The setting sun is sprinkled on the yellow sand, and the desert is boundless. The oasis around the lake is located between the sand and the sea, and against the backdrop of the vast world, it is as small as a small green leaf, which can be eaten away at any time.

At the top of the sand dunes on the edge of the oasis, a little black dog with a thin three laps stuck out his tongue, looking out at the far west, his eyes full of confusion.

After all, as a dog, growing up in a palm-sized canyon, I thought I was accompanying my master to go out for a walk, but this bend slipped thousands of miles and was not finished.

Standing on this sand dune, it even wondered if the rest of the dogs would have to go on the endless road.

It's almost February, the plants and trees that have been dormant in the oasis for a winter have pulled out their buds, many small animals living in the oasis, carefully gathered by the lake to drink water, and a wild wolf that came out of nowhere, sticking out his tongue and rolling his eyes, was used as a stool by the rickety old man, sitting under the buttocks.

A woman in a cloth skirt squatted by a campfire, with three wooden sticks stuck in front of her, on which were skewered grilled fish that had just been caught from the lake. Seeing the sunset at the end of the yellow sand, and the pillar of smoke rising from the bonfire, the woman whispered:

"The bicycle wants to ask the side, and the subject country lives extends. Zheng Peng out of Hanse, return to the wild goose into Hu Tian. The desert is lonely, and the sunset on the long river is ......"

Thousands of miles away, it was obviously difficult to walk down on two legs, and there were two big camels that had been picked up from nowhere around the campfire, standing together and chewing blades of grass.

Father-in-law Jia sat on the back of the wild wolf to rest, put his hands on his sleeves, looked at the red sun in the distance, and nodded thoughtfully:

"The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river...... It's the right time. But what does this 'Hanse' mean? We didn't understand it, so it might be more appropriate to change it to 'Yuesai'. ”

From the northeast of Dayue to the northwest, thousands of miles down, Cui Xiaowan was a little more dusty than before she went out, but there was no trace of fatigue and boredom on her face, and she was still the same as living in the peach blossom forest. Hearing Jia's doubts, she also explained seriously:

"That person said it was 'Hanse', it was the side of the Han Dynasty, from "The Han Dynasty"."

"The ...... of the Han Dynasty"

Jia Gonggong recalled, from Xia Shang Zhou to the present dynasty, it seems that he has never heard of such a dynasty, nor does he have this ancient book, and he doesn't know where Xu Buling heard it, so he can only shake his head lightly, not knowing how to answer.

Cui Xiaowan turned the grilled fish with her hand, recalled the conversation in the canyon that night, and said: "That person also said that the Han Dynasty is very powerful, what 'those who offend me as a strong man, although they are far away, they will be punished'." Unlike the Song family, the Jiang family has come back, and they are still thinking about infighting......"

The two of them set off from Youzhou, crossed Dayue, and when they walked near Taiyuan, they were blocked by the war. Although Gonggong Jia is old, he has a little armor, so he naturally can't help this old immortal who guards Yijiazi in Dayue Palace, and takes Cui Xiaowan across the battlefield, and he has also seen all kinds of chaos on the bloody battlefield.

Cui Xiaowan has not asked about the world since she was a child, she only likes flowers and plants, and she looks at the concept of life and death very lightly, in her heart, people's 'birth, old age, sickness and death' are no different from flowers' 'one year old and one withered', they are all natural laws, nothing to be sad and compassionate.

But the two armies are fighting, and hundreds of thousands of the same kind are killing each other, which obviously does not belong to the law of nature.

As the master of this world, the emperor should have avoided these things, just like the gods who are in charge of the clouds and rain in the sky and the life of all things. Now that she hasn't done her job well, Cui Xiaowan is naturally the same as complaining about the bad weather, complaining that the emperor is useless.

When Gonggong Jia heard this, he smiled lightly: "Which dynasty and which generation, it's all the same." I'm Da Yue, I don't just clean up the Quartet barbarians. But in all dynasties, most of them died with strength, the vassal king will not be destroyed, sooner or later there will be this day, and if you want to destroy the vassal king, there will be this day in advance.

Today's saint is too ambitious, and after only ten years on the throne, he began to 'purge the rivers and lakes, promote the imperial examination, suppress the military attachés, and plot to cut the feudal domain'. purging the rivers and lakes is overkill; Daxingke's heavy use of civilian students touched the interests of the scholar clan; suppressed the military attache and provoked the Jiangmen family; Let's not talk about cutting the domain, I almost provoked everything that shouldn't be provoked. The general direction is correct, but it is not surprising that this should have been boiled in warm water for several generations and slowly implemented, and it is not surprising that it can be done all at once within twenty or thirty years of being in power, so as not to leave future troubles for future generations. ”

Cui Xiaowan didn't like to hear these things, so she just asked:

"When will the battle be over?"

Father-in-law Jia shook his head: "It's hard to say, if it's fast, it's a year or two, and if it's slow, the world will be torn apart, and it's normal to drag on for more than a hundred years." ”

Cui Xiaowan frowned, and no longer thought about things that could not be changed, and instead looked at the sky:

"It's almost February, how far is it from that big sea of flowers?"

Father-in-law Jia estimated it and chuckled: "It's about five hundred miles, and it can be reached in seven or eight days." ”

"Are there any peach blossoms planted there?"

"This, the old slave doesn't know, but peach blossoms are common, and they should be planted."

"Then we have to go faster, the peach blossoms in early February are the best, I went late, and I can't see them."

Cui Xiaowan picked up the grilled fish, handed it to Father-in-law Jia, and then sat down on the grass, nibbled on the grilled fish, and fed the little black dog.

Father-in-law Jia took the grilled fish, recalled it slightly, and sighed softly:

Speaking of the big sea of flowers, the old slave knows some of the reasons. Back in Chang'an City, that kid and his father fell in love with a girl on the rivers and lakes. The girl grew up on the side of the hundred-foot cliff in the East China Sea, and on the hundred-foot cliff was a sea of flowers. In order to please other girls, the boy's father promised to build the largest flower sea in the world in the future, which won the hearts of the girls.

However, the old slave did not expect that the family property could be passed on to future generations, and even this kind of pleasing thing to the girl could be passed down from generation to generation. Looking at the current situation, as long as the sea of flowers is there, the sons and grandchildren don't have to worry about the daughter-in-law, and when they meet, they will say, 'I have a huge sea of flowers, do you want to go home with me'......"

Cui Xiaowan liked these stories, thought about it, and nodded seriously: "Women have always liked flowers, and when I was at home, many young ladies and ladies often came to see the peach blossom forest." However, that man is very handsome, the most handsome I have ever seen, to please the girl, there should be no need for a sea of flowers, just hook your fingers. ”

"That's right, 'Zhaohong Yimei', it's not in vain......"

Falling into the sunken sand dunes, on top of the small oasis, a bonfire sets off an old man, a young man and a dog.

Talk and laugh freely, unrestrained.

Although the little black dog gnawing on the bones of the fish is a bit loveless, the scene is still very warm, huh...... At least that's what people seem......
