On the fifth day, Zhao Gaotian had already packed up before dawn.

After carefully writing an idiom in the palm of his hand and secretly injecting spiritual power, he covered it all up and walked to the Yongle Hall to say goodbye to Ji Le.

At this time, Ji Le pulled the young man to talk homely.

"Do you like children?"

"Children?" said the young man honestly: "In our era, we believed in 'hugging grandchildren but not children', and I didn't even hug my own son. ”

After thinking about it, the young man said, "Maybe you don't like it, do you?" Thinking of his own child, who also died young, he had mixed senses. After all, he was so young when he died, and he was not prepared for his father's heart at all.

How can a husband take care of his children's private affairs if he takes the world as his business?

But after all, it was the first child, and the young man still had some special thoughts......

Speaking of which, I rarely even see that child's face.

At this moment, the young man could not remember the appearance of his own child at all.

But from the history books, he learned that the child also died young, and he was less than half his age, which made him deeply doubt whether there was something wrong with his lineage.

"Looking at your expression, unlike people who don't like children, why don't you find a child to raise?" Ji Le picked up the bitter soup, twisted his brows and poured down a small half bowl.

The young man shook his head: "Not available." "He even fostered his own son elsewhere back then, how could he have kung fu milk children?

Ji Le smiled, didn't speak, lowered his eyes and thought secretly: In the end, it is better to die than to survive alone. But looking at his appearance, I'm afraid that the newborn spirit won't help take care of it. Anyway, with the old man here, they don't need this guy. What if the spirit of the country is crooked?

So, Ji Le patted the young man on the shoulder and made a pun: "I'm afraid it's hard for me to go out, and I can't enjoy the scenery of the land." Then you will take my place in the view of these countries. ”

Then Ji Le ordered someone to send Zhao Gao and the young man and a group of more than ten people away.

Their journey to the east was different from that of the women who went to the sidelines. There were too many people on the woman's side, and she was escorted to the side with tens of thousands of slave troops, and she couldn't use the magic talisman too many times on the way. But Zhao Gao's side is different, they are few in number, and they run wildly with the magic talisman all the way, and soon come to Caro City.

After a short rest, head to the first stop of the Eastern Kingdoms, Tianzhou City.

......

Seeing the two teams leave, Ji Le asked Yu Yuan to contact Yang Ke again.

Looking at the bronze mirror placed in the bedroom, Ji Le lamented in his heart: Contacting Yang Ke all day long, it's troublesome! It's not my girlfriends, and even if it's my girlfriends, they don't have three phone calls in the morning, noon and evening, so diligent.

In Luo An Middle School, Yang Ke and his party repelled the zombies that attacked at night. Walking in front of the bronze mirror, the blood on Yang Ke's armor was too late to wipe it off.

"What's the situation over there?" the two said in unison, paused, and Ji Le said first: "Everything in the city is under control, what about you?"

"No problem. There weren't many zombies last night, so it didn't slow down the process. Suddenly, Yang Ke's words changed: "The fort on my side was completed as scheduled, and your Spirit Palace is preparing cannonballs......

It just so happened that Wu Li walked in, and when he heard this, he was slightly in a daze: "Cannonball?

Oops, Yu Yu secretly said in her heart that it was not good, and she didn't talk to her uncle about this matter in advance.

Ke Jile reacted quickly and said seriously: "Yang Ke, you are talking nonsense again! Say, there are not many people in the Spirit Palace, you can do your own work." ”

Yang Ke glanced at the red spiders in the gap between the temples, and immediately followed: "Haha, aren't I just joking?

"I'm sorry, I can't bear it. Then, Ji Le said cryptically: "Don't worry, although people don't go, things will definitely be delivered." In this game, we have won. ”

The spider sent the words of the two back to Nanyushan.

Several evil gods looked at the projection rising in the hall, and noticed that Yang Ke and Ji Le were stiffly changing the topic, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Owl: "Could it be that they noticed that we were snooping?"

"No, it's like they're cautious and don't want to talk about it in public. The pregnant woman said, "They just changed the topic when the witch came in. It's not so much about being wary of us as it is about witchcraft. After all, there was also a battle within the Spirit Palace. ”

The pregnant girl is also the great predecessor of the Spirit Palace, and she is the mainstay of the Ten Witches of the Spirit Palace and the cultivation of the witch family. In her eyes, Ji Le and Yang Ke were talking like that, to a large extent, to conceal the witch ceremony.

"So, that thing could really exist?"

"Think about it, last night three thousand zombies attacked the city. However, none of the zombies were able to get to the vicinity of the 'Turre', indicating that they did take the facility seriously. ”

The evil gods were suspicious and gradually believed in the so-called fort plan.

Yubi waved his hand: "No matter what the plan is, just crush it with zombies, I don't believe it, 50,000 zombies can't kill them, only 10,000 people!"

But the pregnant woman thought of another point: what is the use of dealing with the battery, directly grabbing the "cannonball" is the key. Is that thing in the Spirit Palace? Just go back and see it tonight.

At this point, the spider continues to deliver messages.

I only heard Yang Ke ask: "There is a plague in the city, is it okay to build a festival?"

Yu Yu pursed her lips with a sad expression: "You also know Jianjie's situation, his physique is already prone to illness, and he has been tricked now." As for His Highness......"

As long as one citizen is born, Ji Le will suffer with it, not to mention that now the plague has completely broken out?

"Jianjie was recruited?" Yang Ke had a dark face: "Didn't you let you look at him more?"

"We look at what is the use. This thing is scattered randomly, who knows who will be unlucky today?" Ji Le rubbed his head: "Or do you think I deliberately went to harm Deng Kai?

Deng Kai?

Hearing this name, the pregnant girl's face changed slightly, but then the two sides did not continue to talk deeply, and after exchanging information about each other, Yang Ke closed the bronze mirror.

Deng Kai......

The pregnant woman felt a pang in her heart, it seems that she must go to Jiugong City tonight.

......

The eastern countries are built near the sea, and their national strength is inferior to that of the inland countries. However, because of its proximity to the coast, for some unspeakable reason, the belief in the gods here is relatively strong, and the gods are mostly attributed to the two lines of the Sun Lord and the Thunder God.

The group rushed to Tianzhou City and saw the cliff like a boat in the distance, Zhao Gao took out the information that had been prepared a long time ago and explained to the young man: "Tianzhou City, as the name suggests, is named after this Tianzhou Mountain. Legend has it that this boat is an artifact of the fall of the gods. ”

The cliffs in the shape of boats are hundreds of meters high, and the bow of the ship rises sharply, jutting into the sky.

"It was with the help of Tianzhou Mountain that the coastal countries of the East China Sea were inspired to create such a thing as a 'boat'. And the original founder established a city under Tianzhou Mountain, which is now Tianzhou Kingdom. ”

The advent of ships promoted the development of the maritime industry. The founder was rewarded with the power of humanity, ignited the divine fire, awakened the divine blood, and became a demigod under the Sun God Throne.

That's right, just demigods. Because the era of belief in the gods has not yet really arrived, this demigod with the blood of a god cannot really ascend to the throne. However, this demigod, as the founder of Tianzhou City, landed the divine light to protect the city, so that Tianzhou City could avoid many natural disasters and prosper under the protection of the gods.

The young man and Zhao Gao looked at it from afar, and they could feel the divine power in Tianzhou City.

Warm and warm, it is the unique brilliance of the Sun God line.

"Let's go!" The young man didn't say much, and led a group of more than ten people to Tianzhou City.

What they fear most is that the gods are stumbling behind their backs. But perhaps because Ji Le sold the Sun Temple and had a great relationship, the ship god did not come out to trouble them, and let this group enter Tianzhou City.

Of course, it doesn't help much. Whether they can convince the lord of the country not to send troops to the Xia State depends on Zhao Gao's own tongue.

Walking into Tianzhou City, you will be greeted by countless criss-crossing waterways.

Tianzhou City is built by the water, and the means of transportation for the citizens on weekdays is the small kayaks on the waterway. The group took out Xia Guo's papers, and the guards did not stop them too much, and sent a guide to take them to the mayor.

That's right, although Tianzhou City is regarded as a "country" in the Xia Kingdom, they themselves are only called "city", and the leader is called "mayor".

The envoys embarked on small kayaks.

The young man, Zhao Gao, and the guide were in front, and the other envoys were in the two kayaks behind.

As the kayak paddled by, the waves shimmered.

Zhao Gao muttered to the young man: "The customs and habits here are very strange, Your Excellency must be patient." ”

"I'm not stupid. The young man carefully observed the houses on both sides of the waterway. There are many children in the vicinity of the house, but their faces are a little unhealthy.

"Sallow-faced, should it be related to food?" Zhao Gao was also observing the livelihood of Tianzhou City, looking for a way to negotiate with Tianzhou City.

So, on the way, I started a conversation with the guide. But the guide had some scruples, and refused to mention too much about Tianzhou City, and only said some common sense.

For example, there are fewer slaves in Tianzhou City. Try not to go to the slum side, it's too dangerous, etc.

Through only a few questions, Zhao Gao gradually figured out the general situation of Tianzhou City.

The city is famous for its shipbuilding industry, and its economy is not up to the same level as in the Eastern countries. And food was too dependent on imports, and if there was a problem with the sea routes, it would cause famine, so there were not many people who could support slaves. Instead, when the famine came, the rich would emancipate the slaves, give them their freedom, and let them go to the slums to fend for themselves.

"In this way, in the end, we have to start with food. ”

Finally, when getting off the small kayak, a little boy accidentally bumped into Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao smiled and helped the little boy up, and took out a piece of pastry from his arms and handed it to the child: "Come, give it to you." ”

Smelling the aroma, the child's nose moved, revealing a longing look. He turned his head to look at the guide, who nodded slightly, and then quickly picked up the rice cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Beside them, those children who were playing saw this scene and also ran over to beg for snacks.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Everybody has it. ”

Zhao Gao took out a dozen rice cakes out of nowhere and handed them to the children.

After doing all this, the attitude of the guide who led the envoy group suddenly improved, and he said to the crowd on the way, "Although I don't know what the purpose of your coming here is. However, the mayor has a more impulsive personality and needs to go directly to the topic, so you don't go around the bush and talk about something. If we can come up with what we lack in Tianzhou City, I believe that the negotiation will be easy to proceed. ”

"Understood, understood!" Zhao Gao took out another jade ring and handed it to the guide: "A small gift, I hope Your Excellency will accept it with a smile." ”

The guide looked at the jade, put it in his pocket at will, and led the envoy group to the city center.

While the guide was not paying attention, the young man asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

"The so-called persuasion is nothing more than inducement and demonstration. Now it seems that this line of work is much simpler than I expected. Zhao Gao was slightly tentative, and he already understood what Tianzhou City needed.

Grain!

Tianzhou City lacks food, but the Xia Kingdom is not lacking this, and it will not be long before the Xia Kingdom has its own harvest god, and agriculture will go further.

"Perhaps, you can also take the opportunity to exchange some slaves with Tianzhou City?"
