Volume 2 Winter Chapter 116 Liangcheng Feixue Tower (1)
The end of a war can be because of the appearance of a person, the occurrence of an event, or even a promise of a word, without spending a single soldier or hurting a single flower or grass...... But the beginning of a war is often ten years or a hundred years in the making!
Sadly, the war that had been raging for ten years ended only with Kagura's involvement, and it was only half a year after that.
Kagura is also like a leading big brother, it took the lead in blowing the horn of the counterattack, and all the large and small mountain gates of Zhenwu followed suit, and there were rumors in the world: "Kagura Fusu, Jianzun Taichu all appeared on the battlefield, and the ancestors of the mountain gate families responded to the call one after another, and brought thousands of masters to the battlefield to slaughter the barbarians!"
The Zhenwu people worked together to gather tens of millions of people to counterattack the barbarians on the frontal battlefield, and under the leadership of Liu Fusu, the Zhenwu army was invincible, and it took only three months to push the Hanzhong barbarians.
The barbarians retreated to the polar sun zone, defended by the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountains, and defended the last line of defense with the geographical location that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the barbarian beasts were wiped out, and the main force was defeated.
Back and forth, busy, unknowingly.
Eight months later.
The Zhenwu army completely wiped out the barbarians south of the polar day, and the land that Hanzhou fell was recovered eighty percent in just eight months, although the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountain north of the battle line was still defended by the barbarians, but it was all some remnants of the defeated generals, with the momentum and strength of Zhenwu, a comprehensive recovery was just around the corner.
Di Yunfeng was finally able to stand on the top of the mountain and suck the fragrance outside the plug generously.
In fact, the frozen world is beautiful, spotless, white and flawless, and this is the closest place to the sky.
Di Yunfeng stretched out his fingers and gently pinched a snowflake falling from the sky, he looked at it for a while, and finally opened his mouth to stuff the snow into his mouth, he closed his eyes and used his tongue to quietly adapt to the temperature of the snow. He bent his eyebrows and tilted his head with a look of great enjoyment.
"You're such a weirdo, you eat even the snow. ”
Xue Jin was wrapped in an edelweiss robe, with long hair and shawl under the cotton hat, a few crystal gems on her forehead, eyebrows and shadows, her lips were light red, and light makeup was always appropriate.
Di Yunfeng still closed his eyes and tasted lightly: "This snow is sweet." ”
"Really?"
Xue Jin stretched out her hand to take a piece of snowflake, she originally wanted to taste it, but the snowflake fell in the palm of her hand like a sharp knife, so cold that the palm of her hand was like a knife! She shivered, and a bright light flashed in her eyes, only to see her take out a sleepy-eyed little milk dog from her robe, and unceremoniously stuffed the snowflake into its mouth.
"Woo woo ......" Haha was so cold by the ice and snow that he looked straight at the wailing and called, Xue Jin couldn't help laughing, holding it kissing and caressing, and it took a while to coax it to calm down,
Di Yunfeng opened his eyes and said with a wry smile: "It seems that Haha has suffered a lot with you." ”
Xue Jin pursed his lips and smiled: "Look, you have admitted it yourself, this snow is bitter." ”
"Why do you want to argue with me about this?" Di Yunfeng paused, pursed his lips and said: "From the perspective of Danhuo specialization, the battlefield makes artillery gunsmoke, and the gunpowder smoke is absorbed by the cloud atmosphere and gathers into sour clouds, at that time the snow falling from the sky is sour and bitter, and now that the war is over, the artillery fire will no longer bombard, and there will be no more gunpowder battlefields, and the snow that gathers in the clouds is clean snow, pure snow, and sweet snow!"
He looked back with a smile and wanted to discuss a few more things with Xue Jin, but when she saw Xue Jin's daughter's outfit, her eyes widened.
"Why, haven't you seen Jin Meiren?" Xue Jin is still the same smug Xue Jin.
Di Yunfeng realized that he was out of shape the next moment, shook his head, and said with a light smile: "I just almost didn't recognize you, but now that I think about Her Royal Highness the Princess's noble life, her temperament is dusty, and her face is naturally overwhelming." ”
"You don't come, did you have a spring heart just now?" Xue Jin gently stroked his face, and said with great confidence: "This princess can write brilliantly, and martial arts can pick up the lamp and look at the sword...... Which of you men is not tempted to see it?"
Di Yunfeng didn't deny that he was indeed out of shape, but he still blurted out: "The crow face is not moved." ”
"Uh...... This, hum!" Xue Jin seemed to be right, and he complained: "The merchant prisoner is not a man at all. ”
"The captain of the merchant school fought bravely on the front line to kill the enemy and made great contributions, this time he returned to the dynasty to be added to the rank of knight, it is not good for you to speak ill of others behind your back. ”
"Hmph, who told him to always have a crow's face all day long? He is so annoying, he calls me a young lady and a young man, and he doesn't listen to me at all behind his back, anyway, no matter what he does, as long as he follows all the way, the fun is at least half less. ”
Di Yunfeng shook his head happily, he knew that without these arrogance and prejudices, the story of this adventure would be mediocre.
At this time, an iron horse escorted a group of civilians from the other side of the snowfield, and the colorful clothes of the villagers were very conspicuous in the ice and snow world.
"Huh, I can't imagine that you can still see ordinary people on the snowfield in the cold. Xue Jin stepped forward to look, and her pretty face was full of surprise.
Yes, the land of Hanzhou that was invaded before, as long as it was Han Chinese, they had to die under the butcher's knife of the barbarians.
Di Yunfeng looked at the leader of the iron cavalry with a telescope, and for a moment the corners of his mouth turned slightly up, wasn't the radiant iron cavalry officer Zhang Mou? Behind him was the group of surviving villagers who had been trapped in the ancient road before.
The villagers have burned the mural relics in the ancient road, which is a very meaningful document, which records the interaction between the Han and the barbarians. Perhaps the promotion of this document can allow the Han people and the barbarians to re-establish diplomatic relations, so that the war between the barbarians and Zhenwu for thousands of years can be quelled.
Of course, it may take a long, long time to achieve this kind of peace, but the years of the True Martial Arts Realm are long and clear, and I believe that peace will definitely stand the test.
At this time, there was a team of unarmored men and horses on the other side of the ice field, there were more than 300 people and horses, each equipped with sharp weapons, and the force was above the vital vein, and the leading two had the strength of the real martial realm!
"Shhh...... This group of people is
Who?" Di Yunfeng asked Xue Jin.
Xue Jin sighed: "This team of people is the servants of the Lin and Huo families, and the two generations of the Lin family master and the Huo family master are all serving in the army, and these people are here to pick up the two noble sons to return home." ”
Di Yunfeng said with a smile: "This rich is different, take a look? ”
"Majestic fart, if it weren't for the fact that the Lin Huo family had funded the recruitment of real martial arts, how could I have let ......them bring their own servants to the battlefield to mess around?
Lin Huo's two families are rich and rival countries, and the word "spending" alone is enough to show how much their contribution is, and it is not difficult to find that when Lin Zifang and Huo Da go to the battlefield, there are always so many hidden masters behind them, to put it bluntly, it is difficult for them to die......
"Look, Bai Xiu'an pulled his little apprentice out to practice knives again, he has a good way of teaching people, I just saw this kid born a few days ago, and now he is about to break through to the second grade. ”
Xue Jin pointed to the two people who were practicing on the mouth of the wind and snow, despite the cold wind, they were still thinly dressed, he made the knife sonorous and powerful, and the cold front could break ten thousand pieces of snow, and he was still hovering in the first grade with his strength, but it was guaranteed that if he fought with a martial artist of the second grade, he would definitely be able to win easily!
Di Yunfeng was pleased: "Bai Xiu'an's sword skills are very expressive, if it weren't for the fact that I have my own sword skills in my heart, I really want to learn his sword skills." ”
Xue Jin rarely let go of her arrogance, and said convincingly: "Bai Xiu'an and I are both death-vein forces, but no matter his movements, speed, and killing intent, they are all above me, and he is still advanced later," she sighed lightly: "Alas, it's really a little ashamed to say it." ”
Di Yunfeng said: "Don't you know that in our hometown, some famous and decent disciples have practiced their own mental mantras to perfection, but when they really fight, they are not enough for the killers of the rivers and lakes to slaughter with two knives." ”
Xue Jin was puzzled: "Do you mean that the disciples of famous and decent families practice all fancy shelf? Then Bai Xiu'an is not from Yangmen, he is really not fancy." ”
Di Yunfeng shook his head and said: "That's not it, those who are qualified to start a sect must have a few real skills, and the problem I want to talk about is 'experience,'" he looked at Xue Jin meaningfully and said: "For example, a domestic dog and a wild dog, the two bite and fight in the same cage, you will find that the domestic dog does not have to obey the wild dog that barks twice, hmm...... You know what I mean, right?"
"You can always use such a vivid thing! You compare this princess to a dog!" Xue Jinmei was stunned, and the strength in her arms was a little harder, and she screamed directly.
Di Yunfeng hurriedly snatched it haha, pitiful and laughable: "Why is it too anxious to fry each other from the same root?"
"You...... You!"
"Goodbye!" Di Yunfeng took off in his hand and waved at Xue Jin with a smile.
Di Yunfeng didn't wave his hand, but this wave made Xue Jin impatient, and she exclaimed, "Where are you going?"
Di Yunfeng thought about it for a long time on the mountain: the battle in Hanzhou was generally successful, Zhang Mou had brought the villagers back, Bai Xiu'an had also taken away as apprentices, and he had also visited the patients in the medical tent overnight...... It seems that the matter is over, it is useless to stay, and it is time to part.
There are only more than three months left before the appointment of Feixue Tower a year later, and in these three months, he wants to go to Liangcheng in advance to get acquainted, and he may get out of it if something happens in the future.
Di Yunfeng looked at the wind and snow swaying in the south heroically, and made an excuse with a smile: "Liangcheng south of Hanzhou, will it be a green city full of fallen leaves in September? The weather here is too cold, I want to go to the south to see." ”
Xue Jin was shocked: "Are you going to Liangcheng......?" Liangcheng also belongs to Hanzhou, where it is as cold as ever, and the four seasons are like winter!"
Di Yunfeng wants to leave, then he will definitely not stay, he slowly lifted off in the air with a haha.
Xue Jin saw that Di Yunfeng was really leaving, so he ran up the mountain and shouted: "Hey, Muwang's Mansion is in Liangcheng, why don't you let me give you a letter, it's useful." ”
Di Yunfeng entered the city in advance in order to be able to adapt secretly, where can he go with great fanfare?" "No, I have my own sense of proportion here, Captain Xue doesn't have to worry." ”
"That'...... So when can we meet again?"
"Don't worry, if I have a wedding wine in the future, I will definitely not lose your share of money, hahaha......"
......
......
Mid-Autumn Festival in August.
The moon bends and hangs on a cold day.
It's really strange that on August 15 in Liangcheng, the moon turned out to be bent.
It is even said that this city is contrary to some of the principles of the world, where day and night are distinct, but the day and night are very strangely distinct, in the heavens, the left is night, the right is day, and when the sun sets and the moon rises, the right becomes day, and the left becomes night......
Liangcheng is very large, there are crystal ice flowers on the pavilions and pavilions, but the snow here never snows, the white dotted on the branches is just right, and there has never been any heavy snow in the city that crushes the branches and collapses the beams of the house.
Liangcheng perfectly interprets the meaning of the word poignant
The empty and unmanned streets, the empty and unmanned cities, although the carved fences and jade bricks should still be there, but no one settles in them. In such a bleak city, it is really unbearable.
------------
Di Yunfeng put the white mask on his face as usual, he walked on foot beside the empty street, and checked the shops on the left and right without leaking, it is strange to say, there are not many people living in Liangcheng, but these shops are full, can they really sell the things in them?
In the end, Di Yunfeng stopped in front of a money bank.
You can't go anywhere without money, this must be the rule of walking the rivers and lakes.
The money bank is not large, and when you go in, you can see the tall counter, which is separated by steel bars, and only gives a gap in one hand. A guy who was watching the store was napping in front of the counter, and the store was quiet, except for his snoring.
Di Yunfeng walked up to the counter, and with his height, he had to raise his head to look up at the counter, and he knocked on the front of the counter
Shouted: "Man, exchange money." ”
The guy rolled over and rolled his eyes, he not only heard but also saw, and listened to his lazy words: "Exchange gold, exchange silver, exchange tickets?"
"For gold. Di Yunfeng said, he likes shiny gold.
"How much gold?"
"Ten thousand taels. ”
The guy almost didn't fall off the counter, he hurriedly raised his head, looked Di Yunfeng up and down, and wondered, "Boy, are you here to find fault or to empty our inventory?"
"Smack!" Di Yunfeng slammed the counter, he looked at the guy with a wicked smile, and he seemed to be pressing something terrible under his palm.
The guy also looked sideways with his eyes wide open, as if he was making a bet, excited and expectant.
Di Yunfeng slowly moved his palm, revealing the two Lin Huo family checks with bloody handprints on the counter, and he instructed: "Man, you can see it, the genuine Lin family firm's checks and Huo family's checks are worth 60,000 yuan." ”
The man's eyes flashed with gold, he wanted to touch it, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to touch it, so he could only rub his hands and smile and say, "Guest officer, I definitely believe that the check you made is true, but our money bank can't attract so much gold for a while......
Di Yunfeng leaned against the counter, and when he was rich, he spoke in a high-pitched tone: "Oh?
The man replied respectfully: "We only have five thousand taels of silver here, and I can only give you a maximum of one thousand taels here, and you have to consult our boss for transactions over one thousand taels...... Uh, our boss has been out of town on errands these days, so do you think you can use a thousand taels first?"
Di Yunfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is a thousand taels enough for me to go to the kiln?"
"If this thousand taels of guest officers go to other kilns, it will be enough for you to be happy for a while, if the guest officer wants to go to Feixue Building, then this little bit of silver is indeed used for two days," the guy pressed Di Yunfeng's two checks, and his head almost came out of the counter, "Why don't you do this, guest officer, I still have a few silver tickets with a good denomination of 10,000 taels here, you can use them first?"
"Oh, what kind of business house is your family, is the silver ticket reliably? If I go to Feixue Tower and take out my hand and others don't recognize me, then wouldn't I be very shameless?" Di Yunfeng asked.
The guy hurriedly added: "Don't worry, this guest officer, you put a hundred hearts, although our family does not have the two Lin Huo family financial resources, but as the first commercial house in Liangcheng, it is by no means built, not to mention whether it is good elsewhere, it is our Liangcheng, whether it is called a girl in Feixue Building or eating noodle soup in the alleys of Qingjie, it can be used!"
Di Yunfeng saw that it was not early, and he didn't talk any more nonsense, he pulled back a check and left one and said: "The amount of this check is 30,000 taels, give me 1,000 taels of silver here, give me 10,000 taels of silver tickets, then it will be 11,000 taels, and I still have 19,000 taels in this check, you have to write it down, and I will have to come back to get it when I have spent all my silver and silver tickets." ”
"Okay, no problem, no problem, I'll give it to the guest officer!"
11,000 taels, plus more than 2,000 taels in Di Yunfeng's storage bag, a total of more than 13,000 taels on his back, he walked with the wind.
Di Yunfeng thought about finding an inn to settle down first, and then go to Feixue Tower at night to have a look, he thought that Feixue Building was a place for literati and scholars to gather, but he didn't expect it to be a place of wind and snow, and he could make an appointment to meet here, presumably Liu Fusu must be a romantic person.
"Trouble let go, trouble let go!"
The middle of this street is so deserted that there is only Di Yunfeng alone, who will let him let if he doesn't let him?
Di Yunfeng happily avoided it, that person would let the word "trouble" know that he was a knowledgeable person, the avenue was wide, and he changed his route.
"Click, click, click......" An extremely luxurious carriage covers the entire Yangguan Avenue, there are three coachmen who are driving the car, and there are six maids dressed as girls next to the car, these girls are no more than twenty years old, each of them is pink and lovely, but they are such beautiful daughters, with all kinds of short knives tied to their waists, hidden weapons...... I don't know how high their strength is, but if you provoke them, it is estimated that there will be no good end.
Di Yunfeng stood aside, quietly waiting for the carriage to pass. The carriage passed him, and someone half-lifted the curtain and stretched out a jade hand with jeweled rings on the middle and little fingers, and a blood jade bracelet on the wrist. All in all, this is a very beautiful hand, and it is also a very rich hand.
"Well, how can there be a man?" asked the owner of the carriage, her voice as crisp as the joy of a bird returning to the forest.
A maid walked to the window, glanced at Di Yunfeng, and said to the person in the carriage: "Miss Yu, this person is carrying a knife, wearing a mask, and his body is still strong, it is really strange to appear, he should not be a local." ”
"Oh, if you're not a local, you should be more careful. Miss Yu said lightly.
Di Yunfeng rushed to the rivers and lakes and asked, "What should the girl pay attention to?"
The maid on the side first answered for Miss Yu: "Miss Yu, look at this person's actions and self-title, he must be a wanderer. ”
After saying this, several maids on waiting stared at Di Yunfeng coldly, some disgusted and some vigilant.
It is normal to be wary of a person of unknown origin. Di Yunfeng didn't care, and shrugged his shoulders: "Farewell." "Say goodbye and you have to leave. But Miss Yu in the carriage called out to him: "Outsiders, it's about to get dark, and you may not know that there is a curfew in Liangcheng." ”
Di Yunfeng clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, I know now." ”
"Hehehe...... It's really interesting for outsiders. Miss Yu laughed stupidly, the laughter was not loud but it had a very penetrating power, just listening to this laughter can make people think about it and haunt it.
"Miss Yu, it's getting late, we should go. The maid persuaded.
"Let's go. Miss Yu lowered the curtains, withdrew her jade hand, and the carriage rolled slowly, and a group of men and horses moved forward.
