The majestic Great Wall stands on the border of the northern country, but this amazing project, which was originally used to defend the border, was used by the minority Yuan Dynasty as a ladder to rule the Central Plains, which shows that no matter how strong the defense is, it cannot withstand the internal decay. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The weak Song Dynasty is difficult to hide its depraved nature even if it hides in several Great Walls, the Yuan Dynasty is better than this, and it is also destroyed here, when their successor rulers are accustomed to singing and dancing, just like the Song Dynasty they destroyed, they have experienced another destruction, but this time they have become the destroyed party.

The majestic Hongwu Emperor strengthened the Great Wall again, but the "Great Wall" in his home collapsed into a mess, Zhu Biao failed to become the expected successor in his mind, Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen also failed, the current Ming master is Zhu Di, compared to the successor in front of him, Zhu Di understands the hard-won throne better, and also understands that the environment in which he is located may break out at any time.

So Zhu Di wants to move the capital and set foot on the land of the imperial court that was once destroyed by his father, he wants to make the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty feel a sense of urgency and abandon the beautiful idea of being content with pleasures, on the other hand, the capital closer to the northern border is more conducive to Zhu Di to arrange strategic amplifier measures, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty are far from being purged, and the rulers of Mongolia are ready to move. Zhu Di clearly realized that for the southern countries, Zheng He's westward way could be used to carry out the policy of grace and grace, but for these strong neighbors in the north, a smile could not be exchanged for peace, and sometimes a fist could make people surrender more than a smile.

However, now the new capital is still under construction, and the devastation when the Yuan Dynasty fell has not fully recovered its vitality, and at the same time, in Yingtianfu, one person is about to embark on his journey again, and this person is Zheng He.

Zheng He's first voyage was ordered by Zhu Di, but this second departure was entirely due to Zheng He's initiative, because all of this was instructed by his master, the black-clothed Prime Minister Daoyan, to do so.

At this time, Zheng He was kneeling in front of Dao Yan respectfully and humbly, he deeply admired and respected his mentor in his heart, he still had no confidence in his heart for this trip, he didn't know whether he could return to his hometown again or bury overseas.

"Get up, Zheng He. Dao Yan said slowly.

"Let me kneel again!" Zheng He choked up.

"Here, you have to kneel all the time, many people will hold your shoulders, don't want you to get up, and when you go out, you have to remember to stand all the time, to straighten your back, because you are also the backbone of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zheng He raised his head and stared at his master.

Dao Yan looked at him and continued: "Actually, this has long been expected by me, when Emperor Chengzu decided to send you west, your fate was already doomed. If it fails, Long Yan will be furious, and if it succeeds, the villain will be jealous. So Zheng He, accept fate's arrangement for you, sailing overseas is your destiny in this life. Only outside, the villains can only carry the heart that harms you, but they can't use the power to harm you, as long as you come back, countless evil claws will reach out to you and suffocate you. ”

"I understand Master's good intentions, but I am just emptying the full economy of your teaching, seeing that you are getting older, but you can't stay by your side as an apprentice, and can't solve your worries and problems, I really feel guilty!" Zheng He said sadly.

Dao Yan smiled and said: "Stupid, your ability to represent the Ming Dynasty overseas is the best display and feedback for the skills I taught you, I taught you not to let you be by my side, on the contrary, it is to allow you to travel the sky and display your life's ambitions." ”

After the master and apprentice finished talking, there was a silence, and the tacit understanding between them no longer needed too many words to describe.

The day of departure was still grand, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di personally saw him off, the prince and the ministers went out of the city to see each other, Zheng He still led 20,000 people this time, and the battleship was still majestic, but when Zheng He looked around, he found that he could no longer accompany Ye Cheng, and he didn't feel a trace of melancholy flashing in his heart. Although they have been together for a short time, the two are already sympathetic to each other, Zheng He can't help but think, where is Ye Cheng now?

The happiest person in the procession was not Zhu Di, but Zhu Gaoxu, who had always regarded Dao Yan as one of the biggest obstacles in his path to the throne as emperor, a meticulous old monk who had never accepted his favor and never talked to him without the presence of a third person, which his apprentice Zheng He had completely inherited. The calmness and uprightness of this pair of masters and apprentices make Zhu Gaoxu shudder every time he thinks about it, and now that Zheng He is gone, Dao Yan is like missing his right-hand man, which will be an excellent opportunity for him to compete for the throne.

In the process of watching Zheng He leave, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but think of someone again.

Ye Cheng, yes, it's Ye Cheng! What is the origin of this four princes who came out of nowhere, his handsome and extraordinary bearing and superb martial arts make him difficult to let go, although no matter how he thinks about it, Ye Cheng can not become his biggest threat, but all factors that may hinder him must be excluded, and the struggle for the throne of all dynasties and dynasties cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness. If you win, you will be in a yellow robe, and if you lose, you will be burned, Zhu Gaoxu understands this.

At this time, of course, Ye Cheng didn't know that Zheng He, who had fought side by side with him, had accepted the guidance of fate and sailed overseas again. can't even know that his half-brother Zhu Gaoxu already has the intention of killing him, and now Ye Chengzheng is carrying a backpack and riding a fast horse on the road to Shu with Zhao Xuanwu and Wei Rou.

Negative sword tour of the rivers and lakes, fast horses more prosperous, the three of them eat and sleep in the open and run to the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, the sun and the moon are like shuttles, the Shu Road written by the ancients has been in the bottom of the eye, only to see the mountains are lush, towering and continuous, the road is criss-crossed like a knife and axe, the birds in the forest make a crisp chirping from time to time, and the apes on the trees are running one after another, as if they are still full of vigilance against the three original guests.

"It is difficult for people to say that it is difficult to go to the sky, and if you don't see it with your own eyes today, it's unbelievable. Ye Cheng looked at it and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Wuhou crossbow was created by Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, Zhuge Cheng has been in Shu for many years, and today we came here by chance, isn't it that the Wuhou crossbow has its own guidance in the dark?" Zhao Xuanwu sighed.

Ye Cheng stroked his palms and laughed when he heard this: "Brother Zhao's wonderful explanation, if you say that is really the case, I hope we can find Wei Rou's father soon and reunite their father and daughter." ”

Wei Rou galloped all the way on the horse, and now she still had some difficulty breathing, and said at the moment: "Brother Ye, Zhao Daxia, you are also running with the journey, Wei Rou will be difficult to repay as a cow and a horse in the next life, if I can really see my father, I will definitely advise him to change his ways and do more good deeds in the future to make up for the sins of the first half of his life." ”

Ye Cheng nodded, and couldn't help but sigh that Wei Rou's fate was also very unfortunate, she was obviously such a good girl, but she had such a father.

At this time, the mountain road was getting steeper, so the three of them had to put their horses in the farmer's house in the village and walk on foot.

"Miss Wei doesn't have to worry too much, fortunately, your father is now in the Emei faction, Ouyang Yu, the head of the Emei faction, is known as 'Bai Gongming', I have also seen it on Chongxiao Club and Chongming Island, and he is really extraordinary, very kind, presumably he also wants to persuade your father to reform himself, so he landed on Chongming Island at that time, and now since your father defected to him, it seems that he has the intention of getting lost and returning. Ye Cheng comforted Wei Judao as he walked.

"Brother is right, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, but whenever someone mentions the Emei faction, they all praise him, Ouyang Yu's old-timers are highly respected, and they will be able to persuade Miss Wei's father, the prodigal son, to turn back. Zhao Xuanwu said on the side.

At this time, it was already winter, Ye Cheng was walking, and found that Wei Rou couldn't help rubbing his shoulders, obviously a little cold and unbearable, so he took off his coat and covered his body, Wei Rou wanted to excuse himself, but he couldn't resist Ye Cheng.

Shu is not the land of abundance, the mountains are majestic and beautiful, and the beauty is breathtaking. But although there are many mountains, if it is said that there is no one who can match Emei.

The more the three of them walked towards Mount Emei, the more they felt refreshed, but they saw the flowers along the road, which can be seen that they are all extremely hardy plants, and then look at the top of Mount Emei is even more cloudy, and there is already snow covering the top, which is spectacular.

Mount Emei is several thousand meters above sea level, Emei faction since the creation of the school, is built in the middle of the mountainside, legend has it that the essence of the sun, moon and heaven and earth can be obtained here, grow here all the year round, can make the external evil not invade, prolong life. The unique Emei fairy tea of Mount Emei, flat and straight, bright and tender, just fits the outstanding characteristics of the Emei Mountains, and can drive away the cold and wind, which is really a good product.

"The founding predecessors of the Emei faction are really discerning, and they set up the sect here, no matter how they practice martial arts, at least they can prolong their lives. Ye Cheng praised from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Xuanwu said while walking: "The Emei faction is the largest faction in the southwest of the Central Plains, and there were originally two factions in this Shu land, one is Emei, and the other is the Heavenly Spirit Sect, but the Heavenly Spirit Sect was suddenly destroyed more than ten years ago, and now the people are scattered and withered, and they have disappeared in the rivers and lakes. Since then, in the southwest martial arts, there is no one to compete with Emei. ”

Ye Cheng couldn't help but admire: "Brother Zhao, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with things in the martial arts, I think you can also get a nickname for Xiao Tongtian." ”

Zhao Xuanwu said with a smile: "How dare I compare with Luo's predecessors, it's just that I have been walking the rivers and lakes for more days, so naturally I know more about the rumors and anecdotes in the rivers and lakes, and you will know more than me in time." ”

"Brother Ye, Brother Zhao, look at it, what is that!" Just as the two were talking, Wei Rou suddenly said in a loud voice, startling the two.

Ye Cheng and Zhao Xuanwu looked in the direction of Wei Rou's finger, but saw something floating in the wind on the cliff in front of them, and when they looked closely, they found that it was a person hanging upside down, just with a rope tied to his ankle.

"It's not good! It seems that this person is in trouble, we can't stand idly by!" Ye Cheng said and jumped and ran towards the cliff, but saw that the man had his hands behind his back, his eyes closed, as if he had passed out, and let his body continue to shake in mid-air.

Ye Cheng used light skills to jump onto the stone wall at the moment, but felt that the stone wall was extremely slippery, and he almost fell down several times, and finally climbed in front of the man, and cut the rope violently with a knife in his hand, and then grabbed the person with his hand, and jumped down from it again with light skills. But in the process of falling, Ye Cheng suddenly felt that his body was suddenly pushed, and when he looked at it again, the rescued person flew out of Ye Cheng's arms like a nest bird, Ye Cheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and screamed to save him again, but saw that the person was churning in the air, and fell to the ground lightly.

At this time, Zhao Xuanwu and Wei Rou had also come to the bottom of the stone wall, and Ye Cheng immediately stood up to find the rescued person, but found that there was no one under the stone wall except for Zhao Xuanwu and Wei Rou.

"Brother Zhao, Miss Wei Rou, have you ever seen the person hanging on the stone wall just now?" Ye Cheng hurriedly asked.

Zhao Xuanwu and Wei Rou glanced at each other, and then said, "I did see it when I was down just now, but when we rushed over, we found that you were the only one here." ”

Ye Cheng scratched his head and said: "It's really strange, obviously I had already taken him in my arms just now and fell, but I don't know where a force came from, and then the others flew out, but now they disappeared without a trace in an instant, it's really like an illusion." ”

"No...... It can't be a monkey, right?" there were a lot of apes in Mount Emei, so Wei Rou said.

Ye Cheng smiled: "It's impossible, I obviously saw it when I was close, and I was a big living person." ”

Zhao Xuanwu looked around, but seeing that the mountains were quiet, there didn't seem to be any movement, and he said in a low voice at the moment: "No matter what, we must be more careful in everything when we first come here, and when you encounter similar situations in the future, brother, you must not act rashly, what if it is a trap set by someone?"

These words reminded Ye Cheng, and he hurriedly nodded yes, and he was also a little afraid of the impulse just now, and promised that he would never act rashly in the future.

The three of them didn't go far, and suddenly they only felt a fresh fragrance coming to their faces, and then a clearing flashed out of the flowers, and a delicate attic was built on the mountain, with three big characters on it: Qingyin Pavilion.

"This aroma is penetrating, I don't know what it is?" Ye Cheng took a deep breath, only to feel that the stomach was unusually refreshing and thorough.

"Brother Ye, there seems to be someone here. Wei Rou pointed to Qingyin Pavilion and said.

The three of them saw that the door of the Qingyin Pavilion was hidden, and it seemed that the fragrance was wafting out of it.

"It seems that my Ye Cheng's luck is still good. Ye Cheng said with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?" Wei Rou asked suspiciously.

"When I went to Sanfo Island, someone invited me to drink fish soup, and when I came to this Emei Mountain, someone asked me to drink tea. At this time, Ye Cheng had already judged that the aroma was coming from the house, most likely the aroma of tea.
