Ziyou drove towards the capital of the Yan Kingdom, Jicheng. The Yan Kingdom, as the penultimate Chinese power among the seven kingdoms, once had a glorious time. King Zhao of Yan set up a golden platform and bought horse bones with thousands of gold, which attracted countless wise men to Yan. Le Yi They jointly attacked Qi and Qin Kai to defeat Donghu and North Korea, bringing Yan's national power to its peak.
But after the death of King Yan Zhao, the State of Yan declined rapidly. However, the foundation of the original strong country was still there, and it could not be said to be weak. After the Battle of Changping, the State of Yan tried to take advantage of the situation, but was beaten by Zhao State, which caused him to lose his helmet. Abandoning Jia, it completely became a weak country.
The subsequent kings were completely ruined, causing the Yan Kingdom to become worse with each generation. The upper class continued to squeeze the people, the court was corrupt, Yan Chunjun blocked the sky with one hand, and the Yan King hid in the deep palace and lived a life of dreams and dreams.
There has been no war in the Yan Kingdom for many years, but the people still have no food or clothing. In addition, the heavy snowfall in the Yan Kingdom last winter caused the affected people to be displaced. Victims can be seen everywhere. Ziyou and the rangers borrowed them all. The money was used to buy food and some was distributed, but in the end it was just a drop in the bucket.
Ziyou was driving a carriage and suddenly heard the sound of a fight. Ziyou followed the sound and saw only a young man being besieged by a group of people again, and standing beside him was a young man holding a long qin.
The young man who was besieged was drinking while making moves. His moves were not very impressive, they were all very ordinary moves, but every inch and every inch was just right, and his skills were pretty good. As for the ranger who besieged the young man, he was completely using Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu. He was quickly beaten to the ground by the young man.
The young man drank down the wine in his hand and looked in Ziyou's direction.
"Your Majesty, you have been watching for so long, please show up?"
Ziyou appeared in front of the two of them with a carriage. After getting off the horse, he saluted and said
"Your Excellency, you have done a good job. I came here after hearing the sound, and there is no ill intention."
"It would be an honor for me, Jing Ke, if Mr. Ziyou, a Confucian who has the world in mind, can have ill intentions towards me." The young man laughed.
The young man holding Qin beside him couldn't help but look surprised when he heard Jing Ke say Ziyou's name, and looked at Ziyou in disbelief.
"Are you Mr. Ziyou from Xiaoshengxian Village?"
"It's me. I didn't expect you to recognize me?" Ziyou smiled bitterly. Hey, having a good reputation is troublesome. You can be recognized wherever you go.
"Of course, I was lucky enough to witness the debate between Mr. Ziyou and Mr. Gongsun Bai in Jixia, and I admired the righteousness in Mr. Ziyou's heart very much." Jing Ke said, "I am Jing Ke, a knight-errant. This is my friend, Gao Jianli. , is a well-known musician in Yan State."
Looking at the two people in front of him, Zi You was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Jing Ke and Gao Jianli, two key figures in the original work, in this wild place. He saw a trace of gloom on Gao Jianli's face and thought of the rumors he heard on the road. Kuang Xiu, all the musicians of Zhao State, was convicted of assisting Qin's rebel generals to escape from Qin's territory and became a prisoner. On the execution ground, two young men came to rob the execution ground.
In the end, Kuang Xiu played the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" with one of the young men, and finally committed suicide and died with a smile on his face. The two young men broke out of the siege and disappeared.
It looks like these two are them.
"I wonder where Mr. Ziyou is going? How about we go together?" Jing Ke enthusiastically invited. As a ranger, his favorite thing is to make friends.
"I want to go to Jicheng, the capital of Yan State." Ziyou said.
"Just in time, we are also going to Jicheng, how about we go together?" Jing Ke grabbed Ziyou's shoulder in a familiar manner and pulled the carriage away without waiting for Ziyou to say anything.
"Good." Ziyou didn't object.
Jing Ke was a carefree person with no scheming intentions. He only wanted to be a knight-errant who punished evil and promoted good. On the road, he boasted to Zi You about his recent efforts to punish evil and promote good. Zi You was still willing to make friends with someone like Jing Ke. of.
As for Gao Jianli, who had been following behind him silently, with a hint of pain and regret in his eyes all the time, Ziyou didn't want to have anything to do with him, because he would be implicated by such a fool, and even die without knowing how.
At night, the three of them sat around the campfire.
"Mr. Ziyou, I heard that the Seven Kingdoms visited the Little Sage Manor and asked you to come out, but you refused after you traveled to various countries. Now there are rumors in the world that you are here to visit various countries for the final selection. Is it true or false?" Jing Ke asked curiously road.
"No, I traveled around the world because I still lack something." Ziyou shook his head and said.
"What?" Jing Ke's eyes were full of curiosity, and Gao Jianli also cast a curious look.
Ziyou just smiled slightly and said nothing more. Seeing Ziyou's betrayal, Jing Ke could only worry and said
"You guys just like to tell the truth and tell half the story."
It's not that Ziyou doesn't want to say it, but he doesn't know what he's missing. He just has a feeling that the key step for him to become a master requires him to travel.
"What I lack, I don't understand myself. Why did you two go to Jicheng?" Ziyou asked, looking at Jing Ke and Gao Jianli.
Gao Jianli and Jing Ke were stunned. Just as Jing Ke was about to tell them about their robbery of the law field, they heard Gao Jianli speak first.
"He was entrusted by someone to escort me back to Jicheng. I am a violinist and was invited to Feixue Pavilion to be the violinist."
Jing Ke looked at Gao Jianli in surprise, but didn't say much. He was just careless and not a fool, but he felt there was no need to hide it from Ziyou. In his opinion, Ziyou could already become that kind of great sage.
In this period, reputation and appearance were the first factors to measure a person. Anyone like Ziyou would first react that he was a talented man with noble moral character and outstanding ability, so Jing Ke was willing to believe in Ziyou.
"Feixue Pavilion, is it rumored to be the Feixue Pavilion together with Wanhua Tower and known as Northern Snow and Southern Flowers?" Ziyou asked enthusiastically.
Jing Ke was about to say that a great sage like Zi You didn't know about a luxurious place like Feixue Pavilion, but unexpectedly, Zi You started to discuss Wanhua Tower and Feixue Pavilion with Jing Ke with great interest. This made Jing Ke have a good impression of Zi You. They were all of the same kind.
"I didn't expect Mr. Ziyou to know a lot about such a dusty place." Jing Ke laughed heartily.
"I have only heard about it a little bit. Feixue Pavilion has only heard of it. The song "Ling Bo Fei Swallow" is the most popular in the world, but few people can see it. When the time comes, all the flowers in Wanhua Tower will be in full bloom. I have seen it once. I'm so shocked." Ziyou said and gave a thumbs up.
"Oh, tell me." Jing Ke approached Ziyou and asked with a gossipy face. He had never seen these two. The first Feixue Pavilion was the famous Xiaojin Cave in the Yan Kingdom, but it was not his. The knights who travel around the world can afford it, and although Wanhua Tower is not as luxurious as Feixue Pavilion, it is not within the reach of ordinary people.
Ziyou and Jingke, one started to speak and the other started to listen. The two of them also expressed their opinions. Gao Jianli looked at the two people who were like disciples and distanced themselves a little.
Jing Ke and Zi You looked at each other with more regret than they had seen each other, as if they wished they could enter the Ten Thousand Flowers Tower side by side.
