Fifteen breaths later, the first court official stepped out from the hall. The bright sun shone on his slightly aged face, but the reflected expression was serious.
The old official who was the first to walk out of the hall did not have a high position among the hundreds of officials in the early court. The doctor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, who was from the fifth rank, was also ranked last in the early court. Jia, with a smile on his face every time, greeted the imperial guards and stepped out of the hall, but such a trance like today is rare.
After the old scholar bureaucrat in front of the Huangji Hall slowly exhaled the turbidity accumulated in his chest, he took the lead to walk down the steps of the Huangji Hall, and then one after another, the important officials of the Xia Dynasty with neat official uniforms came in a file from the nine gates. It can be seen that these officials, whether civil or military, all have the same expression as the old scholar-bureaucrat just now.
Concentration, thinking, and the dignity before the storm!
The dark officials walked towards the Huangji Stairway together, and after entering the Meridian Gate for a long time, the five Shangshu figures of Daxia walked out slowly, and behind them, there were four introverted, but every move was enough to make the void Trembling old man.
There is one prince and two kings in Daxia, and Li Chunfeng, the former supervisor of Sitian.
According to the law of the Great Xia, the princes of the town are not allowed to return to Beijing without a summons. At this time, Wei Guogong, Ximan King, and Zhenhai King are all gathered in front of the Huangji Hall. The significance of this early court can be seen.
Then in front of the hall, Li Chunfeng, dressed in black, squinted his eyes and looked at the huge square below where a large number of officials walked, stroked his white beard, and sighed:
"When the stream cloud first rises, the sun sinks into the pavilion, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of the building. I don't know if these old fellows like me can gather together like now, two years later."
"It's impossible to gather in front of the Emperor's Hall, but the probability of meeting them on the battlefield is still very high. When the time comes, we old guys who have been half buried in the ground will see who dies late."
On the burly body of old Wei Guogong Xu Sheng, there was dragon-like energy and blood rolling up, and the voice of his mouth was like a bell, and then he patted the extremely brand-new Duke robe on his body, and continued to speak:
"The enemy is now, we people must live these two years, even if the five declines of heaven and man come, we must not die, dying on the battlefield is my last glory, but don't let that kid Jiang Yu die in Jiuquan Look down on it."
As soon as the name of Bei'an Wang Jiangyu came out of Xu Sheng's mouth, the faces of the other three old people were slightly startled, and then the old Zhenhai Wang Feilianqin showed a deep look of nostalgia on the face of the old lady next door, and said softly :
"Brother Xu is right. Jiang Yu was extremely rebellious when he was young. If I die before fighting and meet again in the Nine Nethers, I will indeed lose face."
After King Zhenhai's words fell, Zhong Lishi, the Ximan king who had not said a word, looked up at the sky, and suddenly sighed:
"In fact, since Jiang Yu was young, he has been a person who was born for big occasions, and the land of Taixuan that Great Xia is facing this time may be stronger and more dangerous than the enemies we encountered when we competed in the world. If Jiang Yu is still alive at this time, and he will definitely leave a strong mark in history, what a pity!"
"Everyone has their own destiny. Jiang Yu has suffered enough in this life. For him, this is not a kind of relief."
After Li Chunfeng's response sounded softly, the old man with white beard and hair rolled his eyes and continued to speak:
"The enemy is approaching, and the burdens on all of you are extremely heavy, and I don't know when I will meet again next time, so why don't you come to the small courtyard on the top of Shenjing Station today to have a cup of tea, which happens to be some planted by me. Vegetables and fruits are ripe, and you can still taste them.”
"It's still not necessary."
Faced with Li Chunfeng's kind invitation, the other three old people shook their heads in unison, and then Wei Guogong Xu Sheng raised his hand and patted the former's shoulder lightly, and responded:
"Drinking tea with you old boy, the old man might as well go back to the house and take a look at his own children. It's more interesting. Let's go, let's go."
After the energetic voice fell, Xu Sheng strode forward directly, taking powerful and generous steps, and walked down the square along the steps of His Royal Highness Huangji. Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Sheng's tiger-like body appeared Outside the Meridian Gate Square, beside the carriage belonging to Duke Wei's mansion, a slender figure was already waiting quietly.
Xu Sheng stopped and looked at the eldest granddaughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Then a loving smile appeared on his calm and prestige face, and he greeted him all the way:
"Good granddaughter, I haven't seen you in the past few months, and you are getting more and more fresh. Tsk tsk, and your cultivation level is soaring, and you will soon surpass me, a bad old man. The blue is better than the blue."
In the face of Xu Sheng's loud praise, which resounded like a tiger's roar, Xu Qing was already familiar with it. After rolling her eyes lightly, she raised her hand and opened the curtain of the carriage, and followed the former. The burly body got into the carriage.
Then the large carriage with the family emblem of Duke Wei started to move slowly. Accompanied by the scorching sun at noon and the gradually noisy cicadas, it drove out of the Meridian Gate of the White Emperor Palace at a steady speed, and then along the Central Avenue. , driving towards Zizhu Lane located in the middle of Shenjing City.
This slow-moving carriage is extremely stable, and you can't even feel any bumps. In the carriage, Xu Sheng and Xu Qing's grandfather and grandson are sitting opposite each other. It's like changing a different person, from the former big sister of Zizhu Lane who was a little bit aggressive, to now the silent and restrained commander-in-chief of the Radiant Army, Windrunner.
Including Xu Qing herself, no one can tell whether her changes are good or bad. The world is not as simple as black and white, but after watching her grow up since she was a child, she knows Xu Qing very well. The brave Wei Guogong understands how much bitterness is hidden behind his eldest granddaughter's reticence.
Afterwards, Xu Sheng, who was sitting in the carriage boldly and resolutely, stared quietly at Xu Qing, who had tightly pursed lips and bright and restrained eyes. The guilt in the tiger's eyes became stronger and stronger. After a long time, Xu Sheng opened his mouth softly, Sent a suicide sentence:
"Qing'er, Grandpa, I'm sorry!"
Xu Sheng said I'm sorry, with extremely strong sighs and guilt, which was extremely abnormal, even like an old man who was about to come to the end of his life, and before he died, he began to reflect on his mistakes in this life.
Therefore, after hearing the words in the carriage, Xu Qing suddenly raised her head and fell into a daze, because she knew that the Bow of Great Summer who had a tiger in her heart and sniffed the roses in front of her had always believed in concentration and Going forward, even when his son and daughter-in-law died in battle, he never said sorry to anyone.
But just when Xu Qing fell into a trance, a loud laugh suddenly sounded in the carriage, and then Xu Sheng's voice came out again:
"The old boy Li Chunfeng is right. The older he is, the more sentimental he will be. Grandpa will be very busy in the future. Therefore, Xu Hao and Xu Jin will be taken care of by you."
After finishing speaking, Xu Sheng looked up to the sky and let out a heroic laugh, but perhaps the laugh was too forceful, the old man raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly, then Xu Sheng put down his right hand and clenched his fist tightly, without moving darkly. I retracted it into the duke's robe, closed my eyes and meditated, and said nothing more.
But apart from Xu Sheng, what no one knew was that there was a pool of glaring black blood in this clenched fist.
Chapter 1065
It was noon, and the curling smoke from various places in Shenjing City began to rise upwards, and then the thick smoke began to fill the entire largest city in the vast land of Shenzhou. Even walking on the street, one could smell the mouth-watering smell. Rich food taste of Shengjin.
But at this time, no matter whether the people are in their homes or in the bustling restaurants, everyone is not in the mood to taste the food at this moment, but is talking about a sudden thing, that is, Guan Yousi The big movement made by announcing the world today.
Open the Valley of Giants to the entire Great Xia people!
But for this matter, the men and women of the whole Great Xia have completely different understandings and reactions.
Men, no matter what age they are, as young as a child who is still snowing in the school palace, as old as an old man who has reached the age of seventy, are all gearing up and excited. What's more, Mr. Wu from Qingsong Town, Ganzhou Less than half a quarter of an hour after I saw the notice, I had already tidied up the things at home.
Then the old man, carrying the cloth bag containing the clothes, rushed straight into Tie Zhu's house next door, and began to put down his old face, begging Tie Zhu's wife to help him say a good word, to see if he could join the first batch of giants' valley view among the qualifications of tourists.
The old man's appearance is sincere and touching. According to him, even in it, he has no complaints or regrets. He doesn't even care about the bickering of the little girl Tie Lan, who is almost crying, throwing himself around and forcing him to die.
In the end, the daughter-in-law who begged Tie Zhu had no choice but agreed to write a letter for her and send it to Shenjing City to see if Tie Zhu, who was the secretary of the Night Dire Division, could think of a way, which made Mr. Wu calm down a little. , but this old man, who had seen the greatest wish of the rest of his life, was still extremely stubborn and refused to leave.
On the other hand, the middle-aged women who got married in Daxia looked puzzled at the excitement of their men, and then they couldn't stand the former's nagging, and opened their mouths angrily asked:
"Isn't it the so-called Valley of Giants? Could it be that there are real gold and silver in it, and you can get rich if you enter it, so you are so excited?"
"How can you, a woman, understand the reason why a good man's ambition is in all directions? May I ask which man in the whole Great Xia has never had the dream of breaking into the forbidden area with a sword!"
The husband's response was merciless, and then he put down the bowls and chopsticks directly, and was about to walk out and count up with the neighbor's man. At the same time, the voice continued:
"This Valley of Giants is one of the eight forbidden areas. It once kept countless people out. Once your husband and I are lucky enough to step into it, it will be recorded in history. What an honor it will be. In the future, our children When you become sensible, you will be proud of me."
After the words fell, the man put his hands full of calluses back due to his hard work on weekdays, and was about to step over the threshold, but his wife's voice sounded behind him stopped him:
"I'm a woman who doesn't understand what is forbidden, but His Majesty must have his own intentions to set up the Tourism Department and open this so-called Valley of Giants. I believe in Your Majesty, so I will not stop you, but before that , come back and wash the dishes for me."
As soon as the words came out, the man who was about to step out of the threshold with his hands behind his back immediately retracted his steps, turned around, walked back to the kitchen with a smile on his face, rolled up his sleeves, and at the same time whispered softly:
"My lady, you should have said earlier, I have washed all the bowls for the past six months."
Just when this kind of situation was happening everywhere in Shenjing City, Zizhu Lane in Shenjing City, at the gate of Wei Guogong's mansion, the carriage from the White Emperor Palace slowly stopped, and then the old Duke Xu Sheng and the Tianhui Army Xu Qing The figure stepped off the carriage, and Xu Jin and Xu Hao, who had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time, their eyes lit up, and they immediately rushed forward.
But before the two brothers and sisters who came to Wei Guogong had time to speak, they heard the old man in front of him speak first:
"Xu Hao, once you pouted your butt, I know what you're going to fart, old man. You don't even eat lunch, and you wait for this old man at the door. It must have something to do with the opening of the Valley of Giants by the Tour Department."
Wei Guogong's voice fell like a bell, and Xu Hao, who was poked at the center, showed a big smile, and then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and at the same time the voice came out:
"Those who know me, grandpa, grandpa, you must also want to know what the forbidden land of the Valley of the Giants looks like, let alone a passionate young man like me, it's really itchy, I really want to see what's going on!"
"So you let my grandfather, Wei Guogong, lose face and ask for a few places from Sun Qian, the Prime Minister of the Watching and Touring Department?"
When the response resounded through the gate of Wei Guogong's mansion, Xu Sheng stepped forward and walked into the mansion in front of him first, and Xu Hao who followed behind him nodded vigorously again, and a rather embarrassed voice came out:
"According to our Daxia practice, unless His Majesty personally orders such quotas to be strictly controlled, a small number of them will be transferred among the ministries, which is equivalent to a reward for the hard work of the six ministries and fifteen divisions. If you open your mouth, Grandpa, the others will be convinced." , This is the first time I've begged Grandpa like that."
After Xu Hao finished speaking, together with the second young lady Xu Jin, they looked at Wei Guogong who was striding forward with great anticipation, but the latter shook his head. As a result, the siblings suddenly showed deep disappointment, but Xu Sheng The following words made the two of them once again ignite hope:
"As Duke Wei of Great Xia, this old man can't lose face to grab the seat of the Valley of Giants from the people below, but you two little guys are also well-behaved on weekdays, and you haven't asked the old man for anything, so let's do this, after lunch in the mansion After dinner, you and I will go back to Yulongguan with the old man, and have a match with those soldiers who have merged with the Taoist soul.
"If you win, old man, I'll show my face and get a few places for you. Not only the two of you, but even your friends in Zizhu Lane can go together, but if you lose unfortunately, then grandpa, I'm ugly!" Speaking of which, at that time, not only will we have to obediently wait for the full opening of the Valley of Giants, but we will also have to suffer some flesh and blood."
After the words fell, the old Wei Guogong slowed down, turned his head to look at his grandson next to him, his eyes were burning, then Xu Hao raised his fists and clenched his fists, his face was confident, and he responded softly:
"We waited for the descendants of Wei Guogong Xu, one of the fourteen surnames, have we ever flinched?"
"Good boy, have ambition!"
Wei Guogong Xu Sheng Yangtian let out a loud laugh, raised his hand and slapped Xu Hao on the head beside him. Compared with Xu Sheng, who was as burly as a tiger, Xu Hao, who was still young, was like a newly born tiger cub.
But there has been a saying in the human race since ancient times, a tiger father has no dogs, isn't it?
Chapter 1066 A New Journey
With the rapid development of the Great Summer and the speed of development like riding a rocket, some of the eight forbidden areas that were once considered by countless people to enter must die have become no longer mysterious and dangerous, such as Hexu Mountain and Hexu Mountain in Guizhou. The Valley of Giants is located in the depths of the southwest wild forest.
However, there are still some forbidden places, which are still mysterious and dangerous, representing the most mysterious side of the entire Heaven and Earth Avenue, and Endless Mountain, as the head of the eight forbidden places, is undoubtedly the leader among them.
In other words, for Daxia at this time, even though the origin of Shenzhou Haotu itself is already clear, the endless Wushan Mountain is still as mysterious and bottomless as a black hole.
In Wulong Mountain Yulongguan, the three never-falling scorching suns above the sky radiate bright, but not hot light, and at the same time illuminate every corner of this huge and boundless frontier giant fortress.
At this time, Yulong Pass under the light, because of Daxia's complete victory over the Sun Empire, most of the heavy burden that was originally on the shoulders of this fortress was relieved at once, not only the deafening sound of charging and fighting outside the city wall , The roar suddenly disappeared, and even the tens of millions of troops stationed here were deployed back to the mainland of Daxia under the orders of Zhao Yu and the Ministry of War, in order to deal with the contact with the land of Taixuan in the near future.
In a sense, this fortress in Xijiang, which once carried the youth and blood of countless Great Xia soldiers, has now become an honorably retired veteran!
The alien race has completely disappeared in Wuwu Mountain, and its mission has ended for the time being. Only the dark brown city wall that has been repeatedly infested with the blood of countless enemies and friends, and the mottled and criss-crossed scars on the city wall silently tell the story of how this grand pass used to be. Thrilling, soul-stirring past glory.
On the towering city wall of Yulongguan, under the bright light, a burly figure wearing black heavy armor and a heavy shield as tall as a man stood quietly, looking down with calm and solemn eyes.
Then a young and clear figure came from not far away, and it sounded clearly on the city wall:
"Lieutenant Peng, I've been watching you stand on top of this city wall for a while, but you have something on your mind?"
After the words fell, Wang Jing, who was dressed in light armor, stepped from the bottom of the city wall to behind Peng Mu, and then Peng Mu responded with a heavy voice:
"I'm practicing!"
After Peng Mu's faint response came out, Wang Jing stepped forward, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hands, supported the city wall in front of him, and continued to speak:
"Although your Dao Soul, Colonel Peng, is a city brick, it doesn't mean that you have to be on top of the city wall to practice, but I remember what Wan'er told me before returning to the army from Fengcheng. Things, you want me to take good care of you, brother-in-law, and let me see what you are watching?"
After finishing speaking, the handsome Wang Jing lowered his head and followed Peng Mu's eyes to look down. He saw a group of sergeants lining up at the corner of Yulong Pass below. , not wearing the armor to kill the enemy, but a plain white robe that represents saving lives and healing the wounded.
Great Xia Xijiang Military Medical Officer!
The girls in the military doctors and guards are the dream lovers of all the boys in the army throughout the summer. Therefore, after these military flowers are out of the camp, they attract the attention of a large number of other soldiers. The girl standing in front undoubtedly attracted the most attention.
This girl with a calm face and picturesque eyes, a military doctor and guard, exudes a calmer aura than a shield soldier in her tall figure. From a distance, she looks like a quietly blooming Tianshan snow lotus. Eye-catching, but people dare not approach.
Peng Mu's response on the city wall was as thick as ever, and then the dark eyes on his face with Chinese characters stared at the girl who was talking at the front of the military doctor and guard below, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth softly. road:
"Wang Jing, you know, I'm still not used to it."
After the words fell, Peng Mu raised his right hand that was supporting the city wall, pointed down, and continued to speak:
"After I came to Jade Dragon Pass in Endless Mountain, for so many years, Jade Dragon Pass has been full of gunpowder and blood, and the war outside the pass is like a millstone of flesh and blood. The only place where you can close your eyes is the extremely dark place. tent."
Speaking of this, Peng Mu rested his finger on the west side of Yulong Pass. The stretch was endless, and Fang Fangzheng was on top of the tents like tofu blocks. But if you look carefully, these tents have already begun to be dismantled by a large number of soldiers. , and then the voice from Peng Mu on the city wall continued to sound:
"The place where the tents used to be was very lively. The fire in the hands of the Huotou army was burning blazingly all the time, providing food for the soldiers returning from the front line. Beasts, even the shortest Sun cockroaches, can eat half of a small strange beast without any trouble, so these fire-headed soldiers will turn blue and white every time they see us and other soldiers rushing in. "
Accompanied by the description in Peng Mu's steady voice, it wasn't that long ago, but it seemed to people that the scenes in the Yulongguan battlefield were extremely far away, slowly unfolding in front of Wang Jing's eyes like a scroll.
Wang Jing didn't join the army for a long time, so except for the final battle against the Shenwei Fortress, he didn't really participate in the bloody and brutal battle between the fortress under his feet and the alien race. There have been many battles, and he also has a deep understanding of the real life-and-death battlefield. After Peng Mu finished speaking, his eyes moved slightly, and he responded softly:
"Peng Mu, you have to understand that everything we see in front of us has a very heavy name, it is called peace, and this peace is the supreme glory forged by human soldiers for countless years with their lives. Not easy, so precious.
"The general dies in a hundred battles, and the strong man returns after ten years. Peace is so rare. I wish the whole world will be peaceful like this. So Peng Mu, you have to get used to it."
"But now is not the time to get used to peace."
The seriousness in Peng Mu's voice did not disappear, then he turned around slowly, looked at Wang Jing with a confident smile on his face, and continued to speak slowly:
"The most common thing people do is to forget, and those of us understand more clearly than anyone else that the so-called peace in the world is actually far away."
"Of course, Your Majesty understands, and the cultural relics officials of the Manchu Dynasty also understand that all of this is for the glory of the victory of the next dispute. Although we only have the strength of a man, we should also become stronger. In history On the stage, you have to play a more important role."
After finishing speaking, Wang Jing slowly raised his hand, took out a transfer order and handed it to Peng Mu in front of him, and the clear voice continued:
"Your Majesty has ordered us to go to Shenjing City."
After the words were finished, Peng Mu lowered his head and looked at the transfer order in Wang Jing's hand, only to see that there were three major seals stamped on the transfer order.
Fuyao Great Seal, Great Seal of the Cabinet, Great Seal of the Ministry of War.
Chapter 1067
On the city wall of Yulong Pass in Endless Mountain, Peng Mu, who was dressed in black heavy armor like an iron tower, tightly pursed his lips, and then raised his hand to solemnly accept the transfer order from the White Emperor Palace from Wang Jing.
The tall and straight figures of the two, under the three rounds of scorching sun, left two clear shadows on the wall of the simple and solid Yulong Pass, and these two shadows, together with the Yulong Pass below them, will witness this The two young men who came from Fengcheng, Guizhou, who are known as the twin stars in the army, officially embarked on a new journey.
"Life is endless, fighting is endless. On the battlefield in the wild forest in the southwest, I once heard the young prince Jiang Yue say such a sentence. He said that if people like us who were born for war, one day, the world will really be peaceful. If there is no battle to fight, then what is the point of our existence?"
On the city wall, Peng Mu's deep voice sounded, and next to him, Wang Jing, who had always been wearing a confident smile on his face, responded after a moment of silent thought:
"You don't know yet, Wan'er just wrote a letter, saying that father-in-law, a craftsman who is usually silent, this time, in the ratings of the Daxia Academy, he beat all the others in the entire Fengcheng, reaching the level of a teacher. Realm, if compared with the realm of our practice, it is the master of Dao Realm, and it is said that the Ministry of Industry intends to recruit the father-in-law to the small world of the floating island, which is really remarkable.
"If it really comes to the time you said, we can't say that we should learn the craft of carpentry from your father-in-law, that is, your father, otherwise this big family will not be easy to support."
"Wang Jing, you are simply thinking too much."
After Peng Mu's response fell, he turned around slightly holding the order, staring at the military doctors and guards who had assembled below and began to march towards the distance in a fast and orderly manner, frowning and continued to speak:
