Chapter 219: A Hexagram of Gold
readx;? According to the information report of the Dengwen Academy, the Xiliang Restoration Ceremony is imminent, and it is related to the support of Nanzhao and Tubo, and it is said that a series of strategic cooperation memorandums have been signed between the three countries. www.biquge.info In the past 20 years, the Ming Dynasty has been strong and strong under the governance of Zhu Wuneng, but there are also some hidden dangers that have gradually eroded the national foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
War, not to mention justice or not, is a violent process of redistribution of resources. Xiliang controls the Hexi Corridor and is the only way for the Ming Dynasty to reach the Western Regions. If Xiliang successfully broke away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty this time, it was equivalent to choking the trade route of the western Ming Dynasty, which seriously hindered the implementation of the "One Belt, One Road" national policy proposed by the Ming Emperor.
Of course, Xiliang is not without dependence, two hundred years with the status of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, access to a large number of preferential trade policies, the annual trade surplus with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty real money and silver continue to flow into Xiliang. Coupled with years of conquest with the countries of the Western Regions, Xiliang has built a cavalry division of 300,000.
Although the combat power of the Ming army is strong, but Donglai and the border of the Ming Dynasty are separated by three hundred miles, and there is the Kubuqi Desert in the middle.
Daxi is also a wonderful person, saying that he will not snatch the jade seal of the country, and he will never mention it along the way. Two days later, the three of them came to Donglai City.
Different from the Ming border Guanxiong City, the city wall of Donglai City is not high, built of sand, because the Western Army of the Ming Dynasty held a military exercise in Xiangshawan, Xiliang also stationed 20,000 cavalry outside the Donglai City, and claimed to be here to rest, and its real purpose is well known to both countries.
Although Xiliang has followed the example of the Ming Dynasty to promote sinicization for two hundred years, Donglai City still retains some grassland customs, and weapons control is not implemented in the city. The Xiliang Restoration Ceremony is imminent, and Donglai is a traffic fortress, and there are often Jianghu guests traveling with swords on the street. The inhabitants of the city are also accustomed to this.
Shen Luoyan was also refreshed, and arranged an inn for the two of us in Donglai City. After more than ten days of hard work, I was finally able to take a hot shower and change into clean clothes.
I was hesitant to contact the Dengwenyuan stronghold in Donglai City, but Xie Delong told me how to contact him, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to contact him for the time being. Before the restoration ceremony, I still have to go to Xiliang Sword Pavilion to deliver the express, thinking about Shen Luoyan's attitude, I can't help but be big.
Liu Qingfeng is almost time to go to Xiliang City, it is said that the kid is proud of the spring breeze in Wudang Mountain, but he doesn't know if he has a beauty. Feng Laosi, Mosaic and others, I was a little worried, after separating from them that night, I don't know if I met the wolf thief and whether I could reach Xiliang safely.
Daiki knocked on the door and said he wanted to invite me to dinner. The two of us came to a tea shop on the side of the road, ordered a few dishes of meat and vegetables, and tasted them slowly. Daxi has a gentle personality, is not good at talking, and does not like to drink, the two don't talk much, I ordered my own wine, and poured myself a drink.
If the most well-informed places in the world are nothing more than brothels and inns, there are several tables of guests in the inn who are coming to Xiliang in recent days.
These diners, who know astronomy and geography, know 500 years before and 500 years later, and generally like gossip with those stubborn lords in the capital. What kind of marriage between Ma Hua, the governor of soldiers and horses, and Shen Luoyan's marriage, and the affair between Xiliang's mother and a certain minister, casually talked endlessly. Fortunately, Xiliang did not have a brocade guard, and the Xiliang Imperial Court did not help it.
A man in a short shirt stopped and asked for a cup of herbal tea, and said while drinking: If you want to say that the recent Xiliang event, in addition to the restoration ceremony of the country in the spring of next year, it should belong to the water and land conference of the Xiliang Five or Two Living Buddha and the Zhaoyang princess to recruit relatives. I worship Buddha in Xiliang, this time His Majesty invited the five or two living Buddhas to cheer for the restoration ceremony, but also on the day of the birth of the eighth Buddha in the first month of the lunar month, and the Central Plains Hulai Master debated Buddhism, if you don't listen, I am afraid that I will regret it.
A swordsman dressed in the Central Plains asked curiously, a knife in the Central Plains, and a long-standing Xiliang event came to see the ceremony, I don't know what the brother said about Princess Zhaoyang recruiting relatives, what is the matter?
It is said that the princess of Chaoyang gave birth to a closed moon shy flower, a sinking fish and a wild goose, this time the princess recruits relatives, it is said that regardless of the country, regardless of the origin, as long as she is single, answer three questions, the princess is satisfied, she will have the opportunity to leap into the dragon gate and become a Xiliang horse, if it is not for the family, even I can't help but try!
The swordsman was about to ask again, only to hear someone shouting in the distance, Qiao Laolai, where did you die?
The short-shirted man drank all the tea in a few sips, okay, and the proprietress called me to move the bricks. said that he had paid for the tea and left in a hurry.
Is there really such a good thing in the world? Qiao Laolai's words aroused discussion among the people present, and some people were moved by their minds, and hurriedly settled the tea money and went to Xishui, the capital of Xiliang
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) city.
At this moment, two groups of people walked into the tea shop one after the other, and these people were dusty, apparently they had just arrived in Xiliang. These two groups of people are well-dressed and not wearing Central Plains clothes, but judging from the guards in front and back, their identities are extraordinary.
Ouch, isn't this the prince of Nanzhao Duan? You're also coming to Xiliang?
Ouch, isn't this a cadre of Songtsam, the prince of Tibet?
The two greeted each other with a smile, and the entourage guards stood on both sides, and the atmosphere was a little weird. Xie Delong once said that this Xiliang restoration ceremony, Nanzhao and Tubo sent envoys to watch the ceremony, but they didn't expect to come to the princes of the two countries.
Duan Shoudao, could it be that you are also here for Princess Zhaoyang?
The Songtsan cadres laughed, each other! Princess Zhaoyang recruited relatives, I thought it was something in the bag, but Brother Duan also came, and my pressure increased greatly!
A guy served tea, and the two moved a stool to sit together and chatted.
I can't think of it, but I heard that Brother Songtsan already has a wife and children at home, why did he come to Xiliang to mix this troubled water?
As soon as Songtsam waved his hand, I have already written a letter of resignation and sent them back to their parents' house, by the way, Brother Duan, I heard that you built Wanmei Building in Nanzhao Kingdom, raising more than 100 wives, and you are very romantic!
For the sake of Princess Xiliang, I buried all those women in the pits for my brother!
Songtsam gave a thumbs up, or you absolutely admired!
Duan Zishou asked again, this time the Persian prince didn't come, do you know why?
Song Zan sighed and said, don't you know, that kid has newly obtained the Holy Fire Order Martial Arts, who knows that it is Sanskrit, he thought that it was great to pass the fourth level of Sanskrit, and forcibly cultivated, guess what? But it's okay, but it's a strong rival for the two of us.
Duan Zishou sighed, and a sense of superiority arose, or I Nanzhao Duan's martial arts are good, and the six-vein divine sword is all illustrated versions, illustrated and illustrated, which greatly reduces the probability of going mad. You see that I don't know a few big characters, according to the tiger cat, now I am a master of three products!
A fragrant breeze wafted by, and Shen Luoyan came to the tea shop, you are here, I have been looking for you two for a long time. Shen Luoyan was dressed up at this time, Chu Chu was moving, very pretty. I hurriedly gave her a seat, what did the little pavilion master command?
Songtsam cadres and Duan Zishou saw Shen Luoyan, their eyes were shining, only to see the two of them rock-paper-scissors, Songtsam won, came over to talk, in the lower Tubo prince Songtsam cadre, I don't know what this girl is called?
In the next paragraph, I live in Nanzhao Dali, and invite the girl to play!
Shen Luoyan saw the two of them, showed a sense of boredom, and got out.
I can't help but steal the fun, it seems that she was born like this, thinking about her words when she was on the dragon's head crutch to block me half to death, my heart was suddenly relieved.
As soon as the words came out, the guards from Tubo and Nanzhao drew their swords out of their sheaths, and there was a posture of discord and fighting. The two princes waved their hands, don't be abrupt and beautiful!
Shen Luoyan stood up suddenly, the sword was not out of the sheath, and a burst of sword intent was coming, and the princes of the two countries couldn't help but take two steps back. Those entourages were also like a great enemy, keeping an eye on Shen Luoyan to prevent her from hurting people.
Shen Luoyan smiled, the sword intent on his body retreated, patted Duan Zishou's head and said, In Xiliang territory, I don't care what prince and prince you are, I annoyed this girl, so that you can't eat and go around!
I believe, I thought to myself.
The princes of the two countries were bored and sat back to drink tea.
Outside the tea shop, the iron mouth is straight off, a thousand gold!
I followed the prestige, and saw a young man in a patched linen dress and holding the guise of the First Phaser shouting in the street, who was it not Teak? I was about to call him, remembering that I was transficent, and Shen Luoyan was beside me, and hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to my mouth.
Duan Zishou said, fortune teller, come here!
Hearing this, Teak walked into the tea shop and saw me. I shook my head slightly, teak understood, smiled at the corner of my mouth, and said to the two princes, I don't know if the two of them want to tell a hexagram?
Duan Shoudao, are you accurate?
Teak saw that the business came, and said, this Xiangshi is the fifteenth generation of Mai Shenxiang, and the word measurement, face, and hexagram are all passable, and they must be accurate!
I said in my heart that you are not the twenty-ninth generation, why did you return to the more than ten generations after not seeing you for half a year? And the price has also risen from 20 to 10 taels.
The Songtsan cadre said, why don't you do the math, what do we want to calculate? If the calculation is correct, I will give you ten taels
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) gold. If it's not right, don't blame us for chopping you up and feeding it to the dogs!
Teak automatically ignored the latter sentence, stretched out a pair of dirty hands, and paid first. Songtsan casually threw him a piece of silver and said, "Tell me about it?"
Teak pinched his fingers, read the words, and said after a while, the son is gorgeously dressed and there is no shortage of money, presumably it is a marriage?
I suspect that Teak just overheard not far away and deliberately came out to cheat.
I don't know how our marriage is on this trip to Xiliang?
Teak glanced at Duan Zi Shou, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and Duan Zi Shou hurriedly sent a piece of silver. Teak took it, asked for the two of them's birthdays, and pretended to be a bit of a show, I see that the two characters are fighting each other, showing the trend of double dragons grabbing pearls, is it for Princess Xiliang?
The two were moved, so who would hold the beauty?
Teak said, both of them are possible, and it may be very large, but this matter involves heaven, and I and other little ministers dare not leak it easily.
With a snap, ten taels of gold slapped on the table. Song Zan said, Hugh wants mother-in-law and mother-in-law, hurry up!
Teak Muyun put the gold into his sleeve lightly, took out two pieces of yellow paper, borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a few words on it, put it in two bags, and handed them to the two of them: the answer is in the bag, but it can only be opened when it is important to recruit relatives, otherwise it will not work.
I can't help but secretly praise, this kid's deception skills are becoming more and more superb, if the two of them are as he said, even if they find a problem in the future, where will they find him?
The two drank the tea, said goodbye and took people away, before leaving, Duan Zishou did not forget to ask Shen Luoyan, this is the contact information in Xiliang, the girl is free to go to Xishui City, why don't you enjoy the snow together? Shen Luoyan ignored it directly.
Teak came out victorious, and shouted, "Man, come to ten bowls of hot tea!" The guy snickered, can you finish drinking?
Teak glared, Lao Tzu is rich, drink five bowls, pour five bowls, can you manage it? The tea came up, Teak tasted it alone, and looked at me from time to time.
Shen Luoyan suddenly said, help me calculate a hexagram!
Teak didn't know our relationship, scratched his head and said, the girl also asked for marriage?
Shen Luoyan said, I want to find someone!
Teak said, I'm good at this, but the hexagram may be a little expensive......
With a snap, the long sword slapped on the table, the long sword was unsheathed, the sword intent was awe-inspiring, Shen Luoyan smiled and said, how expensive?
A sip of teak almost squirted out, and it was free, free, free!
Shen Luoyan said, help me calculate, Qin Sanguan of the Central Plains Dart Bureau is now available in Xiliang?
I gasped in my heart, this kid doesn't say bald, see me give him a look, teak said, girl, fortune telling, one is to pay attention to sincerity, and the other is to find the person who is looking for a relationship with the girl, I don't know what the girl is looking for?
Shen Luoyan said coldly, avenge my brother and cut off other people's heads!
I'm speechless to this little girl, I'm recruiting you to provoke you, I want to do something to my head at every turn, I don't know if a man's head and a woman's feet can't be touched?
Teak glanced at me playfully, took a sip of tea and asked, how is the girl's eight characters?
Shen Luoyan reported his eight characters, and said, Qin Sanguan, Ding Mao year, Ren Shen month, Gui Si day, Bingchen time.
I said in my heart how much enmity we have to have, and you found out what a bad deal I am.
Teak pinched his fingers and counted, well, the two of you are incompatible, and you are born to restrain each other, even if you are a husband and wife......
With a bang, the long sword was unsheathed and rested on the teak's neck.
Shen Luoyan: I asked you to count this?
Teak Mulian changed his words and said, according to my calculations, that Qin Sanguan, at this moment, should be in Xiliang, the northwest of the life star, bleak, a great omen, presumably without waiting for the girl to make a move, his life is not guaranteed.
Shen Luoyan said viciously, hum, if you want to die, you have to die in my hands.
Teak picked up his life, and he didn't care about drinking tea, and was about to escape, when Shen Luoyan shouted, come back. Teak came back obediently, crying and saying with a sad face, what is the girl again?
Shen Luoyan pointed at me, why don't you help him calculate a hexagram too?
Teak smiled, I don't know what this son is asking for?
I was silent.
Teak then asked, asking for marriage?
I shook my head.
Seeking Fortune?
I then shook my head.
Teak is in a hurry, don't ask for this, don't ask for that, what do you want?
I said lightly, ask for a monthly pass!
(You get the idea!)
