Chapter 20 The Past of Kyushu is now heard

On the official road, Shangguan Yun is marching in the dust, and it has been a month since he left Feiliu Valley, these days he is in a hurry during the day, and he finds a secluded place to meditate and practice at night, and before he knows it, he is almost to Luocheng, the capital of Luoshen Kingdom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The road was not smooth, during which there were two snowstorms, although Shangguan Yun was not afraid of such weather, but it was somewhat delayed. However, he was accustomed to seeing the deep mountains and dense forests, walking on the snow-capped vast plains, and the endless snow fields also made Shangguan Yun feel refreshed and heroic. It's just that whenever he passes by villages and bazaars and looks at the curling smoke on the thatched roofs, he always thinks of Yunshui Village under the Hengyun Ridge and the thatched houses of his own family.

In general, the Roselle Kingdom on the Kyushu continent is quite stable, although most of the people are not rich, but they are still not worried about food and clothing, which is much stronger than those legendary troubled times. During this month's trip, Shangguan Yun hurriedly saw the shepherd boy playing the flute, the boat singing the fisherman, the busy farmer, and also saw the scholars who traveled to study, the traders who walked on their feet, and the soldiers who stood guard, and lived in seclusion in the valley for two years. That makes sense.

Just like this, while walking, Shangguan Yun had arrived at the bank of Heluo City on this day, and saw that at the place where the Jiuqu River and Luoshui converged, there was a huge city on a large plain. The fertile fields outside the city are mixed with the villages, the caravans and pedestrians come and go, the shadows and shadows in the city, the high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, and before entering the city, you have already felt the prosperity of the city.

After entering the city gate, Shangguan Yun inquired slightly, and went straight to the Zhongyi Dart Bureau. The headquarters of the Zhongyi Dart Bureau is in the north of the city, there are seven or eight miles away from the south gate where they are located, all the way, there are many shops on both sides of the road, pedestrians are weaving, Shangguan Yun simply slows down, looks while walking, and enjoys the unique prosperity and style of this royal capital.

At the intersection of Taolin Street, it was also in front of the door of the Zhongyi Dart Bureau, Shangguan Yun looked up, only to see a familiar apricot yellow dart flag standing on the door, embroidered with the word "Zhongyi", and two sturdy dart masters are holding knives in front of the door, the gate is very beautiful, but for some reason, it always looks a little depressed.

Shangguan Yun stepped forward and bowed to the dart master, "Senior Shangguan Yun, if you have something to ask to see Old Man Guan, please ask the master to say goodbye." ”

The dart master on the left glanced at Shangguan Yun up and down, and said, "This little brother, Old Man Guan usually doesn't see guests, what do you have to do, can you tell us, we are also good." ”

Shangguan Yun insisted: "This matter is very important, I can only say to Old Man Guan, and ask the master to give it to you." ”

The dart master on the right was happy, and interjected: "Young man, I see that you are not eighteen yet, can you have anything important, don't joke with us, forget it, you come with me, I will take you to the lobby, you can tell the third master in charge of anything else." ”

"That's fine, then there is Master Lao. Shangguan Yun hugged his fist at the master, followed him into the courtyard, and came to the lobby.

Entering the lobby, the dart head bowed to a middle-aged man sitting on the Taishi chair drinking tea.

"Third master, this little brother said that there was something important to ask to see the old man, but he refused to say what it was, so I brought him to you. ”

"Oh, what is this little brother called?" the middle-aged man stood up and looked at Shangguan Yun.

Shangguan Yun looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and saw that his eyebrows were quite similar to Guan Lin, but he seemed to be more elegant.

"The younger generation Shangguan Yun, there is indeed something important to ask to see Old Man Guan. Then he looked at the dart master beside him.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man waved his hand to the dart master, motioned for him to go down, and when the dart master went out, he said to Shangguan Yun, "You can say it." ”

"I don't know what this master is called?"

"In Shimonoseki Peng"

"Then what is the relationship between Master Guan Lin and you?"

Hearing this, the man's whole body was shocked, and then he said word by word: "Guan Lin is my second brother." ”

Shangguan Yun bowed to Guan Peng, and then said, "The junior is from Kunshan City, and he met Master Guan Lin, and was entrusted by Master Guan to send a thing to Old Man Guan, and asked the third master to pass through Old Man Guan." ”

"Wait, what are you talking about? Entrusted by my second brother, let me ask you, where is my second brother now?"

"Well, let's wait until I meet Old Man Guan. ”

"It's okay, you come with me. Guan Peng then led Shangguan Yun towards the inner courtyard. After a while, when he arrived at a house, he opened the maid in front of the door, and at this time, Guan Peng stopped and turned his head to Shangguan Yun.

"This little brother, since my second brother disappeared more than two years ago, the dart bureau has sent people to look for it, and found that many dart masters were killed, only my second brother does not know life and death, the old man is anxious and can't afford to be sick, what news will there be, I hope you can say it tactfully, Guan Peng is here to thank you. ”

"I see, I have my own measure. Thinking of Guan Lin's death that day, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

The two entered the hall together, Guan Peng motioned to Shangguan Yun to wait, and then entered the inner room alone, and soon came out of it, signaling that Shangguan Yun could enter.

When he entered the inner room, he saw an old man leaning on the couch, his eye sockets were deep, and his body was extremely thin, if he didn't know that he was the famous Guan Lao hero, Shangguan Yun couldn't have thought that this was once a high-roller.

The old man motioned for Shangguan Yun to sit down, and then said in an old and weak voice, "Does this little brother have news of my son?"

Shangguan Yun bowed slightly, nodded and said: "The junior is a native of Kunshan City, he used to be a partner in the inn, he is familiar with Master Guan Lin, and he also received his kindness, and he learned some boxing and kicking from Master Guan, and on the day of the accident, I saw Master Guan. ”

The old man's eyes lit up, and he motioned for Shangguan Yun to continue.

"Master Guan finally fought with the thief with an injured body, I am afraid that he has been more auspicious, as for his life and death, the younger generation does not dare to say anything, but Master Guan once asked the younger generation to hand over a thing to the seniors, because of the last resort, the delay has been so far, and I ask the seniors to forgive me!"

Shangguan Yun immediately told Guan Peng's father and son about the incident in Hengyun Ridge that day, and then took out the package from his arms and handed it to Old Man Guan.

Old Man Guan opened the package with trembling hands, and when he saw the cyan jade pendant, he couldn't help but burst into tears, grabbed Guan Peng's hand tightly, and said, "It's really this! ”

Old Man Guan was so excited that he struggled to get up from the bed, and after being dissuaded by Shangguan Yun and the others, he took a breath and said to Guan Peng, "Hurry up and salute the little brother for me, the little brother is the lifesaver of my Guan family!"

Guan Peng got up and was about to kneel down, how dare Shangguan Yun take such a big gift, so he hurriedly stopped him.

"Third master, there is no need to be like this, Master Guan treats me well, I should do this. ”

Guan Peng insisted on worshipping, but Shangguan Yun refused, so he hurriedly hid to the side and diverted the topic and said: "Guan Lao Hero, Third Master, the younger generation has one more thing to ask here, please give me some advice." ”

Seeing this, Guan Peng had no choice but to give up, "What's the matter with the benefactor, just say it." ”

Shangguan Yun said hatefully: "On the Hengyun Ridge that day, my father was also killed because of this incident, I don't know if the old man Guan and the third master know the details of the thief?

Hearing this, Guan Pengden was silent and looked at Old Man Guan.

Old Man Guan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then turned his head and said to Guan Peng: "This little brother is the life-saving benefactor of my Guan family, because of my Guan family, and the father of this little brother, although this matter is very important, but it doesn't hurt to say it to the little brother, otherwise what faith does my Guan family have at all!"

"Father!" Guan Peng seemed to have something to say.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it," Mr. Guan said firmly.

"It's a long story!" After hesitating, Guan Peng opened his mouth to speak.

"Does this little brother know the origin of my Roselle Kingdom?"

"Just a little bit of it". Shangguan Yun shook his head.

"It is rumored that 10,000 years ago, the Kyushu continent originally lived in a mixture of races, in addition to the human race, there were demon races, demon races, spirit races, beast races, giants and fish people and other races, and the war between the races continued, and then the rise of the human race, under the leadership of a leader surnamed Ji, unified the Kyushu continent, the demon race, the beast race exiled to the mountains and forests, the fish people were driven to the open sea, and the spirit race, The three clans of demons and giants gradually disappeared in the Kyushu continent, and then the surname Ji established a dynasty, and divided the meritorious people into the gods, and the descendants of the gods cut the land and became princes, that is, the kingdoms on the Kyushu continent today, and all countries worship the surname Ji as the emperor, and call the surname Ji the gods. I, the Kingdom of Luoshen, is one of the princes. ”

"The surname Ji is a god, the world is peaceful, and then I don't know how many years, the god clan surnamed Ji suddenly declined, some people say that the surname Ji has left the Kyushu continent and is missing, and some people say that the surname Ji died in civil strife and has disappeared from the world. Subsequently, the world rose up together, fought continuously, annexed each other, and by the time of more than 300 vassal states a thousand years ago, only 16 countries remained. ”

"Thousands of years ago, during the civil war of the human race, the demon race, which had disappeared for nearly 10,000 years, suddenly raged in the human world again, flooding Kyushu for a while, and there was a great tendency to exterminate the human race. Since then, there has been a thousand years of peace, and although there are still wars between countries, the scale is under control. ”

"Now the lord of Luoshen is old, there are three sons under his knees, the third son Min is still young, the eldest son is known for his martial arts, and has repeatedly made military exploits, and is now the prince, but his personality is violent and suspicious, and the people have many complaints. Qiong, the second son of the lord of the country, was capable and resourceful, courteous, and mellow, and won the hearts of the people; it is precisely because of this that the legend of the prince fighting for the prince has been heard from time to time. ”

"Over the years, although Gongzi Qiong has always been low-key in this matter and does not give people the truth, Gongzi Ba has always wanted to get rid of Qiong and then quickly, pressing each other step by step. In order to protect himself, Gongzi Qiong secretly accumulated strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sought foreign aid, and his mother was the princess of Qishan Kingdom, and Qishan Kingdom naturally became the first choice for Gongzi Qiong to ask for help. ”

"This jade pendant sent by the little brother is actually a token of Gongzi Qiong, it is rumored that this thing was originally a relic of the Ji surname God, with which you can open the treasure left by the Ji family, Gongzi Qiong intends to exchange this thing for Qishan Country to send troops to help. It was only because Gongziba's surveillance was very strict that he thought of sending someone to hand over this item to our dart bureau and secretly send it out to hide people's eyes. My father didn't want to wade into this troubled water, first, he had been favored by his son Joan, and secondly, he didn't dare to shirk it, so he reluctantly took this errand, who knew how to leak the news, the dart team was attacked, and the second brother also didn't know whether he was alive or dead. ”
