Even with the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty or even Rome, there was no configuration to transport infantry in horse-drawn carriages, and there were dozens of infantry vehicles in this caravan, with enough 800 infantry, which shows that the caravan was by no means ordinary.

"Third Miss, all the way, you haven't taken a carriage, this is the first time I've met such a young lady." An old man in a black robe among the forwards of the horse team said to the horse knight who was riding forward.

The three young ladies were dressed in silver chain mail, the long hair behind her back was flying in the wind, the helmet and face armor were all wolf head designs, only a pair of eyes were exposed, her voice was low and sexy, and her slender figure was even more thought-provoking, but no one in the guards before and after dared to look at her twice, because everyone knew that this person was the emperor's woman - Chen Yun.

Yan Hou Chen Yun was worried about the horse, and when he heard the old man say this, he replied: "Lao Gan, do you think he can survive?" ”

The old man's surname was Gan Ming, who was the head of the Chen family in charge of Western trade, and the ancestor of Gan Kang was Gan Ying, who had been an envoy to the Great Qin of the West, and fled to the south with the Chen family at the end of the Han Dynasty.

The rapid rise of the Chen family in the Central Plains benefited from trade with the West, which began by sea to Persia and further west, which became known as the Maritime Silk Road.

After Emperor Jin Guang Zhongxing, the Chen family forces entered the north, and naturally opened up land trade.

All adventures in history began with business, and the Chen family's mysterious business empire is where their lifeline lies.

Gan Dare nodded, "Our news should not be false, this kid imitated the Roman political system in Dayue City, and it was also this political system that saved him, although he did a loss-making business with Carodo, the king of Qiuzi, but he has not closed down, they went to Yanqi to buy food this time, and they actually dispatched nearly 10,000 horses, with the wisdom of the Zhuge family, they will never fail to do this deal." ”

"Is that little girl from the Zhuge family also a member of the Western Holy Mission?"

"The chief treasurer also asked me, I really don't know, back then, those Jews are now unknown, who should I ask? Banwu's old ghost hasn't seen outsiders for decades, Third Miss, I said that we take care of so many things in the world? I heard that in the far east, there is a continent, which is larger than the Central Plains, and if the Central Plains is in turmoil, we can go to sea by boat, and go south, and besides, what emperor does not need our gold and silver? Although Sima Dan is clever, he is not worthy of you coming to him from afar, isn't it because he is handsome? Ha ha! ”

"Phew! Disrespectful for the old! ”

"Third Miss, men love women, customs are different in various places, I dare to go all over the world, not like those people who only think that the Central Plains is the center of the world, and the rest are barbarians, in fact, there is a more brilliant culture in the world, there is no right or wrong, good or bad, so Miss Three does not have to be ashamed, hehe!"

"Phew! Arrive in three days, ready for gifts! Chen Yun ignored it and walked away.

******

Prosperous! Sima Dan pushed open the door where Xiao Min was.

It was a study in the palace of the Yanqi King, and Xiao Min was writing one decree after another.

The past few days when I first entered Yanqi City were really complicated, and it took Xiao Min and Zuo Yong to work together to stabilize the situation.

But Sima Dan didn't come to thank her, and now he was angry.

Xiao Min didn't raise his head, and his voice was cold, "See? ”

Sima Dan's face was red with anger, and his voice was like a bell, "You did it?" ”

"You see that? Yanqi people also say that it is the work of the chaotic party? ”

Sima Dan's heart was like a knife, "Xiaomin, that's just an orphan**, the child is not yet ten years old, why are you so cruel?" ”

Xiao Min suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were full of resentment, "Since you want to be the emperor, you must go through inevitable means, and I am ready to bear this qiē for you!" ”

Sima Dan hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, if we fail, let's leave here, okay?" We don't have to do that! ”

"Humph! Do you like children a lot? ”

"Little children? It's not just kids......

Xiao Min's eyes were full of tears, and he said stubbornly: "What's so good about children? I don't want ......."

Sima Dan didn't know, "Xiao Min...... What are you talking about? "Suddenly I felt an inexplicable panic and panic......"

"Dad not only dedicated his life to you, but he also said: I must not be with you, and besides, in order to practice the "spiritual mind", I must not have children...... You know what? Unless I retire after completing my work, then I will lose my boundless wisdom and will never be able to act like a god again......"

Sima Dan was dumbfounded, he had indeed heard that there were people in the world who practiced a mental method called "Spiritual Skill" in order to obtain infinite intelligence, which could never be forgotten and a hundred times smarter, but the person who practiced must give up worldly desires in order to achieve "meditation and oneness", and he didn't expect Xiao Min to also practice this mental method.

Sima Dan was so excited that he felt a fire suddenly burning in his heart, grabbed Xiao Min's shoulders with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Min...... I don't want anything to be the emperor, since we came to Beidaying, all we want is to survive, and then we want to...... I want to help more people survive, but I didn't know you wanted this! Xiao Min...... Let's find a way to leave, as long as I don't go back to the Central Plains, the emperor won't want to kill me, okay? ”

Xiao Min was furious, "What about my father?" Just died in vain, you are so selfish? I...... I've been to that world,...... A lot of people died...... The people of the Central Plains...... All dead...... Do you want that? ”

“…… Xiao Min...... That world ......" Sima Dan didn't understand at all.

"The Western Holy Mission has changed the Mandate of Heaven, the Jin should have lost the Central Plains long ago, and the Central Plains fell into the world of the Hu people, this is the original Mandate of Heaven, they wantonly slaughtered, causing the Central Plains to be unmanned, corpses and bones everywhere, and reduced to the ...... of the desert grassland, I saw it in my dream, and I ...... That's why I promised my father ...... that everything we are doing now is for ...... Oh my God! ”

"I ignore it! Xiao Min...... Why do you believe in dreams? We can only survive in troubled times, even if the dream is real, what can we do? I don't want you to practice this exercise, Xiaomin! I'm begging you not to want it, okay? ”

Xiao Min's heart softened, "Brother Dan, where did your confidence and kindness in front of others go?" You've just ...... Just scolded me for sacrificing others...... That child, can you bear to watch thousands of children die like this? ”

Sima Dan was dazed for a while, "But I ...... I...... I can't kill children anymore because of that! Xiao Min...... It's too complicated, why don't we stay out of here? "Different thoughts in his mind are in a fierce conflict, he doesn't know what to do, he just wants to escape.

"I know you won't! So it's up to me to do it...... The child's mother wants to use him to entrap the old ministers, and as long as he is there, the people of Yanqi can't really forget their identity, unless they are all dead, do you want that? If there are more and more people killed in battle, killing them is the same thing as killing the enemy on the battlefield, understand? ”

"I ...... I ......" Sima Dan's heart was like mud and he couldn't speak.

"You want to say that we have many ways to make him disappear, but his disappearance will only give more hope to the Yanqi people, and even become a myth, we want to establish a republic here, and stabilize the situation within a year, otherwise as soon as the Rouran and Qiuzi people come, the people here will never have a chance, do you want this?"

"This ...... Our plan ...... "Sima Dan's nose was sore, and he finally cried, this is all caused by himself, is this definitely right?"

"Brother Dan...... I know that you are so sad because you hurt me, but I also believe that if you go on this way, you have gradually understood that if you work hard, you can change the fate of many people, you really have the ability, so you are willing, but because of this, you don't know how to choose between two cruel choices, but if you give up, that is the cruelest choice. I agree with what you did to Shenmu, so we have to work harder now, so that we can save Shenmu and keep the safety of Otsuki City, do you understand? ”

"...... Another child to do the price? Sima Dan shook his head, turned around slowly, and walked out, and Xiao Min's sigh came from behind him. His heart ached, but he knew that he couldn't persuade Xiaomin.

He couldn't disagree with Xiao Min's decision, but he didn't want to agree either, when he remembered the appearance of Liu Wei lying in the pool of blood.

He tried to escape, but knowing that it was not right, he walked outside, the sun was shining, and for a moment, he didn't know where he was thinking.

"Prince! General Dragon is here! A guard interrupted his thoughts.

Sima Dan burst into tears and laughed, "Long Er is here, what can I ask him." ”

Xiao Min was crying indoors, and when she heard Sima Dan outside say this, she couldn't help but feel a little sour and a little annoyed, but in the blink of an eye, her heart also hurt, "Brother Dan, who else can you talk to in this world besides me?" If I did leave, you'd be alone, wouldn't you? I swore in front of the Buddha that I would take care of you for the rest of my life, and I was just afraid that one day I wouldn't be able to do it......"

******

The caravan of the Chen family entered Dayue City and brought a sum of income to Dayue City, and Gan Dare took Chen Yun to visit the largest merchant in Dayue City.

Gan Dare said to Chen Yun on the road: "The names of the Persians are much more complicated than ours, and for the needs of business, they also let people call them simple names. ”

Chen Yun nodded: "I understand, the Kuli family has to set up a gold lacquer signboard to do business, I just want people to remember the surname Kuli, the Persians are actually extremely cunning, and now the entire silk business has a lot of monopolies for them." ”

Gan Dare sneered: "If it weren't for us, their business would definitely be better, but they would never get the best silk, business is like this, unlike fighting, now we are in partnership." ”
