Ximen Xue didn't have the courage to look at the holy decree, but the map, that is, they had to see it!

"Brother Baoyu, this is the map of the whole territory of Da Zhou?"

Ximen Xue shouted at the top of her voice: "Since I was a child, several uncles have said that the Great Zhou is very big! What one hundred and eight states, what many powerful fiefdoms, what great military exploits and how many feudal officials, but I have never seen the map of our Great Zhou, and I don't know how many frontiers there are!"

He shouted when he couldn't help it: "That's right, Second Master Bao, don't be stingy! Let's talk about people who can be officials, but we don't even know how big the country is!"

I'm from Taihang, and I've robbed three big states, no, it's a study tour of three big states, and some people even say that I'm a small-minded person! No, you have to show us!"

Xue Daoheng didn't speak, but the hope in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

He has been in Fenyin, Hedong, although his literary name is far and wide, but this time he came to Luoshui, it was the first time he went out!

He had imagined the vast land of the Great Zhou, and on the way to come, he also understood what it meant to be boundless, and he regretted that he was dizzy and couldn't see it clearly......

Baoyu pinched the holy decree in his left hand, wanting Le Yang Shen to help tear open the map, turned his head, and saw Le Yang Shen holding a vase of green lotus, and there was no flat place to put it in this wilderness.

He thought for a while, and asked, "Your Majesty asked us to go along, how about hiring you to give the bouquet of flowers along the way?" ”

"You're asking me to be your servant of the bouquet?

I can't help but want to bargain.

"Your Majesty asked me to lead you, can you still listen to me? 10,000 taels, do you want to do it?"

I couldn't help but think about this matter carefully, and felt that what Baoyu said was right-

His Majesty asked Baoyu to lead the team, and most things naturally have to listen to Jia Baoyu, then, if you get 10,000 taels of silver for nothing, you won't do it in vain!

He brought the vase over and said neatly, "It's done!"

"Very well, then you have to listen to me along the way. ”

Baoyu laughed strangely, and asked Leyang Shen to pull the map and pull it to both sides.

This map is made of animal skin, particularly strong, but very thin, and the two of them pulled it apart, and spread it on the ground for more than ten zhang......

As soon as she spread it out, just by looking at it, Ximen Xue screamed and swallowed her saliva.

Not to mention that Xue Daoheng couldn't help but ask for it, even Baoyu, who was already mentally prepared, couldn't help but gasp.

"This is the middle capital, this is the territory of the Northern Heavenly Army, and it is a barbaric ......."

Baoyu quickly found the capital city marked red, and from the top to the top, it was naturally where Chen Longbow's Heavenly Wolf City was located.

He had been to the Heavenly Wolf City once, and traveled to the northern sky from Jinling City near the middle capital, and the horses galloped for several months.

But after taking a closer look, I found that the length of the middle capital city from the southern border was dozens of times that of the sky wolf city!

"What a big territory! I thought that the central capital was in the center of the whole territory of the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou was not very big, it turned out that this was the Son of Heaven guarding the country!"

The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!

The white fox power of the Quartet Demon Clan has been incorporated into the country, the Winning Fish clan lives in the West Sea, and will not hit the land for the time being, and the emperor of the Tengu clan is said to be relatively young, and there is no threat from the Earth Wolf clan......

Baoyu only learned today that the Great Zhou is not a territory of tens of thousands of miles, but dozens of times!

The reason why the middle capital city is so close to the Heavenly Wolf City is completely to let the successive emperors guard the country!

"Huh, there's a red one!"

Looking down at the map of Ximen Xue, I found a big city that I had never heard of, which was actually marked with cinnabar.

He glanced at Baoyu and asked, "This three-wonder city is specially marked, is it our destination?"

Baoyu nodded, remembering that Shui Yingguang was talking about the Three Strange Cities.

As a result, Ximen Xue and Qiu couldn't look at each other, and bitter water was dripping on their faces.

Especially if I can't ask for it, I just feel that the 10,000 taels of silver in my hand is basically selling the rest of my life!

He glared at Baoyu and said indignantly: "Second Master Bao, you are pheating me! Sanqi Dacheng is hundreds of thousands of miles away from us, is it possible that I have to spend my whole life on the road?

Hearing this, Baoyu was also puzzled, hundreds of thousands of miles away, the time to travel was indeed too long.

He remembered that the decree was written, opened it, looked at it, and looked it up on the map......

"It's a crane, isn't it?"

Xue Daoheng said gently: "In addition to the ordinary post stations in Dazhou, there are also some Yunyanghe post stations scattered in secret places, which are far away from Luoshui and I have sat on them when I came. ”

Hearing him say this, Baoyu looked it up on the map.

Luoshui was too small to be shown on the map at all, but he found Jinzhou, and next to Jinzhou, there were a few very small characters written:

West side of Luoshui, Yunyang Cliff.

They are all four and five galls, and when the sword light is sacrificed, it is natural to act quickly.

They found the Yunyang Cliff, and the holy decree suddenly bloomed, and the misty mountain stream suddenly dispersed, revealing a ...... Feathery wings?

The wings were more than 100 zhang long, and the head of a white crane poked out of it, and its relatively small eyes alone were the size of three or four people gathered together.

Above the head of the white crane stood an old man in the official uniform of the post station, kneeling down in the face of the holy decree, saying that he would not mention it.

Baoyu and the others fell, and the old man also got up, his snow-white hair like a white crane fluttered in the wind, and he looked at Baoyu with a very surprised look.

He smiled and said: "It seems that he is the proud son of Luoshui, otherwise, Yun Yanghe, who is only for Jinshi to travel, will not accept His Majesty's will." ”

Baoyu and the others exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, and then he handed over a roll of silver tickets, Baoyu thanked him, and the old man hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't mention a word of thanks, Your Majesty gave you 300,000 taels of silver tickets, but the old man can only take out 100,000 taels, just don't blame it. ”

Hearing this, Le Yangshen grinned, his broken teeth were particularly sharp.

"This is the second master's silver?"

He asked sharply.

The old man waved his hand again, staggered to the side for a few steps, and it took a lot of strength to tear off the big hair on Yun Yanghe's neck.

Baoyu and the others followed and found that Yun Yanghe had opened his beak slightly, and there was a bright golden light flashing in it.

The old man turned his head and said: "Yunyang Crane is a kind of ghost and elf, swallowing gold and flying, traveling thousands of miles a day, and only carrying ten people at a time. Even Your Majesty can't force them. ”

After explaining, the old man patted Yun Yanghe's head, and muttered a lot of words that Baoyu and the others couldn't understand.

Call~

Whew~~

Whew~~~

The crane spread its wings, its wings crossed the sky, and the sound of the wind alone dispersed the small lake at the bottom of the stream.

Baoyu and the others were swept backwards by a gentle wind, and their bodies fell on Yun Yanghe's back.

They looked left and right, and found that there were exquisite wooden houses, and there was a very mysterious power to block the wind in the sky......

At your feet, there are white clouds, and when you pass by a relatively clear place, you can see the mountains and rivers below that look like earthworms and small stones.

All around is a vast expanse, full of blue sky and snow-white clouds—

Above these tens of thousands of feet in the sky, it seems that there is nothing but these......

I still held the vase of Qinglian, and studied the map with Ximen Xue and Xue Daoheng.

They exclaimed from time to time, admiring the vast territory of the Great Zhou.

When I finished reading it, I sighed unsatisfactorily.

"Okay, this son only learned today that in addition to the one hundred and eight inner states in our Great Zhou, there are also three hundred and sixty counties on the edge, as well as seventy-six territories of ghosts, spirits, and ghosts...... This is something that only Jinshi can know, and this son is an eye-opener!"

"No wonder only those who enter the scholarly position can enter the court, and ordinary people can handle the government affairs of such a vast land, and they can't finish it with exhaustion!"

"A lot of turf that can be robbed......"

They said one after another, and suddenly, they couldn't help but be stunned, and they went to see Baoyu fiercely.

"Second Master Bao, what did Your Majesty ask us to do in Sanqi City? I suddenly remembered...... We don't have official status now, do we?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. ”

Baoyu took out the holy decree, Ximen Xue was the closest, took it and looked at it, and immediately became dissatisfied.

"Brother Baoyu, you are not authentic, what Your Majesty gave us is from the five grades, and you want us to work together!

"A snake can't be headless. ”

Baoyu said lightly.

"You don't have to take the lead, we're exactly five people, voting on everything!"

Xue Daoheng's comments are very pertinent.

In this regard, Baoyu naturally happily agreed.

He pointed at Leyang Shen and said with a smile: "Brother Shen must listen to me." ”

pointed at the point again, and smiled: "My bouquet of flowers, the business of 10,000 taels of silver, naturally have to listen to me... I believe in your integrity. ”

I couldn't ask for a dry face, my palm was raised, and I wanted to hit myself in the face several times.

Ximen Xue smiled bitterly and said jokingly: "Let's fight, don't feel distressed." In vain, you call yourself a reckless layman, and today you are equivalent to being robbed by Brother Baoyu. 10,000 taels of silver, ha, this son is willing to pay 100,000 taels!"

"Integrity. ”

Xue Daoheng said with a meaningful smile.

Several people looked at each other, hugged their stomachs and laughed.

Now that the dust has settled, let's decide so, just like Baoyu said-

A snake can't be without a head.

...

Inside the middle capital, outside the heart hall.

Hu Ying, who was the secretary of the household department and the commander of the official department, knelt outside the door.

When the loyal ministers arrived, it was naturally indispensable to watch the lively traitors, and those who could block the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, except for Hu Ying and Ren Curtain, I am afraid that there was no one else......

The door slammed open, and Shui Ying was radiant, as if she had been reborn.

He asked Zhong Ling'er to leave from the corridor on one side, and walked out of the hall slowly to face his minister.

"Your Majesty, the turning over of the earth dragon is a big event, and it can't be used for sharpening!"

Hu Ying was in tears, and the dignified bachelor's degree actually climbed a few steps and hugged Shui Yingguang's thigh.

He wailed and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister who is the first concubine of the harem can be left to you, but the turning of the earth dragon is related to the survival of hundreds of people, the old minister implores His Majesty to take back his life and send the real power forward!"

The old minister protects the Jinling Mansion and Lingjia Yu Village, that is the real talent!"

"Jia Yu Village?"

Shui Yingguang pondered for a moment and smiled.

He said gently: "Jia Yucun does have the ability, and sending him to him will naturally cure the disease, but it will not play a role in sharpening." ”

"Your Majesty, the livelihood of all people is not a child's play!"

Shui Yingguang was hugged by Hu Ying's thigh, and when he looked down, his eyes were constantly cold.

He said calmly: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, after a hundred years, who can the emperor's humerus be?"

Hu Ying, you are my old minister, you should understand that when I die, I will not let you or Ren Curtain control the government, you are too powerful. ”

Hearing this, Ren Lian's body shook, but he laughed even faster.

Hu Ying glared at the old man dryly, and muttered in disbelief: "Your Majesty, the loyalty of the old minister can be ......."

"You are already a bachelor, you should go to the high place above the court, and you should no longer control the court. ”

Shui Yingguang patted Hu Ying's shoulder, and after letting him go, he said indifferently: "I know that there are too many involved in the turning of the earth dragon, and Brother Bao'er's trip must be difficult, but I want him to become a jinshi, I want him to enter the court, and I want him to have the ability to slowly take over the position of you and Ren Curtain together with Jia Yucun." Go, I've made up my mind!"

After that, Shui Yingguang returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Hu Ying watched the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall close, and still murmured in a low voice: "Your Majesty, old minister...... Faithfulness is ......"

"Ha, if you dare to be more loyal to this lord, when Your Majesty is limited, can you dare to do the same thing with this lord?"

Ren Curtain flicked the pitch-black and shiny cane, drawing a dazzling circle of light one after another.

Hu Ying's eyes immediately widened, "Why don't you dare!"

"Well, you'll see. ”

Ren Curtain said in a rare serious tone, staring at the Heart Cultivation Hall with a strange look.

Later, he looked south and smiled even more deeply.

"Jia Baoyu, it's very difficult for you to make this trip. ”

"Jia Baoyu, don't live up to Ying Ge'er's expectations, otherwise, Benjue will kill someone. ”

"Jia Baoyu ......"

The dignified Marquis of Yongchang, the head of the Great Zhou Dynasty, kept murmuring the name of Baoyu......
