Yuxiangyuan is located in Xijiao Street in the capital. It was an extremely prosperous area three years ago. Later, due to an accident, Yuxiangyuan became a ruin, and others did not dare to approach it.
On that day three years ago, an actor died, and the general went crazy on the spot after returning from the battlefield. It is said that the madam of Yuxiangyuan and his forces were all wiped out, and blood flowed everywhere.
It snowed in September, and it lasted for more than ten days, which was very sad and desolate.
Today is the time for Yuxiang Tower to be demolished and rebuilt. I heard that the monarch deliberately released the news. He had said it a few months ago, so that the news would spread to every part of Fenglai Kingdom.
In an attic near Feng Lai Kingdom, a middle-aged man wearing a lavender gown stood by the window. Through the window, he could see the people passing by around him.
This middle-aged man is the king of Fenglai Kingdom, and his name is Ying Qianjun.
The dozen or so people standing behind the monarch are all important ministers of Feng Lai Kingdom.
"Do you really think the General will show up?"
One of the old ministers said to Ying Qianjun.
"Maybe!"
Ying Qianjun was not sure enough and just hoped that the general would appear.
Yuxiang Garden has a profound meaning to the general. Ying Qianjun has been guarding it for these years and sent many people to find the whereabouts of the general. Unfortunately, the general has disappeared from the world and no one can find him.
.
Nowadays, Fenglai Kingdom is under strong attack by the enemy, and the war is becoming tense. If a general is not found to guard the entire army, Fenglai Kingdom may face the risk of annihilation.
As a last resort, Ying Qianjun came up with a way to force the general out.
"Alas!" Thinking of the tragedy three years ago, the then Prime Minister sighed: "If I had known that the geisha in Yuxiang Garden had a relationship with the general, such a thing would never have happened."
"Five years ago, the general was just a pawn in the army. He fought outside the border for two years and made many military exploits. The monarch issued several imperial edicts to the border fortress, conferring the title of general to command the army and suppress the dynasties of all parties. At that time, our company
I’ve never seen the general’s face, how can I know the general’s confidante?”
When all the ministers thought about the past events, they sighed.
"It's really not worth it to go crazy over a geisha."
A certain minister expressed his opinion. As a general with great military exploits, why would he be like this if he didn't have a woman?
"Huh?" The monarch Ying Qianjun turned his head and glanced at the minister, frowning slightly: "It's best not to let the general hear this, otherwise I can't save your life, do you understand?"
"Wei Chen made a mistake."
Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, the minister quickly fell to his knees, sweating coldly. Involuntarily, he thought of a tragic incident three years ago. The power behind Yuxiangyuan was the prince of the dynasty, and he was uprooted.
It broke out and hundreds of people died.
If the general didn't have any sanity, he would even dare to kill the prince.
It's a life-threatening situation for someone who dares to talk casually about the geisha in Yuxiang Garden.
"Your Majesty, the time has come."
At this time, a soldier stood at the door of the room and said loudly.
"Push it!"
Ying Qianjun gritted his teeth and ordered.
"yes."
With Ying Qianjun's order, the workers standing around Yuxiang Garden were ready to take action.
"Whether Fenglai Country can survive this disaster depends on luck."
Looking in the direction of Yuxiang Garden, Ying Qianjun murmured to himself.
Rumble——
There was a commotion, and hundreds of workers took the tools and walked to the door of Yuxiangyuan.
The streets were full of people, wanting to see the excitement. Everyone in the capital didn't know the history of Yuxiang Garden and was very interested.
Xu Changge was naturally among the crowd.
Xu Changge was wearing simple cloth clothes with a few holes in them, which were harmless.
After scanning the crowd around him, Xu Changge's eyes fell on one person.
In a remote corner of the street, a beggar was sitting on the ground. His whole body was smelly. Everyone disliked him and stayed away. Therefore, this beggar was extremely conspicuous among the crowd.
However, after everyone took one look at the beggar, they would not look at him again, their eyes were full of disgust.
Xu Changge squeezed out from the crowd, walked to the beggar, and sat on the ground.
"Brother, we meet again."
This beggar was the same beggar who had dealt with Xu Changge two months ago, and he gave Xu Changge half a piece of steamed bun.
"What a coincidence." The beggar's face was dirty and covered with dirt.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't enter Beijing? What's going on?"
Xu Changge asked curiously.
The beggar smiled and did not answer. His smile looked extremely bitter, mixed with a hint of pain.
"I heard that the demolition of Yuxiang Garden was a conspiracy by the king to lure out the general. Speaking of this general, I am very interested. It is said that the general was a soldier in the army and once led ten brothers to ambush the enemy.
, killed hundreds of people and still escaped unscathed. I also heard that the general had three plans to secure the southern border and intimidate a million-strong army."
Xu Changge said softly: "Such an outstanding person, I really want to see it with my own eyes."
"Heroes? Hehe, he's just a loser." The beggar mocked and took a sip of the wine.
"Brother, why did you say this?"
Xu Changge asked.
"If you can't even protect the people you care about, you're just a useless person."
The beggar sneered again.
"But he protected the people of Fenglai Country, and brought Fenglai Country to a brief period of peace and prosperity for several years." Xu Changge said.
"If I had a choice, I would not wear armor or carry a silver spear, and I would give up my life to live up to you."
As he spoke, the beggar's voice became hoarse and his eyes turned slightly red.
Many years ago, a poor scholar went to Beijing to take the exam, just to show his ambition. However, no matter how great his ambition was, he could not stop hunger and poverty.
As soon as he entered the capital, the scholar was about to starve to death. He started writing, hoping to sell a few copybooks in exchange for food. Unexpectedly, after setting up a stall for two days, no one was willing to pay for the copybooks.
Seeing that the scholar was about to faint from hunger, a woman in plain gauze came over, holding a pipa in her hands and partially covering her face. The faint fragrance spread in all directions along the breeze.
"How do you sell this copybook, Master?"
the woman asked.
"Three cents a pair."
The scholar became more energetic and kept his requirements to a minimum for fear of scaring away the guest.
"For such a masterpiece, three cents is too little."
The woman took out a tael of silver and a copybook.
"Girl, you gave me too much."
The scholar was at a loss.
"It doesn't matter." The woman left, leaving behind a silhouette that the scholar will never forget.
With this tael of silver, the scholar had the capital to survive and regained his confidence. Two months later, when the results were released, the scholar originally had great confidence, but he was disappointed in the end and was not listed on the list.
The scholar didn't believe that he had failed the exam and wanted to ask the examiner to check the exam papers.
After months of entanglement, the scholar finally saw his examination paper and found that it was not written by himself. As for the No. 1 scholar appointed by the monarch, the examination paper was made public. It was a promising strategy for the stability of the country and shocked the government and the public.
