The place Youfang Valley is very famous in Yunzhou. It is said that this Sixty Mile Valley of Flowers was left by immortals in the world.
Entering from the mouth of the valley, you will see green green everywhere, with distinct layers of green, and gradual gradients of grass and tree colors, making people feel that this color alone is the most beautiful scenery in the world.
But after walking another three or five miles, the valley suddenly became bright and colorful, filling the world with beauty.
At a glance, all the colors in the world are here, without any omission.
Even the most powerful painter cannot paint one-tenth of the colors here.
Xie Fulan, Prince of Chengjun, who was originally full of melancholy, became gentle when he saw such a scene.
"There is Baihua Village in Geling."
As Prince Cheng walked, he praised: "Every time during this season, the literati in Geling will go to Baihuazhuang to play. From the founding of Dayu to the present, there have been more than a thousand poems written in Baihuazhuang."
He looked around: "But those of you, if you come to Youfang Valley, I'm afraid you won't be able to write an article, you will only be amazed."
Xie Ya said with a smile: "How can the flowers in Baihua Village be compared with here? They are just like fireflies and the bright moon."
No matter how big the troubles are, among the people in the world, the most troublesome person is not as good as the prince.
Even when he arrived here, he could temporarily forget his troubles, which proved that the scenery here was indeed healing enough.
"People say that Youfang Valley is a legacy of immortals. Before I came here, I scorned it. How could there be any immortals in this world? But after seeing it, I realized that if it were not an immortal, how could it be possible to create such beautiful scenery on earth."
When Xie Yatan heard what her father said, she couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm afraid it wasn't the immortal who moved a place from the fairyland to the human world."
The two of them were talking, laughing, and walking. About half an hour later, they saw a huge crack on the mountain wall on one side of the canyon in front of them.
It was like a ridiculously large piece of tofu that had been chopped with a knife. It was not completely chopped open, but more than half of it was broken from top to bottom.
The most shocking thing is here. The cliffs on both sides of the gap are actually covered with flowers that are as white as snow. No, white snow is not comparable. The entire wall seems to be carefully carved out of mutton-fat white jade.
flowers.
Prince Cheng sighed: "It is said that the orchid in the empty valley is the artistic conception, and this is where the heart belongs."
At this moment, a young man wearing a green shirt walked over from the opposite side. He looked to be in his twenties.
The collar of the green shirt and soap boots is embroidered with an orchid that is exactly the same as the one on the cliff.
"But the prince has arrived?"
The young man came closer and bowed.
Prince Cheng nodded: "Who are you?"
The young man said: "Master asked me to come here to greet the prince and meet you at Yuanlan Xiaozhu."
Prince Cheng immediately understood that he was a disciple sent by the most mysterious Master of the Mo Sect in the world.
Mohism emerged more than a thousand years ago. At its peak, half of the officials in the court were Mohism followers. Even the emperor at that time called himself a disciple of Mohism.
To this day, although Momen is no longer well known to the world, it still has a profound influence.
After the founding of Dayu, Geling City was built, and the person in charge of the construction was Su Tingchu, a disciple of Momen. The construction of Geling took more than thirty years, and Su Tingchu worked hard, but he died of illness soon after the construction of Geling.
Su Tingchu served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry for more than thirty years. The Geling City he built with his own hands is undoubtedly the most powerful city in the world and the most fortified city in the world.
After Geling City was built, Emperor Jade at that time once said that as long as there was enough food and grass in Geling City, it would never be conquered.
Therefore, Prince Cheng has always hoped that Dongfang Su, who has a romantic relationship with the Momen, can seek support from the Momen.
Moreover, he felt that Momen had reasons to support him.
Not long after Su Tingchu died of illness, the imperial court ransacked his home on the pretext of treason, and then wanted the Momen disciples.
In the following ten years, the number of Momen disciples declined, and the remaining ones were all hiding, fearing to expose their identities again, and the inheritance of the Momen was almost ended.
To this day, the descendants of Momen still dare not show this identity to others.
Dongfang Su and Mo Sect are inextricably linked, and the current leader of Mo Sect owes him a huge favor.
Of course, Momen disciples would not dare to be implicated in such a serious crime of rebellion. The bloodbath of that year has still not been forgotten.
Today I can finally meet people from Momen. Xie Fulan, Prince of Cheng County, feels that this is probably God's will.
Following the guidance of the Momen disciples, they entered the mountain from a deserted side, passed through a forest, and walked past the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. It took a full hour before they saw a hut.
Who would have thought that Momen, who once made heroes all over the world fearful, is now hiding in this deep mountain and old forest.
The thatched hut is simple and natural, but it doesn't look like an indifferent mood.
When Prince Cheng arrived at the door, he saw an old man with an immortal spirit waiting there.
He guessed that this was the master of the Mo Clan, so he quickly stepped forward and with the dignity of a county king, he actually performed the courtesy of a junior.
The old man was startled, and he took a few steps forward to help Prince Cheng: "Your Majesty, this is really embarrassing for me."
The two of them exchanged a few words, and then were led into the hut by the owner.
Not long after, the conversation turned to serious matters. In fact, Prince Cheng couldn't wait for a long time, and he was just chatting patiently.
"Geling City Gate..."
The sect master stroked his beard and said: "It is true that the secret technique of the Mo sect was used. When the city gate was built, those craftsmen would have been secretly executed. Our sect's senior Su Tingchu was kind-hearted. In order to save these craftsmen, he came to the city
There is a secret passage left in the door."
Upon hearing this, Prince Cheng's eyes lit up.
The gate master said: "The Geling City Gate is divided into seven levels, inside and outside. The main gate weighs ten thousand kilograms. It is difficult to open without any fancy structure."
"Senior Su Tingchu spent his whole life building the seven-story city gate, and hundreds of craftsmen worked with him to build it."
"Emperor Jade was worried that these people would reveal the secret of opening the door easily, so he decided to execute them all secretly."
"According to the emperor's original intention, these craftsmen must be sealed inside the city wall when they are building the military tunnel."
Speaking of this, the door owner sighed with emotion.
"In order to save these innocent craftsmen, Master Su built another secret passage in the military passage inside the city wall."
He looked at Prince Cheng: "From now on, the secret passage can lead directly into the city, and you can also climb the city wall."
Prince Cheng asked quickly: "What about the palace?"
The sect master sighed and said: "There are at least five secret passages in the palace, because this is Master Su's proud work. He drew a small map and secretly sent it back to the master for preservation."
He looked at Prince Cheng: "This actually became the cause of Master Su's disaster, causing his whole family to be killed, and almost everyone in our Mo family died because of this."
Prince Cheng quickly comforted him and then asked: "Master, is this little picture still there?"
The door owner nodded: "Yes."
Prince Cheng was overjoyed and asked eagerly: "Can the gate master give me the structure diagram of the city gate and the small diagram of the secret passage of the palace?"
The door owner seemed particularly troubled, and did not answer immediately, with a somewhat uncomfortable expression on his face.
"Don't worry, Master."
Chengjun Wang said: "What I want to do will not harm the world, nor will it harm hundreds of millions of people. Today's emperor is unkind and his position is not upright. I am also doing this to help the country, and I am forced to do so out of helplessness."
"When things are done, I will be kind to the people, and I will also do justice to Momen. I swear here, if I violate my oath, the sky will thunder..."
Seeing Chengjun Wang's sincerity, the master of the sect felt really unwilling to give in. After pondering over and over again, he ordered his disciples to fetch the treasure box from his room.
That night, Prince Cheng did not leave the Momen hermitage, but stayed here all night. He had a long chat with the sect master until almost dawn before going to sleep for a while.
After resting for less than an hour, he got up immediately, had a hasty breakfast in the Momen Hidden Area, and then left.
He was in a hurry to return to Linmanting City to arrange other matters. Now everything was ready, all he needed was Tuoba.
To be honest, he and Tuoba Lie have always had secret contacts over the years.
In order to avoid being traced, the communication between the two people was passed down orally by close relatives, and no letters have ever been preserved.
Tuoba Lie has always been vague about raising troops and has never expressed his attitude.
But since he has been in contact with Prince Cheng, it means that he is not willing to be manipulated by the emperor.
But raising an army is, after all, a big deal, a matter as big as the sky.
Without a suitable reason or a suitable time, raising troops is treason. Even if one hundred thousand Beiye troops are good at fighting, they will not win the hearts of the people of the world.
When it comes to raising an army, the person who should be most afraid of is not the Jade Emperor, but the generals who hold the troops and horses in the most important cities in the world.
If the reason for raising an army is justifiable, there is no need for the generals to raise flags to support it, as long as they stand still.
But if the division is unknown, as long as there is a slight accident in the battle, these people who support the army will definitely attack in groups.
On the road.
Prince Cheng looked at the confidant in the carriage and said, "Get off the carriage fifteen miles away from Linmanting City. There is an official road to the north. You can rush to Yunzhou City."
This man's name is Gao Chai, and he has been with Prince Cheng for many years. He is considered a person whom Prince Cheng can confide in.
Gao Chai asked: "If Sui Qing succeeds and can really kill Lu Gang, will my subordinates go directly to confront Tuoba Lie?"
Prince Cheng nodded: "At this point, there is no need to be secretive anymore."
He looked out the window and said in a very soft voice: "In this game, the most important move for His Majesty is Tuoba, but what he values most is how to capture this piece."
"What I value most is Tuoba. I want to move this chess piece back to life. If Tuoba Lie is still hesitant, he will not be able to survive if I die. He also knows this."
Gao Chai nodded: "After my subordinates arrive at Yunzhou City, if they get the news that Lu Gang is dead, they will immediately go to Beiye Prince's Mansion."
Prince Cheng said: "You have to remember to tell him directly about Momen and don't hide anything."
Gao Chai said: "If there is a way to break Ge Ling, Tuoba Lie will also be moved."
He looked at Prince Cheng: "But Your Majesty, Tuoba Lie is a very scheming person. If he pretends to agree to raise an army, but has disobedient intentions towards Your Majesty..."
Prince Cheng naturally thought about this issue.
Since he wants to raise an army, why should Tuoba Lie support this idle prince?
"At the very least, he won't dare to attack me until the matter is done."
Prince Chengjun said: "Unless the big thing is a foregone conclusion, it will be time for him to take action against me, but I don't have to wait until then."
He looked out the window and said: "I only need the truth that Tuoba Lie is rebelling... As long as he rebels, the Beiye Army will have no way to retreat. When the time comes, they will be rebelling with Tuoba Lie, and they will be rebelling with me."
"Tuoba and I... know each other too well."
Prince Cheng said in a complicated tone: "We just want to see who succeeds in the end."
