This city is also a prosperous place in Dongjun. It is not far from the river and merchants are prospering. With the construction of Chidao and important roads, the place is even more lively.
Wealth and goods come and go in a place of grace and elegance.
Drunken Dream Tower.
It has only appeared in the city for a few years, but... it is well-known, and many rich and powerful people visit it and praise it.
Here, you can enjoy the rare music and dance in Zhuxia.
The music and dance of Zhao State in the past.
Music and dance of the Wei Kingdom in the past.
Korean music and dance in the past.
Even the music and dance of Chu and Yan can be seen at a glance, although they have changed their appearance and are not the same as in the past.
However... there are many people who know the goods.
A small place with such rich heritage has led to speculation about the background of Zuimeng Tower. It is said that... this place was admired by Tongwuhou Wang Benduoyou.
He once invited the oiran army from Zuimenglou to perform a dance.
It is not known whether the news is true or false. It must have been groundless. For a moment... Zuimeng Tower became even more extraordinary. As night fell, there was already endless singing, dancing and joyful sounds.
The building is four stories high. In the summer, it is surrounded by greenery, and the red gauze doors and windows are swaying. Along with the special spices from Zuimenglou, it is fluttering in all directions, which is heart-stirring.
"There is news from Mr. Fan, it's time for me to leave."
"I'm afraid it will take a long time before I can come back. Let's just pretend that there is no big deal here in Zuimenglou."
An elegant room on the fourth floor.
Here, compared with the first and second floors, where guests are constantly coming and going, it is much quieter.
A figure stood by the window, looking at the boundless land behind Zuimeng Tower. The view of the courtyard was wide, and the entire Zhen City could be seen at a glance.
The Golden Crow has gone away, and most of the city has fallen into darkness. The curfew time has come, but there are still some places that are brightly lit.
"Aren't you ready to wait any longer?"
"There is news from the farmer's house that the matter in Langya County is not over yet."
"What if it works?"
"If it succeeds, you don't have to go."
The words are charming and the tone is soft.
"Ying Zheng!"
"He was extraordinary."
"Although I also want things to work out in Langya County, but...now that Mr. Fan has received this news, some results are already determined."
"In the past, when the other countries were still there, Qin was not in trouble, and Yingzheng was even more unimpeded. Now... some things are even more difficult."
"He drove thousands of miles eastward and responded to all kinds of problems."
"Over the past few years, some things have been decided among Zhu Xia. I want to see the land of Jizi North Korea outside the Great Wall."
The man near the window shook his head.
The words were mixed with a different kind of regret. It is true that the news from Langya County has not yet come, but... I believe what Mr. Fan means more.
It’s better to prepare for some things in advance.
I heard that Ye Teng from Yandi was already restless and began to prepare to launch troops outside the Liaodong Great Wall, which would be a great threat to Jizi North Korea.
"Ever since the incident at Shennongtang, this place has become much calmer."
"Almost nothing big happens."
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
"Besides, you should be worried about Lian Yi. In recent months, she can have an extra flower protector by her side."
"She is also very handsome, especially with a good background."
"If you go to Jizi North Korea, what if..."
Regarding the matter in Langya County, the woman did not say much.
He was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing his black hair, playing with hair accessories, scanning his face in the bronze mirror, and smiling slightly.
He glanced at the man in front of the window again and said something meaningful.
"..."
"He is from Qin."
The man pondered slightly.
"People from Qin?"
"You."
"I don't understand women."
"If you are determined, stay in Zhuxia."
Hearing this, the woman shook her head.
Some things... have nothing to do with people from Qin or Chu. Maybe... right now, because that person is from Qin, Lian Yi doesn't have a good impression of him.
What next?
time.
years.
is the greatest strength.
"..."
"Something I have to do."
"It's not only for her, but also for Chu State."
The man by the window pondered again.
He looked back at the woman, faced her half-smiling expression, sighed, and shook his head. He didn't have many choices.
"..."
"What if you regret it in the future?"
the woman asked back.
"I……."
"I may regret it, but she will be fine throughout her life, and I can explain it to the late king."
"I will finish the Jizi North Korea matter as soon as possible."
The man was speechless.
After taking a breath, he spoke again.
"I didn't expect you to have such a heart."
"Instead of that, why not stay now?"
The woman asked again.
"I……."
"Chu State, Chu State needs my meager strength."
"She's a princess."
"I need to be strong enough to protect her."
"No matter what happens in the future, I should do that."
"I don't want to live in Qin's world even for a long time."
"I'll be back as soon as possible."
"I'll be back."
Most of the men's voices were affirmative and firm. They raised one hand, clenched their fists tightly, and fell silent. The subsequent voices of the women in the room were not heard.
Stretching out his fist, a golden peony glowed in the palm of his hand.
"This is my promise!"
With a wave of his hand, Peony flew behind him, jumped up, and flew away from the wooden window.
"..."
"Living is the greatest commitment."
The woman stretched out her hand to catch the golden peony, looked at the familiar golden peony, and then looked at the disappearing figure in front of the window.
He murmured softly and stood up.
…
…
"How dare you appear in front of me."
"My courage has grown a lot."
"If it had been before, you would have been captured and killed by me."
"A remnant of Chu State, given your status, this fine head of yours... the empire needs it very much."
Dressed in white, with hundreds of millions of stars above his head, he stood on the eaves, facing the cool breeze, and did not waver the corners of his clothes.
Playing with a white feather in his hand and looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, he... became bolder.
For months, he had been hiding from himself.
He knows his existence.
But I have never dared to stand here head on.
Now...do you have the guts?
"What on earth are you doing here?"
Under the starlight, a faintly visible light blue brocade gown was swaying in the wind. His long black hair was neatly combed into a crown. He held a long sword in his hand and looked at the man in white a few feet away.
The man is tall and handsome, and he is leaving tonight.
After all, there are some people and things that I can’t worry about.
"you guess?"
The man in white smiled.
As he said that, his eyes turned and landed on a nearby Accord, which was located at the highest point on the east side of Zuimeng Tower.
Only the oiran with the most beautiful dancing and dancing can stay.
The people in front of me are the remnants of the Chu Kingdom.
If it hadn't been for the order of the prince, he would have been captured long ago, along with the people from Zuimenglou. There were quite a few remnants of the peasant family inside.
Otherwise.
There hasn't been much movement from them in the past few months.
Jibu!
When the Chu State fell, who would have thought that the important people of the Chu State who were on the arrest list would stay here forever?
Lianyi!
Mi Lian!
The daughter of Lord Changping.
The intention of the prince... Although it is good, unfortunately, I don't have that intention. It is still okay to protect one or two here.
Does it make this person think that he has other thoughts?
It doesn't seem to be any fun.
"..."
"Don't hurt her!"
Ji Bu held the sword tightly. If he could...he would have killed this man with his sword, but...he knew the identity of this man.
In the past, Korea was like a bird of prey at night.
Later, he joined the army of Wuzhen Commandery and Marquis of the Qin State and was highly valued. His martial arts training was very impressive, and he even... achieved the state of enlightenment and return.
I haven't even set foot on becoming a god.
"You leaving her is the greatest and best protection."
"She will be safer."
"Do you really think that the Lord Commander is not aware of some of the things you are plotting? How can Jizi North Korea accomplish anything just outside the Great Wall?"
"Compared to the stability of the counties under the empire's control, your waiting is nothing."
"she!"
"The farther away you are from her, the safer she will be."
Bai Feng looked at the former leader of the Chu Kingdom's Shadow Tiger Army coldly. He wanted to protect Lord Changping's daughter, but...his actions would only bring endless trouble.
"..."
"I heard that the Marquis of Wuzhen County had a good relationship with Lord Changping in the past."
"I can roughly guess the reason for your visit."
"With you here, I... feel at ease."
Heard this.
Ji Bu frowned weakly and looked at this person.
Protecting the princess was an order given to me by the late king, so for many years, I have been walking by her side.
Danger.
She also has her sister, some people from the farm family, and some people from Chu State with her. She will be fine.
From what he said, the Qin State also knew about Jizi North Korea? I wonder what trouble there will be next.
"I feel at ease if you leave here."
Bai Feng cannot deny it.
******
"Mirage!"
"At noon, we can officially start heading east."
"Uncle, after walking two thousand miles in the mirage, do Xi'er and I really want to leave the mirage?"
"How can you stay with your uncle all the time on the river?"
"I have also asked Master in the past few days about how far away the Immortal Mountain in the Sea is, but Master doesn't know."
"I wanted to ask His Excellency Donghuang, but he went into seclusion."
"Really."
"Uncle, how far do you think the mirage will travel into the depths of the sea? If it is only four to five thousand miles, Xi'er and I can see it."
"That's the fairy mountain in the sea."
"Xi'er, what do you think?"
Not long after the morning sun rose, the sun shone brightly.
In the eastern sky, there are thick clouds, and golden rays of light shine from the depths, falling on the endless sea, reflecting billions of pieces of golden light.
Standing at the highest point of the mirage, from the attic of the Fuso Temple, you can look down and see everything in the distance with incomparable clarity.
With his magical power running, his purple eyes flashing, Zhou Qing looked intently, taking in a panoramic view of the sea area of dozens of miles around, and even a glimpse further away.
This morning!
After having breakfast at the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, he came to the Mirage with Yan Ling.
Xiaomeng was accompanying the emperor's brother in his car early in the morning.
The three of Xueer are about to give birth to a child.
Flame Spirit is the most suitable.
Just like what Yang Zi, who was chattering next to me, said, at noon, the mirage will really set sail and truly go to the depths of the sea.
Looking at the land from here, Langyatai is vaguely visible.
Langya County is also far away.
The imperial brother has already explained the matter about the mirage.
More than ten years!
The mirage is finally about to set off.
The fairy mountain in the sea, its true appearance... Zhou Qing was looking forward to it with great anticipation.
"Two thousand miles!"
"It's far enough."
"This time the mirage travels eastward. If you find a fairy mountain in the sea, my uncle will take you there in person."
"The same goes for Xi'er."
“On the river!”
"This time the mirage traveled eastward, it was a spiritual practice for him."
"You two little guys... you think it's fun to be on the mirage now. When the mirage actually walks in the sea, you will know... the sea is no joke."
The little guy Yangzi was bargaining with himself again.
Zhou Qing smiled and patted Yang Zi's little head. Some things were not as simple as Yang Zi thought, and then nodded Xi'er again.
He is also a troublemaker.
"Uncle, I can also practice."
Yangzi snorted softly.
I am so much older than the river. I can go on the river. Why can’t I continue to go?
"You have been away from Xianyang for a long time this time. Don't you miss your mother?"
"Uncle promises you that he will definitely take you to visit the fairy mountains in the sea in the future."
Zhou Qing smiled.
"Mother?"
"Alas...my mother is currently taking care of my younger siblings and has no time to pay attention to me."
"Besides, I'm already so old."
"Uncle, is there really danger in the depths of the sea?"
"Master said that uncle, you are at the top of the list with your own strength. There are almost no people in the world who can threaten you."
Mother?
The mother of Xianyang Palace.
Yang Zi tilted his head and scanned the far west of the land, where Xianyang in Guanzhong is located. His mother should miss him.
But... my mother's thoughts are now focused on brother Tai'er and the others, so it won't hurt if she leaves for a while.
Uncle really is.
"The world is big and there are many dangerous things."
"In the depths of the sea, surging waves of hundreds or hundreds of feet may threaten mirages."
"There are also strange beasts in the sea, and you have seen them too."
"The alien beasts close to the land may not be strong, but that may not be true deep in the sea."
The secrets of the deep sea.
There are many records about the Jinmu clan of the Western King.
The alien beasts there are very powerful. According to records, there are many who are ranked third level in the inner alchemy, and the alien beasts have extremely long lifespans.
It is certain that there must be such existence deep in the sea.
As for the realm of the king of alien beasts?
Hard to say.
In the records, Zhu Xia has not appeared in the past three generations, and there are no such records in the sea area, right?
Not sure either.
Sure enough, there is a king of strange beasts.
He is no match now.
"Fuso Sacred Tree!"
"It's home!"
"I really don't know what it's like there, uncle. I heard Master say... the Fuso Sacred Tree will take root in its homeland again."
"It's a pity that I won't return to Zhuxia in the future."
"That tree is very beautiful."
"If it grows in Xianyang Palace, it will be a great sight."
It seemed that...it was difficult for him to go to the sea two thousand miles away with the mirage. Yangzi lay helplessly on the edge of the attic window and looked at the huge mirage building in the distance.
It's like a palace with endless pavilions.
Looking from here... the Fusang Sacred Tree is also clear to the eye.
Under the bright sun, the hibiscus sacred tree was gleaming with golden light, and sometimes there was a three-legged golden crow walking among it.
Master has been practicing under the tree for many days.
"Father."
"Does the Fuso Sacred Tree have no seeds?"
"If there are seeds, can they grow in Xianyang Palace?"
Lying on the edge of the window with Sister Yangzi, shaking her little head, Xi'er also looked at the splendid mirage at the moment, and at the sacred hibiscus tree.
Since Master said it will not come back in the future, it would be good to have seeds.
"seed!"
"The Fuso Sacred Tree naturally has seeds, but... the seeds do great harm to the origin of the Fuso Sacred Tree."
"If possible in the future, I will intercept some of the roots from the Fuso Sacred Tree, and transform the roots into a new Fuso Sacred Tree... It doesn't seem that easy."
"That sacred hibiscus tree is thousands of years old."
"The lifespan of an ordinary person is no more than a hundred years."
"Xianyang Palace... is the most unsuitable place for the growth of the Fusang Sacred Tree."
"Let's go to Shushan!"
"In the future, my uncle will drop the seeds of the Fusang Sacred Tree in Shushan. You can all take a look when you are free."
seed!
The information about the Fusang Sacred Tree is recorded in detail in the classics of the Xi Wang Jinmu clan. After all... their clan has been in contact with this tree whether in ancient times or for thousands of years.
The seed is a rhizome of the hibiscus sacred tree.
Ordinary rhizomes are not enough. They must contain part of the origin of the Fuso Sacred Tree. Only in this way can they grow like the Fuso Sacred Tree.
Even so, if the roots of the Fusang Sacred Tree were allowed to grow on their own, the speed would be very slow without the help of spiritual liquid.
The Xi Wang Jinmu clan originally wanted to do something, but after thinking about it, the Fusang Sacred Tree was defective in origin and connected to the Shushan Formation, so they did not move.
Moreover, there are many natural and earthly treasures on Kunlun Mountain, many of which are not inferior to those of the Fusang Sacred Tree.
So, gave up.
To yourself?
If possible, it is not difficult to cultivate one.
"Shushan!"
"Uncle, isn't that where the Fuso Sacred Tree used to be?"
Yang Zi nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something again and turned to look at someone.
