Luo Xiang laughed: "You don't know me very well? You are joking, right? In my opinion, you should know me very well, right?"
"Sir, what do you mean by this? The little girl really doesn't understand." Qiu Mu said forcefully.
"There are no outsiders here, and girls don't need to hide. According to martial arts legends, there is a strange sect in the rivers and lakes, which specializes in recording some extraordinary things that happened in the government and the public and some people with great influence. Because this involves
Most of their affairs are very secretive, so they often travel around the world in various identities. If I guess correctly, the Master Sword Emperor Hua Mo Fang is the author of the secret history of China in the previous generation, right?"
"How do you know this, sir?" Qiu Mu said in surprise, already admitting the authenticity of Luo Xiang's words. On the other hand, Haotian, Tianyi, Xian Lianchen and Xuanji were all shocked. Only Bu arrived first.
It's a slight smile.
"I'm keeping this secret for the time being. I just have something to ask, and I hope that the girl can answer it seriously. The master asked you to come here, girl. Are you writing a secret history of the martial arts, a biography of a famous general, a mainstay, a wealthy businessman in hiding, or a literary talent?
A treacherous traitor?"
Qiu Mu looked at Luo Xiang's deep eyes. She didn't know why, but she always had the feeling that if she really dared to lie in front of this helpless old man, she would definitely die without a burial place. Even if
Neither the divination around her nor the name of her master could save her. She didn't understand why this old man knew so many secrets, but she knew very well that there was absolutely no way she could hide it from this old man.
She gritted her teeth and said, "None of them!"
Luo Xiang seemed to be relieved, and looked at each other with Bu Xianzhi, and then said: "I admire you for your great talent. Then please stay here, girl. I promise you that you will never let her down."
Haotian and others around him were all confused, but Qiu Mu just nodded gratefully after hearing this. As for what he was thinking in his heart, it was difficult to guess.
It was only then that Haotian remembered the purpose of Bu's visit, so he raised his hands and asked, "Master Bu is a distinguished guest of the empire. Why did you come to this humble residence today?"
"Distinguished guests of the empire?" Bu Xianzhi smiled bitterly, but this sentence still brought everyone back to reality. After a long sigh, he continued: "The empire hates Goryeo now. If it were not for the weakness of the will, I am afraid that
Even the big river can’t be crossed.”
"Sir, why did you say this?" Haotian asked strangely. Goryeo was one of the vassal states of the empire, and Bu Xianzhi was called the Holy Envoy of Goryeo. No one could surpass him in prestige in Goryeo.
Not to mention, several generations of Goryeo rulers were all his students. No matter what the reason was, Qingfeng should have some basic respect for him, right?
"Qingfeng's resentment towards Goryeo has been around for a long time. Although Goryeo is a vassal state of Qingfeng, since the rise of the Haixi Dynasty in Baishan and Heishui, Goryeo is no longer as obedient to Qingfeng as it used to be. The era of Emperor Wulie's resurgence was not so bad.
, but since the death of Emperor Wulie, the situation of Qingfeng has been deteriorating. However, the strength of the three countries outside the Great Wall has been growing day by day. Due to the pressure from Haixi, Goryeo stopped paying tribute to Qingfeng for a period of time. Because of this, about
Fifty years ago, the crown prince of Qingfeng was ordered to visit Goryeo. But no one expected that the crown prince would be mysteriously assassinated in the Goryeo palace. Emperor Honglie was naturally furious after losing his beloved son, so he did everything he could.
He personally led an army of 500,000 people out of Shanhaiguan eastward, preparing to conquer Goryeo. However, Emperor Honglie was eager for revenge, so the time he chose was not particularly appropriate. Moreover, as soon as the army left Shanhaiguan, it was attacked by the famous general Cassimbas.
and the siege of the Haixi army, almost the entire army was wiped out. Emperor Honglie was hit by three arrows and fled back to Qingfeng in embarrassment. Later, he died of arrow wounds. This period of shame and humiliation is all in the memory of the aging Qingfeng courtiers.
It was still deeply felt. The Qingfeng royal family felt it was a national humiliation. Later, although the King of Goryeo petitioned the court every year and was willing to pay tribute every year and be a vassal of Qingfeng forever, Qingfeng was forced by the situation and agreed. However, the hatred was still written down after all.
"Bu Xianzhi said slowly.
Haotian sneered in his heart, but out of personal respect for Bu Xianzhi, he said respectfully on the surface: "Master Bu, you are also a figure of that era. In your opinion, the crown prince was assassinated in the Goryeo Palace.
, is it really that there is no trace to be found? Moreover, as soon as the 500,000-strong army left Shanhaiguan, it was surrounded and annihilated by the coalition forces of Haixi and Beijing. Is it really that simple? Hao is a soldier, so it is very difficult.
I like to think about things from the perspective of a soldier. Although the Qingfeng Empire fifty years ago was no longer as powerful as it was under Emperor Wu Lie, it still had some foundation. And it seems that Marshal Tie Zhen Tie was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Military Region at that time.
, but right under his nose, half a million troops were wiped out. Master, do you think it is possible? And what role did the Goryeo Dynasty play in this?"
Bu Xian was silent for a while. He was facing his old friend just now, so he could still talk and laugh, but now he represents the Goryeo royal family, so every word is related to the positions of both parties, so he must be careful and organized.
Speaking of language, Bu Xianzhi said: "The assassination of the crown prince was indeed the negligence of the Goryeo royal family. However, facing the unprecedented pressure from Emperor Hongyeol's army and the impending destruction of the country and the family, some extraordinary measures were used.
The means are reasonable."
Although Haotian is a very affectionate person, he is not a fool. He will not believe the high-sounding diplomatic rhetoric of Bu Xianzhi. Although he does not know the truth of history, there must be Goryeo ambitions in it. But he
He did not continue speaking, but waited for Bu Xianzhi's next words.
Bu Xianzhi paused and then said: "In the decades after this incident, Goryeo and Qingfeng were able to live in harmony. Although there was still a little friction outside Shanhaiguan, peace was still the mainstay.
.But things changed dramatically last year. At that time, when King Haiwu of our country was in power, the three countries outside the Great Wall broke through Juyongguan, an important pass on the Great Wall defense line in one fell swoop. And our country took advantage of the Shanhaiguan garrison's low vigilance to seize the opportunity.
Passed through Shanhaiguan, causing Qingfeng's army in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to fall into a desperate situation. Although both Qingfeng and our country knew this matter well, they both tacitly covered it up. But how can such hatred be a cover-up?
Can it be resolved?"
Hearing this, Haotian, Tianyi and others opened their mouths. He had always thought that the fall of the Sixteenth Province of Youyun was just a simple coalition of the three countries outside the Great Wall, but he did not expect that Gao Li was behind it.
But now he finally understood the reason why Li Xiaomo said that the reason for the fall of Shanhaiguan would be known in the future. After calming down his mind, Haotian said: "Why didn't we hear about such a big thing?"
"That's because as soon as the Goryeo army occupied Shanhaiguan, a coup occurred in the country. I, Wang Jianwu, King Fu Jianglin, ascended the throne and immediately recalled the Shanhaiguan army and surrendered. At this time, Qingfeng was obviously unwilling to continue the stalemate with our country, so all
That’s why I acquiesced to this matter.”
"Goryeo coup?" Haotian said in surprise. Although he is now sitting on the ground and establishing a government, his rise has only occurred in these few months. His attention is basically focused on the Three Kingdoms Beyond the Wall and the Qingfeng Empire.
, so I didn’t know anything about the remote Goryeo.
Bu Xianzhi sighed: "This is why I took the risk to come to Qingfeng this time. Frankly speaking, since what happened in Shanhaiguan, I really don't want to set foot on Qingfeng's land unless I have to. This is not the case.
I am afraid that someone will be unfavorable to me, but I really don’t have the face to face my old friends. As a member of the Goryeo people, I, like most Goryeo people, do not want to go against Qingfeng. Our Goryeo Dynasty, regardless of humanities and customs
Everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation are all in the same vein as Qingfeng. As a more discerning person among the people of Goryeo, I naturally understand the strength and potential of the Shenzhou Dynasty. Even though he is weak now, he is after all an unparalleled behemoth. Once he recovers,
When we are angry, it must be the time when we are in disaster. But King Haemu does not understand this truth. He has been committed to establishing a large and powerful Goryeo Dynasty. But he himself does not understand that the current situation in Goryeo is like
A strong little ant, and Qingfeng is like a sleeping tiger. Although you can take advantage for a while, you will definitely lose in the end."
Haotian said with enlightenment: "So you launched a coup and ousted him from power?"
"That's right!" Bu Xianzhi nodded: "The best way to exterminate a nation is massacre. However, China is too huge. Even with the combined efforts of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms and Goryeo, the population is less than half of Qingfeng. Moreover, China
Talents have always emerged in large numbers, especially in desperate times, there will always be a generation of geniuses born out of nowhere. If King Haemu is allowed to continue like this, he will only be playing with fire and burning himself. And the entire Goryeo nation will also be buried with him. As a national teacher, I will definitely
We can't tolerate his behavior. So in desperation, I launched a coup with King Geonmu, completely eradicating King Haemu's line, and the Goryeo army also returned to the country."
