Since ancient times, Chang'an West Wind and Rain Chapter 96 There are new people in the country
Su Yongqiu finally walked out of the Qingzhu Sword Academy, the last time he walked out of the Ten Courtyard should have been a few years ago, right? It could also be more than ten years ago......
As the sentence said, he, like Mo Zhifeng, is already a person who has withdrawn from history, and he can retire in Qingzhu Sword Academy because of the gift given to him by the emperor back then. If it weren't for Xu Changfeng, he wouldn't have taken half a step out of the Sword Courtyard even if he died.
Walking on Suzaku Street, an old man and a young man, the old man was dressed in a simple and thin green shirt, walking peacefully in the cold wind. The seventeen-year-old boy who followed him was dressed in a thick gray coarse cloth coat, and even though his palms were a little red from the cold, he still held a dark green short sword.
It is already late winter, and it will not be long before spring returns to the season of awakening all things on the earth. Even so, the wind in Chang'an is still cold and biting. Speaking of which, Chang'an has not seen the sun for a month or two, and the depressing days are upsetting.
The two lined up in front of Anhua Gate, as the so-called easy to enter the city and difficult to get out of the city, plus Chang'an City has not been peaceful recently, and the imperial court has also increased the intensity of the review of the city pass, and cannot let go of a rebel. Looking from afar, a few traces of sword qi can still be found on the stone wall of the city pass, and many people guess that there was a fierce battle here, but they don't know who is fighting with whom.
"Senior Su!"
At this moment, a man in golden armor and a scaly sword at his waist walked over. As soon as the man approached, he immediately attracted the attention of the pedestrians around him. Merchants who often go in and out of Chang'an will not know the origin of this golden-armored man.
He is the commander of the Chang'an Forbidden Army, Shen Binglin.
"Senior Su, why are you here?"
Shen Binglin looked at Su Yongqiu with a surprised expression and bowed respectfully at him. Although he is a soldier in the army, he has performed such a great gift of master and apprentice, even if Su Yongqiu and him do not have a master-apprentice fate, it can be seen that Su Yongqiu's status in his heart.
"I'll accompany Xu Changfeng out of the city. Su Yongqiu looked at Shen Binglin and nodded with satisfaction. When he was still the dean, Shen Binglin was a student he admired the most, and the latter did not live up to his expectations, and finally rose to the seventh rank in strength and became the commander of the Chang'an Forbidden Army. For an old man who has lived for a hundred years, it is content to be able to see the demeanor of his student before he dies.
"This is Xu Changfeng?"
Shen Binglin looked at the young man who followed Su Yongqiu with a look of surprise, the young man's immature face exuded a sense of grandeur, even if he knew that he was the commander of the forbidden army, he still did not have the slightest fear. It's just that for some reason, Shen Binglin always felt that Xu Changfeng's eyes contained all the hidden meanings in them.
Xu Changfeng bowed his waist slightly, and said to Shen Binglin: "Xu Changfeng has seen Senior Brother Shen. ”
Shen Binglin, like Situ Yu, who had died, was a student of the Qingzhu Sword Academy. It's just that Shen Binglin's achievements in cultivation are far higher than Situ Yu's.
"Senior Su, come with me, and I'll take you out of the city. Shen Binglin said, leading Su Yongqiu towards the side gate under the city gate. This is a passage that only court officials can walk, and it is not open to ordinary people. If Su Yongqiu and the others wait in line again, I am afraid that they will have to wait in line for half an hour before they can leave the city.
"Senior Su, do you need the students to arrange a carriage escort?" Shen Binglin said with concern, he wanted to say that he would send a few more soldiers to accompany him, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel that this was a bit redundant. Who is Senior Su, and can a mere little thief hurt him?
Su Yongqiu shook his head, "We have already rented a carriage, and it is just outside the city. ”
Shen Binglin didn't say anything anymore, and took Su Yongqiu and the two through the passage that was only open to court officials, and none of the soldiers on the side dared to say more than half a word, all curious about the identity of this white-haired old man, who could let the forbidden army commander escort him so respectfully.
Su Yongqiu's name has long faded out of the memory of the world, and this is a historical cycle that cannot be changed. Just like Wei Qijian today, imagine how many people will remember him in eighty years?
There are new people in the country, and there is never a shortage of heroic sons and daughters in this river and lake.
Su Yongqiu and the others said goodbye to Shen Binglin, walked on the official road, and walked in the direction of Chang'an Station.
Walking on the road, Su Yongqiu couldn't help but whisper: "You don't seem to like Shen Binglin very much. ”
"Is there one?" Xu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say helplessly, "Maybe it always makes me feel a little uncomfortable around him......"
"That's just as well. Su Yongqiu nodded, "Being in the position of the commander of the forbidden army, you naturally have a bit of majesty and domineering, whether you are facing enemies or people who are officials in the same dynasty. The higher you stand, the more brilliant you will be, and the more tired you will be. ”
Xu Changfeng frowned, stopped talking, and walked silently with his head down.
Su Yongqiu was right, he was indeed a little prejudiced against this Shen Binglin. Because he will never forget that it was he who broke through the Sky Sword Village with that sword ten years ago! Even if he was only acting on orders, his sword took many lives and took away his home......
Su Yongqiu also said half a sentence: the higher he stands, the more painful he falls.
The two came to Chang'an Station and got into the carriage that Su Yongqiu had rented in advance.
"Where are we going?" asked Xu Changfeng in a low voice in the carriage.
"Ninghai County. Su Yongqiu said softly, "The news of Canghaizhu's appearance has already spread throughout the East China Sea, but no one dares to really say that they have obtained Canghaizhu." According to a letter from an old friend of mine, there is a local indigenous Zuo family in Ninghai County, and the current head of the family, Zuo Gu, accidentally got the Canghai Pearl in the East China Sea a few days ago, and in a few days it will be his father's 90th birthday, and he wants to give this Canghai Pearl to his father on the day of his birthday. Of course, it is not claimed to the outside world that this is a pearl of the sea, but a pearl of fixing face. ”
It is said that after the formation of the pearl, the giant clam will spit out the pearl and let it float in the sea, waiting for someone to find it. Therefore, at the beginning of this year, countless cultivators rushed to the East China Sea just to find the pearl of the sea. And more people are secretly watching, such as Su Yongqiu and Xu Changfeng, they just wait for someone to find it, and then they can rob it.
Xu Changfeng asked puzzledly: "What is the background of this Zuo family? Since you have obtained Canghaizhu, why don't you use it in private, and make such a big show, this is not clear to tell others that Canghaizhu is in my hands, and if you have the ability, you can grab it on the day of your birthday." ”
"Because behind the Zuo family, there is a backer who no one dares to provoke easily in Jiangnan. Su Yongqiu said lightly.
Xu Changfeng's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Dingjiang Palace!"
"Not bad!" Su Yongqiu nodded, "His Majesty the Emperor had just given him the title of King of Wendingjiang in Jiangbei, and the Jiangnan region was still in turmoil at that time, and the name of Dingjiang Wangfu was not as valuable as it is now. So Jiangbeiwen recruited talents and asked the indigenous forces in Jiangnan to help him pacify the Jiangnan region. Among them, the Zuo family was the first aboriginal to respond to the call of Jiangbei Wen at that time. Subsequently, the Zuo family also grew stronger because of the support of the Dingjiang Palace. In today's Ninghai County, almost all of them are the Zuo family. There are even rumors that Ninghai Zhixian never dared to shake his head in front of Zuo Gu Nian, and he couldn't say a word. ”
"In this way, it is not an easy thing for us to snatch the Canghai Pearl from the Zuo family......" Xu Changfeng said, his eyes grateful. Su Yongqiu was already in his twilight years, but he still traveled thousands of miles to Ninghai for him, and he had to tear his face with Ninghai's Zuo family, which was too costly.
Although the Qingzhu Sword Academy is very famous, but it is in the south of the Yangtze River, will the Zuo family's own territory be afraid of the worthless name of the Qingzhu Sword Academy?
"Don't worry. Su Yongqiu seemed to see Xu Changfeng's knot, and couldn't help but smile, "Even if I am old now, I will not be afraid of him taking care of the year." If it was a few decades ago, I only needed a sword to bring Canghaizhu out of Ninghai County unimpeded. It's a pity that people will always get old. If you live for a long time, many things will be taken lightly......"
Xu Changfeng looked at Su Yongqiu, and said with a straight face as if he had made a promise: "Uncle Su, I will definitely go to the Stars Club, even if I only have a first-order cultivation, I will fight again." ”
When Su Yongqiu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh happily. After meeting Xu Changfeng, he smiled almost half of his life.
"Since you have this heart, I will also try my best to help you solve the meridian problem. Su Yongqiu whispered, "If you can enter the Xuandao list, I will be lucky enough to meet Mr. Qin in the future, and I can also boast in front of him." ”
"Xuandao List?" Xu Changfeng thought secretly in his heart.
The stars will rank in the top twenty-five to enter the Xuandao list, but the Xuandao list is just an imaginary name, and it is not as valuable as the Tianzi list. Wei Qijian once told him that the real treasure of the Stars Club is to enter the top three......
