and they have suffered many injuries to each other, not to mention bitter hatred, but also full of hostility.
But now, the other party's mission has entered the territory of Zhao State in such a grand manner. The imperial court has already arrived, and everywhere the Great Xia Kingdom mission goes, they must greet each other with courtesy, without the slightest neglect.
The new county guard of Bao'an County waited on the side of the road early, preparing to arrange for the mission to stay in Dingyuan City, and arranged a team of van troops to escort it, so as not to make a mistake in Bao'an County, Zhang Yuan and Jin Song were ordered to come.
"What is this called, I used to fight for life and death, but now I have to protect people like a dog." Zhang Yuan whispered to Jin Song beside him.
"What's this, it's like this between countries, today's hatred, tomorrow's allies, only the word interests. However, I heard that this time there were people from the Divine Sect who went to the capital together, and Murong Zhao, the second prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, personally accompanied him, so the imperial court attached so much importance to it. Jin Song leaked some inside information to Zhang Yuan.
"Cult of God, what are you doing?" Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment.
Jin Song scratched the itch with a horsewhip inserted into his helmet, and was also a little confused, "I heard that it is a big sect in a foreign continent, how big is it, even the enthronement of the emperors of various countries requires them to nod their heads, and the soldiers and horses are deployed with the announcement, and the power is very large, so the imperial court will attach so much importance to it." ”
"Sss Zhang Yuan gasped, "Even the emperor has to be restrained by it, this divine cult is really tight." Could it be that they entered Beijing this time to call out to the emperor. ”
"I don't know, but with our Zhao State system, how can we casually succumb to the Divine Sect, and I can't say that I have to fight a few battles. However, looking at this posture, even the Great Xia Kingdom can't withstand it, and it is difficult for us to not be restrained by it. Jin Song's face was a little complicated, and he secretly spat in the direction of the mission.
"If, I mean, if our Zhao Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom are under the control of the Divine Sect, have they become a state of brothers, and this battle cannot be fought, then what are the brothers who have died over the years." Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and grabbed the handle of the knife hatefully.
Jin Song was stunned for a moment, but he realized it in hindsight that what Zhang Yuan said really made some sense. If the two countries really negotiate peace under the suppression of the Divine Religion, then what are they doing with the Xiang Army, and who are they fighting with, wouldn't their own brothers lose their livelihood?
The two were muttering, but the mission came over, a team of more than thirty people, with two people in the middle. One of his people was dressed in a yellow robe and riding a green horse, and it was Murong Zhao, the second prince of the Great Xia Kingdom. However, as a prince, he stepped back half a position with the young man next to him.
The young man wore a tall white crown and was tall in a black robe, with a wide sword at his waist and a scabbard studded with precious stones. The white horse under his crotch was also very strong, and it was even a head taller than Murong Zhao's mount.
Beside the two, there were five knights in white masks, huddled around the two. Further out, there are the soldiers and horses of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the leader is Gan Xing, the commander of the border army of Huangzhang County.
I think that at the beginning, this person also had a solid fight with Wu Gan, which made Wu Gan a model in the army. Over the years, Gan Xing has been ashamed and courageous, and he has been diligent in cultivating every day, and he has cultivated in the four realms. Moreover, when fighting with Zhao State, he always rushed to the front, made a lot of military achievements, and was promoted from Tun Chang to Qu Chang.
Seeing Gan Xing's arrival, Zhang Yuan and Jin Song's faces were a little ugly, without him, the old opponent, this person has repeatedly taken the initiative to provoke over the years, and the Zhao Guoxiang army can be described as disgraced, and the soldiers are lost.
When the new Ma Junshou saw the mission coming, he hurriedly led people to greet him, briefly looked at the customs clearance documents, and then took the more than 30 people to Dingyuan City. In front of Jin Song, Gan Xing didn't forget to arch his hand and raise his eyebrows, but now the former's nose was almost crooked.
However, Gan Xing didn't care about Jin Song's displeasure, but urged the horse to go with him, and asked as he walked: "Jin Quchang, let me inquire about something, where did the young man named Wu Gen who fought against me go back then, and whether he is still serving in the Xiang Army." ”
"Wu Gan." Jin Song was stunned for a moment, and the thief boy appeared in front of him, "Zhang Yuan, you come to answer him." With a gloomy face, he turned his horse aside.
Zhang Yuan had no choice but to urge the horse to come to Gan Xing, and said as he walked: "Since the last time Wu Qu fought with Gan Quchang, he left the Xiang army, first went to Guanxi City, and then somehow went to the capital, and I heard that he brought people into the Great Relics Continent. ”
"The Great Relic Continent?" Gan Xing was shocked, "I dared to enter this lawless place, sure enough, Brother Wu is worthy of being a rare hero in your army." I heard that the Great Relic Island has been closed, and I wonder if he ever came out safely. ”
Hearing Gan Xing's praise for Wu Gan, Zhang Yuan's mood also improved, "It seems to have come out, I heard that it appeared on the Starfall Plain a few days ago, but then I didn't know where to go." It should be that he returned to the capital, and it is estimated that the court will reward him a lot. ”
When he returned to Bao'an County the last time, because he was involved in the army, Wu Jian did not go to Zhang Yuan, Mo Xin and others, so as not to implicate them.
Gan Xing pursed his lips and looked eager to try, "I really want to fight Brother Wu again to see if he has improved over the years." ”
Zhang Yuan's face fell, he still remembered it, hum, if you fight again, you will lose, with Wu Gan's temperament, if you can't beat you, you won't be killed.
The mission entered Dingyuan City, but only rested here for a day or two, and then went all the way to Fuli to meet the current Emperor Zhao. Zhang Yuan and Jin Song sent the mission to the border of Bao'an County, and their faces were a little heavy as they watched the team wander away.
In the past two days, I have been in contact with the mission, but I have also learned some information, this divine sect's visit this time is very big, not only Zhao State, I am afraid that the rest of the countries will not live in peace again.
