In early autumn in September, the wind and sun are beautiful.

In the border plains of the Daqing Dynasty, as far as the eye can see, there are endless rice fields, and the sound of neat and loud brushes and cutting rice gathers in the rice fields, such a sound is easy to make the listeners feel happy, and the yellow rice in the hands is easy to make the farmers feel happy, as if holding real money.

The peasants who bent over and worked in the fields cut the golden rice and put it aside, wiped the sweat beads on their heads, and a few field chickens that jumped out of the river passed under the feet of the farmers without fear, and were grabbed by a sharp-eyed farmer and put them into the bamboo basket on the side, thinking that they would take it home tonight and let their mother-in-law stew and add food, and more farmers were concentrating on harvesting rice, and by the way, they chatted about this year's harvest across a few rice lanes.

Heavy snow in February all over the Central Plains, in the year of snow maybe this year's rice will be more than last year, chatting and chatting I don't know who mentioned a stubble, it is said that the prince of Yinguo who defeated the Daqing dragoon in the battle of Feizi Pass, I don't know why he defected out of the country, this matter can make His Majesty the emperor happy for a while, things have not been said too much, was robbed by another farmer with a hoe, no matter if he is the prince of Yinguo or which country the prince defected out of the country, the victory of the concubine pass and the defection of the prince of Yinguo has nothing to do with them, the only thing that farmers are worried about now is whether the next weather will delay their wheat harvesting process and the quality of wheat this year。

The peasants, who were facing the loess with their backs to the sky, were more concerned about the rice in their hands, but they didn't notice that a black van appeared on the official road, slowly walking towards them.

This black carriage looked much shabby compared to the carriages that the freshly dressed and angry horses in Luoyang City rode on, but the true identities of the two people who drove the horses side by side made these peasants shocked.

"How come after getting off the boat from the sea of sunrise, there are rice fields on this side of Qingguo...... When will you see the big city? In September, the rice flowers blow the morning fragrance, and the distant wind blows and dew tens of thousands of acres.

Ying Liyang said calmly: "Actually, I don't think you should be the emperor of Yinguo, and it seems that it is good to be a private school gentleman." ”

Chu Xuan looked at the golden pile of rice and chuckled, "This is a fallacy. ”

Chu Xianzhao leaned on the carriage and looked at the rice field with a happy expression, the rooting mask on his face completely changed his previous appearance, but the color of his eyes still couldn't change, and most of the time he could only squint slightly, covering the purple light in his eyes that was penetrating and easy to reveal his true identity.

Rooting cheeks can change his appearance, but it can't change the thick qi contained in his body, Chu Xianzhao doesn't dare to use the power of qi at will now, because this is the territory of the Daqing Dynasty, once his identity is exposed, it will not only be Queen Zhao who will fly to his head at that time, but hundreds of neat Daqing dragon horses, and it will be difficult to escape even if he has wings.

Ying Liyang told himself

Not only are the two of them the only ones who know the future of the end of the war, but there are other people who have also seen the "revelation" like them, and Ying Liyang went to Nanlu this time to find the whereabouts of these people.

This extremely mysterious spiritual experience is essentially the resonance of heaven and earth, a bit similar to Ying Liyang's ability to wander freely, but for most of the Shadow Moon Sect members, this kind of "revelation" is only once, just to give them a glimpse of the war that happened in the past, and the reason why she chose to come to the Southern Continent is that most of her wishes are to find these Shadow Moon Cultists who have seen the "revelation", they need allies before that war starts, and they need many, many allies to help them.

Ying Liyang told himself that the first step they had to take in coming to Nanlu this time was to find someone who could provide them with the financial resources and army they needed for the revival of Great Qin, and he was also waiting for their arrival. Moreover, his departure from the Yin State this time can temporarily divert the attention of the Yin Emperor and the Qing Emperor, delay the beginning of the outbreak of the North-South War, and disrupt the deployment of the Yin State and the Qing State, so that they have time to find these allies, get the time and troops needed for the rise of Great Qin, and finally raise the banner of Great Qin on the land of Nanlu and overthrow the pattern of the Zhao dynasty's rule over Nanlu.

No matter what Ying Liyang wants to do next, there will always be a battle between Yinguo and Qingguo, and Chu Xuanzhao came to Nanlu this time just to understand the military strength of the countries in Nanlu and make full preparations for future wars.

After the two sailed at sea for a few days, the merchant ship finally arrived at Bailong Harbor on Sunset Beach, Chu Xianzhao just got off the ship and could see the magnificent port, how many merchant ships from the Northern Regions came to the Southern Continent docked here, and the milky white sand beach in front of them, as if across the entire horizon,

The two bought a carriage with the coil that Guo Yu gave him, and in this way they went all the way inland from the frontier of the Daqing Dynasty.

Chu Xianzhao felt the autumn in a foreign country, and really couldn't believe that he was now on the land of the Daqing Dynasty, the rice fields on both sides of the official road were clear and yellow, and when the farmers were harvesting the rice, their children also helped carry the rice, or chased the voles in the field with tea forks, and the rice shook gently around them.

Such a picture in front of him made Chu Xianzhao feel satisfied and peaceful, obviously this is the Daqing Dynasty, not the Dayin Dynasty, and there is actually a feeling that my heart is at peace, that is, my hometown.

When Chu Xianzhao watched the children in the rice field catch the huge voles into the bamboo basket and show them to their parents with joy on his face, he always felt that he had seen such a picture somewhere, but he couldn't remember it, but he didn't know why he was very happy to see them, and he was also happy.

He thought to himself that even if there was no end in sight to such a journey, it would be enough if they were still alive and could go on forever.

Ying Liyang also seemed to feel Chu Xianzhao's intentions, tilted his head and gave him a gentle smile, it was really a smile that captivated the city, and then smiled at the country.

The two of them kept moving towards the official road, straight

Slowly some buildings appeared in the field of vision, presumably close to the village or county seat.

Chu Xianzhao likes the idyllic scenery of the wind blowing the rice and wheat Saijin Mountain, those primitive and pure tastes make people feel refreshed, although the palace of Yinguo is big, but it is a small cage after living for a long time, and the world outside is a free bird.

It is precisely because of this yearning for freedom that he is particularly fascinated by the scenery outside, and feels that as long as the things outside are fresh and interesting, even if he has changed from the son of Yinguo to a free man with no name and no point.

Chu Xianzhao is obviously used to this kind of role reversal, and he doesn't feel that he is the son of the Yin Kingdom for a long time, and he is really in the rivers and lakes of the world, like a bird leaving the cage, where is not free?

The two rode into a remote town in a carriage, and in the thousands of years of rule of the Daqing Dynasty, this town has become a real peach blossom forest.

Soon the golden rice paddies around them gradually disappeared behind the two of them, and the wheels of the carriage rattled on the wooden bridge deck, and the bridge that had been erected on the river for an unknown number of years seemed to collapse at any moment due to the weight of the carriage, and it was inevitably a little scary when it swayed.

"According to the itinerary, we should soon arrive in this city called Guhe City, which has a person we want to meet. ”

Ying Liyang looked down at the topographic map of the territory of the Daqing Dynasty, and his slender fingertips recognized it along the route above.

At the same time that Chu Xianzhao bought these two carriages, the boss also sent this volume of maps and information about the territory of the Daqing Dynasty, and through this map, the two also learned a lot about this dynasty.

The people in Qingguo have abandoned the gods and Buddhas that the people of the world believe in, they changed their faith to believe in the dragon god, a god created by the Zhao royal family, and even sacrificed to the dragon god on the eighth day of February every year, in the eyes of the people of Qingguo, the dragon festival is the most important festival in the Daqing Dynasty in addition to the New Year.

At that time, the whole dynasty will be in the scene of singing and dancing, in the four days from the eighth to the eleventh day of the first month, like the New Year, there will be witches with red dragon masks all over the street, all kinds of delicious things and lantern festivals and temple fairs, and even the mighty dragoons, this festival is full of the majesty of the flying dragon and all kinds of beautiful things, so that many people yearn for it.

In addition to the annual Dragon Festival is an unprecedented grand festival, in addition to the people of their own countries, the princes of the six countries should also send delegations to participate in this grand event, but to everyone's surprise, in the Dragon Festival in February next year, Emperor Qing is extremely abnormal in dispatching

I don't know why, in the edict sent by Emperor Qing to the kings of the six countries, there should have been a grand event attended by envoys on behalf of the emperor, but this year, Emperor Qing specially asked the kings of the six countries to come and participate, and bring at least one member of the royal family.

Emperor Qing modified the habit of sending envoys to participate in the Dragon Festival in the past, which made the kings of the six countries inevitably have great doubts, why

They must go to such a festival, if it is like letting them show enough respect for Qingguo, it is also okay to send an extremely human rights envoy, why do they have to come forward to participate.

In addition to the huge controversy caused by the court of the six countries, such a move also caused great confusion among the officials of the country, I wonder if this young king really wants the kings of the six countries to participate in the grand event, or wants to discuss the war against the Yin State with them in the name of the Dragon Festival?

Compared with the incomprehensible behavior of the young Qing Emperor, everyone in the Daqing Dynasty is looking forward to this annual event, because only in the Dragon Sacrifice Festival, thousands of dragon riders of the Daqing Dynasty will appear in the sky above Luoyang City at the same time, and they must be thousands of dragons at all times

Presumably, the most eye-catching ones in the future must be the proudest dragoons in Daqing.

Chu Xianzhao asked curiously: "Looking for someone, what kind of person are you looking for?"

"I can't guess his identity for the time being, but I'll find out when you go with me. ”

Ying Liyang smiled slightly, and his face looked extremely lush and beautiful against the backdrop of the green trees behind him.

"Before I fell asleep, there was no such Daqing Dynasty, at that time the strongest dynasty in the Southern Continent was called the Tang Dynasty, but now it has become the Tang Kingdom, such a country is very interesting. ”

Ying Liyang stretched out his slender fingertips and gently landed on the territory of the Tang Kingdom, saying with interest.

Chu Xianzhao looked at her with some surprise, there were really not many things that could interest her, a woman who had not died for a thousand years.

"You have the Tai'a Sword in your hand, and the woman who came to save you that night gave me the Phoenix Qin, but do you know that the emperor of the Tang Kingdom also has a divine weapon in his hand. ”

Chu Xianzhao's expression moved slightly, this Tai'a Sword originally belonged to Xilin, as for how the Phoenix Qin fell into the hands of Yinguo, there is no record in the history books, it must be another confused account.

Ying Liyang said softly: "Have you heard of the Great Tang Haotian Tower?" It is also a divine weapon like your Tai'a Sword, the Tai'a Sword can destroy the Heavenly Gate and kill the Heavenly God, and the Haotian Tower is a pity to swallow the stars and change the moon, the legend is that it is a weapon held by a certain god, with supreme power, it is easy to subdue demons, and it can even imprison immortals, maybe there are immortals imprisoned in that tower. Do you have any thoughts on such a treasure?"

Chu Xianzhao's heart moved, and he quickly restrained his emotions and asked, "Even if Haotian Tower is real, what does it have to do with us?"

"Now you and I only have two divine weapons in our hands, don't you know how powerful they are in your hands? If you want to go back with the army to prove to your father that you are right, then we must hold a strong force, this time I came to Nanlu not only to find my allies and get the army, but more importantly, to bring all the scattered divine weapons of Nanlu into our hands, leaving no one behind. ”

"Why do we need so many divine soldiers?"

Ying Liyang looked at this fool who didn't open his mind, and said angrily: "Our next enemies are not fuel-efficient lamps, in addition to the need for troops, we also need absolute strength to deal with those invisible enemies, if you don't become strong quickly, how can you compete with your father in the future? ”

"If I hadn't brought you this oil bottle, maybe I would have come to Nanlu a long time ago. ”

Chu Xianzhao got along with Ying Liyang for a while, and found that she was not one of those fairies who did not eat fireworks in the world, and she still had the temper of some ordinary women.

Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but Hao Yan secretly bared his teeth, thinking that Ying Liyang was boiling medicine for him every day these days, and he wouldn't slander me If I hadn't abandoned my wife and father and rushed to save you, I still call myself the son of the Yin Kingdom of His Royal Highness, this princess of Daqin, who has lived for nearly three thousand years, should have appeared in myths and stories, but at this time, she appeared beside her, often making Chu Xianzhao feel that he was not having a long, long dream, and when he woke up, he could see Sister Changyan's face waking him up.

"When I say a word to you, you scold me in your heart, don't you?"

"Don't be cranky...... It's too late for me to praise you. ”

"If you don't have the right eyes, you must be scolding me. ”

Ying Liyang's beautiful eyes narrowed, and Chu Xianzhao was cold, and it was not until the two of them entered this beautiful village that the embarrassment in their hearts slowly disappeared.

As far as the eye can see, this neighborhood really looks like a peach blossom garden, except for the lack of peach blossoms, dozens of houses seem to be scattered but in fact appear in an orderly manner by a small stream, these houses with heavy grass cover as shelter from the wind and rain, with red brick houses with the green grape vines, look particularly childlike and bright.

There were a few village women washing clothes by the river, and behind them was a stone mill made of bluestone, and two or three children sat on the stone mill and looked at them, busily calling out to their mothers who were washing clothes.

Ying Liyang glanced at Chu Xianzhao, Chu Xianzhao stopped the carriage knowingly, and put on a posture of a traveling scholar to greet those village women, with a rooting mask on his face, he was not as handsome and charming as before, so ordinary that he didn't make people think he was strange.

Several of the village women looked at each other, at the woman who was sitting in the carriage and looked good enough to make them ashamed of themselves, and then at the smiling young man, as if they were worried that they were both bad people.

So someone called his man, and a barefoot farmer walked out, looked at Chu Xianzhao from head to toe, opened his mouth in the lingua franca, and asked with interest: "Where did you come from in this offspring?"

"Northern Regions, we came by boat from the Northern Regions, and we want to go to Luoyang City to study, can we rest in your village for a night tonight?"

"North

It's from the other side of the sea, isn't it?"

The farmer suddenly realized, looked at the beautiful woman in front of the black carriage, and deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "This is—"

Chu Xianzhao smiled and said lightly: "She is my maid, it is not easy for us to come to the Southern Continent from the Northern Regions, if the uncle doesn't mind, let me stay here with her for one night, and give you money before leaving." ”

The farmer waved his hand and politely refused: "The small family is not an inn, just pay the money, you are a guest from afar, if the son does not dislike this small household, I will let my mother-in-law make a room for you to come out." Hey, hey, although we don't have big fish and meat here, we always have coarse tea and light rice and a warm bed. ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled and asked, "Thank you so much, is there any wine?"

The farmer laughed and said, "Home-made wine, and it's enough!"

Listening to the conversation between Chu Xianzhao and the farmer, the corners of Ying Liyang's mouth slowly hooked up a trace of arc.

Her eyes fed by the sea scenery and pastoral style can finally take a rest, a pair of slender ** slowly moved down from the carriage, the white dress on her body could not hide her plump and moving curves, and her eyes flowed, like a beautiful woman from the north in all directions.

The farmer led the two of them like two big Buddhas to the door of his own house, and enthusiastically handed them fragrant wine, the farmer's wife prepared a meal for the two guests from the north that was not sumptuous but absolutely full, and the five-year-old son of the farmer's family also held a pot of melons and fruits in front of Chu Xianzhao, and looked at those fairy-like beautiful Ying Liyang for a long time, and was pulled hard by his mother before he came back to his senses, and quietly asked his mother if there was a fairy coming to their house.

The farmer pushed a whole bowl of sauce pig's trotters in front of Chu Xianzhao, Chu Zhaozhao swallowed unabashedly while eating pig's trotters and drinking wine, such an unpretentious young guest The farmer looked very comfortable in his heart, Ying Liyang is such a person who does not invade the cold and heat and maintains life by absorbing the qi of heaven and earth, eating is no longer of much significance to her, she just drinks silently, thinking that she will sleep here for the night tonight, and it doesn't hurt to get drunk.

The farmer looked at the young woman who was drinking in a big bowl and felt that he was fresh, the farmer was a good drinker, so he and this woman who was perhaps the best-looking woman he had ever seen in his life and in his life made a wine, but if the farmer wanted to defeat Ying Liyang in drinking, even if he filled ten stomachs with wine, his cheeks tanned by the scorching sun became red, and it didn't take long for him to get a little drunk, and looking at Chu Xianzhao, who was eating pig's trotters, was a little ghostly.

The farmer's wife also seemed to be very happy, and kept putting the food in Chu Xianzhao's bowl and said, "We haven't had guests for a long time. ”

The little kid felt numb when he heard his father's loud laughter drinking, but that fairy sister can really drink, and drank bowl after bowl like drinking water, thinking that I must find her like this when I look for a daughter-in-law in the future.

The farmer's wife smiled and said, "You're welcome, childe, these grapes and melons are all home-grown, and they shouldn't be as delicious as those in the city, but they are fresh enough." ”

Chu Xianzhao responded with a bright smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law, this must be the most delicious melon I have ever tasted, I will definitely finish it." ”

The peasant wife smiled gently: "If you don't want to wash it for you, our things in the countryside are a little bit stained with this bit of mud, and it's not good to eat the bad boy's stomach." ”

Chu Xianzhao watched the woman wash the grapes again with quick movements, he looked at the woman's back in a trance, and unconsciously his eyes were a little red.

Perhaps this was the kindness he felt for the first time when he came to Nanriku.

He looked at the plate of dripping grapes with some stupidity, when he was a child, his nurse who took care of him was worried about him all day long, Chu Xianzhao had never eaten fruit with skin, and even ate an orange petal had to be torn off by the nurse before he dared to feed him, for fear that his golden body would eat his stomach, in his sweetest years, he just ate her peeled lychee on the nurse's knees, and smiled sweetly at her, as if he had done a great thing so that the nurse couldn't help but applaud him. He didn't feel that he was any different from those motherless children, maybe he was happier, but he didn't feel it.

He gently took a grape and slowly stuffed it in his mouth, lowered his head with red eyes, and now he felt it.

Ying Liyang noticed his abnormality, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Chu Xianzhao swallowed the grapes gently, and choked softly: "I miss the people in my family." ”

Ying Liyang raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and smiled softly: "I want to think about it, but the man doesn't flick when he has tears." ”

Chu Xianzhao bit his lip and nodded, picked up the wine glass and toasted the farmer with a glass of wine, and drank the tears and wine together.

After a full meal, the farmer's wife took them to the guest room that had been cleaned up temporarily.

Chu Xianzhao looked at the environment of the guest room and smiled softly: "The environment here is very good, let's rest here for one night, and we will leave for Sunset City tomorrow." ”

Ying Liyang nodded and said, "Well, let's have a good rest, I'll go sit on the other side of the yard." ”

She just wanted to turn around and leave, but Chu Xianzhao took her slender jade hand, she subconsciously twitched, but she didn't break free.

She looked at Chu Xianzhao with some words, and finally turned around silently, sat on the edge of the bed, and suddenly said to Chu Xianzhao, who was looking at her, "You lie down." ”

Chu Xianzhao was stunned, but he still lay on the soft quilt and asked, "What are you doing lying down?"

"Now that you have put on my father's royal robe, I, as a daughter, always have something to give you. ”

Ying Liyang kicked off her shoes and climbed on the bed barefoot, seeing her so active, Chu Xianzhao was startled, and her voice trembled: "You are so active, it will make me afraid, this is someone else's house, why don't we wait until we go to Sunset?"

Ying Liyang couldn't help but laugh angrily after hearing this, gently pressed his hands on Chu Xianzhao's chest, and said angrily: "It may hurt a little for a while, you bear with it." ”
