Sixty-four: The legend of Xiapi, the chatter time in the carriage
Chapter 64
"But then again, is our white tiger suit really that valuable? Will it be a loss?" Liu Cong didn't look like the boss was losing money.
"Haha, this is just the way the owner of the Jianye Embassy operates. Wei Shujin said with a smile.
"What kind of business is this?" Fan Shijin knew very little about this business matter.
"Although the workmanship of this white tiger suit belongs to the upper class, it is not so precious. The smiling Buddha shopkeeper of the embassy announced to the world that all those who found the clothes of Xuanwu, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Qinglong would be rewarded! This made the Jianye Embassy famous, and second, it gave these people who ran cloth shops a livelihood. ”
After all, Wei Shujin grew up in Jianye, so he naturally has some understanding of things in Jianye.
"Wonderful, it's just killing two birds with one stone! This person's methods are really superb!" Xiong Jingyi listened to his words, and admired the embassy shopkeeper a little more.
Just as a few people were talking and laughing, Uncle Wei led a few people to the door of a carriage station.
"Yo, you're back again!" The little guy in the store hurriedly came out to greet Uncle Wei when he saw him.
"Is the carriage I ordered ready?" asked Uncle Wei.
"That must be a proper arrangement for the master!" the little guy waved back after speaking.
This storefront is a piece of land enclosed by a wooden fence, and the more ingenious thing is that this storefront has multiple entrances, and the returning carriage enters the stable through the back door to change grass and drink, rest and rectify. Then another carriage goes out through the front door, and this is repeated, so that there will be no congestion in this storefront.
A few people saw that the stable had small carriages for one person and large carriages for many people, but there were significantly more of them, and there were only one or two large carriages for use.
"My lords, it's your carriage!" said the servant.
Then a large carriage came out of the stable, still composed of two horses and two coachmen.
"Everybody go up first, and I'll be on my side in a moment. Uncle Wei stretched out his hand and asked a few Shu envoys to go up.
The coachman also hurriedly got out of the car to help a few guest officers get into the car, the carriage was the same as the previous carriage in Weifu, which could accommodate six to seven people.
When the curtain was opened, Uncle Wei had already given the money to the little guy, and rode to the side of the carriage.
"How comfortable are you inside?" said Wei Shujin into the car window.
"There's General Lao Wei!" Fan Shijin didn't forget to thank him even if he was sitting in the car.
"Hahaha, Brother Fan is polite! Just call me Brother Wei in the future!" Uncle Wei saw that this Fan envoy was so polite, and wanted to shorten the distance between the two from this title.
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Wei!" Fan Shijin is a lot more affectionate in this title, but the degree of politeness has not changed at all.
There are outstanding people and talents. Historically, Xiapi experienced the struggle between Chu and Han, the competition of the Three Kingdoms, and the war between Song and Jin... It has left behind many places of interest and countless legends.
"Brother Fan, what other stories do you have now?" asked Liu Cong.
A group of people are also bored in this carriage, although they don't have to walk by themselves, but this bumpy road will also make people tired, otherwise where can this boat and car be tiring.
"This Xiapi is indeed a place with many legends, and it is the birthplace of this Sun Quan, whose gestation, birth, and toddler are all in the government office of Sun Jian in Xiapi!" Fan Shijin said.
Liu Cong and others all know Sun Quan, Cao Cao said that he said that he should be like Sun Zhongmou when he gave birth to a son, which is enough to prove that he is far-sighted and intelligent.
After Fan Shijin finished speaking, according to the usual Xiong Jingchong, but Wei Shujin next to the carriage was not idle, he listened to the carriage with his ears close to it, and hurriedly said: "There is also a story about Guan Yu's three covenants, when Cao Cao's soldiers divided the way to crusade against Liu Bei, Liu Bei fled to Yuan Shao, Cao's army besieged Xiapi, and Guan Yu was trapped on the dirt mountain. Cao Cao threatened Guan Yu with fire, and sent Guan Yu's former friend Zhang Liao to persuade him to surrender, Guan Yu in order to protect Liu Bei's wife Gan and Mi and the second lady and avoid Xiapi being burned, in desperation, he made three covenants with Cao Cao, one covenant was to surrender to Han and not to Cao, the second covenant was to support Liu Bei's two wives, and the third covenant, once he knew Liu Bei's whereabouts, he would go to follow. Cao Cao cherished Guan Yu's talent and agreed to his conditions. ”
"Haha! Brother Wei is not only superb in martial arts, but also knows a lot about this history!" Fan Shijin praised this Wei Shujin.
"I'm smiling, I'm smiling!" Wei Shujin no longer grabbed the limelight from a few people, but just followed the side and didn't speak again.
Xiong Jingchong said: "There is another one is that Lu Bu broke the halberd, on the day Lu Bu mercenaries went down, because Lu Bu was brave and unscrupulous, and he was more suspicious, without Chen Gong's advice, and the generals were suspicious, so they lost many battles." Cao Cao besieged for three months, the water was surrounded, Lu Bu's army was centrifuged, and finally the general trend had gone, and the city surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao listened to Liu Bei's proposal and killed this Lu Bu, and a generation of war gods died here. ”
"Most of the historical stories I heard here actually happened in Xiapi, but it's a good place!" Liu Cong listened to a few words today, and gained a lot of knowledge.
"Not only that, but this Xiapi is also a resort for burning incense and worshiping the Buddha!" Fan Shijin's mind is like a huge library, just by looking through it, you can find a lot of things about this Xiapi.
"That's right, I'm going to have to say goodbye here! With your group of people, maybe my head will move tomorrow!" Bai Xiyue didn't dare to think about it, as soon as he remembered how he came all the way, his legs began to tremble unconsciously.
The reason why Xiapi was able to build a temple was all due to this Rongrong person, and the Futu Temple and the Nine Mirror Pagoda he built in Xiapi attracted many Buddhists to live here. Wen Renxing added.
He spent a lot of money to build the Futu Temple in Xiapi. Futu Temple is built in the south of the city of Xiapi, there is a tower in the temple, there is a gold plate on it, there is a heavy building under it, the tower is nine layers of octagonal, each floor has cornices, each side is inlaid with a copper mirror, there is also a bronze mirror facing the sky at the top of the tower, it is called the Nine Mirror Tower. It is said that more than 3,000 people can be accommodated around the pavilion to chant and worship the Buddha in it, and the Buddha statue is painted with gold and draped in a brocade robe. Every time you go to the bathing Buddha meeting, you will set up a table on the side of the road for dozens of miles, and you can eat and drink wine and dinner. There are as many as 10,000 people who come to visit and worship the Buddha. It can be seen that the luxury of the arrangement, the grandeur of the scene, and the majesty of the momentum are rare in the world.
"Hmm... Wen Renxing is also a well-informed person!" Xiong Jingyi said.
These days happen to be the days of Buddhist worship, and if we can get to Xiapi before dark, we should still be able to hear the sound of chanting. ”
Wei Shujin had not made many friends with people from other countries before, and he always thought that this erudite and wealthy person should be his father, if his father could control the government, the Southern Tang Dynasty would definitely sweep the Quartet, and pacifying the countries was just around the corner. But after contacting the envoy of Shu this time, I found that there are people outside this person, there is a sky outside the sky, no one should look down on anyone, if you are an opponent with this group of people, the outcome is still unknown. Thinking of this, Wei Shujin sighed unconsciously, these five countries should all have capable people, otherwise they would not have been in the power of the five countries for so long.
"Coachman, is there a post station ahead to change horses?" asked Wei Shujin.
"Guest officer, this post station has a relationship with our shopkeeper, do you want to rush and then change horses halfway?"
"The coachman has good eyesight, I don't want to find a place to rest halfway, let's go all the way to this Pi!" Wei Shujin finished telling everyone the story of Pi, and he was also interested in Pi, which is not only the hometown where these generations of famous generals have stayed, but also a good scenic spot.
The coachman glanced back at this Uncle Wei, and then said: "This master, our horse can be changed, your precious horse is not afraid of getting tired?"
"It's all right, I'll rent another carriage for me to ride on. "Wei Shujin loves his horse very much, this horse has not only experienced the battlefield with him, but also carried himself to escape from danger countless times, and the scars on this horse are no less than his own.
However, this Uncle Wei's words still surprised the coachman, but fortunately he sat firmly, otherwise he would have to fall off the carriage.
When Uncle Wei entered the carriage and looked again, there was no movement inside, and it seemed that he should be asleep.
The coachman and the horse that Uncle Wei had entered also ran faster, and with the sound of the whirring wind, as if it had pierced the air, they hurried towards the next post station. The road is a lot smoother, you can see the plains and rivers at a glance, maybe go another hundred miles, and you can see the peak if your vision is wider.
When the group arrived at the post station, the sun was no longer so fierce, and Wei Shujin wanted to buy a straw hat to buckle on his head, but it seemed unnecessary at this time.
"Everyone settle a meal here first, and after this time, good wine and good food will be served!" Uncle Wei got off the horse and said.
Liu Cong and the others were sleepy-eyed, the road was surprisingly smooth, and they should have slept very comfortably all the way.
"Brother Wei, you're welcome. Fan Shijin braced his waist.
"General Wei, I'll drive the next trip, and you and a few others will ride in the carriage. Wen Renxing preached with this Uncle Wei.
"This..."Uncle Wei is not very tired, he has long been accustomed to this kind of thing at the border all year round.
However, Fan Shijin and others still strongly persuaded Uncle Wei to take the carriage, and even threatened that if Uncle Wei did not take the carriage, he would look down on himself. This Uncle Wei went through a few people's rhetoric, and he didn't shirk it, and agreed to take the carriage.
The two coachmen went to change the horses, and led Uncle Wei into the horses to change grass and drink water, but Uncle Wei was still not at ease after all, and followed the coachman to the stable.
And Liu Cong and others have found a good wine shop, and there is only one post wine shop, so it is not good to say that it is good, but it should have already sat in. After a few people sat down, they looked around, and they were intercepted and killed at the post station in Shu before, and with their previous experience, they looked around as soon as they entered the door.
"Boss, make a bucket of rice and get enough good dishes!"
Before Liu Cong and the others could speak, this Uncle Wei walked over and shouted to the shopkeeper as he walked.
This open-air wine shop is wafting with the aroma of wine, rice, and vegetables... A few people didn't care what Uncle Wei said, in short, it was enough to serve the food quickly to fill their stomachs.
