Under the fire parasol tree, there is a lot of fire.
When Luochuan woke up from trance again and opened his eyes, it was already bright.
That night, he still did not shake the golden chain at all, but after a conversation with the young female Taoist, this bead curtain no longer made him uneasy as it did in the past few days. As for why the real head teacher Spending the essence to grow bead curtains on him is another matter.
Today is a holiday, and all officials are on vacation.
But in fact, there was no intention of resting in the offices of various ministries on this day, and the prefect's palace was no exception. Although no large-scale court meeting was held, people who came out of Luochuan from the East Side Hall to have dinner with Siqi and others Since then, court officials have been asking to see him.
After finishing various matters while eating, Luo Chuan was about to leave the palace to see how injured Qin Wansong and others were. He was stopped by Zhao Wuji, and they left the palace together in the prefect's chariot and went to the Military Affairs Office to target Lutou with the first set. The city plan has been completely reviewed.
It was already noon when he left the military affairs office again. Luochuan sat in silence in the royal chariot. After a while, he stretched out his hand to lift the corner of the car curtain. People were kneeling on both sides of the road to salute. Suddenly, he felt something. There was an upright figure watching him at the corner of the street. He followed that feeling and looked over. He saw an old man with skin as white as a ghost put on the hood behind him, turned around and disappeared at the corner of the street. He was thinking There were a lot of things to do, so he lowered the car curtain and said to Si Qi, who was holding a book and a map on the other side, "You just went to Jiangjun Lane. Are the Lu brothers and sisters still used to living there?" ?”
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
"It's not bad. Lu Sifan may be a little unaccustomed to the change of place, but when I went there, he was already dressing up and said he wanted to take a good tour of Licheng. Lu Tieshan didn't see him at all. I heard what the housekeeper said. He put on his armor and went out early in the morning," Siqi frowned and stared at the map, while replying, "I must have gone to play with the general's disciples, how childish."
Luo Chuan laughed dumbly and didn't say much.
The eunuch's royal chariot team arrived in a mighty and mighty manner, and soon arrived at a large and wealthy house with a large entrance hall far away from the eunuch's palace. This was originally used by the Luo family to arrange clan ceremonies such as New Year's Day, etc. in Lijun. The clean house used by the elders of the branch of the clan is now used by Luochuan to house Qin Wansong and other Wangchuan sword cultivators.
Originally, the house was large enough for dozens of sword cultivators to live in it, but it seemed empty. But this time after returning from southern Xinjiang to the north, another twenty or thirty Wangchuan sword cultivators gathered in Licheng. They came from all over the place, from as far away as One of them was from the battlefield in Shanbei County, Changzhou, Northeast, all the way south, crossing most of the Central Continent to Licheng. There were twists and turns, especially the situation on the border of the North. Luo Chuan was very interested, so he thought of visiting during his holiday. While Qin Wansong and Niu Dexin were waiting for the injured, they stopped by to see them.
The gate of the house is very wide, so the royal chariot can enter directly.
When Luo Chuan opened the car door, he saw nearly a hundred Wangchuan Sword Cultivators gathered here, led by Qin Wansong and Niu Dexin, several great monks of the Sixth Realm. Seeing him appear, everyone saluted, "Have you met the eunuch?" grown ups!"
When Luo Chuan saw this, he didn't have time to get out of the car. He stood on the carriage and saluted the Taoist priests, "Luo Chuan has met all the Taoist priests."
Qin Wansong and others were not surprised when they got to know Luo Chuan as a person, but the new sword cultivators were greatly surprised and looked at each other in confusion.
Luo Chuan jumped off the carriage and walked up to Qin Wansong and Niu Dexin and said, "Look at your looks, you are about to catch up with the fake Taoist priests who tell fortunes in Zhongjing City. I came to see you, so why bother holding on?" Come out and cause such a scene."
Qin Wansong smiled and said nothing, but Niu Dexin couldn't hold back his words, "That's why Junior Brother Qin insisted, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get out of bed."
The group of Taoist priests who had long been familiar with Luo Chuan's battles laughed loudly when they heard this, and the atmosphere became lively.
Luochuan also joked a few words, and then met a group of new sword cultivators under the introduction of Qin Wansong. He was especially impressed by the sword cultivator who came from Shanbei County.
He was a burly man who could stretch out his loose Taoist robes with muscular lines. He was a full head taller than Luochuan. This kind of figure was rare even among the Lijun Qingqi, which were all elite soldiers. Likewise, He is a great monk in the Sixth Realm. He is completely different from Qin Wansong's cool breeze and Niu Dexin's pure and inactive temperament. This Taoist named Xiao Zhan is full of murderous aura. In Luo Chuan's perception, he is even more powerful than Wang Mingdu. It won’t be inferior by much, it’s amazing.
The sword cultivators greeted Luo Chuan and then dispersed. Only Qin Wansong, Chang Wuxi and a few new sword cultivators from various states were left behind by Luo Chuan. Luo Chuan and a few others walked towards the living room of the house. , while he couldn't help but ask Xiao Zhan, "I heard that the war situation in the north has now entered a stalemate. The Beiyi did not capture the same city, and Ji Chongxin failed to regain the lost ground in the northern part of Shanbei County. Senior Xiao came from Shanbei County Come, you should know the real situation there, what’s going on now?”
When Xiao Zhan heard this, he frowned and said bitterly, "It's not actually impossible to recover the lost land in the northern part of Shanbei County, it's just that Ji Chongxin doesn't want to!"
Luo Chuan was surprised and asked, "Don't want to?!"
Xiao Zhan nodded and said angrily, "At the beginning of the war in the North, Ji Zhongxin was the first to lead his troops to the rescue, which indeed slowed down the pace of the Beiyi's march south. At that time, people only thought he was righteous and followed him one after another. Reinforcements from all walks of life also followed his lead, but after retreating to the same city to establish a new line of defense and repelling the first wave of attacks by the big demon, Ji Chongxin could no longer hide his ambitions and took action against the Jiang family in the same city. At that time, people only regarded it as a normal dispute between princes. Although the methods were not very bright, they accepted the plan for the purpose of resisting the barbarians. However, after the Jiang family resigned, Ji Chongxin was still reluctant to go north, and people began to understand. , that Shanbei County was originally a barren border area with the smallest land and the least people in Changzhou. It was also called the rich in the south and the humble in the north. Now that the entire southern part of Shanbei County has been returned to Shannan County, Ji Chongxin is still willing to expend his own troops to fight the Beiyi. knock?"
"What a pity that at that time, many small towns in the northern part of Shanbei County were still holding on and were not attacked by the Bei Yi. If Ji Chongxin could attract the Bei Yi demon to the same city and then divide his troops to go north for reinforcements, many people in the small towns would have a chance to go south alive, but... ...." Xiao Zhan clenched his fists and panted like an ox. After taking a deep breath, he said coldly, "But Ji Zhongxin has always been stubborn. The big demon from Beiyi returned from the north when he saw that it was difficult to defeat the same city. There is no way to survive in the small town that is still holding on. I once took the risk with all my brothers to rescue a small town nearby. When we got there, there was no small town. There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, broken walls, and the sky was infested by wild beasts and crows. Deadly..."
"Will all the northern Yi people who cross the border... be massacred?" Luo Chuan asked with a slight frown.
Xiao Zhan nodded slowly, "The evils of the four barbarians are greatest in the north and south. If the people of our human race fall in the hands of the south barbarians, they will be worse than dead, but if they fall in the hands of the north barbarians, they will die." He turned to look at Luochuan, "But Lord Taishou, after my master passed away, I traveled all the way from Wuzhou in the northwest to Changzhou in the northeast, and then through Jingzhou to Hanzhou in the southwest. In addition to Jiangzhou in the southeast, which is said to be prosperous and safe, monsters and barbarians can be seen everywhere in Zhongzhou, including northern barbarians and southern barbarians. It is clear that his crimes should be punished, but the Western Yi and the Eastern Yi are in the dark, so what?"
