Chapter 101: Traveling in the Kingdom of Ji (1)

Ji Fa looked at it and became sleepy, I don't know how long it has been.

"Giggle."

He was woken up by the sound of a rooster, turned over, felt something cold, felt very comfortable, touched it carefully and felt very soft, and there was a sigh next to him.

Ji Fa suddenly sobered up, and when he saw the person next to him, he scratched his head embarrassedly, then got out of bed, stretched his waist, knelt down at the table, poured a glass of water and drank it to calm down.

"Hee-hee-hee, why did you go down? Husband? Bing'er smiled as she lay on the side.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're so beautiful, mainly, when did you come here? I didn't know, I went to bed too early. Ji Fa yawned.

"When I came in, you were already asleep, and I couldn't sleep in the room, so I came to play with you, but I didn't expect you to fall asleep." Bing'er said with a smile.

"I was too sleepy to look at the map last night, by the way, I should say goodbye to Shu, we should leave for Zhou, alas, I guess after I go back, Taigong should look for me again?"

"Taigong? Is it your grandfather? Bing'er asked curiously.

"No, he is my auxiliary minister, when I leave the Zhou State, the national policy is handled by him first, and you need to find me to deal with it first after each time, so every time I go back, I am very busy."

"Hey, hey, I feel like you're a happy annoyance, husband." Bing'er said with a smile.

"Hahaha, maybe." Ji smiled, and stood up after drinking tea.

After a while, Ji Fa said to the King of Shu: "Okay, your breakfast here is really good, I haven't eaten it in Zhou Kingdom, thank you for your hospitality, and when you come to our Zhou Kingdom, I will also invite you to eat our best meal there." ”

"It's time to go, I'll tell you, I'll go."

"Wait a minute, King Zhou." Du Yu, the king of Shu, looked at him with a sad face and said.

"What's wrong?"

Du Yu said: "That's the case, I have a sworn brother in the country of Ji, he is supposed to be the king of the country of Ji, but now there is no news, I can't pull away now, I can't leave Shu for the time being, and just established the country of Shu, many things are waiting for me to deal with, but I am also more worried about things over there." ”

"So you'll ask me to walk for you first, won't you? OK. Ji Fa agreed directly.

"Thank you so much King Zhou, I sent a team of my own soldiers to you for dispatch, and the soldiers you led have been replenished with food and grass, and they can set off at any time."

"Okay, you're prepared, so thank you for your food and grass as a farewell to me."

Ji Fa smiled and left.

"Congratulations to King Zhou." Du Yu saluted him respectfully.

After Ji Fa rectified the soldiers, he left the capital of Shu and walked all the way to the south, his own soldiers followed behind, and the personal soldiers sent by Du Yu led the way in front.

Ji Fa sat on his line, thinking about the historical record of the country, and remembered that the country of Ji is one of the eight oaths of Makino, but the historical data has not been recorded in detail, there is no history of the country, this small country is very mysterious, and today's geographical location should be the area around Hanyuan in Sichuan, a small country in the southwest.

"There is no information at all, this small country is very mysterious, we must be vigilant, there are often secrets in unknown places, either they are harmful to people or they are harmed by others." Ji Fa thought to himself.

"Husband, aren't we going back to Zhou?" Bing'er asked.

"Well, I was entrusted by the King of Shu to go to the country of Ji, but I don't know anything about it, so I'm going to investigate the whereabouts of the brothers of the King of Shu."

Ji Fa remembered at this time what Du Yu had told him about his brother when he left.

"The tall horse is taller than himself, stronger than himself, and he speaks more rudely, but he is warm-hearted and kind-hearted, and he was originally the king of the kingdom of Ji, but he began to lose contact with him last month, and he also sent people to the country of Ji to search for news, but he found nothing, and so far there is no whereabouts of his brother."

"The brother of the King of Shu, called Fu Mao? What a unique name, a unique small country. ”

For a while, Ji Fa didn't think of where to start, and his convoy of horses kept walking, gradually deflecting to the southwest.

"Husband, are you talking about the country? I know something, I don't know if I can help you? Bing'er whispered.

"Really, Bing'er is fine, you just have to say, there is no news at all now, but it doesn't hurt that I can find news again."

Bing'er nodded and said: "In the cave before, there were also other explorers, most of them died when they reached the level of Cricket Shuai, I remember hearing Cricket Shuai mention that a group of people sent by the Kingdom of Ji coveted the treasures in the cave and wanted to come in and seize them, but they couldn't do anything they could, all of them were lost there, Cricket Shuai should know more about this matter, husband, you might as well ask him." ”

"Okay Bing'er."

Ji Fa directly released the cricket handsome, the current cricket is very small, and it doesn't matter if it is released in the middle of the line, the cricket shuai came out with a light, and at this time it has obviously recovered its look.

"Master, you called me?"

"How much do you know about the country?"

"The people who have only seen them in the cave are not much different from their masters, but they are a little shorter, and I learned from their conversations that their great sect leader sent them around to search for treasures near the country of Ji, so they came to the Blue Stone Forbidden Land, and they didn't know anything else, and they themselves touched the mechanism and died."

"I know that you've worked hard, go back."

Cricket Shuai returned to the blue stone, and Ji Fa's understanding of Ji Guo was a little deeper.

"Hey, hey, Bing'er, you're really careful, thank you." Ji Fa kissed Bing'er.

"Hey, hey, it's good if I can help my husband, I'll close my eyes and practice for a while." Bing'er closed his eyes and began to cultivate his Cold Ice Decision.

Bing'er's Cold Ice Decisive for so many years, with hard cultivation, it seems that he has reached the ninth layer, and he is currently in a critical period, but it is very difficult to break through the tenth layer, and it is not bad to think about Bing'er's Cold Ice Decision, both external and internal strength can be used.

Ji Fa shifted his attention to the news he had just gotten.

"Searching for treasure? The order of the archbishop, it seems that the rulers of the country still have the heads of religions? It seems that it should be a small country with a combination of church and state, why search for so many treasures? What is the purpose behind it? Why did you hear about the monarch of the kingdom of Ji? Could it be that the archbishop has the final say? ”

All the questions that flickered in Ji Fa's mind surfaced, and he pondered hard, but he didn't get any answers.

But there was an ominous feeling that temporarily made Ji Fa vigilant.

"Everything is foreseen, and if you don't plan it, make some preparations in advance, so as not to be too late."

When he thought of this, Ji Fa secretly had an idea in his heart.

So Ji Fa's line and soldiers, out of the border of Shu, marched towards the country, there is still a distance from the border between the two countries, under Ji Fa's arrangement, a hundred soldiers left Ji Fa's team, and then after the lead was completed, this team of soldiers completely obeyed Ji Fa's command.

"On the orders of the King of Shu, obey the dispatch of the King of Zhou, and follow him in life and death." A team of personal soldiers sent by Du Yu all knelt on the ground.

Ji Fa smiled and asked them to get up, and then continued to set off, I have to say that the scenery here is still relatively similar to the territory of Shu, there are more deep mountains and old forests, but after all, Ji is a country, and there are still avenues built to build them, along these avenues, Ji Fa's line and the army are more stable, otherwise it is really difficult to walk with the climb down the mountain.

Ji Fa looked at the scenery along the way and looked similar in size, and finally came to the border of the country, and after entering the city, Ji Fa found it when he came to the gate.

The people defending the city were not soldiers, but members of religion, all of whom stood on both sides of the city gate, standing there silently without saying a word, not moving, and the people around them seemed to be commonplace, and they entered and exited freely without any hindrance.

"It's really strange, these people can't be dead, and they don't have any reaction."

"What about the king? Shall we go in? The soldiers asked.

"All of them have set up camp outside the city, and now they are camped on the spot."

"Oh King."

So the soldiers under him went to camp, Ji Fa and Bing'er got off the line, Bing'er was still a soldier at this time, and accompanied Ji Fa to the city gate.

"I didn't receive the invitation of the country, I led so many soldiers, and I am afraid that entering without permission will affect the prestige of my Zhou country, so don't act rashly first, salute first and then announce the soldiers, and then make plans, not to mention that I didn't bring gifts and invitations, always be careful." Ji Fa thought to himself.

So the two came to the gate of the city, and suddenly the six gatekeepers wearing religious clothes walked towards Ji Fa and Bing'er, only to see that they were dressed in lilac robes, long hats covered their heads, and their mouths and noses were all covered with black scarves, so they couldn't see their appearance clearly.

"All foreigners in the border cities of the country are forbidden to enter." The guard said.

"I am the king of the Zhou Kingdom, I have something important to meet you and the lord of the Ji Kingdom, and I ask you to let me wait for the passage and make it convenient."

The six people guarding the door looked at the soldiers behind Ji Fa, and directly refused: "Go and care if you are the monarch of the Great Zhou or the monarch of the Shang Kingdom, I will not recognize it, and besides, we have no lord in the Kingdom now." Hurry up and leave, or we'll expel you." ”

Ji Fa was stunned when he heard this. "Why don't you have a lord in the country? Who will handle the major affairs of the country? ”

"Naturally, it's up to us archbishops."

"And where did your former lord go?"

"How can there be so many problems, get out of here, otherwise we will call someone to expel you."

Ji Fa only felt that this group of gatekeepers seemed to have been trained in advance, and even the speech was exactly the same, there was no other sound, and when he saw that he had touched a nail, everyone had talked to this point, and Ji Fa turned around and was about to leave.

Bing'er has never seen anyone dare to speak like this in front of him for thousands of years. Immediately furious, he pinched the cold ice duel, and directly hit the six people who guarded the door with six ice picks.

"Huh? Black art? ”

The six people guarding the door immediately pinched and chanted the spell, put their hands together and had a red magic ball in their hands, and pressed Bing'er's ice pick forward with both hands, but obviously the ice pick was superior, and directly smashed the red magic ball in their hands, hit them, and directly knocked them to the ground.

"Oops." There was a scream from the six gatekeepers.

Ji Fa looked back, stunned, walked over, looked at Bing'er, and then at the gatekeeper lying on the ground, so he had to give Bing'er a thumbs up.

"Wait where you are, stay vigilant, listen to my orders at any time, and don't enter the city." Ji Fa explained to the soldiers.

"King Not."

Then Ji Fa and Bing'er entered the city gate directly, and the six people guarding the gate quickly withdrew, and one of them released the falcon, as if passing on some news.

After Ji Fa and Bing'er entered the city, Bing'er felt lively when she saw a place with a lot of people, looked left and right, Ji Fa looked at this city, and found that there was no difference from the general Shu city, they were all the same, but the people looked very poor, there were many patches on their clothes, all of them were yellow and thin, and there was no happy look on their faces, just looking down at their own affairs, and there were basically no people discussing and talking on the street.

"How strange are the people here? Why don't you speak, is there something going on here? Bing'er also saw it and said.

"Shh

"Eat, is there anyone here cooking?"

So Ji Fa took Bing'er and walked around and found a restaurant for cooking, but the restaurant of this era was just a small and dilapidated room, and then there were only two kneeling tables, and the rest was the stove, as for the rest, there was nothing else.

Because salt and iron are basically sold exclusively by the state, and the lack of salt is very pitiful, generally speaking, there are not many people who are willing to go to restaurants to eat, but the life of opening restaurants is generally a little better than that of ordinary people.

The two of them came to the table in the restaurant and knelt down, and at this time, a man who looked like the owner of the restaurant came over.

"There are vegetables and meat, the food is limited, what do you two eat."

"Let's go over all the best dishes." Ji Fa took out a knife coin from his pocket and put it in the boss's hand.

"Oh, you're generous, I'll do it right away."

"Hey, boss, bring some drinks, sit down and let's have a drink and talk together."

"Oh, yes." The shopkeeper saw that the people who were eating were generous and bold, and he wanted to drink some with himself, and he was happy to prepare the meal again after a while.

Bing'er stayed in the cave for a long time, basically never eaten or seen, the food of this era, happily picked up the chopsticks, looked east and west, ate this dish, and looked at another dish, looking very curious.

Ji Fa poured a wine cup for the boss, and then the two of them drank it all, Ji Fa felt a hint of the taste of light water wine, and it was supposed to be drunk as tea.

"Boss, I'm here from another country, and I want to ask you what's going on here? Why does everyone have a bitter look on their faces? ”
