Chapter 313: A chance encounter with a visitor from Shu
Not knowing whether there were enemies lurking in the dark night, they had learned a bloody lesson. The two of them no longer flew along the road, but instead ran in the fields and wilderness after identifying the direction.
After further verifying Liu Qingyi's secrets from Yanying, Fu Jingtao felt deeply uneasy. Liu Qingyi gathered the old Chai family's troops, purchased a large amount of ordnance privately, and a rebellion was imminent. However, neither Zhao Kuangyin nor Zhao Guangyi knew about it and did not make any targeted moves.
Deployment, once the incident occurred, the Song Dynasty court would be caught off guard and very passive.
Moreover, Liu Qingyi had been planning for a long time. Apart from contacting Zhou Zongliang, how could he know that he had not secretly communicated with Xishu or Northern Liao? It would be a cruel move to dismember the Song Dynasty by cooperating internally and externally!
If he didn't move, he would be fine. If he moved, he would deal a fatal blow to the Zhao and Song dynasties.
Zhao Kuangyin has great talents and unparalleled martial arts skills, but he is a man and not a god after all. How can he reverse this unfavorable situation?
Fu Jingtao was worried, and suddenly noticed that the beauty next to him had a disturbed breath, so he took the initiative to suggest taking a rest. Yin Lianlian actually insisted on it, and naturally agreed after hearing the words. So the two of them turned into a forest and sat quietly to adjust their breath.
A night of silence.
The sky gradually brightens, and the morning light falls. The crow of roosters and the chirping of birds are intertwined, which can be heard far and near. The red sun emerges, and the pink glow slants down, through the gaps between leaves and branches, forming a line in the woods.
A transparent beam of light.
Fu Jingtao woke up from his deep sleep and slowly opened his eyes.
I saw green trees, tangled vines, lush weeds, birds singing among the branches, countless mosquitoes flying in the beams of light, and a vibrant atmosphere everywhere.
After a series of fighting and running, and many life and death wanderings, it is not easy to enjoy the morning in the forest quietly. This trip to Tokyo is really bumpy and difficult!
He took a deep breath of the cool air full of vegetation, calmed down and looked at the flying insects, and laughed dumbly. His restless mood was gone. Looking at the long history, isn't a human life as short as a flying insect? Looking for a job?
Everything depends on God, just do it with all your heart and soul, but the results are often beyond your control.
Fu Jingtao stood up and stretched his muscles a little, when he suddenly heard a sweet and clear voice: "Sir, where are we?"
His heart moved, and in a blink of an eye he saw that Yin Lianlian had woken up, her eyes sparkling like two rolling black gems, the evil spirit between her brows was gone, and Bai Lian came back with a pure and lively aura. She said softly: "
We are on our way to Fucheng. Don’t you remember what happened last night?”
Yin Lianlian tilted her head and frowned slightly: "I vaguely remember that I encountered an enemy ambush last night. There were swords, swords, shadows, and a terrifying magic gun! The devil was tall, cold, ruthless, and almost killed me. By the way,
Young Master, you got hurt trying to save me!" As he spoke, tears filled his eyes, obviously he was moved by thinking of the situation at that time.
Fu Jingtao guessed that "Yin Lianlian" fell into a deep sleep again due to injury, and he didn't know when he would wake up. He said with a smile: "Silly girl, if I exchange your skin and flesh wounds for your life, it will be a huge profit after all."
What are you sad about about the business?"
Yin Lianlian whispered: "Young Master has been so kind to me, how can Bai Lian repay me?"
Fu Jingtao feigned anger and said, "Am I the villain who shows kindness in return? If anyone wants to kill you, they must first step over my body!"
Yin Lianlian was even more moved: "Young Master, I vow to cultivate unparalleled martial arts, protect you in the future, and destroy all enemies for you!" The little face was full of fighting spirit and radiant.
Fu Jingtao was stunned for a moment. Why was it completely different from what he expected? Shouldn't Yin Lianlian be moved and take the initiative to throw herself into his arms? Why did she slip towards the direction of the super female fighter? Will she have to rely on women to protect her in the future?
? Thinking of this, he felt a little awkward and sighed: "Bai Lian, remember, haste makes waste in everything! The same is true for martial arts practice, too much force will not be beautiful."
Yin Lianlian nodded and said, "I will definitely keep it in my heart."
Fu Jingtao hunted several birds with bows and arrows, plucked their feathers and removed their internal organs, set up a barbecue, and shared them with Yin Lianlian. The barbecue was full of color and flavor, and Yin Lianlian ate it with relish, her mouth full of oil. Fu Jingtao was
There was a lot of ridicule.
When it got daylight, the two of them started on the road again.
The farmers appeared one after another busy in the fields, patiently tending the crops. The two of them asked all the way, and finally turned onto the official road and went straight to Xingyuan Fucheng.
Because Yin Lian Lian's secret injury had not healed, Fu Jingtao bought a donkey cart to travel around, and hid the eye-catching iron bow in the car to avoid being spotted by Liu Qingyi's spy.
The official road is wide and flat, and there are teahouses and restaurants every three to five miles for people to rest and take a rest. People and cars come and go on the road, and the road is filled with the sound of hawking, selling all kinds of local products, tea, fruits, snacks, etc.
You can see them everywhere. Yin Lianlian lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at the scenery on the roadside. Sometimes when she saw something delicious and interesting, she asked Fu Jingtao to stop and buy it.
Nearing noon, I saw a majestic and vast ancient city stretching across the horizon, standing between the blue sky and the earth. I don’t know how many vicissitudes it has experienced. Hanzhong, the land of Longxing, countless emperors and generals came and went like a revolving lantern.
, a rich historical chapter has been written here. The flags at the top of the city have been changed again and again, and now they are under the control of the Song Dynasty.
If Liu Qingyi raises the banner of the Later Zhou Dynasty, this ancient city will usher in another violent turmoil. Its final ownership determines the trend of all countries in the world and is extremely critical.
Suddenly, a commotion came from behind, and pedestrians and businessmen rushed to both sides of the road like knives chopping waves.
I saw smoke and dust billowing, and a large group of people and horses meandering from west to east, with numerous flags and neat ranks, extending at least two or three miles from end to end.
The first to clear the way was a group of Song Dynasty cavalry. They were extremely tall, with shiny armor, and red clothes like fire. They were holding bright spears and red flags. They looked majestic from a distance. The gong sounded, and the leading official raised his voice from time to time.
Shouted: "The envoy from the Kingdom of Shu is entering Beijing, pedestrians should avoid it!"
The Kingdom of Shu was located in the southwest, occupying the natural dangers of the Shu Road and sitting on the Thousand Miles Plain of Chengdu. Its prosperity and wealth were far superior to those of the Central Plains. However, the Emperor of Shu did not want to make progress, indulged in pleasure, and was incapable of employing people. As a result, the Shu army was repeatedly defeated by the Song army.
At a disadvantage in the battle for national destiny.
The merchants and travelers couldn't help but whisper among themselves. Is the Shu Kingdom sending its ministers to Tokyo this time to ask for mercy and negotiate peace? As a citizen of the Song Dynasty, everyone immediately felt that their faces were shining and how proud they were.
The envoys of the Kingdom of Shu marched with dignity, and a large flag with the word "Shu" was erected on the carriage following them. There were elite soldiers guarding them on the left and right. Their white clothes were as beautiful as the snow, and they were as beautiful as clouds. Most Shu people are delicate and elegant, with medium stature.
They are very different from the big men in the northwest.
In the middle of the procession were gifts presented to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and his courtiers. Nearly thirty carriages were filled with them, and they were all covered tightly with tarpaulins to prevent outsiders from prying at them easily.
At the very end were dozens of white-robed swordsmen, each riding a horse and walking slowly, their divine light revealed, and their concentrated sword energy soared straight into the sky.
