Outside Anyang City, thirty miles south of the city, there are more than a dozen beautiful small lakes connected in a line. The lakeside is full of thousand-year-old peach trees, with flowers blooming all year round.
Exquisite pavilions are dotted by the lake and in the peach grove. The pavilions are far apart. In addition, the thousand-year-old peach trees are extremely dense. There are also high walls and bamboo groves to block the view. Each pavilion is its own small world, which is quite clean. and private.
These pavilions are also famous in Anyang City and are the finest academy pavilions.
The Jiuquxi Hall is a good place for the top dandy boys in Anyang City to have a feast. Countless young ladies in bright clothes and noble backgrounds are partying there day and night, making it very noisy.
And this little nameless lake, this academy pavilion in the peach forest of exquisite peach trees, is the place for leisure for those distinguished bosses.
A completely black and unremarkable carriage rumbled out of the peach forest.
Linghu Qingqing, who had a slightly rosy complexion, was sitting in the carriage, playing with a white silk scarf in her hand, with several chasing and playing little fish embroidered on it with silver silk thread.
The embroidery work on the silk scarf is excellent, and the little fishes are vivid, as if they are several live fishes swimming and jumping.
Linghu Qingqing, who usually had a tense face and a gloomy and solemn aura around her body, smiled rarely, squinted her eyes slightly, and gently stroked the little fish on the silk scarf.
There is a monastery in the peach forest called Guyueju. The girl inside is famous for her proficiency in music. Linghu Qingqing, the majestic Zuo Xiang of the Kingdom of Jin Dynasty, is a regular guest of Guyueju.
A few months ago, Guyueju launched several newcomers, among them there was a girl named 'Yinbao'er' who had an average tune but excellent embroidery skills. Inexplicably, Linghu Qingqing and this little girl met their eyes, and this girl also inexplicably stirred up Linghu Qingqing's state of mind like a deep pool with a dry well.
Using Linghu Qingqing's methods, Yinbao'er's life story was investigated in a very short period of time. There was no problem. She was an orphan adopted by Gu Yueju, a Qing-guan who was introduced after careful training. people.
This girl's attainments in Gu Yue Ju's most famous musical instrument were extremely bad, so she was quite ostracized and suppressed in Gu Yue Ju, but Linghu Qingqing just saw her right.
After getting along for a few months... Now that the Great Jin Kingdom and the Great Martial Kingdom are on the verge of a full-scale war, and the war may break out at any time, Linghu Qingqing can still find time to sit in Guyueju, drink some tea, and enjoy the Silver Fish scene. Embroider a silk scarf…
It can be seen how happy Linghu Qingqing is for this girl.
"It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult... If we really take her in... I'm afraid all the children and grandchildren will be embarrassed." Linghu Qingqing played with the silk scarf and frowned in annoyance. He really fell in love with Yinyu'er and wanted to take her back to Linghu's house and give her an identity.
However, Linghu Qingqing's status was too high and the interests involved were too huge.
Taking her back to the house would definitely cause an uproar.
Instead of taking her back home, she would be raised in another house
Linghu Qingqing smiled coldly and closed her eyes, fearing that Yinbao'er wouldn't survive more than a month!
Linghu Qingqing was a little troubled. With his power, strength, and the terrifying power he controlled, he couldn't properly place a little girl... It was true that nine out of ten people in the world were unhappy.
The carriage rumbled forward, and the driver who was driving it was white-haired and looked quite haggard. He was just a senile old man.
The carriage is also inconspicuous, and the white horse pulling the carriage is not very impressive. It is ordinary and inconspicuous.
Several big men in black clothes with bloody belts around their waists suddenly jumped out of the darkness on the side of the road. One of the big men grabbed the reins of the white horse and shouted in a low voice: "You old man, stop, stop." Come on, what are you doing? It’s so late, where are you going?”
The old man who drove the car, Linghu Ayi, was Linghu Qingqing's confidant all his life. He had been through a lot, and all the smoke and fire in his body had been completely worn away.
Seeing the ferocious looks of these big men, Linghu Ayi said softly and calmly: "Of course, back to the city."
Several big men sneered at the same time: "Go back to the city? The gates of Anyang City are blocked. Even the King of Heaven and I can't even think of entering the city. You go back to the city, where? How to go back? It's definitely not a good way to go back to the city."
Linghu Ayi didn't say a word, and Linghu Qingqing in the car was too lazy to speak. So what if the gates of Anyang City are closed? To put it more exaggeratedly, Anyang City closed its gates at night. If Sima Xian was locked out, he would have to abide by the rules and wait until the gates opened at dawn before entering the city.
But what about Linghu Qingqing? It was just a matter of his words. How big a deal was it to open a city gate? Among the generals guarding the gate, which one is not a pawn in the army cultivated by his Linghu clan
A big man stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage, wanting to see the people sitting in the carriage.
Linghu Ayi sighed softly, flicked the riding crop in his hand, and there was a crisp 'snap' sound. Several big men were whipped at the same time. Everyone was hit on the face, and the whole face was almost hit by the riding whip. It was torn off and blood spurted all over the body.
Several big men howled in pain and rolled on the ground holding their heads and faces.
Linghu Qingqing's good mood was ruined by these big men. He folded the silk scarf in his hand carefully and stuffed it into his sleeve, and then said slowly: "Go and check, what's going on? Anyang City, it's There are rules, but these rotten fish and shrimps are fooling around like this, who gave them the courage?"
In the darkness, dozens of twisted and erratic figures sprang out, quickly pulling the howling men into the darkness.
The carriage continued to move forward, and arrived outside the gate of Anyang City in a leisurely manner. Then a figure appeared out of thin air beside the carriage and said softly: "Master Prime Minister, I asked... It's Princess Jingsheng's person, Princess Jingsheng." I contacted a few good friends, mobilized people from their respective houses, and surrounded Anyang City, besieging those from Yuzhou, who may be the subordinates of the Duke of Yuzhou."
Linghu Qingqing was stunned, and then sneered: "You are fooling around, Princess Jingsheng... What are you doing at this time? Huh? Yuzhou? Are they blocking people from Yuzhou? I heard that Yuzhou has been very noisy these days, she What is this going to do?”
Frowning, Linghu Qingqing murmured: "Princess Jingsheng's son is dead, and I haven't seen her jumping like this... How did Duke Yuzhou provoke her?"
The figure said softly: "Princess Jingsheng has a lot of involvement in the Royal House of Internal Affairs. Princess Jingsheng takes a large part of Yuzhou's annual profits. In the past few days, there are several businesses in Yuzhou that are managed by Princess Jingsheng. The wealthy family's house was confiscated... Princess Jingsheng is angry!"
"Well, my son was killed, so I can ignore it... I lost my private money, so I became furious." Linghu Qingqing laughed: "Back then, His Majesty wanted to marry Princess Jing Sheng into my Linghu family. Fortunately, I rejected it, this kind of woman, tsk!"
"Let's make trouble, let's make trouble... let them go." Linghu Qingqing said coldly: "Over there in Yuzhou, keep a close eye. Haha, Captain Dongyuan, our Majesty, do you think he is really confused or not? How about pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?”
The figure outside the carriage said nothing. A gust of night wind blew by, and he disappeared silently in the night wind.
The heavy city gate of Anyang City opened silently, opening a gap just enough to accommodate the carriage. Linghu Ayi flicked his whip, and the carriage entered the city slowly.
When the sky dawned, he returned to his true appearance, wearing a deep purple first-grade ducal robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a jade seal hanging on his body. Wu Tie rode a two-horned dragon horse, surrounded by hundreds of Five Elements Elf masters who also rode strange beasts. Surrounded by people, Shi Shiran left Anyang City.
All war beasts come from the mountains and forests of Dazezhou, and are powerful ferocious beasts raised by the Five Elements elves.
All the war beasts and Five Elements Elf masters were loaded by Wu Tie using the Five Elements Space that came with the Five Elements Divine Light. With the small tricks of the big men in black along the way, and even the detection power of the precious mirrors at the gate of Anyang City, they could not be used at all. It is possible to detect the existence of the Five Elements Space.
A large group of men and horses swaggered through the city riding fierce, sturdy, and strange war beasts. Wu Tie's ducal robes were enough to dazzle the eyes. A group of five-element elves whose appearance was very different from humans were actually wearing high-level generals who were qualified to be promoted. Wearing heavy armor of immortal soldiers, a group of people walked through the city in a swaggering manner. I don't know how many people were frightened and blinded.
The streets were abuzz with excitement, with countless tough men in fine attire running and jumping around, and some were even cursing loudly.
Someone even unfolded a portrait in the street and compared the appearance of the person in the portrait with Wu Tie's at close range, and loud slaps continued to sound.
With so many people chasing and intercepting him outside Anyang City, the 'Yuzhou Duke' was actually allowed to bring so many living people into Anyang City... These tough men had already guessed how angry their master would be and how miserable their fate would be.
Wu Tie was like a big stone smashed into a deep pool, and the ripples spread rapidly.
Many people who received the news are speculating... Why did the Yuzhou Guild sneak into Anyang City? How did he get into the city? When he came to Anyang City, who did he meet, what did he do, and did he plot anything
More importantly, God-Emperor Sima Xian immediately awarded Yuzhou Duke 'Huo Xiong' a generous reward. Why didn't this Yuzhou Duke go to the imperial city to pay his respects, but instead led a large group of people out of the city
This is totally against common sense!
Especially the officials in charge of the etiquette of the Great Jin Dynasty were all messed up in the wind early in the morning.
'When Duke Yuzhou came to Anyang City, he did not submit the memorial to the Ministry of Rites as usual and wait for Sima Xian's summons, but instead took his people out of the city'
This kind of thing has never happened.
Among the newly ennobled knights, which one of them was not squatting in fear in the post house of the Ceremony Hall, waiting for Sima Xian's summons, and then went into the imperial city to kowtow to express gratitude and say some beautiful words about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country
Mei Shengxue, Gongyang Sanlu's protégé and the current master of the Great Jinli Hall, who also came from a poor family, heard the news from his subordinates. It is said that he broke the tea cup on the spot and slammed the table as 'ridiculous'!
There is no privacy in Anyang City. Mei Shengxue's two-character evaluation of 'Yuzhou Gong' immediately spread throughout Anyang City.
Wu Tie ignored the ups and downs in Anyang City. Sima Wuyou allowed him to do things conveniently and even gave him a God-Emperor Order that could represent Sima Xian's presence in person. What else did he have to be afraid of
Leading a large group of people, they galloped all the way out of Anyang City, followed a straight road eastward for eight hundred miles, and walked for two hundred miles on a branch road with beautiful mountains and clear waters. A row of low walls in front surrounded a vast garden. , this is the Dongyuan of the Jin Dynasty.
Dongyuan has special significance in the Jin Dynasty.
Many years ago, before the Jin Dynasty was founded, Dongyuan was where the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty once hunted and made a living.
Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, Dongyuan has become the royal hunting garden of the Jin Dynasty. Every three years, the emperors of the Jin Dynasty will bring their relatives, civil and military officials, and elite disciples of various families to Dongyuan to hunt. It shows that we will not forget the hard work of our ancestors in founding the country.
Dongyuan occupies a vast area, enclosing a mountain range that is thousands of miles in size. It is surrounded by a low wall about ten feet high. Common people are strictly prohibited from entering. There is a permanent Dongyuan Forbidden Army responsible for inspection and management.
Dongyuan has a permanent Dongyuan School Captain. This Dongyuan School Captain holds the rank of a first-class general and is responsible for managing the Dongyuan Forbidden Army and managing Dongyuan, which is thousands of miles in size.
At the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the Dongyuan Forbidden Army was the most elite army of the Jin Dynasty. It defended Anyang and the Imperial City. It was the sharpest knife in the hands of the God Emperor of the Jin Dynasty.
The world has changed. With the rise of permanent main force legions in the Kingdom of Jin Dynasty, and with the emergence of major generals from those permanent main force legions to take control of the military, the Dongyuan Forbidden Army has also transformed from the number one army in the world to a powerful force. A team of fish belly.
The Dongyuan Forbidden Army, which once often had tens of millions of soldiers and horses, now has millions of people on its books, but the actual number is probably less than 100,000, and a total of 900,000 troops have been eaten up.
Today's Dongyuan Forbidden Army is in disrepair. Although it still wears the guise of the First Army of the Royal Guards, its actual combat power is not as good as that of the private armies of small general families. Just a few years ago, there was a ridiculous incident where folk rangers secretly sneaked into Dongyuan to poach precious monsters and beat and seriously injured hundreds of Dongyuan forbidden soldiers.
In short, the current Dongyuan is just like Wu Tie saw.
It is a vast garden, with green mountains and green waters shrouded in light clouds, and countless palaces and pavilions hidden in the mountains and forests, but it lacks popularity.
Several dilapidated airships floated feebly in the air. Among the soldiers on the airships... there were actually a few lying on the bow of the ship early in the morning and dozing off in the sun!
Old, stale, and stale.
This is today's Dongyuan, which is now the Dongyuan Forbidden Army. It is also Sima Xian's will that Wu Tie, the newly minted Yuzhou Duke, be the actual Dongyuan Forbidden Army station.
Wu Tie's horse, Longma, slowly stopped at the main gate of Dongyuan, that is, outside the west gate.
Several tall, seemingly burly and sturdy soldiers shouted at the top of their lungs: "Then, then, who gave you the courage to stand there? Do you know where this place is? Who gave it to you? How dare you, are you just waiting there to die?"
Wu Tie squinted his eyes and looked at these soldiers whose cultivation was no higher than the Sensuan Realm, and snorted coldly.
With a cold snort, wind and thunder suddenly rose on the ground, and the west gate of Dongyuan was violently blown away with a "bang", and several soldiers were blown away together with the watchtower around them.
The soldiers vomited blood and the watchtower collapsed. Wu Tie patted the dragon and horse and took a few steps forward.
"Who is the leader here? Get out of here... I, Huo Xiong, your Majesty's Imperial Colonel of Dongyuan, took office today!"
The Lieutenant of Dongyuan is a royal imperial officer, directly under the command of the Jin Emperor, and the Jin Military Headquarters has no power to restrict him.
Therefore, there was no need to report to the military headquarters, Wu Tie took office directly.
Several soldiers who were thrown away raised their heads tremblingly and looked at Wu Tie in horror.
Suddenly a soldier shouted at the top of his lungs: "Go and inform the captain, the job robbers are here!"
The soldier's roar was sharp and shrill, like a mourning heir. Wu Tie and the group of Five Elements elves behind him were all dumbfounded.
What is this
Job-stealers are here
Who is taking whose job
How come the duties of Dongyuan Colonel and Dongyuan Forbidden Army turned into jobs
