To the south of Gyeonggi Province, one of the 21 counties of Jingzhao Prefecture, is the bank of Xieshui in Xi County. Jiang Dan and his team also looked at and looked at the Xiegu Pass (today's Xieyu Pass in Mei County) not far away. It is also where the north entrance to Baoxie Ancient Road is, and the southern end is at Baogukou in Nanzheng County.
The period stretches for more than 300 miles, and is mostly composed of high mountains and deep gorges with steep mountains and rugged rocks; only the Bao River and Xianshui flow through it; and on the mountains and stone walls on the banks of the river beach, the mountains and stone walls along the river bank have been carved over many years by successive dynasties. After that, there was left a main avenue and a plank road that were several feet long.
Therefore, the Baoxie Road first began as a mountain-crossing road specially built when the Qin State destroyed Shu. It has been followed to this day. There are as many as eighteen postal pavilions and former posts of the past dynasties; on average, there is one place every ten or twenty miles. In addition, there are three docks between Baohe River and Xieshui River.
However, on the raised platform at the mouth of the valley, the walled city and the closed city have been temporarily cleared. Only the 1st Battalion (800 members) of Taibai Town Fubing, which was stationed there and thought to be blocked, remained. They even built several decent-looking field fortifications on the spot at the throat opening.
Beside Jiang Tian, who was riding a horse and walking quickly, he was accompanied by a crimson-robed and black gauze futou. Even though his body was covered with sweat, he was still smiling with the Jingzhao Mansion officials, who were also constantly helping him. What is explained:
"Your Majesty, you don't know something. There are thousands of large and small associations in Chang'an City, and some of them are officially registered; there are other unregistered brotherhoods, fellow townsmen, etc., even more so."
"Among them, the sword, gun, and stick clubs that practice martial arts and teach Taoism and arts alone account for almost more than half. In the peaceful years, these associations and master-disciple families also need a way out."
"In the past years, you either joined the army to establish a business in a foreign vassal, or guarded the home and courtyard of a wealthy family; or you traveled around the world with your sword and became a ranger or hunter who offered bounties for your livelihood."
"But now, because of the beast disaster, they have another smooth road. And Jiang Supervisor's subordinates are also a new way of advancement in the eyes of these sword and gun performance clubs."
"So the current Lixingyuan is probably one of the most popular places among people of this generation. It's a pity that most people have no choice but to wander around and inquire..."
"As for the dangerous and unpredictable things that your noble officer said, can it be compared to learning martial arts, but being poor and unknown in the market?"
"What you said is not bad. Maybe this department can consider it." After Jiang Tian heard this, he finally nodded politely and said: "However, my subordinates have always been Ning Que's mother, and they have no idea about their specific character and ability. , all have corresponding requirements; at the same time, there are many rules and restrictions.”
"That's enough. As long as the noble officials can open the door for convenience, with the size of the capital and the vast number of scholars and people, there will always be some candidates who can meet the needs." After hearing this, the official couldn't help but said with great joy: "The official will turn around and Go and make some preparations, and please wait patiently for good news."
Just as he was speaking, the support team of 100 cavalry assembled by the Xijing Lixingyuan/Anxing Yushi Branch was already riding on the temporary paved road on the deep trench while the flags on the wall were rising and falling. Ban passed through this heavily guarded temporary stronghold and disappeared into the Cangsen Canyon.
And after seeing with his own eyes that the last bit of dust and human figures were completely gone, General Taibai, who was standing on the watchtower of the walled city, also released several carrier pigeons in twos and threes with an expressionless expression. Soon after, several more riders galloped out, heading towards Chang'an.
And on the Overlord Bridge to the east of Chang'an, amidst the billowing dust and smoke, a group of men and horses wearing angry horses, fresh clothes, and brocade fur and mink hats galloped up. The leader emerged from the crowd early, and under the glances of many passers-by and travelers, he used the unique drake-like voice of a typical teenage voice changer and laughed loudly: "Ha...ha...ha... Go to the capital, go to the capital, I'm back again."
Immediately, it turned into many retinues and personal followers chasing after them in the rolling dust from behind, shouting one after another: "Young lord, wait a minute." "Young lord, be careful what you say. !” “Young lord, this is the most urgent situation at the emperor’s feet.”
However, the young lord of the feudal lord did not pay any attention to their hard work; instead, he rode his horse straight into Guangxia Gate without hesitation and left them behind with only a few of his followers. Along the street against the wall, he ran wildly towards the south of the city.
Finally, he was able to fly and land in Qujiangfang in the southeast corner of the city, in front of the main entrance of Qingqi Garden. He couldn't wait to get past Lao Gu who came out to greet him after hearing the sound, and ran straight in, shouting at the same time: "Sir, sir, are you at home? I'm back again."
However, the next moment, he seemed to have seen a ghost, looking at his slim and plump figure dressed in a homely dress, playing with dewy flowers on the terrace, and finally a thousand words turned into a dumbfounded sentence: " Ah...ah...sister, why are you here?"
"Ajiu? You came back, when did it happen?" Sister A on the terrace was surprised and stunned for a few breaths, and then she saw clearly that it was a duck; but she quickly turned into a look of frost on her face with beautiful eyes: "What are you talking about, you bastard? Why can't I be here anymore!"
Of course, after skipping this slightly embarrassing and subtle episode; the siblings reunited again after a year and a half, but they felt as if a long time had passed and a lot of things had happened; Therefore, it soon became a rant dominated by Kodak:
"Sister, you don't know how annoying and troublesome those ministers and officials in my uncle's family are;"
"You don't know where they got all the rules and names; they dug them out of the old papers just to deal with me."
"Every day I break some taboos all the time, and everyone talks about admonitions and suggestions. It's really hard to live in peace and quiet!"
"And all of them are like that. They won't hit you back, won't retaliate when you scold them, and will just talk about you endlessly. It makes me want to seize the opportunity to have an attack, but there is no way to use my strength."
"It's just that my uncle's body is getting worse and worse. He needs help from others even to receive guests, but he is still very close to me. I have no choice but to endure the humiliation and bear the burden for him."
"But, sister, do you know? My uncle actually has a whim and wants to bring the tall and powerful cousin Aqin to me. Wouldn't this cost my life?"
"This female baboon from my uncle's family has given birth to a good skin, but inside she is still the chubby little one who eats more, takes more, and likes to be mean-spirited. Anyone who marries her will surely lose his life."
"...Fortunately, these days, I have not endured all these hardships in vain. Now I have visited my uncle's family business one by one, and I have also taken over most of the general affairs in the feudal residence. This is how I came back..."
"Okay, okay. I understand, Ajiu is now a responsible young feudal lord." Sister A smiled and listened to his half-complaining, half-showing off, and then she spoke up. Said: "However, after all, you have inherited the ancestral lineage of the Xue family, so don't let your uncle and uncle talk to each other all day long. In the eyes of caring people, it is also because you are restless in the family and do not respect your elders. I'm afraid you will have more children." These are right and wrong. Therefore, from now on, you can just show off in front of me. At other times, no matter who you are in front of or behind, you should change your name to "Master, Father, Father, Your Majesty."
"Okay... okay... I know it well." Kodakya waved his hands in annoyance, and then couldn't help but hesitated and said: "Sister, are you really with your husband? No. Are you going to play with those girls in the club again?"
However, the next moment he couldn't help but scream loudly; but his ears were grabbed by Sister A's quick eyes and hands, and he said with an angry face: "Ajiu, you bastard, I thought you had a lot of potential, but you have returned to your old ways? Someone else arranged it It’s just me, why are you following Feng Xiang and making noise?”
"Sister...Sister...please be merciful." Kodak couldn't help but apologized, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not expecting you to choose a suitable match among the ladies who have been with me in the past. After all, my uncle still expects me to be happy? "
"I see, Ajiu has grown up after all and is quite filial." Sister A couldn't help but blush slightly after hearing this: "But I don't know what conditions and situation Ajiu wants. Although I was lucky enough to follow my husband, I still haven't broken up. Past dealings; maybe we can make some suggestions?"
"What about this?" Ke Ke Ya rolled his eyes several times and said in a loud voice: "As long as the family is decent, good-looking and gentle, the most important thing is that it can save people worry and trouble; I don't ask for any extravagant work. To have many virtuous wives is to raise eyebrows and respect each other as guests."
"That's it?" However, Sister A was a little surprised when she heard this and asked: "What kind of beauty, what kind of talents and virtues, what kind of extraordinary women are rare in the world, all of them?"
"Sister, don't make fun of me." Kodakya couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "That's because I was ignorant in my early years, but after seeing the ruins of my uncle's house, I didn't dare to expect too much." too much."
You should know that in his early years, his biological uncle, in order to give birth to a son, almost took in concubines from time to time; but as a result, the children were not born and their bodies were ruined. Now, in order to please and curry favor, he, a young lord from a powerful family background, was trying his best and using any means.
Not only did they bring their sisters-in-law and sisters with them, hanging out in front of him for some reason; they even went to battle together, mother and daughter, with subtle hints of throwing themselves into his arms. Although Kodak Duck has a bad reputation and is known for being willful and domineering, he is also a very picky person.
Therefore, this time I returned to Beijing under the pretext of choosing another marriage to get away. Thinking of this, he suddenly spoke out of nowhere: "Actually, sister, you don't have to worry about what your husband will think. Is it possible that you will be happy to see the closeness between you and those girls?"
"Ajiu, what do you mean by this?" However, when Sister A heard this, her face froze slightly and she asked calmly:
