A carriage slowly moved along the northeast direction, the carriage was empty, the groom was a plainly dressed young boy, Fengshen Yulang, if it was the son of a eunuch, with this skin, if he could still write a good hand, then in the officialdom most of them could be smooth sailing, but unfortunately it should be a cheap person who is not allowed to study the imperial examination.
Liyang restructured and set up a road above the state, as far as the territory of each province is concerned, King Yan is in southern Xinjiang, the most vast, and the Guangling Road that the vassal king Zhao Yi is staring at is close behind, but the richness of the two is completely incomparable, and half of the world's taxes are out of Guangling, which is not nonsense.
It's just that now Guangling Road is not very peaceful, and there are still people on the post road to rely on the relationship to pass, but now the wind and rain are coming, and it is clear that the war is imminent, and more than a dozen main post roads around Guangling Road are extremely strict, and the roles other than the officers and soldiers are not allowed to encroach.
Guangling Road border set up a lot of swords and halberds forest checkpoints, only allowed to go out but not allowed to enter, obviously the Western Chu rebels and thieves in the wall first, cut the land and pretended to be self-proclaimed, and then the Qingye matter, then changed to Liyang to do, and strive to catch turtles in the urn.
Several feudal kings carrying the banner of Jingnan were stationed on the border, most of them cherished their feathers, and their own soldiers were still not guilty of any crimes, but some second- and third-rate generals who held the power of chicken ribs and could not participate in the war at the first time, they smelled a big fishy smell, horses have no night grass and no fat, there are many thieves around the border to fish in troubled waters, and there are a few rebellious acts that have been exposed, but they are definitely not as serious as the local government garrison reported.
Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits moved when they heard the wind, and this was the real soldier who was like a grate, so that many rich Zhuangzi who were completely powerful in self-protection complained bitterly, and finally even those who were greedy for the state and county officials were suddenly fat, and they didn't care about eating, and they wantonly sent their henchmen to find rich people other than their in-laws, nominally distributing amulets, promising that when the thieves were plundering, the government would definitely send troops to protect the territory and the people, and they wanted them to rest assured, no one was stupid, so they had to obediently squeeze out a smiling face, and send boxes of gold and silver, and the right to break the disaster and eliminate the disaster.
Nowadays, even a lot of big money and silver tickets with feet in the capital don't work, as long as there is real gold and silver, the latter can only scold in private with indignation.
Now if you want to go to the East China Sea Wudi City, unless you go around a big circle, you can only pass through Guangling Road, and you can only take the easternmost "wild road", Xu Fengnian, who became a horseman, has already crossed the border, and I have seen several times during the period to make money by taking advantage of the chaos, all of which happened in the west "Da Chu" and Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling in Liyang, in the two areas, one of which is more than 30 thieves, can everyone ride a horse and wear armor, although most of the weapons are rusty, but there is no doubt that the Hyogo equipment of the old Guangling Road is certain, which shows that in the past 20 years, those outsiders of Liyang officials, How in the territory is that the ears do not listen to the things outside the window, and only scrape the people's grease ointment.
But after Xu Fengnian arrived in the east, the situation was going to improve, he was walking on foot at first, and then met a fierce thief on the mountain road, was chasing and killing a wealthy family far away from the land of right and wrong, at that time more than a dozen young and strong nursing homes were dead, Xu Fengnian slaughtered a few bandits who were about to attack women and children, and killed a few people who were dizzy, and did not chase them all, but escaped by the thieves, at that time a famous young man wearing a Confucian shirt, his eyes were gloomy staring at him, a ranger who was a life-saving benefactor, said that he was willing to contribute a hundred catties of gold, and asked him to kill all the villains to avenge the clansmen, Xu Fengnian ignored it, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, is a person who is a member of the imperial court, but has not yet entered the department, he used to be a local prodigy, and he was naturally deeply valued in the clan, and he was waiting for him to go to the lintel, so it was inevitable to raise a condescending arrogance, and the young man saw that this young who walked the rivers and lakes had no chivalrous character, and he suffered a tragedy, so he was open-mouthed, and said a few extremely ugly words, Xu Fengnian was too lazy to worry about a child, Continue to walk, but the old man in charge of this small scholar clan is not unkind, and hurriedly stepped forward, reprimanded the eldest grandson for his rudeness, and sent a carriage as a gesture to repay the favor, and carefully gave a small stack of silver tickets, the old man originally wanted to ask Xu Fengnian to help escort him to the Ansheng place further south, after some temptation, he was no longer reluctant, in fact, the carriage was good, the three or four hundred taels of silver were all external objects, not to mention that the nurse who acted as a groom died so much, and a few carriages became a burden, and they had to be abandoned.
Xu Fengnian didn't refuse, this is why he has the current belongings, and then there are some small grass bandits who are not long-eyed to come forward to disturb them, and they are all driven away with understatement, which reminds the absent-minded Xu Fengnian of many old people, such as the big gang of people in Qingcheng Mountain, who is not like a thief at all, as for the chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes, he remembered He Zhu who rode a horse to Chunshen Lake to report to the girl, Xu Fengnian felt that he had walked through the rivers and lakes a few times, and the so-called heroines had also seen a lot, but counting them, it might be Liu Nirong of the Fish and Dragon Gang, and Zhou Qinhu, who met Gu Dazu by the way, is more in line with the impression of a heroine in his mind, their martial arts are mediocre, and their appearance is not stunning, and if they met earlier, it is really far from the fairy of the rivers and lakes that they longed for when they were young, when I was a child, I always thought that heroines were carved out of a mold, nothing more than white clothes fluttering, not eating fireworks in the world, I feel that I don't have to eat, drink and shit for the rest of my life, let alone fart and shit, now Xu Fengnian will definitely not be so naïve to take it for granted.
Xu Fengnian insisted at the beginning that the restoration of Western Chu was just Cao Changqing's own countercurrent, destined to fail to win the general trend of the world, and could only temporarily live in a corner, and it was difficult to speak alone, and then became the merit of the new generation of young generals in Liyang, and helped the Spring and Autumn veterans to withdraw from the temple before blooming a bright afterglow, but along the way, I saw many remnants of the older generation of Western Chu who had endured humiliation and burdens for more than 20 years, and they were still silent for the time being, but Xu Fengnian knew that the more they forbear, the more the Liyang officers and soldiers squeezed, Cao Changqing, as the backbone of Xin Chu, may not be really that vulnerable.
The smoke of war will kill many people, but it is destined that a small number of people will come to the fore and eventually occupy a firm place in history.
Now the key depends on whether there are more Western Chu or more Liyang, and intuition tells Xu Fengnian that there are more of the latter in numbers, but Western Chu has been prone to giant Liang talents since ancient times, and Yiming has become a blockbuster, maybe one or two young handsome people who inherit Cao Changqing's mantle will appear.
The carriage temporarily stopped in the northeast border area of Guangling Road, at this time the entrance and exit portal has been completely closed around Guangling Road, this is the last hidden exit portal of Guangling Road, many people with Jianghu background and related doors, have poured into Emperor Wu City for refuge, Zhao Yi, a member of the vassal king, will guard here, probably because of the master's instructions, not afraid of the impeachment of the official, choose to turn a blind eye, of course, some people want to leave, it is impossible not to lose a layer of skin, conservative estimates, Zhao Yi's Chunxue Building in just two decades, There were more than two million taels of silver in the account, not to mention the countless antiques and calligraphy and paintings, all of which were transported to the end of the Guangling River one by one.
There are probably 3,000 soldiers and strong elite Zhao family light cavalry guard, this side of the road is crowded, but not chaotic, as for the thickness of the family at a glance, there is confidence, as long as there is a sufficient amount of silver, holding three thousand horses of the young famous general Song Li, who can even let people enter the post road to hurry, the silver is not enough, it is not in the way, as long as there is a woman at home who is not cheesy, both hands can be offered.
Guangling Road is known up and down the Confucian general Song Li, who likes women, does not love dead things in his life, and then the valuable utensils that are priceless, it is also said that he will give away, but he is only fond of collecting beautiful women, but Song Li, who is in the year of his establishment, even if he has been drunk on the knee of a beautiful woman who reviews a rouge woman, is still not satisfied, it is rumored that there are no less than 20 people in the family, there are women who died in the Spring and Autumn Dynasty royal family who were in exile, there are young chivalrous women who were born in the rivers and lakes, and there are women who are willing to go out of the wall for him from the family gate valve, and among these women, Undoubtedly, the willow banana deer ranked sixth on the new rouge rating is the most prestigious, this weak woman can be described as ill-fated, originally in the hands of many people, but fortunately was not named by the world with the word "red face".
Song Li's origin has always been vague, and it feels like he has inexplicably become an upstart celebrity in Chunxue Building, the military aircraft center of Guangling Road, but since then, the vassal king has been deeply trusted, and His Royal Highness Zhao Bi is a brother, and what is even more incredible is that Zhao Bi, the infamous king and grandson of the Zhao family, can be calm and calm to the fat and thin beauty in Song Li's family, and even to the willow banana deer, he can respectfully call his sister-in-law.
Moreover, Chunxuelou is divided into two camps, Lu Shengxiang, Zhang Erbao and other military generals who have been promoted in Beijing are in the same family, and they have always been at odds with the chief staff who has a bumpy career because of his ugly appearance, but Song Li can be left and right.
Xu Fengnian lived in an inconspicuous inn in the military town, the price has doubled several times, it costs thirty taels of silver a day, and he can't live in a second-class room, and because people come and go too often, the sloppy bedding can smell a strong smell of sweat and sourness, and the horse grass for pulling carts and horses has to be counted as silver, which is more expensive than the meals of the guests on other roads, but still no one dares to complain.
Xu Fengnian's room was at the end of the corridor on the second floor, small and dark, and on the way to the crossing, the initial silver ticket had to be converted in half, and it had already been spent.
If Xu Fengnian wants to reach the ownerless East China Sea Martial Emperor City faster, it will be easy, but the timing is not right at the moment, if he wants to really succeed, it is better to go sooner rather than to go, and he also wants to take advantage of this time to take a few more glances at the people's livelihood in Western Chu.
At dusk, Xu Fengnian went downstairs to make do with dinner, chewed slowly, and asked for a pot of tea.
The building was mostly full of talkative high-rollers, drinking and drinking tea, and Xu Fengnian found that almost no remnants who had taken root in Western Chu left their hometowns to go north.
The territory of Liyang in the Spring and Autumn Period is already vast, because there are so many powerful vassal kings in the hands of the first emperor to seal the territory, and many news that is not light or heavy will be blocked by the region, but there will still be some things that are of interest to the government and the opposition.
One is when Western Chu rebelled, and the other is when he heard the news of the death of the young vassal king of Beiliang, this death will of course be a great news.
In the eyes of many people, even if Bei Liang has been surnamed Xu for more than 20 years, but since Xu Xiao is dead, then simply give it to Chen Zhibao, who has been a period of time, to be considered all right, in the eyes of the world, King Xinliang is the scoundrel of the dove occupying the magpie's nest, and Chen Zhibao, the king of Shu, can lead two places with one king, and the west line of Liyang can be too peaceful, which is better than giving the prodigal son Xu Fengnian squandered 300,000 male armor in the world for no reason.
At this time, the inn is talking about the second thing, after all, the people in the inn are more reckless, and the restoration of Western Chu will not return to the country, as long as it does not affect the pond fish, it will be like that, but there is no need to have Wang Xianzhi, who has a fiefdom, that is an old monster who is "called the emperor" with the emperor of the Zhao family, talking about this city lord of Emperor Wu, everyone is energetic.
There is a table of high-rollers in the inn who look different from the people in the rivers and lakes, solemn and murderous, most of them are sabers, and the style is the same, people with a discerning eye can see that this table has an official identity, not to mention that there are several servants with the same sabers at the door of the store, and their eyes are sharp, and they look at everyone with the arrogant eyes of a person looking at a dog.
There were three men and one woman at the table, the woman bowed her head to eat, occasionally raised her head, her posture was ordinary, but there was a pair of aura eyes that made people forget the vulgarity, especially when she looked forward to it, it was enough to add too much color to her, there was a short and sturdy man in his thirties sitting next to her, and the other two swords, one old and one young, the old man was dressed in brocade clothes, and when he heard the boastful talk in the inn, he couldn't help but have a sarcastic face, probably the person at the mouth of the well ridiculing the frog at the bottom of the well.
