The hull of the Caiyun Xinghe Tower is extremely huge. It drifts with the current in the Nanhuai River, drifting like it is falling from the ecstasy of the fairy world.
Various melodious sounds were emitted from the boat, some were singing, some were reciting poems, some were playing, some were dancing. From time to time, excellent works were released, and from time to time, famous works were produced.
Talents bloomed here, and knights drank and sang here, soothing the grievances in the world.
Caiyun Xinghe Tower will dock at dusk and be moored at some designated piers. Guests will board the ship one after another. When the lights begin to light up and darkness falls, the cables will be loosened, ushering in a night of extravagance and extravagance.
In the morning, the water mist filled the air, and Caiyun Xinghe Tower docked again. After a night of enjoyment, the guests disembarked and dispersed in carriages and sedan chairs. They each returned to their prominent positions in Longyin City, their luxurious mansions, or their temporary residences. Inns and so on.
The girls on the boat used their years to leave behind the weight of the guests: they were all white things.
Money is just money. Some people get it without any effort, as if it naturally exists in their pockets, while some people will sell everything they have for just a little bit.
Using youth and a beautiful body seems to be a relatively acceptable cost.
"The first thing a new official needs to do when he takes office is to do something to show his presence when he succeeds to the throne. This is our opportunity... If in the hands of the old prince who is just a corpse, the Caiyun Xinghe Tower is registered as It’s really not an easy task for Jianghu Sect, and I don’t know how long it will take.”
Caiyun Xinghe Tower has submitted documents to Jiuzhou Mansion many times, but there has been no news. Liang Yundan certainly has no good impression of the old prince.
Caiyun Xinghe Tower is the escape route that Liang Yundan pursues. Only by registering in Jiuzhou Mansion as an official Jianghu sect recognized by the imperial court can it be truly useful in the future.
The official Jianghu sect is no longer a nameless and unidentified trash fish...the trash fish can easily be swallowed up by big fish in the rivers and lakes, and disappear without a trace in people's stomachs.
At the same time, formal Jianghu sects, as long as they have sufficient financial resources, can bid for their own medicinal fields at the medicinal field auction controlled by Jiuzhou Prefecture.
The size and quality of the medicinal field area and quality determine the development prospects of the sect.
All the major sects in the world have their own medicine fields, and no major sect with a large number of people relies solely on purchasing medicines to maintain the sect's needs.
Liang Yundan has been secretly doing his best to protect Caiyun Xinghe Tower so that it can run better and better, just to save money for the future. The medicinal fields controlled by Jiuzhou Prefecture are all in the Kunlun Mountains, which are full of spiritual energy and rich products. One year of medicinal materials grown there is worth ten years of medicinal materials picked in other mountains and forests.
Such a medicine field is naturally valuable, but if you want to develop your own sect, you have to buy a medicine field without losing your fortune.
"I will prepare gifts... As soon as the prince succeeds to the throne, all the sects in the world will send gifts. It is very unlikely that anything we give will catch his eyes, right?"
Lan Xinghe is responsible for the day-to-day management of Caiyun Xinghe Tower, and she is naturally good at dancing. If it were anyone else, she would have thought carefully about it, but giving gifts to Jiuzhou Fujun really gave her a headache for a while.
"The gifts to congratulate the succession don't need to be too outstanding... After all, we are still just a painting boat. We do not really belong to the rivers and lakes, let alone the jurisdiction of Jiuzhou Prefecture. As for the prefect, he will not care about the gifts given by others. How precious it is, he only cares about which sects gave it away and which ones didn't." Liang Yundan saw Lan Xinghe showing a headache, and stretched out a finger to gently press her temple.
The gentle pressure of Liang Yundan's soft fingers, extremely skillful and flexible fingertips, made Lan Xinghe feel comfortable and slightly shrink his eyes. The candlelight in his eyes that seemed to be open and closed became blurred, and his lazily lying posture made her Her figure is as slender as Liang Yundan's.
The toes protruded from under the skirt, the shoes fell off, the delicate little feet stretched and nestled, and the two calves were rubbed across each other. Lan Xinghe moaned: "I heard that Mr. Fu is very young... ah... I'm going to arrange a day, All the girls in the Caiyun Xinghe Building only entertained him, and the Shuiyun Room on the third floor was used as his exclusive guest room here."
"What if he falls in love with you?" Liang Yundan stopped performing the operation of previewing the galaxy. He just smiled and slid his fingers along the solar system to Lan Xinghe's soft chin, and raised it slightly.
Lan Xinghe already had his head held high, but at this moment, he even raised his chin and leaned his cheek slantingly in Liang Yundan's arms. Liang Yundan's gentle face was clearly reflected in the dark eyes like the background of the galaxy.
She didn't care much about what Liang Yundan said, she just said calmly: "I am willing to sacrifice my life for the landlord. I am a humble body. If it can be put to some use, what's the harm?"
Liang Yundan just let his fingers leave Lan Xinghe's chin and traced them along her neck, causing some muscles under Lan Xinghe's fair and tender skin to tremble slightly.
"We are not the only ones who want to pay attention to him. The Jianghu people in Longyin City are all dormant, and they will only emerge after he takes over... As the crown prince of Langya, what is his reputation?" Liang Yundan then asked. road.
Lan Xinghe stretched out two fingers, took out a picture scroll from his sleeve and opened it.
He has a square and square face, energetic and thick eyebrows, slightly raised eyes that are not angry and self-confident, a high nose bridge, and thick black lips.
"The face looks slightly familiar. Basically, if there are portraits of decent-looking young heroes in the world, they are all very similar." Liang Yunchan glanced at him and couldn't help but frowned.
"It is said that the Crown Prince himself has a handsome appearance, but he does not appear often. The portraits circulating in Longyin City are based on the painter's description of his appearance based on people who have seen him. It is said that they are 60-70% similar."
Lan Xinghe thought of Liang Yundan's wanted poster portrait at the city gate, and couldn't help but laugh: "It looks much better than your portrait, right?"
Liang Yundan shook his head slightly. The portrait at the city gate was probably based on her appearance when she was pretending to be a village woman, so it was quite different.
It's a bit annoying to see such an ugly portrait... Liang Yundan thought of List One, had he seen this portrait of her when he entered the city?
Smiling, Liang Yundan picked up the wine bottle again, but found that the wine had been poured out by her.
What is certain is that now that she is walking struttingly on the streets of Longyin City, no one would associate her with Liang Yundan and the criminal thief Liang Shisanniang. They only think that she is as quiet as a flower shining on the water, and her actions are like the wind holding a willow. Just a delicate woman.
"This prince is a bit fierce and cruel... I heard a lot of comments about him in the building. It is said that on the first day he just returned to the house, just because the housekeeper didn't recognize him at the first time, he just tore people into pieces. Block, I wrote the words in my brain: Anyone who stands in my way will die."
Lan Xinghe couldn't help but frown. It was precisely because such a prince would succeed him as the king of the mansion that Lan Xinghe was ready to "sacrifice his life and die."
Liang Yuntan heard the words, opened his mouth slightly, and took a breath of cold air. There are many people who kill people, but there are even fewer people who use their brains to write.
"He heard that his bodyguard was imprisoned in Fusi West Prison, so he broke into Fusi West Prison and cut the body of the jailer who had abused his bodyguard into five horses. Everyone knows that the horses in Prince Langya's Mansion are from Longyin City The most majestic and powerful in the world..." Lan Xinghe shook his head. This matter was said here by someone from the Kyoto Prefecture, and the credibility is still very high.
Liang Yundan sneered slightly, if you really want to say that people's lives are taken lightly, it has to be these princes and nobles. Ordinary people have to pay with their lives if they accidentally kill people due to disputes. This prince killed people in the West Prison of the Fusi and had no problem at all.
"Rong Qingshu of the Rong family had people interrogate him, but in the end he was left alive and dead without a body. His Huancai Pavilion was burned down, and Cishu Xianfang was split in half with a sword. Some of them had mortgages and money. The shop that borrowed money was taken advantage of by the Langya Palace."
If this guy wasn't in charge of Jiuzhou Mansion, Lan Xinghe wouldn't want to deal with him anyway.
"Is the Rong family easy to bully?" Liang Yundan felt that this was a bit outrageous. The royal family of Langya Palace were highly respected, but the Rong family was also a relative of the royal family, with two generations of patriarchs, three princes, the queen mother and The queens are all named Rong.
"There is no conclusion on this matter... It's just that when people from the Rong family were drinking here, they talked about their suspicion that this matter was related to Prince Langya." Since ancient times, brothels and houses have been suitable places for intelligence gathering.
Most men are always prone to leak some things intentionally or unintentionally when they are drinking and playing matchmaker. Not everyone can be firm-minded and tight-lipped.
People have a mouth, and discussing, gossiping, leaking, spreading, and talking are instinctive, and keeping secrets is contrary to the requirements of human nature.
"It's not easy to split Cishu Immortal Square in half with one sword." Liang Yundan pictured a girl in white holding a sword in his mind, and said in astonishment: "Prince Langya is a disciple of Tiandaomen, right?"
"Yes, this is something that everyone in the world knows. The master of Prince Langya is the most amazing swordsman genius Jiang Hongshu after the founder of the Tiandao Sect. He has not been seen in the world for thousands of years." Lan Xinghe's eyes glowed with longing. .
If one of me and the poster can be a genius like Jiang Hongshu, how can big things be accomplished?
"Many years ago...it was Jiang Hongshu who cut through our Yumen City Gate with a sword, leaving the garrison defenseless, and retreating six hundred miles without a place with lush water and grass to recuperate." Liang Yundan looked calm, his eyes But it was filled with the figure of the girl in white.
Getting taller and taller, the sword she raised seemed to still be hanging over Liang Yundan's head.
That unstoppable sword energy not only broke through the Yumen City Gate, but also made everyone lose their morale. They only felt that their previous persistence, determination to restore the country, and perseverance expectations were all so ridiculous and fragile.
Since then, Liang Yundan has never heard his father mention the plan to advance eastward. The Central Plains homeland, the vast land, and the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers have really changed dynasties and no longer belong to the buried former dynasty.
"How is it possible? Jiang Hongshu must have been in her teens at that time. How did she do it?" Lan Xinghe didn't know this.
She only knew that Liang Yundan's father was a famous general of the previous dynasty. He was stationed at the border and had always been loyal. Facing the New Qin army, he defended Yumen City to the death, allowing the New Qin army to attack hard for more than ten years.
At that time, Xin Qin tried every means, used coercion and inducement, and even opened a tunnel, and also used all kinds of fantastic ideas.
The military techniques of the sages of the past dynasties, hundreds of counselors, and the painstaking efforts of the famous generals and counselors of the New Qin Dynasty were all unable to conquer Yumen City.
In addition to Liang Yundan's father being an expert at leading troops and defending the city, the main reason is that Yumen City has an extremely advantageous geographical location, with fertile and lush land in the rear, and a large population in the city, so there are always soldiers to supply losses.
Outside the first pass, the place where Xin Qin was stationed was a bitter cold land, barren desert, and many places were alkaline land without any grass. Even if there was a steady stream of support from the rear, they were often attacked and plundered by barbarians from the north, and sand thieves came and went. If Rufeng encounters a small army, he will fight directly. If he encounters a large army, he will chase behind him, waiting for an opportunity to burn the food and grass before fleeing.
Even though the Xin Qin army had the advantage in every aspect, the Yumen City was always stuck there and could not be dislodged.
"Yeah, I can't imagine how she did it." Liang Yundan recalled.
In fact, everyone knows that Yumen City cannot be defended in the end. Three years, five years, ten years, it just depends on how long it can be defended at the latest, and the time gained before that can be used to plan the back-up plan. To what extent are you prepared?
But no one expected that Jiang Hongshu would pass by there one day.
She was not a helper invited by the Xin Qin army, she was just passing by. She had no mission, nor did she feel that Yumen City was not worth defending, nor did she pity the Xin Qin army for its numerous casualties, nor did she think about the situation in Yumen City. Should people suffer the fate of such a long-lasting sacrifice?
She saw both sides fighting.
She wants to go through the middle.
So she swung her sword.
The city gate of Yumen City Pass, which could not be broken down by fire or water, was directly broken into two halves.
Smoke and dust were everywhere.
Liang Yundan still can't forget the look in his father's eyes. It's obvious that there are masters in the army. It's obvious that he also sent his daughter to learn martial arts. Martial arts warriors are of little use among thousands of armies. So why is this woman who came from nowhere, able to do it with just one sword? Bringing such a devastating disaster?
In fact, until now, Liang Yundan still can't figure out how Jiang Hongshu did it... At that age, Jiang Hongshu had just become a seventh-level master?
Or has it reached the peak of the eighth level?
She couldn't have entered the ninth rank when she was just a teenager, right?
However, in recent years, there has been no news that Jiang Hongshu has entered the realm of a master, which has made many people in the world heave a sigh of relief: Jiang Hongshu is just a genius after all, not a monster.
"Now it seems that the sword in Cishu Immortal Square was really struck by Prince Langya. What kind of master is like what kind of disciple." Liang Yunchang let out a long breath.
The scene of Gao Yunkuo that day at Yumen City Pass once again appeared in front of Liang Yundan's eyes. Back then, his father faced Jiang Hongshu, which destroyed his many years of foundation. Now that he faces Jiang Hongshu's apprentice, can he succeed?
