Chapter 609 Tombstone
There is a unique plain between the Central Plains and the northern border. Thousands of miles east are the boundless East China Sea; to the north, there is a vast northern border with rich resources; to the south, there is a vast and rich Central Plains. It is not only a hub for communicating north and south, but also a strategic location for storing the entire Zhongzhou continent.
Here, there is a megacity castle that is more than three times larger than Fuling. With this castle as the center, towns, forts and strongholds are scattered. From a distance, it surrounds this megacity castle in the middle like stars arching the moon.
This castle is nearly twenty meters high in the ancient city wall. It is said that the blue and white stone on the city wall has a long history than most famous cities. The towering city wall, the city gate that is nearly ten meters high, the moat that is a hundred meters wide, and the dense soldiers on the top of the city all shocked people!
Beijing, Beiyuan!
After a flash of red light, Mu Feng and Li Niang came to the power center of the Tongtian Dynasty and came to this famous city that was powerful in the land of the Central State.
The ancient teleportation array is extremely convenient and can quickly shuttle back and forth in major historical cities; however, every time it is activated, it costs a lot of crystals and requires a large amount of remuneration. I don’t know what ordinary civilians can enjoy. Before the red light has subsided, a team of soldiers guarding the teleportation array come over; just as they are about to collect the remuneration as usual, they see Li Niang wearing the outfit of a Tianwei, her face changes and she quickly retreats respectfully.
According to the laws of the Tongtian Dynasty, all Tongtianwei can use the ancient teleportation arrays from all over the country for free when going out for business. In case of emergency, they can even requisition or ancient teleportation arrays.
"Why save me?"
After appearing in the capital, Li Niang didn't even look at the many respectful guards, and looked straight at Mu Feng, as if no one was around.
The moment the flying sword formation was covered, she thought she was dead. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, she was rescued by Mu Feng, who had always been wary of her and even murderous.
"Your mission has not been completed yet, take me to see Emperor Tongtian." Mu Feng's face was calm and he continued coldly, "From now on, you and I will not violate the river. If you use any conspiracy, I will not mind killing you!"
"It is said that scholars are passionate, Master Mufeng, why are you so heartless? Is Li Niang really so annoying?"
Li Niang sighed quietly, looking pitiful. Unfortunately, Mu Feng was unmoved at all, his face was calm, without any change.
Seeing that he was not good at it, Li Niang had to grit her teeth and turn away in disappointment. She asked many guards for two fast horses and ran away. Even in the capital, the emperor was running wildly at the feet of the emperor without any scruples. Seeing her outfit as a guard, the pedestrians hid aside from a distance.
"Awesome, who is that man?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it before! However, if the man doesn't know him, the woman has a little impression. It seems... it seems that he was a Tongtianwei commander who was transferred from southern Xinjiang to the capital not long ago and was appointed as the Marquis of Wanhu?"
"What, a commander of the Tongtian Guard? He was so humble, but he was regarded as non-existent by others. Who was that young man in a scholarly outfit?"
"That's right, could it be a royal relative, or a hidden master?"
...
After Li Niang and Mu Feng left one after another, the soldiers who were guarding the ancient teleportation array whispered, shocked one by one.
Who is Tongtianwei?
Even in the eyes of dignitaries, it is a force that cannot be easily provoked. A mere Tongtian Guard has an extraordinary identity. The Wanhu Marquis in Tongtian Guard is even more amazing. Even the third-rank officials of the court have to avoid it when they see it. Such a Wanhu Marquis, whose status, status and power are extraordinary, are not in Mu Feng's eyes at all. In addition to shocking, his identity naturally makes people curious!
Some people say that he is a top master at the peak of the real person realm, a strong man invited by Tongtianwei to join the worship hall; some people say that he is a royal relative who is usually low-key and has an extraordinary secret identity; some people say that he is a prince of an overseas island country, who came to the capital of Tongtian Dynasty to pay tribute... Soon, all kinds of rumors spread, and the more they spread, the more outrageous it became.
Under the leadership of Li Niang, Mu Feng came to a quiet villa and stayed temporarily, waiting for the summoning of Emperor Tongtian.
This villa is somewhat similar to Zhuji Lane in Jiangling City. It is surrounded by either dignitaries or wealthy merchants who are rich and wealthy. There are no white men and idle people who can get close to each other. Inside and outside the villa, in addition to many servants, there are also a large group of Tongtian Guards guarding, which is even more impossible for ordinary people to get closer. Living here is called preferential treatment, but in fact, it is similar to house arrest. There are a team of Tongtian Guards following you wherever you go. On the one hand, you are worried that someone will assassinate it, which will be detrimental to Mufeng; on the other hand, you are worried that Mufeng will suddenly leave without saying goodbye and cannot explain it to the higher authorities.
Mu Feng felt as clear as a mirror about Li Niang's thoughts, and she didn't make things difficult for her. She waited quietly. Either she sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate, or she quietly read the books in the other courtyard, grinding ink from time to time, writing a few articles by herself, and life was free and easy. Time flickered, and seven days passed.
On that day, when sorting out the collection of books in the other courtyard, I accidentally found a very interesting book "Tombstone Chronicle".
“One day, I died.
Some people gloat about their misfortune, some people live as usual,
Who will shed a tear for me?
That day, I was buried in the soil.
Someone walked past, and the carriages flattened my grave.
Who is still crying for me?
That year, my bones began to rot.
The grave was covered with weeds, and the tombstones had been weathered.
My former friend can no longer remember my name, and the people who hate me have forgotten me,
Who is it, still haggard for me?
…”
The thin brochure pages are yellowed, obviously they are old.
On the cover, except for the three vague big characters in "Tombstone", the author's signature is already blurred and can no longer be identified.
The article is not long, but after reading it all the way, it is graceful and gentle, with a faint sadness; careful savoring it also contains the philosophy of life, which makes people feel touched.
"Tombstone, after I die, who will erect a tombstone for me, who... will shed tears for me?"
Mu Feng murmured to himself, holding a pen to write a line of words on the white paper.
The voices, appearances and smiles of relatives and friends appeared in my mind, and finally it was frozen on my mother's face. My father, whom I had never seen before, also appeared in my mind, and then I remembered the letter he left behind.
"In late autumn, it is a time to climb a mountain to sweep the grave. It is rare to come to the capital once. It is time to see my father's grave!"
