The Great Shang Dynasty has a cross-shaped structure, and it is precisely this structure that requires princes from all directions to guard the four directions.
However, the human kings of the past dynasties were actually wary of the four major princes, so they established various passes and guarded them with interceptors and aliens.
Among them, the four major passes are important, also known as the four major armies.
Chentangguan is located at the crossroads between Beibohou and the Yin Shang Dynasty. Li Jing was previously the commander-in-chief, and because Beibohou was very loyal, this is why Wen Taishi agreed to transfer Li Jing. After Li Jing left, Wen Taishi
The veteran general Lu Xiong was transferred to guard the area. Lu Xiong was very good at defense and was also a mature and prudent general.
Youhun Pass is located at the crossroads between Dongbohou and the Yin Shang Dynasty. Dou Rong is the commander-in-chief, and his wife is the famous Mrs. Chedi. The couple has been in Youhun Pass for many years, and they are well versed in literary, military and military strategies. Although they are human beings,
But his strength is comparable to those of those who are from different religions.
Xiqi has a special location and is prone to dive. People and kings in the past dynasties were often wary of Xiqi, so five passes were set up in the hope of withstanding the pressure: Sishui Pass, Jiepai Pass, Chuanyun Pass, Tongguan, and Lintong.
Passes, each pass is assisted by strangers, and the generals in charge are also carefully selected.
This can be seen from Han Rong, the commander-in-chief of Sishui Pass. They are all smart people.
Emperor Xin looked at the map and still didn't quite understand why the seemingly indifferent Nanbohou chose two passes to guard. Moreover, the candidates for the general army were all the best among men, and they were even more vigilant than Xiqi.
If Zhang Guifang, the commander-in-chief of Qinglong Pass, is powerful, he is an expert in intercepting and teaching left-handed methods. He has the role of monitoring Xiqi. When necessary, Qinglong Pass will serve as a vanguard officer to deal with Xiqi. He usually guards the south. It can be said that he is a
I have to guard the two princes.
So Sanshanguan Pass was purely for guarding Nanbohou. At this time, the commander-in-chief of Sanshanguan was Deng Jiugong, and his lieutenants were Zhang Shan, Hong Jin, and Kong Xuan.
This configuration can be said to be seriously overstaffed. If others don't say it, Grand Master Wen would not be unaware of Kong Xuan's ability and put him there. I believe it must have other functions.
…
At this time, Di Xin was mostly awake and thinking about how to conquer the big peacock, but he was totally confused.
"Your Majesty, in the early years, I joined the army with Kong Xuan under Grand Master Wen, and we are quite familiar with each other. However, Kong Xuan was an arrogant man and was not easy to conquer. However, there is a person in Chaoge who has an old relationship with him."
"Oh? Who?"
Di Xin suddenly became interested and immediately stood up and asked.
"The doctor Fei Lian!"
"The leader of Dawuyu?"
Emperor Xin never thought that Fei Lian, the leader of Dawu Yu, had an old relationship with Kong Xuan, but after thinking about it, he understood that Fei Lian's demon body was a beast with the body of a bird and the head of a deer, and he had access to the five elements of luck.
, whose magical power and appearance is that of the Wind Mother, so she must be familiar with that bird.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. Fei Lian and Kong Xuan once sought Taoist Yizhen in Qishan together. They are still brothers after all."
"Oh? Isn't this Qi Refiner famous?"
Di Xin had never even heard of it, and he didn't even know about this secret.
"This Yizhen Taoist is extremely mysterious. Not only Fei Lian, Kong Xuan, but also Chi You also sought help from him. This led to the battle of chasing deer. Later, Chi You was defeated. Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to find this Zhen Taoist, but for no reason.
Disappeared and never appeared again."
This kind of legendary monk may have a very terrible real background, but the camp he is in is definitely not the current saint's side. He is probably one of the remaining ancient monks from the Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe.
"Since I am Kong Xuan's junior brother, I will go find Fei Lian when I go back alone."
Li Jing also sincerely wanted to help Di Xin, but he was also afraid that if it was a call from the Human King, Kong Xuan's arrogant temper would probably turn away, and it would be even worse if he was angered.
Li Jing knew that Kong Xuan was powerful, but Emperor Xin didn't know that, so finding a middleman Fei Lian was the best way.
"Brother Wang, this is the newly brewed plum wine. Please try it, Brother Wang."
Mrs. Yin took small steps and took out all the best drinks in the house. This sentence of "Brother Wang" also proved the status of Mrs. Yin from the side.
"Let Sister Wang worry about it!"
After tasting a glass, he immediately felt the sweetness. This reminded Di Xin of the plum blossom wine brewed by Su Daji, which was also so sweet and clear, and he unconsciously looked into the distance.
"It's not too early, I have to go back to the palace alone."
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Li Jing, who had woken up, returned to his rigid look. Di Xin smiled softly. It seemed that training another Huang Feihu was unrealistic.
…
After leaving the house, Di Xin was not in a hurry to return to the palace. He heard the cries of sales in the distance and asked the guards not to follow him. He wanted to go to the market.
The market in Chaoge is divided into morning market and evening market. Speaking of the evening market, it is also related to Di Xin.
There were many products produced in Emperor Xin's palace. In the early days, there was always some inconvenience due to the battle with the great witch Zhu, so he asked the attendants to sneak out of the palace and sell them in the market. Because they were sneaky, and it was dark, except for the lanterns.
Outside the bright light, it is difficult to see the people coming from the other side, so it is also called a ghost market.
With this coming and going, there are more people doing business, and many people know it well, and many people from noble backgrounds also take advantage of the darkness to visit the market, which makes it more popular.
Di Xin was well-dressed, but because it was dark, he couldn't see much except the lantern.
There are many things in this ghost market, many of which are of top quality. Di Xin even saw the medicines and ores needed by the Qi Refiners, which are quite rare among the human race.
Of course, there are also down-and-out nobles who, for fear of being embarrassed, sell some of their household items in the ghost market to earn some shell coins.
Di Xin was enjoying his shopping, but he saw an old man sitting in a corner all the way away, and in front of the old man were several bags of grain.
The old man was sleepy and seemed to lack interest, which made Di Xin happy when he saw it.
"How much does this bag of corn cost?"
"Watch it!"
The old man didn't even open his eyes, hoping that the person asking the price wouldn't disturb him.
"My doctor's annual salary is 360 dan. It's the New Year's Eve. How come I'm selling grains alone?"
The old man opposite was startled and woke up from his sleep. When he saw the person coming, he quickly stood up and bowed.
"Don't disturb others."
Emperor Xin quickly stopped him, and the old man whispered, "My doctor Jiang Shang pays homage to the king!"
"Get up!"
It was a ghost market anyway, so Di Xin sat next to Jiang Shang and watched the passers-by.
Jiang Shang was originally feeling guilty, but seeing that Di Xin was so approachable, he sat down tremblingly.
“Why sell grain?”
"Back to your Majesty, it's the chaff in the family who insists on forcing me to sell the excess grain in the barn, saying that I want to save some shell coins to support my retirement in the future."
Emperor Xin also smiled when he thought of Jiang Shang's wife, Ma, the famous broom star.
"Then why don't you take advantage of the sale and dare to come at night, but you are afraid of meeting your colleagues?"
"yes!"
Jiang Shang thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? He is also a doctor after all, and if others see it, they should not laugh at him to death.
"How about you divorce her, Gu Bang?!"
"ah?!"
"OK?"
"Very good!"
Jiang Shang actually felt like he had met his confidant at this moment, and his mood instantly improved.
[Thanks to what Di Xin said, Jiang Shang’s loyalty increased! 】
[Because Jiang Shang has special character, his loyalty is forced to be 0!!!]
