Chapter 585: The Spring Breeze Does Not Pass the Jade Gate
Xizhou from Pingliangfu to the west, is a semi-humid and semi-dry climate, between the plateau and mountains, the desert is continuous, and the few rivers flow through the flat place, forming large and small oasis, and those large and small prefectures, counties, towns and villages in Xizhou are built on the oasis formed by those rivers and lakes.
Due to the perennial drought, the ecological environment of those oasis lands is actually quite fragile, and if you are not careful, the soil will be eroded and eventually swallowed up by the vast desert Gobi.
In comparison, the southwest leans on the majestic Qilian Mountain, the remaining veins of the Bailing Mountain and the watershed, more than a dozen rivers run through it, and at the same time occupies the easternmost part of the Hexi Corridor Liangzhou City, the living environment here is relatively considerable.
At least after the city of Liangzhou was seized from the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it experienced the period of Wuliang separation, and experienced the harm of wars in the dynasties, and changed hands among the Hu and Han dynasties several times, and after a thousand years, it still stands firmly at the east end of the Hexi Corridor, and has become an important area for the Silk Road to enter and exit the desert.
Since ancient times, there have been countless poems and songs in Liangzhou, especially in the Tang Dynasty, the prevalence of Biansai poetry has created the prosperity of Liangzhou poetry, and it has derived a tune name called "Liangzhou Ci". Many poets of the Tang Dynasty have written "Liangzhou Ci", the most famous is the poet Wang Zhilian's "Liangzhou Ci", also known as "Out of the Stop".
"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass! Good poems, good poems! Sister Fang, why do you say that the poets of the Tang Dynasty are so talented?"
On a hill in the east of Liangzhou City, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy dressed in gold clothes, carrying a golden sword at his waist, holding a golden horse, looking handsome, was looking at Liangzhou City not far away, and in the midst of his excitement, he couldn't help but read out a song "Out of the Stopper" by Wang Zhilian. And his subsequent complaint led to a graceful beauty in a white dress, white gauze mask, and a black light gauze cloak beside him, constantly rolling her wonderful eyes.
"Brother Long, if you really envy others so much, you can just make a poem yourself. ”
After listening to the words of the white-clothed beauty, the golden-clothed young man pursed his lips and did not speak. He knows his own family affairs, and he knows very well how much level he has. Although he has always been known to be proficient in literary and martial arts, his literary talent is indeed not so outstanding compared to the martial arts that are proud of the others.
And this gold-clothed young man and white-clothed beauty who were on the hills outside Liangzhou City were none other than Wang Yuelong and Liu Feifang, who were rushing all the way to the desert of the Western Regions.
Due to the resurgence of the Red Pink Gang, after Wang Yuelong and Liu Feifang left Qingyang Mansion, the speed of their journey was obviously much faster than when the four of them were together before.
From Qingyang Mansion to Liangzhou City, originally according to the instructions of the treasure map of Tianmo Island, it was from the southwest of Qingyang Mansion through Pingliang Mansion, Gongchang Mansion, and Lintao Mansion to turn north, and take the Lanzhou Zhongwei, Zhuang Langwei, and Gulang of the 27 Jiuwei in Hexi to arrive at the Wuwei of Liangzhou, which also belongs to the "Jiuwei 27".
This road is actually more than 1,600 miles, if you really follow this pure land route, it will take at least half a month to reach Liangzhou City from Qingyang Mansion, and even if it is a fast horse, it will take more than ten days.
However, if you go directly north through Pingliang Mansion to Ningxia Zhongwei by the Yellow River, and from Ningxia Zhongwei along the Great Wall all the way to the west to Liangzhou City, it is nearly 200 miles less than the traditional route from Pingliang Mansion to the southwest through Lintao Mansion to the north, and the time taken theoretically will naturally be much less.
However, if you go southwest of Pingliangfu through Lintao Mansion, this road will basically not pass through the desert Gobi, and there will be fewer bandits on the way; while passing through Pingliangfu to the north through Ningxia Zhongwei along the line of the Great Wall, you will have to pass through the uninhabited Gobi several times, and at the same time, you will have to face the group of horse thieves who come up from the desert without a trace, and even the raids of the nomads in the north, and the danger factor is not much higher than that of the southern route.
It can be said that if it were not for a person who has great confidence in his own strength, he would never take the northern route. And others who dare to take the northern route are either stupid or crazy, in short, they will not be recognized as normal people.
Fortunately, Wang Yuelong and Liu Feifang both belong to the former category, and their strong strength is the biggest guarantee to support them to take the northern route, and all the way before, Wang Yuelong and Liu Feifang also relied on their strong strength to fight against those horse thieves several times. Wang Yuelong, who had never been soft on those thieves and thieves, and even the horse thieves who had killed, fled in panic after seeing his iconic golden color from afar.
After creating the name of "golden clothes and thieves" in the east and middle section of the first line of the Great Wall, Wang Yuelong's golden clothes shocked the thieves and thieves in this section in the west section of the first line of the Great Wall.
Of course, I don't have much to say about the past, just that now Wang Yuelong and Liu Feifang are about to arrive in Liangzhou City.
"Sister Fang, have you dealt with those people from Beishui in Liangzhou before?" "Sister only remembered that she had dealt with Shui Bingfeng, the current head of the Nashui family, a few times before, and no one else had seen it. ”
After leaving the small hill, Wang Yuelong and Liu Feifang still rode together, and the two chatted with each other.
"What do you think of that frozen man?" "When I saw him, he should have been in his twenties. Young talent, high-spirited, just gives people the impression that this person seems to be very sinister. Anyway, my sister doesn't have a good impression of him. ”
"I see, what kind of old fox kind of person could it be?" "You guy, the head of the family is only about forty years old now, where can you be considered an old fox?"
"Hmph, it's not a good thing anyway. Hey, Sister Fang, you say, do we want to give them some big gifts or something like that?" "...... You can't be stable for a while?!Why do you want to make trouble every day?!You are really?!You can fool around!!"
"Sister Fang, think about it, the Renshui family is the head snake in the boundary of the rivers and lakes of Liangzhou City. We are all in the same way, so we are reasonable, should we go and visit? You are right?" "Yes, yes, you are big?!" Wang Yuelong, let me tell you! You have a task now, and you don't come out to play casually!
Out of his inexplicable absolute trust in Liu Feifang, Wang Yuelong actually told Liu Feifang the purpose of his westward trip. And Liu Feifang now considers herself the person around Wang Yuelong, so she naturally has strict requirements for this guy.
"......" Wang Yuelong pursed his lips, and finally became honest.
