Chapter 174: Phoenix City Lord (I)
Originally, the journey to the west, after coming down to Wudang and buying a carriage, under the control of the two great monks competing for a mountain and a river, the official road was slowly changed to the north, which was really unexpected.
If the luminous monument has been spread all over the north and south of the river, Ye San can't believe that he will be forgotten by those reckless horsemen after staying in Wudang Mountain for more than ten days.
After all, the conditions offered are so attractive, whether it is the old man in the family, the treasure house that contains the world's martial arts, even the current saints come to join in the fun.
There is a deed of the night in front of the jade, and I think that the group of people in the rivers and lakes are more inclined to the reward of the court than the promise of the nightfall.
There is this matter like a sword hanging over his head, surrounded by many people who are watching good things on the wall, for the two great monks who have no heads like flies, Ye San really wants to praise their enlightenment.
Although it is a bit too big to avoid the sight of the crowd, it can disturb the attention of those people in the rivers and lakes for a short time, and it can still play a role.
A few days ago, in the Wudang Mountains, there were outer disciples who went up the mountain to transport some daily necessities, and it was mentioned that the luminous monument had already caused a lot of fighting in the rivers and lakes.
In the face of whether it is the promise of the king of the backer or the reward of the royal family, at present, not many people will play cards according to the routine.
Some people choose to watch from the wall, not knowing which one the night house is singing this time after being quiet for three years.
After all, no one is stupid, just like Shi Dare on Wudang Mountain, or Zhang Sanfeng, they can see that the so-called expulsion from the house three years ago was just a play played by Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai in the family of this prince with a different surname, and the ghost knows what kind of speculative scene it will be now.
This group of people who want to eat meat and are fishy, they are not in a hurry to come forward, just to see the excitement, if there is any benefit in the future, it is not impossible to be a yellow finch behind the mountain and watch the tiger fight, even if you can't eat meat, you can drink some soup.
There is also a group of people who are not so distracted, just for the sake of the existing interests in front of them and start to rush forward, how can they think about anything else?
I just hope to make more money, but I don't care if the bones thrown out of this court are raw or cooked.
Therefore, after the failure of Hai Dongqing, who took over the luminous monument at the beginning, those people in the rivers and lakes who coveted the benefits began to move, and after someone took over the luminous monument, a surprising competition began.
No more than the first time that Hai Dongqing, who was anxious, took over at the first time, everyone looked at the changes in the situation from the other side, and now it seems to have become a fragrant and gluttonous luminous monument in whose hands no one knows, and the ghost knows whether it will fall into the hands of some small people, so that some indiscriminate means will be used to attack the two sisters and brothers.
Someone is rushing to the car, it is rare to have nothing to do and be light, this road stops and stops for three or four days, and the night three is more than once thinking about all kinds of questions about the luminous monument.
It's like asking Hai Dongqing, who came from outside the Guanwai that day, has a funny name, and is very sincere in his words and deeds, who sent the luminous monument.
If you don't figure out this problem, you naturally can't figure out what to do next, if it's the old man in the family, whether it's for the emperor to see; If it is the emperor who does whatever comes to mind, could it be that he has not lost his anger for three years?
Too dependent on Ye Yao, resulting in a little headache every time Ye San thinks of these, I want to hear Ye Yao's statement, but a few days ago I came down to Wudang, this eldest lady wanted to take a boat to Xiangfan to pay homage to the peerless Confucian general who blocked Emperor Taizu Tianwen for six years, and feel its demeanor back then, but Ye San thought a little more, after all, it was still the reason for the luminous monument, and Ye San did not dare to go to Xiangfan to join in the fun.
Although it is the same time to go back to Beijing, going back on your own initiative and being caught back are two different concepts.
After resolutely rejecting Ye Yao's request to be stalked, the second lady of the Ye family was very stubborn, and she had already ignored Ye San for two or three days.
On this day, the carriage walked on the official road, and there were occasional voices around, indicating that there should be a town ahead, and the calculation time was past noon, and the third night was thinking about resting in the afternoon and resting tomorrow, and then hurrying, and it was not that there was any urgency, there was no need to be too in a hurry.
There is no need to discuss with the night who is carrying the knife on the side, and the third night lifts the curtain, but without waiting for the opening, he sees the mountains not far away, and he is stunned for a while.
First of all, he quietly glanced at the night in the carriage, still holding the long knife that was not closed by the wooden box and wrapped in a piece of dark blue cloth, sitting in a corner and pretending to sleep, and the night three quietly got out of the carriage, holding the two big monks who were driving, and just about to speak, he saw the two big monks with an embarrassed smile on their faces, and their eyes were evasive.
For example, these two great monks who have no scheming at all, the two of them will never be able to hide things in their hearts, but in the past few days, they have been traveling all the way to the north, and it is hard enough for these two people to flicker between their words, and now they are seeing the endless mountains and peaks in the distance, which has already exposed the destination of this trip, and the two can only cover it up with a smirk.
In fact, it doesn't matter where you go for the night watch, all roads lead to Chang'an, and you can go any way.
Ye Yaoer has been resigned to Ye San's more for several years, and her brother will follow her wherever she goes, it doesn't matter if she is blind or not, anyway, everything is up to her brother.
Nowadays, even if it is driven by two great monks, a mountain and a river, Ye Yao will not ask too much. But as the younger brother who knows his sister best, Ye San's more is one head and two older at this time.
If there is the most hated place in the whole world, the Sage Temple where Yejiazi is located is one, but it is not so annoying that it is not to the extent that it is not to be hated.
And right now, this place is definitely so hated that I don't want to set foot in it for the rest of my life.
When he traveled through the rivers and lakes, it was also regarded as a trip to the Great Zhou, just a glance, looking at the direction of the mountain and then looking at the surrounding environment, the night three more guessed the location.
The mountain is the westernmost part of the Qinling Mountains, facing the Zhongtiao Mountain across the river. The mountain here is long and narrow, shielding the eastern capital and Tongguan, dividing the land of Guanzhong and the Central Plains into two, guarding the capital from afar, turning over this mountain, it is the land of Gyeonggi.
It is true that it is possible to quickly get to the capital, and behind the mountain is the first pass in the second of the ten major Xiongguan since the records of Middle Earth
Tongguan, known as the "One Hundred and Two Gates", guards the throat of Gyeonggi and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. After passing through Tongguan, it is the first post in Gyeonggi: Lantian Station.
After that, the official road can be paralleled by six carriages, and it is all the way to the capital unimpeded. Of course, the mountains certainly won't be what bores Night.
In the territory of Yuzhou, the east of the river, there is a small city at the foot of the mountain, called Phoenix City, which is famous throughout the Great Zhou.
Legend has it that a thousand years ago there was a wandering monk who saw the white pheasant turning into a phoenix flying in this place, so he named Phoenix Mountain, and then there were people gathered under this mountain, and slowly expanded as a city, naturally it was also named according to the mountain, which was Phoenix City.
It is not a place for soldiers to fight for or a holy place for tourists to visit by mountains and rivers, and it is only a small town that is slightly larger than the town and smaller than the state and county station, and it is not a transportation artery, and it is not an economic land.
That's not why Nightshade hates it. Just like the reason why this place can be so famous, Phoenix Mountain is naturally famous in the Great Zhou not only because of the legend of the white and childish phoenix, but also two people, two people who make Ye Yaoer extremely annoying.
One Lan Li, one Qi Mo Yan. Basket Li, Mrs. Yuzhou, hereditary replacement. Qi Mo Yan, the city lord of Phoenix City.
A hundred years ago, the founding emperor Tianwen Emperor pulled the flag in the northwest Qinchuan land to resist the tyranny of the previous dynasty, conquered the northwest and attacked the Central Plains.
The former Great Wei gathered 100,000 troops, intending to open Yuzhou, swearing to resist to the death, and at the last moment, it was Zheng Duo, the defender of Yuzhou, who rebelled to solve this dilemma.
After that, the Great Zhou was unified, rewarded for meritorious deeds, and named Zheng Duo as the Marquis of Yuzhou. It's just that after the founding of the country, Hou Zhengduo of Yuzhou relied on his high merits and empty eyes, and expropriated and exploited the fat in the fiefdom, which made the county of Yuzhou full of complaints.
It's just that at that time, Emperor Tianwen had no time to take care of it, and Zheng Duo secretly bribed some senior officials in the court, so it was difficult to reach heaven for all kinds of injustices and injustices in Yuzhou.
At that time, the wife of Hou Zhengduo in Yuzhou, the Lan family, killed her relatives in righteousness, walked 300 miles day and night, and admonished her husband with death to expose her husband's illegal behavior.
Zheng Duo was imprisoned, all over the house, reciting the righteousness of the Lan family, the iron mask has no selfish merits, the wife of the first product is sealed, and the death penalty can be exempted from the death penalty once, and the territory of Yuzhou is hereditary.
After that, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and because of that Qi Moyan, he moved to Phoenix. And the relationship between Ye Yao and Mrs. Yuzhou's Basket Li is inseparable from this Phoenix City Lord Qi Moyan.
As the saying goes, where there are clouds, there is the world, and where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are very big, and some people can't figure it out in their lives.
The rivers and lakes are also very small, and you may be able to meet one or two old friends when you look up on the road. Qi Moyan is one of the few old friends in common with Ye Sangen and Ye Yao.
People in the rivers and lakes like to wear flower names and nicknames, some of which are given by others, and some are given by themselves.
Qi Moyan's nickname was given by himself, but later outsiders felt that his own name was inappropriate, so he changed his words.
The chess king was changed to a chess master. Qi Moyan watched people play chess before he knew a few words at the age of three, and began to play against people at the age of five.
He claimed that this was a great gift to himself and his crown. After that, he no longer played against others, and he liked the method of fighting with both hands.
Rumor has it that he and himself can play ten games at the same time, and the number of moves is different. Later, his fame grew, and the sage ordered him to go to the highest school of the dynasty, Guozi Xingtan Temple, to teach chess.
Such treatment is a good thing that people all over the world can't ask for. This chess saint who is located in the square inch of the chessboard and turns his hands into clouds and hands for rain, he didn't think about it and refused directly.
It is said that at that time, the saint issued three holy decrees in a row, and this indifferent Qi Moyan was just closed to the guests, and even the eunuchs who announced the decree were all closed, and the saint was also tolerant of him, and did not embarrass him anymore.
Qi Moyan became famous very early, and he was invincible in the chess world in his twenties. It wasn't until later that the night family had a night out, and it seemed to be an unintentional sentence to be regarded as a national teacher
"Far from all directions" stole the limelight of the whole world at that time. And in the mouth of the national teacher
"Far-flung in all directions" is not only that this name is famous in all directions, but also because of its proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, lyrics, hops and tea, and it is famous in all directions.
Originally, to the realm of Qi Mo Yan, even if there were powerful chess players, they would not rashly make a move, but with the temper of the king of the mountain, lest the world not know, because of the words of the national teacher, it was also to show off.
Qi Moyan naturally won't go, and his arbitrary temperament doesn't like this kind of competitive thing, and the sage can't even call him when he decrees, let alone a king with a different surname?
After that, no one knew whether he won or lost, but the night was loud all over the world in the year of the year, and the limelight was unrivaled for a while.
Unexpectedly, the young and arrogant Night Wanderer did not arouse Qi Moyan's desire to win.
