Chapter 1744 The small boat floats on the blue sea, and the sound of the tide comes one after another
The chef of Wu'an Marquis Mansion brought his own wine when Brother Yan Xian came over for a banquet. At first he brought wine, then he brought furniture, and then he brought his own cook. This was also the beginning of his growing relationship with Brother Yan Xian. proof of.
Marquis Jiang Wu'an would not offend his friend's hospitality. After the meal, he decided to let him stay on the spot. This chef's skills were truly extraordinary. After entering the palace, Chong Xuansheng came more often.
Because Zhang Linchuan replaced Lei Zhanqian, Chongxuan Sheng went to Lushuang County to take care of things. The management was very good. Not to mention other things, the more wine he drank in the Bowanghou Mansion and the Wuanhou Mansion, the more he drank. , has filled the wine cellar.
Although the desire for food and drink is a mundane thing, it is really happy when it is mundane.
Jiang Wang, Qianqian, Bai Yuxia, and Chu Yao were added, eating and drinking in large quantities, and the cheers continued.
Chu Yao was not allowed to drink. After eating, he was driven to practice calligraphy.
The remaining three people drank and tasted slowly.
When his mouth was full of oil and his eyes were a little dazed, he picked up the tablecloth and wiped it, drank the remaining wine in the bottle, let out a satisfied burp, and stood up.
"gone!"
So he said.
The sound is like sheathing a sword to hide the cold front, crisp, neat and decisive.
Jiang Wang didn't get up, he just looked up at this guy.
Because it was a gathering of friends, I deliberately didn't control myself. I was a little drunk at the moment.
He chuckled and said: "I thought you would stay and help me, just like you did in Qingyang Town... Why?"
The forward-looking face has no outline in the messy beard and hair, and the eyelids are drooping listlessly: "My courage has been exhausted."
Without waiting for Jiang Wang to say anything, he turned around again, laughed loudly, and walked out swaggeringly: "Let's go to the world again and gather some courage to come back!"
Bai Yuxia didn't know why Xiang Xiang did this, but he respected Xiang Xiang's choice.
Now it is even more important to respect Jiang Wang's acquiescence.
So he just stood up and said, "I'll see you off."
Jiang Wang was sitting alone, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and drank it slowly.
Linzi is certainly a good place.
It is the center of power in the Eastern Region and one of the most famous cities in the world.
There are dragons and tigers competing here, and there is prosperity in the world.
It can satisfy all people's desires and tolerate all people's ambitions.
Of course it is worthy of the heroes of the world competing for the title.
But for Xiang Qiang, this overlord is even more significant.
This is November 16, 3921 in the Taoist calendar, and the only successor of Weiwo Kendo in the world, Xiang Xiang, sets foot in Linzi for the first time in his life.
…
…
The greater the reputation, the harder it is to be as free as before.
In the past, when he traveled across the county and passed through the government, how many people knew him? He could be so arrogant.
Now if he wants to sneak to Yunguo to meet An An, it will be a hundred times more difficult than before.
Just like this time when he went to sea specifically to thank Zhu Biqiong in person, he also had to take into account the political significance of the identity of Marquis Wu'an.
You can only travel lightly and sneak around like a thief.
But even though he came so quietly, he could not see Zhu Biqiong himself.
Bai Yuxia came to see Jiang Wang with an autographed letter. The letter was accepted, but Zhu Biqiong did not show up, saying that she was in retreat.
"Her people sent a message saying that she was at a critical moment in her practice and it was not convenient to see guests." Bai Yuxia, who had fully adapted to the role of a guest, reported this.
It is not convenient for Jiang Wang himself to appear on Crescent Island.
Appearing in public makes people nervous, and hiding one's head and tail makes people even more vigilant.
Therefore, he had no choice but to stop at sea and let Bai Yuxia deliver a letter asking for an audience.
The last time I came to the offshore islands, Zhu Biqiong also said that it was not the time to meet each other.
But it was only this time that Jiang Wang belatedly discovered that Zhu Biqiong seemed to be deliberately avoiding him... Why didn't he see the importance of cultivation when he was chasing Li Daorong to death?
He didn't know what Zhu Biqiong was thinking. After coming out of the Tianfu Secret Realm, Zhu Biqiong was no longer the little girl who could be seen through at a glance. She only offered to help without reservation twice, and she could still prove her original intention.
friendship.
Zhu Biqiong must have Zhu Biqiong's reasons.
Jiang Wang could only accept it.
You can't just block people's doors?
Maybe Diao Hailou thought he was going to have another battle at Tianya Terrace.
Wu'an Hou Dumen and Jiang Qingyang Dumen are completely different concepts. One misjudgment might lead to a direct fight between Diaohailou and Jueming Island...
Speaking of which, since he himself went to sea again, he should have discussed with Chen Zhitao from Diaohailou, who was "unfortunately born fifteen years too late".
But for Zhu Biqiong's sake, he didn't cause any trouble.
The current Chen Zhitao... will not be his opponent.
Even if he looked at the entire Diaohai Building, he was confident that he could sweep it down to the four Jinghai elders.
"Then let's go." He said to Bai Yuxia.
"Where should we go next?" Bai Yuxia asked.
At this time, the small boat floated on the blue sea, and the sound of the tide came one after another.
Jiang Wang, who was wearing a cloak and stood alone on the bow of the boat, only said quietly: "The Gate of Ten Thousand Demons."
…
…
Extraordinary monks enjoy extraordinary resources in the world, and naturally they should also bear extraordinary responsibilities.
Of course, not every monk has this kind of consciousness.
It was only after the rise of the national system that some extraordinary responsibilities became a consensus, rather than just one's own moral drive.
Many people feel that they have achieved their current level of cultivation by practicing step by step and relying on their own efforts without receiving any help. Of course, there is no need to give back to the world.
Little did he know that "stability in this world" was never a matter of course. The reason why he was able to practice stably was the result of countless people's efforts.
In the Eastern Region, every Wailou Realm monk has the responsibility to go to sea.
In Qi State, every Shenlin monk must participate in guarding the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons for at least one month.
Of course Jiang Wang will not shirk his responsibilities.
As we all know, the history of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons can be traced back to ancient times. The Gate of Ten Thousand Demons was located in the Central Region and was suppressed under Tianjing City.
But starting a long time ago, Tianjing City is no longer the only entrance to the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons.
Of course, it was Jing Taizu who first established the Tianjing City above the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, and also established the most powerful Dajing Central Empire. It is said that "when there is a Jing Dynasty, the emperor guards the gate of the country."
In the past, there were some so-called countries called "countries", but their systems could hardly be called sound, and they were no different from the tribal era, and there was no trace of anything beyond sects... they were fragmented and incompetent.
It was Jing Taizu who was the first to establish an empire with a complete system and a clear political system. At that time, he maximized the use of the torrent of humanity, which attracted the world to follow suit. The national system has flourished since then.
These stories are recorded in detail in "Shi Dao Chu Hai".
The third volume of "Jing Lue" also describes in detail how Emperor Jing Wen made alliances with the world after he came to power, and how he cared for the interests of those behind the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
But with the advancement of history, the evolution of the times, and the development of all countries in the world.
Great countries such as Yang, Chu, and Qin played a role behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons that was not inferior to that of Jing State, but they shed more blood and sweat, and gained far less.
Jing Guo held the knife to cut the deer alone, which was no longer allowed in terms of objective reality.
Hence the famous event in history that "the emperors of the Five Kingdoms met in Tianjing".
According to the fifth volume of "Jinglue", this is a story that happened during the period of Emperor Jingqin...
It is said that before the start of the Yellow River Conference, the emperors of the five hegemonic countries came directly to the outside of Tianjing City, named Jingtianzi, and demanded that the responsibilities of each country for the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons be reconsidered.
This incident directly woke up Jingguo from the dream of dominating the world. If it was not handled well, it would be Yang, Chu, Qin, Jing, Mu, the five kingdoms' cavalry drinking horses in Tianjing City, and the five kingdoms' armies jointly attacking the Central Region.
result.
Historical records: The emperor's face remained as usual. He pointed at the mountains and rivers on the spot, divided the world, and discussed with the emperors the important matter of slaying demons. After deciding to return, his face was as white as paper, the blood had faded, and his index finger was still trembling. That night, he cried in the Ancestral Temple.
In this major event, "History's Swordsman Cuts the Sea" does not have a clear summary description of how Yang, Chu, Qin, Jing, and Mu reached cooperation. It skipped the process and focused on the results and impact of the matter.
But in the history books divided into volumes by various countries, you can find a piece of the puzzle. Those who are interested can see the whole picture.
I have to say that Sima Heng was really capable of writing the following paragraph about Emperor Jing Qin, about his face being as white as paper, about crying in the temple late at night...
Being able to know these things and find evidence to confirm them is a skill.
Dare to write it out and write it in such detail, which is another kind of skill.
It is fitting that he should be famous, and with this book "The Sword of History Cuts the Sea", he will surpass all the sages of historians in history and become the first historian.
At that time, it was still the Emperor of Yang who represented the Eastern Region. Of course, everything was taken over by Qi. Naturally, the process of taking over by Qi was not a smooth one. It was good for you and me. The shares of Yang were all
It was today's Emperor Qi who led the civil and military forces of Qi to regain the Eastern Territory bit by bit.
This is a topic for later, so I won’t mention it here.
Since the "Emperor of the Five Kingdoms Meeting in Tianjing", the control of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons has been changed from the sole control of Jingguo's family to the joint control of the six powers. No one of the six powers in the world can open or close the door alone. It must be
Only with the consent of at least three overlords can changes be made to the status of the Gate of Demons.
From that time on, the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons opened up five auxiliary gates, each of which were placed within their own borders by the five hegemons.
From then on, the armies of the other five major countries can also march directly into the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons from their own borders. They do not have to gather in the middle region, walk under the eyes of Jingguo, and let Jingguo inspect them, worrying about when Jingguo will
Fall out.
The rules of that Yellow River Conference have continued to this day. Since then, it has become a common practice to use the results of the Yellow River Conference to divide the interests of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
The secondary gate of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons in Qi State opens at the source of the Zihe River.
The Zi of Zihe River is the Zi of Linzi.
This shows the importance of this river.
However, it does not seem to have a strong sense of existence in the Qi State, and it is not as well-known as the Weishui River is in the Qin State.
That's because it has never been open to ordinary people, fishermen have never been allowed to fish, and even the main river is not allowed to be approached easily. Barriers are set up in the distance, and some places are directly covered by formations.
Zihe River is important and mysterious.
People's feelings and closeness to it are mostly through its tributaries that spread throughout the country. For example, the Tanzhu River in Bay County.
The Zihe River is a rare large river that is independent of the long river system. It forms a water system in its own right, flowing eastward into the sea with majestic momentum.
In fact, if the Qi Navy wants to go to sea in large numbers, it will not pass through the dock in Linhai County, but will go directly to the mouth of the Zihe River. However, it is a military important place and is not open to the public.
Jiang Wang turned back from Crescent Island, and the boat went straight down to this port.
Changji Water Village is the name of this water village in the upper reaches of the Zihe River. It is a long way away from the imperial capital and is located in Jichuan County.
This village is adjacent to Le'an to the north and overlooks Qiaoshan Mountain to the south. Not far to the west is Qiuyang County where Chongxuan's family is located, and to the east is Linzi.
Jiang Wang is also here for the first time.
Before this, he had never thought that there was actually a Gate of Ten Thousand Demons hidden here.
It was as if he had never thought that the person in charge of this water stronghold, this gate to all monsters, was Song Yao, the court official.
This imperial court official had just passed the marriage between his disciple's daughter and Uncle Shuo Fang's house, and started flirting with Uncle Shuo Fang. But the year has not passed yet, and the joy of the wedding has not dissipated, and the bridge connecting the two political forces has begun.
It’s broken...
Although the cooperation between the two political forces will not collapse so easily, Bao Zhongqing's death will undoubtedly make Song Yao, who attended the wedding in person, very dissatisfied.
Is Bao Zhongqing bound to die?
If Bao Zhongqing's ending was already doomed, then what was the significance of that wedding? What was the significance of him, Song Yao, going to the platform?
Is it just to let Bao Zhongqing have a son?
The daughter of a disciple, Miao Yuzhi's happiness is not unsacrificable, but is it necessary for him, Master Song Yaosong, to come to her door in person?
This is a kind of harm to Song Yao's face.
Chongxuan Sheng had privately concluded that Shuofang Bo Yi must cede some family interests in order to save him. He also thought about whether he could have a few bites with him. After all, he had personally paid homage to Bao Zhongqing.
"Prince Bao's best friend", it's natural to make a living...
But the actual actions of Uncle Shuofang's Mansion were never seen, and everything was calm on Song Yao's side.
Zhong Xuansheng guessed that Bao Yi's solution might be in a personal form, involving the secrets of the Dongzhen level... He was still angry for a long time, saying that Uncle Bao was wasting resources, and Song Zhenren was not that difficult to coax.
However, what Jiang Wang never expected was that Song Yao, who had not had any interactions with him before, would discuss the word "Changji" in Changji Water Village as his first words.
Changji Water Village spans the upper reaches of the Zihe River. Its structure is made of wood and stone, supplemented by cast iron. The overall style is majestic. From a distance, it looks like a ferocious beast, as if it has the courage to swallow the sea.
At that time, Song Yao was standing outside the water village gate, looking up at the two characters "Changji" on the vertical plaque like a dragon and a snake swimming down.
"Does Marquis Wu An know who wrote these two words?" he asked.
Of course Jiang Wang didn't know, so he said honestly: "Please forgive Jiang Wang for being ignorant... This is even the first time for me to come to Changji Water Village, and the first time I have heard of this name."
"The one from the Bluestone Palace."
Song Yao's voice was so calm and light.
It was so light that it seemed like it was teaching Jiang Wang how to pronounce the word "Changji".
But in Jiang Wang's ears, it was nothing less than a thunderous explosion.
He raised his eyes and looked above the water village, where the heavily guarded navy officers were patrolling back and forth. It seemed that he had not heard anything, and maybe he had indeed heard nothing.
Jiang Wangbian also acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He left the boat and continued walking towards the water village.
His bodyguard commander, Fang Yuanyou, ordered a guard of 200 people and waited near the water village early. Bai Yuxia had already gone ahead to mobilize people.
At this moment, outside the water village, on the vast expanse of blue waves, only Song Yao was walking side by side with him.
"Are you surprised?" Song Yao's voice was calm, and he said in a eloquent tone: "It was after that one rectified our navy that it became truly strong. In the several fierce battles on Ju Ming Island, that one
They all participated in it. Therefore, many people in the government and the public have always recognized him. However, as time has passed, few people remember it. The major mistakes he made on the Xia Kingdom issue back then, and the series of mishandlings that resulted from it, made him
It completely ruined everything and prevented His Majesty from being able to move as soon as possible to escape... Time is also fate."
I have to say that his history is very good.
But Jiang Wang just said calmly: "What surprises me is not this, but...why did Dr. Song tell me this?"
"Oh, just a casual mention." Song Yao smiled: "I hope I didn't scare Marquis Wu An."
"I have also walked outside the Qingshi Palace."
Amidst the shouts of the soldiers in the water village and the sound of the noose being slowly laid down on the stainless steel village gate, Jiang Wang said calmly: "I don't think it's scary."
Bang!
The stainless steel village gate engraved with formation patterns completely fell down and turned into a bridge, parallel to the water surface.
The huge air waves knocked the water pattern away, rippling away in circles.
