Yunyue past events

The farther you go south, the warmer the climate becomes. When you see wild flowers blooming on the river bank and lush vegetation, Zhaoling realizes that he has arrived at Yunyue's hometown.

This is a strange land. It was the first time he set foot on it in his life. It was also a familiar land. He had "visited" it from books and from Yueqian's narration.

Yunyue and Rongguo used to be feuds. Because of their strength, the two countries feared each other and fought endlessly.

More than ten years ago, when Yunyue was in civil strife, Rongguo took the opportunity to crusade against it. The time and place were favorable to win peace among the people. Yunshui City fell, and King Yueling died, declaring the collapse of Yunyue, a great southern country with a history of hundreds of years.

Before Yunyue was destroyed, the inside was riddled with holes, just like a big tree with rotten roots and all flowers and leaves. On this big tree, King Rong took a little effort to pick the fruit.

The prince's guest, Wei Ping, pointed to the front of the river, and the apes on both sides cried out: "The front is the fork of the river, the west is the road to Mengyang City, and the east is the road to Yunshui City."

"Has Wei Qing been to Yunyue before?" The southern wind blew Zhao Ling's robe, and he stood at the bow of the boat, admiring the scenery.

The hull of the boat swayed gently with the waves, and one dark green mountain peak disappeared, and another appeared.

Wei Ping said: "This is my first time here, but it seems like I have been here several times. It is both familiar and novel."

Entering Yunyue, what you see along the way is completely different geographical features, completely different people and customs, which seem to be familiar and strange, just like the feeling that Yueqian gave Zhaoling.

The big ship passed the fork of the river and headed west. The first stop of their trip was Mengyang City, the military town in Yunyue's hometown.

Mengyang City is located in the east of Zitong Mountain. It sits deep in the mountain, and it is to guard Zitong Mountain, the largest mine in the world.

In the middle of the night, the boat was moored on the river bank, and Zhao Ling fell into a deep sleep. A dozen figures guarded the outside of his room, guarded heavily, patrolling all night.

Yunyue's old place was very dangerous, but the group of them did not encounter danger all the way south.

It is a waterway where Rong boats often come and go, and there are Rongbing outposts along the way. Rong Kingdom has many fortresses in the north of Yunyue, and there are also many garrisons, unlike the northern part of Yunyue where bandits are everywhere.

After a few days, the boat arrived at Yuejin Ferry, where Zhaoling and his followers changed into boats and continued westward, entering the forest in the west of Yunyue.

Yunyue has a complicated water system, and there are many mountains and dense forests. If you are a newcomer, you will get lost without someone to guide you.

The boat that Zhaoling was riding in was mixed among several small boats, each of which had the same appearance, the only difference was that the winners on Zhaoling's boat were not soldiers, but the prince's guards.

For the sake of safety, during the short journey along the stream, Zhao Ling stayed in the cabin, and Wei Ping, the prince's guest, accompanied him and told him about the history and geography of Yunyue.

Zhaoling is well-informed and knowledgeable, but Weiping has a deeper understanding of Yunyue than he does.

General Rong Guo, who came to Yunyue to garrison, also had to flip through the map to find out where this place is. Wei Ping didn't need it, he had maps of Yunyue's various places in his mind, so he didn't need to flip through.

The small boat passed an abandoned post station. The old post station with mud and wood structure was from the Yunyue period from the roof style. Wei Ping poked his head out of the cabin, and quickly retracted. He said to Zhao Ling: "The Zitong Mountain East Liuli, there are the ruins of the ancient capital of Taiwan, called Taixu, and Yunyue people also call it Zitai. According to ancient history legends, the Tai people once assisted Huadi in the crusade against Xirong, and the people of Taiwan danced and fought. , a group of brave warriors."

Wei Ping continued to tell the local history, about the ancient history that has become a legend.

Zhaoling said: "Taiwan was destroyed by the Qin State, and the Qin State was destroyed by the Yuewu King of Yunyue, and the Yunyue State was destroyed by the Rong State. The Zitong Mountain made these countries strong, and it also made these countries decline. There is a steady stream of high-quality copper mines and sharp weapons for conquest, so they all die in war. This is a warning that no matter how big or small a country is, it cannot drive the people unrestrainedly, and war will surely perish."

Wei Ping nodded, then shook his head again, he said: "I think that the annexation and disappearance of countless countries is the general trend. In the ancient Huadi era, it was known as the world, and there were small countries that were difficult to describe; There are only one hundred and thirty states in the world; to this day, there are only twelve states left in the world. If Rong Guo wants to survive, it must unify the world.”

The dense forest beside the stream is lush, mosquitoes are buzzing, a gust of mountain wind blows through the reeds in the water, and countless birds dance. The south, even in winter, is still full of vitality.

Zhao Ling sighed: "If there is such a day, there will be no more wars in the world, swords will be cast into plows, and all people in the world will be subjects, then it will be a peaceful and prosperous world."

He probably won't see such a prosperous age, and he was born less than a hundred years old. If there is such a day, it should be a hundred years later

The boat team moved slowly, and the soldiers on the boat were alert to the reeds on the bank of the stream. There seemed to be movement in the reeds, and the enemy might be ambushing.As soon as the wind passed, countless waterfowl flew out, and the soldiers relaxed their vigilance.

They didn't know that there was indeed danger in the reeds, and a small team of Yunyue people was lurking inside. They monitored the stream day and night, and monitored the movement of Rongbing.

He clasped the reed pole with his fingers, exposing one eye, and soon the reeds gathered together, and the eye disappeared. The owner of the eye said: "There is a newly built mountain road in the north. So many people walk on the stream road, I think they must be Transporting valuables to Jingu Pass, maybe military pay. It’s a pity that we have too few people, or we will rob it!”

Fan Chun glanced at the other party, and whispered: "Yan Qi, you are stupid, you didn't see that all the boatmen on the middle boat were wearing official boots, there must be a high-ranking official in the boat."

Yan Qi excitedly said: "A senior official should rob even more!"

Fan Chun spat: "You are a prisoner in Rongguo. Thanks to Bona's rescue, you have only loosened your shackles for a few days, and you dare to rob like others. You just stay calm and don't make any noise. Bona has an order, order us to be here This investigation of the waterway must not attract the attention of Rongbing and expose our whereabouts."

Thinking of Bo Na's order, Yan Qi shut up obediently.

When the boat team was far away, Yan Qi dared to ask: "Who is escorting such a large formation?"

He expressed the doubts in the hearts of everyone.

In front of it is a small pier, guarded by several Rong soldiers, with a banner fluttering in the wind.

Zhaoling got off the boat with his entourage, and his vehicle was changed from a boat to a carriage.

Two galloping carriages and a considerable escort team escorted Zhao Ling to go deeper into the forest. The path under their feet became a road leading to Mengyang City.

In the early years, this section of the mountain road was very rugged and difficult to walk. Later, the people of Yunyue were requisitioned to open the mountain and split the road to build a mountain road that can pass horse-drawn carriages.

Rongguo has been operating in Yunyue for more than ten years, opening roads in the mountains, setting up defenses along the way, and opening a bronze road from Yunyue Mengyang City to Rongguo, commonly known as: Golden Road.

The carriage passed a city pass called Jingu Pass and came to the foot of the mountain of Jingu City.

Going south all the way, the journey is full of wind and dust, and when you reach Jingu Pass, you can make a good rectification, and then go forward, it is Mengyang City.

Stepping off the carriage, looking up at the towering city wall and the guards on the city wall, Wei Ping praised: "It's really majestic!"

Zhaoling saw a group of soldiers coming out of the city gate from a distance, and the guard hurried out of the city to meet them.

Wei Ping said to himself: "In the early years, the king of Yunyue built the Jingu Pass to defend against the barbarians in Nanyi River. Later, the barbarians retreated into Mengze, and this pass was abandoned. Rongguo took over Yunyue and drove tens of thousands of Yue people to repair it. Jingu Pass was originally intended to guard against the rebellion of the Yunyue people in the south. It has not been used once in more than ten years."

Not being able to use it is not useless. It is precisely because of its existence that it has ensured the long-term stability in the south of the Zitong Mountain. The copper mine production of the Zitong Mountain has never been destroyed by the Yunyue people.

The soldiers guarding the city marched out of the city to greet the envoys sent by Rong Guoyin. Before they went out to greet them, they had received the news and thought they were ordinary envoys.When he went out to greet him, the guard saw that the prince's guards stripped off the boatman's clothes, revealing the sword around his waist, and realized that the status of the envoy was extremely honorable.

The purpose of Zhaoling is to inspect the local defenses by taking Jingu Pass instead of near and far.

After staying at Jingu Pass, the past few days of running around finally came to an end. Whether it was Zhaoling or the attendants, they could all rest well.

On the second day, the guard of Jingu Pass sent an army to escort Zhaoling to Mengyang City.

In fact, there is no need, the route is very safe, and on the road of Rong Guoxiu, Rong soldiers come and go from time to time.In order to ensure everything is safe, the guard stubbornly sent an army to escort the envoy. The envoy was Gongzi Ling, the prince's same mother and brother.

The guard knew well that within the area under his jurisdiction, if Gong Ziling made the slightest mistake, his head would have to be moved.

Before approaching Mengyang City, the first thing I saw was a stream in the western suburbs of the big city. From a distance, it looked like a silver belt. The root system, criss-crossing, penetrates into every corner of the deep forest.

The forest in the western suburbs of Mengyang City used to be more extensive, and the stream was hidden in the forest, like a hidden dark stream. With the smelting activities that lasted for hundreds of years, the forest land in the western suburbs retreated to the surrounding area, and countless smelting furnaces along the banks of the stream construction.

In the rainy season, the furnace smoke and water mist at the foot of the mountain pervade the surrounding area, making Mengyang City, which is located on the high ground, seem to be suspended in mid-air.

Zhaoling sat on the carriage, and the carriage circled upwards along the mountain road, and drove into the tall gate of Mengyang City. Outside the gate, officers and soldiers lined up to welcome them. Qu Jun, the guard of Mengyang City, and Zheng Xin, the aide of Huan Sima, were already waiting. for a long time.

Mengyang City, the important military town of Rongguo in the hometown of Yunyue, there are countless prisoners here, they are either engaged in related work in the smelting field, or pushing wooden carts, going back and forth between Mengyang City and Zitong Mountain, non-stop Transport copper ore back and forth.The endless crowd, the curling smoke.

Surrounded by mountains, when the sky is fine, you can see the stars in the night sky. When the sky is fine, you may not be able to see the tortured prisoners at the foot of the mountain. The sound drowned out the screams.

Countless weapons were forged in the smelting field, and countless weapons were stored in warehouses. The endless stream of horses and horses was transported along the golden road to the four corners of Rongguo, transporting not only minerals, but also cast bronzes.

The air in Mengyang City will make newcomers feel uncomfortable. First, they will smell the scorching smell, and then their mouth and lungs will feel uncomfortable, so that they will not be able to hold their breath.

That was the situation at the foot of the mountain. Ascending to the high Mengyang City, this uncomfortable feeling disappeared immediately, and the air above was fresh.Living in Mengyang City, even the noisy and non-stop sound of the mill seems so ethereal.

At night, Zheng Xin, Huan Sima's aide, spread out a map of the entire territory of Yunyue Kingdom on the desk. Beside him stood several attendants holding candles. He pointed to the map and described the current chaos in Yunyue one by one.

Zheng Dao said: "Nowadays there are many thieves in Yunyue, and there are thieves everywhere. The northern thieves are often expensive. This person has been in trouble for many years and has done far-reaching harm. If this thief is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles. In the southeast, there are Kuang brothers, Zhao Hai in Ru County, etc. Thieves, groups of thieves in the southeast are attacking each other, which is difficult to achieve. In the west, there is Feng Boyi. This thief has been robbing and killing grain ships in waterways all year round. His cruel methods have caused many soldiers in our country to suffer. Recently, another group of thieves appeared in Ze County in the south of the country. Famous bandit, calling himself 'Qing Wang', this bandit captured several counties in Ze County and Nanyi County, and repeatedly defeated the county soldiers, it should not be underestimated."

Qu Jun, the guard of Mengyang City, said: "Feng Boyi claims to be the grandson of Feng Sima, the old general of Yunyue. This thief is quite convincing. When he was strong, many ignorant Yue people were bewitched by him. Last winter, at the end of the He will lead his troops to attack Feng Boyi's old lair in Chengzigang, kill one thousand thieves, and capture three thousand thieves and their families, and since then the remnants of evil have been scattered, and Feng Boyi's whereabouts are unknown."

Zheng Xin circled an area in the northwest, including Zitong Mountain and Mengyang City. He said: "These places used to be the area where Feng Boyi was active. Now he has fled to the mountains and dare not show his head again."

After listening to the statements of the two, Zhao Ling asked: "I have heard about all the above-mentioned thieves, and the thieves in Nandize County, do you still not know his name?"

Zheng Xin replied: "There are rumors that this bandit is the son of King Yue Ling. The bandits originally called him 'Bo Na', which means 'Prince' in Yunyue language."

Wei Ping, who had been silent all this time, frowned. Based on his familiarity with Yunyue's history, he knew that King Yueling died and the country was destroyed. His sons were almost killed, and only one son died——Yueqian.

Qu Jun said: "Earlier, there was also a bandit in the southeast area. He claimed to be the son of King Yue Ling, and deceived the Yue people. Later, he was captured by the county captain, and his identity was found out. He was just a rice planter."

There are many thieves who pretend to be the prince of Yunyue, the generals and prime ministers of Yunyue Kingdom, and summon the survivors of Yunyue to rebel, most of them are fakes.

After some conversation, Qu Jun left, Zheng Xin slowly collected the map, Wei Ping was there to help, Zhao Ling walked to the window, outside the window was a little spark, it was the casting fire of the smelting field, and it was like a starry sky in the dark night.

Zhao Ling turned around and asked Zheng Xin, as if casually mentioning it, "Dong Dian, the general who escorted Yue prisoners from Yindu to Mengyang City in the early autumn of last year, where is he now?"

Wei Ping was scrolling through the map, when he heard this sentence, he suddenly raised his head.

"Dong Dian's work was not good, so the prisoners who were escorted escaped halfway, and now they are still detained in Mengyang City Prison." Zheng Xin thought for a while before he remembered such a person. The incident has been going on for a long time, and it is not a big deal.

It is common for prisoners to escape, so those who escaped are usually executed if they are caught, so as to intimidate other prisoners.

Soon, Zheng Xin realized that something was wrong, such a small person, and it happened last year, how could Mr. Ling still mention it, and hurriedly asked: "Master, do you want to interrogate him?"

Zhaoling said, "I have something to ask him."

Zheng Xin showed a look of astonishment, he didn't know what kind of backer this Dong Dian was, and why he would disturb the prince when he was imprisoned; Among slaves, there is Yue Qian.

There was once a mysterious order for Dong Dian to kill Yue Qian on the way.

That order came from the prince.

The matter of killing Yueqian was hidden from Gong Ziling, but Gong Ziling probably had expected it long ago.

Thinking to himself, Wei Ping hurriedly put a bunch of rolled up maps in Zheng Xin's arms, but he chose to evade and exit the room, leaving Zheng Xin and Gong Ziling behind.

Wei Ping is not sure if Dong Dian really killed Yue Qian, or Yue Qian was among the escaped slaves.

After visiting the prison overnight, Zhaoling saw Dong Dian in the prison. He was alone and asked Zheng Xin to remove everyone around him, including Zheng Xin himself.

Zheng Xin didn't know what Gong Ziling and Dong Dian talked about, they didn't talk for a long time, when Gong Ziling came out, he couldn't see any clues from him, such a beautiful face was neither happy nor sad.

The prison door closed behind him, and Zheng Xin accompanied Gong Ziling through the long passage, and he respectfully sent Gong Ziling to the most comfortable room in Mengyang City, which was temporarily used as Gong Ziling's dormitory.

In the dark night, surrounded by heavy bed curtains, Zhao Ling was in the dark, and he quietly recalled the conversation he had with Dong Dian in the prison.

Zhaoling said, "I'll ask you again, are you telling the truth?"

Dong Dian said: "Return to your son, every sentence of the guilty minister is true."

Zhaoling said, "Then repeat your words."

Dong Dian said: "That day when the boat arrived at the Yuejin Ferry, before dawn, I sent two close followers to tell them to bring Yueqian out of the slave cabin. The journey lacked water and food, even if he was a strong man, after several days of torture, he could It was already in a state of disrepair, Yue Qian didn't make any resistance, and was honestly escorted out of the slave ship.

The soldiers obeyed my order, took the submersible to a corner where no one was around, and killed him with a knife.The corpse was tied to a stone anchor and pushed into the river without anyone noticing it. "

Dong Dian continued: "Civil ministers are always cautious and dedicated to their duties. I also hope that the son will rescue him, so that the criminal ministers can be released from prison as soon as possible, and Hui Yindu can reunite with his family."

In the dark dormitory, Zhao Ling recalled Dong Dian's words, imagining that Yue Qian was brought out of the slave cabin sickly, honest and obedient.

With Yue Qian's character, how could he catch him without a fight?

Killed with a knife, did it stab the heart?

With the submerged skill, even if his arms are tied, he can still resist.

The body was tied with stones and sunk in the river.

Yue Qian, is he really dead?

Zhaoling thought calmly: Let him be dead.

Dong Dian's words were full of loopholes, but Zhao Ling didn't believe them.

"Dive more..."

Calling Yue Qian's name softly in the dark night, Zhao Ling closed his eyes, imagining that if he opened them, he would see this person lying beside him.

How many nights they slept together in the same bed, inseparable.

Zhao Ling sighed softly: "Where are you?"

The thief "Qing Wang" in Nandize County, could it be you?

The closer to Yunyue's hometown, the more Zhaoling felt that Yueqian was still alive, especially after arriving in Mengyang City, this feeling was very strong.

On the first night in Mengyang City, Zhaoling dreamed of the time she spent with Yueqian in the past, dreamed of his kiss, his embrace.

Dream about those wonderful things.

The snake pattern floating on Yue Qian's shoulder and arm, the snake pattern swirls and turns into a green snake, which is coiled on the sycamore branch.On the foggy Nanshan Mountain, the moon was dim, and the water vapor was blowing on his face. Zhao Ling found that he had also turned into a phoenix bird, flying in the fog.

The dream is so grotesque, Zhao Ling in the dream does not want to get close to the sycamore tree, he soars with all his strength, flying over the mountains and forests without getting tired.

He arrived at the hometown of Yunyue, and his wings flew over the "starry sky" in Mengyang City. It was the fire of the smelting field, the flames danced in the furnace, and the phoenix chirped and spread its wings.

Zhao Ling hovered in the sky, he was exhausted and needed to rest his feet, he came to the ruins of the capital of the ancient Tai Kingdom—Tai Ruins.

In the dream, Zhao Ling remembered what Wei Ping said: Terrace Market, Yunyue people also call it Purple Terrace.

Zitai, it must be a purple copper grass flower.

Then clusters of purple flowers bloomed among the ruined walls of the ruins, and the phoenix flew to the highest point of the ruins and landed on a small earthen platform, where he rested and combed his feathers with his beak.

The night wind blew the colorful feather crown on his head, and he shook the feathers comfortably, looking around, suddenly, he found a huge green snake lying among the flowers.

A phoenix cry suddenly resounded, disturbing the birds and beasts in the mountain, and the phoenix soared into the air, soaring with the help of the wind.

At the moment of leaving, Fengniao saw the green snake open a pair of golden eyes, the night wind was blowing the mane on its back, and there were horns growing on its head.

Zhao Ling woke up from the dream and fell into a deep sleep. He slept on Mengyang City.

Under Mengyang City, there are stretches of smelting fields. In the simple wooden sheds where the prisoners live, Yue Qian is lying on a straw bed, surrounded by the snoring sounds of the prisoners.

Yueqian woke up from the dream, feeling unbelievable, carefully recalling what happened in the dream.

In his dream, he turned into a green snake and was resting on the purple platform. It was the sound of a phoenix that woke him up.

In the dream of submerging, from the perspective of the green snake, he opened his golden pupils and saw a phoenix flying away in the sky. With just a glimpse, he saw the colorful crest and beautiful long tail of the phoenix.

The author has something to say: Director: Yue Snake, you sneaked into Mengyang City and acted as a prisoner, what do you want to do?

Yuedi: You guessed it.

------

Yue Qian: Ah Ling, is that phoenix bird you?
