Chapter 2150 Gui Zi Scroll Xue and Xing compete, Dong Ze meets the enemy
???????"That is the Qi Qi Palace. Back then, Duke Ping of Jin thought he could imitate his ancestors, the Jinwen Guild Alliance, to dominate, so he built the Yuan Qi Palace here, but he did not expect that it would become a laughing stock.
"
The carriage jolted the group of people a little uncomfortable, and the atmosphere was a little tense. Baoqin was also aware of this, so he deliberately stirred up the topic so that everyone would not be too upset and afraid.
????????Had passed Huishui, but could still see the situation along the Huishui River. Baoqin opened the curtains, pointed at the somewhat blurry distance and said: "Huiqi Palace, Tongtian Palace,
Linggong Terrace is known as the three major palaces of the Jin Dynasty. If it was built during the reign of Duke Wen of Jin, it would be justified, but if Duke Ping of Jin came to build it, it would make the Fang family laugh."
?????????"As expected, my sister is very knowledgeable. I only know a little bit about this somewhat obscure history, but I don't know the details." Xing Xiuyan also helped to pick up the conversation and liven up the atmosphere.
"This land of Jin is full of ancient monuments. Going further ahead is Dong Ze, right? It is said that Dong Ze gave birth to dragons. Is this true?"
Xue Baoqin did not expect that Xing Xiuyan was so familiar with the history of Jin. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Dong Ze's birth of dragons is just an ancient rumor. Where can there really be dragons?"
?????????"Sister, this Dongze is famous for its Dragon Pond. According to legend, it was the place where Shun granted the Dong family the power to raise dragons. The willows grown around Dongze are all sacred objects. It is said that Shun bestowed upon him the power of the dragon.
If you can build a fence around it, the dragon won't be able to get out." Xiuyan said with a smile.
There were six or seven people crammed into the carriage. In addition to the three girls, there were also their personal maids. The Lingguan was a little girl and couldn't help but asked: "Aunt Xing, what do you mean about Dong Zeli?"
Is it true that the willow tree can still stop the dragon from flying to the sky?"
Xue Baoqin laughed, "Sister Xiuyan, you said that the willows produced by Dong Ze are of very good quality. I know it. It is said that it can be used as arrows, but if you want to use Shun's divine power to restrain a dragon, that is
It's just a lie. There are no dragons in the first place. How can you say that dragons are imprisoned and raised? I've also heard of the dragon pond. How can ancient myths be taken seriously?"
???????The bickering between Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan immediately livened up the atmosphere in the carriage compartment. Everyone was a little uneasy before, but now seeing the grandmothers chatting and laughing happily, without any fear at all, I felt
It stabilized itself, and even the two maids and women sitting beside the shaft outside the carriage and the rough servants at the back of the carriage felt much more at ease.
"Get off the car from here, and there is Tangshan Mountain thirty miles over there. There is Chengtang Temple on the mountain, which is quite majestic. It is also called Jingshan. It is said in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that "Looking south to the salt lake".
That is to say, Tangshan or Jingshan also produces rare things. "Seeing that Xing Xiuyan was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, Xue Baoqin also gained some fighting spirit and wanted to test it again.
????????"Sister said, "Looking south to the salt merchant's marsh, and looking north to the Shaoze, there are many grasses and potatoes on it, and there are many Qin peppers on the grass; there are many ochres on the yin, and many jade on the yang. There are
"There is a bird, it looks like a snake with four wings, six eyes, and three legs. It's called Suyou. It sings like a bird. When you see it, you'll be frightened." Xing Xiuyan asked with a smile.
Xue Baoqin was shocked. She didn't expect that Xing Xiuyan was so familiar with "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Ordinary people knew about such miscellaneous books, but they only knew them in general, but Xing Xiuyan actually said it without hesitation.
If you memorize it, even if Lin Daiyu is well-read, she might not be able to do it, right?
"I didn't expect my sister to know so much about miscellaneous books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Yes, it is about this acid. If people see it, there will be fear, but if they eat it,
You can drink meat without getting drunk. If your husband can eat it, then you no longer have to worry about getting drunk." Xue Baoqin said with a smile.
"Sister, I'm afraid this is a real myth, right? It makes sense to say that it is unlucky to see such a magical bird. You can eat its meat and not get drunk, but it is just a rumor."
Xing Xiuyan shook his head repeatedly.
"If you don't believe in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, then if you believe that Shun granted the Dong family the title of raising dragons, then where did this rumor come from?" Xue Baoqin asked rhetorically.
"Sister, have you ever read "Zuo Zhuan"?" Xiuyan asked with a smile, "It is recorded in Zuo Zhuan in the 29th year of Duke Zhao. Sister, think about it carefully, and there is also Du Yu of Jin Dynasty."
I’ve noted this section before.”
???????Although Xue Baoqin has read "Zuo Zhuan", he has not read it carefully. How can he remember such details? However, Xing Xiuyan dared to say this, there must be a source. She felt unhappy, but she could not express it.
The atmosphere was originally lively and relaxed. I became competitive. If I wanted to be displeased, I would fall behind. I had to smile and say: "My sister is still attentive. Of course I have read "Zuo Zhuan", but this paragraph
But I can’t remember it.”
Seeing that Xue Baoqin admitted his shortcomings, Xiuyan also admired Xue Baoqin's magnanimity. On this point, Xue Baoqin could not let Baochai.
????????While the two women in the car were laughing and bickering, Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang were anxiously urging the group of people to go south quickly and cross this increasingly dangerous section of road.
????????The road ahead began to change to the west, and Duan Xipeng knew that Dong Ze was coming.
????????Dongze is a forested land, and you can smell the fishy smell of water from a distance.
?????????Duan Xipeng asked Dong Ze before he came that a few years ago, before there was a drought, the water surface area was so large that it would take a day for a boat to go around it. However, in recent years there have been severe droughts, and the water surface has
It has been greatly reduced, and the rest of the area has turned into a swamp. Even the soil on the ground has hardened, becoming a dense area of aquatic shrubs and a den for bandits.
"Gao Dahu, Tang Tianshun, you take a group of people over and clean up the area along the road first..." Duan Xipeng knew that this couldn't wait.
It would take at least half a day to wait until this line was cleared before passing. There was no time. He didn't dare to wait, so he could only pass while clearing.
????????The worst case scenario is to have a group of people guard the carriage and cover it with human shields.
A group of knights quickly rushed out and cleared the woods and bushes within 20 steps on both sides of the road. Following them were more than 20 vigilant soldiers holding bows and arrows.
If discovered, they will launch an attack as soon as possible to provide support.
???????Even Bao Qin and the others in the car felt the tense atmosphere outside the car and did not dare to speak anymore.
The speed of the carriage did not slow down, but the bumps were even worse. The post road next to Dong Ze had been damaged by pedestrians and vehicles, and the mud was soft, so it was very undulating.
Six or seven cavalrymen maintained their prepared posture, forming a comb shape of varying widths, and rode slowly along the mixed area of shrubs and trees to the east of the post road.
????????Each of them holds a one-handed crossbow in one hand and a narrow-edged knife in the other. They maintain a distance of ten steps from each other, so they can launch attacks at the first time and coordinate with each other.
, so that the entire area that can pose a threat to the cavalry traveling on the post road is basically covered.
???????? Along with the partridges and pheasant-like birds flying up from the trees, the cavalrymen also became a little nervous.
????????With a loud roar, a cavalryman landed on the ground, followed by the continuous bursts of crossbow bolts and the sound of slashing swords. Immediately, four or five cavalrymen dispersed, and twenty
The remaining archers had already spread out to form an attack line, and quickly pointed in the direction indicated by the cavalry and began to draw their bows and set arrows.
????????Feng Jinchang has already rode his horse to the front line. Duan Xipeng needs to take command, and he will be on the front line to hold down the battle. Fighting in battle is not his specialty, but he is not that incompetent.
The scholar, after all, has a body that has practiced martial arts for many years, and he is no stranger to horseback riding and archery.
????????"put!"
The archers skillfully fired the first round of arrows, and soon there were low or high screams from the woods.
Before the second round of arrows was released, a large group of ragged soldiers, or bandits, had already emerged from the woods and rushed towards the open area in a chaotic manner.
Feng Jinchang made a rough estimate and found that there were about fifty or sixty people. But if you include those who continued to rush out later, it was estimated that there should be one or two hundred people.
????????Feng Jinchang slowly drove his horse back, and also called on the archers to start to step aside in an orderly manner to form a trumpet-shaped gap, facing the rebel bandits who rushed out, and the second round of arrows
It poured out. In such a dense formation, there was almost no place to hide, and with no armor, at least seven or eight people fell to the ground.
????????As more than thirty riders swept in from the side and behind, the narrow-edged knives in their hands shone brightly in the sun, adding a bit of bloody atmosphere out of thin air.
Under such a combined attack, the rebel bandits, who had not received much formal military training, were powerless to resist. The cavalry's iron hooves passed by with a crash, and the entire formation collapsed amidst the terrifying screams.
Dozens of infantrymen followed closely, holding spears and running quickly to harvest this wave of enemies who had become prey.
Duan Xipeng did not participate in this wave. In his opinion, such a war is meaningless. It only poses a threat to his own side and is cleaned up by the way. In this case, one or two hundred people will
?????????Like a sneak attack on yourself, it would be too underestimated.
????????Maybe he can't deal with a rebel army of one or two thousand people, but he still thinks that this small group of rebels can be used to practice his skills.
????????A wave of harvesting eliminated this group of people, and the dozens of remaining prisoners took the initiative to explain the situation.
????????As expected, it was not the rebel army, but the participating bandits who had been hiding here. After most of the bandits had either gone west to Jiangzhou or south to Wenxi to find the rebel army, only the bandits were left.
They are reluctant to leave Dong Ze's home, but they can't hold on for long.
????????As the rebel army's offensive in the west becomes more and more fierce, fewer and fewer passing convoys and horses are seen on this road, so they will attack the people in front of them when they know that the people in front of them are not good.
Even though I was being provoked, I still had to take the risk. I was really hungry and couldn't stand it anymore.
?????????Disperse these bandits and captives and let them find their own way to survive. It seems that they can only go to Jiangzhou to join the rebel army. These bandits have no horses, so they are not worried about them spreading the news.
Duan Xipeng and his party continued to go south. At this time, Jiangzhou's rebel army had no time to catch up with him and his party, but the situation over Wenxi was even more dangerous. They didn't know that the Yi family's rebel army
Have you already moved towards Wenxi Anyi in the east?
