Volume 1: Breaking the Sky Chapter 5 Departure
The people of the empire were open, and it was a private conversation in the military tent late at night, but hearing this, Ma Shixiang's face couldn't help but become nervous and difficult to look at.
The woman with a noble status entered Weicheng, how cautious and nervous he was, where did he think that Luo Fan actually made such an evaluation in Lala, his identity information had already been revealed, and he thought that Luo Fan's evaluation was not fair, so his face was even more ugly.
Everyone knows that the fourth princess of Great Qin is not an idiot, but an extremely virtuous highness.
With the strength of Great Qin's national strength and the prosperity of his troops, whether it is facing the grassland barbarians or the rest of the Central Plains, he will never consider that there will be other countries that will be unfavorable to Princess Great Qin. Even if it doesn't matter if the identity doesn't matter, can they still dare to be disadvantageous to Princess Daqin. If he behaves like this, he is not afraid that Daqin will wave his troops and destroy his country.
Although Great Qin established the country by force, the people were simple and brave, and he could be called the most powerful country in the world, and he cared most about dignity, but if he wanted to completely eliminate the grass barbarians, he was afraid that he would lose most of his national strength, and he did not want to destroy it rather than not being able to destroy it.
It seems impossible to plunge the empire into turmoil and hardship because of an attack on a princess, but in fact, in the history of Great Qin, there are often stories that can be said to be willful and arrogant.
One of the most famous examples occurred in Taizu's later years.
At that time, a certain part of the grassland slaughtered a village and town in Baiyang Road, and one hundred and forty villagers were beheaded and killed. Taizu was furious, and immediately decided to personally conquer the grassland, and the entire empire mobilized to support a vast iron cavalry composed of 80,000 cavalry to conquer the north.
After fighting for several months, slaughtering the enemy's horses, it seems to be a simple description, and it seems to be a chic and beautiful ending, but it hides the terrible price paid by the Great Qin Empire.
In order to support this costly war, the imperial court sent millions of people, requisitioned livestock from the three counties of the river and the road, the fields around Minshan were deserted, ten rooms and nine were empty, the taxes in the south quadrupled, the people's resentment was boiling, the officials of the DPRK and China were simply unable to take care of political affairs, and the world fell into the danger of turmoil and even collapse.
The most wonderful temperament of the Great Qin Empire was presented in this most dangerous moment and in the countless years that followed.
When the Imperial Iron Cavalry went on an expedition to the wasteland, the anti-thief rebels in the south did not take this opportunity to increase their offensive, and even sneaked back into the mountains, forests and lakes one after another, as if they didn't want to drag the empire back at this time. The rebellious reckless, perhaps not everyone thinks about the so-called national righteousness, and perhaps some of them want to seize this God-given opportunity, but they have to face the reality that many of the low-level leaders and soldiers in the rebel army, who usually silently support them, have expressed their fiercest opposition with their feet and silence when they decide to seize this opportunity.
Emperor Taizu, who won this battle, did not have a high historical status, even within the empire. Whether in the history books or in the story of the storyteller in the restaurant, the evaluation of this male lord is often inseparable from the great joy, the use of villains, the cool law, the pursuit of immortality and no way, and so on.
But whether it was the most pedantic literati, the most disregarding the monarchy, or the most hated peasant merchants, they would find all sorts of reasons to scold the founding emperor, but no one ever thought that the war that exhausted the country's strength and made the people suffer because of the king's anger should not be fought.
Because from the founding of the country to the present, the people living in this land have always adhered to and guarded a simple truth: I don't bully you, but you don't want to bully me, even if I bully you, but ...... Still don't try to bully me!
Whoever bullies me, I will hit him.
This is the foundation of the Great Qin Empire.
This is the path of the Great Qin Empire to become a strong country.
This is why the most powerful country in the world is called Qin.
So the princess is not an idiot at all, on the contrary, in order to study, she resolutely dares to cross the territory to study in a different place, which is a kind of courage and a kind of responsibility.
Of course, for some reason, Tianshan Academy, as the most powerful and erudite academy in the world, chose to build its academy in Tianshan for some reason, which discouraged many people.
The barbarians are too vicious.
There are many barbarians in the steppe.
The reason why Great Qin is called Great Qin is based on these simple and powerful things.
Luo Fan is not a typical Qin person. He often seems not brave enough on the battlefield, and he does not have the fierce strength to die and burn down his house Tu Yile, I believe that even if he lives in Weicheng for a long time, it is impossible to write a life drama from a beggar to a general.
He is like a speck of dust, so inconspicuous, and so life-saving, he always thinks that his current life is not his, it is Li Yixue's, and the purpose of his life is to find an opportunity to wake up Li Yixue.
He didn't stay in the army for a long time, but it was also half a year, and he could accurately grasp the precious or terrifying temperament of the Qin people in this era, so when he found the arrows on the princess's convoy, he immediately deduced some headaches - the princess had been attacked when she first arrived in Weicheng, and this was still in the territory of Daqin. To be a guide, one is to thank Ma Shixiang for his kindness, and the other is to be able to form a good relationship before going to Tianshan Academy, and it is more convenient to act.
"The fourth princess is about to go out of the border and enter the grassland now, and she can be attacked near Weicheng, why? Because she knows very well that without the nod of some big people in the capital, the barbarians on the grassland would not dare to commit murder against her...... There are no more than four, and those four are even characters that she can't even mess with as a princess. ”
"Although this is only a dispute between the upper echelons of the empire, although it doesn't have much to do with the general, if it happens in Weicheng or the surrounding areas, what will the general do to face the imperial court, so this guide should be the most suitable for me, you have to think about it, only I am the most life-sparing. Ma Shixiang looked at the seemingly humble young man, rubbed his head and said in a muffled voice: "You have to think of yourself so well, you have to be so proud." But you are not trying to convince me, but that it may be more appropriate for the nobleman to convince me. ”
Luo Fan laughed twice and replied: "After all, I am about to go to the students of Tianshan Academy, and I am with her, I believe that there will be no problem with the order you give." ”
Ma Shixiang didn't continue to make fun of the child, and after a moment of silence, he frowned and said, "Let you go and be a guide for the princess's convoy, in fact, they have already agreed." But you must not be sloppy on this road, you must bring the princess safely to the academy, if you can't bring it, your academy disciples may have to be invalid. ”
"In the past six months, you have been staying in Weicheng Biansai, and you should have heard some legends of the academy, but you don't mean that you know exactly what kind of place it is. ”
The general's expression was solemn and serious: "In the hearts of our Great Qin soldiers and people, and even among all the people in this world, the academy is the most sacred and noble place that cannot be violated. In the history of the academy, it has never participated in the war of the country, nor has it been under the control of the monarchy, and it is completely independent of the world. ”
The general, whose hair was already gray, turned his words around and said bitterly: "You want to cultivate those worldly methods, although everyone wants to help you, but they are also very helpless, even if you search all over Weicheng, or even the entire border, we can't find you a teacher, we can only watch you turn the Taishang induction book into tatters and rotten, but we don't have any ideas." ”
"But now is an opportunity!"
Ma Shixiang's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Whether it is the academy or the old man surnamed Lu, you must grasp it, and you must catch it, so there must be no deviation on this journey." ”
Luo Fan was silent for a long time, lowered his head and sighed softly: "Actually...... I'm still a little reluctant to give you up."
The starlight outside the window was faint, Ma Shixiang looked at the young man and said, "Weicheng...... After all, you are too young, you should go to the academy to study first, and then go to those real big worlds to see, maybe there are many fierce dragons and tigers in those places, but who are you really afraid of as a newborn calf?"
There is a small ditch in the south of Weicheng that is not even a small stream, there is a small dirt slope next to the small ditch that is not even a hill, and there is a thatched hut with a fence and a stone lawn that is not even a small courtyard under the small soil slope, and Luofan is very reluctant to stand next to this hut.
"Let's go, you're here to be a guide, not for you to come to the former residence," the maid shouted with disgust, I don't understand that the princess finally agreed to choose Luo Fan to be the guide to the Tianshan Mountains, and I really don't know how the Tianshan Academy could take a fancy to this ruffian boy, maybe it's because of his excellent housework, he found the past to be a servant, and he also killed some barbarians, so he was the caretaker of the current courtyard?
Luo Yi pulled his shoes and walked slowly, looking at this noble maid who did not want to see him, after leaving, it may be difficult to come back, and it would be good to leave some more memories.
Li Yixue is waiting for me, I am about to step into the Tianshan Academy, one is the cultivation method, and the other is the Qianye Ice Lotus.
