Fuli City has been built for more than 400 years. It is surrounded by Hongshui natural barrier in the north, a mountain barrier in the east, the winding Qiling Mountains in the west, and Mengye Daze in the south. It is protected by natural terrain on all sides. In front of the city, there is a plain formed by the alluvial plains of Daze. It is thousands of miles of fertile fields and rich in products, providing abundant food products.
Such a uniquely endowed place, where retreat can be defended by danger, and advance can defeat other countries, is the foundation of the Zhao State and the place where Longxing thrives.
Wu Gen looked at the majestic city from a distance under the sky, which was winding for unknown miles, with walls that pierced into the sky. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he could get this treasure land, what would happen to his royal family?
When entering the city, the interrogation was not very strict. After briefly checking Wu Gen's route, the guards let him into the city. As soon as he entered the city, Wu Gen was almost dazzled. Without him, this city was too big.
Hundreds of houses are like a chess board, and the 28 streets are like vegetable beds. The whole Fuli has Chengtian Street as its central axis, and the houses are side by side, and the doors and lanes are straight.
Among them, the Imperial City faces south and is the highest point in the city. It is large in scale and has majestic buildings. According to the principle that officials are close to the palace and industry and commerce are close to the city, all dignitaries live in the North City.
But the most prosperous city in the city is the nine cities, six in the west and three in the east, distributed in the east and west cities, gathering merchants from all counties and countries, with teahouses, wine shops, gourmet bars, casinos, etc. all available. Everywhere you look, there are brothels, painted pavilions, and embroidered beaded curtains. Carved carriages and horse-drawn carriages compete with each other in Tianjie. The sun shines brightly all around and the flowers are fragrant.
Walking here, Wu Gen's jaw never closed. It was really eye-opening that there is such a prosperous place in the world.
After wandering around for a long time, Wu Gen walked to the south of the city, where civilians lived, and found an inn to settle down.
Early the next morning, Wu Gen held a piece of cake in his mouth and headed to the north of the city to find the whereabouts of Zhu Qian's paintings. But in this huge Fuli City, there were many streets and alleys. After a few turns, Wu Gen got lost in it and finally returned to the inn after asking around all the way.
Wu Gendu wandered around the city for two days and finally found the Imperial College. When the sun set, he did not see Zhu Buzhan.
On this day, Wu Gen wandered to the West Market. Because I was tired from walking, I sat under a bridge to rest.
For the past two days, she was still dressed as a pregnant woman. The holly eggs in her arms were as stone-like and unresponsive. Sitting on the stone embankment under the bridge, Wu Gen held his chin and watched the river flow, with sadness gradually rising in his brows. This caused a lot of concerned looks from people walking on the bridge, fearing that the woman had been abandoned by the chaos and would commit suicide by jumping into the river.
When he was in Zhujuan Kingdom, Wu Gen's thoughts were like water, and he spent every day thinking about returning.
After all, boys and girls are just beginning to fall in love, and a little bit of emotion is ignited, just like a burning fire cooking oil, blazing and intense. As the saying goes, if you don't see him for a day, you will think about him like crazy, which makes no sense.
But after all, after going through so many ups and downs, seeing Taoye, the female ghost in the hotel, etc., when I arrived in Fuli, I started to feel melancholy, a little timid, and I thought more.
I am just a middle-aged man, jobless and homeless, how can I be with Zhu Qianhua? Aunt Zhao, who was beside Zhu Qianhua, once teased that frogs and toads are the right thing to do, so don't be wishful thinking.
It is true that young people in this world are in love like a fire at the beginning and are fearless. They think that they can finally break through the barriers and the lovers will finally get married, but in the end they often end miserably. Don’t you see, there are so many men and women in the play who die in love, not being together in life and separated in death. .cao
After all, this is still a peaceful and prosperous age, and the hierarchical system in the world has not been broken. If it is really because of Zhu Qian's painting, it would be better to fight each other than not to see each other.
While he was thinking about it, something hit him on the head. Wu Gen suddenly woke up, turned around and saw that it was a straw sandal.
Wu Gen glared, put his hands on his hips, and was ready to curse like a shrew. I looked up and saw an old man with a white beard on the bridge, holding a bamboo stick and looking apologetic.
The anger in his heart melted away immediately. Looking at the old man's age, he was past the age of hearing, so how could he care about him. Picking up the shoes, Wu Gen went up to the bridge and put the shoes on the old man's feet.
"Thank you, girl. It's not convenient to see you, but you helped me pick up my shoes. I'm old and useless. Even these shoes are bullying the old man." The old man smiled and looked kind.
"It doesn't matter, the road on the bridge is slippery, I drive slowly." Wu Gen didn't resent it. He watched the old man get off the bridge, turned around and returned to the bridge, and continued to sigh.
sleepy
Suddenly, something hit his head again. Wu Gen turned around and saw that it was still a straw sandal, the style was exactly the same as the one just now.
I took a deep breath and said silently in my heart, don't be angry, don't be angry, just do one good deed that day. Reaching out to pick up the shoes, Wu Gen walked to the bridge and said with a wry smile: "Old man, are you having trouble crossing this bridge and walking back and forth? And these shoes, it's better to change to a smaller pair."
Today I hit a boy... a little girl. If I hit a noble person, it would be weird to break your legs. Even if it can't hit the noble person, it's not good to hurt the flowers and plants. "
The old man bowed repeatedly and said, "I'm really sorry, girl. I don't know which dog picked up the shoes I left at the door yesterday. I went out in a hurry today and wore a pair of shoes casually, but I was not as obedient as the old man."
By the way, girl, how many months have you been pregnant? Judging from your skills, you are very strong. The old man knows some tricks, but he can tell the difference between men and women. I wonder if the girl is willing to give it a try. "
Wu Gen frowned. There were many scammers doing this kind of thing in the world. Could it be possible that he had encountered one today. Besides, a pregnant woman has been sitting by the river for a while. How can anyone ask about the month of pregnancy while sitting there?
Wu Gen got off the bridge angrily. He really didn't want to talk to this somewhat dim old man.
In less than one stick of incense, another thing fell on top of my head. Wu Gen reached out to pick up the familiar-looking shoe and walked to the bridge.
The old face was still smiling, "Sorry for bothering you, girl."
Wu Gen bared his teeth and said with a sinister smile: "You're welcome." He knelt down and handed out the shoes. The old man stretched out his feet, waiting for Wu Gen to put on his shoes.
Suddenly, Wu Gen stood up and threw his shoes hard, like a shooting star, drawing an arc and falling far into the river.
The old man turned his head in shock and looked at Wu Gen in disbelief.
"Old man, you've been playing tricks on me again and again. Who can pick someone else's shoes and fly on the head of a big girl every day." No matter how stupid Wu Gen is, he knows that the old man is deliberately teasing him.
"How could you, a young man like me, frame a dying old man like me like this? Today's young people are really becoming less and less ignorant of etiquette. They don't know how to respect the elderly and be considerate of the weak. They are really speaking in a toneless manner and speaking wildly. I don’t know how the elders in the family discipline them.” The old man was giving orders and kept scolding.
When Wu Gen heard this, he quit. Before he could show off his power, he was scolded by others, "You old man, you dare to scold me. You old pervert, you peeped at a girl taking a bath when you were three years old, and you forced a girl to take a bath when you were four. Peeping at you taking a shower, sitting on the street at the age of five and letting people peek at you taking a shower..."
Wu Gen has a sharp tongue and spittle flies everywhere. The old man's eyes were dull and he was speechless for a moment. After a while, he finally managed to say, "Aren't you tired, kid?"
"I'm not tired. I'm only thirty years old. I still have some years left." Wu Gen wiped his mouth, secretly expressing his energy, and prepared to continue fighting the old man.
"You, you, you..." The old man covered his chest with his angry hands, pointing at Wu Gen with trembling fingers, and his body fell sideways.
Seeing that something was not going well, Wu Gen looked around guiltily, turned around and ran under the bridge with his big belly, his steps were nimble, and he didn't look like a pregnant woman at all. These days, anyone who is older can't afford to offend him. If he does, it would be strange not to lose everything.
After running a few dozen steps, the sound of bamboo sticks hitting stone slabs came from behind. Turning around, he saw that the old man no longer looked as sleepy as before. His hair and beard were flaring, and he was walking with a stick in anger. He didn't look old at all.
Wu Gen's crotch tightened in fear, it was over, this was going to be blackmail. The magic movement was activated, and passers-by saw an afterimage flying across the street. The strong wind blew down the stalls on the roadside, lifted up the skirts of girls, chased away cats, provoked dogs, and everywhere it passed, chickens and dogs flew.
After walking around a few streets, Wu Gen felt slightly relaxed. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye. He saw an old man full of energy, walking as fast as flying, with his beard and hair flying straight back. He was only a dozen steps away from him.
Damn it, Wu Gen exclaimed and ran like crazy, but the old man was always following him a dozen or so steps behind, and he couldn't get away no matter what. After running for half an hour, they had reached the outside of the city. There was a small lake in front of them and there was no way out.
Wu Gen stopped and placed his hands on his knees, gasping for air. The old man is calm and collected
He walked up to Wu Gen and said, "Keep running. Where did the curse just come from?"
Wu Gen clasped his hands together and begged for mercy, "Sir, you are so magnanimous and kind, please let me go. I know I was wrong." This seemingly ordinary old man actually has a lot of cultivation, even the magic of magic. Can't escape each other.
"Okay, stop pretending to be a girl. Believe it or not, I took off my pants on the spot and delivered the baby to you." The old man said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Gen took out the two pears from his back and stood beside the old man.
"Boy, what's your name?" the old man asked as he walked.
"Wu Yi." Wu Gen said casually.
"Here's Zhu Er." The old man hit Wu Gen on the head with his stick, "Be more honest."
"...Wu Gen." Wu Gen felt aggrieved.
"Oh, he's the one who makes Zhao Chang restless. Well, the whole capital is a mess for you to torment." The old man said casually.
Wu Gen paused, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, "Who are you?" How can a person who can say the two words "Zhao Chang" in an understatement be an ordinary person?
"Jian Xing, Master of the State of Zhao." The old man answered simply.
"Oh." Wu Gen agreed casually, then suddenly raised his head, "What, Imperial Master?"
The Imperial Master of the State of Zhao is a special being. He has the Zhaoxuan Division under him, which is beyond the administrative system of the imperial court and manages all kinds of people.
The position of National Preceptor is usually held by a large sect, but recently three National Preceptors have come from the Guiyuan Sect, which is the sect that Chu Ji originally wanted to join. Guiyuan Sect is the largest cultivation sect in the Zhao Kingdom. There are many capable people in the sect, and even the royal family has many people practicing in it.
Wu Gen fell into the hands of this imperial master today, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, he had just escaped from the Zhao Kingdom in the name of sending Chu Ji into the Guiyuan Sect.
"But King Jinchun wants to take me back." Wu Gen blurted out, feeling uneasy in his heart. This Master Jian was obviously coming for him, and his identity had probably been exposed. If he was entrusted by King Jinchun, Wu Gen would find it difficult to escape.
"King Jinchun, he is just a clown. He thought he had recruited some practitioners and acted arbitrarily. He is not very capable and has great ambition. How can he control the old man?" Jian Xing said disdainfully.
When Wu Gen heard this, he finally felt a little relieved. No matter why the Imperial Master condescended to find him, there was no fear for his life. "I don't know why the old Imperial Master is looking for this kid."
"Am I old?" Jian Xing rolled his eyes, "Did you know that Qiyu, the best Goulan Happy Forest in the capital, said that I am young? By the way, wash off the rouge on your face, like The monkey's butt is dangling in front of the eyes, which is very annoying to the eyes."
Wu Gen agreed, quickly went to the lake to wash off the rouge on his face, and took out the holly egg from his arms. In front of this national master, there is no need to think about hiding things, old people are jealous.
Regardless of Wu Gentong's disapproval, Jian Xing took the egg and weighed it in his hand, "I won't borrow it, even Beirong's holly bird is here. Boy, Qian Hua is really blind when he falls in love with you."
Zhu Qian painted and Wu Gen was stunned when he heard this.
