Part 2, Chapter 5, Could it be the king's official 2
[69 Book Bar-www.] Passing through the two provinces of Yizhi and Qilian, you will enter Fangyang Province. The two provinces of Yizhi and Qilian have always been depressed and broken, and the government of Yizhi Province can only be ranked at most five in the empire.
After ten, Qilian Province could not even rank the government of the province, and it was less than a few small towns in rich provinces. The population of the two provinces was not as large as that of Tianshui Province. However, because of the repeated defeats, many of them were killed.
The residents who were originally scattered in Tianshui Province fled across the river, and the population of these two provinces also increased. We often saw some villages living together. Because they had not lived for a long time, the officials of the empire had no time to take care of those people on these barren lands.
Rest and recuperate, you will be happy.
When the convoy passed by those villages, some children ran out to follow us. Just like weeds on the wilderness, even if they were burned to ashes by wildfires, they would still grow all over the mountains when spring came, and these children would also
Growing from generation to generation. They may not know the cruelty of war. In their eyes, we warriors riding horses and holding weapons are really a scenic spot worthy of admiration.
In more than a decade, these children may also hold weapons in their hands to kill. At that time, they will know the horror of war.
Entering Fangyang Province, everything around it seems to have changed into a secondary scene. Fangyang Province is close to the imperial capital, and its prefecture is only two hundred miles apart from the imperial capital Wuyun City. It is also one of the twelve cities. It has always had the "Gate of the Imperial Capital".
"It is known that there are more than 10,000 troops stationed here, and the guard is the governor of Fangyang Province Chang'an Bo Tu Fang. Although Tu Fang is not a famous general, his family has been favored by the emperor for three generations. He himself is also the prince consort of the late emperor and is considered a relative of the foreign country.
The Emperor asked him to defend the capital, so he was relieved.
After meeting Tu Fang, we rested in Beining City for a day and set off again. Now we are only two days away from the imperial capital at most. By this time, we can no longer worry about anything. Tang Kai, who had been trembling along the way
He also smiled. I guess this trip to pay tribute will go smoothly and he will be promoted after he returns.
Beining City is located between two mountains, built between mountains, just like a huge lock that locks the gate. After passing Beining City, there is a flat mountain, and the two hundred miles of thoroughfare is very fast. Along the way, there are both sides of the official road.
Lush weeds have also grown, spreading across the wilderness like wildfire, boundless, like the sea.
Wu Wanling and I were riding a horse at the end, and our mood gradually became relaxed. Xue Wenyi's injury was healing. He lifted the curtain and looked outside, and said a few words to Qin Yanchun from time to time, sitting on the side.
Zhang Longyou was very embarrassed. I didn’t find it funny when I met outside. However, the car she was in had not opened the curtains.
This time the Western Prefecture Army paid tribute was quite grand. The tribute envoy was also divided into two civil and military personnel. The tribute envoy Jiao Wenyu had already come out to take a walk from time to time. Since Zeng Wanggu attacked, he has been hiding in the car and has only had time to rest.
I just came out, probably not yet got rid of the fear brought by Zeng Wanggu's attack.
After another day of travel, someone suddenly started to make a noise in front of me, and I said, "What's wrong?"
From the car, Zhang Longyou shouted: "Imperial Capital! General Chu, Wuyun City has arrived!"
He stood in the car, pointing to the front and shouting with joy, looking at me. I stretched my neck and looked into it. In the distance, among the green mountains in the area, a tower spire was half hidden and half exposed, and a golden light was emitting from it.
.
That was the suburbs of Huabiao Mountain. Huabiao Mountain is located in the western suburbs of Wuyun City. You can see the Xiaotian Tower. Wuyun City is only ten or twenty miles away. I was delighted and said, "That's it! General Wu, General Wu, was only a few hundred and twenty miles away.
,We're back!"
Wu Wanling was also very happy and said, "Yes, commander, we are back!"
The Western Prefecture Army probably had never seen such a tall building. I heard them all exclaiming. Yama Dawu was closest to us, and he was opening his mouth, as if he didn't believe in his eyes. I patted the horse and walked forward.
He said: "Brother Dawu, the imperial capital has arrived!"
Yemo Dawu turned his head and said, "General Chu, I only saw people writing about the sky tower in the suburbs in the sky. I originally thought that it was just about the same height as the Wangjiang Pavilion in Fuduan City. I didn't expect that there was such a thing.
Wait for the High Court!”
I smiled slightly. I used to seeing the suburbs of heaven before, but I didn't think it was very high. But after Xue Wenyi talked about Lu Xizi, I felt that the tower was indeed high. I said, "Is there any architecture in the imperial capital?
Young master is magnificent. Brother Dawu is free, so I will take you to visit."
At this time, a woman's voice came from behind and said, "General Chu, is there a Xiangyun Temple in Wuyun City?"
That was the voice of the woman who was very good to Zhang Longyou. This streaming sight was definitely what Zhang Longyou told her. I turned my head and smiled and said, "Yes, that is the city of Master Tianji's Qingjing. The sighting will be opened on the 15th day of every month.
Let people enter the incense. I heard that this view has ninety-nine and a half rooms, and it is the largest house except the Forbidden Palace.”
She was sitting next to the woman talking, looking at the suburbs in the distance. When I heard me, she turned her eyes and smiled slightly at me. Her smile was as bright as spring flowers, bright and indifferent as my heart
A warm feeling surged up and said, "Xiangyun Temple is the place of the Dharma. Mr. Zhang must be very familiar with it..."
Before I finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted in front of me: "It's a wild boar! It's a wild boar!"
In the chaos, a sound came from the roadside, a wild boar rushed out of the grass, and several Western government troops were chasing them. The wild boar was in a panic and rushed towards her car. I took off my long gun.
With a blow of horses, he stopped the wild boar, concentrated his mind and stabbed the wild boar with a shot.
If a wild boar is elder, it will be no less ferocious than a rat and tiger. But this wild boar is only a little over one year old, and its fur is still very loose, not like an old wild boar, which is often stuck with resin sand and soil to the same armor. I think
After the wild boar came from, he stabbed it with a shot, and the tip of the gun was pierced into the wild boar's neck. As soon as the gun entered the body, the wild boar screamed and struggled desperately, but it had been pierced by my spear, so where could it still be fought.
Have to take off? It was dying and its strength was very strong. I took the horse around and took it a few turns and picked it up suddenly. The wild boar was picked up by me and slid out of the tip of the gun and fell down
There was no more anger on the ground.
A Xifu army ran very fast and had already arrived at the side of the wild boar. He bent down from his horse and grabbed the wild boar, and smiled and said, "General Chu is good at it. Today we have to eat roast pork."
I also smiled and said, "When I arrived at the imperial capital, I still care about this wild boar. There are so many delicious foods in the winery."
The wild boar is also 60 or 70 kilograms. He grabbed it with one hand and was very strong as if nothing had happened. He grabbed the wild boar and placed it on the horse's back, and said with a "huh": "What, it turns out that this beast has been shot into an arrow.
Now?"
The wild boar was hit by an arrow on the back of the buttocks, no wonder he ran into our queue. But the arrow was not very deep, and the wild boar ran for a while, for fear that the arrow would fall off by itself. The man pulled out the arrow with him
He looked at it and said, "What a beautiful arrow, who shot it?"
As he was talking, someone suddenly shouted loudly from the front: "What are you? How dare you rob our young master's prey?"
We all stopped. The caller was a middle-aged man in a short suit, as if he was a follower. He spoke very rudely, and I felt uncomfortable after hearing this. Tang Kaizhao immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother, I'll wait."
He was the tribute envoy of the Xifu Army of Tianshui Province who came to pay tribute to the emperor."
The man curled his lips and said, "It's the place in Tianshui? Are you an official? Why are you so uneducated?"
Not far from him, there were five or six people standing on horseback. One of them was a pretty gorgeous boy. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old. It was probably the young master from which family went out for spring hunting. I suddenly realized that the wild pig was
I'm afraid that I would run around after being hit by the boy's arrow, and I picked it up for a bargain. But the boy's arrow could not kill the wild boar. If I hadn't intercepted him, how could the wild boar and the others catch up?
Tang Kai was also a little angry and said, "Brother, we really don't know that the wild boar is the prey of the noble son. Wei Yuehao, return the prey to this brother."
The Xifu Army named Wei Yuehao rushed forward and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry, we don't know that you wild boar are coming. Here, I'll give it to you."
He had already stabbed again in his words, and after he said that, he threw the wild boar at the man. Wei Yuehao's arm strength was amazing, and the pig was 60 or 70 kilograms. Where did that man have his divine power? Seeing the wild boar throwing it over, he didn't know it.
At least he was about to pick it up, and the wild boar hit his horse's back. The horse was immediately shocked and stood up. The man's figure swayed and fell off the horse.
The soldiers in the Western Prefecture Army all laughed. In terms of height, Wei Yuehao was not tall. When the man saw him holding the wild boar with one hand, he only thought that the wild boar was not very worthwhile, so he ate a big meal.
Loss, his face turned red, and he turned over the horse, and the wild boar didn't want it anymore. He grabbed the whip and whipped Wei Yuehao. Wei Yuehao was not prepared at all. He was whipping his face, and his cheeks suddenly became red and swollen.
Yi. His face also changed and he shouted, "What are you doing to hit someone?"
The man said angrily: "I will kill you, the rotten embryos of the Western Prefecture Army!" After that, he whipped another whip. His strength was far less than Wei Yuehao, but a horse whip made it elusive. Wei Yuehao wanted to dodge it.
It couldn't dodge, and the whip hit him in the face again, and another red mark was made.
Wei Yuehao roared, took off his gun from his horse, and shouted: "Bastard! I shot you a transparent hole with one shot!"
Before he raised his gun, Tang Kai suddenly pulled out his spear, pressed Wei Yuehao's gun, and shouted: "Wei Yuehao, don't be rude!"
Wei Yuehao felt very aggrieved and said, "General Tang, look at him..."
