Chapter 69: Lu Miaozi

On November 25, the twelfth year of the industry, Lin Shihong was beheaded

On November 26, the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Liu Zi, who had been greatly injured in the war, reviewed the situation and surrendered

The government hall was ordered to prepare for the enthronement ceremony

——

In the southwest of Jingling County, the two tributaries of the Yangtze River, Zhangshui and Fushui, delineate a large triangular fertile plain, and the two rivers flow through it, irrigate the fertile fields on both sides, and finally merge into the river. /.īŧąÎ’īŧ•、cīŊīŊ/

The climate here is mild, the soil is fertile, the products are abundant, and the fields where the Pegasus Ranch is located are particularly rich in pastures, surrounded by mountains, surrounded by fertile fields, and only two gorges in the east and west can be entered and exited. The situation is dangerous, forming a natural screen for the pasture.

Five hundred cavalry stepped forward, and it was already the 10th of December, and the sky was covered with feathery snow.

Luo Shixin took a step forward and said: "Lord, please listen to the minister, you are tied to the army of 100,000 in the six counties, how can you be so white-rowaned? ”

"Shi Xinqing, you have said this a few times, but this is really important, there are few horses in the south, this horse farm is really an important bargaining chip in the future to compete for the world, you can't take it lightly, I have been busy with the military before, and now the overall situation in the south has been decided, so I have some spare time and have to come here." Zhang Xuanning said with a smile.

"In this case, please follow the minister. ”

"Yes, that's fine. ”

Zhang Xuanning looked straight at the castle on the higher ground in the northwest, leaning on the steep cliff like a cliff, and facing a small river winding like a belt in front of him, which made people even more breathtaking. It is noted that it is built in the sentry tower bunker at the key and key places, there is a city tower at the exit of the gorge, and the pit that is three zhang wide and five zhang deep is dug in front of the building, and the mouth of the gorge is crossed, and the bottom is full of spikes, and it is necessary to pass by the suspension bridge. There is indeed a husband who is in charge, and it is difficult for ten thousand people to cross.

However, this can stop the army, but it can't stop the first-class masters.

Waiting until late at night, the two turned over and entered the ranch and entered the inner fort, although the Pegasus Ranch has a large number of war horses, but it is not a military organization after all, so from a professional point of view. There are also loopholes everywhere.

But the terrain is really good, the city wall is built according to the mountain, built with a thunderbolt, and the situation is steep and steep along the ups and downs of the terrain. The rock behind the city is exposed, the cave is grand, and it is difficult for birds to cross, so the two of them used iron claws to break through.

After entering the city. It is a wide ramp that extends upwards to the inner fort, the highest place where the owner lives, and the houses on both sides are continuous, and they are connected to the ramp by branch roads, which is characteristic of a mountain town. The buildings are all rough and simple, built of stones, and the shape is magnificent. Along the way, the bell pavilion, the archway, the door is heavy, and the simplicity shows the heroic spirit of the city builder.

The inner fort is even more large-scale, the main building has five halls, and there is a side hall corridor. The large hut is in an orderly manner, and the castle is decorated with garden flowers and trees. The small bridge and waterfall are elegant and pleasant.

Zhang Xuanning did not go to the heavily guarded city lord's palace, but to a garden.

After a closer look, I found a garden, and the best thing was that there was a corridor that extended into the garden. The depth of field is widened, resulting in a verandah running through the beautiful scenery of the garden, and a lotus pond on the left, in the center of which a hexagonal pavilion is built, which is connected to the shore by a small bridge.

Although it was a winter night and there was a light snowfall, it was still amazing for its ingenuity.

With such a pen, this person must also, Zhang Xuanning is overjoyed. Through the left bend and right bend, the corridor of the beautiful scenery on both sides emerges endlessly, after passing through a bamboo forest, the sound of the water is loud, the original end is a square pavilion, the front is a hundred zhang high cliff, a waterfall falls down to the cliff, the momentum is compelling, if it is not separated by the bamboo forest. The sound of a thunderous waterfall can be heard in the courtyard.

Although Luo Shixin was vigilant, he saw this. I can't help but be amazed.

Walk along the gravel path, all the way, turn left and right, and suddenly open up in front of you, on the platform near the cliff, there is a two-story building, the situation is dangerous.

At this time, the second floor is still revealed, showing that this building is not only inhabited, but also has not yet been bed.

Approaching the second floor, he deliberately lowered his steps, and sure enough, an old male voice came down from upstairs and said, "Now that your guests are here, why don't you come up and meet the old man?"

Why does the room be big, the fragrance of flowers is not much, Zhang Xuanning smiled dumbly, put down the big stone in his heart, and knew that this time he had already reached half of his goal.

Zhang Xuanning's demeanor is calm, in the eyes of those who want to be the Son of Heaven, the world is his, so no matter where he goes, he is the real landlord, and he should naturally be calm, and Luo Shi was shocked in confidence, before he made a sound just now, he didn't even feel that there was someone in the building, which had aroused his vigilance and held the handle of the knife.

When the two walked past the plaque engraved with "Comfort Nest" on the main entrance, although it was night, they could also see that there was a couplet hanging on the two beams and pillars at the entrance, which was written on the wooden plaque, "The morning should be tuned, the evening should be drummed; "The font is dusty and powerful.

This hall is the architectural form of the four-sided hall, through the four-sided flower windows, the precipice that the plants behind the cover are precipitous, and the surrounding swaying and soft fences are faintly penetrated into the hall, and it seems that the mahogany furniture in the furnishings is thick and unpretentious, leisurely and natural. At the corner of the house, there is a staircase made of Nanmu that leads to the upper floor.

The old man's voice came down again: "Two of you, please!"

Zhang Xuanning climbed the stairs and saw that the upper floor was divided into two rooms before and after the screen, one side had a round table and square chairs, and the other side should be the master's bedroom.

An old man with a broad crown and a wide robe, he looked at the two of them carefully for a moment before he said softly: "I didn't expect that in the night, the king would come."

This is Zhang Xuanning, the governor of Wuzhou, and please sit down and taste the old liquid. ”

Of course, this is Lu Miaozi, treating the two of them much more politely, he personally lifted the wine jug and filled three glasses.

Only then did the two realize that there were wine glasses and other wine utensils on the table, and the aroma of wine was overflowing. Under the reflection of the two hanging palace lamps, there are only a few necessary pieces of furniture except for the tables and chairs, all of which are made of sour branch wood, which is elegant and noble.

"Why does Uncle Shi bother to see me, doesn't Uncle Shi know that I am the grandson of the Duke of Wei? Zhang Xuanning stepped forward and bowed deeply.

The old man has a very special face, simple and clumsy. His long, dark eyebrows stretched to his sideburns, but the other end was joined together on the bridge of his ears, contrasting with his deep eagle eyes. Melancholy wrinkles appeared at the corners of his mouth and under his eyes, giving him a look of reluctance, exhaustion, and sadness.

The bridge of his nose was as straight and powerful as his waist, and with his naturally proudly closed lips and slender and clean face, it seemed as if he had enjoyed all the riches and glory of the world. But now the princes and nobles who are as dead as ashes.

After a moment of silence, he said softly: "I was an assistant to Wei Guogong back then, Wei Guogong's great cause was not successful, I am also depressed, and the virtuous nephew please roll up your clothes and let me see your arms." ”

Zhang Xuanning certainly understood his body, and immediately rolled up his left hand, and sure enough, he saw one on his upper arm.

"If it's you, Xuangan has many wives and concubines. You were born to eleven concubines, and there are many brothers and sisters on it, but I didn't expect that now you are the only one alive. ”

"Lord!" Seeing Zhang Xuanning pick up the wine, Luo Shixin hurriedly whispered, how can a king drink this kind of wine and food that has not been inspected?

"It doesn't matter. Zhang Xuanning picked up a cup. drank it all, and then said to Luo Shixin: "Qing also sat down to drink, in this place, there is no need to be bound by the courtesy of the monarch and ministers." ”

"Yes, my lord. Luo Shixin sat down.

The fruit is brewed into the throat, the wine is mellow, soft and refreshing, and the most rare thing is that the aroma is rich and harmonious, and the aftertaste is long.

Lu Miaozi said indifferently: "This wine is made from six kinds of fresh fruits: pomegranate, grape, orange, mountain residue, green plum and pineapple. Then put it in wooden barrels and bury it for three years to get it, and it tastes good!"

Zhang Xuanning praised heartily and said: "Uncle Shi is proficient in architecture, crafts, gardens, formations, and pharmacy. Unexpectedly, he is also good at winemaking, which makes the little nephew really admire. ”

"It's nothing more than a broad but not refined, the virtuous nephew is young, but he has achieved the first-rate realm in martial arts, and the prosperity of the essence is better than ordinary people, has the virtuous nephew already taken the treasure of Yang Gong?" Lu Miaozi shook his head and sighed: "I am quite proficient in the art of appearance, you saw it when you were young, it was nothing more than idleness, and now you are white." There is also purple gas filling the roots of the mountain, and it already has the appearance of a king, which is really incredible. ”

His gaze slowly swept over the two of them, and he said with a slight smile: "Before I died, I was really happy to be able to see the old man, and the virtuous nephew also got the inheritance of the sword, which is really gratifying, do you know." You killed Lin Shihong, who is it?"

The two shook their heads blankly. It's just that Zhang Xuanning deliberately pretended to be like this.

Lu Miaozi was exhausted, but his expression was full of joy: "Lin Shihong is a master of the Yin Sect, and he is also the most important layout of the Demon Gate in the south, I didn't expect to give you such an easy cut, this is really your qi." ”

The two looked at each other when they heard this, and Zhang Xuanning said: "On the battlefield, the role of the master is not so great, oh, why did Uncle Shi say this, was he injured?"

Lu Miaozi nodded and said: "This is thirty years ago when I was injured by the earth, I was injured by the Queen of Yin, although her Heavenly Demon Skills are known as the crown of the evil sect, she still can't take my life, let me use the mountainous terrain to escape thousands of miles away and hide here." For 30 years, I have devoted all my energy here to building gardens, and without this sustenance, I am afraid that I would have died of injuries early. But in the past few days, I always recall the old hatred from time to time, which is a harbinger of the recurrence of the injury, and the old man is afraid that his time is running out, and it is difficult to do anything anymore, and he just wants to ignore everything and live his last days in peace. ”

I know that you two have come here to have a plan, but I'm dying, and your plan is in vain.

"I see, if Uncle Shi is in good health, can he go out of the mountain with me? Uncle Shi, now the overall situation in the world, I don't have to go into detail, I have won six counties, and I have obtained the treasure of Yang Gong, and I can have 100,000 troops in a blink of an eye, besides, the overall situation will change next year, and it is idle to have more than a dozen counties next year, but the so-called big thing is accomplishing, and I ask Uncle Shi to help me. Zhang Xuanning said for a long time, seemingly unmoved by the news at all.

Lu Miaozi stared at him for a long time, then glanced at Luo Shixin again, and then sighed and said: "You have a fierce general in your hand, and you have obtained the geography of the heavens, and then you have the treasure of Yang Gong, the earth can indeed be successful, do you want to use the Yuan essence in the evil emperor's relics to help me? ”

"Exactly, I have removed the shackles of the Yuan Jing of the Evil Emperor Relic, as long as Uncle Shi moves up the day, he can absorb the Yuan Essence, stimulate vitality, and continue his life, how could Uncle Shi die early?" Zhang Xuanning said: "Besides, Zhu Yuyan's matter, Uncle Shi must come to break the cause and effect!"

Speaking of this, Lu Miaozi seemed to be nostalgic for the old things, and with a sad look on her face, she paused. Speaking:

I recover, and I am not Zhu Yuyan's opponent, I have a limited life, to knowledge. You can't specialize in martial arts. ”

Then he showed a smile and said: "And the world is looking for me, just for Yang Gong's treasure, you have it now, what else do you want to let me, an old man, out of the mountain?"

Zhang Xuanning deeply felt his contradictory mood, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi is too thin on himself, let's not talk about it." Uncle Shi has been here for 20 years, what has he learned?"

Lu Miaozi smiled: "In the past 30 years, I have only been fascinated by the seven aspects of gardening, architecture, organs, weapons, history, geography and mathematics. However, the study of gardens and architecture is not the old man's favorite thing, only because he lost a game of chess to Qingya, he was forced to fulfill the gambling contract, build a garden and afforestation here, and design a pavilion. ”

sighed gloomily: "If it weren't for this, the old man might have died of remorse." When will I repay what I owe you?"

Seeing Zhang Xuanning looking at him suspiciously, he explained: "Qingya is Xiuxun's mother!"

Zhang Xuanning didn't like this Qingya name very much. Because it sounds like there is some kind of connection with a certain nun, but knowing that Lu Miaozi and Shang Xiuxun's mother must have an unusual relationship, after thinking about it, he said slowly: "Pegasus Ranch, what does it have to do with the saint?"

Lu Miaozi pondered for a while, revealing an unbelievable expression, looked at him for a long time, slowly stood up again, moved to the window, and looked at the steep rock wall opposite the cliff. Then he said in a deep voice: "The virtuous nephew is indeed good, and he has broken the sky in one word, although Shang Xiong, the owner of the Pegasus Ranch who built this castle in the first generation, was a military general at the end of the Jin Dynasty, and Liu Yu changed his name to Song on behalf of Jin. The world was divided, Shang Xiong in order to avoid the disaster of war, led his men and clansmen to the south, and found this hidden valley by coincidence, so he lived and worked here in peace and contentment, and established a pasture, but it was limited to the scale of the ranch, and it has not developed much, and the horses are nothing more than thousands, until now when he is the king of Jin. In order to compete for the world, a game was set up in the south, which was to control the Pegasus Ranch, and the scale of the Pegasus Ranch had only changed from a few thousand horses in the past to about 30,000 horses now. How can you raise so many horses?"

Lu Miaozi pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "It was originally for the sake of failing in the battle for the throne. You can also start an incident in the south, but then you win the battle, you don't need it, you can't think of it now, although the saint has gone to the south, but he is trapped in Jiangdu, and the horses are useless. ”

"In this way, Shang Xiuxun is the princess of the Holy Land?"

Lu Miaozi sighed and said, "Maybe, but the virtuous nephew came this time, not only for the old age, but also for the pasture, right?"

Zhang Xuanning said indifferently: "Pegasus Ranch is in the south, which has changed the strategic pattern, so it is imperative, no matter who Shang Xiuxun is or whose daughter he is, I will marry him, this is already the best result." ”

"What if Shang Xiuxun refuses?" asked Lu Miaozi.

Zhang Xuanning said puzzledly: "What else is there to ask? The husband is not guilty, he is guilty, even if the little nephew does not do this, there are still other people who do this, Shang Xiuxun married me, and has the origin of the uncle, she will not be wronged, otherwise, if she becomes a big thing, how can she be moved by women, and naturally she should do what she should do, and she will do it." ”

Lu Miaozi's whole body was shocked, and his eyes shot an unprecedented cold light, but he saw Zhang Xuanning looking at him calmly, and he was not ashamed at all, and after looking at him for a while, he sighed and said: "You say this kind of thing about killing people and taking away their property, but it is so righteous and awe-inspiring, but it is justifiable, it is really the so-called kingly bearing, it seems that if I don't agree, it will not work." ”

Zhang Xuanning's words are actually very simple, if you don't help me, it will be Shang Xiuxun who will suffer, I am determined to kill, and I will only take the path I should take.

Zhang Xuanning smiled: "Uncle Shi is so the best, I have already brought relics, Uncle Shi found a safe place and absorbed it." ”

After a pause, he said: "Although Shang Xiuxun is not polite to you on the surface, in fact, he is your father in his heart, I invite Uncle Shi to come, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is indispensable, and please take care of several things in the future." ”

Lu Miaozi sighed, got up, moved to a bookcase, reached into the inside, I don't know what mechanism was touched, "rolling" sound, a three-foot square stone in the center of the hall collapsed, just became the top of the stone steps below, and then said tiredly: "Go down!"

As he spoke, the leader stepped down the stone steps, and the two of them followed him down, stepping down the two-zhang long staircase.

Below is a three-foot square basement, with two large camphor wood boxes on one side, ten delicate wooden boxes on the other side, and seven or eight oddly shaped things that seem to be weapons on the walls on the four sides. The air in the basement is only slightly cloudier than above, indicating that there are good ventilation facilities.

The copper pot was taken out, the relics appeared, and Zhang Xuanning smiled: "Uncle Shi can absorb half of what still exists, and the other half is given to the evil king." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Lu Miaozi was shocked again, and even a person like him felt Zhang Xuanning's unfathomable profundity and terrifyingness, and he said for a long time: "The virtuous nephew really has a heart." ”

Zhang Xuanning let out a sneer, whether it was Lu Miaozi or the Evil King, to some extent, he could look down and look down.
