Chapter 44: The Deep Forest of the East
Following
Xia Tan sent a message of worship to the monarch of the Ming State in the name of the Xia State Mission.
When they came to the palace, they only said that they were merchants from the Xia Kingdom to the Ming Kingdom and had sold out the goods. I want to appreciate the style of the Ming Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom is the great power of the five countries. King Ming did not dare to slack off, and even wanted to show the prosperity of his motherland to the people of Xia Kingdom. As a result, their customs clearance documents were quickly approved.
The further east it goes, the more desolate the Ming Kingdom becomes, and many of the plants here are basically dead due to being too close to the place of sunrise.
"I thought that this Ming Kingdom was the closest place to the Moisan Divine Monarch, but I didn't expect that it would become like this in just ten thousand years. Yuan Xing lifted the window, looked at the barren land, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Moisan Divine Monarch. Xia Tan was puzzled, and he didn't know why his heart suddenly trembled after hearing this name!
"Moisan Divine Monarch is a god who has existed since the beginning of Chaos, and he is the earliest of all immortals. I think he was known as a god back then, but because the title of god chief overwhelmed the emperor of heaven, he dared to be called a god king. Jiujiu explained on the side.
"How did you find out? I grew up reading a lot of classics, but I had never heard of them. Which book did you read it from?"
"Qianmo's family is huge.,His family has a lot of out-of-print classics.,Naturally, there are many that you haven't seen.,That's where I saw it.。。 Jiujiu lied without blinking his eyes, and transferred everyone to Qianmo.
"There are indeed many classics in my family, and the history of Moissanite is basically known to everyone in the family. Qianmo replied truthfully.
Xia Tan looked at Jiujiu as if he knew something. Wine has a kind of heart that has been seen through, don't look at each other.
The carriage and horses were driving steadily on the road, and suddenly, there was a neighing of horses, and the body shook rapidly, and everyone was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Xia Tan asked Wu Xing in a deep voice.
"Childe, we're in trouble!" Wu Xing's voice had never been more serious.
A few people opened the car window, only to see a group suddenly appear outside. Armed with hoes, sickles, sticks, and other offensive objects, dressed in mud-covered clothes, they surrounded their wagons and groups.
"This should be the victims!" said Yuan Xing's heavy voice.
"This place is only a hundred miles away from the Jade Capital, how can there be so many victims?"
Yes, the prosperity of the jade capital also allowed them to witness how prosperous the Ming Kingdom was, but they didn't expect that the west of the east was a prosperous scene. And to the east of the east, the victims were forced to block the road and rob.
A few of them have the ability to reach the sky, but they can't do anything to these refugees.
"Tan'er, no. Seeing that Xia Tan was about to get out of the sedan chair, Chilian hurriedly grabbed him and shook his head at him.
"Master, don't worry, I choose to go out, there must be a way to deal with it, you don't have to come out in the sedan chair. ”
After Xia Tan finished speaking, he got out of the carriage directly, and it didn't take long for Xia Tan's steady voice to come in, but what he said was not an official dialect, but a local dialect of the Ming Kingdom.
Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect them to come together, Xia Tan actually learned the Ming Chinese in a short period of time.
"I know that your king is incompetent, and that the sun rises in the east, and there is no crop to harvest, and that he has not placed you in the rich west, but has left you here to die. While he enjoys more benefits for himself, he doesn't care about your life or death, you hate him, but I am not a member of your Ming Kingdom. My coming will save you from this fate. ”
A middle-aged man hesitated, and a stranger suddenly appeared, saying that he could take them out of such a fate. No one would believe it, after all they have been desperate for so long and so many people have died, how can they believe the words of a man who seems to be just a hairy boy?
"I know that you do not believe me, let me go today, and in three days there will be ten carts of grain and grass in return, and then you will decide whether you want me to help you or not, and it will not be for nothing that I will help. You have taken my things and survived on me, and I will naturally be paid for it. It's just that I don't think the rewards are worth much compared to your lives. ”
"How do you want me to believe you?" the leader finally spoke, but his attitude was visibly loose.
"I can't help it, but, I'm sure you won't be able to cross the river of demarcation to exchange food in the city if you take the money, and you come out to rob just to grab some food, but how many things can we put in the carriage? If you are willing to gamble with me, you may survive forever." Why don't you do that?"
The leader of the "......" was silent again. This time, there was a hint of appreciation for the boy's calmness and planning.
Xia Tan didn't need the leader to say what he meant, and turned around. "Three days later, when the grain and grass arrive, when you give me the answer. At that time, I will only use my subordinates to speak for me, and I thank the leader for his trust. ”
After saying that, he got straight into the carriage. "Let's go!"
Wu Xing gave the order, and the carriage slowly moved up. The leader ordered the men to get out of the way, and they left the barren and dry land without hindrance.
"Ten miles away, there are people stationed, and there are even more birds and beasts in the forest, so be careful. ”
The words of the chieftain sounded behind the carriage. Xia Tan smiled slightly, and then didn't make a sound, and the carriage gradually moved away.
The leader, who was standing in the distance and watching the carriage disappear, told his people the news of Xia Tan.
Because this is the hope of their birth.
"What did the leader say at the end?" asked Chilian as she leaned in.
None of the people present would understand the dialect of the Ming Kingdom, the dialect of the Ming Kingdom was close to the ancient language, where could it be known to their group of juniors who had been in the Heavenly Realm since they were born?
"He told me that if we had gone ten miles further, we would go out of the desert and into a forest, but there would be no dwelling in the forest, and it seemed that we would have to take heaven as our quilt and earth as our seat tonight. I'm sleeping in the middle of nowhere, but don't worry, I guess there's a show to watch at night. ”
"Oh, yes, what did you just say outside, and why did he let us go all of a sudden?"
I told him, you let me go, I will have someone bring you food in three days, and he has robbed our dry food. I'll say so. He was sure to be satisfied and let us go. Xia Tan's words are true.
Just in the last sentence, he was reluctant to tell them the truth, because he was desperate to know. Master and these people around Master, what secrets will they have?
The sky was getting dark, and they finally saw the forest that Xia Tan was talking about, but in the forest, there seemed to be an abnormal aura, which made Qianmo Chilian, who had divine sense and mana, frown.
"Xiao Tan'er, lying is not a good boy!" Chilian looked at Xia Tan, staring at him in the eyes, waiting for him to give her an explanation.
"The apprentice is not lying, so tonight the master will know what the apprentice is talking about?"
Xia Tan didn't want to tell the truth, and Chilian couldn't do anything about him, and when he was close to this big forest, Xia Tan suddenly ordered Wu Xing to park the carriage in a barren place, and wrapped the horse's hooves with cloth, and stopped in the most hidden place.
Several people didn't understand why he did this, but they still followed Xia Tan into the forest.
