Because his whereabouts were exposed in Qizhou, Xu Beiyou did not go to Huizhou according to the established route at this time, but went to Yuzhou, intending to go to Jiangzhou from Yuzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But then again, Xu Beiyou is not Gongsun Zhongmou, he has never walked the world, strictly speaking, this is the first time he has gone out alone, and after saying goodbye to Chen Gongyu, he has departed from the established route, so he is also very naturally lost, and he is at a loss in this unfamiliar place in the first state of the Central Plains.

Yuzhou, also known as Zhongzhou, is the place where the ancient Central Plains is located, before the Great Chu, Yuzhou and Shaanzhou are the same as the center of the world, its capital is known as the world, there have been thirteen dynasties to build the capital here, and because of the peony is famous all over the world, it is praised as: "the thousand-year-old god capital, the peony flower city." ”

The major sects in the cultivation world also have a deep relationship with the gods, Taoism began here, Confucianism originated here, scriptures flourished here, Buddhism was first transmitted here, metaphysics was formed here, and science was found here.

It's just that later, the ancient Central Plains is weakening day by day, and it is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past, and the center of the dynasties is either to the south or to the north, and the capital is no longer here, and this divine capital cannot be compared with the increasingly prosperous Jiangdu and other places.

According to the imperial court, the four capitals of the world are the imperial capital, the river capital, the middle capital and the northern capital, but according to the Daomen, it is not, because the imperial capital is also known as the eastern capital, so the four capitals are the central capital, the eastern capital, the river capital, and the divine capital.

It can be seen that Shendu City can be ranked as one of the four capitals of Daomen.

Xu Beiyou traveled all the way, counting all the capitals in the world, renamed the eastern capital of the imperial capital, the Jiangdu located in the south of the Yangtze River, the middle capital where the Great Qi Longxing is located, once the divine capital in the world, the northern capital on the vast snowfield, also known as the western capital of the Golden Horde, the Xuandu of the ancestral court of Daomen, and the Buddha capital of Longcheng, there are eight.

In addition to these eight capitals, there are Shaanzhou, Shuzhou, Yanzhou, Liaozhou, Jinzhou, Youzhou, Qizhou, Zhilizhou, Huizhou, Yuzhou, Jiangzhou, Huzhou, Xiangzhou, Nanzhou, Guizhou and other large and small fifteen states, two grasslands in the south and north of the desert, 100,000 miles of southern Xinjiang, overseas Wei State, Western Regions countries, later established several states, and the country of the extreme west, which is called the world.

Xu Beiyou asked for directions while hurrying on the road, but he stumbled all the way to thirty miles outside the Shendu City. Calculate the time, the rain in Qingming Valley has passed, the spring period is coming to an end, just in time for the flowering period of the peony in the divine capital, and you are fortunate to witness the grand scene of the rich peony blooming all over the city.

If you come, you will be safe, and Xu Beiyou will go directly to Shendu City.

The status of the Divine Capital, without going into details, Han Xuan once specifically mentioned to Xu Beiyou that there are three major factions in Confucianism, one is Jiangdu, one is the Eastern Capital, and one is the Shendu, Xu Beiyou's trip to Jiangdu has a clear vein, which excludes the Eastern Capital and the Shendu, the two places where the masters gather, should have entered Qizhou and bypassed Langya Mansion and then entered Huizhou, and then crossed the river from Huizhou to Jiangzhou.

In the twilight, Xu Beiyou finally walked in front of the Shendu City, it is really a big city, it is not inferior to the Central Capital, but it is not as good as the Zhongdu Battled Land, the Shendu has more than three points of wealth and three points of honor accumulated over the years, just like the flower king peony that has bloomed in the city for more than a thousand years.

Xu Beiyou stood in front of the city and looked out, and with his not even clever eyes, he could vaguely see that this city was just a city, and it was clearly still a Qimen big array, with Fang City as the point and the city wall as the line, intertwined and connected, it was a big array. However, after several battles, this large array is now fragmented, and it was only then seen through by Xu Beiyou at a glance, but one can imagine how brilliant this formation should be when the Shendu was at its peak, and it is worthy of being the former capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.

Xu Beiyou rushed into the Shendu City before closing the city gate, looked around, and sure enough, the weather was very different from that of Beidi and Saiwai, Xu Beiyou thought about it, and finally could only use the words "flowers and wealth" to describe what he saw and felt.

In the past 100 years, Confucianism has successively had three leaders who can be called pivotal, namely Zhang Jiangling, Fang He and Sun Shiwu, these three have served as the cabinet chief assistant of the Dazheng Imperial Court, coincidentally the three of them also represent the three major factions of Confucianism, Zhang Jiangling was born in Jiangnan, Fang He was born in Jiangbei, Sun Shiwu was born in the Central Plains, Sun Shiwu resigned and retired to the old age is to return to the Shendu City, so in the Shendu City, the Sun family is the strongest, and its family is a family of its own, and over the years there has even been a climate comparable to the Jiangnan Xie family and other wealthy families.

However, Xu Beiyou was just a hurried passer-by, and he didn't have the heart to provoke the Sun family, so he just wanted to stay here for a short time before leaving here and heading to Jiangzhou.

There is a stargazing platform in the former palace of the former dynasty in the city, which can overlook the whole city, among which there is a library building and a stargazing divination, but it does not belong to the Sun family, the first family of the Shendu, but belongs to a county king surnamed Xiao.

This county king's name is Xiao Quji, there is no merit, it is completely dependent on the grace of the family to have today's status, it itself has nothing brilliant, not arrogant, not very much love money, not much love sex, is to indulge in mountains and rivers all day long, occasionally beg for immortals and Buddhas, and good vassal elegance, the only thing that can be called a hobby is to practice swords, and even admire the great sword fairy Shangguan Xianchen, but it itself has no qualifications, and it is still not in the stream after practicing for so many years, not to mention that the threshold of the sword fairy has not been touched, and it is very reluctant to call it a swordsman.

All in all, he is a mediocre person, so now His Majesty simply sealed him in the Shendu, a peaceful Central Plains land, and did not expect him to go to the edge of Ping Fan Town, but he was also at ease.

At this time, on the stargazing platform, Xiao Quji, who was dressed in a blue python robe, was standing in the wind, wearing a long sword at his waist, looking at him as if he wanted to chant a poem, but he kept this posture for a long time, and he couldn't hold back his words, so he had no choice but to give up.

Behind him, an old servant, carrying a birdcage in his hand, containing a verdant bird, was very spiritual, and said softly: "Your Highness, this spring cold is not a joke, let's go down." ”

Xiao Qujian waved his hand, seemingly extremely impatient, and said: "Lao Wang, you are good anywhere, it's just that this is not good, Rory is like a girl, this king knows it!"

The old servant's face was full of helplessness, so he could only nod again and again.

Xiao Qujian thought for a while and asked, "By the way, Lao Wang, I heard from the gang of people in the Dark Guard Mansion a few days ago that the young master of the Sword Sect went to Jiangdu and made a big noise, has there been any letter recently?"

The old servant said softly: "The old slave has some friendship in the Demon Suppression Palace, and I heard that this young master of the Sword Sect disappeared after showing up in Qizhou. ”

Xiao Qujian nodded and said, "It's a little interesting, what about my cousin, isn't he sitting in Qizhou, the young master of the Sword Sect passed by his territory, and he didn't make any moves?"

The old servant shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi seems to be completely blind to this, but it ......"

"What is it?" Xiao Qu turned around quickly, "Old Wang, don't sell Guanzi, this king is the most impatient with this." ”

The old servant lowered his voice: "The old slave heard that Her Royal Highness the princess has a special blue eye for this young master of the Sword Sect, but it is just a matter of Her Royal Highness the princess's reputation, but he doesn't dare to chew the root of his tongue." ”

Xiao Quji sneered: "My cousin, since she was a child, is not an ordinary person, often has unexpected actions, relying on the queen mother and His Majesty's favor back then, I don't know how many disasters have been caused, although it has stopped a lot over the years, but the nature of the country is easy to change, this matter is not enough to make a fuss, but my cousin did not get involved in this matter, unlike his temperament, it is very strange." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Quji suddenly laughed at himself: "I'm a powerless and powerless county king, what do I do with this? What does the Daomen Imperial Court have to do with me? With those brothers and uncles to worry about, I am at ease, speaking of which, I would like to meet this young master of the Sword Sect, one is to ask the sword to him, and the other is to see the famous and famous Zhu Immortal and Sword Thirty-six. ”

The old servant narrowed his eyes and said softly: "It's hard to say anything else, as long as he shows up in Zhongzhou, the old slave will definitely invite this young master of the Sword Sect to His Highness." ”

Xiao Qujian stretched out his hand and patted Lao Wang's shoulder vigorously, and laughed: "Lao Wang, it's interesting!"
