Chapter 51 Leizhou Meeting (2)

"Leizhou as a whole is like a big rice bowl that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The four northern kingdoms, from west to east, are the Yi Kingdom, the Ju Kingdom, the Cheng Kingdom, and the Ming Kingdom..."

"In the south is Langya, a big country. Its area is almost the size of the four countries combined, and its military strength far exceeds..."

"But the Langya Kingdom has not come to participate in the Leizhou Conference for several years. Since the great victory fifteen years ago, the Langya Kingdom has moved its capital to the south. Maybe they feel that the horse thieves are no longer the biggest threat, and there is still that guy in the south.

The Shura Divine General who massacred the city... Moreover, it is said that the leader of the country, Xiao Zhan, has been ill for many years..."

"The Yi Kingdom and the Langya Kingdom are adjacent to the Tianshan Mountains to the west, which is a large mountain range that stretches thousands of miles vertically down on the map and separates Leizhou to the east of the Tianshan Mountains and Dahuangzhou to the west.

On the top of Tianshan Mountain, there is a long barrier that is said to have been set by the ancient gods. The monsters in Dahuang State cannot cross it. It is precisely because of this sacred mountain that we in Leizhou are free from the suffering of monsters..."

"But there are times when the barrier is weak. Occasionally, monsters will cross the mountains and appear on the border of the Yi Kingdom. Probably because of this, the Yi Kingdom's military strength is relatively weak, but the development of demon-killing techniques is the best among the four northern countries...

"

"At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains is Tianshui City, the capital of the Yi Kingdom. The literati in Leizhou compared it to the 'water pearl at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains'. But because of its rich water veins, it has another name that is more familiar to us - "

"The city of hundreds of springs."

When Ye Ziqi followed the army and walked through the gate of Tianshui City, he saw the four characters "City of Hundreds of Springs" engraved on the first stone tablet standing on the roadside. He thought, along the way, from the words of the veterans,

The rumors I heard here are probably true.

This city is where General Lian Hongye became famous fifteen years ago.

Looking at the scenery inside the city, Ye Ziqi couldn't help but be surprised. The ground was already full of green, and green buds were already sprouting from the branches beside the road.

"Spring has come early to us in Tianshui City." A soldier from the Yi Kingdom he met on the road said to him with a smile:

"Because the ground is warm. The more winter comes, the warmer the spring water is. It is the best in Leizhou for bathing. The water is white and soft, floating on the long dark green algae. How beautiful!

Even if we step on this road now, we can still feel the warm spring water flowing under the road! This is the blood of the city. So, even when walking in winter, we Tianshui people feel warm in our hearts.

"

As Ye Ziqi listened, he seemed to understand why Tianshui City was able to persist for so long under the siege of horse thieves fifteen years ago. The book said, "Women and children carried burdens and went into battle, throwing excrement and water to attack the thieves."

The citizens love this city deeply.

After walking for a while, Ye Ziqi saw an ice sculpture of a crane, which was more than ten feet tall. It spread its wings suddenly and seemed to be flying, and its body was soft and graceful.

Zi Ziqi thought that this must be the same city symbol as the Hanye Snow Sculpture, but he didn't know if anyone in the city had such a white crane.

At this time, he heard the sound of the piano.

"This is--"

"It's the music of our Lord Yin," the Tianshui soldier said with a smile, "It's just the previous Lord."

"First-grade Immortal Master, Yin Changqin?" Ye Ziqi asked. He remembered that the old demon introduced him that Yin Changqin, the former leader of the Yi Kingdom, was the only first-grade Immortal Master in the north of Leizhou.

"How can you call our king by his first name!" the soldier said dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry. Lord Yin's piano sound is really good." Ye Ziqi apologized hurriedly.

Saying this is not just a compliment. Even if the legendary king cannot be seen, Ye Ziqi can't help but draw a picture in his heart just by the low and long sound of the piano.

The image of a dashing violinist.

It seems to place its affection on the bright moon and the mountains and rivers, with a transcendent ambition; and sometimes it uses the sound of the piano to describe the conditions in the world, such as resentment, admiration, weeping and complaints, which are all touching, but the piano player himself never falls into love.

After hearing this, the Tianshui soldiers laughed and said: "Haha, that's right. Lord Yin just came out of seclusion a few months ago and often comes to this city to play the piano. People who come from far away to take refuge in Tianshui have traveled hundreds of miles and thousands of miles.

, the first thing I heard was the sound of Lord Yin's piano, and then I saw the city wall of Tianshui City.

The past few months have been quite chaotic, but we city dwellers feel at ease listening to Yin Guozhu's zither. This is Leizhou's top demon-killing deity! With deities around, you don't have to be afraid of any monsters, let alone peace and harmony.

Are we horse thieves as tall as us?"

Ye Ziqi turned around and stared at the city gate for a moment.

"Brother Ye, what are you looking at?" The Tianshui soldier came over curiously, "Don't even think about finding the real person of the king. The sound of the king's piano is transmitted here through magic, and the real person is far away from here."

"No," Ye Ziqi shook his head, then pointed to the ice sculpture of a crane at the city gate, and said, "Have you ever felt that when the piano played, the crane seemed to be about to fly?"

"Ah?" The Tianshui soldier stared at him with wide eyes: "Where is it? It's all nonsense!"

"Maybe my eyesight is dazzled."

Ye Ziqi said no more and rode into the city with the team.

After staying at the mansion, Wang Zhong, the captain of the Third Guards, came to Ye Gu and told them:

In the martial arts chess game at the Leizhou Conference, Gu Feng will play the "horse" chess player, which is undoubtedly a powerful chess position. Considering that Ye Ziqi is not good at riding horses and driving cars, he will play the "general" chess player!

That is, the last chess piece that determines victory or defeat.

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng thanked Wang Zhong for his attention, and then waited in the mansion.

From time to time, more and more excited discussions among the people in the city would float outside the courtyard wall. It was probably because Tianshui City was hosting a grand event, which would increase its reputation among other countries, but it was difficult for strangers like them to resonate.

Only the sound of Yin Changqin that plays every day is the only entertainment these days.

When the kings of the four countries arrived in Tianshui City, the Leizhou Conference was held.

The scale of this grand event is even greater than the annual military exercise in Hanye City, and it is also held in the palace grounds. Although there will not be a forest of guns and halberds, there will be wine, beauties, and dancing pavilions on a high platform.

The drums sounded at dawn, and more than 2,000 soldiers from the four countries were the first to enter the school grounds to greet the king.

The layout of the school grounds in Yi State is slightly different from that in Ju State. Especially in the center of the school grounds, there is a wide wooden platform. It is not known whether it was originally used for commanding generals or was temporarily built for today's use.

Most people know that in the past few days, the generals of the four countries have already exchanged military information and intensely discussed the battle plan. The significance of today is that the princes and princes exchange the final content that needs to be confirmed.

During this time, the trading chips are completely determined and just a formality.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the nobles present, today's singing and dancing content is the highlight.

When the trumpet sounded, the four princes, together with their trusted generals, climbed up the wooden stairs and took their seats on the stage in front of everyone's attention.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Yin Changqin, the former leader of the Yi Kingdom.

Although he is over fifty years old, he still has black hair like a waterfall, a long and straight body, a majestic and vigorous face, and real sword eyes and starry eyebrows. And, the most iconic thing is that he always carries a wrapped bag behind him.

The long harp in the harp bag.

In contrast, the younger brother of this master, Yin Changshu, the current leader of the State of Yi, looked ordinary in appearance. After taking the stage, Yin Changshu sat down on the main seat facing east, and Yin Changqin sat down on the first seat facing north.

"Yin Changqin is alive and well, why should he give up the throne to his younger brother?" Gu Feng asked Ye Ziqi doubtfully. He knew that Ye Ziqi had a lot of experience in this area and liked to show off.

"It's still the same thing fifteen years ago." Ye Ziqi replied:

"At that time, Yin Changqin followed the Emperor of Song Dynasty to the wilderness to eliminate demons, and the horse thieves took advantage of the opportunity to attack. Although General Lian was finally sent back, after Yin Changqin returned to the country, he still regretted not being able to fight against the country's most critical situation when he saw the ruins all over the city.

When it comes to taking charge of the overall situation, self-hate is king without status;

In addition, despite his desperate efforts to kill the Great Wilderness Music Demon, he himself was also seriously injured and unable to take charge of the country's recovery work, so he gave up the throne to his younger brother Yin Changshu and went into seclusion for more than ten years."

Gu Feng nodded and said: "Look, the prince who is following the Baicheng Hou behaves in a dissolute manner. What is his background?"

"Being a king of nine directions." Ye Ziqi said: "It's not strange for a king who raises horses to be bold and bold."

"Horse King?"

"Well, every generation of Chengwang is also the owner of Chengyuan Racecourse. It is said that the ancestor of Chengwang was a military general during the Tianfeng period. In order to avoid the disaster of war, he led his tribe to the north. By chance, he found a hidden valley——

Chengyuan, where he lived and worked in peace and contentment and established a pasture.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, the number of residents continued to increase, and they moved out to nearby towns to form nearby towns. Chengyuan has also become the economic lifeline of northern Leizhou, and is famous throughout the world for its high-quality horses.

Later, when the Emperor of Song Dynasty attacked the barbarians of Qianzhou, Jiufangci, the owner of Chengyuan Racecourse, took the initiative to donate thousands of good horses to help. Emperor Song commended him for his loyalty and made Jiufangci a marquis, which was the first generation of King Cheng.

.

Later, the descendants of Jiu Fangci, even if they were princes, often regarded the owner of the horse farm as their first identity and personally raised horses, so their behavior was inevitably a bit rough.

Speaking of their country, the most interesting thing is that Sun Liang, the current general in charge of the army, was originally promoted because he was good at horse-drawing, so people called him 'General Bole'."

"Oh, I understand." Gu Feng nodded, but then his eyes widened again: "Why is that bodyguard sitting on the throne?"

"Ah?" Ye Ziqi heard the words and quickly looked towards the stage, only to see a pale-faced man with a white head, wearing a red robe, as if he came from a famous demon-killing family, and now he is following a certain prince as a bodyguard.

The old man sat down on the third prince's chair facing south, and then laughed and said:

"The bodyguard of God is sitting on the throne. That is Xia Wuyang, the 'Sun Emperor' of the Ming Dynasty! The predecessor of the Ming Dynasty was the Sun and Moon Sect. Later, when the sect grew more, it established a religious country, named 'Ming Kingdom'.

After the founding of the country, the Ming Dynasty still maintained its original political structure. The highest-status people in the country were the two priests, known as the Sun and Moon Gods. They were both well-known Taoist masters, and they did not wear royal robes but religious robes.

Rule together with the two kings.

Sun Yu and Yue Yu will never leave the Ming Dynasty at the same time. Now that Xia Wuyang has come here on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, it means that Qin Sishui, the 'Yue Yu', is still staying in the Ming Dynasty to take charge."

Ye Ziqi was talking lively here, and several officers were attracted to him. They wanted to learn more, and they even coaxed him to talk more. Ye Ziqi was happy to be praised, and when he was about to say a few more words, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his heart.

:

"Young boy, don't attract attention." The voice of the old demon leader said: "Your skills are too poor. Even if I try my best, I can't hide the demon body under the nose of that old man Yin Changqin. Remember, Qian

Don't attract his attention. You are not allowed to use demonic power today, and I will try not to talk to you again. Take care of yourself!"
