Kaifeng, also known as Bianliang, is the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty, although its scale is not the largest city in the Great Song Dynasty, but its prosperity is absolutely incomparable to any other city in the Great Song Dynasty.

Legend has it that more than 8,000 years ago, after the collapse of the Daqian Dynasty, the former overlord of the Northern Regions, there were first-class princes who built a city here and named it Kaifeng, which means to open up the frontier and hope to regain the glory of their ancestors.

It's just that after endless years, the prince's ambition was finally forgotten by the world along with his name, but this Kaifeng City was retained by generations of rising heroes.

Five thousand years ago, when the Northern Regions were full of hundreds of countries, the King of Wei moved the capital here and named it Daliang; Three thousand five hundred years ago, Liang Taizu built the capital of Kaifeng and changed its name to Dadu; And after the former Han Dynasty, the Later Zhou, the Southern Chu, and the Northern Yan generations of brilliant meteor-like emperors all took this place as the national capital, until 500 years ago, Song Taizu, who laid down 400 cities with a coiled dragon stick in his hand, also became the capital again, so Kaifeng is known as the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties.

Kaifeng City, located next to the Grand Canal, has undergone a change of dynasties, but the scenery is still the same, many buildings of the previous dynasties have not been damaged much by the war, and the people who have lived here for generations and even generations have not seen a bloody killing. It also brings together the food of the entire dynasty, and the endless street food is enough to make any traveler want to linger, not to mention the Lantern Festival Night Market on the Yuan Festival, which is a grand festival for which the city boils.

Therefore, comfort has been imprinted in the bones of the people of the imperial capital, limiting their vision and closing their hearts.

Therefore, when the herald of Gucheng galloped all the way through the street with an urgent document of 800 miles, the people who were busy buying New Year's goods all avoided the people with a kind of surprise when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and after the herald passed, what was left was not the fear of these people for the coming war, but only a little curiosity, and even most of the people were indifferent and continued to buy things at home.

Five hundred years of peace in the four seas have made the people at the feet of these heavens forget the cruelty of the war, not to mention the Mengjia family with the name of the god of war guarding the fortified city, these people only feel that this war is the same as the previous invasion, and the flames of war will only burn outside the fortified city. Therefore, all they care about is which Qinglou girl is prettier, which shop sells cheaper things, and whether the waist bag on their waist is enough to marry a concubine, after all, the war really has nothing to do with their lives.

When the herald handed over the paperwork that weighed more than a thousand catties to the guards outside the Xuande Gate, the middle-aged man who had not dared to rest for a moment finally fell down with a relieved smile.

After settling the heralds, the leader of the Praetorian Guard breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the sky, and saw that it was already noon, so he took a step and prepared to find a place to enjoy his lunch.

However, he didn't go far before he ran back in a hurry, because only then did he remember that the document he had just held in his hand had not yet been handed over to Shangguan.

In this way, after a small twist and turn, the documents sent by the eight hundred miles of Gucheng were finally handed to the emperor's desk, and he lay there quietly waiting for the supreme ruler of the dynasty to approve it.

Hanhai, located in the north of Gucheng, covers an area of about 25,000 miles, in which the four seasons are constantly turning, the scene is very strange.

On the endless desert road leading to Hanhai, a long procession of white camels slowly moved forward, led by a middle-aged man with a meaty face. I saw that he was wearing a sunhat made of water rhinoceros skin, his eyes squinting and staring ahead, occasionally untying the water bladder around his waist and pouring it, and then let out a comfortable moan, and his eyebrows were full of joy.

There were four companions behind him, because the clothes on their bodies had long been blown by the wind and sand, and their faces were covered with scarves, so they could not tell whether they were men or women, but the eyes that appeared under the brim of the hat flashed to show the anger of the master.

The sky was incomparably blue, pure and there was not a single white cloud to be seen, but all this could not be imagined, the sun high in the sky destroyed everything, it was like a torch that kept baking the earth, and the heat did not seem to make the earth's lips dry and faint.

The five of them sat sparsely on the white camel, no one spoke, and after half a month's journey, the repetition of the monotonous desert scenery had long made people tired, and the heat might not be a terrible thing, but coupled with loneliness, it was enough to make people feel mad.

After taking another sip of the wine contained in the water bladder, the middle-aged man in the lead burped with satisfaction, and then turned back to face everyone, "Everyone, the journey is lonely, I think you are also difficult, I have a good proposal, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Fierce tiger, if you have a fart, let it go, the old lady is not in the mood to listen to your nonsense here." An unpleasant voice sounded, looking for prestige, only to see a person on the white camel slightly raised his weak head, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Hahaha, I'm in a good mood today, uncle, so I'll send you a kind heart to perform my unique skills for free, how about it?" Wen Shan smiled faintly.

"Oh, this is a novelty, why did your fierce tiger suddenly change his temper, isn't it because his brain was burned by this scorching sun?" A cold voice sounded, and even in the scorching heat of the desert, it still made people shiver.

"What's the matter, black dove, do you think Lao Tzu will perform in vain, each of you will give me something that I am satisfied with, otherwise Lao Tzu will not play you like a monkey." Wen Shan said with a disdainful face, his eyes were bright, but the meaning expressed in his words was that he would not eat at all.

"I can see Wenshan, your unique skills, Ye is very much looking forward to it, I have a yellow-level intermediate body method here to float on the water, after practice, when wading in the water, it is like walking on the ground, although the grade is not high, but it is also rare, how about it?" At the end of the team, Ye Xiao, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes at some point and said lightly.

"It's not very useful, but it sounds like a novelty, and you can." Wen Shan nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, the next moment a blue cheatbook was taken out of Ye Xiao's arms and thrown to him, Wen Shan took it and stuffed it directly into the cloth bag on his waist without looking at it, but his eyes turned to the rest of the people.

"Master Ye is really generous, the cheats of the body method have always been scarce, and he actually gave them away just to watch the play, it seems that the little lady and I can't lag behind others, otherwise I will be laughed at by you." The black widow said, and then took out a small cyan porcelain bottle from her waist, and said casually, "Storm Blood Pill, two grade pills, the moment you take it, you can stimulate the potential of the human body to recover all injuries, a stick of incense is full of qi and blood, infinite energy, and the combat power is almost invincible at the same level, but after the effect of the medicine, the vitality will be greatly damaged, and during the period of weakness for a month, only half of the combat power is left." ”

"A good thing, even if the sequelae are relatively long, but they can be used to save their lives in critical moments." The cold voice sounded again, and there was a hint of longing in the words.

"A one-time consumable thing and has sequelae, that's it, it's barely okay." Wen Shan commented calmly, unable to see any expression.

"Hmph." The black widow snorted heavily, her eyebrows furrowed, but the porcelain bottle in her hand was thrown to Wen Shan.

"Look at you, old fellow, to be honest, you are the oldest among us, and you have been to the most places, and there must be a lot of treasures, don't disappoint me." Wen Shan said expectantly.

"Fierce Tiger, my treasures are indeed many, but what can make you like them is pitifully rare. So, so be it, as long as I have it, I will not be stingy if you open your mouth. The black dove said, putting on a bold and generous posture.

"Yes, since you say so, then I'm not welcome, let's get a few catties of your carrion powder." Wen Shan grinned.

"Fierce tiger, you are really a lion's mouth, carrion powder, and a few catties, you should be a cabbage, there is a bottle of 100 servings, enough for you." Wu Dove said, and then took out a small black wooden bottle from his arms and reluctantly threw it to Wen Shan.

"Well, given that you've always been so stingy, I accept it." Wen Shan said helplessly, but the joy on his face was not concealed at all.

Tie Xuan looked at the few people in front of him with a confused and curious gaze, and his heart was full of puzzlement, what was the charm of the fierce tiger Wenshan's proposal, which could make these people give their treasures to him willingly one by one.

"Boy, don't look at me with a very strange and incomprehensible look, there are some things that you don't know doesn't mean it's not reasonable." After the transaction was completed, Wen Shan moved his gaze to the last person in the team and spoke.

"I'm sorry, I'm just curious, after all, this kind of thing seems so incredible." Tie Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said lightly.

"I don't care about your miscellaneous ideas, my request is very simple, if you want to watch a performance, you can, pay your payment." Wen Shan Dao stretched out his hand towards Tie Xuan.

"I'm curious, if I refuse, what will you do, drive me away?" Tie Xuan asked calmly.

"Not really, how could I be so unreasonable, I just killed you at most." Wen Shan said, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"yes, okay then, this is for you, I hope I won't regret this decision." Tie Xuan smiled faintly and said, his left hand grabbed in the void at will, and he saw a stone with an earthy yellow color appear in his hand, and then threw it to Wen Shan.

Seeing this magical trick like a trick, Wen Shan didn't know how Tie Xuan did it, but this was not what he cared about, so he took the earthy yellow stone and felt it, and then bowed his head slightly to recognize Tie Xuan's reward.

"I promise you won't be disappointed." Wen Shan said, a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a delicate small wine jug appeared in his hand at some point.
