Chapter 728: The First Level in the World (I have something to do tonight, so I will post one first)
Everyone traveled at dawn and stayed overnight, following step by step, and nothing happened along the way. There was no major incident.
During this period, several stories of swords and swords occasionally happened.
There were also several touching stories of love, hate and separation.
Xiong Mengyan has always been dressed in white as snow and has a hot figure. She has attracted many men along the way!
period
The road to Shu was tortuous and the journey was much slower than the waterway. It took several days to enter the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Since Tuoba Xuan had various customs clearance documents, he had a smooth journey before entering the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After leaving the border of Shu, we soon arrived at Fangzhou!
In the territory of Dazhou, Feng Jiuxiao's waist card came into play.
All the way to the north of the river, passing through Junzhou, Dengzhou, Ruzhou, Huaizhou, Weizhou, Cizhou, Bazhou, crossing the Juma River, and finally arrived at the border of Khitan. Half a month had passed.
Everyone was not in a hurry along the way, just walking and shopping, and riding a horse was not tiring anyway.
Tuoba Xuan pays attention to everything. Everywhere he goes, he has to observe for a long time, looking here and there, looking here and there. He looks like a national master, but he is clearly a spy. But he seems to be doing it for the sake of Qiu Feng Jiuxiao, and this gathering of information is almost blatant.
Because of the distribution of these mountains and rivers, the crisscrossing of roads, the garrison of cities, and all kinds of things that can be seen on the surface, spies from Daliao have already reported to Beijing. There is no most detailed, only more detailed. Feng Jiuxiao can even imagine,
The Emperor of the Liao Dynasty could see a piece of intelligence about the Great Zhou every few days, such as the replacement of garrison guards in various cities and the rotation of troops and horses. These must have more ideas than the people of the Great Zhou!
So it doesn’t matter, just feel free to do as you please!
The weather is getting cooler and autumn is approaching.
More and more yellow leaves are falling all the way.
The further north you go, the cooler the weather becomes. The sun was still shining brightly yesterday south of the Yellow River, but today it was a bit dry and cold north of the Yellow River, especially in the morning when the white air spewed out.
After crossing the Juma River, the scenery in front of you is completely different from that of the Central Plains.
There are no small bridges and flowing water, there are no houses, and there is no spring in March where the grass grows and orioles fly. Although there are green mountains and green waters, there is no smoke for ten miles.
There are no high mountains, only hills. The mountains are not dangerous, but they are continuous.
No matter which angle you look at, it is surrounded by mountains, and it is difficult to see the vast open land. Of course, Khitan also has endless prairie and natural horse farms, but compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou with small bridges and flowing water, Dezhou, Cangzhou, and Khitan are like flat rivers.
It seemed much more desolate. Mainly because there were too few people. No one was seen for a long time.
As if he knew what Feng Jiuxiao was thinking, Tuoba Xuan said: "Although my Khitan is not as cultivated as the Central Plains, we are rich in products. The delicacies you call the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the Central Plains are commonplace for us."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "If you say that the Imperial Master eats delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, I believe it, but if you say that the same is true for you people, I don't believe it."

In fact, after crossing the Juma River, we are very close to Yanjing, but Feng Jiuxiao means to arrive in Beijing early and return to Hengyang early, so we will not go to Yanjing. At this time, Yanjing was also called Nanjing by the Khitan. At this time, the Liao Kingdom
There are five capitals, Linhuang Prefecture in upper Beijing, Dading Prefecture in middle Beijing, Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, Xijing Prefecture in Nanjing, and Datong Prefecture in Xijing.
In order to go straight to his destination, Feng Jiuxiao paid no attention to foreign affairs along the way, so when he encountered some tricky and weird things, he just kept them in his mind and did not investigate them in detail. He just left them to the local government for handling.
If these yamen don't deal with it, Feng Jiuxiao doesn't care. Sooner or later, he will come back to find these people to settle the accounts again!
Of course, there are many stories along the way.
Someone who took over the mountain and became the king actually dared to intercept these people, but was frightened away by Pang Shiwu's Ningshuang Sword, which killed several people. Unexpectedly, Wang Shengji was there.
Yuguan belonged to the ancient Guzhu country with prosperous civilization in the Shang Dynasty. After the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, Guzhu returned to the Zhou Dynasty.
Until Qi destroys Lone Bamboo.
Lone Bamboo enjoyed the country for more than 1,100 years.
When Qin Shihuang visited Yuguan on his fourth tour, he carved the Jieshi Gate. He also sent Yan people Lu Sheng, Han Zhong, Hou Gong, Shi Sheng and other alchemists into the sea to seek immortals and the elixir of immortality. Later generations named this place Qinhuangdao.
From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms Wei, and then to the Western Jin Dynasty, Qinhuangdao belonged to Liaoxi County of Youzhou.
Until the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan occupied Ying and Ping Prefectures. Through the Jin and Han Dynasties, it has been occupied by the Khitan until the present day of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Khitan changed Qinhuangdao to Yuguan.
Here is Shanhaiguan, known as "the first pass in the world"!
When they arrived at Yuguan City, Tuoba Xuan was a bit showy and insisted on inviting everyone to visit "Shanhaiguan City".
There is "the best archery tower in the world" in Shanhaiguan City! It is also called Zhendong Tower! This tower is the east gate of Shanhaiguan City and is a "landmark building".
Feng Jiuxiao thought: Once you come, let's be at ease. If someone invites you, go.
The group of people drove into Shanhaiguan City in a mighty manner.
At this time, two of Wang Sheng's servants were also chasing after them. Although they were injured, they finally fulfilled their mission and came to see him! In addition, many letters from the Southern Tang Dynasty were also found on the officer's body.
!
It turns out that this officer actually colluded with Nan Tang!
Wang Sheng couldn't help but be a little surprised!
The matter is so big, is this even a big deal?
He immediately spent a lot of money to ask the local Feixun Station to send a letter to Prime Minister Zhang of Shu!
He states the facts.
As for how to do it, my uncle has his own methods.
Feng Jiuxiao saw that the city guards of Daliao were indeed majestic, high-spirited, and extraordinary! They were tall and burly, and they looked like men from the north! But their faces were not as fierce as the legend said, and not all of them were qiu.
Some people even have fairer skin than the people in the Central Plains. This is probably because the sunshine here is shorter than in the Central Plains.
When the general guarding the city knew that the Imperial Preceptor was here, he naturally did not dare to neglect it. He called almost all his subordinates who could spare time to come over and pay homage to the Imperial Preceptor. This was the etiquette he had to fulfill. The way of being an official is all about details.
However, the Imperial Preceptor waved his hand and said: "Everyone stick to their posts, General Han, you can just stay here." All the lieutenants and generals were sent back. It would be bad if the emperor knew that his "profile" was too big!
General Han is a member of the Han family, and his power is naturally very important, but he still dare not show any slightest contempt in front of the national master!
First of all, we came to the "Arrow Tower of the First Pass in the World". On it were written the five characters "The First Pass in the World". There was no inscription and I don't know who wrote it.
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Does the Imperial Master know who wrote this plaque?"
Tuoba Xuandao: "You have troubled me! Legend has it that it was written by Wang Xizhi."
"If what he wrote is extraordinary, his "Lanting Preface" is known as the best running script in the world!"
"It is only fitting that the world's best calligrapher should write an inscription for the world's best calligrapher."
"Master Imperial Master, now that Shanhaiguan is within the territory of Daliao, why not replace this plaque with Khitan characters?"

Something happened at the moment, so I forgot to post this. I'm sorry, I'll post half of it first.
