After years of fighting, the people of Yunqin needed a peaceful period of time to reorganize their homes. In the battle at Qianye Pass, many practitioners on Lin Xi's side also suffered considerable injuries and needed time to recover.
So throughout the autumn, the world was very peaceful.
Autumn turns to winter, and the entire Yunqin Empire will usher in a new year.
The date of Dashengao's sheep head feast has not yet been determined, but someone from Shanyin Province has already sent a fat sheep carefully selected by the local squires of Shanyin Province, and sent a plaque on behalf of all the folks in Shanyin Province.
He wrote four words: "Awesome and powerful for thousands of years".
What Dashenggao did last winter not only won the admiration of all the people of Yunqin, but also made all the people of Shanyin Province feel honored.
When the plaque from Shanyin Province was delivered to the Da Sheng Goldman family home, in a small town in Nanling Province, a trembling old woman came to the Da Dexiang family with the support of her young granddaughter.
In front of the rice shop counter, he took out a cloth bag from his pocket and opened it layer by layer.
In addition to the broken silver equivalent to the rice noodles the old woman owed on credit, the cloth bag also contained some copper coins equivalent to interest.
The clerk of Da Dexiang was a little frightened and refused to charge interest. The dispute led to the shopkeeper of Da Dexiang's rice shop. The old woman insisted on putting the copper coins into the shopkeeper's hand and said: "I know
You, Da Dexiang, had to pay interest when borrowing money from other merchants or banks, and you raised money and food for us. I don’t know how much grievances you have suffered and how much hardship you have endured in the past year. We have been in debt for so long.
We should pay back some interest on our debts, and this money may seem like money now, but last winter, it was our lives.”
After saying this, the old woman and her young granddaughter bowed deeply to the shopkeeper of Da Dexiang, and then left.
Scenes like this happen every day in many places in Yunqin.
When many Yunqin people were able to settle down and no longer needed to live on credit, they expressed their respect for Da Dexiang in various ways. Da Dexiang saved the lives of many Yunqin people, especially gave many Yunqin people
The people of Qin are courageous and dignified, so Dadexiang has naturally become the most legendary and successful business firm in Yunqin.
Da Dexiang's motorcade traveled through Yunqin, and received the highest courtesy along the way. All those who worked in Da Dexiang felt honored by the sincere respect of the people along the way, and secretly felt that they had to pay tribute to these dear and respectable people.
People do more.
This is also true glory.
…
"Catch these thieves! Quick, don't let them escape!"
"Every young and strong man, if he doesn't work hard, turns out to be a thief!"
Outside a mountain town in the southern border of DaMang, thousands of DaMang people holding torches were chasing some hurried figures in the cold night.
These running figures were like mice being chased. It was not until they got deep into the mountains that they finally got rid of the pursuit of the rough people behind them.
There are some bonfires burning in the valleys deep in the mountains.
There were some people in golden armor waiting for the return of the chased people.
Their armors are covered with many mysterious patterns unique to Tang and Tibet, and there are lotus-like tattoos on the back of their heads. In the shelter under the cliff not far from the bonfire, huge figures are crowded... These people around the bonfire are clearly gods.
Elephant Army Sergeant.
Those who fled into the valley panting like chased rats carrying many heavy packages were also sergeants of the Elephant Army.
When they unloaded their food and sat down by the campfire, every sergeant of the Elephant Corps looked extremely pale and felt very ashamed.
The mighty and powerful army of Tang and Tibet, which once looked down on the world's armies, actually fell to the level of a thief.
All the sergeants of the Divine Elephant Army are practitioners who have been inherited by some ascetics of the Tang and Tibetan Buddhism. Even without relying on those sacred elephants, they can easily kill the thousands of ordinary people in Damang who are chasing them, and even bloodbath the entire town.
However, they didn't even dare to kill anyone, so they could only steal like rats in the dark.
Because they don't dare.
They dare not let anyone discover that they are the Elephant Army or let anyone discover their traces.
Fan Mingning, the current leader of the Divine Elephant Army, was also one of the people being chased by the Damang townspeople. He took a cup of hot water handed over by his subordinates, took a deep breath and wiped off his sweat. However, he looked at the people who were under the cliff.
The huge figures were crowded together, but his hands began to tremble unconsciously.
Qingluan Academy has always been vengeful towards its enemies and not very tolerant. Although Lin Xi did not want many Black Flag Army soldiers to die in front of Qianye Pass and let them go, he knew very well that the meaning of Lin Xi's last words was God.
If any more uncomfortable news reaches his ears, he will never let go of the Elephant Army again.
After the leader of Purgatory Mountain and Ni Henian fell, and the backers like Emperor Yunqin were no longer backers, the Divine Elephant Army was no longer strong. Fan Mingning knew very well that even if Tong Wei, the popular leader of Qingluan Academy, did not take action, even if the sidemen were
Ling Han and the demon archer who followed Lin Xi secretly assassinated him along the way, and the Elephant Army was destined to perish.
According to Lin Xi's final tone, he naturally asked the Elephant Army to go back to Tangzang, surrender to Emperor Damang Fengxuan, and never appear in the world again. However, Fan Mingning was full of unwillingness... so he did not choose to return to Tangzang.
, but led the Divine Elephant Army into Damang.
I just don’t want to give up. In such a dark day, can I see the hope of revenge?
Although they can manage to survive this cold winter, those white elephants will inevitably become weak if they do not get enough food, and they will not be able to use some secret medicine to stimulate the reproduction of offspring.
The Divine Elephant Army will not become stronger and stronger, but will become weaker and weaker like those rogue tribes of the Western Yi.
And what makes Fan Mingning even more miserable is that it seems that in this entire world, there is no longer anyone the Divine Elephant Army can rely on who can cooperate with the person who killed Lin Xi.
The rest of Damang was also peaceful.
After the Qianye Pass Alliance Meeting, although the Damang army withdrew from Qianxia Mountain, the Yunqin army did not cross Qianxia Mountain and enter Damang territory.
In Da Mang's court, a peaceful revolution without resistance or bloodshed was quietly taking place.
With the support of the headmaster of Purgatory Mountain, Emperor Damang, who had some blood relationship with the old Emperor Zhan Taimang and sat on the throne, began to gradually hand over the power in his hands.
Some people who were imprisoned for being loyal to the old emperor walked out of prison and began to take over some important positions in the Da Mang court.
More people from the Thousand Demons Cave, the old emperor's people, who were hiding in the darkness, began to surface, and the entire Damang court began to be transformed intensively according to the ideas of the old emperor Damang and Zhantai Qiantang.
…
In many places in Damang and Yunqin, people reclaimed and planted land on burned land.
Many young practitioners in the world, peaceful practitioners, do not have to follow the army all the time to participate in fierce battles where life and death are uncertain.
This is a whole new world.
Tonglin Town in Donglin Province is the time of year for the annual smoked fish production.
The water in most rivers and ponds was drained, and many herrings were shipped to the central Yunqin area. Some grass carp and carp were used to make smoked fish in Tonglin Town.
Therefore, the entire Tonglin Town is filled with the smell of fish mixed with the aroma of smoked fish.
A middle-aged scholar in blue shirt was drinking sorghum wine with a basin of freshly prepared smoked fish in a clean courtyard paved with adobe bricks.
Suddenly, his wine glass fell from his hand.
Just when it was about to hit the stone table and break into pieces, he caught it again and placed it on the table.
He looked at the door with a pale face.
Lin Xi, wearing a green cotton robe, opened the wooden door and walked into his yard.
"I never thought that you would find me hiding here alone."
Looking at Lin Xi who was smiling and looking at the small courtyard leisurely, the middle-aged scribe in blue shirt said sadly.
This middle-aged scribe in blue shirt has a small sword as thin as ice flakes and as thin as fish intestines.
He called Jie Huanzhen. When he entered Zhongzhou City twenty years ago, he used this sword to become a great tribute to the Rong family.
This sword of his also appeared in the alliance in Qianye Pass.
After the grand gathering at Qianye Pass came to an end, he, like the Divine Elephant Army, knew that Emperor Yunqin and Zhongzhou City could not protect him, so he hid his flying sword and lived in seclusion here alone. However, even if
Even so, Lin Xi came to him so quickly.
Looking at his bleak face, the leisurely Lin Xi smiled and said: "I am not here to kill you. You are not Ni Henian. Now that you can start enjoying this peaceful life of smoked fish and wine, you
You don’t have to want to die."
Xie was really stunned.
"You may not have been the most powerful sword master in Zhongzhou City before, but you were the one who could make flying swords fly the fastest in Zhongzhou City." Lin Xi sat down on the stone bench in front of him and gave herself
He poured a glass of wine, drank it slowly, looked into Xie Huanzhen's eyes and said, "You are still the only direct disciple of Wenchang Jiange. Although Wenchang Jiange is only a small sect of swordsmanship that is not well-known in Qiantang Province,
However, some records of Qingluan Academy also have a lot of praise for Wenchang Sword Pavilion. Among them is a twilight sword, which is considered by our seniors at Qingluan Academy to be as exquisite as the Tianren Sword of Xianyi Academy.
Swordsmanship, but before the founding of Yunqin, no one in Wenchang Jiange had ever used this swordsmanship. I wonder if this swordsmanship has been lost or no one has mastered it?"
Jie Huanzhen's body relaxed slightly. He heard what Lin Xi meant. Then he took a deep breath, drank the wine in one gulp, toasted Lin Xi with a glass of wine, and said slowly: "It's not the way of swordsmanship.
It has been lost, not because it is too difficult to practice and no one can master it, but because this sword art is difficult to use."
Lin Xi was slightly startled and humbly asked for advice: "I would like to hear the detailed explanation."
