Chapter 185 There is rain in the rivers and lakes, and there is an appointment in the rivers and lakes (ten thousand rewards plus more updates)
This world has a vast territory and hundreds of ethnic groups. Among them, there are three most powerful Han countries, which exist side by side. The most powerful and prosperous country is the Yan State, followed by the Xia State, and finally the Wu State. The Han people formed the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
The Three Kingdoms Alliance is an alliance, mainly to jointly defend against foreign races, and also to consolidate the status of the Han people, because the strength of many foreign races should not be underestimated, such as Beimo, which once forced Xia Guo to admit defeat and sent the princess to the hostage.
Others, such as Xixia, Houjin, and Jurchen, although these countries are not comparable to Beimo, they are not weak. The three countries are located among various ethnic groups, and they have to report to the group for warmth. Therefore, the Triple Alliance is extremely important.
However, no matter how the three countries form an alliance, after all, it depends on the border. There will always be a lot of friction, especially on the border. It is impossible for that country to give up.
The land where the borders of the three countries meet is called a black region by the world.
The Three Kingdoms Alliance is to fight for the ruling power in the Black Region. Every year, a struggle will be held at the alliance meeting. This struggle means fighting between dragons and tigers.
In fact, it was not that the emperors of the Three Kingdoms did not think about taking turns governing at first, but they couldn’t continue to implement it after only a few years. Because of taking turns governing, each country only has one year. Do your best to squeeze the resources of the black domain, and then release the ruling power and let the other two countries repair it.
But no one is a fool, and they are unwilling to do thankless things. After repairing the black domain, they will take advantage of the benefits for the countries behind. Resources, within a few years, the people in the Black Territory were boiling with dissatisfaction, and in the end, they directly rebelled.
Although the black region rebelled and was quickly suppressed by the three countries together, it also sounded the alarm to the emperors of the three countries, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance Conference came into being to compete for the ruling power of the black region.
At the same time, in order to avoid wars among the Three Kingdoms due to the competition for the black domain, the rules for the black domain competition were established. Each year, a country is changed, divided into civil combat and military combat. Participants must not be over 30 years old and must be The younger generation must also be insiders of the imperial court, and cannot invite Jianghu sects.
This is also for the sake of fairness, because everyone knows that the strongest martial arts sects in the world are the seven sects and eight sects in the world. Of the fifteen strong sects, Yan State has seven, while Xia State has five, and Wu State has the least, only three!
Every year, the Three Kingdoms Alliance is a competition between the younger generation of the Three Kingdoms. In addition to the relationship with the black domain, there is also a big face problem, and it is also a country's right to speak. Therefore, the three countries pay special attention to this alliance meeting.
However, this year, more attention is paid to it, because this year's Triple Alliance meeting is of greater significance, because the courts of the Three Kingdoms are preparing to shoot the imperial court walking in the world at the same time!
In the early days of every dynasty, there will be a world walk, but Daxia has not had a world walk for decades, including Yan Guo and Wu Guo. Walking, the matter originated from a major event that shocked the world half a year ago!
Half a year ago, the emperor of Koryo, a small border country, died suddenly. Because there was no crown prince, the royal family was in turmoil. Cihang Jianzhai, one of the seven sects and eight sects in the world, actually publicly chose the emperor to take control of the royal family, and also got the support of many sects.
Although it did not affect any interests of the Three Kingdoms, since ancient times, the emperors have always claimed to be the Son of Heaven. Cihang Jianzhai has been provoking the majesty of all royal families, but because of some scruples and interests, no dynasty has attacked Cihang Jianzhai. .
However, Jianghu is powerful, and the royal families of the Three Kingdoms have been reminded. After the discussion, the emperors of the Three Kingdoms decided to restart the imperial court to walk the world.
However, walking in the imperial court is naturally different from walking in the Jianghu world. Since the Three Kingdoms are an alliance, there must be a leader. This time, the meeting of the Three Kingdoms Alliance is to compete for the leadership of the Tianxia. In addition, there are a series of interest issues.
Emperor Xia attaches great importance to the Three Kingdoms Alliance this time. Apart from these, it is also for the sake of shame.
Originally, the Three Kingdoms Alliance had an advantage when it was the turn of any country, but the alliance meeting held in Xia Guo three years ago made Xia Guo lose face.
At the alliance meeting three years ago, the leader of Xia Kingdom was the prince consort of the dynasty, and he was also a rare young talent. Emperor Xia placed high hopes on him. He was so fascinated that he revealed all his plans, which not only caused Xia Guo to lose a lot of talents, but also suffered a complete defeat and became a laughing stock.
If it weren't for the help of the eldest princess and a series of courtiers, Emperor Xia would have killed the son-in-law directly. Later, because too many people pleaded for mercy, he just ordered the princess to reconcile with him, expelled him from the capital, and never again. Hired the imperial court.
However, after that, Emperor Xia has been brooding all the time, always wanting to win once and for all, but lost twice in a row. The emperor had already planned to ask Gu Qingci to resign, but he didn't expect Gu Qingci to think of resigning, which caught him by surprise.
…
The spring breeze helps to go upstairs, Chang'an has a few flowers to worry about!
In the midst of spring, on the streets of Chang'an City, there was a young man in white walking slowly, without a speck of dust on his body, with a peaceful and gentle expression. Beside him was a young man in green clothes, with a long sword on his back, looking at him. A little rough, but only few people can understand the pride in the deepest part of his eyebrows.
The two of them were walking on the crowded streets of Chang'an, and there were clearly crowds of heads in front of them, but Gu Qingci only saw the historical towers of Chang'an City that had gone through thousands of years of wind and frost. no.
"Brother," Liu Yiqing said: "Your affairs here are almost done. I may return to the mountain gate in two days. This time I may have to retreat for a long time."
"Retreat again?" Gu Qingci asked doubtfully, "Didn't you just retreat for three years?"
Liu Yiqing shook his head, and said: "The Battle of Wangjing, my swordsmanship is about to break through, but I'm stuck and can't break through. I have no choice but to go back to retreat."
Gu Qingci was about to say something, but stopped, looking at the opposite bridge, there appeared an old man, as if floating out of the world, slowly walking towards him, although he was in the world of mortals, he seemed like a phantom Same, only the taste of this city, but not this person.
The spring in Chang'an City is always inseparable from a little drizzle, and it came quite suddenly. After a few thunderclaps, the rain fell overwhelmingly, and then rendered the whole city hazy. Just now there were so many pedestrians, Now they all fled away, only three people stood quietly in the rain.
It was a bridge. Under the bridge, the river water rippled in circles. The willow branches on both sides of the bridge floated in the water. head, looking at each other from afar.
In the silence, Gu Qingci slowly held up an oil-paper umbrella. Although he is an innate martial artist now, he can completely avoid dripping on his body, but he still likes to hold an umbrella. He took a step forward slowly, looking at the The old man said, "You are not my opponent!"
That old man is Yi Bo, the old housekeeper of the Ma family.
Gu Qingci did not expect that this old man would still be in the capital. Ever since Ma Dongyang was imprisoned, the Ma family collapsed overnight.
After all, this is the background of the big family. Even if they lose, they live better than many ordinary people. The emperor just arrested Ma Dongyang and Ma Zhibai, and did not confiscate the family. If he wanted to fight with Gu Qingci, Ma Dongyang lost.
Gu Qingci thought that everyone in the Ma family had left, but he didn't expect to be blocked by this old man again today. He remembered that everyone in the Ma family called this old man Yibo, and he was a genuine innate second-level martial artist, a great practitioner By!
Yibo was a bit of a vicissitudes, wearing a worn-out padded jacket, he didn't use his true energy to block the rain, he let the heavy rain drench on his body, looking very downcast, slowly raised his head, looked at Gu Qingci, but the shadow of the oil-paper umbrella cast Gu Qing Ci's cheeks were covered, and he couldn't see the emotions on Gu Qingci's face, nor could he see the contemplation in their eyes.
Yi Bo still said slowly: "Young Master Gu, the world is impermanent, who is right and who is wrong, I don't want to say it, and I have no right to say it, and you are an official, this is Chang'an, the law comes first, I will stick to the iron law .”
Liu Yiqing was drinking, he didn't hold an umbrella, he still looked foolish, and said casually: "If that's the case, why do you come to see my elder brother, who doesn't fight, kill or take revenge, is full enough, come to accompany you in the rain? "
Yi Bo calmly said: "Young Master Gu, I am a servant, but I am not a servant of the Ma family, but a servant of the master Ma Dongyang. Now, the master has lost to you. As a servant, I cannot remain indifferent."
Gu Qingci stood quietly and remained silent for a long while. He thought that Yibo would protect the Ma family, but after hearing Yibo's words now, he knew that this old man would not think about those things. He was not loyal to the Ma family, but to the Ma family. one person.
Gu Qingci said slowly: "Then what are you going to do?"
Yibo took a step forward and said: "The rules of the rivers and lakes, the battle of life and death!"
