Zihao Border Pass is said to be the land of Longxing. Rumors say that a former king of Zihao raised his army from here, and along the way, Zihao, who was still in its heyday in the Spring and Autumn Period and could compete with Daqi for supremacy, was killed. He was in his own hands every inch, and at that time, Daqi had not yet fallen apart, and there was still a grand occasion when the world came to court.
This generation of king was just the second son, but it only took ten years to build his fiefdom into the Land of Longxing on his own, and the eldest son who naturally ascended to the throne of Zihao was actually in this situation regardless of the situation. Anyone can tell who is weaker and stronger in the battle. He lost three cities today and five cities tomorrow. In six years, he actually lost the entire Zihao to his half-brother. , but the country was completely ruined, and finally he took a group of concubines into the tallest building in Zihao King's capital, and died of suicide. Therefore, every time countless people in later generations visit this deserted place, they can invariably think of the state of mind of that very wise and mighty king who looked at these bleak deserted micro-cities after he was granted the title of prince.
When a person encounters an adverse journey, it is most obvious that he has something in his mind. But in fact, no one can guess what other people are thinking at that time. I am afraid that everyone will have some desolate thoughts, but fewer and fewer people mention it. What is written in the annals of Zihao's history is the most colorful and shining story of rebellion. The heroic lord who created a new world was so depressed when he first arrived. On the contrary, as time went by, countless poems and essays were written only to praise him. His ambitions are high.
This incredible city is there, standing not far from the northeast of Zihao Border Pass. The long wind that comes from Dayuan or Beiyanze all year round never stops, and always flows towards this incredible city.
The scorching heat in summer has not diminished at all, and the bitter cold in winter makes it even more difficult for the people here to cope with it. Most of them have moved to other places. Even if there are families who still stay in this city, most of them have to suffer from such unfavorable weather. , and the matter of not having fertile land, he was so exhausted mentally and physically that he could no longer think of making progress. However, the lands under the jurisdiction of that heroic lord were all similar to this city. The previous king of Zihao probably also saw his ambition and decided to put such a final It was a land where the population was short of money and food, so the reason for granting the title to this heir was very clear, that is, to enable the eldest son of the royal capital to sit on the throne safely.
The city has the highest terrain, bordering Dayuan in the north, and a flat plain can be seen in the west. At that time, Beiyanze was far away from Zihao, so there was a flat land across the way that allowed large armies to pass, and it was named Beixiang Corridor. , with such a corridor alone, if the Qi Dynasty raises troops to advance eastward, if there is still some remaining strength, they must divide their troops and march northward and then march eastward quickly. If they come in formation, the entire Zihao will be attacked from the front and back, so this In addition to the vast territory, sparse people, money, food and manpower, a city in a desperate situation also has such a very possible trouble.
What's more, at that time, the Dayuan tribe was still having wars and wars, and the barbarian spirit was the strongest. Therefore, there were often stray cavalry attacks from the Dayuan border, and they were always coming to harass them, with heavy snow, bows, swords, and dead soldiers. There are so many, which of course makes Zihao's borders uneasy.
As the sun sets in the solitary smoke, eagles often hover around the towering city top.
Even the most brilliant historians of later generations, who know exactly how this heroic lord turned this place into a prosperous place for dragons, can still guess a little bit of the whole picture based on what they have already seen. However, if they come to this city, they must feel that No matter how he started writing, he couldn't guess how someone who was born here could reach such a high level and hold the court firmly in his hands. After all, it was too unbelievable.
But now, in this majestic city, the depressed scene of the past has long been gone. Instead, it has been reorganized by the Daichaotang and the saints, turning this city into the most prosperous place north of Zihao, with many people and even a lot of wealth. And no one knows whether they feel that this is a place where dragons thrive and need to be rectified, or whether they feel that this place is located between the two gates of the Northeast and is crucial, so they put more thought into it, which is not something ordinary people can do. Considerations of knowing.
"The store will bring you two jars of cooked meat and a jar of rich wine. It will be easy to get enough money to eat. By the way, I will take good care of the green-eyed colt outside the door. It will be of great benefit to you to take care of it with good fodder."
In Kaiyang City, the tourists in the camel caravan have not been too trapped by this bitter cold winter. It is rare to have a clear sky. Kaiyang City has been busy for the past day, with people coming and going. Until the sunset, the sky is full of people. There are still no signs of stopping.
Inside Gubeikou Road, there is a plaque with a gold hook and silver painting saying "Gu Yan Lou". It is the handiwork of everyone. Counting it down many times,
Although the owner has changed, business is always booming. Even if you have to have enough money in your waist before you dare to step in, there are still people in front of the building every day. , even the waiter felt that he had a good reputation, but he was very capable and discerning, and he never asked the diners who stepped into Guyan Tower if they had enough money in their pockets. Over time, many tourists know that the current owner of Guyan Tower is an eccentric person who is good at making friends. If he eats with money and doesn't bring enough money, he just needs to go to the end of Guyan Tower. The owner of the building was seen on the upper floor, and most of the time he was able to escape unscathed. Unlike ordinary restaurants, he didn't even hire thugs, but no one ever came to cause trouble.
The swordsman dressed in red walked into Guyan Tower, and his first words were these words. He ignored that the restaurant was overcrowded, and there was a strong man in front of him with a two-foot-wide sword on his back. Instead, he walked straight past the man, He walked to the empty seat in front of the waiter and sat down. He put the extremely thin and narrow sword around his waist on the table and didn't look sideways, as if he hadn't even seen the brawny man who looked very strong.
The latter was quite reasonable. He glanced at the swordsman sideways, and then patted the swordsman on the shoulder from behind, "Friend, everything is first come, first served. This Guyan Tower is very particular. No one has ever come to make trouble. Crouching Tiger in Kaiyang City." Hidden dragons, there are not many people who don't follow the rules. Do you want me to walk back and let you sit down first?" At this moment, these words saved the waiter from trouble, so he looked at the man very gratefully and said, Immediately, he approached the swordsman in red and smiled in a flattering manner.
"My guest, you see it is really unlucky. This guest came first. If you don't mind, please return this seat to this guest first. There is such a secluded and elegant room on the second floor. The singer You girl, you are telling the truth, your appearance and figure can make others see how slim you are. You would like to take off your eyes and sew them on the skirts of those girls. If you don’t mind, I will arrange them for you in just a moment. It just so happens that it is approaching sunset, and we can still enjoy the wonderful scenery on the balcony. What do you think, sir?" ap.
The waiter at Guyan Tower is certainly well-informed. Since this man came to the door on his own, he must be quite capable. Moreover, looking at the meaning, he is afraid that he is here to cause trouble, so of course he has to be polite. Discuss with the swordsman with good words.
The swordsman simply stood up, but he returned the favor twice, patting his shoulder lightly, smiling wildly, "Is it important to be tall? Don't take yourself seriously. .”
There were certainly other people in the world around who noticed the strange movement here, and they all turned their eyes, happy to see the excitement, and this rude man was obviously not an ordinary person. After being provoked twice by the swordsman in red, he raised his hand. He grabbed the broad sword behind him, but unfortunately he was only slapped twice by the swordsman. The sword could not be pulled out of the sheath strangely. Even the man's face turned purple from holding back the sword, but the broad sword in the scabbard did not move at all. , it is difficult to get out of the sheath no matter what. But the swordsman nodded and led the way, then followed the waiter to the second floor. The man just stood there, stiff, and after a while he started to tremble all over, with blood spurting from his mouth and nose, and then he fell to the ground suddenly, his breath Dying.
But the waiter still led the swordsman to the second floor, and soon served food and drinks. He also ordered the two girls, who were the best in Guyan Tower in terms of appearance, figure and singing, to be very cautious. After waiting, there were other waiters who dragged the reckless man elsewhere to rest and recuperate. It took less than half a cup of tea to restore Guyan Tower to its original appearance. The diners were enjoying themselves and there was an endless stream of people coming to the door. Absolutely.
The swordsman in red was leaning against the window lattice, and the strong wind from outside was pouring into the elegant house. The two women sang very skillfully, but they were so thinly dressed that they felt sluggish in an instant when they were blown by the cold wind. But the swordsman He clearly had no time to think about it, he just looked at the remaining sunlight outside the window.
Guyan Tower lives up to its name, and you can really get a glimpse of Guyan.
Due to the high terrain of Kaiyang City, you can indeed see the endless beacon tower at the Zihao border. There is always a solitary smoke rising straight up. Rumor has it that the furs of tigers and wolves are wrapped in pine oil and ignited. Even though they are hundreds of miles away, the smoke still rises. It is clearly distinguishable. Even with the gusts of wind in the winter moon, you can still see it rising straight into the sky. With the sunset, you can see the desolation and heroism. But now, the swordsman just sees this scene pouring into his eyes, but he still feels that he cannot see it. Really, so he left the two singing women and let them shiver in the winter wind, while he mentioned the extremely narrow mouth
The extremely long and thin sword, never unsheathed, climbed all the way to the highest point.
The masters on the 12th and 12th floors of Guyan Tower were all defeated by the same sword move. Even on the 12th floor, the swordsman pulled the sword out of the scabbard, and this sword split the guarding master in two. , no blood seeped out for a long time.
The owner of Guyan Tower sat on the highest floor. He always felt a little surprised when he heard that someone was coming, but he understood after seeing the swordsman's eyebrows and the long and narrow sword blade.
Tulou once made a list of ten young masters, but this swordsman lost his place in the top ten and fell into the eleventh place because of another swordsman who suddenly entered the list. Therefore, he did not have much fame.
