Like those in the south of the Yangtze River, where the shadows of butterflies are dim and the world of flowers and plants is so charming, there are none at the border between Sunjiang County and Kecheng.
There is not even the desolate and vast scene of Yumenguan's "an isolated city and Wanren Mountain".
Instead, there is the eternal long black soil, the tense and solemn atmosphere, and the desolate desolation that has been untouched for a long time. The Great Wall of the Han Dynasty and the dense fortresses of the Qin Dynasty that span between the two counties completely dispel the idea of the people of the two countries knowing each other. You can see There are only red and white Han flags and black and white Qin flags fluttering in the wind.
More than forty years ago, the great war between Qin and Han ended in the disastrous defeat of Qin. Emperor Shenwu of the Han Dynasty and the First Wolf of the Qin Dynasty allied themselves here on the banks of the Sege River in Muzhou today, dividing the Chu-Han boundary and announcing to the world that "there will never be any use of weapons." This This agreement is called the "Sige River Covenant" by the world.
Since then, the Qin and Han Dynasties have enjoyed more than forty years of peace. Although the two armies occasionally had frictions at the border and restricted each other politically and economically, overall they did not cross each other's bottom line and were relatively stable.
After forty years of spring and autumn, the covenant on the banks of the Sege River is still final. Although the relationship between the Han and the Qin has dropped to a freezing point, the diplomatic relations have not been severed, and envoys and caravans can still be exchanged. However, weapons, iron tools, salt and other controlled items , are not allowed to transit the border. The respective laws of the two countries strictly stipulate that anyone carrying such items out of the country will be punished by the three tribes.
Between the two counties, on the official road built by the two countries in tacit agreement, a pair of boys and girls were walking slowly from north to south. The boy had a cloth scarf on his head and a slender figure, while the girl was dressed in coarse linen and had an ordinary appearance.
When the boy and girl met Fu Wen and Jing Yue, when they left the Qin Kingdom, they immediately disguised themselves as an ordinary peasant couple and walked on the official road inconspicuously.
The two were walking and chatting, and Fu Wen looked at Jing Yuejian seriously, "Yue Jian, your name is so strange! Why does a girl have such a charming name?"
"Hey, during the Qin-Han War, before my father died on the battlefield, I was still an infant. After my father asked Pao Ze to send him a suicide note, I got a name."
Jing Yuejian, who had always spoken softly in front of Fu Wen, became surprisingly emotional when talking about this matter. Jing Yuejian said seriously, "My father said in his suicide note: The moon is hidden and the sun is shining. After surviving the most difficult days, we There will always be sunshine."
Everyone in the world has a nationality. As long as a person has a mother country, he will unconsciously develop a feeling of family and country and an unforgettable nostalgia. This kind of nostalgia is for the Qin people who have abandoned the fertile soil of their hometown and succumbed to the bitter cold of Beizhou. Even more unforgettable.
Fu Wen was so smart. He immediately understood the hidden meaning behind Jing Yuejian's father's words and nodded seriously, "Uncle is a sensible person."
"My father's ashes have not been buried yet. He said in his suicide note that if he wanted to be buried, he would be buried at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain. Otherwise, he would not be buried! Therefore, my father's ashes have not been buried yet."
When speaking, Jingyue was expressionless, exuding an indescribable coldness from the inside out. If I had to use a noun to describe it, it would be 'the hatred of the country and the family'.
Fu Wen was surprised by Jing Yuejian's persistence, "So, your daughter entered the Kuilong Mansion alone? Do you want to avenge the country and the family?"
Jing Yue Jian was extremely determined, "Yeah!"
Fu Wen's eyes suddenly showed a flash of heartache, and he immediately asked, "Yue Jian, do you like to practice martial arts?"
Jingyue smiled sweetly, with a bit of sadness in her smile, and stretched out her hand, "Look, ordinary women's hands are weak and boneless, but my hands are like rough stones and sand. Hey! If the world is peaceful, which one will Would a woman not love red clothes but love armed weapons?"
"A person's power is too weak. Even if he becomes a god, he cannot change the general trend of the world."
Looking at the upcoming checkpoint in the distance, Fu Wen gently grabbed Jing Yuejian's hands and said seriously to Jing Yuejian, "Yue Jian, help me ascend the throne! I will definitely fulfill the wishes of my uncle and you, and fulfill thousands of wishes." The wish of thousands of homeless Qin people is to let their souls return to their hometown."
Jingyue Jian was extremely determined, "Okay!"
Fu Wen stood facing south, with murderous intent in his eyes.
He fell into my hands towards the Central Plains and fought in the south, west and east.
...
Rather than saying that what Fu Wen and Jing Yuejian were about to reach was a checkpoint, it would be better to say that it was an isolated city outside the Great Wall, an extremely peculiar isolated city.
This isolated city looks dilapidated. The three-foot-long loess wall stretching three miles across, the creaking large iron gate, the moat that has long dried up without water, and the shabby and shabby garrison horses all make this isolated city look like the setting sun. Go west.
However, if you take a closer look, you will see pedestrians in different attires and with different agendas, as well as veterans with murderous intentions and armors full of knife marks, which clearly reveal the desolate and solemn atmosphere outside the wall.
The reason for the existence of this isolated city stems from the tacit understanding between Qin and Han. This city is quite far away from the Han Great Wall and Qin Fortress. Both countries have troops stationed there. Whenever Bozhou and Nanzhudao have something to discuss, they often make a decision. Here, the two sides sent envoys to each other, exchanged hostages, and signed a brief treaty. After that, the northeastern border between the two countries could live in peace for a while.
Therefore, this place is called "Hecheng" by some businessmen in the city, which means the city of peace.
There are only two gates in He city. The north gate is guarded by the Qin army, and the south gate is guarded by the Han army. After passing the Daqin pass in the north of the city, a smooth road leads directly to the south gate. After arriving at the south gate, the Han Dynasty soldiers will check it and everything is correct. An access order is issued to passers-by, and pedestrians can pass through the border and enter the Han Dynasty according to this order.
For such a city, both Liu Yan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Fu Yi, the leader of the Qin Dynasty, chose to turn a blind eye.
One city, two governance, can be regarded as an innovative move by the two countries out of desperation!
Seeing that Fu Wen and Jing Yue had just passed the checkpoint of Da Qin, their stomachs began to growl.
However, Fu Wen didn't bring anything with him except the shit he couldn't poop out in the morning!
Except for Fu Wen, Jing Yue didn’t take anything when she saw this girl!
Fu Wen pursed his lips and looked at Jing Yuejian, "Jian Yue, have you brought any money?"
"No!" Jing Yue answered truthfully, "Are you hungry?"
"Well!" Fu Wen rubbed his stomach, "Sure enough, wine can't satisfy you. Aren't you hungry?"
Jing Yuejian's stomach rumbled and he answered Fu Wen's question very truthfully, but Jing Yuejian still said softly, "'Hecheng' is full of murderous intent. We can't just stay here again. Your Highness, please hold on tighter." After we cross the Great Wall, I’ll roast a pheasant for you.”
Fu Wen looked frustrated, "Then you can't eat pheasant every day!"
Jing Yuejian pouted playfully, "Then, what do you think we should do?"
Fu Wen had a wicked smile on his face, "Yue Jian, you are a warrior in the city-breaking realm. How many people in this city do you think can beat you?"
Jing Yuejian thought about it seriously, "Well, five at most!"
"Then why are you still hesitating?" Fu Wen pointed at a wine shop called 'Peace' not far away, and said boldly, "Let's go, I, the prince, will take you to have a king's meal."
Jing Yuejian, who had always been reticent to talk or smile, actually let out a puff and chuckled, "Okay!"
The owner of the 'Peace' wine shop is a middle-aged woman.
Seeing Fu Wen's 'young couple' sitting by the window, they immediately walked over with a roll of bamboo slips, their waists swaying, and said in a coquettish voice, "Oh, you two little enemies, how come you are so exquisite and clear!" Linglong, Linglong and Linglong are such a perfect match, but others are envious of them!"
The owner of a wine shop has a clever mouth. Jing Yuejian blushed with embarrassment at this compliment, but Fu Wen became more interested and said shamelessly, "The landlady is gifted with a pair of wise eyes and can recognize real gold. We are a fortune teller in this village." Old man Li said that we are the only couple in the world! Haha!"
This time, it was the landlady's turn to be embarrassed. She didn't even think clearly about what to say next. She could only grin and said charmingly, "I have to meet two enemies today. The shop is flourishing. Come on. Come and see what you want to eat, the store will give you a half discount."
Fu Wen looked around and said with a smile, "Madam boss, I see your business is bleak. My husband and I should be your first customers, right?"
The landlady nodded grandly, "That's why I want to give the two enemies a 50% discount!"
Fu Wen bargained with great interest, "Since we are the first customers today, it seems stingy for the landlady to only give us a 50% discount. She has to give us a 30% discount anyway!"
The proprietress stretched her waist, pushed her breasts forward, and said angrily, "Little poor man, you want me to do a loss-making business? Humph! If you like it, eat it or not, or if you don't, get out."
When Jingyue saw that she was about to take the bamboo slip and choose the dishes, Fu Wen took her hand down. Fu Wen was still smiling, "Don't be angry, boss lady, just give us three meat and three vegetables, and a pot of tea. Just pay." According to the old gangster’s rules, convert it in half!”
The landlady immediately changed her face to a smiling face and replied, "Yes, it's yours"!
Fu Wen patted the table lightly and said with a smile, "If it's not done well or it's too slow, I won't pay you!"
The lady boss, who still had a charming charm, gave her a flirtatious look and said, "Look at you, I will definitely let the two guests eat and drink well. If it doesn't work, why don't you keep me company?"
Fu Wen laughed loudly, "Go, go, go! Go and cook!"
While waiting for the food, Fu Wen looked around the restaurant very carefully. Although he was smiling broadly, it was actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside. He knew very well that all the shops in Hecheng had some involvement in the gray trade. , which makes people have to guard against it.
I saw that the house was clean and simple, with a light layer of water sprinkled on the floor paved with blue bricks. A half-open peach tree was planted in the center of the shop. It was already dinner time, and there were only eight small tables. There were only two tables of guests in the restaurant. Apart from the table he came to first, there was another table of guests who came later.
It was the next guests at this table that aroused Fu Wen's great interest.
In a remote corner, I saw three young men in rich clothes, drinking freely. The one with his back often picked up the wine bowl and drank half of the wine, drank it into his mouth, and then dripped down his lips. For some, less than half of it actually reaches the mouth. This is true. Before a person is drunk, his clothes are soaked first.
The men sitting on the left and right of him didn't care when they saw it. They drank one bowl after another, but they drank honestly.
Fu Wen came closer to Jing Yuejian and squinted his eyes in a low voice, "Did Zou Fuling say that this old boy Sun Xiucheng always likes to drink secretly when he drinks? Look at that guy."
The first time Fu Wen possessed her, Jing Yue blushed, shrank her neck, put her hands between her legs, and replied delicately: "Yes, yes! Prime Minister, I mean, is that person Sun Xiucheng?"
Fu Wen gave a bad laugh, "The one who knows me is my lady!"
Jing Yuejian's face turned even redder.
Some people died, but not completely...
