The incident in Chaoming City had a great impact, because most people knew that although the city belonged to the Protectorate in name, in fact the rulers there were a group of naturalized natives.
But this time, Duhufu not only successfully wiped out all the upper tribes, but also restored the city to its original structure. It can be said that both Dutang and Xuanfu have earned a lot of prestige from this incident.
The only person who was unhappy in the whole thing was probably Shen Weijun.
But just as Zhang Yu expected, in order not to push the Shenwei army too hard, the Duhufu gave it a little grace, and also agreed to allocate more military expenses after the next year's scholar meeting.
But everyone knows that this is just a necessary means of control. Without its own financial power, the Shenwei Army can only rely on the capital's appropriation for maintenance.
Of course, this is only the case under normal circumstances.
Another month passed, and it was late December in the blink of an eye.
? In order to celebrate the coming New Year, there are still preparations for a taxi meeting in more than a month. A large amount of supplies are transported to Ruiguang by sea and artificial canals, and the fierce debate in the newspapers for more than two months has temporarily eased.
The only difference from the past is that nowadays, no matter at the pier or inside or outside the city walls, even traffickers and pawns are exercising slightly out-of-shape Xia etiquette when allowed.
Ever since the newspapers published the benefits of exercising the summer ceremony in conjunction with the breathing method and various ways of saluting, this etiquette has been accepted by people at an extremely fast speed, and has spread to all towns within the territory of the Duhufu.
Over the past two months, anyone who insisted on exercising this etiquette has truly felt the benefits of it. Not only did their energy recover faster, but many tortures and strains from the bones and muscles also subsided. .
Near Dan Port, a thin old man stood on a wall pier, watching the people coming and going in the port, the gray beard on his chest was swaying in the wind.
The servant walked up to him, as if he was afraid of disturbing him, he whispered, "Mugong?"
"Um."
Yao Hongyi asked without looking back: "Do you know who that Tao Sheng is?
The servant bit his head and said: "Every time the people from the Hanmo Newspaper office pick up the manuscripts, they go to Anlu Juli, which is also the property of the Anjuhui. We can't find out Tao Sheng's identity, we can only be sure. This person must be from Taiyang Academy."
Yao Hongyi was noncommittal, and with the knowledge and insight shown by Tao Sheng, he could guess that he must be a certain teacher or even a school order from Taiyang Academy without checking.
He sighed: "I didn't expect that just one article would ruin most of my life's hard work."
In the end, the "new ceremony" he worked so hard to plan was easily destroyed by an article!
However, looking at the people on the port who were smiling and exercising Tianxia etiquette to each other, what surged in his heart was not anger, but fear.
Because he found that what he has been trying to obliterate all this time is still rooted in the hearts of every citizen of the Imperial Guard. Will immediately recall the original identity, and move closer to it without hesitation.
He closed his eyes, raised his head slightly, and waited for the noise in his ears to recede, leaving only the sound of the turbulent tide. After a long time, he opened his eyes again, with a sharp light in them, and said, "Go, take that share." Give the things to Deputy Captain Yan, and tell them what they said last time, and I agree."
The servant bowed and said, "Yes, sir."
In the main hall of Yan's Manor, Yan Xulun was tasting tea. His face was as usual, but it could be seen that his expression was no longer as calm as before.
After more than two months, Almotai still hasn't come back.
He could only try to appease his daughter, saying that she was going to carry out a secret mission.
He knew very well that Almotai said he was going to hunt the Luojiao Baishan Giant Bull in name, but in fact he was going to intercept and kill Zhang Yu, but he didn't think that Almotai's disappearance was related to Zhang Yu. Something must have happened here Accident.
Many people now think that Almotai must be dead, otherwise it is impossible that no news has been sent back.
But he didn't believe it.
In his mind, unless Zhu Que, Marquis of the Marshal, or Xuan Shou of the Xuanfu personally took action, who would be able to kill Almotai, whose body was almost perfect?
There was a trace of fatigue in his eyes, now relying on his previous prestige, he can still temporarily suppress the voices below, but if the time is delayed longer, then someone will put Almotai into missing.The roster, and then choose another military candidate to come up.
And his control of the Shenwei Army mainly relies on Almotai. If he loses him, he will go back to the past again. He is only a nominal commander of the Shenwei Army, but he has no real power.
This is absolutely intolerable to him!
At this time, a trusted family member walked in from the outside, his face was full of joy.
Yan Xulun asked strangely: "What's the matter?"
The confidant came up to him and whispered a few words in his ear.
After Yan Xulun heard it, surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said: "Where is the thing, where is it? Bring it here quickly."
After a while, a parchment scroll was delivered to him. He opened it and looked at it. It was densely covered with talisman figures, like a map, but he didn't know the words on the side notes, so he frowned. Said: "What word is this?"
The friend said: "According to Mu Gong's servant, this is an ancient indigenous language."
Yan Xulun raised his head and asked: "How many scholars in the Duhu Mansion are proficient in ancient characters?"
Dearly said: "Lord Wei, there is no need to go to them, I know that a person will be able to read the words on it."
Yan Xulun also seemed to have thought of something, and said in an unquestionable tone: "I don't care what method you use, within three days, I want to see this person."
The relative said: "Yes."
This time the work was done very quickly, but in less than a day, the cronies came to report that the person had arrived.
Yan Xulun came to the secret room under the manor, and there was a man sitting opposite him with a hood on his head.
After he came to sit down opposite the other person, he motioned for a moment, and a person came forward, and the hood on the person's head was removed, revealing an old and decrepit face, but there was still a trace of light in his eyes. Share shrewd and deep.
Yan Xulun looked at him and said calmly, "Qiu Xueling, do you recognize me?"
Qiu Xueling glanced at him, showing a dazed look, then shook his head.
Yan Xulun smiled and said: "No, you know me." He paused and pointed with his finger, "Although you act very similar."
Qiu Xueling was silent for a while before he said, "What do I need to do?"
Yan Xulun nodded, and said: "Qiu Xueling, you are very sensible, so I won't talk nonsense, we have worked so hard to get you out of the prison of the Sikou Yamen, it is impossible to let you go back easily , I need you to help me translate some words. After I succeed, you can continue to live with me. You are not short of food and clothing. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything to you. After all, a scholar like you Not easy to find."
Qiu Xueling said in a deep voice: "Shang Xueling of Linzhi Academy, he is also a famous scholar of ancient characters, why don't you go to him, instead come to torment me, an old man?"
Yan Xulun said: "We will look for him, this does not conflict with looking for you."
Qiu Xueling stopped talking and asked directly: "Where is the thing?"
Yan Xulun appreciated his cooperation very much, and gestured to his cronies, who immediately stepped forward, spread the parchment on the table in front of Qiu Xueling, and thoughtfully gave him a pair of glasses.
Qiu Xueling put on his glasses, but instead of reaching for the parchment, he just looked at it.
Yan Xulun asked: "How about it, can you translate?"
Qiu Xueling didn't answer right away. After a while, he took off his glasses, sat back, and said, "It's ok, but most of them are code words, and they're full of the artist's own idiosyncrasies and respectful words to the gods. It would take a certain amount of time to compare and try back and forth, if I was the only one.¡±
"how long it takes?"
Qiu Xueling said: "Half a year."
Yan Xulun vetoed without hesitation: "It's been too long, Qiu Xueling, this is not learning. I need you to get the results as soon as possible. I will give you a month at most."
Qiu Xueling shook his head and said, "It's impossible." He thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Three months, three months is the minimum time, I can't go any faster, even if you guys kill me, I won't kill you." Might be done."
Yan Xulun stared at him, obviously judging the authenticity of this sentence, but Qiu Xueling looked at him calmly.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze, thought for a while, then looked at the person again, and said: "You said you can't do it alone, what if we find your disciple Zhan Zhitong?
Qiu Xueling said: "At least one-third of the time can be saved, maybe two months." With a few people working together, maybe it really only takes a month."
When Yan Xulun heard him mentioning Zhang Yu, his expression changed slightly, his voice was slightly cold, and he said: "Qiu Xueling, you should take care of your own affairs first, as for other things, you don't need to worry about them, we will make arrangements."
