Jiu Wentian and Gu Zhengwen sat by the river, Gu Zhengwen looked at the flowing river and said: "This river rarely freezes, maybe because of the speed, you said that this life is as good as this river." ”

"What do you mean?" Jiu Wentian couldn't help but sigh at Gu Zhengwen's ability to sigh, it was really hard to believe that Gu Zhengwen was actually a person with good feelings.

Gu Zhengwen continued: "You see, these waters, no matter where they are born or pass through, will eventually flow into the homeland sea. It would be nice if life was like that, and you would eventually find your place. ”

Jiu Wentian smiled, and then said: "The reason why this river will not freeze may be that the old city belongs to a temperate oceanic climate, and the temperature is not very low, plus this river originates from the high mountains of the Hundred Beast Forest, and the potential energy is large, so the flow speed is very fast, which is also the reason why it does not freeze all year round." However, this is also a good premise, if the results are the same, then life is meaningless, isn't it?"

"And, you see that the water is flowing so fast," Jiu Wentian said with blazing eyes, "Don't you have the time to enjoy the scenery along the way? ”

Gu Zhengwen laughed and said: "What are you saying, I really don't understand, but it's also, just thinking about the end, then you will be dominated by the result, and you can only control the result by living in the present." ”

The fish grilled on the fire crackled, Gu Zhengwen turned the fish over, and then said: "As the saying goes, you can't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you say, what are you looking for me? ”

Jiu Wentian exhaled and said, "I still can't escape the palm of Big Brother Gu, there is indeed something to come to you this time, and it may take a few days to delay you." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say," Gu Zhengwen said generously: "I'm also an idler, time is useless to me, as long as you take care of the food, I will accompany you to the ends of the earth." ”

Jiu Wentian laughed, and then said: "So I think you are the most suitable, but it may be a little dangerous, and it will be Jiang Qiufang's coming-of-age ceremony in half a month." As the princess of the old city, she naturally has to make a good deal and invite all the guests. The remaining three cities in Mingzhou have been handed over to me to inform, and there may be some gangsters on the way, so I came to look for you. ”

Gu Zhengwen pondered and said: "This is not a good job, even if the gift card is a happy event, it can't erase the hatred in their hearts." On the surface, the four cities of Mingzhou are sitting on all sides and have good friendship, but in reality they are not. The Ancient City is nominally on par with them, but it is recognized as the Big Brother, and the reason is that the Ancient City is a golden place for trade, and it is much more economically than them, but in terms of other things, it is inferior to them except in the literary world. ”

Jiu Wentian asked, "What does Big Brother Gu mean that they are not convinced?"

"So to speak," Gu Zhengwen paused and continued, "There is also a saying that a gentleman is easy to guard against villains. Inside their city, you won't be in danger, so to speak, it's extremely safe, but outside the city, you're much more likely to be dead on the streets than if you get out alive, and those people are very mixed, either the street gangsters or the regular army. ”

Jiu Wentian continued to ask: "Brother Gu, do you know Xiao Lebang? He is also an envoy, and he runs outside all the year round, but he has nothing to do, what do you think he depends on?"

Gu Zhengwen thought about it carefully and said: "Xiao Lebang, I did hear it, I seemed to have heard of him when I first came to the old city ten years ago, I don't know how much time he spent as an envoy, I haven't seen him, but I have heard his miscellaneous stories, I always feel that this person is unpredictable, he is a different person." In my opinion, this person at least has some ability, just being able to shuttle through four cities for so many years, if it is an ordinary person, even if the other three cities don't kill him, the old city will kill him. ”

Jiu Wentian nodded and said: "That's true, this Xiao Lebang may know a lot of things, or he has a lot of handles in his hands, this person is definitely not simple." ”

can casually figure out other people's thoughts, and directly harden the Ye family, if this kind of person has no ability, how dare he do this.

Gu Zhengwen picked up a grilled fish, then handed it to Jiu Wentian and said, "The fish is ready, eat it while it's hot." I'm going with you this time, I think I'm not going to die for a long time, it's time to live. Listening to what you said today, I want to make my life better, anyway, it's a death, and it's not bad to die early or late for a few days, I can't let them live happily anymore. ”

After eating the fish for a long time, he felt that this fish was really delicious, this was a grilled fish made by Gu Zhengwen himself, and it seemed that Gu Zhengwen's craftsmanship was still good. So Jiu Wentian also said: "Well, then it's troublesome for you, I'm not very familiar with their terrain, you can tell it." ”

Gu Zhengwen said: "There are four cities in Mingzhou, the Ancient City, the Ice City, the Dragon City and the Phoenix City. The old city is located in the east, the ice city is in the north, the dragon city is in the west, and the Fengcheng is in the south. In addition to the ancient city, the three cities are next to the sea, but since the disappearance of Shenzhou, the ancient city is also a small sea, at least another one or two hundred years, and the end of the world will be gone. By the way, where do you say you go first?"

Jiu Wentian said thoughtfully: "There must be more trouble when you arrive in Dragon City, Fengcheng seems to be a woman in power, Bingcheng has not heard of it, if it is surrounded by the sea, it seems that it can be reached by water?"

"It's better not to take the water route at this time, after all, it's still winter, not only is it cold but there will also be ice floes on the sea. Gu Zhengwen said with some concern.

Jiu Wentian thought about it for a while, so he said: "In this case, let's go by land, and it's safer, by the way, let's go to Bingcheng or Fengcheng first?"

"Fengcheng is expensive to tea, if you want to go to Fengcheng, you will definitely bring good tea, and if you go to Bingcheng, you should bring jewelry. Gu Zhengwen slowly recalled: "But Bingcheng is a few reckless people, there is the most dangerous there, let's go to Fengcheng first, notify Fengcheng and Longcheng first and then go to Bingcheng, in case we can't get in, we will quit." ”

Jiu Wentian nodded and said, "Okay, then listen to Brother Gu, I'll go back to the City Lord's Mansion to get things later, and then we'll go on the road." ”

Gu Zhengwen said: "Well, I'll wait for you here." ”

After eating the fish, Jiu Wentian said goodbye to Gu Zhengwen, and then Jiu Wentian returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and they all ate at this time. A maid saw Jiuwentian and said, "Long envoy, Chief Manager Cao is sending someone to find you and say that you should go to the study." ”

After Jiu Wentian answered, he came to the study, the study is now taken care of by a subordinate, and after Jiu Wentian came to this familiar place, he saw that Mr. Cao was choosing books. Jiu Wentian stepped forward and said, "Manager Cao, I'm back." ”

Manager Cao nodded and said, "Well, Long Lao likes to read, just bring him a few books when you go, Fengcheng is some tea, Bingcheng is some jade beads and the like." You can just give them these things when you get there, and then you can come back when the things are done, and if you want to stay a few more days, it's okay to arrive before the bar mitzvah. ”

"Yes, I see. Jiu Wentian said.

Manager Cao handed over those things to Jiuwentian and said: "You can make your own itinerary, but you must be notified of all of them within ten days, and let them arrange them well." By the way, this is the golden order of the old city, you take it well, if someone is in the city to embarrass you, you can take this out, it may not work very well outside the city, but you can also try, have you found a good person?"

Jiu Wentian nodded and said, "I found it, he is a five-fold martial artist, enough to protect me." ”

Manager Cao said: "That's good, if there is nothing to do, you can set off, this kind of thing cannot be delayed, it is better to finish it as soon as possible." ”

"Well, I'm going to go, can you let me choose two horses?" asked Jiu Wentian a little embarrassed.

Manager Cao smiled: "Of course, you can choose any horse in the stable, you can ride it." ”

Jiu Wentian, who came to the stable, chose two red-maned horses, rode one and led the other, and then Jiu Wentian came to the river, Gu Zhengwen also took off his hat and robe, and then said: "Even the horse has been ridden, it's so good, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time." ”

Jiu Wentian smiled: "Then let you have a good time, it's time for us to go." ”

"yes, let's go. After Gu Zhengwen said that, he jumped into the air and jumped onto the horse's back, and then pinched the horse's back, and the horse's front legs were directly cocked. Gu Zhengwen almost fell, but he still quickly pressed down, and the horse was very docile instead of tossing.

Seeing this, Jiu Wentian also smiled and said, "It seems that this horse has been surrendered by you." ”

Gu Zhengwen said: "No, I just don't get close to animals, so these animals are afraid of me, just now I was frightened." ”

"Manager Cao just gave me a rough map, let's go around the river and walk south, we can get to Fengcheng about tonight, and then we should be able to get to Fengcheng City in the early morning of the next day. Jiu Wentian took out the map from the white jade and looked at it and said.

Gu Zhengwen nodded to show that he knew, and also said: "Okay, according to what you say, but after crossing this river, we will be outside the town, and there will be many robbers ambushing us, so we must be careful." ”

Jiu Wentian strengthened his confidence and said, "Well, with Big Brother Gu here, it must be fine." ”

"You think too highly of me, I'm just a six-fold martial artist, and there are many masters outside. Gu Zhengwen said with some embarrassment, it seemed that Jiu Wentian felt that he was too powerful to be beyond his range, and he was not a person who liked to show in front of others, so he had to be modest.

However, Jiu Wentian didn't care, he just felt that Gu Zhengwen was very powerful.
