The atmosphere in the lobby went from tense to the melting of ice and snow very quickly. Gao Changfeng originally wanted to use the grudge between the court and the Shen family to win over Shen Kuang, but he never thought that using both kindness and power would be of no use to Shen Kuang.
Gao Changfeng didn't want to make enemies with Shen Kuang because of this, so he didn't stay for long after that.
When Gao Changfeng left the Lin family, Shen Kuang walked all the way to the door. Shen Kuang's eyes couldn't help but fall on the old man, because there was a real murderous intention in the old man's eyes at some point before .
Gao Changfeng never looked back, and Shen Kuang turned around and closed the door quietly.
Walking on the road, Gao Changfeng finally showed his displeasure. The old man beside him also felt Gao Changfeng's condition and asked , "Master, can we continue the secret arrangement of the Lin family?"
Gao Changfeng sneered and sa
Huang Jiulang, who works at the Jinling city gate, has been living quite well these days. The chaos in the outside world cannot affect minor officials like him, and the more times like this, the less things they can touch upon, and the lower the danger.Huang Jiulang, after all, graduated from one of the Four National Academy of Chinese Studies. In the eyes of others, as a scholar, Huang Jiulang's status is much higher than theirs, and his future is limitless.However, Huang Jiulang never became arrogant because of this, so he had a good relationship with his superiors and subordinates, and he was doing very well.Not to mention becoming rich and powerful, Huang Jiulang is quite satisfied with his current life.Huang Jiulang would occasionally think of the mysterious man who suddenly appeared and disappeared a long time ago. He later contacted Qu Jiangjin according to the secret message, but his life did not change because of it.Later, as time w
There is a flute-playing tower by the Yuhuo River, and the city is covered with crowds of people. There was no bright moon for several nights in Gusu, which took away half of Wu Palace's sorrow.The small bridge with flowing water remains here. Occasionally, passers-by pick up their bags and continue on their way.Chuiye and Yuan Daguang never went to talk to Su Yao. No one asked about their coming and going, as if they just met each other by chance.A shop without wine has wine today, and the same will be true yesterday and tomorrow.The black-sailed boat is rocking, Shantang Street, Hengtang Road, the way is clear.After passing Gusu, we traveled by horse and carriage at high speed and arrived in Jinling in just a few days.When Su Yao and others arrived outside Jinling City, they happened to meet Princess Xu Yanran of Xiangdong leaving Beijing, so they were stopped outside the city.They were not allowed to enter the city until the
In the morning, the convoy of Princess Xiangdong's Prince was able to pass smoothly through the city gate when leaving Beijing. This was naturally all thanks to Huang Jiulang's arrangement.He was able to relax only after he and his subordinates received the convoy.Because the city gates no longer strictly checked people entering and leaving the city, Huang Jiulang and others were left with nothing to do after the convoy left.Huang Jiulang and his colleagues did a great job in completing their assignments, which was noticed by their superiors, so they were rewarded.As night fell, the atmosphere in the city gradually became lively. However, there were bound to be fewer guests in the city today, especially along the Qinhuai River .Most of the young men with status in their families will be able to follow their fathers into the palace tonight to attend His Majesty's banquet. As for those who did not go, they are naturally of lower status.
Guanfeng County, Miansicheng .Under the arrangements of Shen Kuang and Gong Ruhui , the Lin family had to join the Ruan family's caravan and left Miansi City safely just before nightfall .After sending the team out of the city until it disappeared from sight, Shen Kuang and Lin Wanzhao finally relaxed.Qin Han and other Ruan family ministers did not go with the team, but they would escort Ruan Shuiyan away tonight and take another way.with Ruan Shuiyan was considered accidental, but it was a great help to Shen Kuang , so Shen Kuang and Ruan Shuiyan said sincere thanks before leaving .Ruan Shuiyan , who was simple-minded, accepted it happily this time. In Ruan Shuiyan's words, it was a courtesy.Ruan Shuiyan, under the protection of Qin Han and others, first led Shen Kuang and Lin Wanzhao out of the city.Because going to Donghai City would require a long journey, and Lin Wanzhao was not suitable for riding a horse, Shen Kuang boug
When the carriage slowly drove into Donghai City, Shen Kuang's mood was so mixed that he didn't even know how to describe that feeling.It was both the first time for Shen Kuang and Lin Wanzhao to come here, but unlike Lin Wanzhao, Shen Kuang seemed to have infinite tolerance for this place in his heart. He did not find it strange, even though this place was equally strange to him.The carriage passed by slowly, and the scenes in the city were imprinted in their eyes.Donghai City has gathered countless Jianghu families and sects, large and small, and since the Jianghu disaster more than twenty years ago, Donghai City has actually slowly faded out of the sight of Jianghu people.If there is a big river and lake outside the city, then the city is made up of small rivers and lakes.What is different from other big cities is that after entering the city, what can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road are not shops selling a wide range of good
Since the two major families started fighting, Dugu Chong has strictly blocked the war in Guanfeng County and the areas to the east, preventing the war from spreading out at all.The housekeeper's war has not offended the common people for the time being. This is also a reflection of the villagers Shen Kuang and Lin Wanzhao met before.The Xianbei Murong tribe who wanted to go south from the northeast to join the two major families was also surrounded by troops sent by Dugu Chong outside Jibei Pass. Xianbei Murong simply wanted to take this opportunity to gain some benefits from the two major families. If the two major families If they win, the benefits will be greater, but if they lose, they won't lose much. They have no reason to refuse a hugely profitable deal.And even if they lost the bet, the Wei court would not waste manpower and money to attack a small tribe like theirs.So after encountering the imperial army outside Jibei Pass, the Murong tri
The moment he walked into the Shen family compound, Shen Kuang could already feel some dilapidation, and the scattered rubble everywhere he saw told the past of this place.It wasn't last night, it was a long time ago.Some parts of the old house have probably been covered with a thick layer of dust since no one has been there for a long time.Maybe he had seen too many scenes like this, so Shen Hua didn't feel any ups and downs. He told Shen Kuang that it was all because of his loss of popularity.The old man said that the house also has a spirit. Without its popularity, it will soon decline.As he talked, the old man unconsciously mentioned the past.The old man smiled and said that back then, the Shen family had an endless stream of guests coming to their door every day, not to mention its popularity.But the old man could not continue talking about this topic for too long, not because he could not but because he did not dare.
Shen Kuang and Su Yao finally spoke alone. Lin Wanzhao deliberately left space for the two of them. Lin Wanzhao knew that the two of them must have a lot to say when they met unexpectedly.Shen Kuang and Su Yao stood opposite each other, and neither spoke at first.The two had walked together on a long journey to escape, but in the end they ended up hastily.When meeting Shen Kuang again, Su Yao was obviously a little embarrassed, but Shen Kuang was much more indifferent.In fact, it may not be deliberately indifferent but to cover up the ups and downs in the heart."Long time no see." Su Yao said softly later.When she spoke, she and Shen Kuang still maintained their original distance, and no one came closer.When Shen Kuang heard this, he responded, "Long time no see."This kind of encounter was probably not what the two of them expected. One felt guilty, but the other didn't know how to face it.So they probably think t
Those thousands of knots, thousands and thousands , pass by with the wind, moistening things silently.Actually, I had been going to Louwailou for a long time, but fortunately, I finally had the opportunity this time and had a serious name.At first, Li Chengren and others planned to take Shen Kuang with them. After all, they were the elders in the family and they should come forward.But not long after, everyone received a letter from Louwailou. It was sent by Jiang Taixuan himself, and the general meaning of the letter was that Shen Kuang was allowed to go to Louwailou alone.Although Li Chengren, Zhu Tan and others were also surprised, they knew that Jiang Taixuan would not harm Shen Kuang, so they had to agree in the end, while Jiang Ning was apologetic.Dugu Nanqiao and Lin Wanzhao wanted to accompany Shen Kuang, but it seemed inappropriate to change the angle.Because of this, Li Chengren and the remaining people returned early.
How could Taeyeo tolerate hearing someone dare to take advantage of him like this ? Except for Yuan Daguang, it seems...As Taeyeono was thinking about this, he suddenly felt that the voice just now was very familiar.Chui Ye came to his senses and suddenly turned his head. The person standing next to the horse right in front of his sight was none other than Yuan Daguang .Taeye looked Yuan Daguang up and down, and he didn't know if it was the training on the battlefield that made Taeye feel that Yuan Daguang's previous unreliability was gone. After growing his beard, Yuan Daguang seemed to look much more pleasing to the eye.Seeing Chui Ye remained silent for a long time, Yuan Daguang laughed and scolded again, "It's been such a short time since we last met, have you forgotten me, Master Chui?"Upon hearing this , Taeyeono said, "How dare I? I heard that you were given an official position in the north. Things are different now."Hearing T
After all, a foreign land is not home. On this day of universal celebration, the prison of Jiantiansi is still deserted.Tang Mu sat at the desk, with paper and pen in front of him that the guard had just brought him.Yuan Ke ordered that all of Tang Mu's requirements here be met , so the guards did not usually be too harsh on Tang Mu.Tang Mu 's right hand holding the pen never fell down, and there were no clearly discernible words on the white paper except for the ink stains.Tang Mu had a lot to say, but he couldn't even write a single sentence.At some point, the two guards on duty brought in wine and food, "Your Highness, this is the food our master ordered to be brought to you."Tang Mu took a glance when he heard this and found that the food tonight was particularly better.Seeing this, Tang Mu smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your help. Is there any happy event tonight? Why is the food so delicious?"The guard did
That day, outside the city of Luoyang, all civil and military officials, as well as the common people, came to welcome the triumphant return of Gao Huan's troops.At the front of the team, the more than one hundred people from Gao Huan's army, including Li Zhi, were enjoying the approving gazes of everyone.Li Zhi, who had not set foot on his hometown for many years, was actually already feeling secretly excited and expectant after entering the country.Li Zhi observed the whole journey carefully, but most things were different from those in the past, even the emperor had changed.Officials from various places were waiting for the triumphal procession as they passed through the borders along the way, but in order to hurry on their way, the army basically just passed by.Everyone knew that after this incident, Gao Huan would soon be granted the title of nobility and appointed as prime minister, so some local officials even wanted to take the oppor
Before Rehancha's army of nearly 10,000 people arrived at Gerenda, they had already received the news that the royal court had fallen.The Wei army of 60,000 was waiting in full battle array, so how could they dare to return? So for the sake of safety, the army had to go north and find another safe area to station.By the time Yuwen Tai's army arrived outside the royal court, Gao Huan's troops had already taken over.Shen Kuang and Yuan Daguang also followed suit and saw the Royal Court of Rouran for the first time . Shen Kuang could not help but think of Tang Mu, whom he had met several times.According to Yuan Daguang, the Rouran Royal Court was built according to the highest city standards of the Wei Dynasty, so it was a rare strong city on the grassland, which was unmatched by Gerenda.Walking side by side with Yuan Daguang on the wide street, there are trembling Rouran people standing on both sides of the road. What makes Shen Kuang a little strang
When Gao Huan led the remaining one hundred or so men to retreat eastward and saw the fluttering flag of the Wei army on the top of the Gerenda city wall, even a strong man like Gao Huan couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.It has been a long time since I made the bold decision to lead my troops deep into the grasslands.The army had no place to call home on this unfamiliar grassland where there was danger of death everywhere.In the army, except for Li Zhi, Mo Ke and Wen Yi who looked better, the others, including Gao Huan, had no longer the charm they once had after experiencing all this wind and sun.They all had beards and looked very sloppy.In fact, the appearance of Gao Huan's troops had been discovered by Wei army scouts long before, but seeing that these one hundred people dared to approach the heart of the central army, it was tantamount to committing suicide, so the scouts only reported it and did not take action immediately.
By the Changting Lake, in Wanlai Village, this northern village knew about the great victory on the northern battlefield even earlier than Luoyang in the south.Zhen, who had long since taken off his official robes , was now fishing alone by the Changting Lake. The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the lake, making the waves sparkle and the sky appear the same color.Yan Lanzhou came from the village and brought news of the great victory on the northern front.Yuan Zhen was not surprised to hear the news, but he did not understand why the Wei Dynasty, which was obviously stronger than the Rouran in all aspects, lost so badly in the first battle.After Yan Lanzhou finished telling the news, he did not leave but squatted beside Yuan Zhen .Zhen, who had not caught any fish before, smiled and said, "No fish has taken the bait today, so I guess I will return home empty-handed."Yan Lanzhou shook his head and said, "A few fish are no
This caravan is naturally Lin Wanzhao and the others, and the one who looks like he has never seen the world is Lin Chongshan.Originally, after being warned by Shen Kuang, Lin Chongshan did not dare to leave Lingshan City with Lin Wanzhao and others at will. But this time it was different, the news was received in advance.That was the news brought by the people who were ordered to protect the Lin family before Jiang Ning rushed to Luoyang, but Jiang Ning also said that Shen Kuang might have gone north because of the delay.But Lin Wanzhao didn't care about these. She was not afraid as long as there was a chance.a coincidence that my family had a batch of goods to be shipped to Luoyang .a small share of Luoyang's business was also due to the Ruan family, especially Ruan Shuiyan's matchmaking.Unfortunately, Lin Wanzhao and the others were still a step late. By the time they arrived in Luoyang, Shen Kuang and Yuan Daguang had already gone
the top priority for the imperial court or the new emperor Yuan Ke .The accumulated problems in Pingcheng had already left the imperial court with no solution, and now this result had even solved a big problem for Yuan Ke .But whether it is good or bad, you don’t have to worry about it for the time being.had infiltrated the Rouran rear without anyone noticing, the news gradually spread in the city.Gao Huan, this long forgotten name was mentioned again. Everyone only remembered that the last time Gao Huan was mentioned was when he led troops as a general in the army and killed more than a thousand Rourans.Gao Huan's move had never even been noticed before, so when it was mentioned again, it was hard not to associate it with Yuwen Tai's plan.Some people said that this was a big chess game played by Yuwen Tai, who intended to take this opportunity to eliminate the threat of Rouran in one fell swoop . Others said that this was an unexpect
