Chapter 266
266 Chapter 266 hou Yuan
Was this the pillar of Wei state’s capital?
Xia Pingan opened his eyes and found himself standing at the city gate, staring blankly at the passing carriages. He raised his head and looked up. As expected, there were two words above the gate: ” Yi gate.
Xia Pingan raised her hand again to take a look. As expected, her hand was unusually old, like a chicken claw. The skin on the back of her hand was dry and full of wrinkles. There were also some age spots, like old tree bark. One look and one could tell that it was an old hand.
He looked down and saw that his white beard reached his chest. He was wearing a set of gray-blue old clothes that could be considered clean. The clothes were even patched. He had a leather belt around his waist and a copper sword on it.
At this age, with this outfit, he could only be described as pitiful.
Near the city gate, there were a few thugs from Daliang. They were people who made a living on the streets. They were squatting under the roof of a noodle restaurant near the city gate, sizing up the passing crowd with a sneaky look. Xia Pingan looked at those thugs, and they immediately smiled and shrank their heads, as if they were in awe of Xia Pingan.
“So it’s this hou Yuan,” Xia Pingan said.
This realm Pearl was the one he had bought at the Tianyuan bridge night market that night. It looked gray and there were only two words on it-” hou Yuan. even the seller and the onlookers had no idea what realm Pearl it was or what it could summon. Therefore, it was not expensive. As the price of the realm Pearl had increased and people would not die if the fusion failed, it cost Xia Pingan 1460 gold coins.
Yes, there were also some rare and strange realm beads in Yuan Qiu world. Those realm beads did not have the corresponding spiritual will crystal, or the corresponding spiritual will crystal was so rare that one could not be seen in hundreds of years, so no one could fuse with these realm beads. Or in history, only a few people could fuse with these realm beads, so these realm beads were similar to the black box realm beads. Almost no one knew what kind of secret technique could be obtained after the fusion of these realm beads.
When he saw the two words ” hou Yuan ” on the realm Pearl, Xia Pingan bought it without any hesitation. This was because Xia Pingan knew that there was only one person in history with the name ” hou Yuan ” that had left a wonderful mark in the history books. This ” hou Yuan ” was a standard small figure who was unknown. It was this small figure named ” hou Yuan ” that finally helped the famous lord xinling.
This was the fourth realm Pearl that Xia Pingan had fused with tonight. Before this, Xia Pingan had already fused with the three realm pearls of ‘deceiving ears ,” cup bow snake shadow’, and’ Yi Yin’.
The “cover your ears and steal a Bell” realm Pearl would give one a special summoning spell after fusing with it. The summoning spell was called the mute enchantment. This enchantment could isolate sounds within a certain range. The “cup bow snake shadow” realm Pearl could cause the enemy to become confused and bewildered, affecting their combat power. As for the “Yi Yin” realm Pearl, it was even more interesting. Yi Yin was a slave at the start and had assisted Cheng Tang in building the Shang Dynasty and destroying the Xia Dynasty. He was the founding elder of the Shang Dynasty. Yi Yin was also the “ancestor of spies” in China’s history. Without Yi Yin and his spies, the Xia Dynasty would not have been destroyed so easily. The Yi Yin realm Pearl had also given Xia ping ‘an two interesting spells.
When hou Chu left his name in history, he was already 70 years old. He was the gatekeeper of the Yi gate of Daliang country in Wei country, a small guard.
At this moment, the King of Wei was Wei Tan, also known as Wei Anli. In Wei, the one who was more famous than Wei Anli was the Xinling Lord, Wei Wuji.
This was an era that belonged to the four young masters of the Warring States period, an era where countless stars shone and heroes emerged.
While Xia ping ‘an was still looking at the people coming and going at the city gate, two gorgeous carriages pulled by four black horses had already come from the city.
The two carriages were still some distance away from the city gate, but they attracted the attention of all the pedestrians at the city gate and on the streets.
It couldn’t be helped, the two carriages were too eye-catching. To the people of this era, those carriages were too eye-catching.
uncle hou, that’s Lord xinling’s carriage. I’ve seen the driver before, ” a guard wearing leather armor and holding a long spear said to Xia Pingan.
They’re here so quickly?
Xia Pingan muttered in his heart, and then said to the soldiers guarding the door, ” everyone, keep your spirits up.
In fact, even without Xia Pingan’s warning, the soldiers guarding the Yi gate had already straightened their backs, not daring to be careless.
The wheels of the two carriages rolled along the road until they actually stopped at the city gate of Yi gate. The deceased driver of the carriage in front alighted from the carriage, placed a carriage stool on the ground, and then respectfully opened the carriage door.
As soon as the car door opened, a seven-foot tall man with sword-like eyebrows and a dignified appearance in luxurious clothes lowered his head and got out of the car.
A few attendants came down from the carriage behind, each of them holding a gift box that looked expensive.
When the people around the city gate saw the man, they hurriedly bowed. greetings, lord xinling!
Lord xinling’s reputation in Daliang city and the Wei Kingdom was well-known. He was like a thunderclap to everyone’s ears. Furthermore, lord xinling had many visitors at the gates of Daliang city and often appeared in public. Hence, almost all the people in Daliang city knew him.
Xia ping ‘an also looked at lord xinling, who came down from the carriage, and nodded to himself. Lord xinling was very handsome and had an extraordinary aura. He was indeed one of the four young masters of the Warring States period.
The Xinling Lord, Wei Wuji, alighted from the carriage. His gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Xia ping ‘an. He saw that Xia ping’ an was old but full of energy, had bright eyes, and was wearing the uniform of a gatekeeper. He smiled and walked over, taking the initiative to bow.
“Are you Mr. Hou?”
“Hou Yuan greets lord xinling!” Xia Pingan bowed to lord xinling.
The people around were watching the show, and none of them were breathing heavily.
The Lord of Xinling smiled. I’ve long heard that the supervisor of Daliang’s Yi gate, hou Gong, is a wise man. He has been in the Army for decades and has fought valiantly. He empathizes with his soldiers and has spent all his wealth to take care of the families of his fallen comrades. He has also been loyal to the Yi gate supervisor and has never made a mistake. Today, I’m here to visit you, Sir. I have a small gift for you. Please accept it!
With a wave of lord xinling’s hand, the attendant behind him walked up and opened the gift boxes. In an instant, the surrounding people exclaimed in surprise.
The attendant behind lord xinling was holding onto money, jewelry, silk, and satin. They were worth tens of thousands of gold and were extremely valuable.
This was the bearing of a Lord of Xinling. When he heard that there was a wise man, he immediately paid a visit with a great gift of ten thousand gold to thank him.
Those who didn’t know hou Yuan’s history and hadn’t fused with a spiritual will crystal would be dumbfounded at this moment.
“I’ve been cultivating for decades, and I can’t accept young master’s generous gift just because I’m poor now. Please take it back!” Xia ping ‘an calmly said to lord xinling.
Lord xinling was slightly taken aback. He had rushed here excitedly this time, but he definitely did not expect that this Hou Yi would actually reject his generous gift. He did not care about the gifts that he had given him at all. Lord xinling had never met such a person before.
“Sir’s character is noble and pure, I was rude!” Lord xinling bowed to Xia ping ‘an and waved his hand, dismissing the servants with the gifts. I’ll visit you another day! After he finished speaking, lord xinling did not stay any longer. He got back into the carriage and turned back.
The surrounding people were all amazed. First, they were amazed at lord xinling’s respect for the wise, and second, they were amazed that Xia Pingan actually rejected lord xinling’s generous gift. The surrounding people were all discussing spiritedly.
After lord xinling left, the city gates gradually returned to peace. However, at noon, they saw a Black-headed and black-faced burly man, bare-chested and bare-chested, pulling a Large Black Pig through the Yi gate with a pig leash and a pig slaughtering knife hanging from his waist.
“Zhu Zan, you went to collect pigs again!” The few soldiers who were guarding the gate greeted the pig herder.
I’m a butcher. If I don’t drive pigs, do I drive people away? ” the burly man who was driving the pigs laughed and said to Xia Pingan, ” old man, I heard that you didn’t accept the gift that the Xinling Lord gave you today. Hahaha, I’m killing pigs today. Remember to come to my house for a drink later. Let’s use the pig’s waist to go with wine to nourish your body.
Xia Pingan smiled and nodded.
……
This job at the Yi gate was easy. After Xia ping ‘an had a drink with Zhu Zan, he slowly got used to his identity.
Three days later, Xia ping ‘an was still standing at the entrance of the Yi gate.
Lord xinling’s carriage came, but this time, it was lord xinling who personally drove it.
Lord xinling drove the carriage to the city gate. He got off the carriage, held the reins, and said to Xia Pingan, ” I’m hosting a banquet at home today and specially invited you to attend!
The surrounding people were in an uproar. They all looked at Xia Pingan with envious eyes. This lord xinling was actually personally driving hou Yuan’s carriage. This kind of reception was too Grand.
