Jingbian City belongs to the border area of Li Ziguang Hou Dynasty and is adjacent to Luyang Hou Dynasty. It is the only majestic city within a radius of 300 miles.
There are more than 40,000 people in the city, 30,000 soldiers are stationed there, and the number of business travelers traveling between the two dynasties has increased to 80,000.
Since its establishment, the Hou Dynasty has always attached great importance to this city. Not only did it send court viscounts to guard it, but it also constantly stationed soldiers and reinforced the city and promulgated strict laws to prevent it from happening.
As its name suggests, Jingbian City was an important border city that often had frictions with the neighboring Luyang Hou Dynasty, which spread to melee fights involving tens of thousands of people.
The most recent war occurred thirty years ago. Because the Luyang Hou Dynasty did not allow merchants from the Li Guang Hou Dynasty to enter their border to do business, the two parties negotiated three times in this place fifty miles before Jingbian City, but failed.
At that time, Li Guanghou's dynasty was at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Li Guanghou himself was also very high-spirited and powerful, so he made an agreement with Lu Yanghou that both sides would bring tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the border to fight.
The battle involving tens of thousands of people lasted for nearly three months, and the results were known to the world.
Li Guanghou was defeated and returned seriously injured, with only ten soldiers and horses left.
According to rumors at that time, although the battlefield was nearly sixty or seventy miles away from Jingbian City, the people in the city could still smell the bloody smell oozing from the dead bodies, and the cheerful voices of crows and partridges, dark birds that specialize in eating human carrion.
The sound of cry.
After this battle, Li Guanghou's dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and the root of the split of the Hou dynasty emerged from this.
This Jingbian City is about a thousand miles away from Nanshan City. Wang Dalu, Nie Zi, Xiang Guang, Li Shishi, Xue Xiaocui, three children and grandchildren who were criminals in the mine in the past, Qian Dayong and Zhao Gensheng were all together.
It took two months of walking around to reach the border of Houchao.
After Wang Dalu sealed everyone in Nanshan City, he took Li Shishi, Nie Zi and others down the mountain to travel.
He originally wanted to invite Old Turtle, a great practitioner, to accompany him, but Old Turtle refused.
Old Turtle told Wang Dalu that he was going back to the Chaos Family in Middle-earth to take care of some trivial matters and to come back before Wang Dalu announced the start of the dynasty. He also persuaded his father, Wang Gang, not to stop and worry about him, and to allow himself to travel and gain knowledge.
Wang Gang still wanted to listen to what Old Turtle said. He also felt that Wang Dalu should go out for a walk when he grew up, so he asked his old servant Nie Zi to take good care of Wang Dalu and not make any mistakes.
Originally, the five members of their party, including Wang Dalu, Nie Zi, Xiang Guang, Li Shishi, and Xue Xiaocui, were enough. However, when they thought about their travels, they would have to pass through some deserted mountains and ridges, and they would need someone to take care of minor matters.
Xue Xiaocui's recommendation persuaded Wang Dalu to agree to accompany the three young men as servants.
The group arrived at Jingbian City at sunset yesterday. They found an inn to rest in the city and wandered around the city today.
This Jingbian City is truly a majestic border city, with heavy military guards everywhere and strong folk customs.
The purpose of their trip was to find Nie Zi's long-lost sworn sister.
During the Battle of Nanshan, before his death, Lu Wanshan revealed to Nie Zi her possible residence.
That place is very far away from here, with two or three imperial courts in between.
At the beginning, Lu Wanshan only learned about it through long-distance travelers and never went to confirm it in person. After all, he had heard that it was too far away and he did not dare to take risks.
Unlike Lu Wanshan, Nie Zi missed his third sister for a long time and wanted to find her whereabouts immediately.
After the incident in Nanshan came to an end, Nie Zi led Wang Dalu and others to find the whereabouts of the third sister.
Wang Dalu and others planned to stay in Jingbian City for two or three more days before heading to the adjacent Luyang Hou Dynasty.
I heard that this tea house and restaurant in Jingbian City is very popular among tourists, and there is an endless stream of people coming in. It is very famous.
Everyone was too drunk, so the restaurant had to give up, but the teahouse still had to be visited for tea tasting.
A few people were walking along the lively market, and in the most conspicuous place there was a teahouse called 'Ming Si'.
From a distance, Wang Dalu and the others saw many teahouse guests coming in and out of the door of the teahouse, which was about ten feet high.
I saw two small seal characters in square regular script on the dark plaque. The word Ming Si can also be read as drinking tea and feeling homesick, which is very agreeable.
When they entered the teahouse, they saw that the teahouse was divided into two floors. In front of everyone there was a stage with a length of three to four feet and a height of about three inches. There were more than a dozen beautiful girls posing on it.
The dance is eye-catching, the smile is eye-catching, and the music is moving to the ear.
The layout of this building is unique. There are four rectangular living rooms around the stage, southeast, southeast and northwest, with fifty or sixty people sitting in each, shouting and salivating.
There was even a scholar and poet who wanted to recite poems and sing congratulations to the dancers.
Although you can't get a full view of the teahouse from the second floor, you can imagine that the decorations on the first floor are luxurious and elegant.
When Wang Dalu and others arrived, the first floor was already full of tea drinkers, while the second floor was rarely open to outsiders.
Fortunately, Wang Dalu was familiar with this before, so he asked the three boys next to him to reward the waiter with some money, and under his guidance, he found a tea room to sit down.
Wang Dalu, Nie Zi, and Li Shishi sat down, and the others were waiting beside them.
Enjoying tea while watching the dance is extremely enjoyable.
While Wang Dalu was admiring it, he heard Qian Dayong and Zhao Gensheng's two children laughing and whispering beside him.
How could the whispers of the two of them be hidden from Wang Dalu's ears? He smiled and turned around and said to the two of them.
"I think the woman on the right is the most outstanding."
Qian Dayong and Zhao Gensheng suddenly turned pale when their adults interrupted them. They wanted to kneel down, but under the pull of Wang Dalu's vitality, it was difficult for them to use their legs and feet.
Seeing that Wang Dalu was laughing and saying nothing, the two stopped sweating and quickly praised him for his unique vision and flattery.
Wang Dalu just laughed twice when he suddenly thought of something. He turned his eyes to Li Shishi and saw that she didn't care about his dissolute behavior. He said it was a fluke and stopped smiling.
The tea room where everyone lived became silent as Wang Dalu's laughter stopped, and they all watched the dance music downstairs.
Before I knew it, six or seven batches of women with different body shapes and dancing postures had taken turns downstairs.
Wang Dalu and the others also drank two or three pots of spring tea. They felt sleepy and wanted to go back to the inn to rest.
As soon as the eight of them walked out of the door of the teahouse, they bumped into a few crooked-looking libertines with sly eyebrows and dirty eyes.
Just listen to "Oops".
This was followed by a flurry of curses.
It turned out that one of those young men with a wretched and chubby face bumped into Xiang Guang while he was joking with others.
That Xiang Guang was a member of the army and was in good health, and he was also a monk who traveled through the Yuan Dynasty. How could he be compared to that young master who spent all day wandering around the flowers and getting drunk?
The young man was hit hard, but Xiang Guang followed Wang Dalu and the others outside without realizing it.
How could those five or six young masters be willing to give up and block the way of Wang Dalu and others?
Seeing the faces of the eight Wang Dalu people, they were probably passing by businessmen and they were not afraid. One of them said to the fat man.
"Master Hua, do you think it's Wen Lai or Wu Zuo?"
The fat man called Mr. Hua was initially angry and planned to blackmail the foreigners in front of him, but when he saw Master Li among them, his eyes lit up.
This woman is full of heroic aura, has a pretty face and light eyebrows, and is cool and yet pretty.
The young masters saw the fat young man Hua looking at Master Li blankly, so they hurriedly woke him up.
Mr. Hua was reminded by his companion and thought for a while.
Literary or martial arts are common tactics used by several of them to deal with outsiders.
Wen Lai refers to asking outsiders to apologize and make amends in exchange for money and jade.
Wu Zuo means that when a recalcitrant person is encountered, the city guards are sent to the prison to be imprisoned and tortured.
But today, these people were different from him. There was one Li Shishi who fascinated him, so he planned to make friends with him first and ask about his origins, and he would be polite first and then fight.
The sound of Mr. Hua's laziness sounded.
"Hey, I don't blame them. I bumped into them accidentally. I should have given them a gift."
After saying that, he bowed symbolically.
His body was short, thick and bloated and it was a bit difficult to bend over, but he still wanted to please Master Li.
"I, Hua Zizhang, was suddenly abrupt. I don't know what the girl's name is and where she lives. I would like to inform you so that I can come and apologize."
How could Wang Dalu not see the little tricks of a few people, but he was just too lazy to pay attention to them.
Li Shishi saw Wang Dalu nodding to him, intending to just watch and deal with it.
She said coldly.
"There's no need for this. If nothing happens, please get out of the way. We'll take the first step."
When he first heard this woman's voice, it was loud and clear, and the lingering sound made Hua Shao feel that he had fallen in love again. Although he didn't know that this was the dozens of times he had fallen in love, he was sure that this time he fell in the deepest, and his whole body was drowned.
.
He quickly signaled with his eyes to the four companions around him and allowed Wang Dalu and others to leave.
These five people lived together day and night, and their eyes were clear to each other. Knowing that Hua Shao was trying to catch him, they each smiled lustfully at Li Shishi, and then backed away.
Wang Dalu and Nie Zi didn't say much on the way back. However, Li Shishi's personal maid Xue Xiaocui, San Xiao'er and Xiang Guang all had angry faces on their faces and could not tolerate the abuse of a few libertines towards the future mistress.
Humiliation.
Several people petitioned Wang Dalu to take advantage of the darkness to kill the young masters and kill them quickly to vent their anger.
Before Wang Dalu could say anything, Nie Zi beside him said to his disciple Xiang Guang.
"You idiot has lost his mind for nothing. Those people with lustful looks, wealth, wealth and stubbornness are not the kind of people who are willing to give up. Why bother to go look for him and wait for him to come?"
Xiang Guang and others felt that it was reasonable, so they stopped petitioning.
In fact, how could Wang Dalu not be angry? It's just that he is traveling abroad and doesn't want to cause more trouble.
With the ten-year agreement between them, everything must be restrained. Besides, he also believed that those people would not give up easily. They would find them soon and they would show up again. Li Ziguang did not dare to say anything after knowing it.
.
In the evening, Wang Dalu asked the three children to contact the city to find out the origins of the young masters today.
Because he knows the eternal truth that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you survive a hundred battles.
