When snow flakes fell all over the Yuan Dynasty, it was suddenly covered in silver.
And this is the third time that the Yuan Dynasty has been shrouded in beacon smoke.
But no matter which city we live in, the faces of passers-by and residents are not very smiling. Even though the Zhengzhang Royal Court tried its best to provide for the people's livelihood, it did not have much food and money to save during the war. It was not easy to feed the army at the Luzhou fortress. There were many taxes and corvees during the war, and everyone had a hard time. Therefore, in the words of the literati with considerable money, the first snowfall not far away in the coming year is the most obvious one. It seems to fall along the skirts of the clothes and into the bones and bones, making it extremely cold.
Fortunately, the people in Zhusang Road also took advantage of the last time when the demon tide was raging. Most of them moved to Dayuan and were scattered in several cities. Moreover, due to the market that Shao Hehan had previously set up, many of them were accustomed to going there. Merchants doing business on Zhusang Road were also attracted. Slightly alleviate the shortage of money and food in the royal court.
It is estimated that no one in Zihao ever thought that Zhu Sangdao, who was already very envious of his business dealings, would move away from his hometown with Zhu Sangdao, which would also lead merchants from all over to Dayuan. Although it was the same as Zihao's border area, It's convenient, but the businessmen who come and go here are really a bit shabby compared to the businessmen who go to Dayuan. It's like an ingenious tea snack that has clearly reached the mouth, but it has no reason to have feet to go. Arriving at the boundary of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the royal court was able to sit back and enjoy the harvest, leaving only a few scraps that could not satisfy the needs of the emperor.
And Hehan, the chief minister of the royal court who had only been in power for a few years, knew how to advance and retreat in a measured manner. Instead, he reduced the taxes and servitude to extremely low levels in several cities where the people of Zhusang Road were settled, and the master of Zhusang Road went to the royal court to pay his respects. , took over the money and food gathered from the common people and merchants in Zhusang Road.
It can be said that in addition to the Luzhou Barrier, Wang Ting was increasingly able to control the future situation of the war.
On this day when the first snow fell, a travel-traveled visitor came to the border gate of Dayuan.
This young man is very young, with handsome features, but there is always a hint of femininity in him. He looks like a rich man in every gesture. He has a long sword without tangs hanging on his waist, just like many outsiders who come to do business. I walked through the somewhat desolate and dilapidated border, but my expression was always ordinary, as if I were an ordinary high-ranking young man out for a leisurely stroll, looking here and there, leisurely and at ease.
There are two Five Realms guarding Dayuan Border Gate, so it is easier to deal with the demon tide than other places. Although it is not necessarily possible that one Five Realms can withstand a hundred thousand troops, but it can be faced with such a large-scale chaos as the Demon Tide. , it is the cultivators who have the upper hand, not to mention that Poison Master’s alluring cicada is the most unreasonable. Everyone in the world who knows about the demon tide knows that these monsters are evil and like to eat people, and feed on the people of the world. , but the Qingcheng Cicada feeds on monsters and is very nourishing. In this season of demonic chaos, it not only replenished the Qingcheng Cicada that was originally buried in the hands of the incarnation of Shan Taorong, but also became stronger.
Therefore, Wen Yu had no chance to use the back-ups he originally had. Instead, he relied on thousands of local warriors to firmly stop the monsters outside the border. Although they went through several dangerous situations, fortunately, they had the help of Lord Wu Shuang. Due to the inexhaustible means and the ballista equipment used to guard the city at the border, the monsters were not allowed to cross the border even half a step. Now, even if the border is looking at the dilapidated and desolate border, once you step into the city, you will immediately feel refreshed.
Someone has already taken over the order of the royal court to cover up the sword marks left by Wu Shuang and the thousands of ravines left by the Poison Master's magical power, but this young man is still walking around. Not long ago, the two five realms faced the demon tide. I walked around the land, often leaning down to take a closer look, twirling my fingers to identify the floating soil and snowflakes, as if I had gained something for a while. After all, there are countless five realms in the world. Over the years, only one Shantaorong has continued his cultivation path to the five realms. Such a hard-won time should not be missed. The number of cultivators who knew about this matter was not in the minority. Many cultivators who came here because of their fame were playing into the royal court’s hands. Whether they were promising profits or offering benefits of doing things for the royal court, they all made the king. The court attracted many practitioners to stay in Dayuan.
The young man stopped and spent a long time, and finally arrived outside Guzhou. He probably felt that he had seen the winter scenery in the north, so he rented a car tent and rested all day. In less than two days, he arrived Arrive outside Guzhou.
The driver is a very wealthy old man. Although his clothes are old, he is quite clean. He is almost semi-experienced in this business. He knows the rules and drives safely. This young man is clearly a wealthy customer. , of course I chose the old man who had the highest bargaining price, probably Gu Gu.
It was two or three days' journey to the state, so we sat in the car tent to rest for the time being. When it was cold, we could put down the heavy curtains. When it was hot, we could lift the curtains, and there would be vast plains of snow outside, which was very relaxing and elegant.
"Where did the young master come from? There is a war and chaos at the moment. Dayuan is not a good place to go. It is better to go to Zihao or Xia Song to have a look. It is not as cold as the Great Yuan to the bone, but it is also peaceful and tight. God knows who the Great Yuan is. The stalemate is going to last for several years. The little money ordinary people have on hand is really going to go out at night and day out, and they can't save even a little bit." The old man drove really smoothly, and he still had the leisure to chat with the young people in the car tent, but no matter what, it sounded like , are all quite critical.
"Coming from the Eastern Islands, I have been to Xiasong Zihao in the early years, but I rarely have the opportunity to come to Dayuan. The winter scenery is very good, but it is cooler than the Eastern Islands."
"The Eastern Islands are indeed a good place. The monster tide was raging a while ago, and few monsters went to the Eastern Islands. After all, they are separated by the East China Sea, and most of them would drown just by swimming. I heard that there has not been anything in that area for many years. War, peace, worry-free and self-sufficiency are a good place that I never dreamed of, so why bother coming to Dayuan to suffer in fear."
The young man in the car tent calmed down a little and chuckled softly, "People say that if you always live in a scenic spot with good water and rivers, you will always get tired of seeing it after living there for many years, and you will always feel that the people who come here are attracted by it. , very short-sighted, it is the normal state of the world to like the new and dislike the old. If you really stick to one place, it will easily kill people's hearts. The old man only heard that the flowers and plants on the Eastern Islands are luxuriant, there are many shrines, and there are many mansions, but But I have forgotten one thing. Since we are in a remote place, one day the fields will be exhausted and the remaining wealth will gradually become empty. It is not as vast and rich as Zhongzhou, not to mention the earth dragon turning over from time to time."
The Guzhou Royal Court is located, and the war has not yet been resolved. There should be soldiers checking, and they need a written ultimatum before they are allowed to go. However, the young man did not have any written ultimatum, so he was stopped by the soldiers and was about to be sent to defend the city. When the general was questioning him carefully, he received a letter and turned it on and off.
The person who commanded the troops at the border of Luzhou was in a high and powerful position and could not be stopped.
One step into Gucheng, there were already two people waiting at the gate tower of Guzhou.
When the young man with the sword had not climbed to the city tower, these two people had already stepped forward to greet him, very humble. The old man driving the car had lived for many years, so he could naturally tell that these two people were not ordinary people, and the young man who was taciturn on the road was naturally not a young man from an ordinary wealthy family, so he treated them respectfully. I respectfully took the money, bowed to the young master, and went to find the boundary to park my carriage and horses.
The reason why these two extraordinary people can be seen is that apart from the steady steps of the two, it can be seen from the robes that both of them are lined with soft armor. There have been few generals wearing soft armor in the Great Yuan Dynasty. Except for generals who hold the great responsibility of commanding the army, others are not allowed to wear soft armor at will, not to mention that such items are of high value, so they are of high value. And this young man came to Dayuangu Prefecture during a time of war and chaos. If you think about his courage and magnanimity, he is not that kind of young man from a wealthy family. The old coachman had seen some people in high positions, but there was really no one who could compare with these three.
"Qingmian, Rakshasa, the two ghosts in the Eastern Islands, now wearing armor and hanging luan, are really more pompous than before. How can they leave the Luzhou Barrier and not try their best to guard it now? How can they have any leisure? Come to greet me?" Kang Zonghe has always shown a lot of respect. Even when he faced the two chess pieces that had been arranged for a long time in front of him, he still showed some respect. He pulled out the folding fan from his waist and shook it again and again. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "By the way, I know that Great Yuan Shao Hehan is very scheming. If you two leave the barrier without permission to welcome me, do you really mean that you won’t arouse suspicion from others?"
"I was ordered to return to the royal court two days ago to listen to the instructions. I have done my best to cover people's ears and eyes. Moreover, there has been no fighting in the Luzhou Barrier for a long time. Master, please relax. The two of us should do our best. , Seize a step into the Great Yuan Dynasty." The green-faced ghost changed his past bossy attitude at the border, and now he is groveling, not even daring to raise his head.
Anyone who has met the future master of Tianqing Pavilion knows how cruel Kang Zonghe is, although he has been anonymous for many years, but has a very cruel and surly temperament. Before, he was chatting and laughing with others, but later he was drawing a sword. Xiang Xiang, what's more, he is holding a long sword in his hand, which is an important weapon in Tianqing Pavilion that has survived for countless years. Moreover, his cultivation level is very high, and there is an old pavilion master behind him. Just by using the sword, there are countless people behind him. People help, even if they are killed on the spot, ordinary people are also
There is no ability to avoid disaster.
"I have heard that the scholar on the other side of the Luzhou Barrier does have some abilities. Although the Zhengzhang Royal Court has improved now and can compete with the Xu Meng Mansion, he can really take back the entire palace. Yuan?" Kang Zonghe waved his hand to the two of them to stand up and talk, while he leaned against the city wall, raised his head and squinted towards the east.
But in fact, Kang Zonghe never cared about this matter at all.
It was just a sudden idea to make these two ghosts who were willing to be lackeys to invade the Great Yuan Dynasty, control the troops and horses, and jointly lead the troops. It would be best if they could get some benefits from the victory of the main court. But even if we take a step back, if the Great Yuan War continues for a few more years, it seems that it will do more good than harm to itself.
Kang Zonghe had never been fond of the art of chess, but during the chess season, he was very fond of the exchange of pieces. The two green-faced Rakshasa ghosts could benefit from either too little or too much, whether they succeeded or failed.
"It's not easy for that old man. After I went out, I realized that it's not easy for everyone in the world. Now that he's getting older, it's best not to let him go out and run around. As for the old man, it's better to talk less and work less."
