prince's rivers and lakes

Chapter 143 Jiang Hongshu's Sword

The hull of Caiyun Xinghe Tower is extremely huge, drifting with the current in the Nanhuai River, floating like falling from the ecstasy realm of the fairy world.

There are all kinds of melodious sounds in the boat. Some people sing, some recite poems, some play music, some dance.

Talented people bloom here, and knights sing songs to wine here, soothing the grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes.

Caiyun Xinghe Tower will dock at dusk and moor at some designated piers. Guests board the ship one after another. When the lights are on and night falls, the cables will be released, and a night of extravagance and extravagance will begin.

In the morning mist filled, Caiyun Xinghe Building docked again, guests disembarked after a night of fun, scattered in carriages and sedan chairs, and returned to their own prominent positions in Longyin City, or luxurious mansions, or temporary residences. The inn where you live and so on.

The girls on the boat used their years to leave behind the weight of the guests: they are all white things.

Money is free, some people get it without any effort, it seems that they naturally exist in his pocket, while some people will sell all they have for a little bit.

Using youth and a beautiful body seems to be an acceptable cost.

"There are three fires for a new official to take office, and the monarch must do something to show his existence when he succeeds to the throne. This is our opportunity... If in the hands of the old prince who has a corpse meal, the Caiyun Xinghe Building will be registered as a Jianghu Zongmen is really not an easy task, and I don’t know how long it will take.”

Caiyun Xinghe Tower has submitted documents to the Kyushu Mansion many times, but there has been no news. Liang Yundan naturally does not have a good impression of the old prince.

Caiyun Xinghe Building is the way out that Liang Yundan seeks, and it can only be used in the future if it is registered as an official Jianghu sect recognized by the imperial court in Kyushu Prefecture.

The official sect of the rivers and lakes is no longer a nameless trash fish... trash fish are easily swallowed by big fish in the rivers and lakes, and disappear without a trace in people's stomachs.

At the same time, the official Jianghu sect, as long as they have enough financial resources, can bid for the medicine field belonging to the sect at the medicine field auction controlled by Kyushu Prefecture.

The size and quality of the medicinal fields determine the development prospects of the sect.

All the big sects in the Jianghu have their own medicine fields, and no big sect with a large number of people relies entirely on buying medicines to maintain the sect's needs.

Liang Yundan has been secretly doing his best to protect the Caiyun Xinghe Building, so that it can operate better and better, just to save money in the future. The medicine fields under the control of Kyushu Prefecture are all in the Kunlun Mountains, which are full of aura and rich in products. The one-year medicinal materials planted there are equivalent to the ten-year medicinal materials picked in the wild in other mountain forests.

Such a medicine field is naturally valuable, but if one wants to develop one's own sect, one has to buy a piece of medicine field even if one wants to lose one's fortune.

"I will prepare presents... As long as the Fujun succeeds to the throne, all the sects in the rivers and lakes will send congratulatory gifts. It is difficult for us to have a chance to catch his eyes, right?"

Lan Xinghe is responsible for the daily operation of the Caiyun Xinghe Building, so she is naturally good at dancing. If it were someone else, she would have thought about it long ago, but giving gifts to the governor of Kyushu Prefecture really gave her a headache for a while.

"Congratulations on the succession gift, don't need to be too overbearing... After all, we are still just a painting boat, and we don't really belong to the rivers and lakes, let alone under the jurisdiction of Kyushu Prefecture. For the governor, he doesn't care about gifts from others. How precious it is, he only cares about which sects gave it and which ones didn't." Liang Yundan saw Lan Xinghe showing a headache, stretched out a finger and gently pressed her temple.

Liang Yundan's soft fingers, extremely skillful and flexible fingertips, lightly pressing, made Lan Xinghe close her eyes slightly comfortably, the candlelight in her half-open eyes became blurred, and her lazily lying posture made her Like Liang Yundan, his figure is extremely slender.

The tip of the toes protruded from under the skirt, the shoes fell, the delicate little feet stretched and nestled, the two calves were staggered and rubbed, and Lan Xinghe groaned: "I heard that Fujun is very young... ah... I am going to arrange a day, The girls in the Caiyun Xinghe Building only entertain him, and the Shuiyun Room on the third floor is his exclusive guest room here."

"What if he takes a fancy to you?" Liang Yundan quit previewing Xinghe's operation, just smiled, and his fingers slid down the solar system to Lan Xinghe's soft chin, slightly raised.

Lan Xinghe already held his head high, but at this time his chin was raised even more, his cheek leaned against Liang Yundan's arms, as if Liang Yundan's gentle face was clearly reflected in the dark eyes in the background of the galaxy.

She didn't care much about what Liang Yundan said, but said calmly: "Willing to die for the landlord, this is a lowly body, if it can be used for some purposes, so why not?"

Liang Yundan just let his fingers leave Lan Xinghe's chin and ran along her neck, making some muscles under Lan Xinghe's fair and delicate skin tremble slightly.

"It's not just our family that caught his attention. All the people in Longyin City are dormant, and they will only show up after he succeeds... As the son of Prince Langya, what is his reputation?" Liang Yundan then asked road.

Lan Xinghe stretched out two fingers, pulled out a picture scroll from his sleeve and opened it.

He has a big square face, full of energy, thick and horizontal eyebrows, slightly protruding eyes that are calm and majestic, a high nose bridge, and darkly painted and tightly pursed lips.

"It's a little familiar. Basically, if there is a portrait of a good-looking young hero in the Jianghu, they are not bad." Liang Yundan took a look, and couldn't help frowning.

"It is said that Shizi himself is handsome, but he doesn't show up often. The portraits circulating in Longyin City are the painters' descriptions of his appearance based on people who have seen him. It is said that they are [-] to [-]% similar."

Lan Xinghe remembered Liang Yundan's portrait of the arrest warrant at the gate of the city, and couldn't help laughing: "It's much better than your portrait, right?"

Liang Yundan shook her head lightly. The portrait at the gate of the city should be based on her appearance when she was dressed as a village woman, so it is quite different.

It's a bit annoying to see such an ugly portrait... Liang Yundan thought of Bangyi, did he see this portrait of her when he entered the city?

Smiling, Liang Yundan picked up the wine bottle again, only to find that she had already poured it out.

What is certain is that she is now swaggering on the streets of Longyin City, and no one will associate her with Liang Shisanniang, the Jiangyang thief Liang Shisanniang. It's just a delicate woman.

"This prince is a bit vicious and cruel... I have heard a lot of comments about him in the building. It is said that on the first day he just returned to the mansion, because the housekeeper didn't recognize him in the first place, he directly dismembered him. Written with my brain: Those who stand in my way will die, such words."

Lan Xinghe couldn't help but frowned, it was precisely because such an elder son would succeed the mansion that Lan Xinghe was ready to "give up his life to die".

Hearing this, Liang Yundan opened his mouth slightly and took a deep breath. It's not uncommon to kill people like hemp, but it's rare to write with brains.

"He heard that his family's guards were imprisoned in Fusi West Prison, so he broke into Fusi West Prison and cut the jailer who had abused his family's guards into five horses. Everyone knows that the horses in Langya Palace are from Longyin City. The most majestic and powerful..." Lan Xinghe shook his head, this was said by people from the Kyoto government here, and the credibility is still extremely high.

Liang Yundan slightly sneered, if you really want to say that people's lives are being ignored, it must be these princes and nobles. Ordinary people will pay for their lives if they miss a murder due to emotional disputes.

"Rong Qingshu of the Rong family was impeached by others, and in the end he was left alive and dead. His Huancai Pavilion was burned down, Cishu Xianfang was split in half with a sword, and some of them had mortgages and money. The shop where the debt was borrowed was seized by the Langya Palace."

If this guy wasn't in charge of the Kyushu Mansion, Lan Xinghe would not want to deal with him anyway.

"Is the Rong family easy to bully?" Liang Yundan felt that this was a bit outrageous. The royal family of the Langya Palace was extremely respected, but the Rong family was also a relative of the emperor. The queens are all surnamed Rong.

"There is no conclusion on this matter... It's just that when the Rong family was drinking here, they mentioned that they suspected that this matter was related to Prince Langya's son." Since ancient times, brothels and cottages have been suitable places for information gathering.

Most men are always prone to reveal something intentionally or unintentionally when they are a matchmaker. Not everyone can be firm in their minds and keep their mouths shut.

People have one mouth, and it is their instinct to discuss, gossip, divulge, circulate, and speak, but keeping secrets is against the requirements of human nature.

"It's not easy for Cishu Xianfang to be cut in half with a single sword." Liang Yundan imagined a girl in white holding a sword in his mind, and said in astonishment, "Isn't Prince Langya's son a teacher at Tiandaomen?"

"Yes, this is a well-known fact in the Jianghu. The master of Prince Langya is Jiang Hongshu, the most amazing and brilliant swordsman genius since the founder of Tiandaomen's self-created school, and a swordsman who has never been born in the past thousand years." Lan Xinghe's eyes glowed with longing. .

If you and the landlord, there is one person who can be a genius like Jiang Hongshu, why can't things happen?
"Many years ago... Jiang Hongshu was the one who broke through our Yumen city gate with a single sword, made the garrison defenseless, and retreated six hundred miles and there was no place to recuperate with lush water and grass." Liang Yundan's expression was calm, his eyes However, the figure of the girl in white is filled in it.

Getting taller and taller, the sword she raised seems to be hanging high above Liang Yundan's head.

The unstoppable sword energy not only broke through the Yumen gate, but also made everyone lose their spirits. They only felt that their previous persistence, determination to restore the country, and expectation of perseverance were all so ridiculous and fragile.

Since then, Liang Yundan has never heard his father mention his plan to advance eastward. The homeland of the Central Plains, the vast land, the thousands of miles of land and mountains have really changed, and no longer belong to the buried former dynasty.

"How is it possible? Jiang Hongshu was only in her teens at that time, how did she do it?" Lan Xinghe didn't know about it.

All she knew was that Liang Yundan's father was originally a famous general in the previous dynasty. He was stationed at the border and had always been loyal. Facing the army of the new Qin Dynasty, he defended Yumen City with all his might, allowing the army of the new Qin Dynasty to attack hard for more than ten years.

At that time, the Xinqin side tried every means, using all kinds of coercion and temptation, even opened up a tunnel, and used all kinds of whimsical ideas.

The art of war of the sages of the past dynasties, hundreds of counselors, and the painstaking efforts of the famous generals and counselors of the new Qin Dynasty were unable to conquer Yumen City.

Apart from the fact that Liang Yundan's father led troops well and was good at defending the city, the main reason is that Yumen City's geographical location is extremely superior, with fertile and lush land behind it, and the city has a large population, so there are always soldiers to replenish the losses.

Beyond one pass, the place where Xinqin is stationed is a bitter cold, barren desert, and many places are alkaline land where not a single grass grows. Even if there is a steady stream of assistance from the rear, they are often attacked and looted by northern barbarians, and there are also sand thieves coming and going. Like the wind, when encountering a small group of troops, they fight directly, and when encountering a large number of troops, they follow behind, waiting for an opportunity to burn food and grass before fleeing.

One ebbs and another, even though the New Qin army has an advantage in every aspect, the Yumen City is still nailed there and cannot be removed.

"Yeah, I can't imagine how she did it." Liang Yundan recalled.

In fact, everyone knows that Yumen City will not be able to defend in the end, three years, five years, ten years, it just depends on when it can be defended at the latest, and the time gained before that can be used to plan To what extent are you ready.

It's just that no one expected that Jiang Hongshu would pass by there one day.

She was not a helper invited by the New Qin army, she was just passing by. She didn't have any mission, nor did she feel that Yumen City was not worth defending, nor did she feel pity for the countless casualties of the New Qin army, and she didn't think about the situation in Yumen City. Should people bear the fate of such a long-lasting sacrifice?

She saw both sides fighting.

She's going to go through the middle.

So she swung a sword.

Yumen Chengguan, the city gate that could not be submerged by fire and water, was directly broken into two halves.

Smoke is everywhere.

Liang Yundan still can't forget the look in his father's eyes. Obviously there are masters in the army, and obviously he also sent his daughter to learn martial arts. Jianghu warriors are not very useful in the army, so why is this woman who came from nowhere, able to fight with a single sword? Bring such a catastrophe?
In fact, until now, Liang Yundan couldn't figure out how Jiang Hongshu did it... At that age, Jiang Hongshu had just become a seventh-rank master?

Or has reached the pinnacle of the eighth rank?
She couldn't have entered the ninth rank in her teens, right?
However, in recent years, I have not heard the news that Jiang Hongshu has stepped into the realm of a master, and many people in the Jianghu are relieved: after all, Jiang Hongshu is just a genius, not a goblin.

"Looking at it now, the sword in Cishu Xianfang was really struck by Prince Langya's son. There is a disciple for every kind of master." Liang Yundan let out a long breath.

The picture of Gao Yunkuo that day at the Yumen Chengguan once again appeared before Liang Yundan's eyes. Back then, his father was facing Jiang Hongshu, which ruined his foundation for many years. Now facing Jiang Hongshu's apprentice, can he succeed?
