Chapter 396: The Four Great Swordsmen
It is said that the strange peaks of Zhongnan Mountain are shrouded in clouds and mist, as if they were born with a touch of fairy spirit. A group of swordsmen in green are walking on the narrow path. They are surrounded by dark green vegetation. From time to time, cliffs appear, deep ravines and flowing water, and the terrain gradually rises.
Chen Long and Gongsun Baoyue traveled together along the way. Baoyue met a pretty girl swordsman named Zhou Mi. It turned out that she had been lost in Chang'an since she was a child and was an orphan. Chen Long and Gongsun Baoyue both felt sympathy, but the girl said that she was luckier than others and was taken in by the current sword master. Baoyue said: "We, brother and sister, have been practicing martial arts at home since we were young. Our parents had limited martial arts skills, so they were sent here to continue practicing martial arts. Unexpectedly, we were given a mission as soon as we arrived."
Chen Long smiled and said: "We have never met the sword master in person. I heard that she is very powerful in martial arts. She must be quite old, right?"
Zhou Mi was slightly stunned, and then said after a while: "Who said that? The sword master is the youngest and most beautiful chivalrous woman I have ever seen. When she took me in, even though she was wearing a heavy veil, I knew how beautiful she was." After that, He frowned slightly, seeming to be slightly wary of the ignorance of the two siblings.
Bao Yue hugged Zhou Mi's arm and said, "Sister Mi, as the saying goes, it's not surprising if you don't know. It's true that we have been here not long ago and don't know much about the gang rules. But we don't know which sword side my sister is from?" Zhou Mi is young and simple, and he understands a little bit. He was confused and said: "I am from Dongqian Fenqu, Qu's master Qiu Jian, and I am directly subordinate to the sword master and the chief swordsman Zijing. The sword master is also practicing in Dongqian Fenqu, and it is rare to see him on weekdays." After that, Shaking his head slightly, he seemed to miss the beauty with green gauze who took him in.
It turns out that although the core of the Nanlin Sword Sect is very mysterious, it is a major sect in the world. There are many satellite sword shops on the periphery, recruiting disciples in the name of the Nanlin Sword Sect. There is naturally a mixture of good and bad here, but the most basic structure has not changed. Under the Sword Master, the four great swordsmen were stationed in four towns in the southeast, northwest, and north. Each town was divided into four canals around the core: the front, back, left, and right. The Sword Master was located at the first canal, the east and the front branch.
Chen Long nodded slightly. He had never heard of Qiu Jian, his master, and Zijing, his chief swordsman. Guang quickly looked it up in his mind, and at the same time he heard Gongsun Baoyue say: "No wonder we didn't meet my sister earlier, so we are so divided. We are new here, and the Jianzhuang we went to was very unkind and unkind to us. , he was sent outside to die as soon as he arrived. My sister and I like each other very well, and I would like to ask if you can help us introduce you to Dongqian Diqualong? We can get along well day and night. "
Chen Long secretly admired him after hearing this, thinking that Baoyue was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very thoughtful. In just a few words, he had already paved the way for the two of them to settle down in the new Jianqu. Zhou Mi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's an honor to be sent on a mission. Why did my sister say that?"
Chen Long hurriedly smiled and said, "We are always ostracized by others in the peripheral Jianzhuang, and we have all kinds of unhappiness, so let's not mention it. If Sister Zhou can help us to the first branch, under Zijing, we brothers and sisters will be very grateful."
At the same time, Guang's brain showed that the name Zijing did not exist during the Three Kingdoms period, and Qiu Jian could not be found. It seemed that both of them were missing from the annals of history. However, Chen Long still found a person named Zijing, who was Wei Xi, a famous minister of Cao Wei later.
The official history record is extremely simple. Wei Xi, named Zijing, was from Jiyin. He was charming and eloquent, and the whole Ye city was moved by him. Zhong Yao recommended him for this reason. In September of the 24th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao and Liu Bei had just concluded the Battle of Hanzhong. Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan, and the Seventh Yujin Army was wiped out. Cao Ren was besieged in Fancheng. Wei Xi, Changle Guardsman Chen Yi and others planned to attack Yecheng. Before the date of the incident came, Chen Yi was frightened and informed Cao Pi. Cao Pi had Wei Xi killed, and dozens of people were implicated. Fu Zi said: In the early days, during the reign of Taizu, Wei Xi had a great reputation, and everyone from the minister to the minister was devoted to him. Later, Mengda went to Liu Bei and returned to Emperor Wen. Many commentators said that he had great joy and perseverance. As soon as Ye saw the irony and daring, everyone said that he would rebel, and he died as he said.
Wei Xi's charm is astonishing. He rose quickly during the reign of Cao Cao and became an important minister of Cao Wei. This shows that he is talented, but I wonder if he is this Zijing?
After listening to Chen Long's explanation, Zhou Mi found it hard to refuse this good-looking man for some reason, so he said: "Brother Chen, if that's the case, then follow me to the first channel. I am a humble person, so I can only try my best." But for!"
Chen Long and Gongsun Baoyue were both overjoyed when they heard this and expressed their gratitude one after another. Baoyue continued to chat with Zhou Mi and learned a lot of gang secrets. It turns out that under the sword master Tianshan Heroine, the four great swordsmen are the first swordsman Zijing, the second swordsman Wenshu, the third swordsman Wenxi, and the fourth swordsman Lin Shu, each of whom is in charge of four major channels. However, the sword master usually lives in seclusion, just like a dragon that sees its head but never its tail.
Chen Long searched again in Guang's mind. Because Zijing was suspected to be the character of Wei Xi, the search was effortless. Sure enough, he found that Wen Shu was suspected to be Wang Chang, and Uncle Lin was suspected to be Zheng Miao. Only this Wenxi, no information can be found repeatedly, and I don’t know who it is.
Zheng Miao, courtesy name Uncle Lin. A native of Kaifeng, Xingyang. A minister from the late Cao Wei to the early Western Jin Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, the great-great-great-grandson of Zheng Zhong, the great agricultural minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the son of Zheng Tai, the governor of Yangzhou, and the nephew of Zheng Hun, the great craftsman of the Cao Wei general.
According to the official history, Zheng Miao was orphaned when he was young, and later fled to Jiangdong with his uncle Zheng Hun. He had the ability to recognize people at a young age. He successively served as Marquis of Linzi, Prefect of Jiyin, General, Zhonglang, and Prefect of Guangping. He put morality first in his administration and was loved by the people. Later he served as Shaofu and was granted the title of Marquis of Guangchang Ting. He moved to Guangluxun and then took charge of Zongzheng. After Cao Huan ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Ancheng Rural Marquis. Later, he became blind due to illness. He asked to abdicate, but was not allowed to do so. Instead, he paid homage to Dr. Guanglu. After the establishment of the fifth-class nobility system, he was named Mi Lingbo. After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, he was granted the title of Marquis of Miling. He was offered the title of Sikong again, but he resolutely refused and died at the age of eighty-five.
Wang Chang, courtesy name Wenshu, was born in Jinyang County, Taiyuan County. He was a minister and general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, and the son of Wang Ze, the prefect of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Wang Chang was well-known when he was young. Before Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi came to the throne, he was the prince of literature. After Cao Pi came to the throne, he successively served as the minister of Sanqi and the governor of Yanzhou. During this period, he wrote "On Governance", "Book of War" and other books to provide political reference for the court. After Emperor Ming Cao Rui came to the throne, he was promoted to General Yang Lie and granted the title of Marquis of Guan Nei.
When Cao Fang, King of Qi, was on the throne, Wang Chang was transferred to Xuzhou to serve, and later moved to Zhengnan General. After Sima Yi came to power, Wang Chang petitioned the imperial court to attack Wu and won a major victory in Jiangling. Due to his meritorious service, he was once again promoted to General Zhengnan, Yitong Sansi, and was promoted to Marquis of Jingling. In the second year of Zhengyuan (255), Wang Chang was promoted to General of Hussars for his contribution to helping pacify Guanqiu Jian in Huainan. The following year, during Zhuge Dan's rebellion, he was promoted to Sikong for his role in containing the Wu army. In the fourth year of Ganlu (259), Wang Chang died and was given the posthumous title Muhou.
As for Wen Xi, he couldn't find it, so Chen Long gave up the search. The three of them talked and laughed all the way. They were about to arrive at a fairy mountain that day. Eight or nine of the swordsmen in blue dispersed, leaving only the three of them. Zhou Mi pointed to a peak in front and said: "Sister! Brother! In front of us is the Dongqian Canal!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
