Chapter 71 Tianyue
Xiao Tianlei is not very interested in the history of the family, grudges, love and hatred. Anyway, they are all things that have been like a mess in the past. What can it be used for the present? At most, it is used as a story.
Before Xiao Tianlei answered, Xiao Tianyou said to himself, "At the time, when the Emperor of Daxia was in power, he wanted to reform. At that time, Xiao produced a great talent, who learned the academics of the Fazong and presided over the reform. As a result, the emperor was indecisive and believed in slander, which led to the failure of the reform. Xiao became a scapegoat. The entire clan exiled the ancestor of the Xiao family and helped him wholeheartedly, but ended up in a miserable end!"
The so-called Fa Zong is an academic sect that advocates governing the country with law and strengthening the country with law. It has a long history and still has many disciples today.
Speaking of reform, Xiao Tianlei naturally thought of reforms in the history of the world in the past life, Shang Yang reforms, Wu Qi reforms, Wang Anshi reforms, etc. Reforms and reforms may be good for the country, but those who are beneficiaries of the old system will not think so. Once they touch on their interests, they will inevitably lead to many obstacles from this group. Even if the reforms are successful and the country is strong, reformers may not be able to have a good end, and the reforms cannot be successful, and there will be no good ending. Not to mention the history of the previous life, the history of the world is the same. Many reforms in history are similar. Most of the reforms in this world will have figures from the Fazong.
From Xiao Tianlei's perspective, under the feudal system, the so-called reform and power of the country is just a small aspect. The bigger aspect is that the rulers maintain and consolidate their rule. Whether the people can benefit and whether their lives will be better is not what they care about, but the people are just. After all, how do the rulers' housework, how can they change themselves and make the dynasty end? However, it is better to change to a new one, and it is better for others to interfere less. Xiao Tianyou, the ancestor of the Xiao family, said that he is great talent, does Mingzhe protect himself understand?
Then again, there are different ideas and ideas. Who doesn’t want to do a career in this world? It’s famous for a lifetime. In the previous life, it is called realizing the value of life. Xiao Tianlei was an ordinary person in his previous life. Although he watched many people die for ideals, love, etc., he did not understand the ideas of those people after all. Film and television dramas were filmed by later generations. What is the real situation? Who knows? As an ordinary person, living is the most important thing. If you die, nothing will be left. If you are willing to die for something, you will either have a short circuit or be brainwashed.
There are many academic sects in Daxia, each with their own views and theories for governing the country. However, some of them really practice these concepts and regard these academics as a way to please rulers, get promoted and make money. If you really want the country to be strong and the people are happy, that may not be necessary. Therefore, Xiao Tianyou said about the tragic experience of the ancestor who didn't know the name, and Xiao Tianlei said how noble this person is and how lofty ambitions are. Xiao Tianlei was not at all touched, and he was looking for death himself, and he deserved it if he died.
"Brother Lei, the ancestor of our Xiao family he mentioned seems to have a good character." Xiao Tianbao said in the private chat system, roughly touching the experience of this ancestor.
"Anyway, if a person dies, there is no evidence of death. If you say anything, just say it. If you don't really touch it, you will know what kind of person you are. Besides, if you really have a person with noble character, your mind will definitely be broken, and you will eventually die and will also implicate your entire clan."
Xiao Tianlei and several brothers chatted in the private chat system, and did not express any opinions on the surface, and they were different in some basic concepts. It is purely meaningless to discuss this issue. Moreover, it is important to know that the disaster comes from the mouth. Xiao Tianyou's identity is probably not simple. Even if he is a relative, he still has to keep a little wary. Moreover, Xiao Tianyou suddenly said this, he is afraid that it has a purpose. As for the specifics, Xiao Tianlei is too lazy to think about it.
Xiao Tianyou said with emotion, observing Xiao Tianlei's reaction. Xiao Tianlei did not react at all, staring at the bonfire in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Not only Xiao Tianlei, but Xiao Tianbao also listened to the story. Xiao Tianyou said these naturally have purpose. If Xiao Tianlei showed a little sadness and anger, he would be able to continue his words later. Unfortunately, Xiao Tianlei was indifferent and he couldn't continue.
The next day we continued to set off. At this time, the crowd had already reached the border of northeastern Mozhou. There were continuous mountains in front of us, and the highest snow peak was the highest in the distance. The peak was like clouds. After Mozhou, we walked straight north to Beiliang, and the road was easier to walk. However, there were some checkpoints set up by Daxia. In order to avoid the emergence of branches, we could only turn the Tianyue Mountain. Xiao Tianyou and his friends walked from Beiliang to Mozhou.
Tianyue Mountain is a natural barrier that is extremely difficult to cross. However, no matter how difficult the road is, there will always be people walking. These roads are mainly used as smuggling channels. Walking on the dangerous mountain road, there are gravel at the foot, with erect mountain walls on one side and cliffs on the other side. There may be falling stones from time to time, and some paths even have to carry the horse over.
In the team, only Xiao Tianlei could sit on his mount, and there was no problem with steel mane walking on such a mountain road. Some of the more dangerous places rushed over, which attracted everyone's envy.
Most areas of Tianyue Mountain are relatively desolate, but they are quite legendary. There is a lake in the mountain, which is said to be a place for the moon god to take a bath. At night, the moon saw in Tianyue Mountain looks particularly large, and you can see some mountains on the moon surface, the moon pits, and the peaks of Tianyue Mountain are covered with a layer of psychedelic moonlight. The highest Tianyue Peak seems to have already reached the moon. The ice and snow on the snow peak emit silver light under the moonlight. In addition, it is said that some martial arts masters lived in seclusion in Tianyue Mountain, and hidden sects, but they are generally not visible.
While walking, Xiao Tianlei would pick up some stones to take a look. He was more interested in Tianyue Mountain because Tianyue Mountain produces moon stones. After returning to Wild Boar Ridge, he was able to buy the equipment of the Son of the Stars after returning to Wild Boar Ridge. After purchasing, he synthesized a piece of equipment, which is the one taken in the hero template. Xiao Tianlei didn't know the specific name in the game, named the Side of the Stars, augmenting the Side of the Stars, greatly saving the required qi and spiritual power. The Side of the Stars seems to be able to absorb some energy from the outside world. The specific one is about light energy, perhaps electromagnetic waves, cosmic rays, etc. If you can get more moon stones, you may be able to further upgrade the Side of the Stars. However, this is not the time. Xiao Tianlei plans to go to Beiliang first and take a look when he returns.
After climbing over the steep mountains, passing through cold glaciers, deep valleys and other dangerous terrain, after a difficult climb and trekking, everyone finally crossed Tianyue Mountain, crossed a dense forest, and finally arrived in Beiliang.
A large area in the north of Daxia, generally called the Northern Frontier, was not unified before and divided into many Di tribes. Even so, these Di tribes were also enemies of the Middle-earth Dynasty. The Di people often invaded the borders of the Middle-earth Dynasty and plundered. The war between the Middle-earth Dynasty and the Di people lasted for about a thousand years.
It doesn’t matter who is right and wrong. In order to survive, whoever is stronger can gain the advantage. In general, the Middle Earth Dynasty still has the advantage. Middle Earth is rich and has a large population. It gradually destroyed some Di tribes, drove the Di people away, occupied a large area of land, and established prefectures and counties to rule. However, the Di people were unified because of this, and fought with the Middle Earth Dynasty for many years and experienced divisions and reunions. Today, Beiliang is the Di country born after the establishment of the Daxia. It has been the great enemy of the Daxia since its establishment.
It is said that Beiliang has developed well in recent years. He appointed a group of civil servants and military generals from Middle-earth to learn the culture of Middle-earth. His country has flourished. He annexed some Di tribes in remote areas, basically completing the unification of the Di people, and expanded his territory to the extreme north and extreme east.
Not long after he walked out of the dense forest, he met a brigade of Di cavalry and also came forward to interrogate. This time, Xiao Tianyou's subordinates showed a golden token. When the Di cavalry saw it, they all knelt down. Looking at this scene, the fools knew that Xiao Tianyou's identity in Beiliang was probably very high.
"I had no choice but to deceive my clan brother before. My clan brother is now in charge of the position of General of the Capital Guard of the Northern Liangnan Guard." Xiao Tianyou said with a little apology.
"What kind of official is General of the Southern Guardian Palace? Is that big?" Xiao Tianbao asked.
"Well"
Xiao Tianyou then remembered that Xiao Tianlei and others did not understand the official system of Beiliang at all. Beiliang had two guards in the north and south, which were responsible for the military and political affairs of Beiliang. The southern guards were basically close ministers of the royal family, and most of them were relatives of the royal family. Xiao Tianyou estimated that even if Xiao Tianlei and others knew, they would not be surprised. These boys only recognized fists and didn't care about others.
Xiao Tianyou was not entangled in this issue either. The team advanced under the escort of Di cavalry. When they arrived at a pass in Beiliang, they stopped and repaired it.
Later, we learned from Xiao Tianyou that the Xiao family of Beiliang changed their surname after fleeing to Beiliang, which is the Xiao family of Beiliang. By chance, we formed a marriage with the Royal Family of Beiliang. Queen Mother Xiao, who is now in power in Beiliang, is Xiao Tianyou's aunt. Now many people in the Xiao family are officials in the Northern Liang court. Xiao Tianyou's eldest brother Xiao Tianzuo is also a general in command of Beiliang.
"My clan brother, do you want to follow me to Zhongdu?" Xiao Tianyou asked.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Tianlei asked back.
Xiao Tianyou was a little surprised and said, "Well, don't you want to see other members of my Xiao clan?"
When I went to meet my relatives who had not been in contact for many years, Xiao Tianlei was really not interested. He looked at his status and wanted to kneel down and worship him. He waved his hand casually and said, "It's so troublesome. Everyone is noble. I feel uncomfortable when I see it. You go by yourself. Don't forget that our deal is, you give me 20% more if you promise."
"Uh, is that clan brother coming to Beiliang for the purpose?" Xiao Tianyou asked again.
"I heard that there is a war here, so I want to take a look." Xiao Tianlei replied.
Xiao Tianyou was completely helpless. He really didn't care about his relatives or anything. He was not as important as those strange golds. The gems were important. He ran to Beiliang all the way to see the war. He didn't know what to say. Fortunately, after being together for a while, Xiao Tianyou knew that he could not understand the clan brother's thoughts. He thought for a while, so he said, "Since that's the case, I will arrange for someone to take the clan brother to Xidu, and I will go back to Zhongdu to report."
Xiao Tianyou knew the temper of these boys along the way, and he might start a massacre with a disagreement. He specially arranged a lot of people to stay and led Xiao Tianlei and his party to arrange some affairs on the way so as not to cause any trouble. It would be difficult to end at that time. Xiao Tianyou then changed his horse and rushed to Zhongdu with several guards.
After Xiao Tianyou left, Xiao Tianlei and his party's travel speed increased a lot. They were not deliberately rushing, but mainly because the terrain was flat and the road was smooth. Xiao Tianlei's destination was not the Zhongdu, the country of Beiliang, the East Capital, the West Capital, and the Zhongdu. The three large capitals of Beiliang are very different in different seasons in the northern border, and winter is very difficult. People move with the seasons. Before the establishment of Zhongdu, the royal family moved between Xidu and Dongdu every year. Xidu is closest to the border of Daxia. Once a war broke out between Beiliang and Daxia, it is the military center of Beiliang. Xiao Tianlei wants to see the war, of course he goes to Xidu.
Xiao Tianlei and his party set out from Lingzhou for a month. At this time, it was already a season of flowers, and the northern border was full of greenery and full of vitality.
Moving towards the Xidu, passing through some cities, it became more and more lively, and it looked similar to the cities in Daxia. However, the architectural styles were different in order to adapt to the environmental conditions in the north. The residents of these cities include Di people and some Middle-earth people. They came to Beiliang to settle down for various reasons. Because Beiliang learned the Middle-earth system, they could also see many people dressed by scholars. However, Beiliang and Daxia still have a big difference.
The Di people in Beiliang advocated martial arts and bravery. The number of martial artists on the street is significantly higher. Everyone carries swords and women are no exception. Men, women, young and old in Beiliang can ride horses and shoot archery. Equestrian archery is usually very good. Beiliang also produces some BMWs. At this time, it is the season for spring. Many people riding horses on the road, and some people are drinking and enjoying the scenery on the fields on both sides of the road.
If it was an ordinary caravan, it would be fine. At most, people took a look. Xiao Tianlei rode a fierce wild boar with a big steel bristle, which was really eye-catching and curious. People were afraid at first, but later, they found that the big wild boar did not attack people, and some people actually followed them all the way. Later, some people even wanted to come forward and take a closer look. Fortunately, Xiao Tianyou kept many Di guards and blocked those people outside. However, it still attracted a lot of onlookers, especially some women. Although Xiao Tianlei was wearing a hat, if you look closely, you could still see his appearance. He rode such a big wild boar. Although he was a bit ferocious and ugly, he felt majestic. The women in Beiliang were as enthusiastic as fire, and dared to love and hate. Now is the season for spring. When they see the young man they like, they usually wear garlands.
Due to the obstruction of Di guards and other horses, the women could not get close to each other, and rode their horses one by one, and threw garlands from Xiao Tianlei's head with a smirk. Most of them threw them very accurately, and those who were not trapped were not discouraged. They did it again, but the women started to compete to see who was throwing them accurately, just like playing a snare game.
It was difficult for Di people to stop this situation, and Xiao Tianlei didn't know what to do. It felt like Tang Monk was in the Journey to the West and had to go with them. There were many garlands on the steel mane, and some were eaten by the steel mane, which caused the women to scream. Not only Xiao Tianlei, Jiang Kui, Wu Meng, Xiao Tianbao, and Leng Lie to have a lot of garlands on them, which was thrown by the woman who liked them. The women in Beiliang were too enthusiastic and were watched by so many women. In the private chat system, they all said they couldn't stand it, so they could only try to keep their faces tense. After a long time, the muscles on their faces were a little stiff and the corners of their mouths twitched.
Watching the fun is human nature. As we move forward, more and more people come to see the steel mane. It is like going to the market. It is so lively all the way. After walking for a few days, I finally saw the west.
In this world, Xidu is also a very large city with a large population. Xiao Tianlei probably has to be watched again. Originally, it was nothing to get used to it. As a result, he was surrounded outside the city, and there were too many people. After asking the guards of the Di people, he realized that there were horse racing competitions outside the Xidu city. Many people watched it. I heard that there were strange things here, and almost everyone came to watch the fun.
There were too many people, and the team slowly moved forward with difficulty. The guards of Di people could not maintain the situation. Seeing that they were about to enter the city gate, several young people appeared in front of them, and rode war horses to block the way. One of the young men shouted: "That pig rider is so majestic! Do you dare to come down and compete with me?" To be continued.
Chapter completed!
