"Comfortable and comfortable, eating fried silkworm chrysalis and drinking a cup of black tea is really the ultimate enjoyment of life......"

Yu Wuya was wearing big shorts and a vest, and after drinking a cup of hot tea, he lay on the mat and praised repeatedly.

Chen Xu was dressed in the same costume, also lying on the mat, looking up at the moon in the sky in a daze.

"What is the husband thinking?" Shui sat barefoot beside him, wearing a loose silk skirt, her hair still not drying swayed slightly with the night breeze, and her beautiful eyes shimmered slightly in the moonlight.

"Time flies so fast, it's mid-autumn again in the blink of an eye!" Chen Xu sighed with emotion.

"Yes, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Xianyang must be more lively, but we can spend mid-autumn in Hangzhou, and go to the West Lake to see the hometown of the White Lady, which is also another kind of joy!" The water whispered softly.

"Senior sister thinks too much, the legend of the white snake is just a mythical story that Engong read from the book of heaven, how can there be a snake demon and the immortal ......grass of the living dead between heaven and earth," Yu Wuya pouted beside him and said.

"The husband once said that when the fake is true, the truth is also false, there is no place for inaction, and the prince also said that the people who have attained the Tao in the world are not born and do not change, and they will last forever, who can tell whether the truth is true or false, whether the legend of the White Snake is true or false, in my heart Bai Suzhen is a strange woman of flesh and blood, this time I went to Hangzhou, I want to go to the ** mountain to pay tribute!"

"I'll go with you then, but Brother Yu is right, this is just a mythical story, don't take it too seriously, but Hangzhou West Lake is indeed beautiful, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is the time of the Qiantang tide, just when we can enjoy this rare wonder of the world......"

Chen Xu sat up, held Shui's soft hand and persuaded a few words with a smile, then turned his head to look at Yu Wuya and asked, "Brother Yu, you sent the floating grass we left in the cave that day to Cuihua Peak, what did Zijin's elders say?" ”

"Engong didn't say it, I almost forgot!" Yu Wuya also got up with a grunt, "That floating grass is a rare elixir in the world, only people who have great creation can encounter it, Luo Shengtang has an elixir scripture, and the floating grass ranks seventh, and it is the main medicine used to refine Pei Yuan Dan, the floating grass you got is ripe, but unfortunately there are two fruits on it that are lost, otherwise the medicinal effect will be more than ten times stronger, but Zijin's master said that when the refining is successful, he will give Engong a grain as a thank you!" ”

"That's a good feeling!" Chen Xu immediately closed his mouth happily when he heard this, "When will it be able to refine?" ”

"I don't know, I heard that there are still seven or eight flavors of medicinal herbs missing......"

Chen Xu: ......

Nima heard that Pei Yuan Dan only needed a total of seven or eight flavors of medicinal materials, and there were still seven or eight flavors left with floating grass, didn't he say that there was no flavor at all.

"Engong doesn't need to be so frustrated, if the real Rashengtang can successfully refine and give you a pill, you still have to step up your practice of the internal breathing exercises I taught you, otherwise it will be no different from jelly beans when you eat it, alas!"

Yu Wuya thought of the Pei Yuan Dan that was eaten by Chen Xu at the beginning, and couldn't help but sigh and glance at Shui Qingrou, Shui Qing's delicate body trembled slightly, and shook his head softly and said: "The floating grass is not easy to get, those two lost fruits should have been eaten by Wukong, Luo Shengtang has the method of alchemy, and if he gets the floating grass, he will inevitably find the remaining medicinal materials, maybe ten or twenty years later, he will refine the Pei Yuan Dan, so the husband still cultivates more diligently on weekdays, and when the time comes, when he gets the pill, maybe he will have the opportunity to break through the realm of the innate avenue!" ”

Ten years, twenty years......

Chen Xu's cheeks twitched slightly under the moonlight, and he decided not to think about it so far for the time being, so he changed the topic and asked: "Brother Yu is from Xianyang, have you heard some new news about Xianyang?" ”

Yu Wuya shook his head slightly and said: "After we went down the mountain to Qinghe Courtyard, we learned that Engong you have been away for half a month, so we hurried to Qinghe Town, in order to hurry, directly rode the sweat and blood BMW sent back by Dr. Meng and Qi Fu Ling, the speed of the sweat and blood BMW is indeed fast, we rushed to Lushan in five days, and then found the floating grass on the mountain, so we had to return to Xianyang to go to Taiyi Mountain Cuihua Peak, this came and went was delayed for more than a month, so there was no time to go to Xianyang to inquire about the news, But before leaving, the housekeeper stuffed some of the latest newspapers in the package, and I went to fetch them to read it! ”

"No need, it's getting late, let's go down to get the newspaper together, Brother Yu is tired from traveling all day long, let's go and rest early!" Chen Xu stood up.

"It's good!" Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou both stood up.

At this time, the night was deep, and the three of them were still resting on the entire veranda, and looking at the entire Changshui County, it was already in the dead of night at this time, and the lights were sparse, and only a few dog barks could be heard occasionally, which was extremely quiet and serene under the cool moonlight.

Go downstairs and get the newspaper.

Ying Shi, Meng, Wanyu, Ji Xia Zijin and others had already slept for a long time, and the entire post station was extremely quiet, only a few lanterns emitted a faint halo under the moonlight.

But this tranquility is only superficial, in fact, there are more than a dozen heavily armed guards and more than a dozen musketeers with loaded guns on the roofs of the attic of the courtyard walls around the perimeter, which only drains the water inside and outside the post house.

Chen Xu sat cross-legged on the couch on the second floor, carefully reading the seven or eight newspapers brought by Yu Wuya by the light of the oil candle.

As is customary, read the front page first.

At the beginning of May, Li Xin, the Marquis of Di Dao, led a large army guarding the Western Regions to return to the court to offer prisoners, and dozens of civil and military officials from the six departments of the three provinces went out to the west gate to greet him, causing tens of thousands of people to cheer and watch.

The 6th Keju League entered the second round of the competition, and the Luoyang Relentless team, which participated in the league for the first time, advanced to the first place in Group C, and the bookmaker offered a odds of four to one for its promotion to the top eight......

"Gentle, does this ruthless have a background?" Chen Xu pointed to the newspaper and asked, who was writing on the desk and saw and heard along the way.

"Husband, this word is pronounced as ******* gently pointed to the 'ruthless' with his finger to correct, thought for a moment and said, "The ruthless is an ancient strange beast recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, born in the netherworld, and then imprisoned by the great god on Penglai Immortal Island, the body is like a cow but has four horns, the hair is slender and like a cloth, the temperament is fierce and cruel and likes to eat the living, similar to Qiqi, it is one of the ten fierce beasts!" ”

"Hehe, the Luoyang team is named Ruthless, it seems that its ambition is not small......" Chen Xu smiled and put down the newspaper and picked up another one.

In the middle of May, the commander of the Western Army, Marquis Jingwu, returned to Beijing, and the court broke out that the Western Army wantonly resold enamel equipment, and the people in the court were in an uproar......

The Marquis of Qinghe sent an envoy back to Beijing to offer 30 tubes of Ziyunxian tea to the first emperor, which aroused the enthusiasm of the princes and princes......

Marquis Jingwu left Beijing and returned to the camp of the Western Army, and his nephew Meng Yun and several leaders of Qi and Gao who prepared for the Keju League left Beijing to serve in the Western Army......

"It turned out that Meng Yun and they went to join the army, no wonder they want to return a few sweaty and bloody horses to me!" Chen Xu suddenly realized when he saw this, but at the same time, he couldn't cry and laugh with some bared teeth, and countless people celebrated with their crowns, I am afraid that it is not to celebrate that this group of gentlemen who are rampant in Xianyang have finally left.

At the end of May, the reconstruction and expansion of the south of the city was completed, the Ministry of Engineering ordered the personal inspection and acceptance, the south of the city freight terminal was officially put into operation, and the terminal management company was formally prepared to be established, and all the ships were registered and managed......

The construction of Beijing Normal University is in the final stage, and all the buildings and buildings have been completed, and the final stage of renovation and greening is underway......

At the beginning of June, the main building of the library was topped out, and the construction of Shengxian Avenue began.

In mid-June, the foundation stone of the Great Hall and the Chinese Shrine was laid......

At the end of June, the main body of the outpatient building of Qinghe Hospital was completed...... The plan for the reform of the military system of the Marquis of Qinghe was sent to Beijing, and the first emperor summoned Chongqing to play the right ...... after studying it for a few days

On the third day of the seventh month, the First Emperor officially ordered the world to begin the reform of the military system, and the new military system involved complexity, and the Western Army bore the brunt......

It took half an hour for Chen Xu to read the front page of seven or eight newspapers, basically there were no unexpected events, and the military reform he was most concerned about was also under control, Meng Tian and the Western Army were spared for a year by the first emperor's downplay of fines, and the military reform book he sent back was almost completely accepted by the first emperor and began to be implemented.

"Whew~~" Chen Xu instantly felt extremely relaxed.

The reform of the military system was almost the last and most important reform task of his reform of Daqin, so that the economic, cultural, military and other major reforms were all completed, and the rest was to tinker and adjust until the ideal and perfect point was reached.

If there is any reform task that has not been completed, it is the political system, but this step is like walking a tightrope, and if it is good, it will be broken.

Therefore, in Chen Xu's view, whether to take this step or not has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The important thing is that Daqin has embarked on the road of enriching the country and strengthening the army step by step under his strong push, and in the remaining year, his main task is to promote the Tantu plan, and then fully prepare to deal with the catastrophe of the first emperor's life, which is also a nine-year catastrophe for him, and the rest can be abandoned for the time being.

However, after reading the newspaper, it was also mixed.

There was no news from Li Shun's mission.

Calculating the time, Li Shun has been envoy to the West for more than two years, Daqin has contacts with the countries of the Western Regions and even Dawan, and some news from Dawan can still be seen in the newspaper, but there is no whereabouts of Li Shun's mission.

Thinking of the experience of Zhang Qian's envoys to Dawan and Daxia and other countries in history, as well as the current state of barbarism in Central Asia and Western Asia, Chen Xu was very worried about the life of Li Shun's mission, and maybe it was already a mess.

Because the ghost place of Central Asia and West Asia has been in turmoil for more than 2,000 years, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran are all a group of stunned people, and the restlessness cannot be stopped, coupled with the interference of the former Soviet Union and Western countries, it is like a powder keg that has never calmed down.

The main reason for the unrest is the conflict between race and religious beliefs.

The people of this region are extremely complex, and since time immemorial, ethnic invasions and battles have been almost as refreshing.

The Aryans of ancient Persia invaded Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent around 1,500 BC, resulting in the fusion of Central Asian and Eastern European races, thus giving birth to the Slavic race and the Caucasian race, as well as the Serbs in various tribes of the Western Regions and the Sogdians in Dawan and Shule and other countries, etc., all of which are genetically modified products caused by the invasion of the Aryans.

The Aryan invasion was accompanied by a religion, Zoroastrianism, which officially entered the primitive Zoroastrian era in Central Asia, West Asia and India.

Religion is a product of pure thought, and it has no use, but it is very demagogic, so the believers will be stubborn.

After the Aryans, the Persians rose to prominence, conquering the Eastern Cypriots in the 5th century BC, conquering Bactria and large areas of the Indus Valley, and the light of the Persian gods began to shine on Central and Western Asia.

However, the Persians did not linger for long, and in the fourth century BC, there was another great giant called Alexander the Great in Central Asia and Western Asia, who brought not only brave warriors, but also Greek gods, and in the face of Central Asia and India, which were ruled and influenced by Zoroastrianism, Alexander the Great forced the conquered peoples to worship the Greek gods instead, which was the second religious shock in the region, which was later called the Hellenistic period.

But Alexander's empire soon collapsed, and Central Asia and West Asia fell into chaos again, with races of different faiths such as Cypriots, Dravidians, Aryans, Persians, and Greeks living together, and under the influence of different religions, Greek gods and Persian gods and even the native gods of Central Asia and India were mixed together After playing mahjong a few times, some new religions began to emerge, and various gods and religions in Central Asia and West Asia appeared and blended one after another. This gave birth to the most complex and entangled chaos in the Middle East in human civilization.

And what Chen Xu didn't know was that because of the fact that he, the little butterfly that had crossed over, flapped his wings lightly, in fact, the Xiongnu and the Yueshi people were also driven to Central Asia hundreds of years in advance, these two nomadic peoples with the hatred of destroying the country and the grievance of losing their homeland, like two mad dogs, carried the advanced tactics of scales and claws learned from Daqin, armed with crappy saddles and stirrups, and brandished tattered weapons, to break a way out of this world.

As a result, just when the Great Qin vigorously promoted the reform of the military system, and the whole country vigorously threw itself into the unprecedented smooth road plan, the Western countries fell into a bloody war.

Kangju, Dawan, Daxia, body poison, and rest are all involved.

This melee killed and injured more than one million people, affecting an area of more than millions of square kilometers, which can be called the largest war in Central Asia in a century, and the initiator is Chen Xu, the left minister of the Great Qin who is now pinching the newspaper and full of worries.

If Li Shun's mission does not return, it will have to wait a few more years to find out the situation in the West, it is unimaginable to march from the Western Regions to conquer the West, and no strong country can support this kind of ultra-long-distance military projection for a long-term war, so what can be done next is to speed up the construction of seaports and build a large number of sea ships to promote the early arrival of the Age of Discovery.

The night is like water, the bright moon is hanging high, the oil candle has burned to the end, and in the silent night, there is the sound of Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang

"Husband, it's late at night, let's rest and sleep early, we have to hurry tomorrow morning!" Shui gently put down the brush in his hand and reminded softly.

Under the faint candlelight, Chen Xu's face flickered.

Hearing this, he let out a long breath and nodded, put down the newspaper and hugged the water to sleep softly.
