Fengyun County is also an ancient city with hundreds of years of history. It already had the size of a county before the founding of Dayu. However, this place is located within the jurisdiction of Yunzhou, and Yunzhou has always been a battleground for military strategists. Therefore, even if it has been hundreds of years, Fengyun County
The size of Yun County's county seat has not changed much since it was first established as a county.
This place in Yunzhou is probably the place of suffering for people who made mistakes in their previous lives and are reincarnated in this life.
Before the founding of Dayu, the sufferings here could even pile up to the point of being unbelievable.
When Dongbo was in great power, the Yunzhou area was the main battlefield for Dongbo's war with the Central Plains countries. Within a radius of two thousand miles, people were slaughtered to death more than once.
When everyone is dead, a group of people will move here, and when everyone is dead, they will move here again.
The battlefield between the Loufan people and the Dongbo people also took place here. At that time, the Loufan people who had not yet learned what morality and etiquette were were even more barbaric and even ate people from the Central Plains. Moreover, they also felt that girls tasted the best.
They killed most of the men, and almost all the remaining ones were captured and made into slaves. The old women were executed by them, while the young women were considered delicacies to them.
After Dayu was founded, Emperor Taizu relied on his almost infinite fighting spirit and unyielding spirit to drive the Dongbo people out of Yunzhou. After another two hundred years of governance, Yunzhou became prosperous as it is now.
Another reason why Fengyun County's population does not seem to have developed much is that it is very close to Yunzhou City, but it is less than three hundred miles away.
Wealthier people are trying their best to move to big cities, while the rest in small towns are simple people.
Lin Ye rode his unconvincing little donkey to the gate of Fengyun County. He raised his head and looked at it. The carvings above the city gate were a bit blurry and had never been repaired.
Several soldiers on duty at the city gate sat lazily on chairs to rest. They would only get up to check when they saw someone approaching.
This scene, for some reason, reminded Lin Ye of the first time he arrived in Yunzhou City.
There were also a few lazy-looking city gate guards, and it was also a day that looked good. Someone got up and walked towards him, and there was also a guy who stretched out his hand towards Lin Ye.
What's even more amazing is that Lin Ye found that the chief on duty who stretched out his hand towards him actually looked familiar.
That day, outside Yunzhou City, a guard extended his hand to Lin Ye to ask for passing money. Lin Ye gave him a high-five happily...
Lin Ye felt familiar when he saw him, and soon remembered that this was the guy who entered Yunzhou City in the first place.
It's normal to be deeply impressed, because it was the first time Lin Ye walked into a bustling city. It was the first time Lin Ye encountered people in official uniforms asking for money, so the impression was deep enough.
And this doorman had to come into contact with so many people every day and ask for money from so many people every day. There was absolutely no reason to remember Lin Ye, but Lin Ye could tell that this doorman really recognized him.
If under normal circumstances, a person with such an identity recognized Lin Ye, the only reasonable explanation is that he later learned that Lin Ye had become a big shot, and recalled that he had met a somewhat interesting young man with the same name, so he was shocked
, will remember it firmly.
So when he saw Lin Ye again, he must be terrified.
But he didn't, he just showed a gentle smile that made it clear what he meant at a glance.
haven't seen you for a long time.
It was precisely because of this smile that Lin Ye reacted instantly... So that's it.
"It seems that the general has guessed something."
The doorman asked with a smile.
Lin Ye also laughed, clasped his fists towards the doorman and asked, "Brother?"
The guard did not refuse or evade, but calmly accepted Lin Ye's gesture of clasping his fists and bowing. He nodded: "You can call it that, after all, we are all my mother-in-law's children."
"It's just that I don't know my brother's name yet."
"My name is Fu Cundong."
The doorman said with a slight embarrassment: "After all, neither of my parents had read books, and my family lived in the east end of the village, so I had this name when I was born. Later, a scholar said that my name was elegant. I felt very happy at the time, but in fact
I can’t understand what’s so indecent about this bad name.”
"Later I had a younger brother. I was already ten years old at the time. I asked my father, "You can't let your younger brother also be called Cuntong. My father said of course not, so my younger brother was also named Fu. Later, my younger brother also called me Cuntong."
I met a scholar and said that my brother's name is not ordinary... Scholars are really weird."
Lin Ye smiled.
He looked back at the doormen: "These are all trustworthy people. We have been together for several years."
Lin Ye clasped his fists again, but those few quickly leaned over and saluted. Obviously, they were not children adopted by his mother-in-law.
"Let's go, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Fu Cundong said as he walked: "As soon as I saw the general, I remembered the time when the general first arrived in Yunzhou City. In a blink of an eye, a long time has passed."
Lin Ye also laughed.
"My eldest brother wrote to me before you went to Yunzhou, asking me to pay attention to you."
Fu Cundong smiled and said, "I had never seen you before, but I knew it was you when I first saw you."
Lin Ye smiled and asked: "Why?"
Fu Cuntong said: "I don't know why, but I just feel that you are different from others. It's not that I want to flatter you and say that you were different back then, but I just look a little... deficient."
Lin Ye burst out laughing.
He likes this way of chatting so much, and is not always respectful to him.
"The people waiting here are another group of people, and they have different responsibilities from the brothers you met before."
Fu Cundong led him to the door of a large house, which seemed to be the home of the top rich man in this small county.
Not all wealthy households want to move to Yunzhou, there are also people who find it difficult to leave their homeland, even if it is only a mere two to three hundred miles away.
At the door of this mansion, Lin Ye saw a middle-aged man wearing a green official robe. He seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
He has a very kind-hearted appearance, a little bit fatter, but he is not greasy, but has a natural sense of intimacy.
"You can guess from the look in the general's eyes that the general has no impression of me."
&nb The county magistrate in green robe walked down the steps, leaned towards Lin Ye and saluted: "Xiaoguan Fengyun County Magistrate Shi Yicheng pays homage to the general."
Lin Ye quickly stretched out his hand to support him: "He is also my brother."
Shi Yicheng nodded and said, "Yes."
Lin Ye asked with a look of shame: "So, when was the first time you met your brother?"
Shi Yicheng said: "At that time, I was working under the chief arrester Lei Fenglei in Yunzhou City. I was a civil servant in charge of recording case files. I met the general at that time, but I knew who the general was at that time. Of course, the general would not notice me.
.”
Only then did Lin Ye understand why Taishang Shengjun said that if he came to Fengyun County, he would meet some people he knew and learn about some things about the past that he didn't know.
Shi Yicheng made an invitation gesture, and Lin Ye followed him into the mansion.
Although it is said to be a big house, it is certainly one of the best in this small county. If it were placed in Yunzhou City, it would not be very eye-catching.
Shi Yicheng said: "Later, the situation in Yunzhou became complicated, and because I moved around in advance to clear things up, I came to Fengyun County to be an official... Wuwei County is the Shoushan Treasury, and this place is a backup."
As soon as he entered the main courtyard, Lin Ye saw at least hundreds of swordsmen wearing bamboo hats standing in the courtyard. Everyone looked like the long, sheathless swords in their arms, straight and sharp.
"I've met the general!"
Hundreds of people saluted in unison.
Lin Ye stood in awe and returned the gift.
Shi Yicheng said: "Your Majesty has sent people here a long time ago, saying that General, you will pass by this place on your way back to Geling, and you will probably go back alone, so you asked me to summon my brothers here. From now on, I will follow the General and serve as the general."
General's service."
Lin Ye's heart was slightly shaken.
Sure enough, Taishang Shengjun guessed that he couldn't stay in Caoshu City and guessed that he would sneak back from Caoshu City.
Thinking about it again, when he met Taishang Shengjun and the others by chance while riding a donkey...how could it be a chance encounter?
"Your Majesty said that the general has many unanswered questions about the situation in Yunzhou at that time. If the general wants to know anything, just ask, and we will tell you everything we know."
Lin Ye asked: "Brother, when you went to your mother-in-law, did your mother-in-law find you, or did you go there on your own initiative?"
Shi Yicheng said: "This is the difference. The general has met Sui Qingqu and Big Brother before. They and we are two different groups of people."
"For example, my eldest brother and Sui Qingqu were both close to General Liu Jigong. Some of them were personal soldiers of the general, and some of them were family members of the fallen soldiers of the Cowardly Army. They were willing to protect their mother-in-law."
"Like me, like us..."
Shi Yicheng looked at the men holding knives.
"His Majesty arranged for us to go there."
Lin Ye nodded. In fact, he had a guess, but he had never been able to confirm it before, so he couldn't directly ask the Supreme Saint.
"At that time, the general was in trouble in northern Xinjiang."
After Shi Yicheng asked Lin Ye to take a seat, he continued: "Your Majesty guessed that those people may not let my mother-in-law go. Even if she poses no threat to them, they will eradicate her."
"So, His Majesty immediately dispatched a group of people to Yunzhou, and at the same time sent people to another part of Yunzhou to ask for an audience with Mr. Qian, the master of Wanxiang Sect."
Hearing this, Lin Ye's heart shook again.
Sure enough... Mr. Qian and Your Majesty have been in contact for a long time, and they were in contact not long after the incident with the Cowardly Army.
Shi Yicheng said: "Your Majesty knew from the beginning that General Liu Jigong was born in Wanxiang Clan, and the General also introduced Mr. Qian to Your Majesty."
"It's just that Mr. Qian has no interest in court affairs. He just wants to be a rogue who teaches disciples about spiritual practice... If he is willing, maybe in Geling City, the status of the master of Wanxiang Sect will be second only to
The old headmaster of Shangyang Palace."
"If those people want to get rid of my mother-in-law, they will definitely use gangster tactics, so after getting the news, Mr. Qian rushed to Yunzhou to protect my mother-in-law secretly."
"The eldest brother also went to Wuwei County at that time and became the magistrate of Wuwei County... By the way, we are all used to calling him eldest brother. In fact, I am one year older than him."
Shi Yicheng said: "The reason why the eldest brother is the eldest brother is not because he is older, but because he is respected by all of us."
Lin Ye nodded.
Shi Yicheng said: "The situation was actually very complicated at the time. It's so complicated that when I think about it now, I still can't put everything together."
"His Majesty told General Liu when he mobilized the cowardly troops to go north, that he should treat Tuoba Lie with caution, but General Liu did not want to believe that Tuoba Lie, who was a fraternal brother, would betray him."
Speaking of this, Shi Yicheng let out a heavy breath.
"There's nothing wrong with this."
Shi Yicheng said: "Tuoba Lie was the designer from the beginning. Everything was planned by him. The so-called being led on the wrong path was just the path he paved for himself to maintain his reputation."
Lin Ye nodded. Of course he had thought about these things for a long time, but now that he heard them, he still felt overwhelmed.
"The general knows something about what happened next."
Shi Yicheng said: "For example, Tuoba Lie deliberately stimulated Yan Beisheng to go crazy and secretly established Chaoxin Zongque to put Yan Beisheng in front of the stage while he stayed behind the scenes."
"This is to stabilize his position in Yunzhou and create some troubles from time to time so that the imperial court cannot transfer him back to Geling, so that he can always quell rebellions in Yunzhou."
"Later, because the development of the Chaoxin Sect exceeded Tuoba Lie's remaining information, and His Majesty had already started investigating, Tuoba Lie designed the Chaoxin Sect rebellion."
"Those disciples of the Chaoxin Sect who died innocently and tragically did not know in the end that the real sect leader was actually Tuoba Lie and not Yan Beisheng."
Hearing this, Lin Ye's mind suddenly lit up, followed by a thunderous sound.
He stood up suddenly, as if the electric current in his mind was endless. He was still holding on to the armrest of the seat, but because of the force, the armrest was directly broken by him.
"General, what's wrong?"
Lin Ye's reaction shocked Shi Yicheng and others, and they stood up and came closer.
Lin Ye looked at Shi Yicheng and asked word for word: "Tuoba Lie, is it possible that you can also...immortal magic?"
