Peerless ruthless man, cut down the world

Chapter 311 Marquis Yun enters Beijing, the wind is surging

In the ninth year of Qingli, the first month.

Just after the end of the new year, Kyoto is still shrouded in the atmosphere of the New Year, and two more major events have been reported, which once again brought Kyoto into a surge of enthusiasm.

The first news is that both the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Jin Dynasty sent envoys to Xia Guo at the same time.

It was news that everyone in Kyoto, up and down, cheered.

Compared with other places, Kyoto is the power and political center of the Xia Kingdom. The knowledge and political influence of the people here, and the degree of attention to family and country affairs are far from other places. It brings together the entire Xia Kingdom. Talented people, even ordinary people can talk about the situation of the country.

While the Northern Wei Dynasty, Southern Jin Dynasty and Southern Jin Dynasty went to Xia Guo at the same time,

This is a very strong signal.

In the past, Xia Guo paid the old coins to the Northern Wei and Southern Jin Dynasties for 15 consecutive years, and the annual payment of the old coins was an astronomical figure, which brought heavy pressure on Xia Guo's taxes.

Until 15 years ago, the current emperor Ji Yi ascended the throne and broke the old currency system. For this reason, he fought a four-year war with the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Jin Dynasty. The war did not end until the sixth year of Zhidao. A truce ends in a tie.

In the same year, Ji Yi changed his reign name to Qingli.

From the first year of Qingli to the fifth year of Qingli, both the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Jin Dynasty were still fighting for the old coins, and there were occasional wars with Xia Guo on the border, and both countries directly refused to establish diplomatic relations with Xia Guo.

In the fifth year of Qingli, the relationship between the Northern Wei and Southern Jin suddenly deteriorated, and there was constant friction between them, which stopped the harassment of Xia. Until the beginning of the eighth year of Qingli, the friction between the Northern Wei and Southern Jin completely escalated, and the national war started.

And in the war between the two countries,
The Chengyang Marquis Rebellion also broke out in Xia.

But now, both the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Jin Dynasty suddenly sent envoys to Xia Guo.

In an instant, many people smelled a different taste,

All of a sudden, people in the capital were discussing this matter from the court to the public. Most people guessed that because the national wars between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Jin Dynasty were not over yet, Xia Guo solved its internal problems in a short period of time. , are worried that Xia will join the war.

Both the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Jin Dynasty were very worried about Xia Guoguo cooperating with his opponents, so they both chose to go to Xia Guoguo at the beginning of this year.

And this mission,

It means that the Xia Kingdom has finally taken the initiative among the Three Kingdoms, and it can also have a huge inspiring effect on the people.

However, in this case,

There are other theories. Many people suspect that it is because Xia Guoyun Hou Gu Zhan created a method of seeing the gods that may rewrite the rules of martial arts. Law.

All of a sudden, these two statements caused great waves in the Xia Kingdom.

And then,

The second big news came out,

Yunhou Gu Zhan went to Beijing for the first time.

The name of Marquis Yun Gu Zhan was almost a household name in the Xia Kingdom during the eighth year of the Qingli calendar. Not to mention the court, the sudden title of Marquis Bai Yunzhou Township General, was already in the court. The commotion was turned upside down, but if you want to say that the most sensational thing is naturally in the rivers and lakes.

Since ancient times, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

Ever since Gu Zhan spread the name of being invincible under the land gods, the number one master in the world, there was an uproar in the Jianghu of Xia Kingdom. At the end of the eighth year, the battle of Daomaguan, the direct battle to become the god, and the achievement of the title of number one in the world, shook the world.

The battle of Daomaguan was no longer limited to the rivers and lakes, but also spread among the people.

The battlefield of the three states has affected the entire Xia Kingdom,

The siege and suppression of the White Lotus Sect in Yunzhou was the final battle of the Three Provinces against the rebellion, and there were always various kinds of discussions, but Gu Zhan ended the war by himself, and was regarded as the God of War by countless people.

But now, Gu Zhan went to Beijing,

Naturally, it caused a great commotion, not to mention that he might be one of the reasons why the Northern Wei and Southern Jin were envoys to Xia.

For a while, the news of Gu Zhan's entry into the capital became more and more intense in the capital. Gu Zhan had already attracted the attention of all parties before he even arrived in the capital.

……

On February [-]nd, the dragon raised its head, and the spring was cold.

When Gu Zhan was still hundreds of miles away from the capital, the Yamen of the Jingzhao Mansion dispatched all the policemen to maintain order in the city, and the imperial city directly arranged for [-] Yulin soldiers to go out of the city to meet him.

When Gu Zhan's carriage was escorted by thousands of Yulin soldiers to Honglu Temple Road, it was full of people everywhere, amidst the hustle and bustle, and because Xia Guomin's style has always been relatively open, many women even went out on the street. Shouting to see if Marquis Yun is as graceful as the rumors say.

in the carriage,
Hearing those voices outside, Gu Zhan couldn't help but laugh.

For a long time, he has been rumored to be three feet tall, blue-faced and long-toothed, three-headed and six-armed, with a solar eclipse of hundreds of people, etc., which can achieve the image of a child crying at night, but since the battle of Daomaguan, his image in the outside world has changed. Diametrically opposed.

Especially when the court made it public that he was the youngest marquis in the Xia Kingdom in the past hundred years, many wind media commented that he was the number one young talent in the world today, and he was sought after by countless people. In the end, it was spread that his The image has become a jade tree facing the wind, majestic and majestic.

Even on the way Gu Zhan came, he heard rumors that the top ten beauties in the Jianghu had fallen in love with him at first sight, so he would not marry him. It was also rumored that he had a lifelong love affair with a certain famous heroine, and even There are the most outrageous rumors that he was originally a man in the Jianghu, and the reason why he wanted to be an official in the court was because he was in love with Gu Qingcheng, the most talented woman in Kyoto.

When he first heard the love stories with himself as the main character, Gu Zhan thought it was quite interesting, but after hearing more, Gu Zhan was speechless, cooperating with him for the past few years without doing anything, He has been in love all the time, and the most outrageous thing is that he has a love-hate relationship with the Southern Jin Empress...

Gu Zhan was really emotional. He was a little bit muttering about the brains of people in this era. He could understand some stories created by famous young women such as Gu Qingcheng and Qin Hongyi, but he was able to connect him with the Southern Jin empress. Together, he was really shocked.

After all, he was not even born when the Southern Jin Empress ascended the throne, and he, who has been in the Xia Kingdom, was able to have a love story with the Southern Jin Empress.

The carriage is slowly passing through the street,

Gu Zhan didn't get out of the carriage all this time, he got out of the carriage only after entering Honglu Temple.

Surrounded by officials from Honglu Temple, he entered a manor.

This manor is very luxurious and majestic, there are no less than a hundred servants and maids, just to serve him alone.

After everything was arranged properly, all the officials of Honglu Temple withdrew and left.

Gu Zhan himself brought a group of guards and immediately began to check the manor and make safety arrangements. Although Gu Zhan thought it was meaningless, it was arranged by Rong Yichu.

Because Rong Yichu still needs to preside over the overall situation in Yunzhou, so when he came to the capital this time, Rong Yichu did not go with him. A team of guards, one of the top masters was arranged by Kou Baimen, who was her fellow senior sister. Before leaving, Kou Baimen gave Gu Zhan a look that you understand, and then along the way, Gu Zhan did indeed understood.

In addition, there are several great masters drawn from the Yunzhou military and the Wulin League. If Gu Zhan's own situation is not considered, this guard force is indeed very strong.

……

At night, the full moon is in the sky.

Gu Zhan was eating when a guard came in from outside the door, cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, someone outside asked to see him, he said his name is Gu Chuan, and he told you to pick him up, otherwise he would not come in, he would have to stalk him, look, Shall we meet or drive away?"

A smile appeared on Gu Zhan's face, he quickly put down his chopsticks, and strode out the door.

As soon as I arrived at the outer courtyard, I heard a voice:
"Oh, I said big brother, can you stop staring at me like a thief, I am really a friend of your Lord Hou!"

"Oh, I said you, why are you so stubborn?"

"Do you believe it or not that I asked your Lord Hou to deduct your wages?"

"..."

Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Zhan couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said loudly: "The Gu Chuan I'm familiar with is serious and majestic, why is he acting so foolishly now?"

outside the door,

Gu Chuan was wearing plain clothes, staring at a tall guard.

Hearing Gu Zhan's voice, the guard stepped aside and bowed towards Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan nodded and walked outside the door.

Gu Chuan patted the tall guard's shoulder, then opened his arms, ran over and gave Gu Zhan a big bear hug, then thumped Gu Zhan's chest hard, and laughed loudly: "Amazing, brother, I couldn’t believe it even if I was beaten to death. The little brother I met in Linjiang City has now become the number one in the world. It’s so embarrassing to me. Don’t you know, tsk tsk tsk, I walk with the wind now !"

Gu Zhan smiled and said: "No, who told me to blow it out when I was in Linjiang City. If I didn't do it, wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face?"

At that moment, the scene of the last drink in Linjiang City flashed in the minds of the two of them.

At that time, both of them were quite drunk, and they walked shoulder to shoulder to the brothel,

Gu Chuan said grandly: "When I come to Kyoto in the future, if something happens, please report me Gu Chuan's name, it will be helpful!"

Gu Zhan patted Gu Chuan's name and said:
"On the day I come to the capital, you, Gu Chuan, have troubles all over the world. If you report me Gu Zhan's name, you will be able to cover it!"

in a trance,

Both of them seem to have returned to four years ago,
Back when I was in that small Linjiang City,
At that time, we went to brothels together, went to kill people together, drank Bawang wine together, and pissed three feet on the roof together in the wind!
Gu Chuan looked at Gu Zhan in front of him, looked up and down for a long time, his mouth was about to burst into laughter, but, smiling, he couldn't help his nose sore, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes,

He erased it in embarrassment, and then hugged Gu Zhan fiercely, choked up and said: "Brother, I really miss you!"

Gu Zhan patted Gu Chuan's back slowly, and said softly: "I have long wanted to come to the capital to see you!"

Gu Chuan wiped his nose with his sleeve, turned around with a smile and picked up two jars of wine from the ground, and said, "Come on, let's stop talking nonsense and drink, this is really good wine!"

Gu Zhan pulled Gu Chuan and said with a smile, "Let's go!"

The moonlight fell on the courtyard, and the laughter was rampant,
The shadows of the two shoulder to shoulder stretched very long.

Four years ago, Gu Chuan said, I am responsible for whether the brother I recognize is a human or a ghost!

Four years ago, Gu Zhan said, wait for me to cover you.

Four years ago, Gu Chuan said that the mountains are high and the water is far away, no matter what you encounter, just remember to come to the capital to find me!
Four years ago, Gu Zhan said, what are you afraid of being hacked, I will chop it back with you.

Four years ago, the two hacked people back to back. Gu Chuan left Gu Zhan with a three-year foundation overnight. Before leaving, the two made a promise to meet in Kyoto. , Gu Chuan begged his grandpa to tell his grandma to Bao Rong Yichu to enter Jixia Academy at all costs. Later, when he heard that Gu Zhan's family looked down on Gu Zhan, he left home in a rage!
Now, Gu Zhan came by appointment.

……

The two drank a lot of wine in the room and talked a lot, wishing they could finish all the things they hadn't said in the past four years in one night.

Until it is almost daylight,
Gu Chuan burped, and finally remembered to ask something serious, and said, "Isn't it convenient to talk here?"

Gu Zhan nodded and said: "Don't worry, with me here, no third person will hear our conversation."

Gu Chuan took off his shoes, raised his legs directly on the table, lay down on the chair, opened his clothes, blushed, smiled, and said: "It's almost dawn, if I don't ask about something serious, I'm afraid I'll have to go back." I was educated by my sister, hahaha..." While laughing, Gu Chuan suddenly came to Gu Zhan's side and asked, "How is it, my sister is pretty, right?"

Gu Zhan frowned, and said with a confused face: "This is what you are talking about?"

Gu Chuan waved his hand and said, "Didn't I say that back then, when you come to Kyoto, I will introduce my sister to you!"

Gu Zhan smiled lightly and said, "I'm afraid, because of this matter, you have been taught a lot by Miss Gu Qi, right?"

"Isn't that so," Gu Chuan said, "You don't know what my sister said at the beginning, what is it that you are an elder brother, how can you just joke about the important things in your sister's life? Then I went back and asked my wife to close the door, and I slept for a while Yue's study room doesn't even have a quilt!"

As he said that, Gu Chuan put his hand on Gu Zhan's shoulder, and said, "But, you don't know, a few months ago, my sister went to Yunxi to meet you, and she changed after she came back. Said, brother, you have such a good eye, you are so accurate at seeing people!"

Gu Zhan smiled and said, "I also think you are quite accurate in judging people."

"Hey," Gu Chuan said with a smile, "how about it, how about I introduce my sister to you?"

"Forget it, forget it," Gu Zhan waved his hand, and said, "I'm all about martial arts, and I don't care about anything else."

Gu Chuan: "That's not what you said when you visited brothels."

Gu Zhan: "That's just doing business!"

Gu Chuan curled his lips, and said: "But I heard that you have raised many people in your mansion, four of the top ten beauties in Yunxi are in your mansion now, and there is also Kou Baimen, the leader of the Wulin League in Yunzhou, um , It is said that I went to see that so-and-so in Yuncheng two days ago, what is the name of the first name of the Xinmen Art Museum in Yunzhou, I can’t remember, oh, yes, the girl who brought us wine just now, and You came here all the way from Yunzhou, hehe!"

The corner of Gu Zhan's mouth twitched, and he said, "How come you understand so clearly?"

Gu Chuan said speechlessly: "You didn't hide it. There are quite a few people in my Gu family under your command. Who can't see it?"

Gu Zhan smiled and said, "It's all right, but you still don't understand what's going on with those women?"

"Well," Gu Chuan nodded, and said, "That's right, then I won't introduce my sister to you, let's get down to business!"

Gu Chuan wiped his mouth, and said: "A few days ago, you made the inquiring matter clear. My Gu family knows something about Echigo 300 years ago. However, everyone has always listened to it as a story, but, according to Come to think of it, those legends may be true.

Echigo, who was born in a Dongtian-level family 300 years ago, was once brilliant. However, since Echigo fell, the Echigo family was liquidated and finally disappeared. Echigo had a very good reputation at the beginning. Called a generation of virtuous queens. "

Gu Zhan asked in surprise: "The empress?"

"That's right," Gu Chuan said, "Some of Echigo's legends do have historical facts that can be studied, but there are some legends of ghosts and ghosts interspersed in the middle."

Gu Zhan frowned slightly, and said, "Tell me specifically."

Gu Chuan thought for a while, and said: "In the past, I always listened to it as a story. It was rumored that when Echigo was 30 years old, he suffered an accident during a trip and lost his soul. The medicine stone was useless, and he could only wait for death.

Just when he was at a loss, a wandering Taoist appeared and pulled Echigo back from the ghost gate. However, he left a sentence saying that Echigo was unstable and needed to pray for the fox in the Linghu Cave in Qixia Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing. Blessed by immortals for three years.

Later, Echigo went to the Linghu Cave according to what the Taoist said, and he went there for three years. However, after returning for those three years, Echigo seemed to be a different person. Through various means, he cleared the harem again. , and fascinated the emperor at that time, and started the name of harming the country and the people. The emperor did not go to court all day because of her, and three thousand beauties abandoned them like shoe shoes. , known as the Shuangsheng Linchao in history.

There is another legend here, that is to say that Echigo was possessed by a fox demon in the spirit fox cave, and has already been replaced by another person. Therefore, the Echigo who is facing the court is not the real Echigo, but A vixen, of course, this matter is too similar to folk tales of ghosts and ghosts, no one has ever believed it.

Later, the court was controlled step by step by Echigo, the emperor became a puppet, and Echigo launched various wars, causing the people to live in dire straits, and was suppressed by the second sect of the Buddhist sect in the holy place of martial arts. It is rumored that two monks from the Five Realm Cave Heaven devoted all their efforts to cultivation Only suppressed.

This is the third legend, and according to real historical records, Echigo was seriously injured by two eminent monks of the second sect of Buddhism, and finally led the Echigo family to directly rebel and was suppressed, and finally committed suicide in the Zhaixing Tower. "

Gu Zhan frowned slightly, and said: "Combined with the situation I have now, that legend is somewhat more like the real situation."

Gu Chuan nodded and said: "So, based on Echigo's legend and historical records, if it is possible to hide her inherited skills, it is most likely the Linghu Cave in the suburbs of Beijing. However, if it is I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome to enter the Linghu Cave now."

Gu Zhan asked: "Why?"

Gu Chuan said: "The Spirit Fox Cave is on Qixia Mountain, and today's Qixia Mountain is where the Huben Camp of the capital garrison is located. With your cultivation, there is hope to sneak in, but the Spirit Fox Cave is closed, you have to go in , either you have the key, or you have to break the cave door, and the key, as far as I know, is the military talisman of the Huben camp. It is impossible to get it, and it is in the hands of His Majesty. Recently, you have been too conspicuous, and your every move has attracted attention!"

Gu Zhan murmured: "Is there a way? If not, then I can only force my way in. At worst, I will cover my face. No one has the ability to take off my mask!"

"Don't, don't, don't," Gu Chuan hurriedly said: "I'm just worried that you will have this idea, don't worry, my sister said, she has a way to operate, you should first prepare for the court affairs step by step during this time.

Your Majesty has been ill recently, and it seems to be quite serious. It has been several days since he went to court. The Huben camp needs regular inspections. It is very likely that the prince will go. My sister has a way to operate it, and then I can get it from the prince. Borrow a military talisman. "

Gu Zhan nodded and said, "That's fine, well, the emperor suddenly fell ill, what's going on?"

Gu Chuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I suddenly became ill and couldn't go to the court. The prince is acting as an agent to supervise the country these days, and Qin You, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor in Yunzhou, was given the responsibility to return to the court and be entrusted with the title." Delayed."

Gu Zhan frowned and said, "Then declare me into the capital?"

"It's an order to declare that you fell ill the next day after entering Beijing." Gu Chuan said, "Also, it is said that His Majesty had a dispute with the Empress in Weiyang Palace that day."

Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "The emperor is so narrow-minded, can he get sick from anger after arguing with his wife?"

"Who knows," Gu Chuan shook his head and said, "Two days ago, the prince received the delegations from the Northern Wei and Southern Jin Dynasties when they entered Beijing."

Gu Zhan asked again: "Speaking of which, I'm still a little puzzled. Why didn't I hear anything about the Northern Wei and Southern Jin missions to Xia Guo?"

"Don't talk about you," Gu Chuan said, "Even I didn't know until the missions of the two countries came to the suburbs of Beijing. However, the missions of the two countries did not come together, but one after the other. I was worried about the other party's tricks, so I chose to cross the border secretly, I only notified the royal family and Honglu Temple, and I didn't dare to put out the chariots and horses openly until I was in the hinterland of Daxia."

Gu Zhan nodded and said, "So that's the case."

Gu Chuan patted his head and said: "Well, the matter is almost finished, and it's almost dawn, I have to go back to my business. Apart from talking about this matter today, I also come to visit you on behalf of my Gu family."

After all, Gu Chuan put a hand on Gu Zhan's shoulder and said, "Brother, I know, in fact, Gu Qiao went to Yunxi before, and left without even saying hello. I'm not very satisfied, but after my sister went to Yunxi to find you, you didn't ask for any cooperation with the Gu family because it would be difficult for me to do so."

Gu Chuan patted his chest and said, "I know it all in my heart!"

Gu Zhan smiled and said: "Let's not talk about these, but talk about you, you are drunk, you can rest here!"

"No," Gu Chuan said, "I'll look for you tomorrow night, I have to go back to the Gu family today, and then I have to go to court, so don't even think about resting, if I'm not mistaken, the emperor will receive you today! "

……

Yunzhou, in the residence of the Marquis of Yun.

Rong Yichu was reviewing official documents when a middle-aged scribe came in, holding a pile of official documents on the table in front of Rong Yichu, and said: "Mr. Rong, these are the notes handed over by General Nangong. "

This middle-aged scribe came from the ancient family, named Gu Yao, because of his outstanding ability, he had met with Rong Yichu when he was in Kyoto, and was greatly appreciated by Rong Yichu. He was promoted to be a deputy at the beginning.

Rong Yichu looked at the ancient kiln and asked, "Has the letter from Lord Hou arrived today?"

"It's here." Gu Yao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Rong Yichu, saying, "However, this is the news before Lord Hou entered Beijing, it was three days ago."

Rong Yichu nodded slightly, took the letter and read it.

Since Gu Zhan left, he sent someone to send Gu Zhan's itinerary back to Yunxi on time and at a fixed point every day. However, because the distance is getting farther and farther away, the time gap between the letters is getting bigger and bigger. Now it has been three days apart. .

Gu Yao suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Rong, Master Hou may come back later than expected."

Rong Yichu asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Gu Yao said: "It's also news that came today. The missions from the Northern Wei and Southern Jin Dynasties have arrived in Kyoto. Lord Hou will be there just in time for the meeting, so he will definitely be involved in some things."

Rong Yichu suddenly frowned, and said, "When did the Northern Wei and Southern Jin missions enter Beijing? Why didn't we hear any news before?"

Gu Kiln said: "According to the news from the Gu family, it was because the Northern Wei and Southern Jin were worried that the other party would attack and block them, so they chose to sneak into Daxia secretly and didn't notify Honglu Temple until it was close to the capital. "

"That's it," Rong Yichu nodded slightly, suddenly, he suddenly raised his head, and said in surprise: "What did you say, Honglu Temple was notified when it was approaching the capital, isn't it the Honglu Temple that communicated first?"

Gu Yao nodded and said: "It's like this... What's the matter, Mr. Rong, is there any problem?"

"It's not normal," Rong Yichu said with a frown, "It seems reasonable, but if they want to win over Daxia, they should notify Honglu Temple in advance even if they hide. After all, it is too risky to sneak in. If someone uses it, it may have a counterproductive effect... something is wrong, um, is there any other news from the capital?"

Gu Yao said: "There is no special news, but I heard that His Majesty suddenly became seriously ill, and now the prince is in charge of the country!"

Rong Yichu's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "It's over!"

Gu Yao asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Rong Yichu said in a deep voice: "I dare to rest assured to let Lord Hou enter Beijing because I believe that His Majesty will not dig his own grave against Lord Hou because of the law of seeing God, but if it is the crown prince... then It's hard to say, and what a coincidence!"

Gu Yao asked suspiciously: "Mr. Rong, do you suspect that the crown prince has disobedience?"

Rong Yichu said slowly: "I don't believe that the crown prince will put Xia Guosheji as the most important thing. The royal family... sounds glorious, but in fact, the ones who really control the world are the imperial family Ji family and the relatives of the Lu family!"

While talking, Rong Yichu suddenly stood up and said: "You immediately notify the leader Kou and General Nangong, gather all the people, and wait for my order to act immediately!"

The ancient kiln asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

Rong Yichu's face was gloomy, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Attack Shuntian Mansion and Qin Tianjian, take down Yunzhou completely, and attack the capital!"
