History of Yongwu

Boom boom boom!A loud knock on the door startled Qin Yu, and just as he opened the door, Nangong Yuliang rushed in.

"Priest?" Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, seeing his flushed face and asked, "What's the matter? I'm in such a hurry. Take your time, my king won't run away."

"My lord, I just came back from Chun County. I heard that the folks are spreading the prophecy. I inquired all the way back and found that the prophecy is very widely spread. Almost everyone in Dongyang County knows it. By God's will," Nangong Yuliang said anxiously.

"Oh" Qin Yu nodded and sat back, picked up the teacup and covered his eyes behind the teacup, "The priest sit down and rest for a while"

"My lord, this matter is no small matter." Nangong Yuliang sat down and looked at him anxiously.

Qin Yu brought him a cup of tea, and then said to him, "The prophecy is not surprising, the priests just don't worry about it."

"No, it's different this time. The prophecy was directed at the officials of the court, and it was said that Xiang'er said it. Someone must have deliberately done it in Xiang'er's name." Nangong Yuliang put down the teacup in his hand and explained with a frown.

"Oh? Said it was Xiang'er who said it." Qin Yu frowned, that's not what he said.

"The legend of the villagers is the revelation from the gods to the goddess, and it was the goddess who told the world." Nangong Yuliang shook his head, this is what he didn't understand, how could Xiang'er say such a thing, she didn't know the court officials at all.

"Since it's not Xiang'er, why are you nervous? Don't mind such nonsense. Go back with peace of mind. I guarantee that you and Xiang'er are fine."

Nangong Yuliang didn't move, but looked at him quietly. King Jin's reaction was too calm, as if he had guessed everything. It stands to reason that King Jin should pay more attention to matters involving the court. How could he be so calm.

"Brother, King Jin asked me out today... King Jin said Master Kong is very capable"

"It's you, right?" Nangong Yuliang suddenly stood up.

"what?"

"It's you, the prophecies and ballads are the meaning of the prince. How can Xiang'er understand this, but the prince he knows does?" Nangong Yuliang looked at him, unable to suppress the anger in his heart, "Master Kong is the prince's political enemy. Everyone knows, no wonder the prince is kind enough to find a doctor for Tianshen Palace."

Very smart!If I didn't believe that you, Tianshen Palace, have never participated in government affairs, this king should be careful about you.

"I don't understand what the priest said. There are ancient and modern prophecies. I'm afraid the priest is too worried. As for this king and Mr. Kong, it's not the priest's business to intervene." Qin Yu said leisurely, still looking like that.

"You..." Nangong Yuliang clenched his fists and stared at King Jin angrily, as if ready to punch him at any moment.

"Master Priest, what are you worried about?" Qin Yu looked at him indifferently and said, "Aren't you and Miss Xiang'er all right? Don't worry, you will be fine. Besides, this matter is not a bad thing for you Tianshen Palace."

"Tianshen Palace has increased its prestige through this, so why not do it?" Nangong Yuliang said sarcastically.

"This king and the priest and hero see the same thing"

"The villain doesn't dare to climb high. He is a weirdo who sees the same thing as you. I really shouldn't save him." Nangong Yuliang turned and walked out.

"The priest stays behind." Qin Yu suddenly stood up and chased after him, and asked, "Where is the weirdo you mentioned just now?"

"do not know!"

With a bang, the door was shaken by Nangong Yuliang, Qin Yu shook his head and sat down, "He's quite angry, the priest said he went to Chun County, it seems that there is a surprise here."

In the western suburbs of Chunxian County, two guards guarded the young man in the middle one behind the other. The young man in a black brocade robe was riding leisurely on the horse, looking at the surrounding scenery.

Qin Yu arrived in Chun County early in the morning, but Nangong Yuliang didn't tell him any clues. He just searched aimlessly and didn't see anyone different all morning. If he couldn't find any more, he would I'm going back, otherwise I'll stay here, could it be that the priest lied to me?

"It's you weirdo again, get out, you are not welcome in our village"

"Yes, yes, yes, those who blaspheme the gods, get out"

Several villagers in their 30s held hoes and shovels in their hands, and were yelling loudly at a scholar-like person in front of them.

"There are no gods. The will of the gods you believe in are all made up by people." The young man had gauze wrapped around his head, but his face was full of rebellion.

It seems that this is the weirdo!With a slight smile, Qin Yu turned his head and ordered, "follow that person"

"Yes"

Far away from the village, there was a dilapidated small courtyard with a low fence, so Qin Yu's horse Hao could jump over it without much effort. As for the courtyard gate, Qin Yu felt that there were courtyard gates everywhere on the fence.

"anyone there?"

Zhao Zhiping heard someone calling him inside the house, thought it was the villagers again, grabbed a broom and ran out, only to find a kind young man standing at the door when he ran out, he couldn't help being taken aback.

"Don't panic, my lord, we just want to take a rest." Qin Yu said hastily, watching the scholar who ran out aggressively.

Zhao Zhiping looked at the person in front of him. There were two guards standing behind him. Their demeanor and movements made it clear that they were very skilled. As for the young man they were guarding, he looked rich and expensive .

"please"

"Thank you." Qin Yu nodded his thanks as he walked in.

The yard is spacious but empty, Qin Yu looked around and sat down on a wooden pier at one side, while Zhao Zhiping sat down on another wooden pier opposite.

"Excuse me, sir, I don't know your name?"

"I'm Zhao Zhiping," said Zhao Zhiping neither humble nor overbearing.

Qin Yu nodded secretly and asked with a smile, "Oh? Is your son Zhiping?"

"Ruo Zhiping, why is Mr. Zhao like this?" Zhao Zhiping raised his eyebrows, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone, "Your Excellency, are you mocking me?"

There was anger in the scholar's eyes, and his chin was raised. Even though he was in rags, he didn't want to be underestimated. Qin Yu looked at him and smiled.

"Young master Zhao, since ancient times, great talents have never been afraid of ridicule. If no one laughs, no one will appreciate it." Qin Yu looked at him seriously, without apology or ridicule, Zhao Zhiping blushed, feeling that he was narrow-minded.

"Why is Mr. Zhao arguing with others about the decree of the gods?"

"What decree!" Zhao Zhiping snorted coldly.

"What is that?" Qin Yu asked naturally.

"It's a conspiracy." Zhao Zhiping turned his head to look at him, his eyes changed slightly, and said, "The prophecy is directed at the important ministers in the court. I heard that the Confucius family in Yiyang City has been very concerned about helping the victims recently. Kong Guopei, the imperial historian, was born in the Kong family." , I'm afraid someone..."

"Why didn't you say it?" Qin Yu asked.

It is not surprising that the people in the court saw something, but Zhao Zhiping was able to discern the smell of conspiracy in the mountains, which is really extraordinary.

"Who is the young master?" Zhao Zhiping looked at him, no one would come here to ask these things, this person is by no means ordinary.

"Mr. Zhao has ambitions for the world, but doesn't he have the courage to speak freely?"

Zhao Zhiping was taken aback for a moment, and the person opposite him had calm eyes, a smile on his face, and was frank and sincere. For a moment, Zhao Zhiping was ashamed to face him and dared not look directly at him.

"I'm afraid someone will deal with Master Kong and force him to return to Dongyang."

"Hehe..." Qin Yu laughed, stood up and said, "Mr. Zhao's words are deafening. I never thought that there are people like you in the mountains. This trip is worthwhile. We have been bothering you for a long time, so let's say goodbye."

Zhao Zhiping stood up and watched him leave. He suddenly had an intuition that if this person left, he would completely lose his chance.He will completely become a lunatic in the eyes of the neighbors and villagers. Those former classmates will become famous and realize their ambitions, while he will live here all his life, doing nothing.

"My lord, can you take me away with you?"

"Hahaha, are you sure?" Qin Yu smiled happily and turned to look at him.

This is a soul that has been lonely for too long. What he lacks is not talent, but courage. He is always afraid that if he makes a wrong move, he will lose everything, but he doesn’t know that when you have nothing, the best way is to bet that your talent can surpass everything. Difficult, stand to the top.

"Sure," Zhao Zhiping said solemnly with a deep bow.

I want to bet that this young man is not an ordinary person, bet that he can value my talent, and bet that he can use what he has learned during this trip, no matter what, I will not stay here again.

Capital

"Petition?" Kong Guopei sneered, looked at the letter in his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin sees this old man too clearly."

"My lord?" Mr. Wang bowed aside.

Kong Guopei ordered, "Write a letter to your family and ask them to press the petition."

"Yes"

Yiyang City

Qin Yu looked at Zhao Zhiping who was standing in front of him. The scholar changed his clothes and became more bookish. "What's the matter?" he asked.

"Young master's plan is about to fail." Zhao Zhiping's voice was steady without showing off.

"Why?" Qin Yu asked intentionally.

"Because there are not enough grievances from the people." Zhao Zhiping bowed slightly, and continued, "If the villain guessed correctly, the first time the people wrote a letter has been suppressed by the Kong family."

"You are really a treasure." Qin Yu smiled, it is true that he just received the news that Dongyang's willingness has been suppressed, "Then how to solve it according to your opinion"

"Destruction of the downstream levee"

Qin Yu's eyebrows twitched. He also thought of this strategy, but he didn't want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary. It was a ruthless move that would hurt others and himself.

"Young Master" Zhao Zhiping bowed, "If you don't do it now, all the previous things will be in vain, and you will hurt more people."

"En." Qin Yu nodded, "How?"

"The villain will do it." Zhao Zhiping looked at him and said calmly, "Young master, it's better to bring the envoy of Tianshen Palace back to Beijing together?"

"Why?" Qin Yu asked strangely, this was not in his plan.

"Because when Dongyang was flooded, the King of Jin had to be in the capital so as not to make a statement, and when the people from the Tianshen Palace left, the people would believe that it was the county guards who did not listen to their opinions, so the gods withdrew the envoys."

"You are indeed a great talent in the world." Qin Yu patted him on the shoulder and said something meaningful.

Zhao Zhiping should have guessed his identity a long time ago, but he didn't reveal it. This person is smart and cautious, assesses the situation, and more importantly, he is ruthless. Such a person is bound to be extraordinary and rise to the top.

"My king knows, but I want someone to help you."

"A villain is enough." Zhao Zhiping still looked calm and determined, but not arrogant.

in the courtyard

Nangong Yuliang was playing chess with Nangong Xiang, the little girl couldn't sit still, she moved this one, touched that one, and lost to Nangong Yuliang every game.

"Brother, it's so boring! I don't like playing chess," Nan Gongxiang said listlessly, resting her chin in one hand.

"Then what do you want to do?" Nangong Yuliang said softly looking at the chessboard.

"I want to find King Jin." Nangong Xiang looked at Nangong Yuliang with sparkling eyes.

"No." Nangong Yuliang's tone turned cold instantly.

King Jin used Xiang'er to spread rumors. Once the matter was exposed, Tianshen Palace would definitely be implicated. Nangong Yuliang simply hated King Jin to the extreme, so even though Tianshen Palace had a high reputation in Dongyang, Nangong Yulian didn't dare to go out again.

"Hehe...Miss Xiang'er, if you don't come to see me, I can come and see you."

Outside the courtyard gate, King Jin's voice came, Nangong Yuliang was startled, she stood up and stood at the gate.

"My lord, who manages so many things every day, why come to us when he has time?"

"I'm here to see Miss Xiang'er." Qin Yu pushed his arm away and walked into the courtyard.

Qin Yu went to the place where Nangong Yuliang was sitting just now, sat down, looked at the chess game in front of him and said, "So we were playing chess, and Miss Xiang'er lost."

"I've lost a lot of games, and my elder brother won't let me at all. I hate playing chess to death." Xiang'er pouted, but there was joy in her eyes that couldn't be concealed.

Qin Yu didn't see Xiang'er's admiring eyes, so he replied casually, "Really? I quite like playing chess." He thought of the lonely and arrogant Bai Yunfei, and smiled unconsciously.

Seeing his smile, Nangong Yuliang felt even more dissatisfied, "Isn't the prince here just to watch our brothers and sisters play chess? I don't know what you can do."

"My lord is planning to return to Beijing soon"

"I wish you a smooth journey, my lord," Nangong Yuliang was a little happy.

Nangong Xiang had a look of reluctance, "Are you leaving?"

Qin Yu caught a glimpse of Nangong Yuliang's expression, pursed his lips and smiled and said, "I hope the priest and Miss Xiang'er can go back with me. It will be much more interesting if you can accompany me on the long journey."

"That's good, big brother, let's go back to Beijing with King Jin." Nan Gongxiang couldn't stand the persuasion.

"Uh...Xiang'er, we haven't finished our work here, let's leave in a few days." King Jin must have a conspiracy, so Nangong Yuliang won't go inside again.

"What's the matter with us? Eldest brother doesn't go out recently, no matter if I want to go back." Nan Gongxiang looked at his elder brother angrily and said, she knew that his elder brother didn't like King Jin, so she shirked it.

"In that case" Qin Yu looked at Nangong Yuliang, and deliberately said, "This king will take Xiang'er back first, and the priest will do as he pleases."

The corners of Nangong Yuliang's mouth moved slightly, he squinted at King Jin, and said calmly, "Since the prince condescends to invite, how dare Yuliang refuse to obey, let's go back with the prince."

"Great." Nangong Xiang stood up and cheered, "Finally back."

"Xiang'er" Nangong Yuliang interrupted, "My lord hasn't had tea yet, go and make a pot of good tea for your lord"

Nangong Xiang left, Nangong Yuliang sat down to King Jin, frowned and asked, "What exactly does your lord want to do?"

"Nangong Priest" Qin Yu also restrained his expression, and he didn't mean to be joking, "If you really want to keep the things here from getting involved, then go back to Beijing with me, otherwise I don't care about the consequences."

Nangong Yuliang took a deep look at King Jin, "When are you leaving?"

"Three days later"

"Okay, then invite the prince to go back, see you in three days." Nangong Yuliang didn't bother to greet him anymore.

"Farewell" Qin Yu cupped his hands and left the courtyard.

Three days later, on the official road outside Yiyang City, a simple carriage drove towards the capital, accompanied by two guards.

"It's too boring in the car, I want to ride a horse." Nangong Xiang held the window of the car and looked at King Jin on the horse.

Nangong Yuliang followed her gaze, feeling depressed, and stopped him, "How can you ride a horse, just sit in the car and don't move?"

"Prince Jin can teach me," Nan Gongxiang said before getting out of the car.

"Miss Xiang'er is so eager to learn. This king's bodyguard is very good at riding and shooting. This king is not as good as him. Let him teach you."

Qin Yu refused with a smile. Nangong Yuliang obviously minded him getting close to Nangong Xiang. He didn't want to have such an incident. Besides, men and women are different, so he still has some sense of propriety.

Hearing this, Nangong Xiang felt a bit lost, she shook her head and said, "Since that's the case, don't bother me."

Nangong Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing that Nangong Xiang was not happy, she became worried and sour again.

As the sun set, the red sunset glow spread across the sky, and the night gradually enveloped the yellow land. Qin Yu ordered the guards to set up tents as soon as they could still see.

Nangong Xiang had already fallen asleep on the carriage. Nangong Yuliang got off the carriage and looked around. King Jin was standing on the hillside, facing west. He didn't know what he was looking at. He hesitated for a moment, and walked over.

"What is the prince looking at?" Nangong Yuliang walked up to him and asked.

"Sunset glow" Qin Yu said while looking at the west.

Nangong Yuliang looked ahead, the sky was full of red clouds, the setting sun was about to drown, the sunshine was gentle and even the surrounding scenery was reassuringly gentle.King Jin looked forward, with the fiery red light shining on his face, his whole person was enveloped in a reassuring atmosphere, not at all the King Jin he usually saw.

"Miss Xiang'er is tired"

"Ah!" Nangong Yuliang came back to his senses, only to realize that he had been staring at King Jin for a long time and "had fallen asleep in the car."

"It's been a long journey, Miss Xiang'er has worked hard," Qin Yu said casually.

Nangong Yuliang frowned, thought for a while as if he had finally made up his mind, and asked him, "Does the lord like Xiang'er?"

If Jin Wang really likes it, there is nothing wrong with being happy with each other. Although he is unwilling, he is still willing to help Xiang'er.

So that's the case, no wonder this king is like a scourge!

"Miss Xiang'er is very cute, but this king has no unreasonable thoughts about her, the priest can rest assured"

As Qin Yu spoke calmly, the sun shone from his side, making him still shrouded in that atmosphere.Nangong Yuliang watched quietly, and suddenly remembered the first time he saw the young King Jin, at that time he felt that if he stood there quietly, he would look like an ordinary boy next door.

Nangong Yuliang withdrew his thoughts, cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Since this is the case, I hope that the prince will be reasonable. Xiang'er is young and doesn't know much about love affairs, so she thinks that she likes the prince. Since the prince has no such intentions, I hope to be with Xiang'er..." keep distance.

"The priest doesn't need to worry too much." Qin Yu naturally understood what he meant, and comforted him, "Xiang'er's thoughts change every day when she is young, maybe she won't like me in a few days."

"When I was young, my feelings were always very deep. Didn't the prince have someone with a deep memory when he was young?"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Nangong Yuliang knew that he was offended, and looked up at King Jin. King Jin had a strange expression, which disappeared in a flash, making him feel dazzled.The sun went down immediately, and the last ray of light disappeared from the earth. King Jin's expression disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a blurred outline.

"The priest is right, I won't pester Xiang'er, don't worry." Qin Yu continued to say to him as he walked back, "Go back when it's dark, and rest early."

There is always that person who haunts you when you are young, makes you go back and forth, and makes you unforgettable. Qin Yu took a deep breath and exhaled the depression in his chest. He wouldn't like Xiang'er, so why bother to hurt her.

Some encounters have no reason at all, and it is not clear whether it is right or wrong.
