The trip to Shuzhou solved many problems, and more doubts emerged.
First of all, Momen suffered another heavy blow, and the hostility with Ye Qingxuan and others has reached a fever pitch.
Secondly, the cult of Zoroastrianism has been destroyed, and all countries in the Western Regions are carrying out operations to wipe out the remaining parties. At least for a hundred years, this cult will not pose a threat to the Central Plains. However, the life and death of its leader, Da Guangming Zun, is a mystery. As long as he does not know his life and death for a day, the entire martial arts and white people will not be able to sleep at night. Although this fear is temporarily suppressed, once it breaks out, it will inevitably cause new panic.
Because that guy's martial arts are really too powerful.
Half-step myth, looking at the whole Jianghu, there are not many people who are qualified to be his opponent.
In the end, the hostile attitude of Shuai Tianfan from Sansheng Island is probably something that must be faced and guarded against in the future, and the news of Xiao Bugan from Helian Zhixiong is even more suspicious.
It turned out that the old man who discovered the traces of his group was the legendary Changbai swordsman who had the strength to challenge Li Muchan, the peerless master who had been missing for decades and was rumored to be dead all the time...
Why did he appear there, and why did he seek refuge on Sansheng Island.
Are you willing to degenerate, or are you forced by others, as a last resort
Except for Momen, only Ye Qingxuan and others knew about this news. Whether to use it as the capital to win over Changbai Jianzong, this decision will be decided by Jiang Shuihan and Ji Guanglan who is hidden behind him.
In short, the results and doubts of all these are no longer what Ye Qingxuan is most concerned about at this time.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Qingxuan and his party hired a carriage, and Huyan Yunzhu suffered some internal injuries, so he and Guibiesheng were left to stay by Chu Lingxu's side and take care of mundane affairs.
And Ye Qingxuan, Meng Yuanyun, Nie Xingxie, Monk Ruhua, Mei Yinxue, and Tang Rou, the six joined Qin Zhao, the head of the Northern Shu Association, and his party, and headed straight for Beichuan.
The carriage was provided by the Northern Shu Association. Two female relatives were in one car, accompanied by maids arranged by the Northern Shu Association. It was arranged very comfortably. The other four elders also arranged their own carriages, but at this time the four of them were crowded. In one place, together with Qin Zhao, the head of the Northern Shu Association, and a steward named Feng Laoshi, they discussed things together in a huge carriage.
The Northern Shuhui is located in the north of Sichuan, connecting Hanzhong and the passage to Liangzhou in the west. It is very convenient for business contacts. It is very familiar with Xingyuan Mansion, Longyou Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion and other places in Liangzhou and Hanzhong. It is Jingzhao Mansion in the east The government also has its business dealings.
The steward named Feng Laoshi is a frequent visitor who often travels outside. He is a know-it-all of the Northern Shu Association and has a special understanding of these areas.
"To be honest, our Beishu Society also has business dealings with the Twelve Flying Eagle Castle, and we are quite well taken care of by the Eagle King..." Qin Zhao spoke, unable to resist the relationship.
Monk Ruhua said in a low voice, "Do you know King Ying?"
Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and he said awkwardly, "I know him, but I'm afraid the old man won't remember it. Eagle King has always supported the normal business dealings of our Central Plains Guild. At the birthday banquet, I was lucky enough to meet him once, but thinking about it, there were so many people at that time, and about twenty years had passed, how could the old man remember me..."
Oh, it turned out that it was just an ordinary note. This kind of opportunity is indeed not very impressive.
Nie Xingxie asked from the side: "How old is the Eagle King now?"
Meng Yuanjun smiled and said: "I'm afraid he is in his early eighties. You also know that these great masters who devote themselves to martial arts have always married very late. Our second brother was born when he was almost sixty years old." son."
Congenital masters are full of vitality, even if they are over a hundred years old, they can still marry a wife and have children.
"What about Senior Thief Saint?"
Meng Yuanyun curled his lips, and said: "My master is probably two hundred years old... and, hehe, I'm afraid he even has great-great-grandsons, but it's possible that he doesn't want them to set foot in the rivers and lakes, so he never admits it."
"Really?" Ye Qingxuan was taken aback.
"Of course I... guessed randomly, hehe." Meng Yuanyun smiled playfully, not doing anything right.
"But... what has your master been up to lately? Why hasn't there been any news from him?" Nie Xingxie asked.
"I don't know either. I heard that the old man Xue gave him a special task, and he has been looking outside to hear the news..."
Ye Qingxuan nodded and remained silent.
He does know a little about this matter, Thief Saint Baili Wuji is now in Beidi, grasping the situation of the Demon Sect's deployment in Beidi, and at the same time see if he can find his allies there to jointly deal with the invasion of the Demon Sect.
However, because this matter was relatively confidential and there were outsiders by his side, he did not intend to speak out.
"The main rudder of our Beishu Association is in Lizhou City in the north of Sichuan, which is the closest to Xingyuan Mansion in Hanzhong. The situation there is more complicated. Just the members of the Eight Great Families include the Helian Family and Longyou from Fengxiang Mansion. In addition, the local faction "Chongwuhui" also has a decisive influence under the management of its gang leader Huang Wuhou. Recently, the rivers and lakes are precarious, and the pressure on Beidi has increased greatly. The pressure on Yingwang is extremely high. It has also become a battleground for all parties to compete, if Ye Shaoxia passes through this place, he should be more cautious."
Everyone nodded frequently, Ye Qingxuan said: "This time we are only passing through the Xingyuan Mansion, we should not deal with these big gang figures, we must also ensure that we do not provoke right and wrong, pass through Hanzhong at the fastest speed, and go straight to Jingzhao Mansion. Then follow the Wei River straight into the big river, and then go straight down to Luodu."
It's just that Ye Qingxuan didn't say anything in private, if his own forces can occupy Hanzhong, cooperate with Liangzhou's Eagle King, and under the attack of both sides, destroy the army of Fengxiang Mansion, then Jingzhao Mansion will definitely be included in the bag, and in that way For the Luodu court, facing the oppression from the south and the west at the same time, the situation in the world will inevitably reverse drastically, allowing the fourth brother to unify the whole country in a very short period of time, and then form an unprecedentedly powerful force, oppress the demon gate, and even send troops to destroy Beidi.
This idea of mine has already been handed over to Xiahou Boxin by Chu Lingxu. I hope that with the coordination of this old man in the future, Shuzhou can be stabilized as soon as possible, Hanzhong can be occupied, and Liangzhou can be contacted. The Jingzhao Mansion exerted pressure on the Luodu court, so that it had to divide its troops to garrison and disperse its strength.
These things can be left to others to worry about. I just hope that my group can really find the Eagle King smoothly this time and prevent them from entering Luodu.
…
The clouds are light and the wind is light, approaching noon, and the flowers and willows pass by the Qianchuan River.
People at that time didn't know Yu Xinle, and they would call it a young man who sneaked away to learn.
Ye Qingxuan lay on his back on the roof of the carriage with dogtail grass in his mouth, and Mei Yinxue followed closely beside him, head to head, looking at the clear blue sky that was blown away by the wind and the clouds were blown away in extreme comfort.
Surrounded by green fields, the rice is about to mature, and the heavy ears of rice sway gently with the wind.
Green mountains, green water, blue sky, white clouds...
Weeping willows beside the road, old farmers in paddy fields, rows of houses, chickens and dogs smelling each other, it's such an idyllic scenery, and the farmhouse is relaxing.
"What a beauty-"
Mei Yinxue said lightly.
Ye Qingxuan chuckled, and said: "It's already the beginning of July. If we have a chance, we will come here in March or April. At that time, thousands of miles of rape blossoms bloom together, and the sky and the earth are like a yellow ocean. Absolutely." It is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Shenwu."
Mei Yinxue showed a longing look, "Are you serious?"
"certainly… "
A burst of laughter came and said: "Ye Shaoxia really knows the goods. Once the rapeseed flowers in the Hanzhong Basin are in full bloom, they are really beautiful. Lao Qin is a rough man, but seeing that scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Woolen cloth… "
Ye Qingxuan tightly held Mei Yinxue's catkin, lowered his voice and said: "When the world is peaceful, I will accompany you to travel all over China and see all the most beautiful places..."
Mei Yinxue nodded firmly.
"I'll accompany you then!" Meng Yuanyun said with a smile as he poked his head out from behind the carriage.
Mei Yinxue rolled her eyes, and the atmosphere was completely destroyed.
Hey hey...
Meng Yuanjun, who was finally disgusted by others, couldn't help being overjoyed. He shrank his head back into the carriage, and said to Tang Juan who was drinking tea next to him, "They don't welcome me, why don't we join forces!"
Tang Rou looked at him with a sweet smile, stretched her fingers, and a blue silver needle appeared in her hand, and at the same time said in the softest voice, "Try it, brother A Yuan!"
The male compatriots present were sweating on their foreheads at the same time.
That blue silver needle is jokingly called the "unprecedented needle" by people in the Jianghu. It only needs to pierce a little bit of skin, and the needle and poison will penetrate into the body. Within a month, every time he urinated, he felt pain like being pricked by needles.
However, Meng Yuanyun didn't catch a cold, so he looked at the silver needle, rubbed his chin, and said seriously: "How about we travel around the rivers and lakes and find that thieves to test needles?"
Tang Rou snorted coldly and muttered, "Smelly shameless!"
The group traveled safely and steadily. They first arrived at Lizhou City, bid farewell to Qin Zhao and others, and then headed north all the way. It took only ten days to arrive at Xingyuan Mansion from Chengdu Mansion.
The geographical location of Xingyuan Mansion is extremely important. It is necessary to pass through here when entering and exiting Shuzhou. The Hanzhong Basin itself is the most important grain producing area in the Northwest. During the harvest season, the streets are full of traffic and pedestrians are like crucian carp. Compared with the bustle of Chengdu Mansion. Even traveling from south to north, vendors from all over the world are even more so.
Seeing a pair of Qiang warriors walking across the street shyly, with their chests folded, and a few big men of the Di nationality leading their horses to swagger through the market, Ye Qingxuan and the others finally understood that the more they went west to the north, the more they became accustomed to such a situation. .
Hanzhong is still far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it already feels like a frontier.
The head of the Northern Shu Association was really enthusiastic. Although he himself couldn't accompany him because of his busy affairs, he asked the manager Zhao Laoshi who traveled all over the country to accompany him.
This Zhao Laoshi has an honest name, but he has a good eye. He knows the surrounding scenery like the palm of his hand along the way, and he speaks humorously. He is definitely a competent tour guide.
After entering a stone bridge, the opposite was the inn where they were staying. As soon as they followed Zhao Laoshi to the middle of the bridge, Meng Yuanyun suddenly sighed and said, "Unfortunately, the road is really narrow!"
Everyone looked in amazement, and saw a group of Di tribe warriors walking down the bridge, led by several Chinese warriors, carrying sabers. The person in front of him is one of the eight great disciples of Nalan Chengji and also the "White Tiger" Tsar Bagan, the beloved son of Beidi Youxian King.
