According to a line report from the Denwen Academy, the ceremony for the restoration of the kingdom of Xiliang is imminent, and it is related to the support of Nanzhao and Tubo to break away from the status of the Ming state. It is said that a series of memorandums of strategic cooperation have been signed between the three countries. Over the past two decades, the Ming Dynasty has been strong under Zhu Wuneng's governance, but there are also some hidden dangers that have gradually eroded the foundation of Ming Dynasty.
War, not to mention justice or not, to put it plainly is a process of violent resource redistribution. Xiliang controls the Hexi Corridor and is the only way for Ming Dynasty to reach the Western Regions. If Xiliang succeeded in breaking away from the rule of Ming Dynasty this time, it would be equivalent to choking the road of Ming Dynasty's western trade, which severely hindered the implementation of the "********" national policy proposed by Emperor Ming.
Of course, Xiliang is not without relying on it. Over the past two hundred years, he has made good relations with the Ming Dynasty as a Fanbang country and has obtained a large number of preferential trade policies. The annual trade surplus with Daming has brought a steady stream of real money from Daming to Xiliang. Coupled with years of conquests with the countries of the Western Regions, Xiliang has built a 300,000 cavalry division.
Although the Ming army is powerful, the border between Donglai and Daming is three hundred miles away, and there is the Kubuqi Desert in the middle. The land of Upper Xiliang is nowhere in sight.
Daxi was also a wonderful person, saying that he would not snatch the jade seal of the country, and he would never mention it along the way. Two days later, the three came to Donglai City.
Unlike the border town of Daming, the city wall of Donglai city is not high, and it is built of sand. Because the military exercises of the West Army of the Ming Dynasty held military exercises in Xiangshawan, Xiliang also stationed 20,000 cavalry outside Donglai city, claiming to be Both countries know the true purpose of coming here to rest.
Although Xiliang followed the example of Ming Dynasty to promote Sinicization for two hundred years, Donglai City still retains part of the grassland customs, and weapons control is not implemented in the city. The Xiliang Restoration Ceremony is just around the corner, and Donglai is also a traffic fortress. On the streets, there are often quacks traveling with swords. Residents in the city are accustomed to this.
Shen Luoyan was also refreshed and arranged an inn for the two of me in Donglai City. After ten days of rushing and exhausting, I was finally able to take a hot bath and change into clean clothes.
I was hesitant to contact the Dengwenyuan stronghold in Donglai City, but Xie Delong told me how to contact me. After thinking about it again and again, I decided not to contact me for the time being. Before the ceremony for the restoration of the country, I had to go to Xiliang Jiange to deliver express delivery. Thinking about Shen Luoyan's attitude, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
It's almost time for Liu Qingfeng to go to Xiliang City. It is said that the kid was proud of the spring breeze in Wudang Mountain, but he didn't know if he was embracing the beauty. Feng Laosi, Mosaic and others, I was a little worried. After I separated from them that night, I wonder if I have encountered a wolf thief and can reach Xiliang safely.
I was overjoyed and knocked on the door, saying that he would invite me to dinner. We went to a tea shop on the side of the road, ordered some meat and vegetable dishes, and tasted them slowly. Daxi has a gentle personality, is not good at talking, and does not like to drink. The two of them don't talk much. I ordered the wine and poured it myself.
If you say that the most informed place in the world, it is nothing more than brothels and inns. In the inn, there are a few tables of guests who are coming to Xiliang in recent days.
These diners know astronomy and geography in the first place. They know 500 years before and 500 years later, and they like to gossip like those stubborn masters in Beijing. What about the marriage between the military governor Ma Huatong and Shen Luoyan, the affair between the mother of Xiliang and a certain minister, casually talked about. Fortunately, there is no Jinyiwei in Xiliang, and the Xiliang court can't help it.
A short-shirted man stopped for a cup of herbal tea and drank, saying: If you want to talk about the recent events in Xiliang, apart from the Mingchun Resurrection Ceremony, you will have to invite the Fifty Two Living Buddha's Water and Land Conference and Zhaoyang Princess Zhaoyang. I worship the Buddha in Xiliang. This time, your Majesty invited the Five and Two Living Buddhas to cheer for the restoration ceremony, and even on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, he argued with the Central Plains Master Hu Lai on the Buddha.
A Jianghu swordsman dressed up in the Central Plains asked curiously, in the Lower Central Plains, he had a knife in the Central Plains, and he had been admiring the Xiliang event for a long time.
That blouse Han Dao, who is the first beauty in Xiliang? Jiange Shen Luoyan? No, it is said that the Princess Chaoyang gave birth to a closed moon, shameless flower, and Shen Yuluoyan. This time the princess invites relatives. It is said that regardless of country or origin, as long as you are single, answer three questions and the princess will have the opportunity to leap over the dragon gate and become Xiliang. If it weren't for a family, even I couldn't help but try it!
The knife man was about to ask again, only to hear someone shouting in the distance, Qiao Laolai, where did you die
The guy in the short shirt drank the tea in a few mouthfuls. After that, the lady boss called me to move the bricks. After saying that he paid the tea money, he hurriedly left.
Is there such a good thing in the world? Qiao Laolai's words caused a discussion among all the people present. Some people moved their minds and quickly settled the tea money and went to Xishuicheng, the capital of Xiliang.
At this moment, two groups of people walked into the tea shop one after the other, and these people had just arrived in Xiliang. These two groups of people are well-dressed, and they are not wearing Central Plains clothing, but judging from the guards surrounded by them, they are extraordinary.
Oops, isn't this the prince of Nanzhao's slogan? Have you come to Xiliang, too
Oh, isn't this a cadre of Songtsan, the prince of Tubo? Have you come to Xiliang, too
The two greeted them with a smile without a smile, and the guards stood on both sides, the atmosphere was a little weird. Xie Delong once said that Nanzhao and Tubo sent envoys to observe the ceremony at the Xiliang Restoration Ceremony. It was the princes of the two countries who unexpectedly came. It seems that apart from watching the ceremony, it is very likely that the princess of Xiliang was invited to invite relatives. .
Duan Shou Dao, are you also here for Princess Zhaoyang
Songtsan cadres laughed, each other! Princess Zhaoyang recruited her relatives. I thought it was something in the bag. Brother Duan also came. My pressure has increased greatly!
When a guy came to tea, the two moved a stool to sit together and talked.
Duanzishoudao, I can't think of it, but I heard that Brother Songzan already has a wife and children in his family, so why did he come to Xiliang to mix up this muddy water
Songzan waved his hand, I have already closed the paper and sent them back to their parents' home. By the way, Brother Duan, I heard that you built Wanmei Building in Nanzhao State and raised more than one hundred wives, so romantic!
Buried! For the princess Xiliang, I buried all those women for my brother!
Song Zan gave a thumbs up, or you absolutely, I admire it!
Duan Zishou asked again, this time the Prince of Persia did not come, do you know why
Song Chan sighed, you don't know anything, that kid has a new sacred fire order martial arts, who knows it is Sanskrit, he thought it was great to have passed the fourth level of Sanskrit. Guess what? I got into a delusion, practiced half-body discomfort, and still feel unconscious. But it's okay, it's a rival for the two of us.
Duan Zishou screamed, and a sense of superiority emerged spontaneously. I am still a good student of Nanzhao Duan's martial arts. The Six Meridian Swords are all illustrated versions, with rich pictures and texts, which greatly reduces the probability of getting into trouble. You see, I don’t know a few big Chinese characters. According to Huhuamao, I am now a Level 3 master!
A fragrant wind passed, Shen Luoyan came to the tea shop, you are here, I have been looking for you two for a long time. Shen Luoyan was dressed and dressed at this time, very charming and very pretty. I quickly gave her a seat, what's the command of the little pavilion master
The Songzan cadre and Duan Zishou saw Shen Luoyan, their eyes glowed, they saw the two rock-paper-scissors, Songzan won, and came to talk to the cadre of Songzan, the prince of Tubo, I don’t know what this girl is called
In the next paragraph, I live in Nanzhao and Dali. Please come and play with the girl!
Seeing the two of them, Shen Luoyan showed boredom and got out of the way.
I couldn't help but cheer. It seemed that she was born like this. I was relieved when she thought of her words that blocked me half-dead when the dragon head turned abruptly.
As soon as the words came out, the guards from Tubo and Nanzhao drew their swords out of their sheaths. The two princes waved their hands, don't be abrupt to the beauty!
Shen Luoyan got up suddenly, the sword was not out of its sheath, and the man was like a sword. A burst of sword intent came, and the princes of the two countries could not help taking two steps back. Those entourages were also staring at Shen Luoyan as if they were facing the enemy, to prevent her from violent and hurting others.
Shen Luoyan smiled, his sword intent receded, and he patted the head of Duan Shou, saying, in the Xiliang site, I don't care what kind of prince you are. I annoyed this girl and made you unable to eat!
I believe! I wonder.
The princes of the two countries were boring and sat back to drink tea.
A long way outside the tea shop, the iron mouth broke straight, and a thousand dollars!
Why do you sound so familiar? I followed the prestige and saw a young man dressed in patched linen and holding the guise of the first photographer shouting in the street, who is it if it’s not teak? I was about to call him, remembering that I was changing my face, and Shen Luoyan was beside him, and quickly swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Duan Shouqudao, fortune teller, come here!
Teak heard the words, walked into the tea shop, and saw me. I shook my head slightly, teak knowingly, smiled at the corner of my mouth, and said to the two princes, I wonder if the two are going to be fortune-telling
Duan Shou Dao, are you sure of the calculation
Teak sees business, and connects Dao, the fifteenth-generation descendant of the prime minister Senai Mai's divine image. You must be accurate in measuring characters, facing faces, and fortune-telling! Ten taels of silver per hexagram, no money is allowed!
I thought you weren’t a descendant of the 29th generation. Why did you go back to more than ten generations without seeing you for half a year? And the price has risen from twenty to ten taels.
Cadre Songzan said, it’s better for you to count, what do we want to count? If it is right, I will give you twelve taels of gold. If it's not right, don't blame us for chopping you up and feeding the dog!
Teak automatically ignored the latter sentence, stretched out a pair of dirty hands, and paid first. Songzan casually threw him a piece of silver, said, can you tell me something
Teak pinched his fingers and muttered a word. After a while, the son was dressed gorgeously, and he was not short of money. It must be a marriage
I suspect that Teak just eavesdropped not far away and deliberately went out to cheat.
The scriptures and the Taoist priests are really gods! I don't know how we are married during this trip to Xiliang
Teak glanced at Duan Shou, too lazy to pay attention to him, Duan Shou hurriedly sent a piece of silver. Teak took it, and asked for the two characters to show off. I think the two characters are in opposition to each other, and they are in a trend of Shuanglong grabbing beads. Could it be for the princess Xiliang
The two are moved, so who will embrace the beauty
Teak said, both of them are possible, and it may be very big, but this matter involves a secret, and I dare not easily disclose it to the little minister.
With a snap, twelve taels of gold slapped on the table. Songzan said, don't want mother-in-law, hurry up!
Teak put the gold in his sleeves lightly, took out two pieces of yellow paper, borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a few words on them, put them in two kits, and handed them to two people: the answer is right there. The tips are in the bag, but they can only be opened when it is important to recruit relatives, otherwise it won't work.
I can't help but secretly praise, this kid has become more sophisticated in deception. If the two of them are as he said, even if there is a problem in the future, where can they go to find him
The two of them finished their tea and took them away. Before leaving, Duan Zishou didn't forget to ask Shen Luoyan, this is the contact information in Xiliang, the girl has time to Xishuicheng, why not enjoy the snow together? Shen Luoyan ignored it directly.
Teak made a victory and shouted, man, ten bowls of hot tea! After all, put out thirty-wen copper plates. The guy snickered, can you finish the drink
Teak glared, Lao Tzu is rich, drink five bowls, pour five bowls, can you control it? When the tea comes in, teak is tasted alone, looking to me from time to time.
Shen Luoyan suddenly said, help me figure it out!
Teak doesn't know our relationship, scratching his head and saying, the girl also asks for marriage
Shen Luoyandao, I'm looking for someone!
Teak said, I'm good at this, but Gua Jin may be slightly more expensive...
With a snap, the long sword slapped on the table, the long sword was unsheathed, the sword intent was awe-inspiring, and Shen Luoyan smiled and said, how expensive is it
Teak tea almost squirted out in a sip, link, free, free!
Shen Luoyan said, help me calculate, Qin Sanguan of the Central Plains Escort, can he be in Xiliang now
I took a sigh of relief in my heart. Don’t talk about baldness, this kid, when I wink him, teak road, girl, fortune-telling, one is sincere, and second, the person you are looking for should be with a girl. It's related, I wonder why the girl is looking for him
Shen Luoyan said coldly, avenging his brother and beheading others!
I am directly speechless to this little lady. I provoke you. I want to use my head at every turn. I don’t know if a man can’t touch her feet
Teak gave me a playful look, took a sip of tea and asked, what about the girl's character? Can there be those eight characters for Qin Sanguan’s birthday
Shen Luoyan reported his eight characters and said, Qin Sanguan, Ding Maonian, Renshenyue, Guisiri, Bingchenshi.
I said in my heart how much grievances we must have, you can check me out.
The teak pinch finger counts, um, you two don’t agree with each other, you are born to restrain each other, even if you are a husband and wife...
With a cry of Canglang, the long sword came out of its sheath and rested on the teak neck.
Shen Luoyan: I asked you to count this
Teak even changed his mouth. According to my calculations, Qin Sanguan should have arrived in Xiliang at the moment, northwest of the fate star, bleak and bleak, a sign of great evil, presumably his life will not be saved without waiting for the girl to take action.
Shen Luoyan said fiercely, hum, I have to die if I want to die.
Teak took his life back, and was about to run away. Shen Luoyan shouted, come back. Teak came back obediently, crying sadly, what is the girl
Shen Luoyan pointed at me, why don't you help him count a trigram
Teak grinned, I wonder what this young man is asking for
I was silent.
Teak then asked, seeking marriage
I shook my head.
Seeking fortune
I then shook my head.
Teak is in a hurry, so don't ask for this, don't ask for that, what on earth do you want to ask for
I said lightly, ask for a monthly pass!
