The shopkeeper's eyes were complicated, "Both of your novels are about to go viral among us. It's a pity..."
He was very sorry, "We in Chengdu County don't have a bookstore that has your approval for printing. The Dengke Bookstore in Tanzhou is too far away from us. Finally, the newly opened Dengke Bookstore in Kuizhou gave us a sign of sufficient supply. This
The original text of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" suddenly disappeared, and Dengke Bookshop also closed its doors."
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper looked at Lu Fang cautiously and said, "Your Highness, I am too talkative. Could something have happened?"
"well……"
A look of worry appeared in Lu Fang's eyes, "I don't know either."
He still hasn't revealed his relationship with Xu Zhen.
Although even a few words with the shopkeeper of Jing Wenzhai should not affect Xu Zhen, but sometimes there are some unintentional troubles, often because of the inability to control his mouth.
The old shopkeeper nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Then watching Lu Fang leave the study just like that, I still felt a little dizzy.
He is just an ordinary businessman.
Lu Fang actually came to his study in person, which already surprised him.
And Lu Fang was actually a "Julang layman", which was even more incredible to him.
I originally thought that Juro Juji was either an old man or a talented scholar. Logically speaking, His Highness Seventeenth Prince should not have the heart to do this.
After finally coming back to his senses, the old shopkeeper hurriedly ran back to the counter and carefully looked at the paper manuscript Lu Fang left here.
…
Northwest of Dayu, Qingxing County.
The terrain in the county is complex, including deserts, Gobis, grasslands, mountains, rainforests, etc., but overall it is relatively barren.
However, it is also a transportation and commercial artery to the northwest of Dayu.
At the same time, it is of course an important military location.
As the northwest border county of Dayu, Qingxing County's economy and people's livelihood are not outstanding. It is even quite backward in the north, let alone compared with the coastal counties in the south.
However, the territory of Qingxing County is the largest among the counties in Dayu.
It is larger than two ordinary counties.
Qingxing County also has the largest number of Imperial Guards among all counties.
There may be several counties where the total number of imperial guards is more than enough.
Two hundred thousand!
The Northwest Forbidden Army has 200,000 troops, all of which are stationed in Qingxing County.
Since the founding of Dayu, these 200,000 northwest forbidden troops have been the most important shield for the Dayu court to resist the cavalry of Daliao, Tiemeng and other countries.
Although Liang Shi led the Forbidden Army to suppress Chengdu County more than ten years ago, which caused a lot of discussion in the world and became an indelible stain on the Northwest Forbidden Army, we have to admit that even now, the Northwest Forbidden Army is still the leader of the northwest of Da Yu.
's patron saint.
If it weren't for this heroic army stationed in Qingxing County, countless people in the land thousands of miles northwest of Dayu would be uneasy.
And such a place has naturally become the best place for noble disciples in Kyoto and other places to become gilded.
After all, as long as you spend some time in the Northwest Forbidden Army, you can hold your head high when you return and say that I served as a soldier in the most powerful army in Dayu and the most difficult conditions.
Even in fact, among the so-called 200,000 forbidden troops stationed in the northwest, there are actually less than 50,000 soldiers who are actually blocking the forefront.
These 50,000 people are truly the veterans of the Northwest Army.
He is also a person in the Northwest Army who has truly suffered great hardships and seen great scenes.
The wind gate is closed.
A pass across the road from Qingxing County to Daliao Kingdom.
The entire pass is made of loess and stones, but the original color has long been lost.
The exterior wall is a deep color that is almost black.
At this moment, under this black earth wall several feet high, there were more than a dozen soldiers wearing soft armor sitting.
They are all scouts.
The man in the middle looked to be in his forties, with a thin body, unattractive facial features, and eyes that seemed dull, but in fact there were occasional sparkles.
Although these scouts were just sitting around, looking at their orientation, they seemed to be centered on this person.
"Boss."
On the left side of the man is a young man with rather handsome features. His face is obviously fairer than the other scouts, and has not been tanned to the point of being shiny.
He was holding a piece of grass in his mouth, with a stick that seemed to be dangling at the root, and sniffed, "Are these city walls behind our Fengmen gate really soaked in blood like this?"
"Not really."
In fact, he is only five years older than this handsome young man, but he has been in the Northwest Forbidden Army for eight years. The scout leader said, "It's mainly because of the wind."
The young man smashed his mouth and said, "Let me tell you, how could it be soaked in blood? If it is all blood, how many people will die?"
"How many people do you think were killed by this storm?"
The captain suddenly chuckled.
He didn't like this young man from Kyoto very much.
When did Fengmenguan become a place where these guys could get gold plating?
Although this boy named Zhai Yangzhou is the son of Wu'an Hou, who was also a fierce general in those days, it does not necessarily mean that his son can be as fierce as me.
The soldiers at Fengmenguan never thought that they could be on the same side as those noble disciples who were pampered in Kyoto, nor did they ever think about becoming a group in the past.
Naturally, he did not want such a noble disciple to be placed under him.
Fortunately, after Zhai Yangzhou was placed in this scout team, he was neither domineering nor able to endure hardships, so the captain was willing to pay attention to him.
But it's just limited to talking to each other, being intimate is absolutely out of the question.
"How many?"
Zhai Yangzhou asked.
He blinked his eyes and looked harmless, which was completely different from the domineering look he had when he faced Lu Fang and others in Kyoto.
"On top of this city and inside the pass alone, there are at least a hundred thousand innocent souls buried."
The captain pointed to his head and curled his lips.
Then he pointed to the north, "As for the outside, there are countless of them. Oh, if it wasn't sand down here, but mud, the blood that had flowed on this ground over the years would have formed a fucking river."
To the north of Fengmen Pass is a canyon artery that is more than ten kilometers long.
If the Liao soldiers want to enter Dayu, unless they take a very far detour, the main canyon road and the final Fengmenguang will be the battlegrounds.
In the past, when Liao soldiers entered Dayu to fight the autumn wind, they would never choose to go south from here.
The few times that Fengmen Pass was taken by force, without exception, large armies pressed into the territory.
Therefore, although Fengmenguan has not experienced many wars, they have all been big and tough battles.
There were naturally countless casualties.
"Tsk."
When Zhai Yangzhou heard this, he smashed his mouth and said, "It's a pity that those guys from the Liao Kingdom dare to keep attacking over there, but they don't dare to attack. Otherwise, I will definitely let them see how powerful they are."
"hehe."
When he said these words, the people around him couldn't help but sneer and disapprove.
"You'd better not feel sorry."
The captain said: "If we really come here to kill you, I'm afraid you'll wet your pants. Don't think that if you just go out for a few walks with us, it will be a big deal."
