After Zhang Yu left Kuiwen Hall, he went to Xuanfu with two Xuanfu disciples who came to pick him up. Through some exchanges on the way, he also learned the names of these two people.
One of these two people was named Wen Guo and the other was named Wen De, and they were cousins. However, although they practiced in Xuan Mansion, they did not enter this place through Taiyang Academy.
Xuanfu adopts a large number of orphans every year and teaches them Tianxia's language and writing since they were young. These people have lived and grown up in Xuanfu or some of Xuanfu's residences since they were young. Therefore, compared with the disciples who come from the academy, they are generally more likely to be Yi.
Gain the trust of the upper echelons of the Xuan Palace.
After they reach adulthood, if they can sense the Great Dao Chapter, they will be selected into the mansion and become a disciple of a certain person. Those who cannot sense it will usually be assigned to the Xuan Palace or the various Xuan Palaces around Ruiguang.
Be an assistant.
As for the Wen brothers, they can be regarded as Xu Ying's disciples. In name, Zhang Yu and Xu Ying are brothers, so even though they have been reading the Dao Chapter for more than 20 years, if they start from
In terms of seniority, they can only be regarded as Zhang Yu's juniors, so they are very respectful and polite to him.
But there is one thing. Although these disciples have been trained by the Xuanfu since childhood, in terms of the upper limit of their cultivation, they are far lower than the students who applied through Taiyang Academy.
Because those who can study in Taiyang Academy are already the best in a hundred. Whether it is thinking ability or learning ability, it is not comparable to ordinary people. All of them can be regarded as outstanding among people.
Sixty years ago, except for those who came from the Tianxia mainland, most of the top-level combat forces in Xuan Palace were students who had previously entered Taiyang Academy.
Xu Ying often complained that the Academy did not produce talents, but in fact, in the past few decades, it is not that there were not enough people to influence the overall situation, but many of them did not stay in Xuanfu in the end, but stood on the opposite side of Xuanfu
.
Because Zhang Yu didn't know many people in Xuanfu before, he had never heard of these secrets. Originally, he wanted to continue asking in depth, but unfortunately, the Wen brothers knew only a limited amount, except for what they just mentioned.
, and can’t say anything.
When he was halfway through the journey, he saw that this place was not far from his residence. Thinking that if Xuanfu called him this time, he would probably go outside the mansion, so he said: "You two, I will go back to my residence and change my clothes. By the way,
Get something."
Wen Guo said politely: "Mr. Zhang, please do it, but please hurry up a little bit and don't delay too long. The boss is still waiting for us."
Zhang Yu also nodded. He turned back to his residence and pushed the door open. The Wen brothers were waiting at the door.
Since he had already prepared to leave the mansion, he moved quickly. He first put on a Xuanfu Taoist robe, then put on the hooded cloak, and put on the pair of vermilion gloves on his hands.
Finally, I took Xia Jianzhi in my hand.
He paid a few words of concern to Li Qinghe, then walked out, and went on the road again with the Wen brothers. The three of them quickened their pace, and in less than half a summer's time, they had already arrived at the Xuan Mansion.
He first went to the affairs hall to meet Xiang Chun, who said that Xuanfu would send some disciples out to do work every once in a while, and this time it happened to send a Xuanxiu named Cai out to maintain the stability of the place, so he asked him to go with him.
It's good to accumulate some experience.
Xiang Chun also specially warned him, asking him to be more careful and to try to protect himself first when encountering problems. Finally, he encouraged him a few words and let him out.
The two Wen brothers had been waiting below. When they saw him coming out, they came up and cupped their hands and said, "Jun Zhang, Senior Brother Cai is already waiting in Zhuyuan. Let's go over now."
Zhang Yu nodded and followed the two of them. This time he did not go to the main hall pavilion, but entered a bamboo forest along the side corridor and came to an exquisite two-story bamboo building.
A thin man wearing a dark blue robe was already waiting here.
He was about forty years old, with two beards on his lips. When he looked at people, he had a kind expression. When he saw three people approaching, he raised his hand and saluted Zhang Yu first, saying: "Junior brother Zhang, my name is Cai Jian. You can just call me Senior Brother Cai."
, in fact, I have seen you before, but you were painting in front of Xuanfu at that time, so I never came up to disturb you."
Zhang Yu clasped his hands together and said, "It turns out to be Senior Brother Cai. That's Yu's impoliteness."
"Where, where."
After Cai Yue met him, she said hello to the Wen brothers and called them into the bamboo building. On the wooden table in the middle of the room was a simple map of the Duhu Mansion, with several symbols on it.
The location marked in red.
Cai Yuan called them to the wooden case, pointed to a red mark at the far end, and said: "Since time is tight, I will keep the story short. This time we are going to Lingxuan Town, which is adjacent to the middle reaches of the Hong River.
', that place has been facing harassment by various strange monsters and indigenous barbarians. Since the withdrawal of the Shenwei Army, it has been a bit difficult for the local commanders to cope with it. This time we are going to help stabilize the situation there. "
He started from Ruiguang with his finger and drew a half-arc along the inland, and said: "Junior brother Zhang, this is our route this time. We need to pass through this plain and the ancient forest, and finally get there.
"
Zhang Yu was a little strange and asked: "Brother Cai, since the matter is urgent, why don't you take a boat from the inland river? Instead of going in such a big circle?"
Cai Yu sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. There are several garrison points of the Protectorate along the way. They are often invaded by strange monsters and forest barbarians. Recently, Xuanfu has been short of manpower, so it is also our mission there.
Moreover, I also received news that there is probably a group of heathen cultists who fled from Ruiguang and are hiding there. If we go there this time, if we encounter them, we will also clean them up."
He raised his head to look at Zhang Yu and said with a smile: "Junior brother Zhang had killed Yao Xi before he entered the palace. I heard that he also traveled to the east of Anshan. It seems that I will rely on your help this time."
Zhang Yu knew that he was speaking politely and said, "Senior Brother Cai's words are serious, I will do my best."
"By the way," Senior Brother Cai smiled and said, "I know that Junior Brother Zhang may be more worried about the Shenwei Army. After all, you have severely damaged their people. But don't worry, in recent days, the Shenwei Army will use all their men.
We have taken them all back, although there are a few outside, but as long as they are not at the level of team leaders, they pose no threat to us."
Wende asked doubtfully: "Uncle Cai, how can you be sure that what the Shenwei Army did is just to deceive others?"
Cai Jian said firmly: "After this military meeting, the Duhufu took back the power to mobilize the Shenwei Army. In other words, as long as the Shenwei Army mobilizes people above the team rate, it must report to the Duhufu, so
Once they make any move, don't try to hide it from us."
Wende doubted: "Will the Shenwei Army be so obedient?"
After all, the Shenwei Army was arrogant and domineering before, and no one looked down upon it. Will they really follow the rules this time? He expressed disbelief.
Cai Yu smiled and said, "You can rest assured this time."
Zhang Yu suddenly thought, he felt that there must be some other reason here, so he dared to make Cai Yu so sure, but it seemed that the other party didn't want to tell them yet.
Cai Yu looked at the three of them and said, "It's getting late. If Junior Brother Zhang and the two Junior Nephews are almost ready, then we can set off now."
Zhang Yu had already made preparations and said it was okay, and the Wen brothers had no objections. Seeing this, Cai Yu no longer delayed, and took the three of them out of the bamboo house and headed outside to the dense bamboo forest.
However, after walking for a while, Zhang Yu noticed that they were not going to the south exit of Xuanfu, but to the north.
Wen De whispered: "Zhang Jun, my Xuan Mansion is backed by Qishan. I heard that there is a passage on Qishan. From there, you can go straight out of Ruiguang City. We have never walked through it before."
Zhang Yu nodded inwardly. He had heard about this vaguely before, and judging from the location of Xuan Palace, Qishan itself was on the northern edge of Ruiguang City. Whether it was for convenience of access or to prevent accidents, Xuan Palace
It is necessary for the government to open a passage here.
The four of them walked through a section of road shaded by trees, entered a cave dug out of the mountain wall, and then walked onto a smooth and neat stone road.
This road in the cave is very long, but the light is not dim and the air is very circulated. After walking for about half a moment, there is a faint rumbling sound.
Soon, the four people appeared on a long ropeway, and the sound became clearer. It turned out that the water seeping out from the cracks in the rocks merged into a wide and long waterfall. Here, together with the green vines hanging around, it formed a waterfall.
A unique wonder located inside the mountain.
Cai Yu said at this time: "Come on, walk through here, there is an exit in front of you."
After passing the ropeway, there was a stone gate in front of them. Cai Yu reached forward and easily pushed it open with a rumbling sound, and motioned for the three of them to go first.
After Zhang Yu took a few steps out of the stone door, his sight suddenly opened up. What appeared in front of him was a majestic plain, and at the far end, there was the Anshan Mountains rising high on the horizon and spreading towards the end of his sight.
.
He couldn't help but feel enlightened, and said aloud: "All the valleys are now flat, the sky and the earth are all clear, the sound of the sky is far away, who can listen to it in ancient times!"
After Cai Yu came out, he led them down the mountain road. At this moment, he also noticed that there were seven or eight assistants waiting here at the foot of the mountain with their horses. The horses were all fine Qianlu horses, a total of thirty
There are six pack horses and the rest are riding horses.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Cai Yu was the first to get on his horse and said: "Our first place is the Xiaoshan Town Station. We'd better hurry up and get there tonight."
Everyone also stepped forward to select horses, and then climbed onto the saddle.
Zhang Yu glanced at it and picked a black horse with shiny aqua fur. He calmly took the reins and rode on it. At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart and glanced somewhere, but he didn't see anything.
Suddenly he heard Cai Gong's distant greeting, and as soon as his mind changed, he turned around and rode his horse. With the sound of horse hooves, the group started galloping on the magnificent plain.
On a raised mound not far from Qishan, there was a tall sword-wielding Taoist standing there, watching the group of them gradually go away.
But the next moment, there seemed to be a sound of wind blowing, and there was only a lonely mound left here, and the person there had disappeared.
