The sun was rising in the morning, and the whole camp was immersed in mist. Last night's killing, after a night of precipitation, no one mentions it anymore. And at this moment in the camp, except for Zhao Xiaoxi, who was still sitting in front of a pile of charcoal, Duan Yu also fell asleep.

Duan Yu, who fell asleep next to Zhao Xiaoxi, didn't have to worry about catching a cold. The charcoal fire that exuded a slight momentum still made Duan Yu, who drank too much heroic blood last night, finally couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep on the grass.

Compared with Duan Yu, who failed to hold out until the last moment, Zhao Xiaoxi really didn't see it all night. The three urns placed next to Duan Yu were also collected by Zhao Xiaoxi for him, and he was brought back to Dali for burial after he woke up.

Accepting the power of Wuyazi, Cho Hyo-seok now only needs to meditate for one to two hours to ensure a full mental state for a day. Therefore, sleep is no longer as necessary for him as it used to be.

Looking at the camp surrounded by clouds and mist at this moment, Zhao Xiaoxi also sighed that the air in this time and space was fresh. Especially in this kind of place, you can feel the freshness of the plants and trees of heaven and earth. This is already difficult to feel in later generations.

Looking at Duan Yu, who was sleeping like a child, Zhao Xiaoxi actually understood that no change could be changed overnight. In the final analysis, it is precisely because of Duan Yu's unique identity that he has endured too few king's heirs.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiaoxi was very pleased with Duan Yu's rare benevolent thoughts of the monarch, this kind of monarch may not be able to lead the people to open up the territory, but he can ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is used to keep it, and it can be competent.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who has the intention of unifying the Central Plains and the frontier, also hopes that Duan Yu will be less ambitious. Otherwise, after subduing the Quartet in the future, whether Dali will let it continue is also a question worth considering.

Just when Zhao Xiaoxi was guarding Duan Yu, footsteps came from the place where the two of them were. Look at the people who come by. It was Ba Tianshi, who also rested for a while, and before he could speak, Zhao Xiaoxi had already made a gesture, so that he didn't have to salute and say hello.

Ba Tianshi, who was curious, approached and found that Duan Yu was sleeping in front of Zhao Xiaoxi wearing a cloak. The three newly-made urns were already placed beside Duan Yu's sleeping body. Thinking about it, this prince still failed to hold out until dawn.

Looking at Ba Tianshi's thoughtful expression, Zhao Xiaoxi got up and took him to the small river not far from the camp. After washing his face with the clear and cold water of the river, he said, "Ba Sikong, don't worry too much about some things. ”

Hearing this, Ba Tianshi immediately understood what Zhao Xiaoxi was referring to. I can only sigh that this horse master, when he really has insight into people's hearts, he said with a smile: "The minister understands, I'm tired of the horse master." ”

Regarding Ba Tianshi's words, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said disapprehantly: "Don't worry." No one knows what the future holds. But I believe that Duan Yu can protect this foundation. A monarch being merciful is not necessarily a bad thing.

If those lords of Fanbang can have Duan Yu's kindness, maybe there will be less killing in this world. If you have time, Lord Sikong might as well look at Tubo or Dali. It will only limit your horizons.

Although the people of the Central Plains are accustomed to calling Dali the southwest border. But Lord Sikong should know. Further south of Dali, there is a broader world. There, there are countless strange continents waiting to be visited.

As long as you are given time for the development of Dali, after the country is rich and the people are strong, organize a group of people to explore. You will find that this world is far wider than you think. And the vision of the monarch. will also decide the fate of a country. ”

Listening to Zhao Xiaoxi's seemingly headless and brainless expression, Ba Tianshi couldn't understand for a while what the purpose was. It's just that he knows very well that in the south of Dali, there is indeed a vast world.

More people just think. The high mountains and dangerous roads, coupled with the obstacles, regard it as a real wild place, and few people dare to explore it.

Even the natives who live there are also full of awe from the bottom of their hearts for the vast and endless mountains. On the contrary, the natives there seem to be more eager to contact Dali in exchange for something they desperately need.

As for what Zhao Xiaoxi asked, what is the world at the southern end of Dali, Ba Tianshi really doesn't know very well. Even in the Jiaozhi country bordering Dali, there is not much contact between the border people of the two countries.

These years are no more than the rest of the world, there are planes and ferries. It takes a long time to walk on a pair of feet or a four-legged horse. Although the Jiaozhi Kingdom was given by the Great Song Dynasty, its strength was even worse than that of Dali, and few people would enter the Central Plains.

It is precisely because of these neighboring subject countries that they do not know much about the affairs of the Central Plains. For the Central Plains, it is full of infinite greed. felt that he could enter the Central Plains to show the true character of the monarch.

And the monarch who has no pioneering heart is more willing to guard his own one-third of an acre of land and live a life of so-called imperial inheritance. Even if they give something to the Great Song Dynasty every year, they often can't come up with something too good.

In the same way, the Great Song Dynasty, as the lord of the Central Plains, also looked down on these small border countries. As long as they are honest, the Great Song Dynasty will not hesitate to give them a title and let them stay honest on their own territory.

Although there was a grand occasion of all states coming to the dynasty in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, many of these states are small countries that cannot be named. Many of their national heritages may enter the Central Plains once, and when they come back, they will be almost replaced by others.

Only the inheritance of the Central Plains Dynasty, although it has been replaced countless times since ancient times, is compared to the replacement speed of these small countries. The speed of replacement of the Central Plains Dynasty is undoubtedly much slower.

Winning the Central Plains and winning the world is also a fact that is now widely recognized. This also leads to the fact that many ambitious lords of Fanbang are eager to sit on the throne of the Central Plains and enjoy the glory of all nations.

Just when Zhao Xiaoxi instilled some ideas for Ba Tianshi to broaden his horizons, there was another figure by the river where the two were standing. It was Duan Yu, who was still asleep before, who walked over with a somewhat distressed expression.

'Fourth brother, Uncle Ba, you are all awake. Why don't you call me? ’

After waking up and looking at the urn placed on his side, Duan Yu understood that the matter of collecting the ashes of the corpse last night must have been done by Zhao Xiaoxi for him. Duan Yu is also grateful to this fourth brother who is obviously younger than him, but he thinks more about everything than him.

Looking at Duan Yu's somewhat hungover-like appearance, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "It's okay, we just woke up not long ago." Seeing that you are still asleep, come here and take a cool shower. Now that you're awake, you should feel better by taking a wash. ”

Give up a seat to Duan Yu, hold a pool of clear water Duan Yu, and feel the coolness between his fingers. I also feel a headache, and it seems to be a lot better. Splashing this cold water on his face, the whole person immediately shuddered.

This kind of river water, which is a little cold and biting, really sobered up Duan Yu, who had just woken up. When the three of them returned to the camp, they also saw guards and guards coming out of the tent one after another.

As for Zhong Ling and the others, who woke up last night at the earliest, they seemed to be still asleep at the moment. Mu Wanqing and Wang Yuyan, who woke up last night, were also asleep at the moment, and Zhao Xiaoxi didn't let anyone disturb them.

On the contrary, with Duan Yu and others, they began to build a simple stove and cook some simple and delicious food. After breakfast, they continued on their way. At that time, I think that the mist that shrouded the grassland will dissipate a lot.

It's still easy to get lost in such a situation where you don't have a good line of sight. Therefore, if Zhao Xiaoxi and the others want to continue on their journey, they have to wait until these mist dissipates. Taking advantage of the time, boiling a few pots of rice porridge is also just right to pass the time.

As the porridge in the pot began to exude fragrance, Mu Wanqing, who was sleeping in the tent, quickly opened her eyes. When she returned to the tent last night, although she and Wang Yuyan didn't chat much, they didn't feel much sleep.

As a result, it was not until it was close to the early hours of the morning that the irrepressible sleepiness sent them to sleep one after another. When I woke up, I smelled the aroma of porridge wafting into the tent.

felt that at this time, Mu Wanqing, who might have gotten up everyone, also seemed a little anxious. He quickly put on a cloak made of fine fur, pulled out the tent and walked out. At this moment, Wang Yuyan also opened her slightly tired eyes.

Looking at Mu Wanqing who walked out of the tent, Wang Yuyan also sighed that her physical strength and vigilance were much behind Mu Wanqing. It's a pity that although she is familiar with the world's martial arts, she is powerless.

In this kind of outing, her role is indeed far inferior to Mu Wanqing. And the other girls also have some self-preservation. Even Cho Hyo-seok's younger sister, Cho Mo, can also ride a horse and shoot arrows.

This feeling of being able to act as a protected person makes Wang Yuyan feel a little uncomfortable. But now she is almost ten years old, and if she wants to learn martial arts, it is too late. It's just weird, it's useless to be young!

When Mu Wanqing walked out of the tent and came to Zhao Xiaoxi, who was sitting around chatting. Seeing her coming, Ba Tianshi and the others also hurriedly got up and saluted. For this princess of Dali, Ba Tianshi and others are also very fond of her.

Compared with Zhong Ling and Ah Zi, they are more innocent, and this princess undoubtedly seems much more stable. Although none of them announced their identities to the public, Ba Tianshi and the others knew very well that Mu Wanqing's status as a princess was recognized by Duan Zhengming's brothers.

In addition, she is the future princess of the county, Ba Tianshi knows very well that to a certain extent, Mu Wanqing also shoulders the important task of revitalizing Dali. Give it some due respect, Ba Tianshi, these important ministers of Dali, also feel that they should take it for granted.

Accustomed to the respect of these Dali courtiers, Mu Wanqing also returned the salute and sat next to Zhao Xiaoxi. As for what others will think, her relationship with Zhao Xiaoxi, in fact, Mu Wanqing really doesn't care much.

For her, it doesn't matter whether she has the identity of Princess Dali or not. The most important thing is that as long as Cho Hyo-seok doesn't dislike her, then she feels like she has everything. After all, at this moment, her body and mind are all hung on Zhao Xiaoxi's body. (To be continued......)
