A hundred miles away from Wulingpo is a fertile field. The terrain is a flat plain, which is said to be very suitable for farming. However, in the starry night, there is no grain at all, and there are not even any households. There are only countless military tents. On display, in the bright starry night, you can see far into the distance, boundless.
Yizhang has such a rule that every early autumn, when the Autumn Fair is open, troops must be trained here for several days. This was probably because the current emperor, Yizhang, personally planted wild chrysanthemums on Wulingpo. Several military generals in the court who were very good at flattery worked together to bring their personal guards here for a few days to practice.
But unexpectedly, the original reason for this incident was that these generals who were worthy of setting foot in the Golden Palace were used to show their loyalty. But this matter came to the ears of the emperor, but it made the emperor Longyan very happy. He immediately wrote an imperial edict with a stroke of his pen, ordering soldiers and armors to be idle all over the border of Yizhang, and they would train here for ten days every year: First, it is the autumn and winter season. When men and horses are exhausted, a ten-day drill is enough to mobilize the spirit of the soldiers at all levels; secondly, it reminds the three armies that although the alliance still exists, they must not take it lightly. On weekdays, you can take the lead bravely, and you may not be able to make achievements on the battlefield in the future. .
Along with the few military attachés who were used as entertainment by their colleagues, their official ranks were also raised again and again, so the teasing and ridicule at the beginning were invariably replaced by words of approval.
Even though Emperor Quan has already entered his twilight years, civil and military officials do not dare to take the annual training of soldiers and armor lightly, and the battle is huge. There is no other reason for this, but although Emperor Quan is over seventy years old, his body is still strong and strong. Whenever he is practicing, he often comes to watch with his luan in hand. As a result, the officials do not dare to be negligent in the slightest and strive to do their best. Make this military training move to perfection.
In previous years, at the beginning of the training, the emperor would come here early to take a look. The silk umbrella canopy and the phoenix chariot with horse feet were extremely majestic. But this time it was different from previous years. Only a few ministers around the emperor came here to supervise, and there were no phoenixes. Drive here. Many military officials were a little suspicious, but no one dared to mention this matter.
After all, even though this Emperor Quan is so talented and courageous, he will still grow old one day. There are undercurrents surging among them, which are naturally not enough for outsiders to understand.
Dozens of miles away from the military formation, there is a very thin stream called Yishui. Although the water flow is so small that even a small boat may not be able to carry a leaf, it has existed since ancient times and has always been continuous. Most of the people in the villages here make a living by farming. Taking advantage of the few fertile soils left in the military training ground, they are not worried about the harvest. In their spare time, they just grab a net from the stream and occasionally get something.
Next to Yishui, a carriage came two days ago. Judging from the decorations in the carriage, it seemed that it belonged to a wealthy family. In the carriage, there was only an old man who was just over sixty years old and a young man with sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes. There are no servants besides him. Therefore, the people on the edge of Yishui didn't notice anything strange. They just thought it was the rich man who was traveling with his children. They met Yishui on the way and felt happy, thinking about staying here for a few days.
"Master Zhai, it's getting late, so why not take a rest first? It won't be too late to come back here to fish tomorrow." The handsome young man walked up to the old man, leaned over and whispered.
The old man was holding a fishing rod with a jade handle in his hand, and he was wrapped in a gray robe embroidered with gold. Although his clothes were extremely rich, at a quick glance, except for the gold embroidered thread on the robe, there was nothing valuable about him. Hearing this, the old man said, "Young man is very anxious. Let me ask you first, have you ever heard of Xiao Luochen, a female scholar in our dynasty?"
"Mr. Xiao is one of the five literary monarchs of Yizhang. He has a long-standing reputation and can be regarded as a mainstay in the literary world. I naturally know that." The young man still bowed his head and replied.
The old man nodded, as if he admired it very much, "I didn't expect you to be involved in some things in the world of literature. It's really good. I often tell you to look at all kinds of things in the world, even if you glance at trivial things, extraordinary things will not be delayed. It will bring countless benefits to your martial arts practice. Old people say that opening books is beneficial, but isn’t everything in the world just books? That’s the truth.”
Feeling that he was talking too much, the old man coughed twice, steadied the fishing rod in his hand, and then said again, "The little girl from the Xiao family once said that there is no need to sleep for a long time in life, and you will be in peace when you grow old. These words really touched me. Heart, in this world, if you miss a good moment because of a moment of rest, if you are in front of the Lord of the Underworld, even if there are thousands of clever words of lobbyists, it will not account for half of the truth, do you think so?"
The young man didn't say anything, he just straightened up and punched his back suddenly.
Yishui shook out ripples.
A very tall scholar came out of nowhere, took two steps back, and then bowed to the old man in the direction of the stream, "When I was on my way down, I heard the old man's words, and he was quite moved, so he showed up. There are many traces that may cause disturbance, so please don’t blame me.”
Seeing that the scholar was not hostile, the young man with sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes frowned slightly.
The force of his punch was probably enough to break the stomach of a person in the Third Realm. Moreover, the scholar did not seem to be on guard. It was indeed a bit unusual for him to punch hard to the lower abdomen, but only take two steps back. Therefore, the young man did not put down his fist, but waited quietly for the old man to speak.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm a martial arts fanatic. I always want to quarrel with others. I think I've bumped into you. At worst, I just asked him to accompany me." The old man waved his hand. The two crabs below were really chicken thieves. He had refused to bite the hook for two days. Now that the punch was shaking the stream, he would probably not be able to catch it tonight, so the old man put away his fishing rod and no longer had any intention of fishing.
The young man waved his hands quickly and said, "There is no need for this, old man. If nothing happens, I will go on my way first and you two will say goodbye." Then he hurriedly raised his feet and moved forward.
"Is your master okay now?" the old man said with a smile.
The scholar was stunned for a moment, but when he turned back to look, there was a clear look in his eyes. Just as he was about to salute, the old man who rushed over held his hands in his hands.
"Why is it necessary?" the old man said with a smile, "but please don't make any announcement about my coming here. I came here just to take this opportunity to see who among the palace and army can't bear their temper. , put his neck on the knife in my hand; secondly, I will give an explanation to your master. Weiwei Yizhang actually made the crazy woman from Nanli and the secret man from Qiling sneak into the foot of Nangong Mountain, I thought Look, the huge Huayuan Mountain and the two national gates have really become the possessions of other countries."
Within half an hour, over countless military tents, a scholar walked on the moon in a majestic way.
Just like an immortal passing through Wuling.
