I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 115: I have traveled thousands of miles to see the mountains and rivers, and I also hold the sword to guard the Spring and Autumn Period

The clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and moonlight came down again.

Bathed in moonlight, Chen Zhian sat in the pavilion and studied the Dou Ji long sword for a long time. Then he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged to recover his true energy.

He had consumed a lot today, not only having experienced a disaster, but also having fought five rounds with others in the Pu Yu grassland under the Wangxing Palace. He was quite exhausted and needed to recover carefully for a while.

He sat like this in the moonlight until daybreak, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Once one enters the Jade God realm, the divine energy can already flow outwards and extend continuously, like a special sense.

Chen Zhian tried to let go of his spiritual energy and passed through the wall, and saw Chu Muye knocking on the door.

Chen Zhian snorted coldly and ignored it.

Not long after, there was a muffled sound. Chen Zhian opened his eyes and saw that Chu Muye had climbed over the wall and was looking at him with a smile on his face.

Chen Zhian thought about it, then stood up and said, "Lord Chu is very busy with government affairs. How can you have time to come to my little courtyard today?"

Chu Muye naturally heard the thorn in Chen Zhian's words. He smiled flatteringly, looked around and said, "This courtyard is not bad. The courtyards on Fusang Street are quite expensive. Even with my salary, I am afraid I will have to work hard for a few years to afford this courtyard."

Chen Zhian chuckled, but ignored Chu Muye and sat back down.

Chu Muye slowly admired the scenery in the courtyard and came to the octagonal pavilion. He took out a pot of wine and said, "It's not my turn today, so I bought two catties of wine. You and me, uncle and nephew, can have a few drinks."

"Master Chu, you are joking." Chen Zhian said, "Master is the current Minister of the Ministry of War, a third-rank official. I am just a painter in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How dare I associate with Master?"

Chu Muye heard Chen Zhian's sarcastic tone, but he was not angry at all. He just smiled and said, "Don't worry, the city guards, generals, and even the Supervisory Office who allowed Qi Tianchong to bury the spiritual treasure have all been imprisoned.

Moreover, after today, the Western Penglai will be disbanded, and at least half of the so-called twenty-four generals will die, just to vent your anger."

Chen Zhian sneered: "I still remember that Xi Penglai and Lord Chu also have a deep hatred. The reason why I got involved with Xi Penglai was because of Lord Chu. How come Xi Penglai is disbanded now, and it seems to be a way for me to vent my anger?"

Chu Muye shook his head and sighed, "The situation is difficult now. If you want the Lu Wujian, you still need to work harder. The position of the seal holder is not something that can be easily obtained by Prime Minister Song.

Whether it's Song Xiang's allies or those fence-sitters, they all want to take a good look at your abilities.

so……"

Chu Muye paused for a moment, then explained in detail: "When Xi Penglai Qi Tianchong attacked, someone had already arrived with a weapon... But when Lord Tao saw that you could still hold on, he held back and did not attack.

But I never thought that you could actually escape from Qi Tianchong, which made Prime Minister Song and I very happy."

Chen Zhian obviously didn't believe Chu Muye's words and was about to say something sarcastic.

Chu Muye continued, "Lord Tao came to protect you personally and stood at the entrance of Fusang Street. He also saw the iron horsemen from Xi Penglai trying to kill the gatekeeper, who was seriously injured... and was rescued by Lord Tao. After a few days when he recovers, you can naturally ask him about the details."

Chen Zhian tilted his head and thought about it, but remained silent.

Chu Muye's eyes rolled and he said with a smile, "Do you know the origin of this Western Penglai?"

"Everyone in the world thinks that Western Penglai is a bandit group that robs people, kills people and steals their property. They even dare to rob the imperial court of its annual tribute. They are abusive and do all kinds of evil."

"But ever since Xi Penglai sent someone to kill me in Sunan Prefecture, I knew that Xi Penglai was just the black hand of some aristocratic families, specializing in doing things that aristocratic families and clans are inconvenient to do."

"There are many such places in Dayu. Even many sects and schools have aristocratic families. This is why Prime Minister Song insisted on establishing the positions of big and small seal holders."

His tone gradually became serious, and he said: "They are betting. Daqian is ruling the world with the Xuanmen Sect. These families think that as long as they put on a layer of Xuanmen Sect's skin before Daqian arrives, they can escape Daqian's slaughter, and transform themselves into a sect under Daqian's rule and continue to abuse their power.

There are many such families... They sucked the blood and flesh of Dayu to their heart's content, making themselves fat and strong, but they still wanted to jump over the wall and give Dayu a hard push. This is not acceptable."

"The battle between the royal family and the noble families is a foregone conclusion. The saint wants to take power in Xuan Tianjing, but he also knows that Dayu is still facing external troubles. He cannot rush. He can only pull out these fangs first, otherwise the venom will penetrate into the bones, and then no one will be able to save Dayu's national destiny."

Chen Zhian seemed to have no interest in helping the royal family and the aristocratic families in the fight as Chu Muye said.

Chu Muye thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Do you know how Daqian went from being a low-ranking country to becoming the best in the world in just a hundred years?"

Chen Zhian finally spoke and answered, "Is it because Daxi died?"

"This is just one of the reasons." Chu Muye said, "Daqian ruled the country with Xuanmen sects, and the laws in the country were suspended to restrain these Xuanmen sects... But once the time came to expand the territory, these Xuanmen were allowed to do whatever they wanted, refining soul tools, refining human pills, and casting blood array black flags, without any prohibition.

For example, the Helang Kingdom among the twelve small countries had a population of 30 million. The Daqian Xuanmen invaded in one day and flattened 29 cities, killing 2.6 million people. Almost all the young and strong people who could make human pills were slaughtered. "

Chen Zhian was a little stunned when he heard this.

Then he felt a little unbelievable: "Daqian is so fierce, and there is also the threat of the Dali Iron Cavalry Cloud Eagle in the north. How could there be people in the world's noble families who want to surrender to Daqian?"

"There is none on the surface, but there are many in secret." Chu Muye sneered, "And most of the aristocratic families have different ideas from Prime Minister Song.

Prime Minister Song wants to integrate the scattered forces of Dayu into one place to fight against foreign enemies together.

But they feel that they are born noble and do not allow their power and wealth to flow out and weaken, so there are two factions in the court now."

“In the Song Xiang faction, the greatest force is the royal family, which is supported by Emperor Zhaofu. In addition, there are some people who are truly concerned about the country and the people, and are unwilling to let the people of Dayu become the elixir in the fire.

For example... Qin Dadu Yu who will enter Beijing today... Chen Zhian, you and I have the future of countless people on our shoulders.

The massacre last night and the agreement made with the Taoist priest in the Unpolished Jade Pasture were your first great achievements.

Prime Minister Song specially invited me to his residence today to thank you."

Chen Zhian thought carefully for a long time and finally stood up.

The two of them walked out of the yard together and walked on Fusang Street until they reached the intersection of Imperial City and East Street. On the street, which was already crowded with people, countless tourists suddenly separated spontaneously and cheered loudly.

Chen Zhian and Chu Muye stood behind the dense crowd of heads and looked up.

But I saw a few riders coming slowly.

The leader is a plainclothes man!

This man was tall and majestic, with a scar on his forehead, a tough look in his eyes, and an extraordinary spirit.

He rode on horseback like a mountain, with a majestic and powerful spirit to the extreme.

He looked to be no more than forty years old, but his temples were slightly gray and his brows were furrowed. I don't know what he was thinking about.

At this moment, Chen Zhian looked at the general, but he felt that the twelve divine auras in his Niwan Palace suddenly trembled and began to shake.

Chen Zhian immediately looked at Nanliu Jing. Nanliu Jing's light shone on the twelve divine auras, and the unpolished jade divine aura returned to normal.

He was suddenly surprised. Who on earth is this person?
Chen Zhian had met Li Bodu before, and had also met Si Yuanyan, who escorted Li Xushi to Xuantianjing.

These two men, one is General Xuan Zi who commands 90,000 Songhuai troops, and the other is General Rong Tian who was even awarded a title of nobility for his military exploits. Both are extremely powerful figures.

But the courage of the two of them is far less than that of this person.

"This is the Qin Dadu Yu I just mentioned. People say he has traveled thousands of miles to see the mountains and rivers, and he also holds a sword to protect the Spring and Autumn Annals." Chu Muye spoke with some respect in his eyes.
The Grand Imperial Guard did not look at him, but he stood there and slowly saluted the Grand Imperial Guard.

The man on horseback seemed to sense something, turned around, and nodded gently towards Chu Muye.

For a moment, his gaze swept over, and Chen Zhian's gaze collided with his. The twelve divine auras in Chen Zhian's Niwan Palace suddenly weakened again, and even stopped emitting brilliance.

"How profound is this person's cultivation?"

Chen Zhian sighed in his heart.

After coming to Xuantianjing, he had met many important figures, some of whom were highly skilled, such as Si Yuanyan, or Cheng Jihe, the elder of Fujian Mountain, who should all be extremely skilled figures. However, the shock they brought to Chen Zhian was far less than that of these people.

The man rode away on horseback, passing through East Street, and Chen Zhian followed him with his eyes all the way.

Just as he reached the entrance of the imperial city, Chen Zhian suddenly saw a young man in white clothes hurrying over and saluting the Grand Duke from afar.

It turned out to be Chu Xiubai.

Qin Dadu Yu did not go to see him, but Chu Xiubai, after paying respectful salute, followed him from a distance and continued to escort the general into the imperial city.

"The Chu family is really good at acting." Chu Muye smiled and said to Chen Zhian, "You must remember that Qin Daduyu is a real figure in my Dayu.

He is in charge of the five northern states and fights against Dali together with General Zhutian. In the near future, if Daqian invades, he will surely be the one to take up the command and protect the 800 million people of Dayu.

You should also greet him when you see him in the future."

Chen Zhian already knew Chu Muye's character. He once resigned in anger because of the corruption in the court. He was an ambitious person who could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

To be respected by him, this Qin Dadu Yu must be an outstanding man.

The two continued to walk towards Baishou Street.

Chu Muye and Chen Zhian talked about Qin Dadu Yu.

“This Qin Wenzhu, the Grand Commander of Qin, was born in the Huaqing Qin family. He is not a concubine’s son, nor is he a descendant of a branch family. He is the legitimate son of the powerful Qin family.

But this person was born to be eccentric. There are rumors that when he was sixteen years old, he couldn't stand the rules of the aristocratic family, so he took a long sword and traveled around the world alone."

“It’s not just traveling around Dayu, but truly traveling around the world.

He has been to the two islands in the South China Sea, Luofu Sea, Dali and Daqian. "

"There is another story. He went to Daqian to practice, but was caught by a Xuanmen elder who wanted to make him into a great elixir. I don't know how he escaped, changed his name, and joined another Xuanmen."

"In just two years, he had emerged as a prominent figure in the Xuanmen sect. Two years later, he used some unknown means to instigate a war between two Xuanmen sect members, causing a huge chaos.

Da Du Yu took his revenge, but took advantage of the chaos to flee back to Dayu..."

"Later, he still didn't want to return to the Qin family, but instead joined the army, where he was favored and promoted by General Zhutian, and he became a sensation since then.

Even now, he is only in his forties, but he is already the most prominent figure in Dayu."

Chu Muye spoke with reverence as he carefully told the story of this Qin Grand Commander.

Chen Zhian also thought it was quite exciting...

There are many nobles and princes in the world, but this is the first time Chen Zhian has heard of a figure like this great governor.

“In the court now, the six families of Dayu are still hiding behind the scenes, and the Duke of Anguo is extremely powerful…Except for Prime Minister Song, the rest of the people in the court either keep silent or resist secretly.

Only this Qin Dadu Yu wrote several letters to argue with the Duke of Anguo, and even angrily denounced the Duke of Anguo as a glutton in the court. "

After hearing this, Chen Zhian had a better understanding of Qin Dadu Yu.

Judging from Wei Lingyu's capricious and domineering appearance, this Duke of Anguo must be no good person. It is admirable that Qin Daduyu has such courage.

The two chatted as they arrived at Baishou Street. The gate of Prime Minister Song's courtyard was ajar, so the two pushed the door open without knocking.

But in the yard, the octogenarian had already prepared tea and was waiting.

The old man seemed quite tired. When he saw the two people coming, he just waved silently.

The two of them bowed and took their seats. Song Xiqu personally poured tea for Chen Zhian. He did not say anything, but pointed at the food on the table and said, "Old Xu went home to visit his relatives today, so I cooked these two dishes.

You two can just eat first."

The two dishes on the table were quite simple, one was braised vegetables and the other was stir-fried beef. They were not very tasty, but there was no strange taste.

So the three of them each took a bowl of rice and had a simple lunch on Baishou Street.

Song Xiqu talked to the two of them from time to time, and their topics were nothing more than the many grand scenes during the court ceremony.

It was not until then that Chen Zhian realized that Prime Minister Song had never been to the Xuanxing Palace from beginning to end.

"The court is closed now, so I'll just take a few days off."

Song Xiqu said this, then slowly stood up and walked into the east hall, taking out a large bowl.

Chen Zhian leaned over to look and saw a carp swimming slowly in the bowl.

"You have performed a great deed, so this fish will be your reward."

Song Xiqu handed the bowl over, and Chen Zhian took it, somewhat puzzled.

"This fish is easy to raise. Just feed it and change the water...it should be of great use in the future."

Song Xiqu said this with some emotion: "Qin Wenzhuo is back. I still remember the last time he came back was twelve years ago."

Chu Muye nodded: "General Yun is about to be executed, and the emperor came to the capital probably to see him off."

Song Xiqu suddenly smiled and said, "You underestimate Qin Wenzhuo."

Chu Muye was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.

In this small courtyard, three people sat at the same table. Outside the courtyard, there was a lively court ceremony. Inside the courtyard, the three people only spoke a word from time to time.

Somewhat quiet.

It looks quite harmonious.

The capital of Xuantian was still extremely lively, with many people speculating on who would stand out in this court ceremony and who would be able to ascend to the Wangxing Palace and drink with the other gentlemen.

But just one night.

The poem spread quietly, from Jixian Garden to the Imperial College, and then to Siji Pavilion and Zhongji Hall...

Even in the evening.

Even Qin Daduyu had an extra piece of paper in his hand.

"You said this was written by a young man of eighteen or nineteen?"

Qin Dadu Yu was not interested in poetry at all, but when he heard that the poetry that spread throughout Xuantianjing in just one day came from a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, he was still a little surprised.

He lowered his head and read the poem carefully.

The wind blew through his white hair, and for a moment... Qin Dadu Yu let out a long breath.

"War is like a fire, and it rarely ends well."

"I'm afraid I'll die in the northern part of Dayu, and I won't be able to return before I die."
