"What, Liu Bei?"
When Xia Tian looked at the "invitation" handed over by Wang Yangming himself, especially the name written in the "official script" that was most commonly used in the Han Dynasty, his face was filled with emotion. His expression is full of surprise!
Because, he really didn’t expect to see this name.
The most important thing is that this name is still on an "invitation" that clearly wants to poach him!
Strictly speaking, Xia Tian's feelings for "Liu Bei" are relatively complicated.
Because among the many emperors in ancient dynasties, compared to the first emperor Han Wu, Tang Zong Mingzu... Han Zhaolie Emperor, emperor uncle Liu Bei, their achievements are undoubtedly not very impressive, and they are far from the first place. sequence!
But in terms of popularity, in a certain sense it is certainly not inferior to the top emperors.
After all, the Three Kingdoms IP has increased the popularity of all the outstanding figures of the time. Even Zeng Xia Tian is an out-and-out "Three Kingdoms fan".
Especially if Shu Han has a filter, otherwise he would not be happy because the territory has recruited Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and others!
Only for "Uncle Liu Huang", Xia Tian's senses are more complicated.
First of all, I admire this ancient emperor who started from scratch and finally dominated the world.
Secondly, I feel that his actions and words always seem to be somewhat "unnatural and deliberate".
I later learned that it was because the author's excessive description in the "Romance" made the image of this ancient emperor somewhat "hypocritical."
As a scholar surnamed Lu pointedly pointed out, "If you want to show Liu Bei's wisdom, it seems fake, and Zhuge's wisdom is almost demonic."
Of course, the character of the real historical Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty and his uncle Liu Bei was different from this.
However, considering that when historical figures arrive, they will also merge with the other "projections" in the world of the illusory sea, thus possessing certain related memories!
“So, ‘Uncle Liu Huang’ might be even more difficult to deal with now.”
Xia Tian’s tone was a little vigilant.
Of course, it's just a bit of vigilance, not to mention fear.
In fact, as a human lord, Xia Tian had "contact" with many ancient emperors along the way from his initial territory of only five hundred meters to the Qianxia Dynasty that is now nearly ten thousand miles away.
In particular, he had a very deep "connection" with the "First Emperor".
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to be timid when facing "Uncle Liu Huang".
The reason is to treat it differently.
In addition to the "Shu Han filter", it is also due to a slight "guilt" to a greater extent.
Just because, in the Qianxia Dynasty, the number of heroes from the Three Kingdoms really accounted for a large proportion, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wei, Gao Shun, Xu Shu, Huang Yueying, Pang Tong... even most of them were An outstanding figure belonging to the Shu Kingdom!
"So, when it comes to poaching, I seem to be better than Liu Bei?"
Xia Tian thought to himself.
At the same time, I felt a little lucky in my heart.
There is a high probability that the outstanding Shu Han people in our camp will not be poached.
Just because, generally speaking, among the current senior officials of the Qianxia Dynasty, those who have the deepest feelings for Liu Bei undoubtedly belong to Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang!
But because the former killed himself, his memory stayed before he joined Liu Bei's camp.
As for Zhuge Liang, when the Qianxia Dynasty was founded, he had completely "identified" with him as a lord.
Even the entire Qianxia Dynasty was forged by himself and Zhuge Liang, both monarchs and ministers. They would not switch to the "old club" again due to emotion or reason!
As for Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Huang Yueying...
Although they were affected by the effect of "Zhuge Liang's fetters", they came to the edge of the Qianxia Dynasty.
But a golden hero of this level has ample room for self-choice. Since he is not with the Shuhan Dynasty, it can only mean that he has made a decision in his heart!
However, accordingly, there was such a huge loss of talents in Shu Han.
Has affected its foundation to a great extent.
For this reason, according to Wang Yangming, after arriving in the Eternal Land, Liu Bei was one of the most active people in the entire "City of Saints"!
"As far as I know, Emperor Zhaolie not only sent invitations to me. In fact, Emperor Zhaolie will invite any saint who has contact with him!"
Wang Yangming said.
"Every saint? How is it possible! Could it be that the Shu Han Dynasty has killed so many saints, so it dares to invite such a large scale?"
Xia Tian's face looked slightly surprised.
“Every emperor in history, especially the founding emperor, has a special power of luck, and will receive certain free 'passes' based on the luck and fame of his dynasty! "
"In addition, it is not necessary to become a saint before you can leave this city of saints. If you are willing to choose to become a vassal of a saint, you can also leave with him. …”
"Of course, the conditions for becoming a 'vassal' are relatively harsh."
Wang Yangming said.
For example, the students under his command are in such a situation.
A person with this status can only enter and exit the "City of Saints" and does not have the ability to "take advantage of the road" to travel to other places!
“So that’s it?”
Xia Tian understands.
If this rule is followed, there is no doubt that the emperors of the Three Kingdoms have taken advantage of it. After all, in history, the Three Kingdoms, especially the exaggeratedly popular dynasty of Shu Han, are not very numerous!
"I agree with Mr. Zhuge's remarks. If we use the 'Pass' directly, we will only have a few saints... But if we can maximize its effect, maybe it can help me The Qianxia Dynasty laid the foundation for eternity..."
Then, Wang Yangming's face straightened and he said again.
“However, I really didn’t expect that His Majesty would actually be prepared to take risks himself.”
"It can't be said to be dangerous!"
"As Mr. Zhuge said, the current situation of the human race is to sail against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat! Even if you stay where you are, you will be surpassed by a large number of alien races... Only Seize every opportunity, strengthen yourself, and don't miss any opportunity, so that you can reach the end!"
Xia Tian shook his head and looked up at the star beam in the sky above the Dragon Field, as if he wanted to see through something! . "Since your Majesty has decided, it would be better for me to lead you around this 'City of Saints' to see if there is anything that interests your Majesty."
Wang Yangming’s eyes showed appreciation.
Immediately after the starlight above the head gathered, a "portal" of stars flowing on the ground was condensed.
Immediately, after they both stepped into the portal with Xia Tian, their vision turned in vain!
"Is this... the City of Saints?"
As soon as you see it, there is a huge city suspended "between the sea of stars".
The entire city is not made of stones, but has completely absorbed the power of the stars in the heavens and condensed it with supreme magical power. It is suspended above the sea of clouds and shines like the brightest star in the world. Pearl!
The city gate is thousands of feet high and is decorated with dragon scales and phoenix feathers.
In the center stands an ancient statue at the height of an outer station, holding "Hetu Luoshu" in both hands. The surrounding space is constantly changing. There is a pair of simple stone tablets above the city gate, with the runes of heaven on them. It is engraved: "The saints of the past gathered here, and the heroes of the future can also be expected."
The city looks somewhat similar to the original "City of Heroes".
But there is no "Recruiting Hall", and the location where Xia Tian and Wang Yangming appear is in a gymnasium with "Dragon Field" written on it.
When the two of them walked out of this "Dragon Gym" and entered the bustling city.
Where it enters the eye.
There is a man wearing Hanfu, an Eguan on his head, a jade belt around his waist, fluttering clothes and light steps.
There are literati dressed in Tang suits, holding folding fans, or stroking the guqin, chatting and laughing, and poems and songs flow out like springs!
There are also generals wearing Ming armor, with solemn expressions, steady steps, and an aura of killing for the rest of their lives in a hundred battles!
Even, there are also exotic embellishments.
There are rat-tail money braids from the Qing Dynasty, which are symbols of the Jurchens and Manchus; there are also businessmen from the Arab world, wearing robes and headscarves, holding precious spices and jewelry in their hands as if they are looking for customers.
There are also some mysterious Indian warriors with paint on their faces, wearing eagle feather crowns, and embroidered with totems and symbols on their clothes. A cowboy with a pistol seeks revenge!
These people from different dynasties, with very different costumes and styles, all gather in this city!
Everyone, whether walking in the streets or sitting quietly in a teahouse, exudes an otherworldly aura; there are also many people who have a faint release of "holy power".
“In the city of saints, there are outstanding people from all walks of life. They are either literary giants, martial arts masters, technological pioneers, or philosophical masters... maybe just one person can have it. A master or even extraordinary attainment in a certain field... may even be a saint.”
Of course, even in this city where saints gather, true "saints" equivalent to the level of eternal genius are still rare!
“Moreover, most of these saints are not on the streets, but in their respective ‘shops and dojos’.”
Then Wang Yangming said again.
“Shop?”
Xia Tian had some surprises.
"Your Majesty, in addition to living in this human holy city, it can also be run... However, as long as you can come up with enough 'capital' and prove your ability under the 'Idol of the Human Emperor', you can get a building in the city. Shop, and used for 'business'! ”
According to Wang Yangming.
In this city, there is the "Renyi Hall" opened by the Confucian sage "Mencius". It has a lecture hall where the sage words of Confucianism and Taoism are explained every day, and the light of wisdom shines in all directions.
There is also the "Astronomical Pavilion" created by Zhang Heng, the "scientific sage" of the Han Dynasty. The pavilion contains a celestial star chart, which can be used to peer into the mysteries of the universe and predict good and bad luck. There is the "Mechanism Workshop" founded by the Mohist giant "Mozi". There are many skilled craftsmen gathered in the workshop. Mozi often guides the work of the craftsmen here and teaches the essence of the art of mechanism...
It is precisely because of these The existence of special "shops" allows humans to quickly cultivate a large number of "holy" people.
"For this reason, there is almost a 'big boss' figure with extraordinary background hidden in every 'shop'... such as this hotel. May I dare to ask your majesty to guess who opened it?"
On both sides of the street, antique shops are arranged like stars, arranged in an orderly manner.
Each one seems to have transcended the boundaries of time and space, exuding the atmosphere and unique charm of different dynasties. These shops are either carved with carved beams or painted beams, some with blue bricks and black tiles, and some even have a full sense of technology. Revealing a strong foundation!
What Wang Yangming was pointing to was a Tang Dynasty style "hotel".
The appearance may seem ordinary, but the sign of the store is something special. It looks like an unsheathed sword or a flying crane in the clouds, faintly revealing a bit of otherworldly sword intent. ! There are three big characters on it, "Zui Xian Ju", written in a dragon-snake style, with majestic momentum.
"Well, this word..."
Xia Tian glanced at it and felt that these words had a unique style and seemed a bit familiar.
An elegant human saint came to mind involuntarily. He held a long sword, drank wine, and wrote a thousand words in an instant!
"Could it be that?"
Immediately, there was a bit of surprise and "delight" on his face!
"It is indeed the person Your Majesty was thinking of... But the owner of this shop is often drunk. I hope I am sober today and can still remember Your Majesty!"
After Wang Yangming smiled.
Immediately, the two entered the hotel.
"Please let the shopkeeper taste it. This is a new wine that I have spent a lot of energy brewing."
"In the brewing process, not only the use of The wine is made of exotic-grade distiller’s yeast, using brand-new molecular technology, and... it was the subject of my original application for academicianship. The wine produced will definitely...definitely make Mr. drunk and sleepwalk in Kyushu!”
After the two of them walked into this "Drunken Immortal Residence", a voice happened to ring in their ears.
A middle-aged man who was dressed in a formal suit and leather shoes held a red and white-looking wine bottle with his hands in an uplifting manner. He handed it to the hotel counter with confidence on his face. Behind, there is a woman with a special temperament!
She has a graceful figure, a delicate face, and twinkling deep blue eyes. She is wearing a long gauze dress that combines Hu Feng and Han charm. The off-white background is embroidered with gold patterns, which is both exotic and exotic. Without losing elegance.
The long hair is braided into complicated braids, decorated with small gems and silver ornaments, swaying gently with the steps, adding a bit of agility and mystery!
“Is this a Hu woman? She became a follower of the shop owner because she admired his talent.”
Wang Yangming explained.
However, Xia Tian's eyes only stayed on the woman for a moment, and then fell on the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.
“He is actually a modern person?” (End of this chapter)
