Huwa bypassed Meng Yingqiu and entered the Bashi Kingdom. He did not continue walking through the mountains and fields. He found the nearest city wall and bought a carriage and horses, and drove along the way. He galloped along the highway on the plain and arrived there half a month later.
Batu City, the capital of the Bashi Kingdom. This is the most magnificent and prosperous city in Ba Yuan. Because the royal palace, Lincang, and official offices are built on three huge mounds in the north of the city, it is also called the Three Qiu City.
The last time Huwa entered the royal capital, he was riding in Mr. Changling's carriage. From the city gate to the palace, not only was there no one to check, but the curtains of the carriage were not even opened. This time, he drove into the city by himself, and he could feel it even more.
The prosperous and populated scene presents a complex and complex vitality that is completely different from that in the wild wilderness.
Huwa had entered many city walls before, and he was slightly surprised that Bashi's defenses seemed so lax. The two teams of sergeants at the west gate stood upright in bright clothes, but it seemed to be just a guard of honor.
Caravans carrying bulk goods and other pedestrians, carriages and horses entering and exiting the city gate will hardly be subject to interrogation.
Arriving at the city gate, Huwa found that most of the people in the capital area were beaming with joy, and even many houses were painted with bright new pink. What was going on? Could it be that everyone was happy because Shaowu succeeded to the throne?
Is it like this? Not at all! Hou Lin has been in the country for more than 40 years and is deeply loved by all people. He just passed away less than half a year ago, and people should still remember him.
But looking at the area around the capital, it seemed like something happy had happened in the junior high school. Huwa was slightly puzzled. The reason why he didn't stay on the road for too long was because he had foreseen that a war was likely to break out in Bashi Kingdom. Of course, this war
It was aimed at Zheng Shiguo.
When Dajun and Hanxiong's caravan was attacked, it was secretly discovered that the mastermind behind the attack was Zheng Shiguo, and the main participants were monks from Yingzhuling.
During the time when Huwa was healing Hanxiong, although he didn't ask anything, Shaowu kept sending people to report various situations to the depths of Pengshan. With Shaowu's character, although he was very tolerant, he would never do it.
If he gives up his plan easily, there is no way he will not take revenge. Assassinating Dajun and others is tantamount to assassinating Shaowu himself.
At least Huwa knew that as soon as Hou Lin died, General Beidao did not let go of Young Master Zhonglan, Huiliang, Gu Liang and others. Moreover, Huwa also knew a piece of news that others did not know. The servants that Shaowu brought to Hongjincheng
, Xiao Xi, who betrayed his whereabouts, sold his shop and disappeared after the young minister left Wufuqiu. However, a few months later, he was assassinated in the bustling city of Zheng's capital.
This was not done by the other party, but by someone sent by the Shaowu. Huwa just learned about it when he left the Pengshan fiefdom. The Shaowu did not disclose it to the public, but he did not hide it from Huwa. Since the Shaowu even connected Xiaoxi
His whereabouts have been found out. And assassins have been sent to eliminate him. Then this matter should also be found out, and there will definitely be a resolution between him and Zheng Shiguo.
General Zhennan of Bashi State resigned and returned to his hometown due to his old age, but was retained as a junior minister. The reason is very simple. Currently, there is no successor with both prestige and experience in the country. General Zhenbei is still retained by the junior minister.
Hidden in the forbidden area of Pengshan, the position of the junior high school is still vacant, so General Zhennan cannot leave.
In the mind of the Shaowu, the best candidate to take over as General Zhennan in the future is of course Hanxiong, but Hanxiong needs military qualifications to accumulate prestige. So the Shaowu sent Hanxiong to Shanchuan City on the southern border to be the city lord, and Shanchuan City became the city's lord.
It borders the Baiguo City of Zheng Shiguo. If there is no war with Zheng Shiguo, what kind of military merits does Hanxiong go there to accumulate?
Huwa also found out that Hou Lin and Shao Wu were secretly reorganizing their armaments and demoted the Beidao clan to the forbidden area of Pengshan in order to create the most secretive and elite army near the capital. But looking at the appearance in the capital, they were nowhere to be seen.
There is no atmosphere of imminent war. Maybe these are for outsiders to see. No matter which country's spies come to the capital of Bashi Kingdom, they will not think that the new king is preparing for war.
The carriage and horse passed through the city gate so freely without anyone checking. Huwa was a little uncomfortable with it. He took the initiative to stop the car and dismounted and asked the sergeant guarding the city - how to get to Lord Pengkeng's mansion?
It's funny to say that it is his own mansion, and according to the news Jiuling brought back, many banquets and parties have been held in his mansion and manor, but he himself has never been there.
As soon as the baby opened her mouth, she heard someone reply from above: "Sir, which sect are you a monk from? Are you also going to visit Mr. Peng Keng?"
Following the voice, a man in his thirties had already walked down from the city tower. He was not wearing any armor and he looked like a monk. Huwa secretly thought to himself, this capital city is really tight on the outside and tight on the inside.
I asked the sergeant casually at the city gate, and the monks on the city tower heard me clearly.
Huwa saluted the man and said, "Sir, do you know how to get to Peng Keng's mansion?"
The man smiled and said: "Of course I know that during these days, monks from various sects have always come to visit Master Peng Keng. Many of them were saved by him in Pengshan, and they brought their fellow disciples to express their gratitude and make friends.
There are also people from various cities and aristocratic families who have sent people to deliver gifts. But Mr. Peng Keng is not at home and has not returned from his travels."
Huwa smiled and said: "I am Peng Keng. I'm sorry, I don't know where my mansion is."
The man was startled, stepped forward and saluted: "Sir, it turns out you are back! I am Bao Youju, my brother-in-law. My junior brother Bao Qizheng also received your life-saving grace in Pengshan. I have long admired you.
Sir, I have always admired you greatly, and today I finally have the honor to see you in person... Have you not been to your mansion yet? Please get in the car, and I will drive for you."
There are advantages to having a good name and a noble status. Just ask at the city gate, and a monk will take the initiative to drive Huwa to his house. Goose Gongbao is the name of a place, and it is also the name of a sect. Bao Youju’s junior brother Bao
Qizheng Huwa knew him, and he had indeed rescued this man deep in Pengshan. Moreover, Jiuling also knew Bao Qizheng, and he had thrown this man out of the hospital and hit a big bump on his head.
Huwa's mansion is on the west side of the capital, in a secluded residential area between Zhuzheng's official office and the Western Market. Lord Zhuzheng's mansion is also nearby. Sitting in the car, Huwa and Bao Youju casually chatted about the recent past.
Regarding the matter, the latest news is from Huwa’s own family.
Bao Youju also visited Huwa several times, but never saw Huwa. He was received by his two disciples Tengjin and Tenghua. Tengjin was tall and burly, and could compete with Hanxiong; while Master Pengkeng's
The female disciple Tenghua turned out to be so strong and fierce, which Bao Youju couldn't help but sigh.
The monarch gave Huwa and Panhu two adjacent houses. Of course, Bao Youju did not know the names of Huwa and Panhu. The people in the country only heard about the two adults, "Pengkeng family" and "Wang Sheng family".
Only a few people who know the inside story know that the so-called Wang Sheng is actually the divine dog beside Mr. Peng Keng. The depth of the two houses is the same, but Huwa's house is wider than Panhu's house.
Huwa has always been a hands-off adult, so he just let Panhu lead the vines and golden vine flowers around the house. Panhu opened a door on the side wall of the front yard, connecting the two houses; and in the middle of the backyard
The wall was simply demolished, and a large garden was created. He led two mastiffs to dig a pond in the back garden, build rockeries, plant trees, beans, and transplant many elixirs from Pengshan.
But just a month ago, Mr. Wang Sheng gave his house to another Mr. Panyuan. It is said that this Mr. Panyuan was also an expert who came down from Wufu Qiu, and he was the same as Mr. Pengkeng and the young king.
Wu Zeng was a senior fellow student. He was very young and handsome. He was a handsome boy.
I didn't hear that this man had any achievements, but as soon as he came to the capital, he was rewarded by the monarch and given the family name Panyuan. Wang Sheng's house was given by the monarch. It is said that he cannot sell or give it to others without authorization, but
He sent it away without any objection from the king.
If the monarch favors the Pan Yuan family, it would be enough to give him another house. Moreover, the house has been renovated and is connected to the Peng Keng family's house. This matter should also get the consent of the Peng Keng family, but no one seems to have proposed it.
The monarch also agreed with the objection. This made Bao Youju also feel puzzled. He also asked Huwa - who is Master Panyuan?
Huwa couldn't help being stunned. After thinking about it again, he looked surprised again and replied with a smile: "This Lord Panyuan is indeed a brother to me and the monarch, and his origins are not simple.
Mr. Wang Sheng’s house must be given away, I’m afraid.”
The road was not too far, and as he spoke, he had already arrived in front of the door of Huwa's mansion. There were four servants guarding the door, holding long jujube sticks in their hands. They all looked majestic and high-spirited, as if they could help others.
Mr. Peng Keng was guarding the door and felt very glorious.
When they saw Bao Youju driving to a stop, they didn't put on any airs. One person came forward very politely and asked, "Mr. Youju, are you here to pay homage to my family again? It's a pity that he is still wandering around and has not returned..."
…The person sitting in this car is Mr. Goose’s senior official?”
If Bao Youju can drive the car himself, then the person riding in the car should be his senior. The servants guarding the gate of Huwa's house are quite discerning. Before Huwa had time to speak, Bao Youju said loudly: "Isn't that the person who came?
The elder of my father-in-law is your Lord Peng Keng, don’t you even know your own head?"
Several servants hurriedly came forward to pay their respects, welcomed Huwa out of the car, and opened the door to enter the mansion to announce. When Huwa walked into the front yard, all the servants in the mansion came, including the cook who was responsible for cooking for him and the person who took care of the warehouse.
Guys, grooms who drive cars, maids who take care of daily life, etc... Huwa doesn't know any of them anyway.
The attendants met the master in the courtyard, looking at Huwa with awe and curiosity. Huwa smiled and said to the gatekeeper: "Don't call me old man again, I'm not even older than you."
