019, Gong Dou (above)
Hou Gang is the happiest friend who has gotten along with each other since Huwa left the wilderness, and he is also a playmate of the same age. Hou Gang is the descendant of Cangjie, but it is impossible for Huwa to have such high hopes for the heir, hoping that he will become a scholar in the world in the future, not just stepping on the path to heaven in cultivation.
Before Xiling sent to Feihong City, he had met Cangjie in the national capital, and respectfully asked this senior whether he was willing to deign to serve as the head of the Xiangmuro Kingdom, even if it was only for a short time! Because as long as this senior nodded, the Xiangmuro Kingdom would be able to restore the palace, which had always been Xiling's wish.
Xiling is very discerning and far-sighted, he is very clear about Mr. Cangjie's wishes, but the small Xiangmu Baguo is not enough for Cangsha's predecessors to stop their travels and nod their heads to agree to such things.
Xiling stayed in Feihong City for more than half a month, got along with the young female monk Xinlan of the Five Realms, and accompanied Xinlan into the mountains to pick tea, watched her make tea with alchemy, and then took a pot of tea given by Xinlan, and returned to the capital with some reluctance.
From Feihong City to the national capital, if it is not a fast horse, it will take more than a month. When he came back, what happened in the hunting garden had already been reported to the national capital, and Xiling was taken aback when he heard about it. Because he taught Gong Yan a lesson in Gongshan Village, and kicked the guards and soldiers of the army into the air but did not hurt anyone, the name he left behind was actually "Little Mister".
This little gentleman not only dared to teach the gentleman and the girl a lesson, beat the hunting general, but also had a good conversation with the seniors of Cangsha. I remember that a few months ago in Feihong City, when that little gentleman was chasing and killing Yan Lingzhu, Chiwangqiu Xingsha also appeared. These two little gentlemen should be the same person, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.
Xiling told Xinlan that he suspected that the so-called "little gentleman" was the legendary ancestor of the elephant who had not appeared for a long time, and now he was more and more sure of this judgment, so that he could reasonably explain the series of things that happened. Cangsha and Xiangsha, who have not appeared for decades, have appeared one after another. And it has also attracted the attention of Chiwangqiu Xingsha, is there really something turbulent and important to happen in Ba Yuan?
Xiling always had this feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell the specific reason. Huwa is really a Xiangsha, since he doesn't want to say his identity, he definitely doesn't want others to talk too much, and this qiē is just Xiling's own speculation, so he didn't mention it to more people.
Before Xiling returned to the national capital, the monarch had already dealt with the matter of the palace concubine. Because Gong Yan had already complied with the order of the cang, she repented and confessed her guilt and apologized for compensation, and she also personally split the car she was riding. The horse that had committed the murder was also killed, and the flesh of the beast was roasted with the wood of the cart in lieu of the punishment.
Therefore, the king only reprimanded the palace concubine and punished her to be grounded for a year and not to leave her residence. As for the palace guards, the ordinary guards were all punished with rods and then dismissed to their hometowns, while the captain of the guard, who shot an arrow while talking to the tiger baby in Gongshanxu, was unsurprisingly beheaded and lost his life.
General Gongshanxu also received the cane, and he couldn't completely get rid of this matter after all. But the king did not impose any other punishment on Gongshanxu, and he received a staff in the army. After the fight, he was still a hunting general, and the sergeant in charge of the execution didn't dare to really fight. This rod is a symbol, a warning and admonition to the people.
The shock of this matter was great, but because of the presence of Cangsha seniors at that time. None of the lords in the court said much, and as for the name of the little gentleman, it spread. Immediately afterwards, Lord Xiling returned to the national capital and reported in detail to the monarch and the lords of the court what had happened in Feihong City. Then the matter was also conveyed to the cities in the country.
Now "Little Mister" is more famous in the country of Xiangmuro, and I haven't heard of such a heavy thing for many years, but now it is happening one after another. There is a lot of discussion among the Chinese people. Although I don't know his identity and origin, they all respect and admire him very much. As for the matter of the palace concubine, because of the advice and requirements of the monarch's favorite concubine, Xiling did not send a wind collector to publicize it to the city outlines, but it was also privately spread among the people in the national capital.
Interestingly, the people who heard about these two things at the same time all thought that the two little gentlemen were the same person, and they admired this little gentleman even more.
There are many people in the country who admire "Mr. Xiao", but some people are very unhappy, first of all, the mother of the palace concubine, the monarch's favorite concubine Changchang, and the clan where Changchang was born. The clan name of Concubine Shang is Changchang, and she is very powerful in the Xiangmu country, which is also an important reason why Changchang can be favored by the monarch.
In order to maintain the influence and power of the Changchang clan in the Xiangmuro Kingdom, the greatest wish of this tribe or family is to let the palace of Changchang inherit the throne of the monarch. But the monarch has many concubines and more than a dozen sons, and it is not so easy for Gong Lang to become the prince.
Through the relationship between the Guò family, Gong Lang was sent to the cultivation sect "Meng Yingqiu" to receive guidance as soon as he became an adult, and finally entered the initial realm and was able to cultivate a year later. Gong Lang is eight years older than Gong Yan, and now he is a monk of the Four Realms, which can be regarded as having the power background of this sect.
Meng Yingqiu is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Xiangfu, Zheng and Ba, and the head of its sect is a woman, who is one of the "fateful evils" of Ba Yuan, and her strength and potential influence should not be underestimated.
Although Chiwangqiu is incomparably powerful, its sphere of influence is not ubiquitous, at least the "Meng Yingqiu" where the fate is located and the "Wufu Hill" where the sword is located are also the inheritance sects of the major cultivation sects in Bayuan. Meng Yingqiu, Wufu Hill and Chiwang Hill, like Chiwang Hill, are all one of the legendary Bayuan Nine Hills, the abode of gods and men in the minds of the common people, and the treasure land of cultivation in the minds of monks.
Very few people know where Shude Hill is, but the approximate location of Meng Yingqiu and Wufu Hill is not a secret in Ba Yuan, and these two great sect inheritance sects are also named after their locations.
There are many large and small cultivation sects in the Bayuan area, and most of the time they are at peace with each other, maintaining mutual respect between the monks, with Chiwangqiu being the most prosperous, each with different influences.
Chiwangqiu has the most respected status in the hearts of the monks of the Bayuan countries, but Meng Yingqiu is not weak. There is another factor to consider for the Xiangmuro Kingdom, which is separated from Chiwangqiu by another Fanmuro Country, and Meng Yingqiu is on the border not far from the country.
There are also many descendants of Meng Yingqiu in the neighboring three kingdoms of Xiangfu, Zheng and Ba. As a disciple of Meng Yingqiu, Gong Lang certainly had an important influence when the monarch considered the question of who among the sons could succeed to the throne, but the weight was not enough.
It just so happened that Mr. Cangsha appeared again, visited the Prime Minister's Country and talked about the old things with the monarch, and the favorite concubine Chang could not miss this wonderful opportunity. She begged the monarch to make a request to Cangsha: let the palace concubine accompany her, guide her and accept her as a disciple. So far, I haven't heard of any disciples that Cangsha has accepted in the five kingdoms of Bayuan.
If Gong Yan can officially worship under the Cangsha Sect, it doesn't matter how high her own cultivation can be, and it doesn't even matter if she can enter the initial realm and cultivate. Changchang's son Gong Lang is a disciple of Meng Yingqiu, and the youngest daughter has become the heir of Cangsha, and her status is comparable to others.
The monarch is only in his forties this year, and he is full of energy, it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he still has a desire to unify Bayuan, so it seems that it is too early to consider the question of the prince. But the Changchang family had to plan in advance, lest something happen to the monarch and catch them off guard.
If Gong Yan can really worship under the Cangsha Gate, then Gong Lang's status as the prince is almost fixed, and if Gong Yan asks Cangsha to say a word, then there will be no doubt. In the area of Ba Yuan, from the monarch to the ordinary people, they all believe in the gods, and people like Baisha, Cangsha, and Mingsha are almost equivalent to gods walking in the world in the eyes of ordinary people.
However, the good things planned by the Changchang family were failed because of the palace concubine's trip to hunt the garden. What happened to the palace concubine was very unfavorable to the influence of the concubine and the entire Changchang family in the country, and in the future, when the monarch chooses the prince, it will become a disadvantageous factor affecting the palace.
Of course, this matter is related to Gong Yan's own negligence, but the Changchang family will inevitably inquire about who has ruined their good deeds? For example, Concubine Xiang thinks that if it weren't for the inexplicable appearance of a "little gentleman", things might not have turned out like this, and they could not be concealed and irreparable.
Even senior masters such as Cangjie, when they first heard about this, they suspected that someone had deliberately set a conspiracy trap against Gong Yan, and wanted to make things out of control, and the purpose was to target a certain force in the country. Later, he met the tiger baby herself, and figured out the details of what happened, only to understand that this was not the case.
And the people in the Changchang family were not at the scene, but just listened to the relays of the return, of course, they were even more suspicious. They were also worried that Huwa was Cangsha's son and nephew, but after confirming with Gong Yan, they learned that this was not the case. The young man was really "passing by" Gongshan Village, and he had nothing to do with Cangsha before, and in front of Cangsha, he didn't want to tell his identity and origin.
This is even more suspicious, Concubine Xiang once said privately to her confidants and Chang Gonglang: "That person calls himself Mr. Xiao, and he refuses to be honest about his identity even in front of Cang Xu, because he is afraid that we will find out his origin." This person seems to be young, but he has the Four Realms Cultivation and the National Crafts Token, and there must be another force in the country behind it.
They are very aware of Gong Yan's temper, and they have been secretly waiting for an opportunity to set a trap, that is, to let Gong Yan step in, not only take the opportunity to suppress my Changchang clan, but also ruin our big things. I can guess who did it, and it should be among the princes who are qualified to compete with my son for the throne.
That so-called little gentleman has now won the admiration of many people in the country, and has found an opportunity to follow Cang Sha's side to curry favor, and the forces behind it have great schemes, which is absolutely not a good thing! We must find an opportunity to find out the origin of this person and the truth of this matter, and expose it in front of the king, otherwise we will always be threatened by a secret enemy, and our situation will be even more disadvantageous in the future.
