Chapter 2 Shocking Secret
Murong Xue was very curious: "How can it be so twisty? The Turks actually got involved in the ghost desert of Western Xinjiang, and secretly launched a rebellion in the vassal state! What happened next? They changed to attack Persia. What happened?"
Xu Youchang: "I don't know the specific details. I heard these old things from my grandfather. According to the reports from the spies we sent in the Western Continent, the Turks' attack on Persia went very smoothly. However, later, Shandu Yimo captured a Persian.
The beautiful concubine actually captured and executed Queen Danina, which triggered a rebellion of the Yelun tribe. A royal war broke out between the Blood Wolf tribe and the Yelun tribe, and the Condor, Gold and other tribes were also involved one after another. The Battle of Yahan Mountain,
Shandu Yimo suffered a big loss, and nearly half of the blood wolf warriors were lost. Although they finally managed to break through and escaped back to Flame Maple Forest City, since then, the strength of the blood wolf tribe has been greatly reduced, and they can no longer be destroyed as before.
Whoever came was destroyed, and the various Turkic tribes also fell into melee for ten years."
"What a coincidence," Murong Xue couldn't help but sigh: "The two great empires of the East and West fell into civil strife at almost the same time. Each was fighting life and death at home, and no one had time to pay attention to the outside world. This is really a trick of fate.
.”
Xu Youchang nodded: "That's right. The Shengtang and the Turks were in chaos, and they were calmed down almost at the same time. There was destined to be a big showdown between the two families. This is why I agree with Li Jiangyao's judgment.
If you can't ride with the good Imperial Guards Tiger and Leopard, you have to choose to join the army in the Zhenjiang Protectorate."
Murong Xue turned her head when she heard this, picked up a pebble and threw it over: "Hey, lazy cat, you have been sleeping for a long time, it's time to wake up!"
The young man lying not far away didn't even open his eyes. He raised his hand to catch the stone flying towards him, and sighed quietly: "Why are you sleeping? You two keep talking, disturbing people's dreams."
As he spoke, he turned over and sat up, his handsome eyes shining brightly: "Old Xu, what is the situation in the Turks now? Has the old man mentioned it again?"
Xu Youchang: "It's what I told you last time. Because of the Turkic melee, the trade routes in Western Xinjiang have been blocked. Big businessmen can only take a detour and go from Persia to the Western Continent to do business. However, just two years ago,
Before that, Shandu Yimo was assassinated by his own soldiers. After his son Shandu Han took over, he suddenly took the initiative to join the Golden Clan and gave up the throne of the Turkic Great Khan to Ashina Zhijin. From then on, the Turkic various
The big tribes were either defeated by the Golden Tribe, or they consciously obeyed orders, and the entire empire gradually returned to normal. That's all, nothing else."
Li Jiangyao nodded slightly: "It's been two years, and this information is really well-informed."
Murong Xue suddenly asked: "Hey, do you think something will really happen?"
Li Jiangyao asked back: "Do you think nothing will happen?"
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Murong Xue shook his head: "The Turks are at peace, but we, the Holy Tang Dynasty, may not be at peace. If the Turks attack now, let alone the Royal Guards and the Fourth Army, let alone the twenty
I think the eight-state local team training and the Zhenjiang Protectorate alone are enough."
"Yes. If something is really going to happen, we have to hurry up." Li Jiangyao murmured to himself, but his thoughts had already flown to the hidden world on the other side.
Deep in his heart, there is a secret that cannot be told to anyone.
Even with the two classmates from the martial arts hall in front of him who were as close as brothers, he couldn't say a word.
He is not from this world.
Just over two years ago, Li Jiangyao had just graduated from the police academy and was assigned to the police station as a small-time police officer. During an arrest operation to assist the city bureau, he was captured by a suspect who had fled from an unfinished building.
Pushing it down, he unexpectedly fell into another time and space and came to the Holy Tang Dynasty.
For more than three years, Li Jiangyao tried every possible means to hide his true identity while trying to find a way to return to his own world. The hard work involved is really not understandable to outsiders.
During this time, he also gained valuable friendships.
With his extraordinary understanding, Li Jiangyao not only met He Jingming, the commander of the Fierce Blade Army by chance, but also became his disciple and became the only successor of Commander He's Xingluo Sword Technique. Later, He Jingming taught him
He was recommended to further his studies at the Imperial Capital Yanwu Hall, where he met Xu Youchang and Murong Xue, who also practiced there, and became sworn friends with Jinlan.
Xu Youchang was born as a general, and his grandfather Xu Lie was a veteran general of the Three Dynasties of the Holy Tang Dynasty. He had been in charge of the world-famous Qilin Army for nearly fifty years. There were countless old troops in the army, and everyone who met him was respected as "teacher".
Murong Xue comes from Jiange Prefecture. He is the only son of his family. His family is extremely wealthy. The combined land and property in his hands are comparable to the scale of counties. The family business is diverse and reaches as far as the East China Sea and the West, which is unmatched by anyone.
What's rare is that these two guys particularly admire Li Jiangyao's knowledge and ability. Whenever they get together to talk about world affairs, Xu Youchang and Murong Xue both admire him and obey his words.
Young people are young people after all, not to mention young people like them who are energetic and have outstanding backgrounds. Everyone has a character that is not afraid of anything, and they often get into trouble when they get together.
Famous general of Shengtang, half-starred in martial arts.
The famous and respected Martial Arts Hall has had eight bad years of bad luck since it recruited these three students.
Either today Prince Liang’s Mansion came to complain, or tomorrow the Imperial Academy blocked the door and cursed at their mother. In short, Li Jiangyao, Xu Youchang and Murong Xue were provoked by both dogs and cats, and there was no rest for a day, and even the entire martial arts hall was not allowed to do so all day long.
peaceful.
The instructors were so annoyed by the three of them that they all went to the head of the martial arts hall, Lu Zhanyi, to complain and clamored for him to deal with the three of them severely.
Lu Zhanyi smiled and spread his hands: Everyone, what do you want me to do with it?
Commander He Jingming used to be my boss, Mr. Xu Liexu was my mentor's mentor, and Murong Xue's biological aunt Murong Ninghan was my wife.
Tell me, which one can I afford to offend?
Unless you all go before the Emperor and ask for His Majesty's decree, I will act according to the decree and avoid going home and being hammered to death.
But it's a coincidence, because the results of these three guys are really good. In the last martial arts test, they were worthy of the emperor's attention, and they even issued an edict to commend them. If I were to fire them, the emperor would come back and find me.
I couldn't hand over the person I wanted, and in the end I had to be beaten to death by a tiger and leopard rider.
Lu Zhanyi's remarks immediately made the teachers lose their temper. They all had no choice but to cheer up and continue their battle of wits and courage with Li Jiangyao, Xu Youchang, and Murong Xue.
Time flies, time flies.
Fortunately, the martial arts hall is not a place of death, and student soldiers will eventually graduate. As the annual day to allocate soldiers is gradually approaching, the instructors can breathe a sigh of relief and feel that this life is still worth it.
But they didn't expect that Li Jiangyao and the other three would make a big splash for them in the end.
Since the fourth emperor Li Yan founded the Martial Arts Hall, more than 700 years have passed. Many outstanding generals have been trained here for the Shengtang army, and the rules here have never changed at all. One of them is for
Distribution method of student soldiers with different grades.
Special class martial arts, working as a palace official, unable to escape the splendor and dignity of the royal guard.
The first-class martial arts subjects will be picked first by the main army. They will be treasures for fighting tough battles in the future, and they will be awarded the title of general in the near future.
For the second-class martial arts, the direction of the army is to select and transfer them one by one, and to train them for a few years is also a good seedling.
Although the results of the third-class martial arts subjects are lower, if they can be assigned to a prosperous state and county, they will at least become a school captain, and they will have no worries about food and clothing throughout their lives.
However, the three who were the best in this assessment and the three who were the most mischievous actually ignored the rules of the martial arts hall and volunteered to go to the Zhenjiang Protectorate!
I’m really full, it’s inexplicable!
Although the teachers were quite dissatisfied with this, they were thinking about taking advantage of this to get angry and deal with Li Jiangyao and the others. However, they did not expect that the first master, who had no good effect in the first place, came to cause trouble again this time.
Lu Zhanyi very patiently asked the three of them why they decided to go to Zhenjiang, and then nodded with hope: Well, you are ambitious, good job, sure!
Are you right? This is even more inexplicable.
Seeing the first and most blatant guardian opening the back door, the instructors couldn't help but ask around, what was the reason for the three of them to go to Zhenjiang Protector's Mansion?
Soon, the answer was asked, and Li Jiangyao judged that Western Xinjiang was unstable.
Because the Western Xinjiang is unstable, there will be wars in the Zhenjiang Protectorate. Because the Zhenjiang Army will fight, aspiring young people should actively devote themselves there to make contributions to the Holy Tang Dynasty.
This logic sounds correct, and there is nothing wrong with it at all.
Some people even speculated that Lu Zhanyi was willing to nod and agree because there was an expert behind his back. The original purpose was to let the three guys go to Western Xinjiang for gold plating. It didn't matter whether they actually went to the battlefield or not. As long as the war was together, there would be a chance.
Give them credit for planning and achieve success.
Yes, that’s the trick! Damn, he’s a kid from a rich family, reincarnated as a little expert!
But it is a pity that although everyone thought they had figured out the way to this matter, they still guessed wrong after all. Not only them, Lu Zhanyi was also wrong, but even Xu Youchang and Murong Xue were also wrong.
The reason is very simple. The so-called trouble in Western Xinjiang and the imminent chaos and war are all nonsense told by Li Jiangyao.
His purpose is not here, but in Tieshi Mountain.
There is an Iron Stone Mountain in the Ghost Desert of Western Xinjiang, which Li Jiangyao accidentally saw in the library of the Imperial College. According to records in the book, many great sages of the Immortal family once ascended to the place called Iron Stone Mountain and went to other places.
world.
When Li Jiangyao read this, he couldn't help but be shocked. He keenly felt that this might be the best way to return to his own world.
It is very likely that there is a gate of time and space in Tieshi Mountain in Ghost Desert, connecting different worlds.
His heart couldn't help but beat.
Although the Shengtang Dynasty was good, the people here were also very good to him. Brothers Xu Youchang and Murong Xue, as well as teachers He Jingming, Grandpa Xu, Master Lu, and even the teachers of the Yanwu Hall, everyone treated him very well.
But he still wanted to go back.
In that world, he still had his parents, his classmates and comrades, and countless things that he couldn't let go of and give up, waiting for him to go back.
Li Jiangyao decided at that time that no matter whether what was written in the book was true or false, he must go to Tieshi Mountain to see it, otherwise he would never be willing to do so. However, having said that, it is not that easy to go.
First of all, Shengtang's territory is vast. From the imperial capital to the western frontier, the journey is more than ten thousand miles. It may not be easy to travel based on his own current ability.
Secondly, since he has entered the martial arts hall, he is regarded as a person with a military position there. Leaving without authorization to go to Guimo is a crime of leaving without authorization to put it mildly. When the military hussars come to visit, He Jingming and Lu Zhanyi may not be able to
Can keep him.
Therefore, the best way is to be assigned by the imperial court to the Protector's Mansion in Western Xinjiang upon graduation. Wouldn't it be just right to go there openly and openly?
And more importantly, the Iron Stone Mountain mentioned in the book only has a name and no other detailed information. If there is no military assistance in the vast ghost desert, it may take a lot of trouble to find it.
But if you become an officer of the Zhenjiang Protectorate, your actions will naturally be much easier.
So, when Li Jiangyao was about to graduate, he proposed to his two friends that he wanted to serve in Western Xinjiang. For this surprising decision, the reason he gave Xu Youchang and Murong Xue was: there was something wrong in Western Xinjiang.
Who would have thought that Xu Youchang and Murong Xue, these idiots, were born to be restless masters. When they saw uneven ground while walking, they would stretch out their feet and kick it twice, let alone such a big event as something happened in Western Xinjiang.
