Chapter 5: The Legend of the Flying City

Xie Zhenliang asked, "What are the doubts about Fu Jiezi?"

Zhang Fatzi rarely had the opportunity to sell the thousands of books in his stomach in public, and at this time, seeing that everyone was fascinated, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

He shook his head and said: "It is recorded in the Book of Han that when Fu Jiezi went to Loulan Kingdom to assassinate King Angui, he only brought a few guards with him. easily killed King An Gui, and cut off his head and brought it back to the Han Dynasty unscathed, how can you think about it?"

Ye Feng blinked and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Zhang Fatzi scoffed at his ignorance and said: "At that time, Loulan was an important hub of trade between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, and it was the most powerful of the 36 countries in the Western Regions both politically and economically. Sima Gong recorded in the historical records that the country of Loulan had a high city, a glorious Buddhist temple and a magnificent palace, and the streets were crowded with merchants and travelers. ”

"In such a powerful kingdom, how can there be no guards by the king's side? Fu Jiezi is just a scholar, how can he easily assassinate the king with a few guards, and still be able to escape unscathed? Are the ministers and troops of the entire kingdom dead?"

Ye Feng was stopped by his series of questions, and lowered his head speechlessly.

Zhang Fatzi's face was full of smugness, and then he said: "More than that, this Fu Jiezi returned to the capital of the Han Dynasty safely with the head of King An Gui and met Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty rewarded him as the Marquis of Yiyang for this meritorious service, with 700 households, which was a great reward at that time. Together with the guards he brought to assassinate King Angui, they were also named squires, which shows the joy in the heart of Emperor Zhao of Han. ”

"Fu Jiezi had sent an envoy to subdue the Qiuzi Kingdom of the Western Regions long before this incident, set up an ambush and killed the Xiongnu envoy, and now he has assassinated the king of Angui, such a meritorious and skilled expert in the Western Regions, after being crowned a marquis, he has never been reused, and it has not been mentioned in the history books since, is this normal?"

And after Fu Jiezi's death, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty not only did not let his son take the title, but found a crime to put his son in prison, and the title and fief were also canceled. Isn't that strange?"

Listening to Zhang Fatzi's analysis, everyone nodded again and again, it seems that this Fu Jiezi is indeed quite strange.

Xie Zhenliang raised his arm and stabbed the fat man, and said, "You must know the reason, don't sell it, say it quickly." ”

Zhang Fatzi smiled proudly: "It happened more than a thousand years ago, how can I know the reason, it's just some speculation." ”

Then he put away his hippie smile and said: "Actually, the reason is very simple, that is, in the matter of returning to the king, Fu Jiezi lied to Emperor Zhao of Han. ”

"I once saw a history book about the general Huo Guang that recorded that after Fu Jiezi brought back the head of King An Gui, King Angui's younger brother once told Huo Guang, who was in power at that time, that the head was actually not his brother's. ”

But Fu Jiezi himself is Huo Guang's person, and he also recommended it to Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, if it happens, I am afraid that it will affect him, so Huo Guang suppressed this matter, and warned King Angui's younger brother not to talk nonsense. ”

"I guess that although Huo Guang concealed this matter, Emperor Zhao of Han still didn't know how to know about it, so Fu Jiezi never got reused again. ”

Xie Zhenliang frowned: "If as you said, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty already knew that Fu Jiezi had committed the crime of bullying the monarch, why didn't he just kill him?"

Zhang Fatzi shook his head helplessly: "Who knows? Maybe it was because he was afraid of Huo Guang's power at that time, maybe he didn't want to admit that he was the Son of Heaven, but he was deceived like a fool, in short, Emperor Zhao of Han kept it until Fu Jiezi died. ”

Ye Feng shook his head in disbelief: "These are just your guesses, is there any other evidence?"

Zhang Fatzi smiled mysteriously: "There really is." I once read a wild history of the Western Regions, which once mentioned that Fu Jiezi did not go to Loulan alone, and he was accompanied by 20,000 iron cavalry sent by the general Huo Guang. He didn't go to assassinate King Angui, but to destroy the Loulan Kingdom!"

"But just when he was about to take advantage of the night to launch an attack on Loulan, that is, the night when he claimed to Emperor Zhao of Han that he had assassinated King Angui, they rushed into the city of Loulan, only to find that the palace was gone!

After Zhang Fatzi finished saying this, the whole room suddenly became silent.

A city flying in the night sky?

Isn't this a myth and legend?

Is there really such a record, or is it made up by Zhang Fatzi?

After a long time, Ye Feng snorted and said, "This, it's unlikely, right? Maybe it's just a legend, according to what you say, wouldn't the 20,000 Han army iron horsemen also see it? If so many people see it, how can they hide it?"

Zhang Fatzi stuck out his tongue and said, "You're right, maybe this is just a legend." However, the legends are not necessarily groundless, so many years have passed, what happened back then, I'm afraid only Fu Jiezi himself can know. ”

Can Fu Jiezi himself know?

This sentence reminded Ye Feng and made him suddenly remember the content of Master Chang's letter.

So he also said to Zhang Fatzi with a mysterious smile on his face: "Maybe there is really a person in this world who knows this secret." ”

Zhang Fatzi didn't believe it: "Which historian is it?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I'm not a historian. Master Ligai's letter said that the country of Loulan has disappeared for a thousand years, and its original place has turned into a vast desert, and if we want to find its location in this vast desert, we must find someone. ”

Xie Zhenliang asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Ye Feng paused before continuing: "This person is the descendant of Mr. Fu Jiezi back then, called Fu Shuangling!"

When Zhang Fatzi heard this, he looked like he suddenly realized: "Yes, since he is a descendant of Fu Jiezi and can find the location of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, he must know some secrets about the ancient kingdom of Loulan that others don't know, and he must know the truth of the year!"

Zhang Fatzi said to himself, his expression became excited at the thought of having the opportunity to unravel the truth of a thousand years ago.

Xie Zhenliang looked at him and knew that his nerd temper had made another mistake, so he didn't pay attention to him anymore, and asked Ye Feng, "Fu Shuangling?"

Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe so, this name was only mentioned in Master Lichang's letter." Now we only know this name, as for whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is old or young, we don't know anything, the world is so big, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, where to start?"

Zhang Fatzi snorted and chirped at this time and said: "Hanshu said that Fu Jiezi is from the Northland, the evening scene is bleak, and he is buried in his hometown. Beidi is now the area of Gansu, so if you want to find Fu Jiezi's descendants, you must first go to Lanzhou. (The name of Lanzhou originated in the Song and Song dynasties, and was later reduced to Lanxian County during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was restored to Lanzhou during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.) Here, in order to avoid confusion of place names, the author follows the name of Lanzhou)

Ye Feng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, it seemed that there was such a brother by his side, who was really useful.

But after thinking about it again, Gansu has a vast territory, and even if you go to Lanzhou, if you want to find someone who only knows your name, you still need to find a needle in a haystack.

The joy on his face froze suddenly, and he looked at Zhang Fat Man a little blankly.

Zhang Fatzi sighed a little helplessly, who told him that he was still familiar with the strange things in the rivers and lakes.

He said angrily: "If you want to find someone, there are two characters in Lanzhou City, one is called Mr. Deserted Moon, it is said that when he was young, he was known as the first sword in the Northwest, and a set of Wild Moon swordsmanship is very powerful. Although he is old now, he is the leader of the Northwest Martial Arts, and he has a big face. ”

"There is also a character is the head of the Qinglong Dart Bureau, Guan Si Old Man, it is said that he claims to be the descendant of the famous general Guan Yunchang of the Three Kingdoms, and he rarely meets an opponent with a Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, and he has never missed a dart for decades, and the black and white roads in the northwest rivers and lakes have to sell him face. ”

Xie Zhenliang interrupted him with a frown: "Isn't Guan Yu supposed to be from Hedong County in history, that is, in the area of Shanxi today, how can there be descendants in Lanzhou?"

Zhang Fatzi glared at him angrily and said, "How do I know? Guan Yu has been dead for more than a thousand years, maybe Guan Yu's descendants wandered to Lanzhou, maybe it's just to use his name to strengthen his reputation, in short, he is very powerful." If you want to find someone in the northwest, you can find these two people directly, they will definitely be able to do it if they have a big face and a wide connection. ”

Ye Feng nodded, but then his face showed bitterness: "These two people are important characters in the rivers and lakes, and they don't know each other, will they be willing to help us find someone?"

Zhang Fatzi glanced at him: "Of course people for no reason will not be willing to help us, but don't forget, you still have an old acquaintance in Lanzhou." ”

Ye Feng was stunned, he had never been to the northwest in his life, let alone any old acquaintances, where did he start?

Zhang Fatzi and Xie Zhenliang glanced at each other and said, "Forget about people so quickly? When you were in Huashan, people even sent people to save you." ”

Ye Feng immediately understood that the old acquaintance in Zhang Fatzi's mouth must be referring to Ma Jing, the eunuch who led the Black Armor Guard to Gansu to serve as a supervisor of the army.

When they were in Huashan, Ye Feng and Tang Da were surrounded by thunderstorm clouds from the Great Thunder Gate, and if it weren't for the black armor guard sergeant sent by Ma Jing to rush to the rescue in time, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

Zhang Fatzi said: "Ma Jing and Uncle Ye have always been good friends, and now he is in Lanzhou as a prisoner, and he has great power, if he is willing to come forward, Guan Siye and Mr. Huangyue will definitely give this face." ”

Ye Feng is actually not familiar with Ma Jing, and most of his friendship with his father should be due to the fact that his father is the commander of the Jinyi Guard and is the emperor's confidant. Most of the eunuchs in the palace are extremely snobbish, and now that my father has lost his position and lost his official position, I wonder if this Ma Jing is still willing to help now?

Thinking about it, Ye Feng couldn't care about it so much, so he could only try it first.

He stood up and said to the people in the room: "I decided to go to Lanzhou to visit this Fu Shuangling, and then I may go deep into the desert to find the ancient country of Loulan.

After speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone.

It made sense for him to be so polite all of a sudden, facing the strange northwest frontier and the vast desert, and he didn't know what kind of danger awaited them in front of him, although he needed the help of these friends at this time, but he still had to consult their own wishes.

Anyway, Ye Feng had already thought about it, in order to be able to figure out the secret hidden by this mysterious dragon pattern on his body, he had to go.

The first to speak was the, he actually didn't understand what Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi were talking about just now, what Loulan Ancient Kingdom, what Fu Jiezi was talking about, but none of this mattered.

He stood up and said loudly: "Where the son goes, I will go!"

Zhang Fatzi snorted and moved his round fat body: "I haven't been to the northwest yet, such a fun thing, plus it can solve the historical mystery of a thousand years ago, how can I be missing?"

Xie Zhenliang looked at Ye Feng with a smile: "My father was degraded to the state, I have nothing to worry about in Beijing, and my father has repeatedly told me to repay your kindness by your side, so naturally I want to go." ”

Ye Feng glanced at them gratefully, and then looked at the two girls sitting behind.

Tang Rou shrugged her shoulders: "Ah Da told me to follow you to protect you, I won't let you run so far to adventure by yourself, besides, who will protect your safety without this girl?"

And Cheng Nianzhen, who was beside her, just sighed faintly and said, "I'll go and see if your medicine is ready, it's almost time for you to take it." ”

With that, she got up and walked out. This attitude has been very clear, you still have residual poison in your body, and you have to take medicine every day, how can you leave me?

Ye Feng looked at the group of good brothers and good friends in front of him with gratitude, and suddenly felt a little choked, with them behind him, what kind of sword and sea of fire would not dare to break through?
