There was Jiankang City in the southern dynasty and Luoyang in the north. However, Jiankang City came from the accumulation of countless years in the southern dynasty. Whether it was Nanliang at this time, the Southern Qi Dynasty in the old dynasty, or the Southern Song Dynasty before the old dynasty, Jiankang was the city.
The capital of the country, countless years of accumulation have built this majestic city.
But the Northern Wei Dynasty was different.
The Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang seven years before the current Southern Emperor Xiao Yan ascended the throne. By this time, it was less than fourteen years ago.
From the time Emperor Yuan Hong of the Northern Wei Dynasty decided to move the capital to Luoyang until now, the royal family members of the Northern Wei Dynasty have expressed their dissatisfaction and opposition. Countless powerful families have had many bloody duels with the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
However, even so, amidst opposition and destruction, this majestic city continued to expand and grow at an alarming rate. At this time, many so-called literati in the Southern Dynasties were still sitting on the easy chairs of the past, and they were still expressing themselves in many works.
While the northern dynasty was vulgar and unworthy, the actual size of this majestic city had exceeded that of Jiankang.
The majestic city of Luoyang has a triple city circle of palace city, inner city and outer city. The outermost city wall is tens of miles long and wide. The registered permanent population of Luoyang City alone exceeds 600,000. Regardless of the city's
The area and population have exceeded Jiankang.
It is true that the reason why the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty decided to move the capital to Luoyang was that the previous capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Pingcheng, was located in the northern desert. It was too cold and arid, and the food output of the surrounding fertile fields was extremely limited. It was also not conducive to fighting against the southern dynasty and was not conducive to the war.
Rule over the vast Central Plains region.
However, in fact, both the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties military knew very well that the main reason why the Northern Wei moved its capital was because of the threats from some ethnic groups in the north, such as Rouran.
Although the Southern Dynasties experienced a dynasty change over the years, the internal and external troubles of the Northern Wei Dynasty were actually worse than those of the Southern Dynasty. However, in less than twenty years, Luoyang, the epitome of the empire, had already achieved such amazing achievements. The emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty and
The ability of the Empress Dowager standing behind him can be seen clearly.
The more people who have actually fought against the Northern Wei army, the less likely they will have contempt and disdain for the Northern Dynasty that came from behind.
For Wang Pingyang, the pace at which the Northern Wei Dynasty became powerful was so fast that it was awe-inspiring, but he had never thought about it before. As a practitioner of the Southern Dynasties, especially in the battle of Zhongli City, the Tie Ce Army that caused fatal damage to the Northern Wei Dynasty
One of them actually came to this majestic city so quickly and in this way.
"Do you trust Bai Yuelu that much?"
Next to the temporarily stopped carriage, an ordinary carriage came. A girl wearing ordinary coarse clothes got out of the carriage, but walked to Wang Pingyang's side, stood beside him, and looked at the majestic building with him.
City, and then asked softly.
Wang Pingyang smiled bitterly. He looked at the thin girl and said, "So Bai Yuelu is yours?"
This girl is Yuan Yan.
She looked at the city where she had lived for a long time, but what she thought about was everything about herself and Lin Yi in Meishan. The emotions deep in her eyes were extremely complicated, "Have you guessed who I am?"
"If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who would have done such a thing?"
Wang Pingyang said with emotion: "The Demon Sect and his tribe must have tried every means to find traces of me in the Southern Dynasties, but he could never imagine that we would be in Luoyang instead, beside the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty."
"You will go to the White Horse Temple first. After that, the Yongning Temple in the palace will start preparing to build a temple tower. You will enter the palace with the craftsmen who made the preliminary preparations. As the construction supervisor, you, the president, will stay in the palace.
"Yuan Yan said: "Yongning Temple has plenty of spiritual energy, you can use it as much as you need to practice."
Wang Pingyang nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
Yuan Yan took a deep breath and turned back to her carriage, but she only took a step, stopped, turned to look at him and asked: "In your eyes, what kind of person is Lin Yi?"
people?"
What kind of person?
This is a very broad question.
Faced with a question like this, there can be countless answers.
But Wang Pingyang looked into her eyes and knew what she wanted to hear.
"He is smart enough. This kind of smartness is not only that he can see through and guess, but also that he guesses without saying anything." Wang Pingyang looked at her, smiled slightly, and said: "On the way to the north, I already guessed
It is possible that people like him may have vaguely known that Bai Yuelu is related to you. But since he knows, but still maintains absolute trust in Bai Yuelu, you should naturally understand what he means."
Yuan Yan remained silent.
Then she said nothing more, nodded slowly, then turned around and walked back to the carriage.
Naturally, words like "heart to heart" cannot be used between her and Lin Yi. It is just pure sympathy, but it is not enough to describe the emotions between her and Lin Yi. But at least she is sure that she has not misjudged this person, and the other party can understand it.
what she meant.
In this troubled year, for her at this time, it is already the greatest satisfaction.
In the dim car, her lips and hands trembled slightly.
…
"Went to Tian Mu Wa's village?"
"None of the people in the sword pavilion followed?"
On the official road outside the city of Xiping County, two fast horses stopped. On these two fast horses, there were two riders dressed in black, both of them smelled of dust. Both of them were wearing a strange hat.
The Aoki mask looks very weird.
Listening to the report from a middle-aged man waiting on the road, the two riders were overjoyed.
The two fast horses did not stop and ran straight towards the border of Ailao Mountain.
When it was dark, on a mountain road in Ailao Mountain, several practitioners wearing night clothes finally waited for the arrival of the two riders.
The two riders had already dismounted and walked, but after a long journey, their eyes were still shining in the dark night.
"Mr. Fei Da."
These practitioners wearing night clothes all knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
"Um?"
The two black-shirted men wearing strange Aoki masks glanced at each other and said, "Mr. Zhu hasn't arrived yet?"
"If you don't come, I don't need to show up."
A voice suddenly sounded. Several practitioners who were kneeling on the ground looked towards the place where the sound came from in disbelief. They saw a practitioner in green clothes walking slowly out of the forest.
This practitioner was about thirty years old, with nothing out of the ordinary about his facial features, but his complexion was frighteningly white, especially in the dark mountains and forests, this complexion was even more frightening.
Looking at the frightening white-faced man in green shirt, one of the men in black shirt wearing a green wood mask smiled and took off the mask. This man looked a bit old, but he was the chief minister of the Xiao family.
Virtual.
"Who is this?"
The guest in green shirt, whom he called Mr. Zhu, nodded in greeting and looked at the other guest in black shirt who was still wearing a mask and asked.
