Chapter 195: Black Dragon Country
July 19 is the day of the opening and closing of Beiyiguan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe bloody battle more than half a month ago came and went quickly, and it failed to affect the footsteps of the border trade merchants. The fifteenth has been switched on and off once, and Cangyun has seen tens of thousands of troops passing through, going to and from the border passes, all kinds of caravans, not only the merchants of the Celestial Empire in the Guannei, but also the merchants of the Western Regions and the East China Sea, if you want to go to the northern countries, Beiyi Pass is the only way to go.
Before the switch, the dawn had not yet arrived, and the sky was still dark. Liu Laosi drove the carriage and stopped between the two heavy gates of Beiyi Pass. In order to strengthen the defense, Beiyi Pass has two gates, in case one gate is breached, there is a second defense, and at the same time, there is a mechanism at the top of the pass, which can shoot the enemy who breaks through the first gate. There is a lot of space between these two doors.
Hu Tianli led the team, Song Renhe, Liu Dong, and Yelu followed closely behind, and there were many soldiers behind. The dragon protector does not belong to the army, and Liu Tongxuan stood aside with the dragon protector.
"Lord Wang, how many more days of rest?" Hu Tianli asked.
Jin Yu said: "The day of the sacrifice of the deceased mother is the sixth day of the eighth month, and this king will send envoys to the three major countries, so it cannot be delayed any longer." Besides, General Cang and his fellow disciples have recovered from their injuries. ā
Liu Tongxuan was a little displeased, and said: "Lord, you really don't need our dragon protection to continue to defend?" A day ago, Jinyu said that he was going to set off, and told Liu Tongxuan and the others that they didn't need to protect him anymore, and let the dragon guard and his party go back to Beijing to restore their lives, Liu Tongxuan thought of the strength of Cangyun and a few people, and couldn't help but have this thought, he didn't say it at the time, and now he still can't help but ask.
Jin Yu smiled dumbly: "Protector Liu Long, why do you say this? Let you protect this king again, not to mention what General Cangyun thinks, this king himself feels shameless to face his father." The first person in this dynasty to use the dragon protector was this king, right? If the dragon protector himself followed him to worship the deceased mother, how would the king deal with himself after returning to Beijing?"
The most important reason is that Jinyu and Liu Tongxuan are always uncomfortable together, far less happy than with Cangyun and others, and Jinyu doesn't know much about the dragon protectors, who knows who is who's henchman?
Liu Tongxuan only thought about strength, forgot these basic truths, and listened to what Jinyu said, Liu Tongxuan woke up, and secretly said that Jinyu is really not simple, he is really old, he is too obsessed with cultivation, and he has forgotten the basic survival rules of the royal family.
"Imperial family, why am I so unfamiliar with court affairs?What am I doing in practice?" Liu Tongxuan asked himself secretly. For a moment, Liu Tongxuan looked up to the sky and smiled.
Hu Tianli whispered in Liu Dong's ear: "Liu Dong, is your grandfather crazy?"
Liu Dong was dumbfounded: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Tongxuan smiled, and the state of the whole person changed: "Thank you Lord Wang, I can finally let go." ā
Jin Yu fell into the fog: "Put down what?"
Su Murong saw some clues, stepped forward, and said, "Congratulations to the Dragon Protector, the ascension is just around the corner." ā
Liu Tongxuan listened to Jinyu's words just now, and suddenly had an epiphany, broke through the long-term shackles, and finally let go of the court he had served for a long time, let go of the royal family, opened his mind, and finally reached the realm of immortals, just waiting for the condensation of mana and waiting for ascension.
Liu Dong is overjoyed, it is supreme glory to have immortal elders in the family, who will dare to bully the Liu family in the future?
Everyone congratulated Liu Tongxuan, and after Liu Tongxuan's mood broke through, he no longer insisted on mortal affairs, and said: "Lord Wang, since you don't need the dragon guard, let's go back to Beijing to resume our lives." Dong'er, come, let grandpa take another look at you. ā
Liu Dong woke up from the surprise, his grandfather's ascension is to go to another world, in a sense, it is similar to returning to the west, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in the future.
"Grandpa. Liu Dong thought of Liu Tongxuan's love for him when he was a child, and he whimpered a little.
"Okay, I've seen it. Lord, I'll go back to Beijing. Liu Tongxuan said, first turned into a golden light and left, and the other dragon protector members looked at each other, hurriedly said goodbye to Jinyu and left with Liu Tongxuan.
"Grandpa, you birdman, you said you saw it before I moved. Liu Dong's face was full of black lines, thinking that he was moved for a long time.
Seeing off Liu Tongxuan, it was time for Jinyu to set off.
"General Hu, we are also leaving, please open and close the door. Jinyu said.
"Yes!" Hu Tianli replied and said loudly: "Open and close the door!"
Cangyun and a few people walked up a few steps: "Liu Dong, let's go, we have a chance to meet again." ā
Liu Dong laughed and said: "Of course it's no problem, I still have a long time here, but you, don't be happy, fly up like my grandfather, then it will be difficult to say goodbye." ā
"Haha, are we that good? It's going to take a year or two. "Ping Qing got carried away.
"Mr. Song, it's fate to meet twice, so let's quit. Murong Su said.
Song Renhe's chick voice and ladylike spirit flared up again, holding the hands of Murong Su, Zhu Xue, and Suzaku, and he was really a little sad: "Although you have a high cultivation, you must also pay attention to safety." The expression was similar to that of the aunt, Murong Su and the three of them were quite moved, and there was always a little sadness among the women.
"It's getting late, let's hit the road. Su Murong said.
"Congratulations to the prince!"
Hu Tianli led the soldiers to salute first, and kept waving his hand after getting up.
Liu Laosi raised his horsewhip: "Drive!"
The carriage started, and the people of Beiyi Pass slowly disappeared from view. Outside the pass, Cangyun has long seen the scenery well, and the vision of Beiyi Pass is very good. When I exited the customs, the morning sun was rising.
Look back.
A large number of business travelers have been flooded with closed doors, and Liu Dong and his party cannot be seen at all.
"It's finally out. Cangyun was very excited for no reason.
"Not really. Ping Jian lay lazily in the corner of the carriage, which had been modified and was very comfortable.
Zhu Xue said: "It's only now called to go down the mountain to play, how easy it is." ā
Cangyun said: "I don't know if there are any assassins who are chasing and killing." ā
Su Murong said: "After the two battles of Pengshui Lake and Beiyi Pass, the assassins will probably be killed and wounded, and there will be no more assassins in a short time." ā
Pingqing immediately shouted, "Is that it?"
Murong Su immediately interrupted: "I still have to form a sword formation every day. ā
Pingqing was the same as eating Coptis chinensis: "Ah, why do you still have to form a sword formation?"
"Practice, this is what the master ordered, if the third junior brother thinks he can withstand the Qingtian Sword, he can play everywhere. Murong Su said with a smile.
The four of them wanted to cry without tears, and silently made the corner of the carriage, and there was a small group of ghosts behind them.
Several people laughed for a long time, and Jin Yu said: "We also want to send envoys to the three major countries in the north, Beitian, Tianhan, and Heilong, of which Beitian and Tianhan are the two largest countries in the north, accounting for almost sixty percent of the entire north, and the black dragon occupies two percent of the land, and the remaining two percent of the land is scattered in more than 30 small countries. Now in the northern sky, Tianhan has also concluded an alliance, which is actually equivalent to a big country, and the national strength is strong. It was because of my father's concern for these two countries that I was asked to send an envoy. ā
Jinyu no longer calls himself the prince in front of Cangyun and a few people, and completely considers himself an old friend.
"Then we're going to Beitian and Tianhan now?" Cangyun asked.
Jin Yu shook his head: "I think we should go to the Black Dragon first to see what the attitude of the Black Dragon Country Lord is." Second, the black dragon is farther north than Beitian and Tianhan, and we have to pass through these two countries to go to Heilong first, so we can win over Heilong to a certain extent, and also let Beitian and Tianhan know our attitude, don't be arrogant. ā
Su Murong said with a smile: "Jinyu, you are better at these aspects, so we will concentrate on being bodyguards." ā
"The prince is mighty!" Cangyun shouted.
Jinyu laughed twice: "Laugh at me again." This is a long way to go to Heilong, and according to the normal speed, I will definitely not be able to complete the mission on the sixth day of the eighth month, and reach my mother's grave. ā
"Hey, yes, how dare you disobey the prince's orders. ā
Cangyun laughed, and quietly put talismans on the two horses, the carriage, and Liu Laosi. The carriage immediately entered the flying state, Liu Lao Simei screamed, and the two military horses neighed continuously.
The carriage was moving on the ground, and a red-robed man watched silently in the air.
"Those pieces of waste, they really need to do it themselves. The red-robed man snorted coldly: "Jinyu, I won't let you arrive first, it must be me who arrives first!"
After two days of galloping, the carriage approached the capital city of Heilong.
"So fast, so fast. Liu Laosi is still immersed in the fun of galloping.
"It's still early, let's go into the city first, I'll go to the embassy to hand over the papers, and I'll go to see the black dragon king tomorrow." You can go around. Jinyu said.
"Let's go to the embassy with you first, and we'll go shopping. Cangyun Road.
It is normal for the imperial court to set up an embassy in the capital of Heilongguo, which is a manifestation of the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The embassy of the Celestial Empire is naturally magnificent, the architectural style integrates the characteristics of the two countries, and the palace style of the Central Plains is piled up with the unique big black stone in the north.
Jinyu is the identity of the prince, Cangyun is the identity of the general, and he was warmly welcomed in the embassy. Jinyu simply handed over the affairs, informed the embassy to inform the Black Dragon King, and asked people to arrange accommodation, and the group left the embassy and wandered around the Black Dragon Capital.
The degree of wealth in the north is far less than that of the Central Plains, but the capital of the black dragon should not be underestimated, the buildings are mostly made of black stones, which are unusually solid and solid, very stocky, windproof, and keeping warm are the primary tasks of the building, except for one building in the entire capital, which is the embassy of the Celestial Empire. The northern buildings are not high on the ground, and the highest point of the palace is only ten floors. The habit of northerners is to dig deep underground, and below the surface of the earth is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is a good way to cope with the severe cold. It's summer now, and the temperature on Heilong's side is still like the early winter of the Heavenly Empire, and it's snowing all the time on Heilong's northern border.
The clothing, food, and living habits of the northerners are different from those in the south, and Cangyun and his party look at it while walking, and they think it is very interesting. Buy some roadside snacks and eat them with relish, Murong Su and the three beauties take care of some clothing stores from time to time, try on national costumes, and the shopkeeper is hospitable and beautiful, and they are popular everywhere. Jinyu is generous, and a few people can buy whatever they like, anyway, the embassy should be reimbursed.
The eight of them were talking and laughing on the street, and they came across a skinny beggar whose face was black and blue, and he was wearing very few clothes.
Murong Su looked pitiful, saw that Su Murong still had a sweet cake in his hand, and said, "Let's go over and give it to the beggar." "Say it, look at Su Murong with a pulse.
When Su Murong saw Murong Su's eyes, he lost his mind for a moment, and immediately reacted, turned his face away, and said, "Okay, let's go." ā
The two walked up to the beggar, Murong Su took the cake and said, "Come, eat." ā
The beggar raised his head gratefully, trembling and said, "Thank you, many, you, you!" The beggar was so excited that he couldn't help himself, forced his emotions, and trembled and stretched out his finger to Su Murong and said, "Sir, is your surname Su?"
