It is also said that there was once a Mongol general who wanted to explore the Valley of the Black Wind and sent two elite thousand-man teams into it, but the result was like a stone in the sea, and no echo was heard. Since then, the Valley of the Black Wind has become a no-go zone, and no one even wants to mention this place.

Outside the Black Wind Valley is also the Death Forbidden Zone, that is, the Death Desert, which is said to be the battlefield of many great wars in history, and there are more bones than sand in the desert.

Strange things inevitably happen in strange places, and strange things happen in the desert of death, often with human-shaped whirlwinds blowing up and swallowing passers-by, even horses and vehicles disappear in an instant.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard what Baturu told him.

Zhou Dingcheng didn't know what the origin of this place was, but he saw that this place deviated from the travel route of the other place for more than a thousand miles, and if he could transfer those people from outside to this place, then the goal would be achieved.

"What are you busy with these days, why haven't you seen a few of them?"

Besides, I suddenly thought of Baturu, I hadn't seen him and a few interpreters in the past few days, and although I didn't need them yet, I always felt strange that I couldn't see anyone.

"As soon as they arrived, they were invited by Wang Chonggu, saying that they were asking a few people to help translate some Mongolian information." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

"Isn't there anyone here who is proficient in Mongolian?"

"There should be, but Baturu and they are all experts and scholars, and Wang Chonggu may have to borrow them to translate some materials that ordinary people can't understand." Zhou Dingcheng guessed.

Besides, I stopped asking and concentrated on drawing that treasure map.

He once did this kind of thing to make fake paintings, and it was in Fengyang, when he was also trapped in the trap of the treasure map and couldn't get out, so he had to make a fake picture to get by.

I was busy until the evening, and I was almost busy, mainly because the fraud was too difficult to do, after all, the people who wanted to fool were shrewd and ghost-like guys, and if there were too many flaws, they would be seen through at a glance.

Moreover, it is also for this reason that the fake treasure map is divided into several pieces, and some flaws are not so conspicuous and are not easy to be identified.

Although he is very confident in his counterfeiting skills, he has no choice but that the time is too short, and it will take ten days or even months to create a fake painting.

Fortunately, there is no need to imitate anyone, and there is no need to think about whether it looks like it, just paint a landscape painting, and then it is the counterfeiting process, and finally it is divided into several pieces for preservation. The biggest difficulty is to hide the geographical elements in the landscape paintings, and to design a labyrinthine route, so that even if someone gets all the maps, they may not be able to find the right address without spending a while researching.

Thinking that those hateful guys outside had managed to get all the drawings, but in the end they were led into the Desert of Death, and when he saw the Black Wind Canyon, he would wake up laughing when he dreamed.

Although it is said that you can't hurt others, but others want to harm you, what can you do but return the way to others.

By midnight, the fake treasure map had been made, divided into five pieces, and placed in different places in the study.

He didn't tell Jun about these places, but he couldn't hide from Jun's clairvoyance.

After finishing his work, he returned to his bedroom and sat down with Zhou Dingcheng to drink.

These days, Zuo Ling is still busy purchasing materials all day long, and if he wants to go out of the customs, he needs too many things, and this is the last stop of procurement.

Li Xiangjun lives in a suite with Fei'er and Wan'er, Li Xiangjun is afraid that Zuo Ling will be jealous, so she has been hiding from her these days, and she doesn't go to her.

Every night, besides, he is still alone in a room, he brings two wives and many beautiful women, and most people envy his Yanfu, but few people know that he is alone every night, even Xiaojun and Zhuo Maolin admire his strong concentration.

Besides, it's not that I'm strong, but I have too many troubles on my body, and now I'm thinking about how to solve these troubles, and I don't have the leisure to think about anything else.

"Wait a little longer and send a signal to Jun so that he is ready to do it." Besides, leaning on the Taishi chair leisurely, drinking fine wine, and relaxing his whole body, there will basically be nothing for him to do in the future, and others will be responsible for the implementation of the plan.

"How's the time?" Zhou Dingcheng looked at the hourglass on the table.

"Wait a little longer, there's no hurry. What happened at the border? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that there are a lot of Tatar elite soldiers under the pass, I heard that they came to protect the little prince, Wang Chonggu and they are not at ease, and they are on guard all night." Zhou Ding became enlightened.

Besides, he nodded: "This is as it should be, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, who knows if the other party will find an excuse to launch a sudden attack." What do you think of the border here, if the king of Altan attacks with all his might in the autumn, will they be able to withstand it? ”

"I see enough, our trouble is that there are too many places to defend, the nine border passes must be heavily guarded, but the Tatars may do their best to attack one of our border passes, they are all cavalry, fast maneuvering, and the focus of the attack is also very fast, and it is impossible to prevent it."

"Well, I think so, too. So this time, I still want to think if I can sit down with King Altan and Sect Leader Zhao and have a good talk, and reach a compromise agreement on a comprehensive truce and open a mutual market. Even if it can be delayed for ten or eight years, the imperial court can take a breath. ”

"It's okay to talk to King Ida, but it's a big taboo to negotiate with Zhao Quan." Zhou Dingcheng said a little uneasy.

"Bullshit, everyone knows that if you want to negotiate with Tatar, you can't get past Zhao Quan, but you don't say so on the surface. I wonder if we can treat the White Lotus Sect in the same way as the Quanzhen Sect and the Heavenly Master Sect, and also give them the right to preach in the interior, so as to ask them to promise not to rebel, but to accept the management of the imperial court. Didn't they just want missionary rights? ”

"If you think like this, the emperor may agree, but I'm afraid Lord Zhang won't be able to get through."

"Master Zhang, I want to find a way to make sense, the key is to see if Zhao Quan will open his mouth and refuse to give in? That's where the biggest headache comes in. And said with a wry smile.

When he came to the border, he also changed a lot of ideas, one of which is that negotiation is very important, and it is for both the enemy and us, but unfortunately Zhang Juzheng gave him only one choice, that is, to say no.

Zhao Quan will not agree, what he is asking for is the status of the state religion. You know the state religion, it is the only orthodox religion in the country, and even the emperor has to believe in religion. In the sect, Zhao Quan has the most power. Zhou Dingcheng also had a wry smile on his face.

"State religion status? The emperor still has to believe in their religion? What do they want to do, the lion doesn't open his mouth like this. "And I was really taken aback.

He didn't know what the specific requirements of the White Lotus Sect were, but he heard that they had been asking for missionary rights in the mainland, and according to his thoughts, if they could stop the fighting, it would be okay to give them missionary rights.

Like the Heavenly Master Sect, who rebelled from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the Two Jin Dynasty, the imperial court did not adopt a policy of appeasement in the end, nor did it really eliminate them. In that case, why can't the White Lotus Sect enjoy the same treatment?

However, if it is really like what Zhou Dingcheng said, then there is no room for relaxation, let alone the imperial court, he will not be the first to agree. He didn't want to be a member of any denomination.

"There's no way, who let the emperor Taizu of this dynasty be a disciple of Mingjiao, and he borrowed the power of Mingjiao to ascend to the throne of God at the beginning, but then Taizu destroyed Mingjiao with his backhand, he just didn't want to be controlled by others. However, the White Lotus Sect thinks that it is a descendant of the Ming Sect, so it has always wanted to regain its lost status. Zhou Dingcheng sighed.

"I know what you said, that's the old emperor's calendar, everything should pay attention to the era, now is not the founding era, the current emperor is not Emperor Taizu, they really have the ability, go underground to find Emperor Taizu to return to the status of the religion." Besides, he said irritably.

"So, how can you talk about this, I don't think you can talk about it." Zhou Dingcheng laughed.

"Indeed, if that were to be the case, I would not be able to talk about it. Don't talk about this, it's almost time, hurry up and send a code to Xiaojun. Then he got up and said.

Zhou Dingcheng was just about to go out, and when he went outside to give Xiao Jun a secret signal, Xiao Jun had already sneaked out and waited outside the post house.

"No, wait a minute." Besides, he suddenly stopped Zhou Dingcheng, and then listened attentively.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Dingcheng asked.

"Haha, Xiaojun is really okay, he probably can't wait and do it himself. No, how is this guy messing around with my stuff? ”

Moreover, there is a distance between the study and the bedroom, and the study is also the place where the office is located.

"You mean there's movement in your study?" Zhou Dingcheng was taken aback.

"yes, wait a minute, it's not good, the study is really in the thief." Besides, he was shocked.

After he finished speaking, he rushed out, but Zhou Dingcheng hurriedly grabbed him: "What are you rushing out, I don't know if it's a thief or an assassin yet, you have to stay here." ”

Zhou Dingcheng turned around and rushed out, shouting, "There are thieves, there are assassins, there are people." ”

Ji Chang was patrolling the alert state outside, and when he heard the shout, he hurriedly rushed over with the guards.

"The adult's study has entered the person, you leave some people to protect the adult, and the other people will go to the study with me." After Zhou Dingcheng finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed to the study.

Ji Chang took more than 20 guards out of the sheath and guarded them outside the bedroom, and four guards were also arranged inside, and at the same time, he was also dispatching people to protect him layer by layer.

"It's fine, maybe just a thief, not an assassin." Besides, he looked at the location of the study and said.

"My lord, let's rest somewhere, it's not safe here." Ji Chang walked in.

If someone is coming for the situation, they should change to a hidden place to rest, and this and the study are places of rest that outsiders know.

"No, the person who came is just a person, and he can't rush here at all." Besides, I still listened to the spiritual truth.

"Can you hear the movement in the study?" Ji Chang was very surprised.

Besides, his ears are surprisingly sharp, and not many people know about it, and he usually doesn't show this ability.

"I can hear some movement, but I don't know very well." Besides.

If Ji Chang knew that what he heard was the sound of the person who entered his study turning the paper, as well as the sound of footsteps moving, and even the sound of breathing, I am afraid it would not be something that could be described by the word surprise.
