Episode 3.08

**The Girl on a Mission** is the eighth episode in the third cycle of Asia's Next Top Model.  It is the thirty-fourth episode overall.

## Episode Summary

The girls went home after the shocking elimination of who may seem a big threat for all of them, Melissa's elimination led her circle of friends; Barbara, Gani, Tahlia and most especially KB into deep sadness. The girls went in awe to see how flawless Monika's performance so far. Aimee became frustrated with the fact that Tahlia stayed over Melissa.

Tahlia had her health checked, as she felt strange the past few days, and started speculating it was a breast lump, as her mother and grandmother passed away from breast cancer.

The girls headed on to their challenge. They were introduced to the latest runway hair trends by Georgina and Tresemmé expert stylist, Giovanni Wihayak, and were given thirty minutes to recreate such. Amanda, KB, Monika and Tahlia excelled in the challenge, with Gani being the only girl who experienced a train wreck to recreate the assigned look to her.

 Bombshell Blowout
 Twists & Braids
 Long Tail
 Mixed Materials
 Boho Waves

Ultimately it was to be Monika's first ever challenge win, winning her immunity from elimination and has secured her spot in the top six. Georgina asked Monika to choose five models to go through with her in the top six, which she chose all girls but Tahlia.

The girls participated in an outdoor photo shoot with Indonesian icon Andien Aisyah, which they are tasked to showcase their hair well while wearing the gorgeous creations of Filipino fashion designer Rajo Laurel. The man behind the lens was Jez Smith. Tahlia and Barbara were the clear stand outs, while Gani started off weak, she took herself up and ended up doing well in the shoot. Aimee and Monika did well too, while Amanda and KB struggled.

At panel the girls received acclamation from the judges; Aimee, Barbara, Gani, Monika and Tahlia were praised with their outstanding photos leaving Amanda and KB receiving lukewarm comments from the judges. Tahlia was handed her first best photo, Amanda and KB landed themselves in the bottom two. Amanda landed in the bottom because of her blinking problem which misses out opportunities for great photos, while KB had shown improvement ever since the start of the competition but her opportunities are limited. In the end Amanda was handed a photo and was told by Georgina that it might be her last chance to stay in the competition due to several weeks of the blinking issue and inconsistency. KB was then sent home.

## Episode Summary

As seen on other Top Model competitions, this cycle features a recap episode where it shows a flashback of the moments that happened the entire season. Especially Kate's attitude that exudes the great personality among other girls in the competition. The episode has shown five sets of never-before-seen footage which includes Monica's playful character as she made fun of the girls when she looked like a clown. It also shows how the girls called their loved ones. Jessica's talk with her boyfriend made her strong and fight, Helena missed her boyfriend and cried over the phone, and Kate's hilarious conversation with her boyfriend was the highlight of the recap episode.

In episode 8, after Helena's alleged panic attack, she was then visited by model mentor Joey Mead-King who she gave a shoulder to cry on. In episode 9, Helena also entertained Kate by reenacting the judges. Meanwhile in episode 10, Joey gives a surprise by serving first class meal by celebrity chef, Emmanuel Stroobant. Joey shared her stories and experiences during their dinner.

When the episode came to its close, Daniel visited the Top 4 girls and gave advice and tips about how the girls should dress for casting. Kate had a feeling that Daniel had a secret, and she guessed that they would be going somewhere. She was very confident about that. Kate expected to see herself on London's streets. As the show closed, the girls were left with a surprise box and it showed that they are all beaming with happiness. In the next episode, it is expected that the final four girls will go to Hong Kong for their next shoot as they all take their high fashion profiles to the next level.

卫氏有门客刘达尔有海船若干，寺人阿某精通航海。其时有海商守志献海图，言东海之上有海岛，宜居。

卫氏遂举族东渡，不料途中遇风暴，偏离航道。历四十余日方抵一大岛。

东夏国物产丰富，紫檀、珍珠、火山金、龙涎香等贩之中土货值累万。其国渐富庶。

## Scores

 **4** | Julian

## Episode Summary

Picking up from where the previous episode ended, it was revealed that Julian had the lowest combined scores and therefore was eliminated, while Patricia, Sang In and Tawan all advanced to the final three.

Much of the episode was edited in the nature of a recap episode, with commentaries from the judges and the finalists intertwining between the scenes. After Julian's elimination, the girls were treated with champagne and fondue for making to the top three. The next day, a Cindy Mail told them that they were invited to have a meal at the underwater restaurant in Sentosa Island Singapore, where they were joined by Kenneth Goh.

During their meal, Kenneth asked various questions about their journey on Top Model. Patricia thought winning the very first runway challenge gave her an extra boost, despite not having the runway height herself. She also reminisced back to when Jessica was injured, Tuti as her best friend and her winning three best performances. Tawan wished she could've did better on the Comp card photo shoot in week 3, recalled the moment where many girls cried over their makeovers (which Tawan didn't think to be as drastic as her own) and the times where she opted to be silent because she didn't quite understand English. Sang In shared the stories of being best friend with Jessica, Alaiza's shock exit and her experience working with Yu Tsai. Afterwards, Kenneth showed the girls their childhood photos and how far they've come.

Cindy, Kelly and Yu Tsai all gave commentaries throughout the episode as well. Cindy praised Patricia for setting the standard for the girls on the runway, Tawan for being able to transform in photograph and Sang In for her editorial look. Yu Tsai recalled his more confrontational moments, as well as when he was impressed with the finalists' performances on the Harper's Bazaar cover shoot which he shot, while Kelly commended the girls in this season for standing out since the first time she saw all of them.

The next day, the finalists received another Cindy Mail, and before the girls could guess the meaning of the mail's content, guests suddenly entered the model house much to their excitement, although the guests weren't revealed until the next episode.
皇宋国史

《皇宋国史》为一部描写宋朝国史的史书，其作者不详，包含诸帝本纪，诸侯世家等内容

## 鲁世家

鲁僖公仲先，太宗皇帝第四子鲁恭靖王元份曾孙而濮王允让之侄孙也。元份治平中改封鲁王，熙宁三年，以长子允宁之子宗肃嗣封鲁国公，宗肃卒，子仲先嗣。绍圣三年，诏就实封于鲁。

鲁国居海之东，古属摩逸诸岛，方圆数千里，北邻雍曹，西接定秦，南连濮越，地方富庶，宜于耕牧，兼有金、铜之利，宣仁以仲先亲贵，故封于此，赐都邑名「丰」，世称丰邑。时封建之初，诸侯多不欲就封，诏下多有戚容，乃至相聚而泣者。仲先方染疾，闻诏下，家人皆有忧容，独仲先从容如故，绝无怨言，月余，即陛辞出京。燕公仲恕同受诏，不愿就封，欲告太后，仲先责以大义，仲恕悔悟，竟与仲先同日陛辞。后闻之嘉叹，遣使至杭州，特赐二公兵甲奴婢。

四年，仲先率家人部属一千五百余众至摩逸，雍、曹二王闻之，皆驾大船来迎，雍王乃亲送仲先至丰邑，岛夷闻之，率众来犯，为雍王所败，遂与雍曹为盟。于是仲先造坛祭祖告天，营造丰邑，历十年方成。

时摩逸颇多海贼、岛夷为患，仲先初至丰邑，颇苦之，一国之民，困守丰邑，无敢外出者。之国半年，又遇风灾，大船尽毁，存粮尽失，仲先才具止中庸尔，于是一筹莫展，止与部属对目，相泣无言。长子士稷见之，乃与弟士杰私议，士杰请赴曹求救。率一校尉、一舟人，驾一小船，渡船百里，至曹国，见曹王，泣于庭，曹王乃借粮千石并大船与士杰。士杰使校尉驾船先返，又至雍，雍王乃借兵一百、并善战将校二人及战船相助。士杰遂作表求援，请二王代呈朝廷，率军归国。

雍兵至鲁，遂大破岛夷于野，又破海贼数十，仲先亲至东雍、新陶谢，雍、曹二王相商，曰：「授人以鱼，莫若授人以渔。」遂说仲先，以雍将教鲁兵战阵之法，又使人教士稷、士杰兵法。士稷不乐，谓人曰：「吾华夏贵胄，不习礼乐，乃学此不仁之术。」士杰亦曰：「鲁者，周公之遗，文明之邦，当兴德化。」遂婉拒二王，止令鲁兵从雍将习战阵。

士杰善文辞，求援之表既至汴京，读之者无不泪下，后遂责杭州水军往援。五年，王师大集于摩逸，战船百余艘，至丰邑登陆，一月十战，斩首四十余级，生俘岛夷千余人，皆奉诏赐仲先为奴。又赐仲先强弩、震天雷数千，至此鲁国初安。

以鲁国之故，王师复巡摩逸，诸夷震慑，诸侯莫不相庆，以为士杰之功。士杰由是知名于诸侯。鲁有金铜之利，岛夷既肃，仲先遂以奴隶采金、铜，富甲诸侯。仲先遂大购奴婢，盛治宫殿楼阁假山亭池，又购胡婢数十，旦夕歌舞为乐。

士稷忧之，谓士杰曰：「吾读史书，未闻有以金铜之利立国者，此非长计。然虽知其非，不知孰是，奈何？」士杰乃谓雍、曹二国诸相甚贤，请往问计。士稷从之，至东雍，问计于雍相卫棠，卫棠教以耕牧渔商四术。士稷归国，乃曰：「吾国之土，十分有八可为牧场，当以畜牧为本。」遣人购水牛、马，又至雍国购北奴牧之。畜牧既兴，士杰又见士稷，曰：「吾国居海洋之中，不知舟船，何以立足于诸侯？」士稷遂令部属学土人操舟捕渔之术。初，鲁本无商船，金铜之属，皆由雍、曹诸国商船至丰邑贸易，至是，乃令人建商队，至新陶贸易。

仲先爱读《老子》，初闻封建之诏，士商往见之，仲先莫不折节下交，然纵彼口若悬河，仲先不过讷讷而已。又吝于爵赏，不轻许诺，是以鲁封建之初，从者廖廖，仲先亦不以为意。然若遇挫，亦无策以应之，惟知泣泪。至是，乃以国事尽付二子，旦夕享乐。因惧风浪，不敢出海，常邀诸侯卿士至丰邑宴饮；好华服美酒，皆遣使至杭州购之；好蹴鞠，乃至亲与奴婢相戏，尝以千金邀杭州蹴鞠社至丰邑较技；又好炼丹，道冠至鲁，皆待以上宾。然亦因此长于吐纳养生之术，熙宁、绍圣诸侯，仲先最为长寿。年八十八，卒于丰邑。

士稷素有令名，既监国，轻徭薄赋，人畜繁衍，户口倍增，越五年，丰邑成，乃欲大兴文教，以儒者礼乐为本，乃遣使至杭州募善乐者。时东南善乐名家，多有往鲁者。又以蕃夷之属，不知雅乐之正，乃亲自编排戏剧，揉合杂剧、曲子词，名为「鲁戏」，在丰邑建勾栏每日排演，风靡一时，诸侯多有亲往丰邑观戏者。仲先亦以此犹爱之。

士稷监国七年，岛夷叛乱，兼有海贼为祸，鲁兵三战而三败，士稷与士杰议：「吾邦仁义之邦，虽有雍人相助，终不擅战阵之术，吾昔在汴京，与邺公善，闻邺有火铳火炮之利，当往求之。」遂遣使至邺，购火统火炮战船。雍王闻之，不悦，遣使责问。士稷惧，乃使士杰使雍。士杰至雍，见雍王，重订盟好，约为婚姻，以士稷之子娶雍相卫棠之孙；又至曹，见曹王，以曹王之子娶士稷妻弟之女。于是士稷至新陶，与二王盟。二王遂发兵助鲁平乱，又教鲁兵习火铳火炮之法。邺公闻之，怒，遣使至丰邑，士杰见使者，谢曰：「邺国虽强，然所谓鞭长莫及者。雍曹近在咫尺，鲁不交好则不得安。况四国皆太宗皇帝子孙，又何分彼此？」乃致书邺公，卑辞厚礼，竟解邺公之怒。

士稷监国九年，福州知州劾士稷私贩奴婢。有诏不问，止以劾章送至丰邑，士稷上表谢罪，请以士杰监国，诏不许。是年，丰邑民鞭杀一北奴，致数十北奴作乱，纵火烧城，逢大雨得止，焚庐舍四十余间，颁《奴婢法》，禁民私杀奴婢。士稷又以北奴难制，欲多致日本、高丽奴婢，逢有诏不得私掠辽、高丽、日本三国之民为奴，乃止。又欲遣使至周，请购昆仑、天竺奴，为雍人所觉，使者不得行。与雍曹诸国会盟于新陶，订《新陶之约》，各国皆颁法令，凡奴婢未经驯服者，不许出售。

士稷监国十年，丰邑大疫。死者数百，士稷亦染疫不治，卒。上表请归葬士稷河南，不许。

士稷既卒，仲先乃以士杰监国。士杰遣使至曹，延请名医，民心附之。疫去，濮国岛夷作乱，曹国相率兵援之，士杰乃率鲁兵供给粮水，乱平，又以水牛百头赠濮王。于是诸侯皆知士杰之贤。

士杰又教民种水稻、甘蔗、棉花，鲁民愈富。又颁《习铳法》，令国内汉民皆习火铳射击之术。然士杰性仁善，非不得己不愿兴兵。监国方一年，雍王大举出兵，清剿国内岛夷，遣使至鲁，欲士杰出兵相助，士杰乃婉拒之，止助军资。后数年，秦国岛夷作乱，遣使求援，士杰但助火铳百枝，终不肯发兵。尝对其子言：「吾国国小，止当大宋一县之地，若国君喜兵，是好大喜功，自取败亡也。」或谓奈敌国外患何，曰：「但尊事朝廷、雍、曹，何患之有？吾国之患，只在国君志向远大。」

士杰好儒术，善文辞，以儒生自许。尝颁《识字令》，令国内汉民男童，皆须进学，熟读四书，习算术，知礼仪，家贫者由公府助之。盖鲁国富而民寡，故能为此。士杰好读《战国策》，出使各国，莫不得意，然犹厌纵横家，凡士人至鲁，士杰虽皆礼遇，然终不肯重用。其致书曹王云，各国皆患不强，而鲁则患其强，惟愿鲁能国富民安，丰衣足食，悠游度日足矣。又谓鲁国一县之地，但设县官、丞、尉三官足矣，多置官署，不过徒耗国帑，沽取虚名，不能致福，适足招祸，故有士虽贤，于鲁无用。

士杰监国十二年间，鲁国内外无事，所患者惟风灾疫疾而已。士杰乃延请高僧有道，祭祀风神，不敢缺礼；又罗致名医，兴办医学，贤名播于东海，士庶咸爱戴之。国家既无事，士杰亦颇耽于游宴，扩建勾栏，流连瓦舍，沉迷于鲁戏，尤过其兄。又好双陆，尝遍邀天下双陆名家，会战于丰邑，胜者得获黄金百两！其耽于女色犹为人所诟，或谓其府中女婢逾三百，闻某地有妓貌美，必百计延致。雍王爱其材，尝致书相劝，然终不以为意。至新陶会盟，见魏国卿李周侍婢貌美而私通，为周所觉，衔之，于其酒中下毒而亡。事觉，周亦为魏公所磔。

士杰既卒，士稷子不屈监国，即鲁惠公。
贾安廷

贾安廷，两浙路台州天台县人，可能是宋宰相贾似道的同族。大约出生于宋仁宗嘉佑（西元1056年—西元1126年年间）。他的生平记载不多，大部分见于《雍鉴》 。

他年少的时候在西湖学院求学，后来又到了白水潭，是一位任侠之人，常常佩剑在身，据说还曾经杀过人；对经济问题也有自己的看法，对宋高宗和主持变法的当朝宰相吕惠卿非常尊敬，达到了崇拜的境地。熙宁十八年时，他因为赶考的缘故正在汴梁，听说雍烈王有篡位夺权、停止变法的野心，因此聚集同志，想要动手杀掉他。但还没有付诸实施，雍烈王就失败了。

之后他参加了熙宁十八年的考试，受到了主考官的赏识，名列一甲，留在京师担任谏官。但他对司马光和石越的执政非常失望，不断攻击当时朝廷的内外政策。结果被当局者目为眼中钉、肉中刺。绍圣四年（西元1089年），他作为「六世卿」之一被派往雍国，出仕了自己在五年前还发誓要杀掉的雍烈王。

贾安廷到吕宋之后，并没有马上得到雍烈王的信任，被打发到北方去开发鲁阳郡。当时的鲁阳郡托名为郡，其实什么东西也没有。贾安廷带着族人和雍王拨发的上千移民来到那里，披荆斩棘，建立起城池。终雍烈王一世，他长期担任鲁阳郡守，没有能够进入宫廷。

后来绍圣帝亲政，想起了当年不惧强暴反对奸臣的贾安廷，就派人前往雍国，想要让他回汴京做官。贾安廷私下里对人说：「已经做了雍王的臣子，主上待我很好，我背叛他这是不忠；主上将鲁阳郡托付给我，现在山里还有蛮夷没有归化，我半途而废这是不义。不忠不义之人，皇帝怎能任用呢？」坚持不肯去。再次召还他，他上书说：「我的妻子、儿子，坟墓都在雍国，我又得了一种怪病，是不能再回到中原了。」绍圣帝听了流下眼泪，对参政陈元凤说：「王叔竟然如此深得国人的拥戴呀！」于是赐给了他在中原的家人很多礼物，不再提起这件事了。

雍烈王去世以后，他的儿子文王即位，重用徐定国为司徒卿。邻郡告急的时候，安廷曾与徐定国一起率兵救援，打败了来犯的土人，因此徐定国对他十分看重。司空卿吕则敦是他在白水潭时的同学，也想将他引入朝廷，以排斥卫氏的影响，于是上书给文王说：「贾安廷在中央朝廷（宋廷）曾经做过谏官，有刚直不阿的名声。任用他做纳言，可以查遗补缺。」文王认为贾安廷在外任官多年，是一个可靠的人，就提拔他做了纳言。贾安廷在任时执法严厉，不顾及情面。他刚一上位，就练练弹劾上卿，以至于吕则敦。左右私下里告诉他：「您能坐上这个职务，靠得是吕司空的推荐呀。何况纳言只负责监察，您怎么能随便弹劾上卿呢？」贾安廷正色说：「我连石子明的淫威都不怕，难道还畏惧吕司士吗？纳言是负责进言的职官，如何不能弹劾大臣？况且我并非风闻言事，每一条都有依据，为什么不能弹劾呢？」于是吕则敦被罢官，离开东雍去担任镇南郡的郡守，三年后才回朝担任司士卿。

文王对他十分看重，想提拔他做司空卿。他摘下帽子谢绝说：「司空卿是上卿，不是我能够胜任的。」于是又要超升他做上卿，他再次谢绝：「我并非不喜欢官爵，但没有军功的人不能做上卿，这是国家的法度。如果随意破坏法度，那么官爵也就不值得我喜爱了。」于是一直到文王去世，他依然只是纳言，总共做了有十五年之久。

雍康王三年（西元1125年），司徒卿吕则敦挟持君王作乱，贾安廷事先察觉，让儿子暗中回鲁阳郡召集私兵赶来勤王。之后众卿合力讨伐吕则敦，安廷力排众议，让上卿们坐镇后方。他和其他四纳言亲自率领甲士攻入吕则敦的府中，将其擒获，押送到王宫里，当面弹劾的罪过，然后将他处死，灭了他的三族。吕则敦在卧室中被抓获时十分惊讶，见到贾安廷后，张口就问：「你忘记汴梁的事情了吗？」贾安廷十分严肃地回答他：「我的志向从来也没有发生过变化，你的志向到什么地方去了呢？」吕则敦惭愧不能回答。

平定吕则敦之乱后，众卿都受到封赏，只有贾安廷闷闷不乐。康王以为他是嫌弃赏赐不公，就问他想要什么赏赐。贾安廷站起来大声说道：「战胜外国、蛮夷，才算是军功；如今我没有斩杀一个人，只是抓住一个老头，有什么功劳可言呢？吕则敦图谋作乱，已经不是一年两年了，我没有一次上书向殿下弹劾此事，是我的过失。想当初，大家披荆斩棘，不分彼此，才有今天的功业。想想那些在我面前因为瘴疠而死去的同伴和下属，真是感到悲伤呀！」竟然令庆功宴不欢而散。回去后，上书要求致仕，回鲁阳郡养老。康王不得已才同意了他的要求，而将他的儿子提拔为上卿。

回到鲁阳后不久，贾安廷就生病去世了，终年大概七十岁，一生都没有成为上卿。他的谥号最初是忠端，后来改为文端。

Naruto: A New Beginning Wikia

## Welcome to Naruto: A New Beginning!!!

Welcome. This is a T-1 Naruto based role-play that takes place in an alternate dimension, which means none of the character's ever existed but the villages, weapons, tailed-beast and etc still do. We encourage those who wish to join to make their own RPC (Role-playing character) from any clan from the series unless told otherwise and to have fun. We are new so bare with us and help us grow and never be afraid contribute any ideas or help out in any way!

## Rules

1. You must be able to utilize T-1 style role-play. If you can not then you won't be accepted but if you can come close or on par with the style then you will be able to join but sent to the Academy to help your posting skills as well as develop your character.
2. No God-mode. This pretty much explains it self but to further elaborate here are the don'ts: Even though you are a shinobi, take stamina, hunger, and breathing into account, everything you do in real life should be utilized in role-play. You're not going to walk around not eating, breathing or ever getting tired. But you also have to keep in mind your Chakra Pool as well when you battle or do missions, even if you're a Joinin-level shinobi doesn't mean you can do back-to-back Fire balls without it draining your chakra or tiring you out. Now we're not saying you can't, but keep in mind you do have more Chakra then Genin or Chuunin but don't go crazy. Another thing, if you have the honor of being the host to one of the Tailed-beast, you have a large amount of Chakra at your disposal and power, all we ask is for you to not go overboard with it, regulate it because if not the beast will be taken away. Now, last but not least, take hits. I know it's hard to see your RPC get hurt or lose a limb but you must take hits, It's not like every Jutsu kills you, though most do an immense amount of damage. If you are seen dodging every attack then you will be flagged.
3. This isn't a rule, more of a ban but will be enforced as a rule. Perfect Susanno'o will not be available for any Uchiha ever, other than this everything else is obtainable, including Rinnegan but will be nearly impossible to get. So for all Uchiha know that you can only utilize one part of the body at once. So for defense it would be the ribs, for the attack one arm. Also, Mangekyo Sharingan will be earned IC (In-character) unless told otherwise. So do not approach us and say you have Mangekyo Sharingan and try to present a "Backstory" for it. The same goes for Rinnegan and any other unique, powerful Kekkei Genkai.
4. Don't talk about fight club.
5. Remember to always have fun. ^^

Ravan Nassar

**Ravan Nassar** is a member of the Suicide Squad and a former prisoner at Guantanamo Bay. He used to be a general in Kahndaq.

## Biography

### Hunt the Artifact

#### Assault the Iron Temple

Ravan was part of the Suicide Squad led by Amanda Waller that infiltrated the Iron Temple, killing the assassin scouts of the League. In the Temple itself he faced Malcolm Merlyn together with Captain Boomerang. He was present when Waller returned from the deep catacombs with the artifact and killed Talibah because she touched it.

He and the rest of the Suicide Squad cornered Malcolm Merlyn and Nyssa al Ghul and he, Waller and Cupid took the artifact with them. When Waller prepared the airhooks to have them picked up, she ordered Ravan to set the explosive charges. She abandoned him however when soldiers from the Zambesian army arrived. He managed to get back inside and to the roof, only to be abandoned again when Digger Harkness pinned him to the wall with a boomerang to be left at the mercy of the soldiers and the League of Assassins.

Ravan got surrounded by the soldiers, but untimely was saved by Malcolm Merlyn. After seeing the plane with Waller leave, Ravan begs Malcolm to kill him, but Malcolm says he is taking him with him. When Nyssa comes with an escape route, Ravan stays behind to hold off the soldiers and allow Malcolm and Nyssa. He gets locked up against a pillar when the captain of the soldiers arrives, torturing him, but he resists the torture. The captain reveals himself to be a very much alive Rael Rha'as, saying everyone has a breaking point.

Sea of Ice

The Sea of Ice is the ocean that borders the northern continent. It's notable for its freezing temperatures and thick sheets of ice that cover the surface.

Its size is currently unknown since few venture that far up north and even fewer sail in these waters. Although, some tribesmen who live in these lands say that there are land masses countless miles away. It is known, however, that these waters are very treacherous and filled with large marine sea creatures like spotted whales, narwhales, walruses, squid, and the like. Not to mention the long sheets of ice make it difficult for boats to get through.

Rough storms and icy hail are common here. It's actually very rare to a clear sky this far north because clouds are almost always blotting out the entire sky. Very little to no trees grow here and one would have to traverse back over the snowy wasteland over mountains to return to the forests for wood.

The Tsuchikage's residence seems to be the tallest structure with a cone-shaped roof and bears the kanji for "Earth" (土, *Tsuchi*) on it.

The standard attire for Iwa shinobi consists of red outfit — which can either have one, or both sleeves — a lapel which is usually found on the side without a sleeve and a brown flak jacket — which also may, or may not have a pouchATTACHED to it.

吕怀梁

吕怀梁（西元1041年—西元1123年）是雍国建国初期的首任司士卿。从雍烈王八年（西元1092年）设立这个职务，到雍文王三年（西元1113年）致仕，他一直担任这个职务，并亲手为雍国司士府庞大而完善的档案馆奠下了基石，以至于这个档案馆的馆藏后来被人称为「吕司士文库」。但除此之外，似乎他的一生并没有什么值得称道的事情，不但远不如他的儿子——手握雍国权柄垂二十年、挫败宋廷对继承人问题干涉的一代名相吕则敦，甚至在雍国创业公卿中差不多是垫底。难怪有人说，要不是有一本伪托他口吻写作的历史书《雍鉴》传世，他几乎要被我们遗忘。

然而，率领一族数十口南渡，与众人披荆斩棘一手创立雍国基业的吕怀梁，真的只是这样一个靠着自己儿女坐享禄位的无能之辈吗？透过司士府那堆积如山的档案，我们又能发现什么呢？

## **吕氏家族**

吕怀梁是磁州昭德吕氏的第四代族长。他的祖先，可以追溯到艺祖朝的元勋吕余庆（讳胤）。早在大宋建立之前，吕余庆就是艺祖的判官。就在艺祖驾崩前不久，吕余庆先行一步，当时他已经成为副相，以不争禄位而颇有人缘。他去世后并没有留下子孙，因此幽州安次吕氏的栋梁就转到的弟弟吕端手中。这位吕端，就是太宗朝「大事不糊涂」的那位宰相。

虽然吕余庆没有子孙，但是这样有名望的人并不会就此绝嗣。吕怀梁的高祖父，就是吕余庆的嗣子。这位籍籍无名的祖先在国子监博士的职位上英年早逝后，家内又不幸发生了骚动。继承了家主地位的嫡子感到了年长庶兄的威胁，认为他的能力远胜过自己，因此在母亲和家族长辈的支持下，将他排挤出了京城，以选人的地位到河北定州就职。而这位庶兄，就是磁州昭德吕氏的第一代族长吕诠。

当时正是宋真宗咸平（西元998年—西元1003年）年间，契丹人正在河北驰骋。咸平六年（西元1002年），契丹人围攻定州望都县，与宋军主力展开决战。吕诠正在望都公干，城破时也遭到契丹军的俘虏。幸好在被带往幽州的途中，他乘间逃脱，经历一个月的潜行，才又回到定州。从此，吕诠与在汴京的家族断绝了联系。后来，吕诠一度弃职投入寇准的幕府，但最终因对寇准上天书邀宠（天禧三年，西元1019年）不满，称病辞职。在寇准的帮助下，吕诠在河北路磁州昭德县（熙宁撤并州县时废入滏阳县为镇）置地十余顷（一说十五顷），家于是，开创了「昭德吕氏」。

吕诠的家产在昭德县南部的丘陵地带，去县城十五里。附近荒山闲田甚多，也有太行山的贼寇盘踞。吕诠在迁居之前，首先在长安（寇准时任山南东道节度使判永兴军）招募佃户十余家同行，之后才率一家十多口人启程。到达昭德后，吕诠用剩下的家资设修建了简单的防御设施，之后才修筑馆舍，这一系列行动不但为吕家庄之后多次击退山贼奠定了基础，可能也给日后的吕怀梁以许多启发。

安定下来后，吕诠居乡不问世事，一心督促家人和佃户开垦新田、拓展家业。同时，也和附近的豪族建立了团练连保的机制。除此以外，他根据自己的经验，写下了一本家训。特别奇怪的是，其中包括许多军事方面的内容。大约十余年后——也就是宋仁宗天圣年间（西元1030年前后）——吕诠在家乡去世，年五十有余。这时他的东翁——莱国公寇准已经贬死雷州多年了。

吕诠死后，两代家主持续扩大家业。他们不断开垦新田，从相州和京畿招募因黄河水害而流离失所的流民，也收购附近邻居的田地，给予他们类似永佃的权利。另外也兼营丝织工场及在当地十分流行的民窑（磁州窑）瓷业。与此同时，他们亲自或让亲人去参加文武考试，取得各种官职，以为他们在官场上寻得保护。在这些人勤勉的经营下，到第四代族长吕怀梁即位的时候，昭德吕氏一族已经扩大到八十余人，拥有田地上百顷。居住在吕家庄内、完全依附他们的奴婢、佃客等，有七十余家、四百余口；散居在外，也部分地租种吕氏名下田地的人，另有二十多家、一百五十余口。再加上团练村塾的教师、农忙时的帮工等，广义上吕家庄的人口可达上千人。

## **吕怀梁**

吕怀梁本人出生于庆历二年（西元1042年）的九月。这一年对于吕氏来说是喜忧参半的一年，因为就在吕怀梁出生后不到一个月，由泾原路经略安抚招讨副使葛怀敏率领的一支宋军野战主力在定川寨为西夏人击歼，损失9400人以上。这其中也包括追随葛怀敏从河北前往陕西赴任的吕怀梁叔祖父内殿崇班吕由珍、族伯左殿直吕仁、叔父三班奉职吕仹等数人。一时间，吕氏丧事连连。由此，吕怀梁之父吕仲亦决定不许儿子再走武官道路，一定要让他读书成才，将来好高中进士、「名列馆阁」。

熙宁十八年（西元1085年）初，宋高宗赵顼大行，勾当皇城司事石得一谋叛。此事的主谋被认为是雍烈王，烈王也因此而一时被软禁于府中。宫变之前，坊间已有雍烈王欲图谋不轨的谣言，「偕行社」多数人认为这是旧党阴谋，誓言勤王，甚至有过激派主张刺杀烈王（具有讽刺意味的是，根据《雍鉴》的披露，此人就是后来出仕烈王，长期担任鲁阳郡守，最后参与诛讨吕则敦的贾安廷）。因此，意欲前往王府向雍王示警的吕则敦看到王府戒严，第一反应就是雍王遇刺。大为震怖的他不顾阻拦冲入府中，结果和雍王全家一起遭到软禁。

雍王事坏，吕怀梁一族当然不能苟免，河北路转运使陆师闵乘机强迫其购买大量盐债。吕怀梁虽然通过种种手腕得以保全了部分家产，没有落到烈王正妃京兆卫家那种除了一张盐债券外一无所获的地步，但最终还是不得不痛下决断，处理掉了河北的全部产业，举族随雍王就封。不过，也正由于吕怀梁狡兔三窝的关系，他所保留下来的部分产业，成为了雍国早期重要的一笔启动资金。

雍王就封这一年，吕怀梁四十四岁。对于前半生的心血乃至一门四代六十六年的经营，他当然不会没有然和留恋。然而，尽管依依不舍，他还是不得不率一族七十八口踏上了南渡之路，从此再也未能返回故乡。从杭州启程时，吕氏一族，并其奴婢及代雍王招募的随行工匠、农户、矿徒（全部是吕怀梁在河北时的雇员、佃户）等，总计一百二十余人，是雍国首批移民队中相当重要的一支。此外，吕怀梁那正在荆湖南路道州通判的堂弟吕怀杼虽避嫌辞职，但依旧以官身居杭州，充分利用其在旧党、石党中的人脉关系，为雍国招贤纳士。

出仕雍国以后，吕怀梁的经历如上所述，长期担任司士卿。虽然经常在史书中出现（特别是向烈王举荐各种人才时），但总体来说并不引人注目。很多人偏激地认为他与「烈王四卿」其他（司徒卿卫棠、司空卿李承简、司寇卿徐定国）比较起来简直是尸位素餐，更无法与他的儿子——早期活跃于雍国开拓第一线，之后又入柄朝政的滏阳县侯吕则敦相提并论。更有人揣测他只不过是雍王用来对抗另一大外戚卫氏影响的工具而已。然而，事实上他不但在司士卿的任上厘定了雍国的基本礼仪制度，并且为雍国早期的手工业振兴作出了巨大贡献。他在的存在，确实是对在朝野影响力巨大的京兆卫氏的一种制衡。通过联姻（徐定国前来雍国时抛弃了自己在本土的发妻，他在绍圣七年娶了吕妃所生的郡主【时年十四岁，比徐定国本人年少二十岁左右】），这种制衡最终发展成了在文王时能够左右雍国政局的徐定国—吕则敦同盟。然而，也正是这个角色，最终导致了吕则敦乃至整个吕氏家族的不幸。

或许，吕怀梁早已预见到了这一点，故而才会在儿子与外孙女婿掌握朝政之时早早致仕，隐遁山林的吧。根据近代发现的墓志铭，他卒于崇宁十八年（西元1122年），也就是雍康王元年，幸运地没有看到爱子的惨死和自己所苦心维持的一族的覆灭（康王三年【西元1124年】之变）。或许，这是因为他晚年修道有成吧。
Land of Iron

The Land of Iron (鉄の国, *Tetsu no Kuni*) is an icy, snow-covered country. It is politically unusual in that it has remained neutral and never been involved in the ninja wars. In fact, the shinobi have a rule since long ago that they would not meddle with the land. Despite this, it is said to have an incredibly strong military which is manned by samurai, instead of ninja.

## Samurai Bridge

This unnamed bridge is located in the **Land of Iron**. It is built out of blue stones and features a large gate at one end, somewhat resembling a torii, emblazoned with the kanji for *samurai* (侍). On top of the gate is a large, stone statue of a sheathed sword with weights hanging on both ends.
Kim Jong-il

**Kim Jong-il** is one of Owen's Pidgey, and a very nice lady. I was just thinking, do you think that in the bird world, they use the poles that sometime stick out of birdhouses as poles for pole dancing. I guess they're horizontal, so that might be hard, bu maybe they fly. What would flying pole-dancing be like. Oh man, what about zero-gravity pole dancing, now that would be nice. I wonder what'd be like too have sex in space. Or just to cum in space, I mean, it'd would just sorta floart there. Would the sperm die, do sperm breathe. Aw man, how fucked up would it be to be a self-aware sperm, and to fail to rech the egg. Oh shit, it'd be even worse if it was just a jerk-off, imagine being the sperm thats gets shot out during a JO, that'd be so shitty. It's like imagine, trainging your whole life tobe a firefighter, but you only get sent out on a practice mission, then you just sorta die. Huh. Oh yeah, I had this great ideo for a superhero; Firefighter Man. He use a variety of axes, like how Green Arrow uses arrows, maybe hes havea robaotic hose hand, and his mask would be a fireman's oxygen mask. Then he could use two hoses on his back as a jetpack to fly around, and he could stop criminals and fires, he'd be like Billy Blazes from Rescue Heroes, shit, does anyone remember Rescue Heroes, that was the shit! It wasn't serious, but holy shit, it was just so fun and it could even have some good drama, once in a while. The first 3 season were on charter-on-demand, making it useful 4 once, but then they replaced it with shitty-ass season 4, where they redesined all the characters, changed the voice actors and is SUCKED. Remember wen Charter-on-Dmeand was like our Netlic, but Netlix is like 100x better than on Demand. I'm sorry, it was 3 AM when I wrote this and I'm drunk on life.
