Chapter 25 The South China Sea
Late at night, Yu Zhan invited Chang Yu to watch the stars and divine the fortune of Nanhai City.
The courses taught in Si Tianjian are all about observing the fortune of a country, or someone's fortune at a certain time. If it is called measuring a city, there really is no corresponding provision.
However, Chang Yu is no longer the Chang Yu he used to be, and the essence of "Zi Yi Shi Fang Lun" is not comparable to any classic in Yingtian Cave. When he heard this proposition, the first thought that came to his mind was "Four Jiao Ba"
Extreme Theory".
"The Theory of Four Corners and Eight Extremes" talks about the method of responding to the stars in the city-state.
Take Zhongxuan as an example. There are Huangshi Mountain and Goutu Mountain in the east, Xiaoyao Pond in the west, rolling hills in the south, and a river across the north. Four earth dragons are lying or walking, shrouding Zhongxuan with the aura of the emperor.
In the city.
"The Theory of Four Corners and Eight Extremes" deals with the complex changes in the stars and the vertical and horizontal trends of the earth's veins throughout the text. The larger ones can predict the changes of dynasties, while the smaller ones can predict the twilight drums and morning bells. Nowadays, we can't clearly see the underground trends of Nanhai City. If we insist on calculating, we can only find out
Perform accurate divination on the corresponding celestial stars.
Chang Yu asked Yu Zhan, "I wonder what kind of fate General Yu wants to test for Nanhai City? Is it a military war?"
"Brother Chang is indeed very clear. We intend to capture Nanhai City, but we just don't know when and where the good opportunity will be."
Without being verbose, Chang Yu unfolded the golden ten-point instrument and measured the sky. After nearly half an hour, he explained the hexagrams to the people who had been waiting for a long time.
"Nanhai City may be difficult to capture easily!"
As soon as he said this sentence, everyone's brows were furrowed.
"The hexagram obtained by observing the stars has the sign of 'rock torrent', and the fortune is as shown in the hexagram. No matter how the 'torrent' impacts, the 'rock' remains firm, and Nanhai City is estimated to be relatively strong in thirty years."
Chang Yu changed the topic: "Although it cannot be taken by force, there is a sign of 'working together in the same boat', which should be a sign of a covenant. This hexagram comes after the 'torrent rock', or it may take the moment of the 'torrent' to appear before we can have a 'togetherness'"
The possibility of economic success.”
Yu Zhan frowned and thought nervously, then relaxed after a moment.
With my current strength, it will be very difficult to capture Nanhai City. Even if the lord is willing to send sea reinforcements southward, it will be difficult for the guest to defeat the lord. Even with this hexagram, no matter whether it works or not, I finally have an excuse that can stop the mouths of the main war faction.
, I still have to put obstacles first and just wait for the opportunity.
The plan was decided, and Yu Zhan said to Chang Yu: "Brother Chang Yu is really a national scholar. No wonder he is favored by the prince. The golden ten-meter instrument has finally found its rightful owner!"
Chang Yu's heart trembled, and an inexplicable flame of revenge flashed.
Yu Zhan then asked: "I just don't know what the 'rapid' in the hexagram is about. Why is Nanhai City in the 'rapid'?"
"It's like this. The same teacher of mine has observed that June 12th this year is a day of great misfortune that rarely occurs in a hundred years. The misfortune will last for a long time, and it is difficult to determine how long it will last. It seems that there is room for intervention, and it is impossible to say whether man can defeat nature.
"
"Oh, how about a great evil method?"
"My skills are not yet mature, so I can't figure out what kind of disaster it is, but the area is in northern Xinjiang, and it seems to have a great relationship with Prince Jing!"
"If this is really the case, I will send a message as a flying pigeon to warn the lord."
Qin Wushang had been watching coldly from the sidelines. Seeing that Yu Zhan seemed to believe Chang Yu's divination, he couldn't help but feel itchy. He hesitated for a long time before putting down his airs.
"I wonder if Brother Chang can test people?"
Seeing that it was Qin Wushang who asked the question, Chang Yu was surprised at first, and then nodded solemnly.
"Can you please test someone's fortune for me?"
Chang Yu thought he was going to test Qin's hairpin's fortune. He had already observed it more than a dozen times, and he could tell the hexagrams casually, so he pretended to be pretentious and asked, "Do you have the birth date of this person?"
Qin Wushang reported his horoscope, but it was not Qin's hairpin, so Chang Yu helped him test it out of curiosity.
"The lord of the life is 'Hua Yang Er Zhe', which seems to be..."
"It's okay to just say it."
"It seems that he is destined to die young, but looking at his fortune now, if he can take advantage of the situation to do great good, he may be able to change his destiny..."
Qin Wushang couldn't help but sneer: "No, no, no, Qin knows this is enough, there is no need to say anything else!"
Seeing the angry and vicious look on his face, Chang Yu guessed that he was predicting the fate of his enemy. Thinking of Qin Hairpin's "mirror flower and moon", he couldn't help but feel sad.
Could it be that the love I forged with her in the Yellowstone Mountains was just a mirror image?
After a few days of nothing, Qin Wushang was about to recover from his internal injuries, so he was about to prepare to set off by sea to go north to Muleo City.
Qin Hao naturally wanted to leave with her father, but she refused to see Chang Yu, even Zhu Shenghuai Bi ignored him.
Chang Yulai was suffering extremely hard here. He felt like everyone in the camp was laughing at him, but if he really mustered up the courage to leave, he would never be able to do it.
Looking at the days, the meeting with Wang Yinran in May in May in Turtle City is approaching. If he stays any longer, it will definitely be too late to take the overland route. So he just stays idle until the end, trying to see Prince Jing inside and outside, so he just follows
Qin Wushang was on the boat, could they still push him into the sea?
The wishful thinking was loud and clear, but this morning I suddenly received a note from someone who asked for it.
We are going back to Zhongxuan. If you are interested, follow us.
It turned out that Qin Hao wanted to go back to Zhongxuan to visit Zhou Rou's grave, but she didn't need to go to Mulie City, so she pleaded with her father.
Qin Wushang was reluctant at first, but later Yu Zhan agreed to send someone to escort him along the way. Qin Hao also promised to go north immediately after paying homage to Zhou Rou. He would be careful in everything, so Qin Wushang agreed.
Chang Yu ran to Qin Han's residence. He had already left early in the morning. After saying goodbye to Yu Zhan and going back to the house to pack his things, it was already midnight when he left.
He hurried out of the camp gate and was wondering whether Qin Han and the others were riding horses or riding in a carriage when he saw Kuai Da waiting impatiently with two horses on the mountain road, talking to Chang Yu.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you still want to chase girls at your pace. You are so far behind what I was back then!"
It turned out that everyone was teasing him. Chang Yu couldn't laugh or cry, ignored Kuai Da, jumped on his horse and galloped with his whip.
Unexpectedly, after running out for a whole day, he didn't even see the shadow of Qin Hao and the others. He was indeed taking the official road leading to Zhong Xuan. Could it be that they were also in a hurry?
I got up early the next day and drove all day long, but still couldn't catch up. No matter how fast the three girls and the ten guards were, they couldn't get anywhere, so there was only one possibility. Qin Hao deliberately took a detour to avoid him.
.
Thinking of this, Chang Yu's heart became cold again, and various thoughts came to him.
Kuai Da was impatient and scolded Chang Yu all the way, saying how he understood women's hearts and how he coaxed women. He was such a stinky bastard and wanted to save face and suffer the consequences. He asked him why he couldn't lose his face and kept his humiliation in a low voice. He always obeyed and obeyed.
Chang Yu was tired of coaxing Qin Hao and stopped suddenly in front of a fork in the road sign.
"The left side is Zhongxuan. I won't accompany you. I want to take the right route back to my hometown to visit my parents and brothers."
"What, this is too annoying for the Sajia? How can you be so immodest at such a young age? The Sajia is not doing it for you two. Why don't you go back to Zhongxuan? The Sajia promised Xiao Zhusheng to escort you back!"
"The sound of bamboo tells you to escort me?"
Kuai Da spilled the beans and stammered twice but no longer tried to hide it. "What's the matter? You've made a mistake and you still blame others. Xiao Zhu's voice is asking me to escort you, and also asking me to watch you and don't mess around with others!"
Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "So you knew they were taking a detour, but you still pushed me to pursue them?"
"Yes, how can I ask Qin Hao to calm down if I don't tire you out?"
Chang Yu shook his head. He wanted to shake off the boredom but couldn't. He sighed and said: "I really want to go home to visit my relatives. I haven't entered my house for two years. If you want to come, I will entertain you with good wine and good food. I want to
If you don’t want to come, please don’t worry. After I go home and stay for a few days, I will go to Zhongxuan to apologize.”
Kuai Da looked at the fork in the road and hesitated for a long time. After all, he missed his mother-in-law so much. "You are a scholar, you must keep your word, you can't deceive me!"
"I won't lie to you, Zhong Xuan still has my family property!"
Kuai Da laughed and clasped his fists on the horse. "Okay, if Xiao Zhusheng asks, don't tell me that I let you go. After you get to Zhongxuan, go to Dongshi to find me first. Remember!"
Chang Yu's hometown is in the Zhengzhou Mountains, five hundred miles south of Zhongxuan.
Here, the hills step on the Qingjiang River, the clear water embraces the steep ridges, and there are seven mountains, two rivers and one farmland. The people have relied on the mountains and the mountains and the water for generations, and they have built circles of fertile terraces on the barren land.
Various kinds of fat fish are raised among the rice that crops twice a year, bamboos are planted in the mountains to grow tea, and crabs and ducks are raised in the rivers. In ancient times, culture and business were valued, and many emperors and merchants came out of this mountain.
Although Chang Yu did not return to his hometown in fine clothes, he also took the empty title of Si Tianjian trainee from the ninth grade candidate. He was considered to be a prominent member of a family that has been farming for generations. Therefore, when he entered the village, he was personally greeted by the mayor of the township.
Beating gongs and drums all the way to the village.
In front of the old whitewashed wall on the hillside, the father and mother looked surprised and didn't know how to entertain the mayor. However, Chang Yu's eldest brother did some small business and had seen the world. He hurriedly invited the mayor into the house and killed the chicken and beat him.
liquor.
All the prominent people in the neighborhood came to join in the fun, and the Chang family spent a lot of money on a meal. They drank the wine until the sun went down, and then they sent away all the gods. The family was tired for a long time, and now they had time to sit around in front of the candle and make love.
Hot reunion.
Chang Yu's parents were both honest people. Eating was the highest priority. They brought out all the delicious food at home. They took a bite of this and stuffed a piece of that into their stomachs, but they enjoyed it.
My mother cared about her son, asked about his food, clothing, and health, and blamed him for cutting his hair so short.
How could Chang Yu dare to tell them about how he was almost scalded to death at the bottom of Huangshi Mountain? He only said it was Si Tianjian's rules.
Speaking of Si Tianjian, the eldest brother Chang Fu asked: "When you left the year before last, didn't you say you would not be able to go home until two and a half to three years? Why did you come back early? Did you fail in your studies?"
Chang Yu blinked and made up a lie: "Si Tianjian has a practice class on sky observation in Baiyue. I just came back from Baiyue." After saying this, he took out two packs of stiff potpourri powder from his bag and handed them to his sister-in-law.
.
Sister-in-law Zhang was so fragrant that she could hardly keep her eyes open: "I heard that there is no peace over there in Baiyue. My brother has not been treated, right?"
Chang Yu replied half-seriously: "Fortunately, there is a classmate who is a big businessman in Baiyue. He has received a lot of care from them, so nothing happened."
He was preoccupied with persuading his family to leave their hometown temporarily and go to Baiyue to escape the disaster, so he first took out a two hundred tael of silver note and spread it on the table.
"Dad, my son received help from noble people when he was in Zhongxuan. He has real estate and some money. These are to honor his father and mother."
Then he spread out another one hundred taels and pushed it to Chang Fu: "This is for my brother and sister-in-law."
Let alone silver notes, the country people have never seen as many as three hundred taels of silver ingots. A table of farmers stared at the two thin pieces of paper with curiosity.
