A month later, in a Connecting Heavens River Water Mansion Dragon King Palace back garden, Ji Yuan and old dragon to sitting before garden table, on this time has not been suspending chessboard, merely is the cakes and pastries tea. 一个多月后,通天江水府龙宫其中一处后花园中,计缘和老龙相对坐在花园桌前,这次上头并未摆着棋盘,仅仅是糕点茶水而已。 Ji Yuan and Ying three dragons also returned to here yesterday, but searched Dragon Corpse Insect as well as previously saw Fusang Sacred Tree and solar Golden Crow matter did not need them to spend what heart temporarily, Huang Long Huang Yuzhong will mainly be responsible to the dragon clan informs this matter, Ji Yuan they were also glad to rest. 计缘和应氏三龙也是昨天才回到这里的,但搜查龙尸虫以及此前看到扶桑神树和太阳金乌的事情暂时不需要他们费什么心了,老黄龙黄裕重会主要负责向龙族告知此事,计缘他们也乐得能休息休息。 At this moment, Ji Yuan is taking out from the sleeve the Xie Zhi picture scroll, places on the table to launch slowly, in Water Mansion the gentle limpid wave and has no influence on the picture scroll. old dragon is staring in the picture scroll in the one side carefully lifelike Xie Zhi, at the same time throws in the entrance to chew a berry. 此刻,计缘正将獬豸画卷从袖中取出,放在桌上缓缓展开,水府中柔和清澈的水波对画卷并无任何影响。老龙在一旁仔细盯着画卷上栩栩如生的獬豸,一面将一把浆果丢入口中嘴嚼。 Ji Yuan reads in the picture scroll unresponsive Xie Zhi, puts out a hand to build in the picture scroll to cross into some supernatural powers slowly, looks that Xie Zhi on picture scroll is getting more and more vivid, the color gradually is also bright, later sinking sound opens the mouth. 计缘看着画卷上毫无反应的獬豸,伸手搭在画卷上缓缓渡入一些法力,看着画卷上的獬豸越来越生动,颜色也逐渐鲜艳,随后沉声开口。 „Can Xie Zhi, have what words to Ji say?” “獬豸,可有何话要对计某说？” Ji Yuan these words seemingly asked inexplicably, actually have the reason, initially when observed Fusang Sacred Tree, Ji Yuan once took more than once the Xie Zhi picture scroll, but that several times, Xie Zhi picture scroll anything responded that did not have. 计缘这句话看似问得不明不白,其实是有原因的,当初在观察扶桑神树的时候,计缘曾经不止一次将獬豸画卷拿出来,但那几次,獬豸画卷什么反应都没有。 After Ji Yuan asked the words, waited for a meeting, the picture scroll still anything to respond does not have, old dragon looked at Ji Yuan one, just like Ji Yuan, the corners of the mouth also showed the smile. 计缘问完话之后等了一会,画卷依然什么反应都没有,老龙看了计缘一眼,和计缘一样,嘴角也露出笑容。 „Xie Zhi, did you previously also see Fusang Tree and solar Golden Crow?” “獬豸,你此前也看到了扶桑树与太阳金乌了吧？” Waited for a meeting, the picture scroll still not to have many responses, Ji Yuan and old dragon looks at each other one, the latter slight nod, the next quarter, Ji Yuan wielded the sleeve to fling a corpse, had several tables to be big in one side fully, attacked dragon group that monster outside the empty place where the sun rises. 等了一会,画卷依然没有多少反应,计缘和老龙对视一眼,后者微微点头,下一刻,计缘一挥袖甩出一具尸体,在一旁足有好几张桌子大,正是在虚汤谷外袭击龙群的那种怪物。 „Un?” “嗯？” Xie Zhi on picture scroll issues of doubts suddenly, Ji Yuan takes the picture scroll, aimed at the corpse of this monster. 画卷上的獬豸突然发出疑惑的一声,计缘将画卷拿起来,对准了这怪物的尸体。 „What wants to say?” “想说什么吗？” In the picture scroll started to ascend the black smog, the Xie Zhi beast skull had drawn close to the picture scroll surface, as if must drill from the picture scroll. 画卷上开始升腾起黑色烟雾,獬豸的兽颅已经贴近了画卷表面,仿佛就要从画卷中钻出来。 „Tiger flood dragon? This ghost appearance only has six at most scanning, small some...... pulled out his blood marrow to give this Sir!” “虎蛟？这鬼样子顶多只有六分像,也小了些……抽其血髓给本大爷！” Tiger flood dragon? In the Ji Yuan heart regarding the impression of tiger flood dragon, has not listened to seem like the flood dragon, but this appearance Xie Zhi said six scanning unexpectedly. However these considered that Ji Yuan depresses for the time being, he looks that Xie Zhi in picture scroll said. 虎蛟？计缘心中没有对于虎蛟的印象,听着像是蛟龙,但这模样獬豸居然说有六分像。不过这些思虑计缘都暂且压下,他看着画卷中的獬豸道。 „Actually you are only a picture, what unique element there is other, who draws your person is?” “你究竟只是一幅画,还是有别的什么特殊之处,画你的人是谁？” „Pulls out his blood marrow to this Sir, pulls out his blood marrow to give this Sir!” “抽其血髓给本大爷,抽其血髓给本大爷！” Xie Zhi starts the redundant type words, the Ji Yuan brow tight wrinkle, thought that this Xie Zhi is playing the fool, this time he is also disinclined to wrestle what mentality with Xie Zhi, takes over on the strength to shake, received the picture scroll, the reaction time does not give Xie Zhi. 獬豸又开始重复式话语,计缘眉头紧皱,觉得这獬豸又在装傻,这次他也懒得和獬豸搏什么心态,直接手上劲力一抖,就将画卷收了起来,反应时间都不给獬豸。 „, Did Mister Ji, why receive the picture scroll?” “呃,计先生,为何直接收起了画卷？” old dragon slightly has the doubts in one side, he thinks Ji Yuan with marking Xie Zhi again dialogue, but Ji Yuan is also open about the facts old dragon, looks at the picture to speak frankly. 老龙在一旁略有疑惑,他以为计缘会跟画上的獬豸再有一番对话的,而计缘也不瞒着老龙,看着画直言。 „Although passes on Xie Zhi is the fair beast, but cannot completely believe that in this chart possibly is really Xie Zhi, cannot help him, such well-known antiquity god beast cannot discuss it by common monster, solar Golden Crow Venerable Ying has looked, Xie Zhi naturally impossible and on Golden Crow, but is not a commonplace, since this Xie Zhi in front and others plays the fool in me repeatedly, Ji is impossible to help this Xie Zhi.” “虽传獬豸是公正之兽,但未可尽信,这图中的可能是一只真獬豸,不能一直助他,此等有名有姓的上古神兽不能以寻常妖物论之,太阳金乌应老先生是看过的,獬豸自然不可能及得上金乌,但也绝非等闲,既然这獬豸在我等面前频频装傻,计某自不可能一直助这獬豸。” old dragon look understands clearly, recalled when sees that Golden Crow shock, naturally also looked at several points Xie Zhi high. 老龙神色了然,回想见到那金乌之时的震撼,自然也将獬豸高看了好几分。 „Mister Ji ponders rational, please have tea.” “计先生所虑有理,请用茶。” „Please.” “请。” In the time that two people judge tea, Ying Ruoli also entered in the institute, she was just from oneself Connecting Heavens River temple. 在两人品茶的时刻,应若璃也入了院中,她是刚刚从自己通天江的庙宇处回来的。 „Father, Uncle Ji, I came back.” “爹,计叔叔,我回来了。” old dragon is pointing at the table position. 老龙指着桌边的位置。 „Sits, said changes in three years.” “坐,说说三年中的变化。” Before Ying Ruoli approaches the table sits down, matter 11 that oneself will understand, said was not matter of the dragon clan interior, was not the Shintoism important matter, even with cultivation many relations, mainly has not been matter of Great Zhen in these three years. 应若璃走近桌前坐下,将自己了解的事情一一道来,讲的不是什么龙族内部之事,也不是神道大事,甚至和修行没多少关系,主要是大贞在这三年中发生的事情。 Regarding the generation of cultivation is the short three years, regarding the world said was long said was short, two matters were worth Ying Ruoli reiterating, first was Great Zhen Emperor Hongwu passed away one year ago, new emperor succeeded to the throne later such has not sealed the honorific titles like the first several generations of emperors to oneself, by the influence that emperor master Yin Zhaoxian educated since childhood, new emperor is thought that if not for vained, then the non- outstanding emperor cannot have the honorific titles, oneself following the great treasure, did not have that qualifications newly. 对于修行之辈来说是短短三年,对于人间来说则说长不长说短不短,有两件事值得应若璃着重说,第一是大贞洪武帝在一年前驾崩,新帝继位之后没有如同前几代皇帝那样给自己封尊号,受帝师尹兆先从小教育的影响,新帝认为若不是爱慕虚荣,则非杰出帝王不能有尊号,自己新继大宝,没那个资格。 Ying Ruoli said slowly the first matter, Ji Yuan puts down tea, looks the train of thought to say after a sigh. 应若璃徐徐说完第一件事,计缘放下茶盏,面露思绪地感叹道。 „Right, Hongwu emperor has died......” “是吗,洪武皇帝已经死了啊……” Initially Ji Yuan saw the Yang Hao fate was not abundant, but after entered «Wild Fox Shaming» together was slightly good, without thinking was only supports for two years is less than points passed away. 当初计缘就看出杨浩命数不盛,但在一起进入了《野狐羞》之后稍稍好了一些,没想到还是只多撑了两年不到一点就驾崩了。 „This second matter, un, perhaps Uncle Ji, the father, you could not guess correctly, the Zu Yue country dispatched troops to Great Zhen.” “这第二件事嘛,嗯,计叔叔,爹爹,你们或许也猜不到,祖越国对大贞动兵了。” Ying Ruoli said, old dragon has no response actually, Ji Yuan obviously stares. 应若璃才说完,老龙倒是没什么反应,计缘则明显一愣。 „Un? Does the Zu Yue country dispatch troops to Great Zhen?” “嗯？祖越国对大贞动兵？” This Ji Yuan has not thought that wants to come counter- one also to have the possibility in him on the contrary, how can also the Zu Yue country take the lead to break the truce contract to dispatch troops to Great Zhen? 这计缘是没想到的,在他想来反一反倒还有可能,怎么还能祖越国率先打破停战合约对大贞动兵的？ „Good, moreover Uncle Ji, passed away the second half of the year in Emperor Hongwu, the Zu Yue country dispatches troops into battle 80,000, is known as the brave soldiers 300,000, two months attacks and captures the Great Zhen border region six to close 13 strongholds, enters Qi province, the place of Qi province half boundary falls to the enemy......” “不错,而且计叔叔,就在洪武帝驾崩后半年,祖越国起兵八万,号称雄兵三十万,两月攻克大贞边陲六关一十三寨,杀入齐州,齐州半境之地沦陷……” This development hears Ji Yuan even to feel some dramatizations, the Zu Yue country internal disorder and foreign invasion turbulence is uneven, can achieve this victory unexpectedly? Should this be the Zu Yue country wrestles finally? 这发展听得计缘甚至觉得有些戏剧化,祖越国内忧外患动荡不平,竟然能达到这种战果？这该是祖越国最后一搏了吧？ „Response of that Great Zhen?” “那大贞的反应呢？” Ji Yuan knits the brows such a to ask, Ying Ruoli knows Uncle Ji compares the matter of concerned about Great Zhen, therefore naturally truthfully and replied exhaustively. 计缘皱眉这么一问,应若璃知道计叔叔比较关心大贞之事,所以当然如实且详尽地回答。 „The Great Zhen entire country burns with rage, from Rural gentry, to the common people common people, gets angry in Zu Yue all attacks, in my temple praying, has to ask to guarantee the Great Zhen war winner, now many Confucian scholars throw the pen to join the army, many along the Confucian scholar of saber......” “大贞全国上下群情激愤,上至士豪乡绅,下至黎民百姓,无不怒于祖越来攻,我那庙中祈福者,多有求保大贞战事获胜者,如今就连不少儒生都投笔从军,更不乏随身佩剑的儒生……” „......” “哦……” Ji Yuan nods slowly, old dragon at the same time smiled actually. 计缘缓缓点头,一边的老龙倒是笑了。 „Hehe, a little meaning, obsolete, although has no interest too many in the matter of the world, but also knew for some time that Zu Yue country humanity is tattered and torn, listening to the meaning of Ruoli, Great Zhen also to suffer a loss?” “嘿嘿,有点意思,老朽虽然对人间之事无太多兴趣,但也素知祖越国人道千疮百孔,听若璃的意思,大贞还吃了大亏？” Ji Yuan has been counting divination, did not say related to the matter of humane destiny, but calculates will be difficult in the future, calculates that actually did not use fee/spent too many strengths, can understand a general direction. 计缘已经在掐指卜算了,涉及人道气运的事都不好说,但算未来难,算过去却不用费太多力气,能了解一个大概方向。 „To put it bluntly near Great Zhen the army have a low opinion of the enemy, has to do mental arithmetic to have no interest, suffers a loss.” “说白了还是大贞边军轻敌,又是有心算无心,才吃了大亏。” Counts on the fingers does not watch the video recording, in having trigram direction such big situation, understanding is not the absolute detail, but knows that is not a problem probably, generally speaking, is in the Great Zhen army almost everyone thinks that the Zu Yue country national condition is extremely bad, simply does not have the courage to attack Great Zhen, thinks that the Zu Yue country extant army will not have what battle efficiency, finally has a low opinion of the enemy to the defeat. 掐算不是看录像,在起卦方向这么大的情况下,了解的也不是什么绝对细节,但知道大概不成问题,总的来说,就是大贞军中几乎人人认为祖越国国情极差,也根本没胆子来攻大贞,更认为祖越国现存军队不会有什么战斗力,结果轻敌至败。 Hears these two matters, Ji Yuan sighs slightly, sets out to say goodbye directly, old dragon are not many remains, but before , that small altar/jar Ambergris who promises gave Ji Yuan, matter that even if no Ying Feng, originally this liquor still plans and Ji Yuan drinks together. 听到这两件事,计缘微微叹了口气,直接起身告辞,老龙也不多留,只是将之前答应的那一小坛龙涎香送给了计缘,不过就算没有应丰的事,本来这酒也是打算和计缘一起喝的。 Had/Left Water Mansion, treads the wave to live the fog to fly, shortly after later Ji Yuan fell in the national capital prefectural city. 出了水府,踏波生雾而飞,没多久之后计缘就落到了京畿府城之中。 The street is still lively, is still extremely busy, Ji Yuan walks on the street, the pedestrian merchant contact is unceasing. 街道依旧繁华,也依然热闹非凡,计缘走在街道上,行人客商往来不绝。 „Sells the pancake, the new pancake candied haw, is sour and sweet......” “卖饼子,新出炉的饼子冰糖葫芦,又酸又甜咯……” „Bow and arrow, sold the bow and arrow, stone Qianggong, beyond hundred may put on Zu Yue clever placenta armor!” “弓箭,卖弓箭了,一石强弓,百步之外可穿祖越贼子衣甲！” ...... …… Ji Yuan is walking on the street, in the ear is various noisy lively dialogues and street vendors'cries, the line of sight tows in the street upstream, although is slurred, but seems like this early winter season, the wear just like in the person of Confucian scholar, in ten has eight unexpectedly sabers, hangs holds the sword to walk in the waist, his Ji Yuan appeared the alternative on the contrary. 计缘在街头走着,耳中是各种嘈杂热闹的对话和叫卖声,视线在街上游曳,虽然模糊不清,但看起来这初冬时节,穿着犹如儒生的人中,十个里面有八个居然都佩剑,挂在腰间扶剑而走,他计缘反倒显得另类了。 Suddenly, outside the teahouse in not far away, there is a waiter to call outward loudly. 突然间,不远处的茶楼外,有伙计对外大声吆喝起来。 „Rimmed army news, this teahouse rimmed army news, as long as comes to the building to make tea forwards as an enclosure snack one” “有边军消息咯,本茶楼有边军消息,但凡来楼中点茶附送茶点一盘” „What, army news? Walks, has a look!” “什么,边军消息？走走走,去看看！” „Wait I, occupy a place, occupies a place!” “等等我,占个座,占个座啊！” ...... …… Many people who on the street hear this sound moved, some stall keepers of setting up a stall also some urged nearby peddler to help look after the stall much, oneself hurried to run in the sound lively direction, in the scholars and pedestrians on these streets were so. 街道上听到这声音的许多人都动了起来,一些摆摊的摊贩也有不少叮嘱旁边小贩帮忙照看摊位,自己则赶紧往声音热闹的方向跑,那些街上的读书人和行人中更是如此。 Ji Yuan footsteps, picks up the speed to walk toward front later, when he arrived at that teahouse time, inside position is full, but also some people, teahouse table that original one table sit four people, now at least is pushing 89 people, more people sit the small stool near the corridor porch pillar, or is standing simply, almost in a people of hand holds a teacup, the master teamaker is carrying the teapot to pour tea. 计缘脚步一顿,随后也加快速度朝着前头走去,等他到了那座茶楼边上的时候,里面的位置早就爆满,但还有人在过来,茶楼桌子那本来一桌坐四人的,现在起码挤着八九人,还有更多人在过道廊柱边上坐着小凳子,或者干脆站着,几乎人人手中都捧着一个茶杯,茶博士端着茶壶一个个倒茶。 The teahouse was almost encircled watertight, several master teamakers raise the teapot to pour tea everywhere, in ability excellent the public bus ticket seller like the Ji Yuan previous life memory, can achieve to make everyone simply buy simultaneous/uniform Piao on the jam-packed vehicle. The place of only exception is near a counter table, that side is standing a middle-aged Confucian scholar who takes the paper fan. 茶楼几乎被围得水泄不通,几个茶博士提着茶壶四处倒茶,简直如同计缘上辈子记忆中本领高超的公车售票员,在拥挤不堪的车上能做到让所有人买齐票。唯一例外的地方就是柜台边上的一张桌子,那边站着一个拿着纸扇的中年儒士。 „Everyone, the Zu Yue petty people bully my Great Zhen very! Near the army while me enter Qi province unprepared, the Zu Yue country is turbulent, the so-called sergeant is similar to the bandits and rebels simply, kills and burns to plunder in Qi province, causes the Zu Yue country more and more bandit soldiers to enter a country, I rush to rescue Qi province toward several groups of armies, the vanguard have done several with the Zu Yue bandit soldier!” “各位,祖越鼠辈欺我大贞太甚！趁我边军不备杀入齐州,祖越国动荡,所谓军士简直如同贼匪,在齐州烧杀抢掠,更引得祖越国越来越多的匪兵入境,我朝几路大军驰援齐州,先锋已经和祖越匪兵做过数场！” „One crowd of thing! Yes, I wish one could the battlefield to serve the country!” “一群混账东西！是啊,我恨不能上疆场以报国！” „I toward calm and steady peaceful, the national strength is powerful, the Zu Yue petty people do not think to thank me toward to its magnanimously, dares to bring about own destruction!” “我朝安稳太平,国力强盛,祖越鼠辈不思感激我朝对其大度,竟敢自寻死路！” Suddenly, in the teahouse burns with rage. 一时间,茶楼里群情激愤。
