A family reunion in Shangdu(1/2)

The eighth year was the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, January, and the rainy moon was late.

After Nangong Xuanwu traveled through time, the time he stayed at was still the time he traveled through time, the last decades of the Tang Dynasty.

Shangdu City, the city is extremely clean and tidy. The streets are made of cobblestones and fine sand at the bottom of the sea. On both sides, colorful coral trees in the South China Sea, more than meter high, and strange flowers and plants from all over the country.

The colorful coral trees in the South China Sea, five colors: sky blue, sky blue, fruit green, indigo, and silver white.

The houses are scattered and are built with strange underwater trees such as white jade and green teak, and are inlaid with crystal windows. The styles are varied, either pavilions, flowing eaves or round tiles. Although the differences are very different, they look quite harmonious.

Begonia trees are planted around the houses, and jasper begonia flowers are planted in the courtyards.

Because of the special geographical location of the capital on Crescent Island, during the Han Dynasty, due to the continuous wars during the Three Kingdoms period, many people migrated to Shangdu City, with many skilled craftsmen. Therefore, the buildings in Shangdu City were renovated in the past and the past were surprisingly renovated.

Moreover, in recent years, under the management of the Nangong family, Shangdu City has always managed the system, tolerant and honest, and embraces all rivers. Therefore, the buildings in Shangdu City have become more diverse and magnificent.

Finally, this island city with a radius of dozens of miles became a large capital with all the buildings in China, miniature and gathering.

…………………………………………………

During the last decades of the Tang Dynasty, after the previous decade of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty declined day by day.

The Emperor of Tang was revived - Emperor Xianzong of Tang and the young talented prime minister of the country - Shi Jianwu, led a group of civil officials and military generals to work hard again to rule, creating a dynasty for decades for the Tang Dynasty.

The successor of later generations, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, fell into turmoil again due to the abandonment of government affairs.

At this time, Shi Jianwu was already old. In his later years, Shi Jianwu was already old and weak, so he resigned from the Chang'an court as Prime Minister.

Shi Jianwu, the old former prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, returned to Jiangnan City of the Eastern Wu Kingdom. He could not bear to see his tribe suffer the upcoming war disaster and turbulent massacre, so he brought a group of tribes to Shangdu City on Crescent Island and began to avoid the upcoming war disaster and slaughter of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

On this day, Shi Jianwu, the old former prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, led a group of people, including Nangong Xuanwu and the young Mrs. Yue, walking all the way on the streets of Shangdu City.

In front of you, the scenery of Shangdu City that you saw opened your eyes to the people led by Shi Jianwu, Jiangnan City, the Eastern Wu Kingdom.

In particular, the colorful coral trees in the South China Sea have five colors: sky blue, sky blue, fruit green, indigo, and silver white.

Surrounded by short colorful coral trees, the tall crabapple trees are covered with jasper crabapple flowers.

The blue sky contrasts with the white building, and the exquisite crystal windows shine with dazzling light in the sun.

…………………………………………………

With the attendants assigned by Nangong Chenyu Young City Lord, a group of people walked behind in a mighty manner. The city was filled with people who were welcomed by the streets. Their clothes were different, colorful, and their joy was beyond words.

In this way, after a while, the group came to the corner of Shangdu City.

Several city lords and servants in Shangdu City were led by two leaders, and the two leaders asked several servants to settle Shi Jianwu's tribe members in Jiangnan City.

These two team leaders came to the "Lingyan Pavilion" with the elderly Shi Jianwu, the young Nangong Xuanwu, and the young Mrs. Yue.

The "Lingyan Pavilion" in Shangdu City is where Shangdu City receives guests. It is also the place where Emperor Li Shimin, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, who founded the Zhenguan rule in the Tang Dynasty, landed in the Zhongdu Mountains and worshiped the sky.

"Lingyan Pavilion" is located in the corner of Shangdu City, which is the only corner near the coast of the South China Sea.

Shi Jianwu, Nangong Xuanwu, young lady Yue, one old and one young and one woman, the three of them came to "Lingyan Pavilion".

Under the "Lingyan Pavilion", the three of them looked up and saw that above the huge rocks, huge rocks were hanging in the air, and they poked dozens of feet out towards the coast of the South China Sea.

Because Shangdu City was built on Crescent Island, and Crescent Island is surrounded by the South China Sea on all sides. Both are Crescent Island and the largest island in China, so Shangdu City has a corner close to the South China Sea.

After a while, the three of them climbed up. The towers of the "Lingyan Pavilion" were all made of crystal and agarwood, like transparent square boxes, exquisite and exotic, and fragrant.

The two team leaders representing the young city lord took their leave after they settled down the three of them.

…………………………………………………

On this day, at dusk, the elderly Shi Jianwu and the young Mrs. Yue arrived at the destination of Shangdu City due to the days of traveling.

Once the tense mood has been relaxed for days, the feeling of sleepiness will immediately surge into my heart.

At that moment, they went back to their rooms, ate some seafood, fruits and vegetables, and after taking a shower, they all rested early.

Nangong Xuanwu was left alone. After all, the journey of the Sichuan plain was not a problem for a young man with profound practice like him.

At this time, Nangong Xuanwu's room happened to face the sea in the south. He opened the crystal window. The sun was bright and the cool breeze was refreshing. There was a cluster of colorful coral trees below. People in the capital were called Coral Beach.

At this moment, outside the window, the golden light of the evening sun shines thousands of feet, scattering on the coral beach. The golden sand beach is surrounded by winding, and the blue waves on the coast of the South China Sea are beating on the coral beach one by one.

At this moment, Nangong Xuanwu looked out from the window. After a long time, he was reluctant to take a shower and rest.

At midnight, Nangong Xuanwu was lying on the bed, excited and tossing and turning, his mind was full of the map of the bridge of the natural chasm that the leader sent by the young city lord today said.

The picture of the natural chassis bridge that can span the Baili Strait and runs from Nanyue Guotong to Shangdu City. What does this picture look like?

In the past, during the Tang Dynasty and Zhenguan period, Zhang Guolao drew this picture of the natural chasing bridge in the seven islands and reefs in Penghu Bay. Where is this picture hidden now?

The young man Nangong Xuanwu thought for a long time before he fell asleep unconsciously.

When it arrived, the next day, Nangong Xuanwu woke up. It was early morning and it was time to come.

The young Mrs. Yue and the elderly Shi Jianwu were already waiting in the lobby of "Lingyan Pavilion".

At this time, the messenger of the young city lord Nangong Chenyu came to the lobby and invited Nangong Xuanwu, Shi Jianwu, and the young lady Yue to go to Mingyue Tower to meet Nangong Chenyu, the lord of Shangdu City.

It was because Nangong Chenyu was recuperating in Mingyue Tower, and because of his serious injuries, it was really inconvenient to walk.

…………………………………………………

Along the way, led by Nangong Chenyu's messenger, the three of them passed a pebbled path, with crabapple trees on both sides and a piece of jasper crabapple flowers connected by jasper crabapple flowers.

After a while, Nangong Xuanwu, Shi Jianwu, and the young Mrs. Yue, came to a quaint Mingyue building. I thought this was the resting place for the Lord of Nangong City. It looked quite ordinary, and it was even far less magnificent than some houses.

The three of them never thought that the place where the city lord of the capital was so simple.

At the gate, the two guards saw that it was Shi Jianwu, the old former prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and quickly opened the door and entered the room to report.

The three of them, led by Nangong Chenyu's messenger, watched while walking in.

The inner courtyard is more simple, with four courtyards connected together, and several crabapples were planted in the courtyard, and the cicadas were heard in a dense voice.

The three of them followed the messenger and opened the door to the hall and entered the reception hall.

The reception hall is particularly different. The space is so large that it occupies almost half of the Mingyue Building. The sunlight shines in through the crystal window, and golden light shines.

This is also in line with the manners of the people in the South Vietnamese Kingdom and Shangdu City. No matter how simple you live, you must be generous to your guests.

…………………………………………………

The next day, at the Si time, approaching noon, in Mingyue Tower, the reception hall.

Nangong Xuanwu, who was at the farthest end of the reception room, saw that in front of the reception hall, his young father was sitting upright.

The young young city lord Nangong Chenyu is burly, handsome and arrogant.

However, his face looked a little depressed because of his serious injury.

At this time, the young city lord Nangong Chenyu also noticed the young man Nangong Xuanwu at the far end of the reception hall.

The young Nangong Chenyu smiled and said, "I dare to ask, what's your name for the young man over there? Why does it look a little similar to when I was a child?"

The young Nangong Xuanwu said calmly: "Young City Lord, you call me Xuanwu. There are so many similar people in the world. This should be a coincidence."

The young Nangong Chenyu smiled, nodded, and said, "Young man, that's right. If my child can be like you in the future, it would be great."

Suddenly, after hearing this, Nangong Xuanwu looked at his expression, a smile that was extremely difficult to detect.

Afterwards, the young Nangong Xuanwu hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not, the young city lord praises me. I have been admired by the city lord for a long time. Today, I have been able to pay my respects to you. I have been lucky in my three lives."

The young Nangong Chenyu said again: "It is rare for a little boy to have such a demeanor. How dare you ask whose child he is?"

The young Nangong Xuanwu smiled slightly and said, "Can you let me buy a little secret with the young city lord and wait for a certain year in the future. The young city lord will naturally know."

The young Nangong Chenyu looked at the young man in front of him with a bright look, and couldn't help but smile. This smile touched the body's injuries, and then he endured the pain and sighed and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have been born in teenagers. The ancient saying is true. The city lord is looking forward to meeting your parents in the future."

The young Nangong Chenyu and the young Nangong Xuanwu, the future father and son, talked happily in the living room of Mingyue Tower for a long time.

Until noon, the elderly Shi Jianwu, the young Mrs. Yue, the young city lord Nangong Chenyu, and the young Nangong Xuanwu gathered together in Mingyue Tower for lunch.

In this life, if not, the Shenlong of the South China Sea brought Nangong Xuanwu to the land of Shenzhou, during the Spring and Autumn Period, and then, Nangong Xuanwu had been waiting on Crescent Island for more than a thousand years until he waited for this family to reunite lunch.

And the real name of the mother, Mrs. Yue, has become a regret for Nangong Xuanwu that he has never been able to draw in circles for thousands of years!

…………………………………………………

In Shangdu City, several months have passed, and the injuries of the young city lord Nangong Chenyu have basically been cured.

On this day, on August 15th, the moon is full in the capital.

On the Crescent Island of China, on August 15th, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival of China. The young city lord Nangong Chenyu, as usual, needs to participate in the bonfire party held by Shangdu City on the Coral Beach.

At the corner of Shangdu City, there is a place near the coast of the South China Sea. Outside that corner is Coral Beach, and not far from Coral Beach is "Lingyan Pavilion".

In the past, during the Tang Dynasty and the Zhenguan period, the wise ruler of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, when he worshiped the heaven and earth in the Zhongdu Mountains of Crescent Island, he also replicated the twenty-four heroes of the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City in the "Lingyan Pavilion" in Shangdu City.

Their respective are:

Duke Zhao——Changsun Wuji.

Zhao Gong Changsun Wuji was the first, and he was the brother of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. He was a friend of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin since childhood, and was born and died together, conquering the Li Tang Dynasty.

Prince of Hejian - Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian, was the second. He was the old minister of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin and his father, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Li Yuan. He also made great military achievements in order to conquer the Li Tang Dynasty.

Lai Gong——Du Ruhui
