Chapter 5 The Legend of the Borderland (Part 2)—Heavy Snow in the God City (Part 1)
Long Ying was stunned when he heard this, and remembered that Wu Zhao had said that they were destined enemies and could not escape.
Zhang Jianzhi said: "If there is nothing else, I will resign."
Long Ying's heart moved and he asked: "Do you know anyone who is Master Zhang's acquaintance who is proficient in unofficial history?"
Zhang Jianzhi said happily: "Both official and unofficial histories are involved in it, so I am now a long-term historian."
Long Ying said happily: "Master Zhang, have you ever heard of a person named Yan Fei?"
Zhang Jianzhi said calmly: "Why did Mr. Long become interested in this life?"
Long Ying secretly complained that Zhang Jianzhi was not as shrewd as Di Renjie. He clearly took this opportunity to figure out his own background by making insinuations, but he had no choice but to answer.
Said: "This has something to do with one of my elders. This person was mentioned twice in his notes."
Zhang Jianzhi said: "What is so unique about this person and why does Mr. Long always pay attention to him?"
Long Ying was worried and said: "Every time he is mentioned, Yan Fei is said to be a person with immortality, so the boy's curiosity is aroused, but after asking around, there is still no one who has heard of his name."
Zhang Jianzhi said: "Brother Long's elder has a surname of Gao?"
Long Ying couldn't resist and said with a wry smile: "Master Zhang, please spare me, please?"
Zhang Jianzhi laughed heartily, glanced at him with deep meaning, and said, "Seeing that Brother Long rescued King Luling from the siege, I will tell you everything I know."
Long Ying said happily: "Master Zhang really knows who Yan Fei is?"
Zhang Jianzhi nodded and said: "Mr. Long is asking the right person. Yan Fei is not found in official and unofficial history. He only exists in storytellers. Because Xiaguan has loved collecting storytelling stories since he was young. So not only has he heard about Yan Fei, but also
It will take some research."
Long Ying was overjoyed, deeply grateful to have won this person, and said: "I would like to hear the details."
Zhang Jianzhi said calmly: "Mr. Long, aren't you afraid that your subordinates will deduce your origin from this person?"
Long Ying said calmly: "Then I have no choice but to accept my fate."
Zhang Jianzhi pondered for a while, as if sorting out the relevant data in his memory, and said: "There are roughly more than ten different versions of the story about Yan Fei. It is said that all versions are derived from a story called "Legend of the Border".
, the author's name has long been forgotten. There is a rather absurd theory that this book was once owned by Liu Yu, the founder of the Southern Dynasty, and he kept it on his desk and read it from time to time. According to the official, this is just a storyteller using it to promote himself.
Talking about Ben’s worth should not be done truthfully.”
Long Ying asked: "Does this original still exist in the world?"
Zhang Jianzhi said: "Since the return of Liu Yu, through the Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, Sui, and Tang dynasties, there have been continuous wars, and countless classics have been lost. I have searched the relevant official and unofficial histories, and no one has mentioned it again.
As for this book, it seems that it was destroyed by the war."
Long Ying thought hard: "If this book is indeed owned by Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, as the legend says, then it should have been written in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Alas! My mother!"
Zhang Jianzhi said: "Mr. Long, don't you want to know the content?"
Long Ying said absently: "What is it?"
Zhang Jianzhi said: "It is about a place called Bianhuang, and it does exist. It is located between the Huaihe River and the Sishui River. At that time, the Jin Dynasty was located on the left side of the Yangtze River. There were continuous wars, and a large area of land between the two rivers was destroyed to pieces.
There are no tiles left, and it has become a no man's land. In this ghostland-like place, the Northern and Southern Ronins borrowed an abandoned city to build Bianhuangji, which prospered to an unbelievable level, and Yan Fei was the number one swordsman in Bianhuang.
.The subject matter is very good, but in my opinion, it is very likely that Yan Fei is a fiction, and even the Bianhuang Collection is also a fiction."
Long Ying let out a breath of cold air, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Why do you have this idea?"
Zhang Jianzhi said: "Because the story is too absurd and bizarre, it is said that Liu Yu, Yan Fei and Tuoba Gui, the founder of the Northern Dynasty, once fought together here to fight against the enemies of the north and south. They lost the border collection twice, but in the end they were able to Counterattack and recovery is absolutely impossible from a military point of view."
Long Ying said: "Is it really impossible?"
Zhang Jianzhi said: "Do you know who the enemies of Bianhuangji were? They were the most powerful people in the south and north at that time, including Murong Chui, Huan Xuan and Sima Daozi. The most ridiculous thing is that in the end, Bianhuang Ji and Tuoba Guilian The defeat of Murong Chui was not through a big battle, but a competition between Yan Fei and Murong Chui. Yan Fei hit Murong Chui into a rolling gourd with just one move. The steel spear was broken into two pieces, which is ridiculous in the world. Most of all, there is nothing more than this.”
Long Ying scratched his head and said, "It's really ridiculous. Where did Yan Fei go after that?"
Zhang Jianzhi said with a smile: "Of course he became an immortal or a saint. If he were not an immortal, how could he defeat Murong Chui, who was known as the invincible at that time, with one move? Hahaha!"
Long Ying stared at him blankly.
Zhang Jianzhi said: "Mr. Long, do you have any other questions?"
Long Ying said slowly: "From the founding of the Liu Song Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, how many eras have gone through."
Zhang Jianzhi said in surprise: "It seems that Mr. Long believes that Bianhuangji and Yan Fei are indeed involved. I'll let my official do the math, it's about one hundred and sixty years."
Long Yingju said in shock: "One hundred and sixty years!"
Zhang Jianzhi was surprised and said: "Why are you so shocked, sir?"
Long Ying took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing. Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your advice."
Royal study room.
Long Ying buried his head in writing, when Wu Zhao came, with a spring breeze on his face, he went straight to Long Ying's table and said happily: "Mr. Long, do you know that you accidentally hit me last night and made great contributions to me?"
Long Ying continued to write, confused and said: "Last night, the common people were just fighting and killing. How can they perform meritorious service for the Holy One?"
Wu Zhao said with a smile: "Mr. Long doesn't know something. Hengkong Muye's coming east this time is not an easy one. He should have a secret mission entrusted by King Zanpu of Tubo to find out the reality of our great Zhou Dynasty. The Tubo people have risen since Songtsen Gampo. With strong soldiers and strong horses, all the neighboring countries were no match for them. They were annihilated one by one, unified the plateau, and the country became more prosperous. When Taizong was excluded, he was defeated by Hou Junji. He slightly reduced his intention to invade eastward, but the country's power did not decline, with hundreds of thousands of troops. Therefore, Taizong had no choice but to marry the princess with Wen."
Long Ying said: "Didn't they just be defeated by the Holy Emperor's troops?"
Wu Zhao sighed: "Sir, what you are referring to is the Battle of Qinghai. I sent our great general Hei Chichang to lead an army to attack the Tibetan army on the border. Although our army's strength is above it, the formal confrontation is not very... His opponent was defeated in the first battle. Fortunately, Heijichang led the army wisely and was defeated. Later, Heijichang personally led five thousand dead soldiers to attack the Tibetan camp at night, causing the Tibetans to retreat in chaos. The victory was extremely dangerous. Shang Zanpu took the opportunity to regain power from the powerful ministers, so Tibet was unable to invade for a while."
Looking out the window, he slowly said: "Twenty-one years ago, the late emperor was still in power. At my suggestion, he sent generals Xue Rengui, Ashina Daozhen and others to attack Tubo. The Tubo army was defeated at Dafeichuan. Tubo took advantage of the situation and crossed over. Kunlun Mountain captured the four towns of Qiuci, Yanqi, Khotan, and Shule, greatly expanding its territory, reaching the Turks in the north, covering an area of more than 10,000 miles, and its power was even greater than that of the Turks, making it a major trouble for the Central Plains."
Long Ying listened with admiration in his heart. As early as twenty years ago, Wu Zhao had a clear understanding of the situation between the enemy and the enemy in the mainland outside the Great Wall. If it were an ordinary emperor, he might not be able to figure out the names of places and countries, and how to dispatch troops and generals?
Wu Zhao was obviously triggered by Hengkong Makino's eastward visit to Xisai, and he was very excited about the conversation. He continued: "Twelve years ago, in the first year of Tiaolu, the Western Turks and Tibetans jointly invaded our Anxi Protectorate.
Our army was repulsed, but the vitality of the border guards was severely damaged, and they had to abandon Anxi. Since then, control of the Tarim Basin has passed into the hands of Tubo. The defeat of Qinghai did not damage the national power of Tibet. It can be seen that if we are slightly weaker in China
, the Tubo army will definitely come back. If Hengkong Muye defeats all the masters from China this time, it will make the Tubo people who advocate heroic force feel contempt, and the consequences are foreseeable, which is something I never want to see. "
Long Ying was surprised and said: "Then why doesn't the Holy Lord let the common people go to war?"
Wu Zhao returned his gaze to Longying and said with a smile: "In order to deal with Hengkong Makino's probing operation, which he called using force to make friends, he did not hesitate to deploy troops and generals in order to weaken his spirit. Little did he know that this man's swordsmanship was so high that he was far away.
I estimate that none of the so-called famous masters who are usually powerful in this area can go through ten moves in his hands. There are only a handful of people in China who can compete with him. Some are due to their status.
, are not suitable for fighting, and some disdain such open competitions. Those who are similar in age and have the strength to fight, the remaining three young masters, Wan Renyu and Fu Junhou, have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Enough strength to share the beauty with Hengkong Makino."
Long Ying forgot that Wu Zhao still had not answered his question and asked: "Who is Fu Junhou?"
Wu Zhao said: "Fu Junhou is a master who has risen in the south in recent years. He is nicknamed the 'Gun Lord'. He is extremely brave and invincible. I have arranged for him to compete with Hengkong Muye in Yangzhou, so he was not included in the previous meeting."
Don’t take the competition in the capital of the gods to heart.”
Long Ying said curiously: "Wan Renyu is in the capital of the gods. Why did the Holy One choose the distance and not let him fight?"
Wu Zhao said calmly and calmly: "Wan Renyu is known as the best swordsman in China after Marshal Kou Zhong. If anything goes wrong, the impact on the martial arts community in China will be so serious that it is difficult to estimate. I really don't want to risk this."
It is dangerous, so I asked the elder to persuade him privately to give up the idea of going to war." He also said: "As for Feng Guoting, he is my imperial swordsman, and he is also a North Gate bachelor who is outstanding in all aspects of Chinese culture and martial arts. He will definitely be the number one master in the imperial court. If
His defeat at the hands of foreigners had a huge impact on the morale and morale of our Zhou army, which is foreseeable."
Long Ying didn't expect that Hengkong Muye would have so many thoughts and considerations behind using martial arts to make friends. He scratched his head and said, "What about the common people? There should be no consequences if we lose."
Wu Zhao chuckled and said, "Mr. Long likes to scratch his head very much. He looks silly and weird."
Seeing her smiling face, Long Ying felt relaxed and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is in a good mood today."
Wu Zhao nodded and said: "Since I ascended the throne, I have never had such a free and beautiful heart, and there is no need to hide it in front of Mr. Long. Well! As for you..."
Long Ying was itched by her betrayal and asked: "How are you doing, little people?"
Wu Zhao said softly: "Mr. Long's demon species are ever-changing and have vast magical powers. If you can let go and fight Hengkong Makino in a life-and-death battle, I will win for you. However, due to various restrictions in the competition in the hall, Hengkong Makino will still win.
Da. I don’t want to see Feng Guoting and Wan Renyu lose, let alone see my husband lose.” (To be continued)
