Someone in Xiangshi Junior High School has been paying attention to Huwa's movements, but for more than three months, he has been following Cang Sha in the hunting garden. Others did not dare to disturb or even follow him. Until Cang Sha took him with him
Hougang left the hunting garden and headed north, reportedly heading to Shanshui City, but Huwa headed south alone. This news soon spread to the capital and the Changchang clan.
In fact, the monarch was also very curious about Huwa's identity. Such a young gentleman suddenly appeared in the middle school, and such a series of things happened around him. Without clarifying the origin of this person, even the monarch felt a little uneasy.
.However, Cangsha took Huwa with him and made it clear that he did not want others to disturb him, so the monarch could not directly send someone to inquire.
Besides, no one could fault Huwa for any mistakes, and there was no reason to press him. In fact, it was not easy to offend such a young monk who obviously had an extraordinary background. Who knew what kind of elders and power he had behind him?
On this day, the monarch called Mr. Caifeng Xiling to talk about the little gentleman. Although Xiling had never seen Huwa, he had just been to Feihong City and knew what Huwa was doing there. He also asked
He met many people who had seen the tiger baby with his own eyes. The monarch asked the most knowledgeable man in the middle school, if he could privately guess the origin of the tiger baby?
Now that the monarch had opened his mouth, Xiling couldn't help but tell the monarch an astonishing inference - the so-called little gentleman was probably Xiang Sha!
This conclusion is unbelievable, but Xiling analyzed it one by one based on what he knew, and the more he listened, the more it became true. If what happened in Feihong City is not enough to confirm, then what happened in Gongshan Village is probably
Can be sure.
The monarch was startled, and instinctively thought of his great-grandfather, who was snatched away from the military camp by Senior Xiangsha in the middle of the night and thrown into a big tree in the mountains. How could it be this senior who collided with Gong Yuan?
Xiangsha has not appeared in sixty years, so why did he suddenly appear in the Xiangshi Kingdom? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
Xiling comforted the monarch and said: "The news just came that the young gentleman has left the hunting garden and is walking south alone. It seems that he is about to leave the country. He should not be here for the Xiangshi Kingdom, let alone
You are here, maybe he has been walking on Ba Yuan, but he happened to encounter something like this, which made us aware of his whereabouts."
As soon as he said this, a guard reported to the king urgently. Gong Lang led his chariot and left the capital, taking with him the secret treasure given by Meng Yingqiu. He didn't know what he was doing. Xiling was surprised and said: "Gong Lang
The young master must have gone after the young gentleman, probably to find out his identity."
The monarch was shocked when he heard this, and quickly ordered General Yue Xuan, a master of the five realms, to lead his bodyguards to drive light chariots and fast horses to chase Gong Lang back. If Gong Lang didn't listen, then tie him back. In short
Don't let him mess with that little gentleman.
…
The five kingdoms of Ba Yuan all use "Ba" as their country name. Because of the different surnames inherited by their clans, they are called Xiangshiba Kingdom, Zhengshiba Kingdom, Fanshiba Kingdom, Bolshiba Kingdom and Bashiba Kingdom respectively.
The country and clan are divided into five surnames: Zheng, Fan, Bo and Ba.
In this era, surnames were often confusing, let alone descendants. Even many civilians at that time couldn't figure out what was going on. There were still many village residents who had neither surnames nor surnames. In a tribe with a common ancestor, descendants
The origins of people's surnames are usually very complex. Some are inherited from ancestors, some are derived from titles or fiefdoms, and some are just self-proclaimed names.
It is said that Emperor Xuanyuan had twenty-five sons, fourteen of whom received twelve surnames. In ancient Ba, descendants of five branches received five surnames respectively, establishing today's Five Kingdoms of Ba Yuan.
The Bashi Kingdom is located in the center of Bayuan, occupying the fertile plain where agriculture is most developed. It was also the capital of the ancient Bashi Kingdom. But its northwest is the Xiangshi Kingdom, the southwest is the Zhengshi Kingdom, and the northeast is the Fanshi Kingdom.
, the southeast is the Belushi Kingdom. It is surrounded by the four kingdoms, and it is also the place where the surrounding areas are surrounded by enemies.
The remaining four countries are all bordered by the wild mountains around Bayuan, and have relatively large strategic depth. The Bashi Kingdom, located in the center of Bayuan, although it has inherited the main part of the original Pakistan, is in a rather embarrassing situation. Whenever a war occurs,
It also received the most attacks.
Huwa continued to go south in the Longma City of Xiangshi Kingdom, and in front of him was Meng Yingqiu, which is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms. The mountain god once specifically told him that there are some places on Ba Yuan where he should not trespass, and Meng Yingqiu was the focus of his mention.
Even if Huwa's cultivation level breaks through the Sixth Realm in the future, it is best to avoid a direct conflict with Meng Yingqiu.
Meng Yingqiu is not only a place name, but also the name of a large sect established here. The leader of its sect is Mingsha, one of the seven evil spirits of Bayuan. Mingsha is a woman who became famous after Qingsha retired to the wilderness.
.It is said that she is extremely coquettish and beautiful, but also extremely scary and difficult to deal with. Not only is she highly skilled in cultivation and her skills are vicious and strange, she is also difficult for experts in the same realm to guard against. Even Chiwangqiu Baisha is very afraid of her.
When Li Qingshui retired to the wilderness, Mingsha was still an ordinary disciple in Meng Yingqiu. Just a dozen years later, she became famous and famous. The mountain god did not know how many masters there were in Meng Yingqiu, but
Just one Mingsha can intimidate all directions.
According to the mountain god, the secret method taught by Meng Yingqiu emphasizes the feminine lineage, so it is more suitable for women to practice. Most of the masters in the mountain and the core disciples of the sect are women. The mountain god also lamented that the clans and those powerful people close to the Three Kingdoms
The tribe always tries every means to get its children to join Meng Yingqiu's sect and practice those secret magical powers that are neither yin nor yang. Why bother?
Huwa also knew a secret of Mingsha, who had also mastered the form-swallowing technique passed down by Emperor Shaohao. Baisha of Chiwangqiu had visited Meng Yingqiu that year, and it was not uncommon for monks to communicate and learn from each other.
With Sha's identity, the only one who can prove his cultivation is a master like Ming Sha.
Bai Sha actually passed the swallowing technique to Ming Sha. Whether there was any "adultery" between the two people is unknown to outsiders. But what is certain is that Ming Sha should have also passed it on to Bai Sha. I want to know.
It is said that after Chiwangqiu Xuansha became famous, he went to Meng Yingqiu to discuss with Mingsha for verification. It was rumored that Xuansha was defeated by Mingsha that time. But this result is not surprising, because Xuansha
Sha was not yet twenty years old at the time.
The mountain god once warned Huwa, half jokingly and half frightening: "In the future, when you go to Ba Yuan and pass near Meng Yingqiu, you must go around it. You are such a handsome young man with such a good body, be careful that fate will take you back to warm your bed.
She is very picky!" Huwa was very obedient and took a detour. To the west was Zheng Shi Kingdom and to the east was Bashi Kingdom. He was heading in the direction of Bashi Kingdom.
At this moment, Huwa probably couldn't imagine that he had anything to do with the imperial palace conspiracy of the Xiangshi Kingdom, which actually caused the monarch's favorite concubine and the Changchang clan to come to such a guess conclusion. But this situation is not unexpected, there are always things in the world.
People with sinister intentions will judge other people and things in the world with their own vicious eyes.
After Huwa left the Xie Garden, he took the main road and went straight to the border checkpoint, passing by many villages. To his surprise, the residents of the villages along the way were very respectful to him and would take the initiative to salute him when they saw him.
Take the initiative to bring him hot water and the best food in the house, and respectfully call him "little sir".
In many places he traveled, he received such courtesy, and the clan leader sent offerings on behalf of the clan. It turned out that during the more than three months he traveled with Cangsha, not only what happened in Feihong City had already
It spread to every city, and even what happened in Gongshan Village has been spread here.
Gongshan Village is under the jurisdiction of Longma City, and it is not far from the capital. People in the villages along this road were of course the first to hear the news. Although they had never seen Huwa, a teenage boy
The boy was traveling alone, carrying a sackcloth package and a lively puppy with a colorful tail. His features were easily identifiable.
Many residents along the way were deeply honored and even excited to see the "little gentleman" who was respected by all the people in the country. This made Huwa feel very embarrassed. He did not do anything for these strangers, but
These simple villagers gave him the best support. Although he may not need it, his heart is full of gratitude.
This is the main road leading from Longma City to the border checkpoint. During wartime, military formations often came and went, so it was built flat and wide, allowing two carriages to cross each other. Due to the important strategic position of this road, there are basically many people in the villages along the way.
There is a post station, and there are sergeants on duty at the inn station.
Panhu also noticed one thing. Although Huwa was very popular everywhere he went, and the sergeants at the post station would salute him when they saw him, but then someone would harness a fast horse and drive away, rushing to the city walls and the capital.
direction.
The sergeants at these stations had obviously been ordered to rush to the capital to report the news. But Huwa didn't pay special attention to it. He was just going his own way. That day, he was not far from the border and came to a large and lively village.
, this place is called Xiubingzhai.
The geographical location of Xiubingzhai is very special. It is the village closest to the border military camp. Where people gather, there are opportunities for trade. In peacetime, this is also where caravans often come and go. You can't open shops in military camps.
, so the busiest market in the vicinity appeared in Xiubingzhai, which is closest to the border.
Many soldiers will come here to buy, sell and exchange various items during their breaks. It is also a rest and gathering place for caravans traveling between the two countries. Caravans from Bashi and Xiangshi often do transactions directly here.
.
Huwa walked along the road, and in front of him was the gate of Xiubing Village. Many vendors even set up stalls on both sides of the road outside the village gate. Many of the traders were sergeants guarding the border. These people saw Huwa leading the dishes from a distance.
When Hu came over, everyone looked surprised, obviously thinking of the deeds of the "little gentleman" that had recently been spread in the country.
Huwa and Panhu also looked surprised. Their perception was much sharper than ordinary people. At this moment, they heard the galloping of horse hooves and the sound of rolling wheels in the distance behind them. There was more than one carriage coming. Turning back
The smoke and dust rising on the road could already be seen. I don't know if there was some extremely urgent matter, but the visitor didn't stop and slow down when approaching the village.
