Chapter 13 The World and the Rivers and Lakes
The moon is high in the sky, and the stars are dotted.
It was a very quiet night.
Lu Caiyun didn't reply to her 'Qifeng Tower', she just sent someone to give the old bustard a message and lived in Shu's house, she was originally considered free, but why did she fall to being a 'kabuta', she didn't say it, naturally no one asked!
Dugu Qiu Qiu sat quietly in front of the window of 'Listening to Yuxuan', looking up at the sky, and the pale moonlight fell on his face, drawing out the vastness of some years.
He also began to recall the conversation between the few people just now, and Shu Mubai's introduction to the entire rivers and lakes.
The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time.
Where there are clouds, there is the world.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The world and the rivers and lakes, separated by a line, the difference between the two words, but they are always entangled and tangled.
The south is separated from the sea god in the north and the east of Chu, and the three empires are intertwined, and the forces are vertical and horizontal.
Nanli is the guide to leave the country, Dugu seeks defeat in the country where he is now, a typical feudal dynasty, and the world he used to stay in is no different, the biggest feature is also the rivers and lakes martial arts, masters emerge in endlessly, rich Central Plains.
Northern Chu is, of course, the Northern Chu State, a powerful military empire, five dragon generals, and three major lords, who are hesitant to leave the country in the south.
The East Sea God refers to the Poseidon Alliance in the east of the two countries, which is composed of dozens of countries, tribes, and islands of all sizes, with a developed economy and an extremely spectacular military force.
Under the mutual containment of the three major forces, there has been nothing wrong with each other for thousands of years, but the calm under this wave is afraid that it will not last long. Especially in recent decades, the infiltration of the rivers and lakes of Northern Chu into the southern country has become more and more dramatic, and the court of the southern country is also a fierce partisan struggle.
In the rivers and lakes, the situation is even more complicated, the six major martial arts families, the major sects, or the imperial court are each other's horns, or infiltrated by foreign forces, or their own struggles, or wolf ambitions, interests are constantly disturbed, and the undercurrent is turbulent.
Jiangning Shujia, how can it exist?
Strength! Everything has to be spoken with strength! With strength, why be afraid of the sky collapsing?
Thinking about the Gongsun family, the family is not prosperous, and the number of people is not more than 100, but the imperial court and the rivers and lakes are attracting one after another, and the forces of all sides are vying to meet each other, relying on what is the strength! The three elders of the Gongsun family are all generations who have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, and their skills are so high that no one dares to provoke them. Look at the ruthlessness of that grandson, the ancestral sword dance has reached the top, who dares to resist?
Thinking about it again, the Heavenly Sword Sect has only produced one or two setters in the past few decades, but it is not the prestige of the people who command the world, what does this rely on?
Look at that again...
In the past, whenever Shu Mubai thought of this, he always felt bad in his heart, he was the same person, he was the same family, but why was the gap so big? In terms of martial arts, Qiushui's swordsmanship was no worse than theirs, and he only blamed himself for not being angry, right?
But now, he is not afraid, he is not at all annoyed in his heart, and he is even happy and excited about the upcoming strife, how inspiring! Shu family, you are about to become famous!
Shu Mubai has such self-confidence! Strong self-confidence! Such self-confidence comes from strength.
As soon as the clear water comes out, who dares to fight for the wind?
"Shu family !!" Shu Mubai looked up to the sky and smiled, and couldn't help it.
Shu Qianxuan also wrote in his room, and between the lines, he revealed a silent friendship:
"Xian Xian, this trip to Jiangdu is undelayed, the day I return, it is the time to marry you, take care!"
After writing it, I looked at the contents of the letter again, and without any mistakes, I carefully wrapped it, called the housekeeper, and sent the letter out overnight.
"Xian Xian, wait for me! I will come back! I will definitely bring you the most perfect happiness!" Shu Qianxuan had a long love for children in his heart, and he was full of pride.
Shu Jieshui and Lu Caiyun were also chatting in the bedroom, the two women were together, bursting with laughter from time to time, Lu Caiyun was very excited in her heart, she could be in the same room with such a senior, and talk freely, just as she wished.
"Dance Tianji, Night Dream Cicada, I'll be here tomorrow!" Shu Shuanshui and Lu Caiyun talked and laughed, and said silently in their hearts.
This night, everyone has their own reasons for not having trouble sleeping!
Early the next morning, Shu Mubai had already arranged everything. After everyone had breakfast, they packed up and explained some things to the housekeeper, four carriages, and more than a dozen families, and went east.
Shu Duanshui is naturally in the third with Lu Caiyun's carriage, Shu Mubai's carriage is in the first, Shu Qianxuan is behind, and Dugu's defeat should be at the end.
The Shu family is worthy of the Jiangning family, when walking on the road, pedestrians stop and watch, and when they go out of the city gate, the city guard is also respectful.
All the carriages are planted with the banner of the Shu family, with yellow edges on a white background, and the word "Shu" in splendor.
The south is divided into eight counties, from north to south, Cang, Liang, Beijing, Yu, Jiang, Suzhou, Fujian and Sichuan.
This Jiangdu is the capital of Jiangjun, one of the important capitals in the middle of the country, the trade is extremely developed, connecting the north and the south, the river passes, the water and land are convenient, and it is only five or six days away from Kyoto.
More than 1,000 years ago, when the south left the country, it was the first to occupy the Jiangdu, and only then did it obtain the capital to confront the previous dynasty.
Jiangning City is more than 300 miles west of Jiangdu, and the carriage journey takes only half a day to arrive, and when the Shujia carriage arrives, it is only in the afternoon.
This Jiangdu is extremely strictly guarded, and the city gate is a place for heavy inspection, in addition to the emperor, the princes and nobles also have to get off the car and be inspected!
Everyone got off the carriage, the majestic river is impressively displayed in front of everyone's eyes, the huge city gate, cast of black iron and steel, can be parallel to three cars without crowding, the middle is in, the two sides are out, four rows of guards, black armor and gold helmets, so not majestic. On the city wall, the two big characters of 'Jiangdu' stand, and then there are towers, several bows and arrows guarding, ready to attack, a team of soldiers and heavy land! Sure enough, the defense is tight.
There was also a crowd of people in front of the city gate, and Shu Mubai was obviously extremely familiar with the rules of Jiangdu City, so he hurriedly walked to the inspection office after getting off the carriage, and exchanged pleasantries with the captain of a golden armor, and after a while, he came back with a smile on his face, beckoned everyone to get into the carriage, and went straight to the special road in the middle into the city.
Everyone else looked at these carriages with envy, this road, ordinary people are naturally not allowed to enter, but only high-ranking officials and nobles can enter, it is a symbol of identity and status!
The carriage passed into the city, turned a few corners, and stopped in front of a majestic mansion, which was the Shujiajiang Courtyard.
Everyone got off the carriage, and this Jiangdu finally arrived
