Chapter 713

In the fifteenth year of Ming Zhongping, the ninth day of April.

The sky was starless and moonless, and the deep night shrouded Jinling City. It seemed that a spring rain was about to fall to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Year name... Zhongping?"

At this moment, Lu Li was sitting in the courtyard thinking about something. He had just obtained some information about the dynasty from his junior brother, and he was surprised.

If you remember correctly, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong also used this year name, and in the year when the Yuan was changed, Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taipingdao, rebelled.

Middle: in the middle, flat: sparse and normal.

Zhongping: Neither good nor bad, neither bad nor bad.

For the emperor and the ministers attached to the emperor, the more auspicious the year name, the better. It entrusts the expectations of those in power to the dynasty.

The choice of Zhongping, to a certain extent, shows that the situation has become corrupted to the point where it cannot be recovered, and almost everyone intends to lie down and let it go.

"This year name is not useful."

"So, compared to the orthodox history, will the Ming Dynasty, which lasted for nearly a hundred years, finally become a thing of the past?"

Looking at a small pond in the courtyard, Lu Li frowned, and murmured in his heart: "It stands to reason that each dynasty would avoid repetition when choosing year names... Thinking about it this way, there must have been some kind of change in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The word Zhongping has never been used as the year name."

Due to his former dandyism, he didn't know exactly what those changes were, but he didn't pay much attention to them either.

After all, he is not an archaeologist, and when everyone came, they were told that this is a specious world, with gods, Buddhas, demons and ghosts, all available, so they should not be taken lightly.

Assistant teacher Bai Xiao even reminded that this exam is extremely difficult, and if you don't pay attention, you will die.

"What is Lang Jun thinking?"

At this time, Danniang came over with a bowl of perch soup, and could smell a fresh fragrance from a distance.

Obviously, the cook was paying attention.

However, the old man didn't have a good meal. Everyone planned to wait for Lu Xu to return home before eating, but when it was time, there was no sign of anyone returning, so Lu Li had to order the back chef to stew the sea bass to prevent it from being spoiled and stale.

"It tastes good."

Taking the soup bowl from Danniang, Lu Li took a sip and sighed, "If it were me going out to watch the night, I wouldn't need Wucheng soldiers and horses running around like this."

At the same time, the junior brother who came to the courtyard to breathe froze, he naturally knew what his senior brother was paying attention to, so he quickly tried to persuade him.

"No!"

"Before leaving, Lord Hou said that the world is not peaceful, and you must strictly guard your house."

"It can be seen from this that the demons who disrupted the order in Jinling this time must not be simple. If we run around, not only will it not be effective, but it will cause trouble for the Wucheng soldiers and horses who are in charge of night patrols and catching robbers."

Wang Zijing argued hard.

Seeing that the senior brother did not express his opinion, he continued:

"Furthermore, there are armored guards outside the mansion, so we will definitely not let us go out."

Looking at the courtyard walls that were around Zhang Xu, Danniang nodded silently. She also didn't want Lu Li to be in danger, so both eyes stared at him, trying to persuade him to leave.

"You guys underestimate me too much."

Frankly speaking, Lu Li never imagined that one day, his strength would be underestimated, and he would still be regarded as a noble son who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

the other side.

Although the two did not speak, their eyes clearly expressed strong distrust.

urgent!

How should I show to outsiders that I am actually a peerless hunk?

Unleash the fighting spirit...

This idea flashed through Lu Li's mind, and was immediately denied. He could do this, because the moment he arrived in this world, a star named Tianshu actively connected with him.

It's just that a blue sky wolf suddenly sprang out in the middle of the night, which would scare Danniang.

If something happens, it's not beautiful.

Moreover, the attitude of people in this world towards the fighting spirit is still uncertain. Therefore, even if one's own status is considered noble, one cannot rashly expose it.

Just as he was thinking, Lu Li saw the weapon rack placed in the courtyard. He reckoned that this should be a tradition inherited from the Tang Dynasty——

A halberd stand is placed in the general's house.

Use the number of iron halberds to show your official rank and grade to outsiders.

In the Ming Dynasty, nobles who made their fortunes by military exploits would place weapon racks in their courtyards to remind future generations not to indulge in wine and sex and forget their roots, and secondly, they could practice a few times at ordinary times.

Don't look at Lu Xu's harmless appearance to humans and animals. He greets everyone with a smile. When he returns to the mansion, especially the backyard, he will change into strong clothes and practice for half an hour with an iron gun.

"That's it."

Under the watchful eyes of Danniang and his younger brother, Lu Li walked to the weapon rack and picked up the long knife placed on the top shelf.

"This knife has a rather strange shape."

In the past, Lu Li had used the Dahan Huan Shou Dao, and had also seen the standard Tang Dao, but this was the first time he saw it, and it looked different from the two:

The root of the blade is straight, and a slight curvature begins to appear when it reaches two-thirds of the position.

"The general Nanzheng is courageous and bold, with autumn water and wild goose feathers on his waist, the wind blows and drums, the mountains and rivers move, and the lightning flashes and the sun and the moon are high."

"There is a kind of unicorn in the sky, how can the ants in the cave escape, and when the edict returns in peace, I will untie the battle robe with my husband."

There is a long line of poem engraved on the hilt of the sword. Obviously, this is an imperial poem written by Emperor Jiajing, because there are also nine small characters engraved on the body of the sword:

In the 19th year of Jiajing, the Jinling Lu family

Due to historical deviations, this knife is more than one hundred years old, but it is still a sharp sword.

There is no doubt about this.

The moment Lu Li got started, he noticed it.

"The weapons are unknown, brother..."

At the same time, Wang Zijing was taken aback by this inexplicable move, and was about to speak out to warn him.

The next moment, he obediently shut up.

Following the slash, a light saber energy visible to the naked eye was chopped out, hitting the rockery without any suspense.

Then, there was no further movement.

But this time, no one questioned Lu Li.

People? People? Inhuman!

The little junior shouted wildly in his heart, he knew that it was a swordsman's method, and he had seen such characters when he traveled the world with his master Mr. Tiantai in the past!

If the prediction is correct, the rockery about two feet high should have broken from it at this moment, but, because the cut surface is flat, it did not slip down the middle.

As for Dan Niang...

She has little knowledge, just slashing casually and wielding a light-colored saber aura is beyond Danniang's cognition, making her astonished as a heavenly being.

There was silence in the backyard.

After a little hesitation, the junior brother let go and said:

"Brother, think twice."

Wang Zijing knew that he couldn't persuade Lu Li, nor could he stop him from leaving, he could only make him think twice.

And Danniang just watched Lu Li silently, waiting for him to make his own decision, instead of trying to persuade him.

Because, from the night talk on the painting boat, the two of them could see that Lu Li was particularly interested in ghosts and gods, which could even be described as an obsession.

Now, the ghost has shown signs, and he himself is so... brave.

Is there any reason not to go?
