Chapter 420 Xichuan Pass (2)

Room No. 1 is a separate courtyard, similar to a quadrangle, and the room is definitely enough for seven people to live in, but how to allocate it depends on your own plan.

The final result is that Bei Ming Zhiyao and Su Yige share a room, Situ Yue and Dongfang Xiaoxin share a room, and Su Yian, Xiahou Tuo, and Zhao Shiran are free to choose any room.

Because there are still a few empty rooms, Su Yian and the other two each live in a separate room.

After putting down the luggage and having a meal, the group set off for Xichuan Pass, not together, but separately.

"Xiaoxin, let's go shopping together?" Su Yige made the decision before Su Yian invited him.

Su Yian looked at Su Yige and sighed in his heart, thinking that his sister was too sensible.

So Su Yian set off with Bei Ming Zhiyao.

"Yige, she..." Beiming Zhiyao considered her tone for a moment: "Actually, she also wanted to go shopping with you. Sorry, because I..."

"It's okay." Su Yian held Beiming Zhiyao's hand and comforted her: "There will be more opportunities to travel together in the future, right?"

"So don't have any psychological burden. Yige hopes that I will accompany you more." Su Yian held Beiming Zhiyao's hand tightly: "Let's go to the top of the city to take a look."

"Yeah." Beiming Zhiyao responded, because her pace quickened, her hair flew, and the beautiful scene made many passers-by stunned.

"Tiange?" Ximen Kunshan looked at Huangfu Tiange next to him with fear. He didn't expect to meet Su Yian and Beiming Zhiyao here, and it was such an intimate scene between the two.

Ouyang Yuanqing went to the shop next to him to pick up small items, as if he didn't see the scene just now.

Huangfu Tiange's hands were slightly clenched. He originally just wanted to come here to take a look, but he saw the scene he least wanted to see. His good mood was shattered in a short moment and became irritable.

Ximen Kunshan swallowed his saliva and quickly changed the subject: "Tian Ge, let's go somewhere else?"

"No need." Huangfu Tiange said expressionlessly: "Let's go to the wall of Xichuan Pass."

"Oh." Ximen Kunshan winked at Huangfu Tiange. In school, Huangfu Tiange still respected Ouyang Yuanqing's opinion.

Ximen Kunshan didn't want to see the news headlines the next day saying "Huangfu Tiange and Su Yian fought on the wall of Xichuan Pass".

Ouyang Yuanqing seemed to have not seen it, but nodded in agreement: "Xichuan Pass is a famous pass. How can you not go and see it when you come here? Otherwise, it would be a waste of time!"

"Let's go." Huangfu Tiange said lightly, Ximen Kunshan looked at Ouyang Yuanqing speechlessly: "You are really, don't you mind watching the excitement?"

"I didn't." Ouyang Yuanqing spread his hands: "We are all adults, don't worry, we know what to do and what not to do!"

"But from ancient times to the present, from novels to reality, how many men have fought for women, there are countless lessons from the past, can you guarantee that no one will get excited??" Ximen Kunshan sighed: "If these two people really fight here..."

"Not bad." Ouyang Yuanqing took over the conversation.

"What?" Ximen Kunshan's tone suddenly rose several decibels?

"That mask is not bad." Ouyang Yuanqing quickly pointed to the mask stand not far away.

Ximen Kunshan held his forehead with his hand: "Oh, forget it, let's just do what we have to do."

...

Climbing up to the top of Xichuan Pass, looking far into the distance, the endless wasteland is in sight. Although there is no green, although there is no vitality, but one can inexplicably feel a sense of desolation and a kind of killing!

"Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield, how many people have returned from the ancient battles." The voice of the tour guide next to him rang out: "Thousands of years ago, the soldiers guarding the border were not afraid of hardships, life and death, and resisted the Hu people outside Xichuan Pass, which led to the stable development of the inland areas."

"The resources of Xiadong Province are limited, and the characteristics of the province are few and far between, but the locals have made great contributions to this country, so we can't look down on the locals because of the local poverty and backwardness, nor can we despise the locals because of various political legacy factors."

"Political legacy factors?" Beiming Zhiyao stretched out her hand and put it on the heavy wall, and had doubts because of the tour guide's words.

Su Yian thought for a moment and explained: "Now the empire recruits soldiers from various provinces and cities, but it was not like this thousands of years ago."

"Especially for frontiers like the border, soldiers are generally recruited from the locals because the environment is harsh and the locals have better physical fitness than outsiders."

"Although there are fewer and fewer locals, guarding the border has become a mission engraved in their bones, and they are very loyal to the royal family of the previous dynasty, so they did not surrender when the Qin Dynasty was established, which led to a series of political problems..."

"His Majesty the Emperor of Qin was a man of great talent and strategy, and did not punish these people, but his subordinates disagreed and did some mistakes."

"But thousands of years have passed, many things have been forgotten, and the conflicts between outsiders and locals are not so intense."

"Is that so..." Bei Ming Zhiyao nodded, looked at the tour guide who began to introduce the wall of Xichuan Pass, and said: "Are all the tour guides locals?"

"I think so."

"Let's go see the beacon tower."

"Okay."

Xichuan Pass is like a crouching dragon crawling on the ground. Most of the scenery is the same at a glance. Many tourists feel bored after half an hour of strolling and start to take a break and take pictures. The tourists in the tour group following the tour guide also start to chatter about other things.

At the beacon tower, an old man was telling a story about Gao Yun, a garrison commander of Xichuan Pass.

Su Yian stopped to listen, and Beiming Zhiyao did not interrupt him and accompanied Su Yian to finish listening.

After listening, Su Yian put a hundred-yuan bill into the old man's bowl, and then continued to walk forward with Beiming Zhiyao.

"Gao Yun... There is no such name in the history textbook." Beiming Zhiyao said, although the story of Gao Yun told by the old man just now was quite attractive.

"Xichuan Pass has stood for thousands of years, and the garrison commanders rotated quickly. Gao Yun was just a mediocre one among them, and of course it would not be recorded in history books."

"But the old man just said that Gao Yun led his troops out of the pass to attack the Hu people and beheaded 30,000 people. This is a very good record, especially under the passive defense strategy of Xichuan Pass. Taking the initiative to attack and win must have been exciting at the time, right?"

"Maybe because he is a traitor."

"Ah?" Beiming Zhiyao opened her eyes wide and looked at Su Yian in surprise.

"I forgot when and where I read it in a book on a local stall, saying that although Gao Yun took the initiative to attack and won several battles, he led his two hundred guards out of the pass for patrol and never came back."

"And a few days later, the Hu people launched a large-scale attack and were familiar with the defense forces of important places in Xichuan Pass. That battle almost led to the loss of Xichuan Pass, so later some people said that Gao Yun must have defected to the Hu people and disclosed military intelligence, which led to such heavy casualties."

"Judging from the results, the possibility of Gao Yun's defection is indeed very high." Su Yian shrugged his shoulders: "It is the first time that a general guarding Xichuan Pass has defected, so it is reasonable to erase the traces of its existence in history. Of course."

"General Gao is not a traitor." At this time, an old voice came from behind. The two turned their heads and saw that the old man who had just told the story was staring at Su Yian with burning eyes, and said word by word: "General Gao is not a traitor."

Su Yian smiled: "It's thousands of years of history, you know it?"

"He is my ancestor." The old man said: "When he went out to patrol, General Gao brought two hundred guards, including his three sons."

"And I am a descendant of the third son's lineage."

"You mean that the third son survived for various reasons and passed down the truth as a family heirloom, hoping to redress General Gao's grievances one day, is that right?" Su Yian looked at the old man.

"Yes." The old man nodded.

"Can you guarantee that Gao Yun's third son did not lie?" Su Yian asked calmly, "Can you guarantee that this third son fabricated the facts in order to avoid being stigmatized?"

"Old man, thousands of years have passed, and no one knows the truth of the facts." Su Yian said, "Why do you bother about this incident that you don't even know the truth of?"

The old man was silent, and finally sighed, turned around and left, his figure seemed to be more hunched than before.

Bei Ming Zhi Yao looked at Su Yi An: "You didn't have to say so much to him just now."

"He doesn't have a firm belief in his heart, otherwise he would have argued with me a long time ago." Su Yi An spread his hands: "Besides, it's useless to tell these things to tourists from all over the world every day. They basically just listen to them as stories. Instead of indulging in the truth that he doesn't even believe 100%, it's better to tell other more interesting stories."

"Thousands of years of things, even if the truth is like that, at most it will be written in some unimportant news history section. There's nothing else."

Bei Ming Zhi Yao looked at Su Yi An: "Junior brother, you have always been so rational..."

"No." Su Yi An stopped and turned to look at Bei Ming Zhi Yao: "For you, I have always followed my feelings."

In just one sentence, Bei Ming Zhi Yao was overjoyed, glanced at Su Yi An shyly and lowered his head.

"This dog food..." The passers-by around them looked at the two speechlessly and hurried past.

"Let's go, continue shopping." Su Yi An took Bei Ming Zhi Yao's hand and continued forward.

"They are just ahead." Ximen Kunshan looked at Su Yian and Beiming Zhiyao who had just left, and his eyes jumped, fearing that Huangfu Tiange would catch up with them directly.

But what you fear will come.

"Zhiyao." Huangfu Tiange shouted, and then took a step forward.

Beiming Zhiyao stopped when she heard the voice, turned around and looked at Huangfu Tiange who was walking over, and the bright smile on her mouth turned into a polite smile.

"President Huangfu, are you here for tourism too?"

"President Huangfu...?" Huangfu Tiange thought self-deprecatingly, why did he call Beiming Zhiyao? Isn't this making himself uncomfortable?

"Yes." Huangfu Tiange took a deep breath, and his face showed a face: "You and Su Yian too?"

"Yeah!" Beiming Zhiyao nodded, and didn't mean to continue.

At this time, Su Yian asked, "When does President Huangfu plan to go to Baihu Village?"

"We'll leave soon." Huangfu Tiange was not surprised that Su Yian knew the destination of their trip, because he met many elites from other schools on the way here, and he knew that there were quite a few people invited to Baihu Village.

Su Yian and Beiming Zhiyao were probably going to Baihu Village, too. He remembered that there were people from the Nangong family studying at Tianji Magic Academy.

"Then we won't bother President Huangfu. We still have to go shopping, so we'll leave first." Su Yian took Beiming Zhiyao's hand and turned to leave.

"Tiange, why bother!" Ximen Kunshan said helplessly.

Huangfu Tiange said expressionlessly, "Let's go, go directly to Baihu Village."

…

"Even Huangfu Tiange was invited..."

"Normally, he is known as the number one person of the younger generation. He has a strong bloodline from the Huangfu family. How could he not be invited after inviting other people?" Su Yian said: "It seems that he is also free, otherwise he wouldn't I will accept the invitation to come here and have a look.”

"After all, school hasn't started yet." Beiming Zhiyao laughed: "Besides, I want to interfere and work hard, so I just relax now and treat it as a trip."

"Are you also planning to apply for the National University of Magic?" This is the first time Su Yian asked Beiming Zhiyao about his future plans.

"Yes." Beiming Zhiyao nodded: "The National University of Magic is the best magic university in Daqin and one of the top ten magic universities in the world. The teachers there are at worst level 3, and in There are a lot of precious materials stored in the library. I want to further improve myself, so going there is the best choice.”

"What about you, junior? What are you thinking about the future?" Bei Ming Zhiyao asked curiously: "Do you want to go to the National University of Magical Engineering for further study?"

In her opinion, Su Yian's talent in magic engineering is extremely high, and with Master Dongfang as his teacher, he will definitely be another outstanding magic engineer in the future.

"I won't go." Su Yian shook his head without any hesitation.

"Huh?" Beiming Zhiyao was a little surprised.

"My words, of course it will slow you down." Su Yian said with a smile: "I also want to go to the National University of Magic."

The corners of Bei Ming Zhiyao's mouth curled up involuntarily: "Really?"

"real."

"Then junior fellow student, you have to work hard and don't let me down." Beiming Zhiyao said: "The entrance examination of the National University of Magic is very strict."

"I heard that President, you have a chance to recommend me?"

"I don't know." Beiming Zhiyao shook her head: "The chance is slim. Since the establishment of the National University of Magic, very few people have been admitted. I will give you a few examples, such as Huangfu Jue, Dongfang Xiong, Qin Huaiqian... …”

"These people are now all powerful men at the level of the Grand Mage, and they all have a chance to step into the supreme position of sage."

"They are all from the Ten Families of Heaven."
