Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 51 Leizhou Association (2)

"Leizhou as a whole is shaped like a big rice bowl with a wide top and a narrow bottom. The four northern kingdoms, from west to east, are Yi State, Ju State, Cheng State, and Ming State..."

"Langya is a big country in the south, its area is almost the sum of the four countries, and its military strength is far more than..."

"However, Langya Kingdom has not come to participate in the Leizhou Conference for many years. Since the great victory 15 years ago, Langya Kingdom has moved the capital to the south. Maybe they feel that horse thieves are no longer the biggest threat, and there is still the massacre city in the south The numbing Asura God General... Moreover, it is said that the country's lord Xiao Zhan has been ill for many years..."

"Yi Kingdom and Langya Kingdom are adjacent to Tianshan Mountain to the west, which is a large mountain range extending thousands of miles vertically on the map, separating Leizhou on the east side of Tianshan and Dahuangzhou on the west side.

On the top of Tianshan Mountain, there is a long barrier that is said to be set up by the ancient gods, and the monsters in the Great Barren State cannot cross it.It is precisely because of this sacred mountain that our Leizhou is free from the suffering of demons..."

"But the enchantment is also weak sometimes. Occasionally there will be monsters crossing the mountains and appearing on the border of the country of Yi. Probably because of this reason, the army of the country of Yi is relatively weak, and the development of demon removal is the best among the four northern countries... "

"At the foot of the Tianshan Mountain is the capital of Yi Kingdom - Tianshui City. Leizhou literati compared it to 'water pearls at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain'. But because of the abundant water veins, it has a more familiar name—"

"The City of Hundred Springs."

When Ye Ziqi followed the army, walked through the gate of Tianshui City, and saw the four characters "City of Hundred Springs" engraved on the first stone tablet standing on the side of the road, he thought, along the way, from the mouth of the veteran The rumors I heard from here are probably true.

This city is where General Lian Hongye became famous 15 years ago.

Looking at the scenery inside the city, Ye Ziqi couldn't help being amazed, the ground was already full of greenery, and green buds had sprouted on the branches beside the road.

"The spring comes early in our Tianshui City." A soldier from the Kingdom of Yi who met on the road said to him with a smile:
"Because the ground is warm. The more winter comes, the warmer the spring water is. It is the best in Leizhou for bathing. The water is white and soft, floating on the long dark green algae, so beautiful!

Even if we are stepping on this road now, I can still feel the warm spring water flowing under the road!This is the blood of the city.So, even if we walk in winter, we Tianshui people feel warm in our hearts. "

Ye Ziqi listened, and seemed to understand why Tianshui City was able to survive the siege of horse thieves for so long 15 years ago. The book said, "Women and children shoulder the burden, pour dung and water, and attack thieves."

The townspeople love the city dearly.

After walking for a while, Ye Ziqi saw an ice sculpture of a crane, more than one foot high, spreading its wings gracefully, as if flying, and its body was soft and graceful.

Ye Ziqi thought, this must be the same city logo as Han Ye Xuediao, but I don't know if someone in the city also raised such a white crane.

At this moment, he heard the sound of the piano.

"This is--"

"It's our Lord Yin's zither," Tianshui soldier said with a smile, "It's just the previous Lord."

"First-rank immortal master, Yin Changqin?" Ye Ziqi asked, he remembered that the old demon had introduced to him that Yin Changqin, the former lord of Yi Kingdom, was the only first-rank immortal master in the north of Leizhou.

"How can you call our lord by the first name!" the soldier said dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry. Yin Guozhu's piano sound is really good." Ye Ziqi hurriedly apologized.

Saying this is not just a compliment, even if you can't see the legendary lord, Ye Ziqi can't help but draw a picture in his heart just by the deep and long piano sound, clank clang clang clang clang clang clang clang The image of a chic and unrestrained luthier.

It seems to be devoted to the bright moon and the mountains and rivers, with aspirations of detachment; and sometimes uses the sound of the piano to describe the state of the world, such as resentment and admiration, such as weeping and complaining, all moving, but the qin master himself will never fall in love.

Tianshui soldiers listened, and then smiled and said: "Haha, that's right. Lord Yin just came out of retreat a few months ago, and he often comes to this city to play the piano. People who come to Tianshui from far away to seek refuge have traveled hundreds of miles and thousands of miles. In the end, the first thing I heard was the sound of Yin Guozhu's piano, and then I saw the city wall of Tianshui City.

The past few months have been quite chaotic, but we city people feel at ease when we listen to Yin Guozhu's piano.This is Leizhou's one-on-one demon-eliminating gods!With gods around, you don't have to be afraid of any monsters, let alone horse thieves who are as tall as us? "

Ye Ziqi turned his head and stared at the city gate for a moment.

"Brother Ye, what are you looking at?" Tianshui soldiers approached curiously, "Don't even try to find the real body of the king. The sound of the king's piano was transmitted by using immortal techniques, and the real man is far away from here."

"No," Ye Ziqi shook his head, then pointed to the ice sculpture of a crane at the gate of the city, and said, "Do you feel that when the zither sounds, that crane seems to be about to fly?"

"Ah?" Tianshui soldiers stared wide-eyed: "How can there be, you are talking nonsense!"

"Probably because I'm dazzled."

Ye Ziqi didn't say any more, and rode into the city with the team.

After staying in the mansion, Wang Zhong, the commander of Sanwei, found Ye and Gu and told them:

In the martial arts game at the Leizhou Conference, Gu Feng will be the "horse" chess player, which is undoubtedly a powerful chess position.And considering that Ye Ziqi is not good at riding horses and driving carts, so he will play the chess game!

That is, the last chess piece that determines the outcome.

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng thanked Wang Zhong for his attention, and then they waited in the mansion.

From time to time, more excited discussions would float into the city from outside the courtyard wall. Most likely, Tianshui City will host a grand event, which will increase its reputation among the nations, but it is difficult to resonate with foreigners like them.

Only Yin Changqin's zither sounded every day was the only pastime in these few days.

When the monarchs of the four countries arrived in Tianshui City, the Leizhou Conference was held.

The spectacle of this grand event was even higher than that of the opening military exercise in Cold Leaf City, and it was also held in the Imperial Palace school grounds.Although there will be no spears and halberds like forests, there will be wine and beauties and dancing pavilions on high platforms.

The big drum sounded at dawn, and the first batch of more than two thousand soldiers from the four countries entered the school grounds to welcome Wang Jia.

The layout of Yi State's school grounds is slightly different from that of Ju State.Especially in the middle of the school grounds, there is a wide wooden platform. I don't know if it was originally used to command the generals, or it was temporarily built for today's use.

Most people know that in the past few days, the generals of the four countries have already exchanged military information and discussed the battle plan intensely.The significance of today is that the kings and dukes will completely decide on the final content that needs to be confirmed, and trade chips in the process of pushing the cup and changing the cup, and just take a formality.

Maybe, in the eyes of the nobles present, the content of today's singing and dancing is the highlight.

When the horn sounded, the four princes, together with their confidants and generals, climbed up the wooden ladder and took their seats on the stage in the eyes of all the people.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is without a doubt Yin Changqin, the former lord of the Yi Kingdom.

Although he is over fifty years old, he still has black hair like a waterfall, his body is tall and straight, his face is majestic and vigorous, with real sword eyes and star eyebrows.Moreover, the most iconic thing is that behind him is always a long piano wrapped in a piano bag.

In contrast, this expert's younger brother, Yin Changshu, the current ruler of Yi State, appears ordinary in appearance.After taking the stage, Yin Changshu moved east to the main seat, and Yin Changqin moved north to the first seat.

"Yin Changqin is alive and well, why did he give up the throne to his younger brother?" Gu Feng asked Ye Ziqi suspiciously.He knew that Ye Ziqi had dabbled a lot in this area, and he liked to show off.

"It's still the same thing 15 years ago." Ye Ziqi replied:
"At that time, Yin Changqin followed the emperor of the Song Dynasty to the wilderness to eliminate demons, and horse thieves took advantage of the gap to attack. Although General Lian fought back in the end, after Yin Changqin returned to the country, seeing the ruins of the city, he still regretted not being in the most dangerous place in the country. When he is in charge of the overall situation, he hates himself for being king;
In addition, he fought to death the Great Wilderness Qin Demon, and he was also seriously injured, unable to preside over the recovery work in the country, so he gave up the throne to his younger brother Yin Changshu, and went to retreat for more than ten years. "

Gu Feng nodded, and said: "Look, what's the reason for the dissolute behavior of the Hou Wang who followed Baichenghou?"

"Become a king with nine directions." Ye Ziqi said: "The king who raises horses, be bold and unrestrained, it's not surprising."

"Horse King?"

"Well, each generation of King Cheng is also the owner of the Chengyuan Racecourse. It is said that the ancestor of King Cheng was a military general in the Tianfeng period. In order to avoid the disaster of war, he led his clan to the north. By chance, they found a hidden valley—— Chengyuan lived and worked in peace and contentment there and established a pasture.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, the number of residents continued to increase, and they moved out to the surrounding areas, forming nearby towns.Chengyuan has also become the economic lifeline of northern Leizhou, and its high-quality horses are famous all over the world.

Later, when the emperor of the Song Dynasty attacked the barbarians in Ganzhou, Jiu Fangci, the owner of the Chengyuan horse farm, offered to donate a thousand good horses to help him. The Emperor Song rewarded him for his loyalty, and he made Jiu Fangci the Marquis of Jiufang Ci, the first generation of King Cheng. .

Later, Jiu Fangci's descendants, even if they were princes, often regarded the owner of the racecourse as their first identity and raised the horses themselves, so their behavior was inevitably rough.

Speaking of the most interesting thing about their country, it is that Sun Liang, the general in charge of the army in Chengguo, was originally reused because he was good at looking after horses, so people called him "General Bole". "

"Oh, I understand." Gu Feng nodded, but then, the corners of his eyes widened again: "Why is that bodyguard sitting on the throne?"

"Ah?" Ye Ziqi heard the words and hurriedly looked up the stage, only to see a pale-faced, white-headed man wearing a red robe, who seemed to be from some famous exorcising demon family, now following a certain prince as a bodyguard The old senior sat down on the third Hou Wang's seat in the south, and then laughed and said:
"God, the bodyguard is sitting on the throne, that is the 'Sun Emperor' Xia Wuyang of the Ming Kingdom! The predecessor of the Ming Kingdom was the Sun Moon Sect, and later the sects developed a lot, and the Jiaoguo was established, named 'Mingguo'.

After the founding of the country, the Ming Kingdom still maintained its original political structure. The highest status in the kingdom were the two priests, known as the Sun and Moon Gods. Govern with the two kings.

Sun Yu and Yue Yu will never leave Ming Kingdom at the same time, since Xia Wuyang came here on behalf of Ming Kingdom, it means that 'Yue Yu' Qin Sishui is still staying in Ming Kingdom. "

Ye Ziqi was talking lively here, and several officers were also attracted to him, wanting to learn more, and coaxing him to talk more, Ye Ziqi was so happy to be praised, and just about to say a few more words, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of his heart :

"You bastard, don't attract attention." The voice of the old demon head said: "Your skills are too weak, even if I use tricks, I can't hide the demon body from the old man Yin Changqin's eyes. Remember, thousands Don't draw his attention, you are not allowed to use demon power today, and I will try not to talk to you again. Do it yourself!"
