Chapter 84
Chapter 84 Border Monument
Luo Yunsheng left Mount Lu and walked eastward. With the money given by the King of Wan, he bought a donkey, bought a pot of good wine, and walked on the official road while drinking.
There are fields on both sides of the official road. Now is a good time to grow vegetables. The scorching sun shines on the green vegetable leaves, full of hope for harvest. Moving forward, the Xunyang Border Monument. After passing the Border Monument, it is no longer the jurisdiction of the Lushan School. The green vegetable seedlings end suddenly near the Border Monument.
It seems that someone has drawn a line on the vast land. On one side of the line is a prosperous and tender green, and its vitality continues to spread to the horizon; on the other side are cracked and dried land and scattered lonely graves, and crows hover in the desolate fields, screaming.
A place without sects is no different from a land without a master. No one is willing to farm here, because he worked hard to grow it, he would be snatched away by idle gangsters in the world. The royal family is weak, the world collapses, and the rules and regulations are useless.
Luo Yunsheng grabbed the donkey, stood at the boundary monument for a long time, picked up his pen, and wrote word by word on the monument:
After falling heavily, Luo Yunsheng stared at the world mark for a long time, raised his head and drank a big mouthful of wine.
If this continues, Dazhang will die.
When he was young, he traveled all over the country with a sword and a pen. He saw not only beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, but also the miserable life of the people, and the building would fall. He was born in an extraordinary background and read a lot of books since he was a child. He had the righteousness of the world in his heart, and always wanted to turn the world around with his own strength.
The teacher who agreed to be the prince, told them about the previous dynasty, the rules and the governance of the country was hoped to cultivate an emperor who could save Dazhang. However, it still failed. One or two people only knew how to win over the sects and survive, forget the dignity of the royal family, and forget the foundation of governing the country.
"Hahahaha, everyone is drunk and I am sober, why bother to come! Drink, drink!" Luo Yunsheng laughed loudly and raised the wine gourd to the donkey chewing leaves.
The donkey glanced at him, spit out the undelicious leaf with a spit, and lowered his head and pulled a leaf of vegetable, which was chewy vigorously.
One person and one donkey walked slowly and found a small town to rest before dark.
The town is quite prosperous, with inns and wine shops. The vendors and the people from the rivers and lakes are all in a hurry.
The wine gourd was empty, so Luo Yunsheng went to the wine shop first to buy wine.
"Can there be Xunyang wine?" Luo Yunsheng asked when he handed the wine gourd to the store owner.
"No, there will be no Xunyang wine after passing Xunyang." The store owner is a stout woman with a mute selling wine and a shiny big knife on the table.
"Then you need Du Kang Bar." Luo Yunsheng took out a piece of silver and threw it over. The previous dynasty was not allowed to use silver in the street, but copper coins were only used; Dazhang was not allowed when the founding of the country, but the jurisdiction of the court became increasingly relaxed, and people in the martial arts world did not understand these, so the silver gradually became circulated.
In the wine shop, a child stumbled out from the restaurant opposite. The child was thin and weak, holding a steamed bun in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth. Before he could finish eating, he was kicked to the ground by the waiter who was chased out.
"Woo woo..." The waiter and a strong man guarding the shop kicked and beat the child around. The child was sobbing and crying while stuffing the remaining steamed buns into his mouth.
A cold sword suddenly stabbed in front of him, and the waiter and the strong man quickly dodged.
"Why do you want to hit him?" Luo Yunsheng stopped in front of the child and looked at the two big men coldly.
"Didn't you see him stealing?" the waiter said confidently.
Luo Yunsheng pulled the child up and threw it to Xiaoer two copper plates. The waiter weighed the copper plate in his hand, looked at Luo Yunsheng who was angry with a scholar, sneered, turned around and went into the store to ignore it.
When he turned around, the child had already run away. The woman in the wine shop covered the wine gourd and hung her eyes and said, "The world is so chaotic, so it's better to meddle in other people's business."
Luo Yunsheng frowned slightly, subconsciously touched the wallet around his waist, and his waist was empty, "I'll pick up the wine gourd in a while." After that, he turned around and chased the child in the direction where he had just run away.
When I chased to an alley, I saw two gangsters standing inside. One of them grabbed the thin child, snatched the purse he had just stolen, and threw the person heavily on the ground.
Luo Yunsheng rushed forward, caught the child, and put it aside, "Thank you for your help, the wallet is mine, please give it back to me."
"Oh, what you said is yours is yours? This is obviously my wallet, but it was stolen by this little bastard!" The gangster sneered, pulled out a short knife from his waist, raised his hand and stabbed Luo Yunsheng.
Luo Yunsheng drew his sword and steadily blocked the gangster's blade. His swordsmanship is not worth mentioning in the sect, but he is still more than enough to deal with such gangsters. He knocked people to the ground in just a few moves.
The gangster stared at him viciously and suddenly whistled. The whistle fell, and a dozen people suddenly appeared in the courtyards on both sides of the street.
"Who is playing wild in our town?" The leader had a scar on his face, and his tiger back and bear waist looked very ferocious. The group of people were holding big swords. Seeing Luo Yunsheng a weak scholar, he smiled contemptuously and chopped him up without asking.
Luo Yunsheng was shocked. These people had a way to make moves. They were all martial arts people, and their martial arts were not low. More than a dozen people flocked to him, and his ordinary swordsmanship was soon a little stretched.
"Wow—" The scar man in the lead shouted loudly, causing everyone to retreat. He jumped up and slashed his head.
"Bang!" The sound of close soldiers echoed on the empty streets. This move was like a thousand golds pressing down. Luo Yunsheng was pressed by this force and knelt on one knee, and he struggled to support him before he could not be cut to his neck.
"Haha, go ahead and kill him!" I thought this man was going to compete with him, but after suppressing him, this man immediately ordered the younger brother on the side to come up and finish the fight.
The sword in my hand cannot move, and blood will splatter on the spot if it moves; but if it doesn't move, more than a dozen swords will pass through my chest. I have been in the world for many years, but will I be ruined today?
The big sword reflected the light of the sunset, shining on his face. Luo Yunsheng closed his eyes and waited for death.
"Bang!" A few crisp sounds, the big knife that was barely chopped in front of him was lifted up by an iron hook. Luo Yunsheng opened his eyes and saw a moon-white shadow passing by in front of his eyes. He slapped the strong man in the chest, slapped the strong man backwards and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Seven..." Luo Yunsheng said a word, and he felt as if he was pinched his throat and could not make a sound. Because the scene in front of him was too incredible, the boy wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved shirt was Chen Ziqi who had only seen two days ago.
The body rises and falls, like a dragon, with every move and move, and the power of heaven is revealed. This is... the Dragon Roaring Magic!
Chen Ziqi only made a palm, and Wu Bujian and Tu Buxian rushed forward and fought with the group of people. There were four other men in black, followed closely behind. Soon, they beat a group of gangsters with good sword skills to the ground looking for teeth.
After handing a gray money bag in front of him, Luo Yunsheng came to his senses, took it to his hand, and tied it back to his waist.
r/>"Sir, are you injured?" Chen Ziqi bent down and helped the person up.
Luo Yunsheng bowed lightly, "Thank you for helping you."
"This area has not been peaceful recently, so sir, be more careful." Chen Ziqi reminded him of a gentle and polite attitude. Because of the Suxin Sect, many people from the martial arts world have been staying here recently, which is indeed quite chaotic. Leaving the Xunyang City protected by the Lushan Sect, there are dangers everywhere.
Luo Yunsheng nodded, without saying much, went straight to the restaurant to ask for the gourd, looked at Chen Ziqi who followed him step by step, and sighed slowly, "If the prince comes to be a lobbyist for the King of Wan, please come back. Luo is wherever he goes, and would rather die among famous mountains and rivers than be an official again."
After saying that, he raised his head and took a sip of wine, and walked towards the inn.
"Sir, I'm not the second lobbyist." Chen Ziqi looked lightly and looked back at Dan Yi who was standing with his hands behind his back after a few steps.
Luo Yunsheng also saw Dan Yi and couldn't help but stop, "That, is Your Highness Feng King?"
"That's right." Chen Ziqi smiled slightly. With Dan Yi around him, where did he need to be Chen Zijian's minion?
Luo Yunsheng carefully examined Chen Ziqi for a moment, "Your Highness is indeed the smartest among all princes... However, what Your Highness asks for is probably the same as that of King Wan, and Luo will not be able to obey his orders."
Chen Ziqi didn't stop him, so he turned around and bought roast chicken and wine. He looked for Luo Yunsheng, who was drunk and dreaming in the inn yard, sat on the ground and drank two glasses with him.
"Danyi doesn't allow me to drink, don't tell him," Chen Ziqi smiled and raised her head and drank a big glass. Her eyes were red with a red breath, "I didn't understand the things you taught me before, but this year, I suddenly understood it."
Luo Yunsheng paused with the wine glass, and looked at the wine glass in his hand with drunken eyes, without interrupting.
Chen Ziqi took another sip, sneering as if crying or laughing, "I saw what you said, the country is in decline, and the people are living in poverty; I also saw what you said, the royal family is declining, and the world is about to be in chaos."
"Prince..." Luo Yunsheng looked up suddenly and looked at him in shock.
"The country needs literati to govern it. Governing the country with martial arts is not a long-term plan after all." Chen Ziqi seemed to have no idea how shocking the world said, but just smiled and raised his hand to fill Luo Yunsheng and himself with Du Kang wine.
Luo Yunsheng held the cup and didn't drink it, his fingertips trembled slightly, "Is this really what the prince thinks?"
"Otherwise, can it be what the Feng King thinks for me?" Chen Ziqi clinked glasses with him, drank the wine in the glass, placed it heavily on the table, and suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Luo Yunsheng. "I have received the teachings of my husband since I was a child. I know that my husband is worried about the Chen family. To be honest, at Zhanghuatai, the gods chose Ziqi, who could practice the Dragon Roaring Magical Art with the guidance of the gods. Now Dazhang is devastated, and the heavenly virtue cannot save Dazhang, and Chen Zijian has no intention of saving him. Although Ziqi is not talented, he is willing to revitalize the rivers and mountains with his own strength, so that there are grains in the warehouse and officials in the yamen, practicing martial arts can serve the country, and studying can also serve the country!"
The cup in Luo Yunsheng's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he looked at the overly delicate young vassal king in front of him with a long-defeated heart. Because of the boy's words, the boy suddenly returned to his color and was about to jump out of his throat.
"So..." Luo Yunsheng stood up, helped Chen Ziqi up who was bent, and held his wrist tightly, "What does the prince want Luo to do?" The eyes of those scholars and swordsmen burst out with unprecedented light, which was the determination and hope that would die for the sake of the country and country.
Chen Ziqi smiled slightly, "I want sir, come back to the fiefdom with me to raise chickens."
"..." Luo Yunsheng's half-swallowed wine suddenly stuck in his throat, "What?"
