Over the following two days, Sang Hong goes to Governor's Residence and swallow palace once for a while beams with joy, expresses oneself being concerned to fellow colleagues and sympathizes. 接下来两天,桑弘时不时去太守府和燕王府露个脸,表达自己对各位同僚的关切与同情。 But really wants him to do specifically, was pushed by him experienced cleanly. 但具体真要他干什么,则被他老练地推得一干二净。 The 3rd day, the steamship of mission set sail to continue the established journey officially. 第三日,使团的大船正式起航继续既定的旅途。 Has the free time on the way, Zu An then looks to be the model Daji, according to «Thousand People of At the same time» on method exercise picture techniques. 途中一有空闲,祖安便把妲己找出来当自己模特,按照《千人一面》上的方法锻炼画技。 How what a pity no matter in this period Zu An attempted, has not obtained Rage Points from her body again. 可惜期间不管祖安如何尝试,再也没有从她身上得到过一次愤怒值。 Doing him even suspected that previous that Rage Points can be the misconception. 搞得他甚至怀疑上次那一点愤怒值会不会是错觉。 However what is encouraging, his picture technique naked eye grows obviously. 不过可喜的是,他的画技肉眼可见地增长。 He now after all is cultivator, to control and utilization of strength is not the average person may compare, moreover powerful spirit power makes him study the thing to be twice the result with half the effort. 他如今毕竟是修行者,对力量的掌控和运用绝非普通人可比,而且强大的精神力让他学起东西事半功倍。 From the beginning draws the Down syndrome patient Daji, has been able to draw 78 by the present reluctantly scanning. 从一开始将妲己画成个唐氏综合症患者,到现在已经勉勉强强能画得七八分像了。 But Zu An looks at true person Daji each time, contrasts again marks, cannot bear the sigh picture technique be high, is very also difficult to describe her true beauty. 可是每次祖安看着真人的妲己,再对比画上的,就忍不住感叹画技再高,恐怕也很难描绘出她真正的美丽。 Steamship toward northbound some time, then the mission changes to comes ashore to ride a horse to head west. 大船往北行了一段时间,然后使团改为上岸骑马西行。 Yunzhong County in northwest, without waterway of direct link. 云中郡地处西北,没有直达的水路。 Walked toward the west was very long, finally entered in Yunzhong County. 一路往西走了很久,终于进入了云中郡境内。 Different with other counties, Yunzhong County vast territory with a sparse population, vast in territory, the area even adds also to want big several times compared with the south several counties. 和其他郡不同,云中郡地广人稀,幅员辽阔,面积甚至比南边好几个郡加起来都还要大几倍。 Before here scenery and different, first passed by a broad desert, is seriously bleak only has the stone, let alone the tree, even the grass saw one rarely. 这边景色和之前大不一样,先是路过了一片广阔的戈壁,当真是荒凉得只有石头,别说树了,连草都难得看到一根。 Luckily the group are Imperial Court elite, cultivator has a strong constitution, in addition has the guide who the local government authorities send to guide, although laborious, pours also has no danger. 幸好一行人都是朝中精锐,修行者体魄强健,另外还有当地官府派遣的向导带路,一路虽然辛苦,倒也没什么危险。 The only small interlude runs into the mounted bandit who did not enlarge ones vision, this place was too poor, compelling them to take risks, in the evening runs to sneak attack, wants to grab a number of commodities from the team. 唯一的小插曲就是遇到了一股不开眼的马贼,想必这个地方太穷了,逼得他们铤而走险,晚上跑来偷袭,想从队伍中劫掠一批物资。 Finally they have not expected this group of people and common officers are different, Zu An and Sang Hong do not have take action, Gao Ying and Pei You led the imperial guards to solve them neatly and quickly, each and everyone also felt does not satisfy a craving, after all came out is so long, finally had the place that they displayed, these may be the meritorious military service. 结果他们没料到这批人和一般官兵不一样,祖安和桑弘都没出手,高英和裴佑带着羽林军三下五除二就将他们解决了,一个个还觉得不过瘾,毕竟出来这么久,终于有了他们发挥的地方了,这些可都是战功啊。 Only some Sang Hong take the weapons of these mounted bandits afterward looking pensive, because many are the standard weapon of government troops. 唯有桑弘事后拿着那些马贼的兵器若有所思,因为不少是官军的制式武器。 He and Zu An discussed that the conclusion that finally drew was these mounted bandits grabbed small government troops to snatch these weapons either, either some people resold outside these weapons. 他和祖安讨论一番,最后得出的结论要么是这些马贼曾经劫掠过一小股官军抢了这些武器,要么就是有人将这些武器转卖到了外面。 If the latter type, Yunzhong County here issue may be big. 如果是后一种的话,云中郡这边的问题可就大了。 However two people are also clear, these things they are worried also uselessly, only to Yunzhong County to check now slowly. 不过两人也清楚,这些事情他们现在担心也无用,只能到云中郡在慢慢查了。 After leaving Gobi Desert, the following scenery is not bleak, can bump into some scattered small towns once for a while. 离开大戈壁后,后面的景色就没那么荒凉了,一路时不时还能碰到一些零零散散的小城。 Continues toward the west, the prairie and mountain valley and so on appearance at present, in the winter, the prairie has certainly been dried up now, everywhere what hanging is the white snow. 继续往西,草原、山谷之类的出现在眼前,当然如今冬季,草原早已干枯,到处挂着的是白雪。 In the mission team, mostly is the Capital person, has not seen here scenery, each and everyone has felt novel actually interesting. 使团队伍中,大多是京城人,从来没见过这边的景色,一个个倒是觉得新奇有趣。 Even Sang Hong often acclaimed here scenery sublimeness heartfeltly, to the people introduced all the way these places several hundred years ago Monster Race domain, afterward after making determined efforts of Human Race line of kings, bit by bit snatched to turn into the Human Race paradise from the Monster Race hand, in the tone felt the proud feeling. 连桑弘都经常由衷赞叹这边景色的壮美,一路上给众人介绍这些地方几百年前还是妖族的地盘,后来经过人族历代帝王的励精图治,一点一点从妖族手中抢过来变成了人族的乐土,语气中充满了自豪之感。 Zu An does not know that also has this origin, is looking at the vast vast world, thought that Monster Race is really resigned to lose this fertile soil forever. 祖安倒不知道还有这一层渊源,望着一望无际的辽阔天地,心想妖族真的甘心永远失去这块沃土么。 Gao Ying and Pei You instigate Zu An to compose a poem once for a while, two people got to know the benefits in Capital before, was deliberately considering increases the name again in the new poetry, that will really be the celebrities eternity. 高英和裴佑则是时不时怂恿祖安赋诗一首,两人之前在京城尝到了甜头,寻思着再将自己名字添加在新的诗词里,那真是名流千古了。 Zu An rejected them without hesitation, peer is some big Master, moreover was that could not be more familiar, whom acting cool gave to look. 祖安毫不犹豫地拒绝了他们,同行的都是些大老爷们,而且都是熟悉得不能再熟悉的了,装逼来给谁看呢。 His present energy all in enhancing picture technique, while pitching camp once for a while brings Daji to draw from nature to the open country. 他现在的精力全在提高画技上,趁安营扎寨的时候时不时带着妲己到野外去写生。 Does not know that once for a while the beauty and the Daji lovely enough to cause the fall of a city world beautiful appearance gave him the inspiration, he felt that the own picture technique progresses by leaps and bounds, as if has achieved quickly study " Thousand People of At the same time » requests. 不知道时不时天地之美和妲己倾国倾城的美貌给了他灵感,他感觉到自己的画技突飞猛进,似乎已经快达到学《千人一面》的要求了。 Passed over half a month on this, one group of people arrived in the clouds the city finally. 就这样又过了大半个月,一群人终于来到了云中城。 Sees is some small towns, looks at that palatial city wall from afar, everyone also some are not familiar with from the beginning. 一路看到的都是些小城,远远望到那巍峨的城墙,大家一开始还有些不习惯。 Looks in the clouds the scale of city, must be greatly more than beforehand changed/easy city. 看云中城的规模,比之前的易城都还要大不少。 However wants to come also to understand, Yunzhong County is rich in Origin Stone, can be called the rich enemy seriously, simultaneously is the politics, economy and the military center length and breadth northwest, the nature is also lively. 不过想来也能理解,云中郡盛产元石,当真称得上富可敌国,同时又是广袤西北的政治、经济、军事中心,自然繁华雄伟。 The Yunzhong County official obtains the news, greets outside the city. 云中郡的官员早已得到消息,纷纷在城外迎接。 „Welcomed Minister Imperial Envoy and his party!” “恭迎钦差大臣一行！” Is the head has three people, middle that is Yunzhong County defends left Su, Zu An deliberately considered that this fellow potbellied appearance, looks like some previous life typical corrupt official images very much. 为首的有三人,中间那个是云中郡守左苏,祖安寻思这家伙大腹便便的样子,很像前世一些典型的贪官形象啊。 However his attention puts to arrive that small beard body quickly by him, is slender, lives straight eyebrows slanting upwards and outwards star actually, but that two cast aside the fine small beard, nail and eyebrow these obviously after careful beautification, whole person, although can be called the scholarly to be charming, but always gives people a greasy feeling. 不过他的注意力很快放到站在他旁边的那个小胡子身上,身材颀长,生得倒是剑眉星目,但那两撇精致的小胡子,还有指甲、眉毛这些显然都是经过精心修饰的,整个人虽然称得上儒雅帅气,但总给人一种油腻之感。 Zu An paid attention to him naturally is not had the interest in the man, but was this person of he had seen in the mountain valley outside Brightmoon City initially, at that time only knows was the Yu Yanluo brother-in-law Jane/simple two masters, now is clear about his concrete status. 祖安关注他自然并非是对男人有了兴趣,而是这人他当初在明月城外的山谷中见过,当时只知道是玉烟萝的小叔子简二爷,现在才清楚他的具体身份。 Originally he was the Yunzhong County governor's headquarters for commanding officer Jane/simple Taiding! 原来他就是云中郡都督府代都督简泰定！ Yunzhong County in northwest, will often be invaded by Monster Race, like other county places what is responsible for the military is Wei, for example front changed/easy Jun sheep victory, but Yunzhong County is higher first-level governor's headquarters. 云中郡地处西北,时常会受到妖族侵扰,像其他郡地方负责军事的是都尉,比如前面易郡的羊胜,但云中郡这边则是更高一级的都督府。 Was the commanding officer by Yunzhong County Duke Jane/simple Yanyou, usually was responsible for guarding the Yunzhong County security, simultaneously resisted the border invasion Monster Race wait/etc. 由云中郡公简延祐担任都督,平日里负责镇守云中郡的安全,同时抵御边境侵扰的妖族等等。 After Yunzhong County Duke is missing, then by his younger brother, was Jane/simple Taiding of governor's headquarters long history held the post for commanding officer temporarily. 云中郡公失踪之后,便由其弟,原本是都督府长史的简泰定暂时担任代都督一职。 Zu An thinks that such a character, came Brightmoon City to be unexpectedly quiet initially, even has not alarmed the Brightmoon City local official as well as Brightmoon Duke Chu Zhongtian. 祖安想到这样一个人物,当初来明月城竟然悄无声息,甚至没有惊动明月城地方官员以及明月公楚中天。 Sees his time for the first time, oneself cultivation base is very low cannot see anything, now sizes up carefully, the opposite party aura is reserved, the eye contains the god light/only, seems the Grand Master strength. 第一次见到他的时候,自己修为还很低根本看不出什么,如今仔细打量,对方气息内敛,眼含神光,似乎已经是宗师的实力。 Sovereign also really thinks highly of him, here sends him to come to cope with Jian Sang Hong unexpectedly although is Imperial Envoy is causing, but he only has Eighth Rank, the high-end military force acting in mission only has Gold 11, but Gold 11 is he! 皇帝还真是瞧得起他,竟然派他来这边对付简家-桑弘虽然是钦差正使,但他只有八品,使团里的高端武力担当只有金牌十一,可金牌十一就是他呀！ Thinks that here Zu An has to despise Chu Zhongtian, similarly is Duke, having a look at others Yunzhong County Duke here to be imposing, younger brothers were Grand Master. 想到这里祖安不得不鄙视楚中天了,同样是公爵,看看人家云中郡公这边多威风,一个弟弟都是宗师了。 However initially Chu Chuyan seemed to have said with him, in the past Chu Zhongtian has been seriously injured, realm drops, otherwise not possible to be bullied by Royal Court before like that. 不过当初楚初颜似乎和他说过,当年楚中天受过重伤,境界跌落,否则之前也不可能被朝廷那般欺负。 Some Sang Hong are keeping off in front, how he pours does not need to treat with courtesy, only with casual smile nod then. 有桑弘在前面挡着,他倒也不用怎么去应酬,只用随便微笑点头即可。 However introduced through them, Zu An focuses on another appearance being upright, dignified in appearance middle-aged man body, he is in the clouds City Lord Pechot of city. 不过通过他们相互之间的介绍,祖安将目光放在另一个面目方正,仪表堂堂的中年男人身上,他是云中城的城主裴绍。 The government position , the key is he is but actually surnamed Pei, lay in that Pei You and he discussed really happy vigor, obviously he is the Pei Mianman father who the premise of Pei You passes. 官职倒也罢了,关键是他姓裴,看裴佑和他相谈甚欢的劲儿,显然他就是裴佑之前提过的裴绵曼的父亲。 „Big Peipei, must see you finally.” Is looking at the city in the clouds distant place, the Zu An look becomes especially earnest. Since the previous distinction, he has lost the opposite party message to be very long. “大曼曼,终于要见到你了。”望着远处的云中城,祖安眼神变得格外热切起来。自从上一次分别,他已经失去对方音讯很久了。 The Imperial Envoy mission team was greeted to enter a city by many officials, leads by the specialist in the temporary office of president calm, diverges as for other officials respectively, in the evening will defend the mansion to prepare the welcome banquet in the county. 钦差使团队伍被诸多官员迎接进了城,由专人带领在行馆中安顿下,至于其他官员则各自散去,晚上会在郡守府准备欢迎晚宴。 Sang Hong summoned Zu An quickly in private: „Just saw Jane/simple Taiding, you to his impression how?” 桑弘很快私下召见了祖安:“刚刚见到了简泰定,你对他印象如何？” Temper that „this person makes a great show of one's talents actually not, obviously is Grand Master, actually instead stands in the county defends below head. If really loyal and devoted does not dare to Royal Court oversteps slightly, is occluding the person of big evil intent.” The Zu An recollection just saw to reply. “此人倒不是锋芒毕露的性子,明明是宗师,却反而站在郡守的下首。如果不是真的对朝廷忠心耿耿不敢有丝毫逾越,便是包藏着大祸心之人。”祖安回忆刚刚所见答道。 „Yeah, I also think like this.” In the Sang Hong eye was full of the worried look, „does not know whether Gold 11 could cope with him, I just inquired that similar Jianren, he did not know at all unexpectedly, even does not know that did not have Gold 11 to Yunzhong County.” “哎,我也是这样想的啊。”桑弘眼中充满了忧色,“也不知道金牌十一能否对付得了他,我刚刚询问肖建仁,他竟然一问三不知,甚至都不知道金牌十一到云中郡没有。” „I think that should arrive.” Zu An said with a smile embarrasedly, „right, can relate local Gold Embroidered Garment Envoy? If some people collaborate, should be easier.” “我想应该到了吧。”祖安讪讪笑道,“对了,可不可以联系一下本地的金牌绣衣使者呢？如果有人联手,想必应该容易许多。” Sang Hong shakes the head: „I have asked similar Jianren, other Yunzhong County not Gold Embroidered Garment Envoy, because only then the Vassal King country will have Gold to assume personal command, Yunzhong County here situation is special, has not arranged Gold to assume personal command.” 桑弘摇了摇头:“我问过肖建仁了,云中郡并没有其他金牌绣衣使者,因为只有藩王国才会有金牌坐镇,云中郡这里局势特殊,并没有安排金牌坐镇。” Zu An thought that looks like Sovereign to be worried the royalty rebels. 祖安心想看来皇帝更担心皇族作乱啊。 Two people discussed that Zu An then seized the chance saying that visited Yunzhong County, familiar environment. 两人商讨了一阵,祖安便趁机说出去走访一下云中郡,熟悉环境。 Sang Hong nods: „My goal is too big, we are one light and one dark, I attract everyone to pay attention the temporary office of president, you go to investigate the case is also good in secret.” 桑弘点了点头:“我的目标太大,我们一明一暗,我在行馆这边吸引大家注意,你去暗中调查一下案情也好。” The Zu An look is strange, he goes out today is mainly sees Pei Mianman. 祖安神色古怪,他今天出去主要是去见裴绵曼的。 Because of the Sang Qiàn reason, he not the good truth to consider, can only comply ambiguously. 因为桑倩的缘故,他又不好实情相告,只能含糊地应了下来。 Comes out from the temporary office of president, Zu An passes through a remote lane, the appearance very quickly changes different. 从行馆出来,祖安走过一条偏僻的巷子,容貌很快变得大不一样。 After this cultivation, he although now also has no way changed/easy Rongcheng the concrete somebody's appearance, but uses thousand people gradually to change the own appearance at the same time is actually not difficult, such later he does not need to wear the beforehand person again- Skin mask. 经过这一路的修行,他如今虽然还没法易容成具体某个人的模样,但是利用千人一面稍微改变一下自己的样貌却是不难,这样以后他就不需要再戴之前的人--皮面具了。 The City Lord mansion is very easy to look, looks at the entrance big Pei Residence two characters, Zu An is even more excited. 城主府很好找,看着大门口偌大的裴府二字,祖安心情越发激动。 Naturally the present status walks the main entrance is incorrect, he circled, found a defensive weak point, flew quietly. 当然现在的身份走正门是不行的,他绕了一圈,找到一处防守薄弱点,悄悄飞了进去。 Has jade badge to open the perspective/see through map, Bright Mirror is Not Yours hides essence qi to fluctuate, gale such flickering moves to the skill, the City Lord mansion, although guards sternly, but before him is almost the shape such as nominal. 有玉琮开透视地图,明镜非台掩藏元气波动,大风这样的瞬移技能,城主府虽然守卫森严,但在他面前几乎是形如虚设。 Where Zu An is seeking for Room Pei Mianman, the distant place corridor was broadcasting Pechot's voice suddenly: „Heir apparent came from far away, before had not gone to greet, really neglected.” 祖安正寻找着裴绵曼在哪里,忽然远处走廊传来了裴绍的声音:“世子远道而来,之前没有前去迎接,实在是怠慢了。” „Heir apparent?” The Zu An look narrows the eyes, seemed like bumps into the old acquaintance. “世子？”祖安眼神一眯,似乎是碰到老熟人了啊。
