Vast desert

The vast desert is more sparsely populated, and after the chaos of the countries, many bereaved people fled there, and after decades of development, it has been improved. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Quicksand City is blessed with a unique geographical location, and now it has developed into a prosperous and important town comparable to a large city like Gangneung Mansion of the Great Ying Dynasty, and it can even be called a country, with intricate forces.

As far as the power of Quicksand City is concerned, it can be roughly divided into four factions, namely the native Quicksand City City Lord's Mansion, the remnants of Western Shu led by the great eunuch Lan Shen, the remnants of the Yan Kingdom led by the two "Ding Tian" families and the three dependent Yan Kingdom Families of "Lu Li Zheng", and the Bone Workshop secretly supported by the Northern Royal Court.

The city lord's mansion naturally has nothing to say, the people are natives of the land, although in recent years, because of the influence of other forces, the days are obviously not as prosperous as before, but the stubborn forces are still not to be underestimated. Among the four major factions, it can be ranked second, and the latecomers of the Yan Kingdom are on top, but as the saying goes, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the Yan Kingdom is also well aware of the pros and cons, and does not easily touch the City Lord's Mansion.

But that was only half a year ago, and today's "Yan faction" can be described as an abnormality, and if you don't do the humble gentleman who used to talk but not move, "killing people and setting fires" is the norm, and it is a bold move.

And the reason why the Yan faction has such a big change is that it is all a Mai scholar.

A few months ago, the four descendants of the Yan faction's "Ding Tian Li Zheng" returned to Guangmo from the Da Ying Dynasty. Some careful people found that it was supposed to be the descendants of the five families, but Lu Ping of the Lu family was missing, but there was an extra weak scholar wearing sackcloth and a slightly sloppy image.

Later, the news spread, and people learned that Lu Ping, a descendant of the Lu family, had died as early as the territory of the Da Ying Dynasty. As for the scholar, he is a talented person who has come back, named Jin Hongfang.

Ding Mansion, as the center of the Yan faction's power, can be said to be in an endless stream of people coming to the door in the past, so that the subordinates in charge of receiving people in the mansion had to double the original number of people, forming two shifts, so that they could cope with it.

But the scholar entered the house, and the Ding Mansion directly closed the door for three days.

During this period, although some people were able to enter and exit the vermilion lacquer gate of Dingfu, those who had a heart found that these people were all from the Yan faction, and they were mysterious old men who were not seen by outsiders all year round.

On the fourth day, the gate of Ding's Mansion finally reopened, and before the people outside could enter, one after another orders came out of the mansion.

Immediately afterwards, the Yan faction made frequent big moves, and some of the behaviors they made were inexplicable and unpredictable. Even some of the practices are completely contrary to the previous style, which can be described as extremely outlandish.

And the four major forces, which were at least balanced, were broken in an instant. Among them, the Western Shu forces were the most affected.

The Xishu forces are headed by the former eunuch Lan Shen, and the reputation of the eunuchs has never been very good, so the Xishu forces are not very popular in Quicksand City, and the Yan faction also scoffs at them. It was only in the past that he was forced by the threat of the local city lord's mansion and the bone workshop supported by the northern border to form an alliance with Xishu, but in the eyes of many Yan faction bosses, this so-called alliance was undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger.

No, just half a decade ago, the Yan faction spent a lot of manpower and material resources to be able to purchase a hundred mountain-breaking bows from the north, and only then did they secretly enter the vast desert realm, and they were ambushed and killed by unknown forces, and a hundred mountain-breaking bows with great use were just lost.

The Yan faction bosses were so painful, so they sent someone to investigate it strictly. finally had a clue three days ago, but he was indignant to find that the person who robbed and killed was none other than his ally Xishu.

Although he was resentful, but due to the greater threat brought by the other two factions, the Yan faction could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, which was really embarrassing.

As the saying goes, feng shui takes turns.

No, in recent days, it has been the turn of the Xishu forces to be indignant and aggrieved.

The stakes that had been secretly buried with a lot of effort were uprooted by the Yan faction one by one, not to mention, the City Lord's Mansion suddenly pounced on it like a ghost, as if it had formed an alliance with the Yan faction.

You must know that the native-born City Lord's Mansion has always been a loner, and has never flattered other forces, let alone bitten the other three major forces so abnormally.

In just a few days, the forces of Xishu were devastated, and the eunuch Lan Shen was even more angry and killed people and drank blood in the mansion every day. But it didn't help.

It wasn't until yesterday that the eunuch Lan Shen was able to figure out that all of this was because of that damn sloppy scholar.

I don't know if it's true or not, but rumors say that this eunuch has sent many assassination masters, and it is even possible that he will personally go out and behead the damn scholar.

Dinh House

Everyone in the house knows that there was a strange person in the house a while ago. The reason why he is called a strange man is because he does not live in a tall tree.

That's right, live in a tall tree.

Ding Mansion was originally built on the mountain, and there are many century-old trees in the mountain, after the mansion was built, these ancient trees were not cut down, but some of them were retained, so some people say that Ding Mansion is comparable to the emperor's imperial garden. Among them, there is a sky-breaking pine tree that is the highest, which can be called a towering ancient tree, if you climb on it, you can take the entire huge quicksand city into view.

It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, every hot summer, if it is free, the people in the house will go to the tree to enjoy the coolness, or sit quietly and enjoy the spirit, or gather to talk, or sing to the wine, which is a happy thing. But there really isn't anyone who climbs a tree, except for children. Then don't mention living on it, even if it doesn't reach the crown of the tree and only the branches below, it is still about ten feet above the ground, and if you accidentally fall down while sleeping at night, it will definitely turn into a shocking pool of flesh.

But the scholar had been on it for half a month, and had only come down from the tree twice, and never came down again.

Probably because he was afraid that this strange scholar would fall to his death, Ding Weimao, the eldest young master of the house, personally led people to build a small wooden house on it, which took a whole day's work. It's not very well-made, but it's definitely solid.

As for the things used for eating and drinking, Ding Weimao personally sent them up, and he never borrowed them from others.

On this day, Ding Weimao helped an old man with gray hair to come there.

The old man looked up with a helpless wry smile on his face.

Ding Weimao caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help grinning, but he was hit by the cane in the old man's hand.

After the old man sat down on a clean rattan chair under the tree, he waved his hand at Ding Weimao impatiently, looking like he was driving the latter away.

Ding Weimao smiled, turned around and walked to the trunk, the trunk was full of three people hugging and thick, or even more than that. Ding Weimao stretched out his hand and grabbed a rattan hanging from above, only to see that he was like a spirit ape, and after a while, he went up to the tree.

Ding Weimao didn't knock on the door first, he pushed the door directly and entered, and saw the Mai scholar in the wooden house. The latter was looking down from a simple small window, and when he heard the door being pushed open, he did not look back, but only cursed, "Little nail, do you dare to come later? ”

I saw Ding Weimao take out a bag of things from his arms, wrapped them in oiled paper, and bulging.

The aroma of the carefully grilled chicken leaked out and burrowed into Mai's nostrils, who involuntarily took a deep breath.

What a fucking fragrance!(To be continued.) )
