Confused Escort Confused Account

The rivers and lakes are far away, and the temples are high.

On the surface, the two are completely different from each other. The prodigal son disdains the fame in the temple, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries also regard the disputes between warriors as child's play.However, since ancient times, the two have always been inseparable. The temple is above, and the rivers and lakes are below.

Back to 200 years ago, when the Great Sui Dynasty was founded.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, was heroic and brave. Taking advantage of the current situation, he rose up and successively pacified the Northern Zhou, Chen, and Liang states, ended the long troubled times, and unified the Central Plains.

Although the Central Plains was settled, the foreign countries were still arrogant and rampant, especially the Turkic people who were difficult to invade for several times, disturbing the livelihood of the frontier people.However, the outer borders are remote and dangerous, and it is not easy to fight in depth. Few officers and soldiers in the DPRK and China can take on the important task of leading the army.Emperor Wen thought of a way-to borrow the power of Jianghu.

At the foot of Huashan Mountain, Emperor Wen widely spread heroic invitations and held an oath-taking meeting. People from the rivers and lakes who came to form alliances, regardless of their backgrounds, men, women, and children, were treated with the courtesy of scholar-bureaucrats.At his instigation, people from all corners of the country came to help him, forming a team for the Northern Expedition.

The Battle of the Northern Expedition lasted for more than five years, and the Turks finally surrendered and surrendered.After the triumphant return of Emperor Wen, he kept his promise. In addition to increasing officials and rewards, he also rewarded his allies in the world with rare treasures. Among them are four unique and rare treasures—Golden Clothes, Kunwu Sword, Purple Cloud Cauldron, and Yulong Seal—— Gifted to the loyal four families at that time,

The Yuan family was originally just a bandit living in the frontier, making a fortune by plundering.After receiving the golden thread clothes from Emperor Wen, the Patriarch of the Yuan family washed his hands from the golden basin and stopped doing evil.

The Jiang family was originally a sword-making family. Their ancestors were all blacksmiths. They made a living by forging swords and forging knives.Later, Emperor Wen gave the Jiang family the unparalleled famous sword "Kunwu" as a reward.

Zhao Shitu rode in front of the escort car, shaking his head and talking a lot.Luo Huan supported his head, looked out of the car window, and said impatiently: "The stories you told have all been written in books, so they are not secrets at all."

Yan Wuhua was also sitting in the car and explained: "Of course the secret doesn't refer to these. These are all well-known records, but it's just a long time ago. Many famous families at that time have now turned from prosperity to decline and have been replaced by rising stars. Apart from themselves, how many people will remember their glorious past? Even my father didn’t know how precious it was when he gave it to my mother. That secret was only after he became the head of the family. It was learned from the mouth of the ancestors."

Luo Huan didn't refute, so he pouted and said, "Mr. Yan, why bother to speak for him?"

Yan Wuhua smiled, and continued: "But I think the bandits should know some facts, so they will snatch the golden thread clothes at any cost."

Zhao Shitu nodded and said, "If the mastermind behind the thieves group is Tubo State Master Daloma, the secret must be very important."

What is the more important secret than money? Could it be related to the rivers and lakes and even temples.

Yan Wuhua said: "Fortunately, they didn't succeed last time, so this time, we must find Kunwu Sword before them."

Although Luo Huan saw that Zhao Shitu was not pleasing to the eye, he kept his ears up and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two. At this moment, he finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Then what is the name of the Kunwu sword?"

Zhao Shitu immediately turned to him, and deliberately said in a slow tone: "The name is great. The reason why famous swords are called famous swords is of course that they are arrogant and unparalleled. It is said that a scholar didn't believe him. He went to Jiangfu to ask for a meeting. The moment the sword was unsheathed, I was immediately convinced, and even composed a poem for it, which reads, "Jade is cut when the white rainbow comes, and stars are dried at night with purple air, the hibiscus moves on the neck, and the frost and snow shine in the box."

Luo Huan was confused and complained, "I don't understand the polite words."

Zhao Shitu said with a smile: "It is to praise its brilliance like hibiscus coming out of water, frost and snow falling to the ground, its power can cut jade and cover stars."

Luo Huan didn't believe it: "Is there really such a sword in the world?"

Zhao Shitu's smile deepened: "Didn't you wear the golden robe yourself? There are many things in the world that you don't know."

"As if you know everything." Luo Huan couldn't help but turn his head away, "I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Zhao Shitu said: "Actually, you don't have to come with me."

Luo Huan stomped his feet, then glared at him and said, "I want to come!"

Seeing his vivid expression, Zhao Shitu couldn't help laughing, and reached out to rub his head.

Luo Huan could only hide back, but the carriage was too narrow, and he accidentally bumped into Shangguanqing's shoulder.

Shangguan Qing was carving wood, but with a shake of his hand, the tip of the knife on the wood tilted, drawing an ugly mark on the wooden man's face.

When Luo Huan realized that he was in trouble, his shoulders could not help but tighten, not daring to look into Shangguanqing's eyes.

But Shangguanqing didn't blame him, he just threw the semi-finished product that failed to be carved at hand, took a piece of wood from the bag, put it in the palm of his hand, and started from the beginning.

He is really a man of great perseverance. I don't know how many pieces of wood he has carved. If it is for practicing hand skills, it must be very useful, because the wooden figures he carved are more and more realistic, with a stable and tall figure. The expressions are so lifelike that they can even be sold in the market for money.

But he didn't appreciate his own work, he put it aside casually after carving, even if he was surprised like just now, he didn't care.

Seeing the ashamed look on Luo Huan's face, Yan Wuhua persuaded: "Let's be quiet, don't make noise, even Miss Mingyue is asleep."

After hearing this, Zhao Shitu went to see the condition of Mingyuezhu.

She sat in the innermost position, with her shoulders leaning against the car window, her head lowered, her eyelids half closed, and the hair on her shoulders fell to her temples with the bumps of the carriage.

Zhao Shitu looked at it for a while, then said with a smile, "Azhu, you didn't sleep, did you?"

The person who was asleep raised his eyelids and said, "How do you know?"

Zhao Shitu said: "Usually when you sleep in the car, you sleep with your head up. Sometimes you even...and..." Under the other party's stare, he didn't say the following three words "drool".

Ming Yuezhu sighed softly: "I didn't sleep, I was just in a daze."

Yan Wuhua said: "Miss Mingyue, what are you worried about?"

Ming Yuezhu smoothed the hair on her temples back to her ears, and said lightly: "Revisiting the old place, it is inevitable to be a little emotional."

Zhao Shitu was surprised: "Old place? Have you ever been to Xingyuan Mansion?"

Xingyuan Mansion is exactly where Jiang's family is located, and it is also the direction where the escort car is heading.

Ming Yuezhu nodded and said, "I have been."

Zhao Shitu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What kind of place is that?"

Mingyuezhu was silent for a while, and replied: "There are mountains and waters, it's a very good place."
