Castle Peak Does Not Change [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

This is very embarrassing.

Sure enough, love is like a star, is it not bright if it is not bright?

Actually it is not.

Chu Liuxiang was tortured, but it didn't mean that other people, such as Zuo Mingzhu, also suffered such inhumane abuse.Naturally, what she likes is not Miss Shi Yinshi, who is of the same sex, but Xue Bin, the young master of Xuejiazhuang who has a feud with Throwing Cup Villa, that is, Xue Yiren's son and Shi Yin's fiancé.

In detail it is this:

Zuo Mingzhu likes Xue Bin, and Shi Yin also loves someone else, so these four young people who fell in love came up with a trick "Li Daitao stiff".Zuo Mingzhu and Shi Yin pretended to be terminally ill, and then "passed away" at the same time, and then pretended that Shi Yin had sex with Zuo Mingzhu, so that Zuo Mingzhu could marry Xue Bin as she wished when she became Shi Yin, And Shi Yin, who escaped by feigning death, can also elope with her lover, isn't that what makes everyone happy?

At least for the four of them, everyone is happy. As for the grief of the elders, what does that have to do with them.

And Chu Liuxiang is also the most important part of their plan, because they need Chu Liuxiang to convince Zuo Qinghou that it is true to resurrect the dead.However, they never expected that an unreasonable Western Jade would appear on the way, and this person instilled in them a rough diagnosis of "only envy mandarin mandarins and not immortals", which made Zuo Mingzhu, who pretended to be Shi Yin, feel in her heart. After receiving too much impact, he was caught off guard and exposed himself.

Leaving aside how the cheating Zuo Mingzhu will face the anger of his old father, Chu Liuxiang, who no longer participates in family affairs, came out of the Throwing Cup Villa, thinking of what happened after reading the letter earlier. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

There will never be anything else in the future. I need to work to the prince of Qiuci, right?

I don't know if it's because Chu Liuxiang's luck is often against the sky. During the long period of time he thought about it, he really didn't have anything to do with outside the customs—after leaving Songjiang Mansion, Chu Liuxiang returned to him and Su Rongrong. On the big ship where the three women often stayed, they continued to be his famous bandit commander.

In fact, Chu Liuxiang didn't often encounter any shocking cases. After all, if there were often strong winds and waves in the world, then so many people in the world would not yearn for it.Normally, Chu Liuxiang would still be the same as usual, when he learned that there was a precious treasure in the family of a prince or noble, he would first send an invitation to tell him that he would steal the treasure under the moonlight. steal the treasure.Of course, this is only occasionally, and more often he will use the information collected by Li Hongxiu to help the people who need to be helped, such as sending a sum of gold and silver to someone's widow, and sending it to the funeral person. Funeral expenses and more.

In fact, all the gold and silver that Chu Liuxiang spent on helping the poor was earned by himself, and he even had his own manor and fields, but not many people knew about it.Probably because of this, many people gossip about him secretly, thinking that he is doing business for personal gain, but there are more people who have received Xiangshuai's favor, and there are also many friends who sincerely make friends with him. Otherwise, how could Chu Liuxiang get a "thief handsome" "What about the name?

After nearly half a year like this, when Chu Liuxiang just returned to the ship from Bashu, Li Hongxiu said to him abruptly: "Brother Chu, do you know that our country is likely to go to war with the country of Kucha?" ?”

Chu Liuxiang was taken aback: "What's going on?"

Li Hongxiu sighed and said, "I'm actually not very clear about the specifics. After all, it's all about the court. It's just that someone from the Beggar Gang came to look for Brother Chu some time ago. They knew that Brother Chu had some connection with the Western Regions before. He muttered a few words, as if the country of Qiuci was at war with its neighbors, and the neighbors couldn't stand it anymore and sent envoys to Beijing, as if they wanted to seek support from us Han."

Li Hongxiu followed Chu Liuxiang to the King's Palace in Kucha before, and she still has contact with the black pearl who lives in the desert, so after speaking, she looked at Chu Liuxiang's expression, thought for a while and said: "It's possible Being able to fight is just my worst thinking, after all, I don’t know much about the affairs of the court.” Here I have to talk about the relationship between Jianghu and the court, the two are often very different However, the imperial court also maintained a posture of turning a blind eye to the rivers and lakes, and most people in the rivers and lakes separated their own rivers and lakes from other aspects.

Like them, the people who get in touch with the most on weekdays are the people in the rivers and lakes.

As for the previous Kucha Kingdom, it may be because people from the rivers and lakes such as Shi Guanyin, Wuhua and Heizhu were involved, and the attitudes shown by Princess Pipa, His Royal Highness the King of Kucha and others were also very approachable, and everyone All these things blurred the boundary between the two, so that they didn't feel a lot of awe towards the members of the royal family of Kucha.

Now this news involving words such as country and country, and the two countries are at war is like a wake-up call, making them clearly aware of the differences between them. From an objective point of view, there is a natural moat between them.

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose involuntarily, he was very clear that this was not something he could get involved in, but he finally inquired more about the inside story.

Then, he found out that the Shule Kingdom had been annexed by the Kucha Kingdom, and that the Kucha Kingdom and their side were not only living in peace, but even almost had a good relationship between Qin and Jin.

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

What about "encircling Wei and saving Zhao"?

What about turning against each other?

Well, of course Xiangshuai does not want the Central Plains and the Kucha Kingdom to go to war, because no matter which country wins, it will be the people on both sides who will suffer.It might be a little brash to say this, but from his own point of view, he doesn't want to lose his friends, and Lanzhou, where Ji Bingyan is located, is also close to Yumen Pass.Anyway, Chu Liuxiang was so powerless, not because what Li Hongxiu said to him made him subconsciously feel that the situation was serious, after all, it involved a war between countries.

But the result?

Chu Liuxiang went to inquire with anxiety, but found that his news was too late. He had already finished his work, and the progress was almost at the point of getting married and having a child (...), and it was this psychological gap that made Chu Liuxiang go Time doesn't know what to say.

When Chu Liuxiang regained his composure, his attention could not help but be attracted by the almost marriage between the Central Plains and the Kucha Kingdom.Without knowing the details, Chu Liuxiang made a careful guess:

The reason why the marriage between the two countries failed was not because the Central Plains wanted to marry a princess, but it turned out that the princess was useless?

About this question?

It can only be said that Xiangshuai's thinking is pretty much the same.

To clarify this matter, we have to start with the Shule Kingdom sending envoys to the Central Plains.

It was mentioned earlier that the Shule Kingdom wants to unite with its neighbors. The neighbors of the Shule Kingdom include the Shache Kingdom, Wusun and Dawan.In terms of geographical location, Wusun is in the north of Shule Kingdom, which is far away from their country, while Dawan is in the west of Shule Kingdom, and only Shache Kingdom is in the southeast of Shule Kingdom.If the Nashule Kingdom wants to unite with other countries, it must have a common goal with other countries. From a geographical point of view, the Shache Kingdom is undoubtedly the best choice, because the two countries are closer to the Kucha Kingdom.

But the Shache Kingdom has a very natural advantage. It is located under the great desert. The Kucha Kingdom obviously has no interest in the Great Desert. In addition, the Silk Road has to be mentioned, because if you look at the Silk Road, the Kucha Kingdom has no interest in the desert. There is the northern route of the Silk Road in the country of Zi. From the country of Qiuci, it passes through the country of Shule, and then goes further west from the country of Shule.As for the Shache Kingdom, it is a necessary place on the southern route of the Silk Road. After leaving the Shache Kingdom, it has to pass through the Shule Kingdom. It is really because of this that the Kucha Kingdom wants to annex Shule Kingdom as a hub. Le country.

After the Shache Kingdom learned that the Kucha Kingdom was interested in it, it began to hesitate whether to unite with the Shule Kingdom.Let’s unite. We will automatically stand opposite the Kucha Kingdom. If we don’t unite, who knows whether the Kucha Kingdom will turn around and annex Shule Kingdom after annexing it.

The Shache Kingdom was hesitant, and the Shule Kingdom hadn't talked to Wusun and Dawan, so it had to "find another way", that is, to seek help from the Central Plains.This trick shows that wisdom is not so wise, because from Shule Kingdom to the east via Shache Kingdom, Khotan Kingdom passes through Yangguan Pass and enters Yumen Pass, then passes through Yumen Pass through Zhangye, and then rushes from Zhangye to Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty. Generally far away.

It can be said that the envoys of the Shule Kingdom had just arrived in Chang'an, and the news came that the Qiucha Kingdom had flattened the Shule Kingdom.

The scene was very embarrassing.

Not only the envoys of the Shule Kingdom were embarrassed, but even the civil and military officials who were arguing endlessly about whether to support the Shule Kingdom in the Jinluan Hall were also extremely embarrassed.

What about the continuous flames of war?

What about the saying that "the two countries are at war, and they will not be beheaded"?

——The envoy of the Shule Kingdom With the collapse of the Shule Kingdom, he can no longer be called an envoy of the Shule Kingdom, can he?

cough.

For the Central Plains side, they were not too inclined to send troops from the beginning, otherwise when the Kucha Kingdom first went east to invade the Yanqi Kingdom, they would have sent troops outside the pass.What's more, it is the Shule Kingdom located to the west of the Kucha Kingdom that is now being destroyed. Of course, the Central Plains does not want to see the Kucha Kingdom become so strong, but the two countries have never had friction before, let alone war. If the Central Plains If this side rashly launches a war against the Kucha Kingdom, wouldn't it be an unidentified teacher?

Shule Kingdom's request for support could have been a reason to send troops, but what happened?The war between the Kucha Kingdom and the Shule Kingdom ended so quickly, which made the Central Plains very suspicious that the Shule Kingdom was fragile. From the perspective of the vast territory of the Central Plains, its size is not as large as a county on their side.

All in all, in the end, the Central Plains had no legitimate reason to send troops, and wanted to avoid future disputes, so someone proposed a marriage marriage, that is, they married a princess from the Central Plains, so that the two countries could marry Qin and Jin.

There was nothing wrong with this, but the problem also lies here.

It is true that there is an unmarried prince in the Kingdom of Kucha, but he has no intention of getting married, not to mention that he is not favored by the outside world, even if the princess marries him, it will not do much to promote friendly exchanges between the two countries.

But besides this unfavored prince, the King of Kucha has only one Princess Pipa. Princess Pipa will become the new king in the future, but can the original princess marry her?

Of course not, isn't this against the rules?

Taking a step back, after the Central Plains princess and the affinity did not get along, the Central Plains side did not think of changing the princess to the prince. They only considered that Princess Pipa would never come to the Central Plains. ?

For Zhongyuan, this kind of thing is definitely detrimental to Tianwei.

How does this fit and how does it fail, so there is a saying that they almost got married later. Of course, the two countries have successfully reached an agreement on other aspects, such as trade.

In any case, the fighting has stopped, and the next step for the Kucha Kingdom is to strengthen the rule over the former Shule Kingdom, assimilate the former Shule Kingdom from all aspects, and make it a part of the Kucha Kingdom.

And this part is not in the scope of Shi Guanyin's attention. In fact, she doesn't care about any part. She is not very interested in this aspect. Enthusiasm, or other reasons, anyway, she is now very keen to maintain Wuhua's status in the King's Palace of Kucha.

For example, when there were signs of marriage between the two countries, Shi Guanyin said to Wuhua with a smile after learning that the Central Plains might replace the princess with the prince, "I haven't dealt with the prince yet."

The translation is that she hasn't slept with the prince yet, and she doesn't mind sleeping with one. In other words, she is happy to seduce the prince who will come to have a kiss.

Rao is very aware of his own mother's ruthless nature. After he understood Shi Guanyin's original intention, he felt unable to understand it.For this reason, Wuhua went to ask Gu Qing for advice, and Gu Qing said without hesitation, "Mother's love that came late?"

It's not that Wuhua has never thought about this possibility, but if he could accept this explanation, then he wouldn't come to ask Gu Qing for advice.

Gu Qing saw it, thought for a while and said, "Or is it because your mother refuses to accept her old age? After all, her real age is displayed there. In the dead of night, she will ask herself, 'Lian Po is old, can she still have a living'."

Wuhua: "..."

Wuhua never dared to mention her age in front of Shi Guanyin, let alone put Shi Guanyin's real age on the table like Gu Qing, because he knew very well that age was a taboo for Shi Guanyin.

Of course Shi Guanyin does not accept the old, and it is not a day or two to refuse the old, but there is no connection between being old and indulging in scheming. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Shi Guanyin's style, even though Wuhua knows very well that this is just a description of His Royal Highness.

Gu Qing also seemed to realize that this explanation was still unconvincing to Wuhua, and after thinking about it pretendingly, he came up with another conjecture: "Perhaps she has reached the age of capriciousness, and the reason for this capriciousness is very It may be because of the lack of yin in her body now, after all, she used to collect yang to replenish yin."

This stage also has a scientific name, called menopause.

This argument seems to be more convincing than the previous two. Shi Guanyin has indeed rarely collected yang to nourish yin recently, so is it because she wants to deal with the prince because she wants to do such a thing?

After understanding this way, Wuhua felt a lot more at ease. After all, this is more acceptable to Wuhua than Shi Guanyin's overflowing maternal love.

In fact, what Shi Guanyin did was not an overabundance of maternal love.

cough.

From Gu Qing's point of view, the most likely reason why Shi Guanyin would look for trouble is to fill the emptiness in her heart.Gu Qing has no intention of interfering with this, of course, the premise is that Shi Guanyin will not do anything excessive.

Not long after this, Gu Qing received a letter from the Central Plains.

It was sent by Chu Liuxiang and Ji Bingyan. He wrote in the name of a friend to greet him and Princess Pipa.There was a little smile in Gu Qing's eyes, from Chu Liuxiang to Lu Xiaofeng, both of them seem to be people who never stop, and "fate" will also follow their nature, and will make them encounter one after another in life Or complicated or interesting big events, one after another, enemies or friends who are not lacking in intelligence and intelligence, make their lives almost always colorful.

This made Gu Qing somewhat envious.

Gu Qing also remembered the time when he, Lu Xiaofeng and others went to sea together. After recovering from the memory, Gu Qing felt that he could go outside to experience the humanities of different periods.Only this time, he will not go to the Central Plains, and go to other countries from the Central Plains. You must know that he is now in the Western Regions, from the current Kucha Kingdom to the west, through Wusun and Dawan, and then through Dayue Shi, can reach Europe, and Europe at this time is in the period of renaissance.

It's just that the Renaissance belongs to the Renaissance, and it's not innovation in hygiene.

Gu Qing still needs to think carefully, maybe before he comes to a conclusion, he should focus on the Kucha Kingdom and the Central Plains.

At the same time, Chu Liuxiang, who was envied by Gu Qing, went to sea first.He, Hu Tiehua who came out of nowhere, and one of their friends, Zhang San, a sea player, chased Gao Yanan who came down the mountain again at sea, and according to Hu Tiehua, he always felt that Gao Yanan was hiding something from him. It doesn't look like he went to sea voluntarily.

Even though Hu Tiehua had no real evidence for what he said, Chu Liuxiang was still willing to help him, and Gao Yanan was also his friend.In addition, Chu Liuxiang unexpectedly thought of what happened in Wuzheng Villa more than half a year ago, and he also felt that Gao Yanan was hiding something.But now Chu Liuxiang feels that he will know what Gao Yanan is hiding, and that part of the matter is likely to be related to Master Kumei and even Yuan Suiyun, the former owner of Shaozhuang.

Then I wish Chu Liuxiang and the others a smooth journey.

And I hope that there will be no chance for the poison of the Kucha country (...) to appear.

——It is better to forget each other in the sea than to be poisoned by torment.
