Chapter 61: The Land of the Dragon

In Chang'an this year, the snow came very early. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Heavy snow has closed the city, and the once lively Suzaku Street has been depressed a lot.

But it's not just because of the snow.

It is rumored these days that their emperor is gone.

Yes, gone.

Although he claimed to be ill, he had never been in the early court, and the ministers had not seen the emperor for more than ten days.

Rumors spread, according to legend, more than ten years ago, the emperor disappeared after the early dynasty, and seemed to have been taken away, leaving only the body of his personal eunuch Yu Taihe Palace. He also disappeared with the Taiwei, so there is another theory of this rumor, that the Taiwei took the emperor away.

Of course, everyone probably knows that Sima Xu controls the government, and Xiahou Ming, the emperor, is just a puppet, so when it comes to Taiwei's abduction of the emperor, whether this is a robbery or a rescue, everyone has different opinions.

However, who will do this emperor is not much different for ordinary people, but outside Chang'an, a new king was established in the north, Tuoba Yuanwu stationed troops in Xijiang, and watched from the wall, and the army of Xishu and the imperial court was in full swing.

Even the uninformed puppet should smell the troubled times.

And this thing in troubled times.

It has always been a stage for heroes, but it is also a sad song for ordinary people.

After realizing this, many people fled to Youzhou in the rear, but more often they went to Jiangdong, where there are Li River moats, and I heard that there are disciples of Tianlan Academy there, and this may be the only pure land in the world.

And in the midst of this heavy snowfall, there was such a person, wrapped in a robe and covered with wind and snow on his shoulders, he slowly crossed Suzaku Street in Nuoda, all the way forward.

Such pedestrians were rare, but they were not unusual, and no one had ever stopped looking at him for even a moment.

He walked like this, leaving a long footprint in the snow-covered street.

Finally, he came to the door of the academy.

He raised his head, his eyes shining with some inexplicable look under the black robe, and he looked at the plaque.

Those are the two big characters written by the pen like a knife edge - Tianlan!

He stared for a long time, and finally sighed, and slowly walked up the stairs.

Hearing only a soft squeak, the man pushed open the gate of Tianlan Temple.

This Tianlan Courtyard, which has been empty since Xu Rang left, has finally ushered in a new owner.

The man looked around the scene in silence, the leaves all over the ground, and the university bent the branches of the once lush trees.

But he is still the same as he was back then, and he has not changed in the slightest.

I think that Xu Rang had already renovated this place during the time when he was in charge of Tianlan, so he was spared the mess after the fierce battle that year.

The man sighed again and walked into the courtyard gate, and the quaint gate of Tianlan made a soft sound at that time, and it closed automatically.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the sky was pouring down as if something had stabbed a huge basket. Although it is late autumn, the weather is like the middle of winter.

A cold wind blew, blowing off the man's robe over his head, revealing the handsome jade cheeks underneath, and the snow-white hair on his head was particularly eye-catching.

Plop.

He fell to his knees.

He said.

"Senior brother, Ruyi is back. ”

But except for the soft sound of the wind and snow swaying the branches, there was no other sound to answer him.

There are indeed many fewer people in Chang'an, but there is a saying that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the imperial capital is still the imperial capital.

Even in the early winter when the snow was falling, even though many people had already fled the place, there were already many drinkers in the liquor shop on the side of Suzaku Street.

"But it was said that Su Chang'an went to Xiliang, where the barbarian army had millions of soldiers!"

"This barbarian is not ordinary people, they are infinitely powerful, each of them is one zhang tall, among which the barbarian king Tuoba Yuanwu is more than seven zhang tall, every day to [young] children for food, according to legend, once a day to eat three hundred baby heads. ”

Syllable!

Speaking of this, the storyteller on the stage patted the startling wood in his hand, and said again with a straight look on his face.

"But Su Changan was resolutely not afraid, carrying the Nine Difficult Knife in his hand, and shouldering the ten-sided sword......

The storyteller was foaming at the mouth, and the drinkers in the audience listened with relish.

This storyteller is always a little different, others tell some clichΓ©d stories, but this gentleman likes to talk about Su Chang'an, who is rumored to be a spy of the demon clan.

But it is strange to say that such a rebellious remark did not attract the court's arrest, but attracted more and more drinkers, and it is precisely because of this that even in such a period of panic, this wine shop is still almost full.

And at the door of the wine shop, two figures, an old man and a young man, stood there, the old man was dressed in a green shirt, and his face was full of furrows, but his waist was straight, as if he was full of energy. The youngest, also in his thirties, wore sackcloth and carried an exaggerated giant sword on his back. They looked into the distance with deep eyes, which was the direction of Tianlan Temple.

On that day, the gate of Lanyuan was opened, and the old man finally withdrew his gaze.

He turned his head to look at the middle-aged man beside him, and said slowly, "Qianyan, how old are you this year?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and then replied, "Eight out of twenty." ”

"Hmm. The old man nodded, he reached out and stroked the beard at his chin, and said, "Eight out of twenty people stand at thirty, and you should also go out for a walk." Always staying in Chang'an is difficult to achieve after all. ”

"Huh?" The man was stunned, looked at the old man with some puzzlement, and asked: "But the barbarian army is stationed in Xijiang, and when the dust of the war in Xishu settles, it will inevitably send troops to seize Chang'an, and at that time..."

Speaking of this, the man paused and seemed to sense that this was inappropriate, but he still continued: "In such a critical period of survival, how can Qianyan leave his father, how can he let my Jinglun Academy's hundreds of years of foundation be ignored. ”

The old man shook his head, and said with a calm face: "Everyone has his own life, how can he force it, don't say that I am Jinglun Academy, you see how prosperous Tianlan used to be, and now it has not fallen into such a field? ”

The ......" man was silent for a while, obviously still a little hesitant, and he said: "But if the heroes have risen together today, and the troubled times have been completed, where should I go?"

"Koto. The old man responded.

"Koto, did my father ask me to defect to Tianlan?" the man asked.

But who knew that the old man shook his head at that time, and his eyes narrowed suddenly.

"Tianlan acted too strongly, and it was easy to break. ”

"What does the father mean?" the man became more and more puzzled.

"A thousand years ago, there was a Hanzu in Western Shu, and a hundred years ago, the Xiahou clan came out in the Central Plains, and this time, it was Jiangdong's turn. ”

"Jiangdong, but the land of the dragon. ”
