It's a long way to go to Gan, and the hard work on the road is not a problem.

Shen Xizhen and Li Changsheng, who were dressed in men's clothes, walked side by side on horseback, and everyone didn't talk much, strictly speaking, they barely spoke, and only said three or two sentences when they had to.

People who aspire to walk long distances are usually more silent, and they can remain silent for long periods of time, just to accumulate more strength to walk.

Walking silently, silently admiring the scenery along the way, this feeling is as if slowly replacing the old blood in the body, it is a very wonderful and comfortable experience, and Xizhen really feels these things at this time.

Early spring is a good season for travel, because not only the climate is very pleasant, but even the flowers and plants are particularly vibrant.

It's a season of flowers, and Xi Zhen sees countless unknown beautiful flowers along the way, and if it weren't for the fact that she was wearing men's clothes, she would have liked to pluck one or two and pin them in her bun.

How good it would be if Chu Zihou was also by his side at this time? She thought to herself, imagining the care he had taken as he plucked the flowers and pinned them gently to her bun, and imagined him pinning them back a few steps and looking at her sideways, and her face flushed.

On the way, in addition to thinking about Chu Zihou, she did not forget the relevant things that should be done after being deployed to Gan State.

Both the kingdoms of Gan and the world believe in Buddhism, so the happiness index of their people is very high. Xi Zhen wanted to vigorously introduce this kind of belief into the Xi Kingdom. She knows that Buddhism pursues self-realization, self-awareness, and fullness, which can enable people to see their minds clearly, to be free from obstacles, and to stay away from namelessness and ignorance. Let people live freely, self-sustaining, and altruisticly.

She had long known that there was much to ponder and learn from Buddhism.

Xizhen believes that if a country wants to be rich and strong, it must not only start from the aspects of economy and education, but also pay attention to spiritual construction. Without spiritual construction, no matter how rich the people of this country are, the people will not be happy.

A country that cannot make its people happy is not an ideal country, and it will be destroyed sooner or later, just like if a country's civilization is gone, then the country will fall into a dark abyss from which it will never recover.

In addition to solving the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, everyone also hopes to be guided by a power in the underworld.

Before the mission. Xi Zhen contrasted countless beliefs and finally chose Buddhism because it teaches people to be good. There is nothing more than wise goodness that brings hope and happiness to a nation.

She wants to use this power to change the old concept of Xi Guo, Chen Chen, and Chen Xiangyin and pedantic ignorance.

Only the concept has been changed. The face of society as a whole will change dramatically.

Xi Zhen is full of hope for such a new atmosphere, and she hopes that through guò's own advocacy and the efforts of a group of people, she hopes to make it happen.

Walking on the cramped Yangguan path, the oncoming wind made Xizhen feel extremely comfortable, and she closed her eyes slightly. She was thinking. She is a time-traveling woman, living with love and hatred like everyone else in this dynasty, and she has gradually diluted her original identity.

For the first time, she had the idea that she didn't want to travel back in time.

The people who accompanied her, whether it were envoys or guards, were extremely respectful to her, on the one hand, they respected her talents, and on the other hand, they were afraid of her spells and martial arts. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for a woman like her to maintain her innocence in a group of men.

This cannot but be said to be a miracle.

Because everyone respects her very much, her attitude towards everyone is also very respectful.

The group climbed mountains and waded through rivers and traveled hard in the wind and dust. Forty-five days later they arrived outside the gates of the kingdom of Gan.

Xizhen handed over the handwritten letter written by Emperor Guangzhao.

Three days earlier, they had sent a letter to the king of Gan. The letter has already stated that they are coming to your country for a goodwill visit.

This is also to let Gan Guojun have a psychological preparation in advance. Save their group from eating closed doors at that time.

Now everyone arrived outside the gate of Ganguo City, and then handed in the handwritten letter of Emperor Guangzhao, which further showed the sincere intentions of the visitors.

This step-by-step approach is what Xi Zhen is good at, so she is particularly handy in doing it.

Gan is a country that believes in Buddhism, and the culture of Buddhism is deeply rooted in the words and deeds of the people. Births, full moons, marriages, and other important ceremonies are performed by Buddhist powers, who have their own theories of happiness.

Here, everyone has their own land and house, and the house is still very large. Education is free for everyone from birth to graduation - yes, schools do not charge tuition. It doesn't cost anyone money to see a doctor, because the country ordered thousands of years ago to have a special medical facility in every region, which is quite similar to the principle of the 'Anjiyuan' policy that Xizhen implemented in the world.

This country of mountains is full of dense forests, and the people are dressed in brightly colored but very dignified clothes, and everyone's face is full of happiness and serenity. And their eyes are as clear as the water of a lake, and their eyes are firm, which is the expression of faith deeply rooted in their hearts. Hee-jin fell in love with them at a glance.

The king and queen personally greeted them.

The king was a loyal Buddhist, about fifty years old, and had an impressively handsome face, but it was not only handsome, but also noble and powerful, and therefore looked very solemn and amiable. The queen was in her forties, gentle and beautiful, and although she did not speak much, she was full of wisdom in every sentence.

Their eyes and faces shone with wisdom. Xizhen was deeply touched by this brilliance.

This is what Xi Guo wants—to make everyone's face shine with happiness and wisdom. Of course, it's hard, but someone has to be willing to take the step. What Xizhen wants to do is take the first step.

The palace is built in the woods, and the pavilions and pavilions in the palace are always surrounded by large trees and flower beds, so it looks beautiful and pleasant.

After entering the palace, Hee Zhen met the king's family.

The king's three sons are all married, and the wives of these three sons are all as beautiful as flowers, and each of them is knowledgeable and polite, and his words are generous, and they all feel like a spring breeze when they look at them.

Hee-jin proposed to the king of Gan a plan to form a trade between the two countries, and the king expressed his willingness to discuss this plan with the ministers.

"But the people of Gan have always followed the principle of self-sufficiency, so they do not have high material requirements, even if they are willing to reach a business relationship with your country, they will not have a lot of material needs." King Gan said with a smile.

"That's okay, keeping friendly contacts is the main purpose of our trip." Xi Zhen hurriedly replied.

"That's good!" King Gan smiled.

"King, I admire the Buddhist culture of your country, so I also want the people of Xi to have the privilege of being exposed to this culture, I wonder if I can buy you a batch of Buddhist books?" Joy and respectfully make a request.

"Of course, we are also happy to see the circulation of Buddhist culture, so we don't need you to pay for it, we will also give you a batch of Buddhist scriptures." King Gan said with a smile.

Xi Zhen and others hurriedly saluted and thanked them.

However, because they didn't want to get benefits for free, Xizhen, Li Changsheng and others discussed privately that night, and finally decided to donate a large amount of money to Gan Guo by donating sesame oil money.

Subsequently, Xi Zhen proposed that the two countries make a friendly visit once a year, and took this opportunity to send some people who were interested in Buddhist culture to study.

The King of Gan agreed, and the representatives of the two countries signed an agreement on friendly exchanges and cultural exchanges.

So far, the friendly visit between the two countries has been successfully reached.

On the first night before leaving, the king and queen hosted a banquet for them.

During the banquet, the queen asked Xizhen softly: "Does Guang'an Hou have a marriage contract?" ”

Xi Zhen was slightly shocked in her heart, and replied with a smile: "Back to the queen, the little girl already has a marriage contract. ”

"I wonder what kind of person can be honored?" The queen asked with a smile.

Xi Zhen's face turned slightly red, and he replied softly: "He is the second son of Emperor Guangzhao - Chu Zihou, King of Qingping. When Hee-jin said his name, her tone became extraordinarily gentle.

"Oh, it's him, I've heard people talk about him, and say that he is a man of both civil and military skills, and he is both talented and good-looking."

Xi Zhen hurriedly said modestly: "They have a good reputation! ”

"I would like to recommend to you one of my nephews, who read poetry and books at a very young age, and who is even more obsessed with Buddhist culture, so he has his own profound insights, he is twenty years old this year, he is of noble character, dignified appearance, and now he is in the State Administration, he is a rare young talent." The queen said with a smile.

"But now that you have someone you like, forget it." The queen added.

Xi Zhen's face couldn't help but flush when she heard this, but she knew that she already had a wishful candidate like Chu Zihou, so she naturally didn't allow herself to move those thoughts anymore.

"The little woman has accepted the queen's wishes, but the little woman has a marriage contract, I'm very sorry!" Xizhen bowed his head slightly and said.

"It's okay, a beautiful woman like you will definitely settle down early, this is normal."

Smile at you.

"You are welcome to come back next time, and it is best to come with King Qingping." The queen clasped her hand and said, looking at Xi Zhen with the warmth of her own daughter.

"Okay." Hee Zhen nodded.

In the early morning of the next day, Xi Zhen and his entourage left Gan with 3,000 Buddhist scriptures presented by the king of Gan and marched to the world.

When the team walked dozens of feet away, Xi Zhen looked back, but saw that the palace of Gan was hidden in the depths of the woods, with birds chirping overhead, and in the distance, the sun slowly rose from the morning light, covering the earth with a holy halo, and a faint sense of certainty suddenly rose in her heart.

After seeing the happiness and tranquility of the Gan people, I feel that this trip is in vain. (To be continued......)
