Chapter 454: The Southern Garden

All the anomalies of Emperor Yuan Jingdi are related to something in the 26th year of Jeongdeok, and they are all related to Jizong Doshu ………..

I guessed correctly that the head of the Earth Sect Dao is the thread that connects all the clues, and that he had nothing to do with what happened back then. In that case, it was clear what and where to investigate next.

The next target to be traced is the royal hunting ground, the South Court!

King Huai as a teenager and Emperor Yuan Jing as a young man were attacked by fierce beasts in the South Garden, the guards were killed and injured, and finally King Huai tore the bear warriors alive to solve the crisis.

This paragraph describes the loophole is too big, the guards of the two emperors, which must have masters, and the number is quite a lot, what bear fighters can kill all the masters in the big house?

The Black Bear?

It didn’t make much sense to me at the time, it just didn’t make a lot of sense to look at that piece of information alone without a back-and-forth thread.

After all, the starting record can be modified, do not rule out the starting Lang or the former emperor in the Huai Wang to create momentum to brag, usurpation of history to force the image of this kind of thing, the royal family has done too much.

Xu Qi’an’s inner thoughts flickered, but his surface gradually collected his shock and turned normal as he looked towards Li Yuchun, “Chief, let’s go, I’ve gotten the answer I wanted.”

Li Yuchun nodded.

The old woman watched the two men step out of the courtyard gate, watched the figures disappear in the doorway, hugged her grandson tightly, and muttered, “When did this group of official dogs have a clear conscience?”

She whirled around to look at her daughter-in-law, and when she saw her staring at the courtyard door, her anger shot straight to her head and she cursed in a shrill voice:

“Little hoof, when you see a handsome man, your legs won’t close. As long as I’m alive, you won’t want to remarry, don’t want to steal a man, and stay a widow until I die.”

…………

After bidding farewell to Li Yuchun, Xu Qi’an mounted his beloved filly and flew back to the Xu Mansion.

He ran back to his room and found Jiro’s book on the bookshelf, the pages of which had been left behind by the late emperor, and the pages fluttered, stopping in the 26th year of Jeanne d’Arc.

The cursive content he couldn’t read, but the date he could barely make out.

“I remember correctly, it was indeed the 26th year of Jeongdeok, the year in which the head of the Earth Sect Dao entered the palace. This year, Ping Yuan Bo formally sent population to the palace. This year, King Huai and Yuan Jing encountered the bear warriors in the South Garden ……….

“Also, the first Emperor’s Book of Risings terminated in the 30th year of Jeanne d’Arc, which means that four years later, the first Emperor died. Well, I haven’t read the history books, ask the schoolboys.”

Xu Qi’an sat down behind the desk and took out the fragment of the earth book, he was just about to transmit the book when his fingers lurched and changed to a private chat, his spiritual power hooking up with the first fragment of the earth book.

Number One ignored him and gave him a “slap”.

Xu Qi’an persistently initiated a private chat, and when Number One saw this, he didn’t reject it anymore and accepted his transmission: [What is it].

[III: When did the late emperor binten.]

[I: Jeanne d’Arc for 30 years, why do you ask.]

[3: Of course it is related to the investigation of the case, I still have some things to ask, tell me the specifics of the Southern Garden, the more detailed the better. Especially the situation in the 26th year of Jeanne d’Arc. Also, how was the late Emperor’s health when he was alive. Did he have any hidden illnesses? What was the cause of his death?

[1: Nanyuan is the royal hunting ground, in the southern city of Beijing suburbs, a circle of two hundred and sixty miles. There were four rows of palaces, named after the four gates of the south-east, north-west and west, and the South Court was a forbidden court, which was hardly lived in, not cultivated, and only managed by the sea households.]

Haido? Hey, specializing in fish farming? Then I, the sea king, am also a sea household ……….. Xu Qi’an gave a heave and transmitted the message:

[III: What is a Haido?]

[I: A puritan who can’t be tolerated in the palace.]

Xu Qi’an clamped his legs together, “………”

[I: As for Jeanne d’Arc’s 26 years, I’m not sure, or at least I can’t answer you right now.]

Pausing for a few seconds, No. 1 passes on the message: [A year before the late Emperor Bintian, his health was already in bad shape, and he insisted on dying a year later from his illness. In terms of hidden illnesses, I need to check the dossier to answer you].

[3: I’ll leave this matter to you, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. I’ve found out some clues on my side, but I’m not completely sure yet, so I’ll have to wait for your feedback.]

With Wyking’s exuberant curiosity, she would surely do her best to fully task and then get the case progress from herself.

That’s the good thing about Wycking, if you switch to framing, you forget everything when you take a look at the small talk book.

……….

Of the three northeastern states, the Jing State was in the far north, right next to the territory of the northern demon race. The Yan Country was in the center, directly facing the three states of the Great Feng. The Kang Kingdom, on the other hand, was to the south, a country neighboring the sea.

Each of the three countries has its own characteristics, Jingguo’s iron horsemen are valiant, after the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the northern barbarians fell from the throne of the first iron horsemen in Kyushu, and Jingguo went along with the trend to ask for the supremacy.

The territory of the Yan Kingdom is dotted with dangerous peaks and mountains, and most of the important cities are built on easily defensible and difficult to attack places, relying on the geographical advantage to defend, as stable as Mount Taishan.

In addition, the inhabitants of the Yan State make a living by hunting and are good at archery.

In addition to occupying the geographical advantage, the Yan Kingdom also had an ace army, which was the Flying Beast Army.

Geography of the Kyushu region – East Jing: East Tongshan more Cangyu. There is a wood, its shape is like Yang and red, its juice is like blood, its name is Panicum. This is what the dogs eat.

The tiki dog is a foreign beast with a three-meter spread, a dog’s head and a rat’s tail, and a daily flight of 500 miles.

Dongtong Mountain is right in the middle of the Yan Kingdom, and like the Feather Spiders of the Kaneki Division, the Yan Kingdom has the Air Force.

On the downside, the Tic Dogs are even more scarce than the Fire Armor Army and are generally used as killers.

The border of the Yan Kingdom, Ding Guan City.

As a large city on the border, Ding Guan City had sufficient troops, supplies, and armaments that were more than enough to defend against an attack by the Da Bong’s army, and if the Witch God Cult wanted to stop the army from attacking the Central Plains, Ding Guan City could do so quickly because it was itself in a state of readiness to fight.

Two days ago, Ding Guan City entered a state of maximum alert, forbidding merchants from both countries to enter or leave, and forbidding civilians to enter or leave, with the army in the city patrolling all night long, and scouts outside the city constantly sending back secret messages.

The Da Bong army is coming!

After so many years of peace on the northeastern border, the war is finally about to restart.

Wearing bright armor and a curved sword at his waist, Baldur Black, surrounded by his subordinates such as his vice general, ascended to the top of Ding Guan City, a distant and extremely far away plain.

He is the Commander of Ding Guan City, the highest leader of the military.

The sun rises, into the fall, the verdant green hills more than a touch of Xu bleak yellow.

“It is said that Wei Yuan is the Great Bong Military God, this general has always wondered if that Wei Yuan can eat my Yan Kingdom’s solidly fortified Ding Guan City.” Bald Good Black faintly said.

He was a young strong man in the Yan Kingdom’s army, and back then, during the Battle of Shanhaiguan, he was still just a bottom-level officer in charge of staying behind to defend the country.

For Wei Yuan, it’s been known for a long time.

“There should be no one who can outperform Wei Yuan in strategizing on the battlefield. Even Xiahou Yushu, in my opinion, is much worse than Wei Yuan.” The bearded Vice General let out a sigh of emotion, followed by a cold smile:

“But fighting between two armies is not the same thing as attacking and defending a city, General, if you can make Wei Yuan fold at Ding Guan City, you will become a hot figure in Kyushu.”

Since ancient times, war is difficult, and attacking the city is the most difficult, often need to invest ten times, or even a dozen times the force. If you encounter some cities and ponds ……… that occupy geographical advantages, even the most powerful generals will have a headache and be deterred.

A hard nibble could even turn the tide of a war.

History is full of similar examples.

Baldur Black smiled and said slowly, “Do not be careless.”

His heart is on fire, he is not confident that he can win Wei Yuan in the battle between the two armies, but defending the city is his strong point. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten Yan Jun’s reliance and become the commander of the border.

Ding Guan City left neighboring Tao Tao river, right according to the steep mountain peaks, solid as a golden soup, in order to enhance the geographical advantage, bald good black sent people into the mountain chiseling stone, took two years, in addition to marching the main road, the city wall on both sides of the jagged rocks.

Siege wagons and ladders will never get close, and if you bother to clear them, you’re a living target.

“Ow ………”

A deep and majestic growl came from the distant sky, and the generals and soldiers at the city’s head immediately heard that it was the barking of a tic dog.

Following the sound, a black shadow flew from a distant place, gradually becoming clearer, it was a tiki dog serving.

The flying beast with a dog’s head and a rat’s tail landed on the spacious horse path, closing its wings, its scarlet ferocious eyes frozen, looking ahead like a human soldier standing guard.

A sturdy leather harness was wrapped around the tigress and attached to the scout on his back, who unfastened the “harness” around his thighs and waist, leapt off the bird’s back, and hurried over to Baldur Black, clasping his fists:

“Great General, the Da Feng army is only twenty miles from Ding Guan City.”

The faces of the people at the city’s head were suddenly solemn.

Bald good black pondered for a moment, said: “Pass my handwriting: I am Ding Guan City guards bald good black, long heard of your great name, but in my eyes, but is a deceitful eunuch ………..”

The staffer quickly spread out the paper, pen and ink, and scribbled.

There is no other content in the handwritten book of Bald Goodwill Black, the whole book is abusing Wei Yuan, scolding him for winning the Battle of Shanhaiguan is luck, scolding him for deceiving the world, scolding him for being a neuter eunuch, and even scolding his ancestor into it.

Call it as hard as you want and write as viciously as you want.

In the end, he proposed to compete with Wei Yuan, to make the Da Bong military god fold, translated into the vernacular is: If you have the guts to come up ah.

The staffer finished writing, blew the ink dry, and laughed, “The Great General’s plan is to provoke Wei Yuan?”

Baldur Black nodded, “Just one of the purposes.”

The curator asked with a false sense of humor, “There are other purposes?”

The bald black arrogantly sneered, “I just want to insult this eunuch.”

There was a roar of laughter from the city, and the seriousness faded quite a bit.

Bald Good Black added: “With Wei Yuan’s caliber, I’m afraid it’s not that easy to provoke, so every quarter of an hour, we’ll curse once. We all curse together, there are many people with many words.”

The Vice General laughed, “It’s a quick thing to be able to humiliate the Great Bong Military God.”

There was more laughter from the town hall.

…………

Capital.

In the Eastern Palace, Lin An was playing five pieces chess with her Crown Prince brother, who was a little impatient but held his tongue to keep her company. For a pampered and beautiful sibling, there was almost no brother who would not favor her.

“No more games no more ……..”

Lin An dropped the chess pieces negatively and grumbled with puffed cheeks, “Absent-minded, Crown Prince Brother doesn’t want to accompany me at all.”

Is it that the talking books don’t smell good anymore, or the shuttlecock isn’t fun anymore, or maybe Huaiqing hasn’t been obnoxious enough lately? The crown prince muttered in his heart, helpless:

“Lin An, this palace is busy with affairs, how can I have time to play such boring tricks with you.”

Lin An’s little brows furrowed, “What’s the point of letting the underlings play with you, I want to play with the crown prince’s brother.”

How can a palace maid and eunuch playing with her be better than the company of a loved one.

Lin’an was the crown prince’s follower when she was a child, wearing a small skirt, a short little one, where the crown prince ran to, she followed to where. Growing up a little more, she was encouraged by Princess Chen to find trouble with Huaiqing.

At this time, the eunuch came to the door with small steps and said in a thin voice, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Huaiqing is here.”

The siblings glanced at each other, and the crown prince muttered, “What is she doing in the Eastern Palace.”

At that moment, he let the crown prince guide Huaiqing in, and in a few moments, Huaiqing, who wore a plain-colored palace dress and had stunningly beautiful and picturesque features, crossed the threshold and bowed towards the crown prince, then glanced at Lin’an.

“Huaiqing, what is it that you are looking for this palace?”

In a nonchalant tone, the Prince asked.

Huaiqing let out a light smile, “I heard that the crown prince has Yan Painting Sage’s Autumn Hunting Diagram here, the autumn hunting is imminent, this palace suddenly has the elegant pleasure, and wants to bring it back to copy.”

The Crown Prince hesitated and said, “The Palace will send someone to you later.”

While everyone’s mothers are tearing up the harem in a frenzy, plastic sibling love still needs to be preserved.

To fall hunting ah ……… framed eyes bright, joyful: “Prince brother, we go to the South Garden hunting it.”

The Crown Prince sniffed, frowned and shook his head, “What’s the point of going to the Southern Garden for a good reason, it’s a long way.”

The frame kept twisting the waist, pampered: “Not far at all, not far at all, ride a horse to go just fine. Prince brother, take me.”

The Crown Prince couldn’t stand her this way the most, but he also ate her this way the most, just like Emperor Yuan Jing did. Helplessly, he said, “Alright, alright, I’ll make some arrangements today and go first thing in the morning.”

He had business on his hands, and took the opportunity to send Linan and Huaiqing away.

Autumn hunting is a big event, since the Yuan Jing Emperor is addicted to monasticism, it is rarely held in the autumn hunting, in previous years, the royal sons and daughters will go to the South Garden hunting on their own, only need to report.

For Linian, hunting was the most fun, and it had nothing to do with whether or not she could shoot a bow.

Just like Xu Qi’an’s previous life, some girls were addicted to playing games, and it had nothing to do with them being rookies.

After Lin An returned to his residence, a small palace maid immediately came forward to report, saying, “Your Highness, just now Princess Huaiqing came to see you.”

Huaiqing is looking for me? Then why didn’t she say half a word to me in the Eastern Palace just now? Lin An blinked her eyes and made a bewildered little expression.

Oops, no matter, first read the book, tomorrow go to the South Garden hunting ………

…………

Late Night.

Sleeping Xu Qi’an, he felt that his brain had been knocked by someone, which belonged to the feedback from the Yuan Shen aspect, and was not really being knocked on the head.

The only people in the room who could knock him on the head were one man and a knife, and Zhong Li was usually gently legging it and shouting at him in a thin voice.

If you use a flat knife, you’ll be poking him with the tip of the knife, not so gently.

Yuan Shen level feedback, someone approached me for a private chat ……… Xu Qi An half squinted his eyes, reached out and drew out the fragment of the book of the earth, and the next thing he knew was who had approached him for a private chat.

Number one, Wyoming.

After accepting Huaiqing’s private chat request, he sent a message, [Why are you sending a message in the middle of the night, doesn’t your Excellency have a xing life].

………

PS: Sorry for the late update, DaBong Dragman expressed his shame and guilt, and will write another big chapter tomorrow morning to make up for it.
