Zheng Gu heard Master Cangzheng talk about the small things of the Beidao clan yesterday, and also knew that he had made a lot of money along the way, so he deliberately asked in public: "Your Excellency, I heard that more than half of your envoy team is caravan vehicles, and the gain from this mission to the country is not small...... Those who don't know, do you think that I have asked for a lot of goods from your country, and that the queen of your country made you do this?"

How can such a thing be said in public at a state banquet? This is to embarrass the Hokuto clan and even the Bamuo country. All the attachés of the mission bowed their heads in silence, their faces showing shame, while the ministers of the Zheng family let out a burst of laughter.

The general was eating meat, but he wiped the oil from his mouth with his cuff and replied in a loud voice: "I have to thank the king for sending me, it is really a good errand to envoy to your country! Zheng Muguo has made so much money, why do you have to let me, the messenger who delivered things, have some meat to eat? Don't look back and make people laugh, I came to deal with Zheng Muguo, and I only suffered losses but no benefits, so who would want to come again?"

Looking at the performance of this general, he is an upright and reckless martial artist, but he made Zheng Gu laugh again. The monarch smiled and said, "The king of your country did not feel that he was at a loss, but generously sent a lot of gifts. You, the great general, are afraid of suffering a loss, do you think that the country of Bamuro has lost money, so you want to earn it back?"

The Beidao clan replied while eating meat: "Yes, the eldest husband has clear grievances, and the account should be settled." I really feel that the monarch has lost a lot, so I want to help him earn more money back, and I thank the lord for his success!"

Zheng Muguo's ministers let out another burst of laughter. Some people are talking that the mission sent by the Bamuro State this time may be the largest team in the history of Ba Yuan, and if it spreads, it will almost become a laughing stock. The monarch Zheng Gu asked again: "Listening to the words of the envoy, the king of your country was seriously ill a few days ago, but he has recovered as ever after being treated by a divine doctor, and is now inspecting the cities in the country.

But I heard the rumors before, in fact, it can't be regarded as rumors, the monks of all sects know that the noble monarch and the queen have sent envoys to ask for elixirs from various sects, and what they want are things that can replenish vitality, and it seems that the longevity is about to end. I don't know what the exact situation of Hou Di is now, but I am also very concerned, it is rare for him to be such a generous monarch in Ba Yuan!"

The Beidao clan put down the meat in his hand, got up and replied: "Thank you for the concern of the lord of the country, the lord said that he recovered, then he really recovered." Some time ago, the subjects were very worried about his health, and the lords of the court sent envoys to ask for elixir for the king. I also want to make meritorious contributions, and I also went to the mountains to collect medicine with the young seedlings of the monarch and the girl.

This time the sovereign sent a gift to the lord of the country, there is a five-flowered ginseng king that can replenish vitality, that is, I and the young seedlings of the monarch and the young seedlings in the depths of Pengshan Mountain. Now that the sovereign's body is well, there is no need for it, let me send it to you to make up for it!

This time, the lord of the country also specially asked for a batch of treasures and weapons, saying that they were to be offered to the masters of Wufu Hill for cultivation. To tell you the truth, I also studied art in Wufuqiu when I was younger. He has practiced a one-handed sword technique, and now he has finally become a general. Since this time I am offering something to Wufu Qiu, can I continue to escort it and send it to Wufu Qiu with my own hands?"

He shifted the body of the topic to the ordnance to be enshrined to Wufuqiu, and Master Gongzheng hurriedly said: "My country wants to enshrine Wufuqiu this time, and there is not only this batch of ordnance, but it still needs to be raised. Besides, we also have to inspect and select the most exquisite things sent by the Bamuro country, so we don't have to trouble the envoys anymore. ”

But the Beidao clan insisted: "It's not hard! I've walked so far that I've finally delivered everything." It is not easy for the king of my country to prepare these things, so let me go to Wufuqiu to meet Mr. Jiansha and tell him what the lord wants. Otherwise, Mr. Sword Devil doesn't know what to do?"

Monarch Zheng Gu frowned slightly, then smiled and waved his hand: "When I send an envoy to Wufu Hill, I will convey your good intentions, and the general doesn't have to worry about it." ...... It will take some time before the offerings will be delivered, so the envoy should return to Japan as soon as possible. Those caravans you brought are still waiting for you to go back!"

The impression left by the Northern Dao clan on the monarchs and ministers of the Zheng family. Not only is his words and deeds vulgar, but he is also thick-skinned and not ashamed, and he can't look at his eyes, and his head is not very sober. Everyone knows that the batch of ordnance was asked for by Zheng Muroguo in the name of Wufuqiu. If you send it to the national capital, you have to insist on sending things to Wufu Hill, isn't it enough to make money along the way, and you still want to go to Wufu Hill to sell it for rewards?

Of course, this batch of ordnance was included in Zheng Muro's arsenal. Everyone knows what they know, so why bother to bring it up and find it uncomfortable? It is better to treat it with good wine and meat for a few days, and send this envoy back quickly. Don't be ashamed!

......

Baoyu, who was walking on the road, of course didn't know the deeds of Uncle Dao's "embarrassing" in the Zheng Muguo court. He was entrusted by the queen to send the news to the young master of Wufu Qiu, but there was no need to worry, it was still very early before the agreed time. Now that there is no other person to bother, Baoyu can cultivate well and realize what he has gained along the way.

To get to Wufu Hill, you have to pass through a red brocade city. This is the southernmost territory of Zheng Muro, and it was also a strong pass to guard the frontier. When Baoyu walked in the mountains, he saw a lot of wild red brocade trees, but the trees did not bloom the brilliant red flowers. If it is changed to early spring, the red brocade flowers in the mountains bloom one after another, and the distant view is like the burning clouds, and the red brocade city was also named because of this.

Red brocade tree is an important local crop, its beautiful red flowers are also a kind of vegetable, taking it can regulate the stomach, the root bark can also be used as medicine, treat bruises, strengthen muscles and bones, and replenish vitality. What's more, after flowering, the red brocade tree will produce egg-sized fruits, and the shell will be cracked open, and the fine seeds inside have many soft white flocculent fibers, also known as red brocade cotton core.

The red brocade cotton core can be filled with pillows, bedding, and warm clothes, which has a good cold protection effect, and is a very important material on this plateau close to the wilderness. In addition, the long stamens of the red brocade are also a kind of weaving after drying, and they can be skillfully processed to make a brocade that is as soft and brilliant as a cloud.

However, the collection of red brocade brocade is a labor-intensive and meticulous work, and the soft and comfortable brocade cloth is also a precious thing, and its value is no less than that of silk silk. It is said that the masters on Wufu Hill like to wear brocade clothes made of red brocade stamens, and often refine them with special mana, so that this splendid brocade is invulnerable, and can even defend against ordinary swords and guns.

In most parts of the country, the best winter weather is of course the fur of beasts and felt cloth woven from wool, and the down of waterfowl can also be filled or woven to protect against the cold, but it is difficult to collect it on a large scale. In the area of Hongjin City, the cloth is filled with red brocade cotton core as wadding, which is the most common warm clothing, also known as cotton clothing.

It is said that the wife of Emperor Xuanyuan took the silk spit out by the spring silkworm and woven it into beautiful silk, and taught the clansmen to breed mulberry silkworms and take silk to weave into various silk and satin fabrics. Yan Zhao, the founder of Pakistan, led his people into Bayuan and brought the technology of cultivating silkworms and silk craftsmanship here. Silk became the most valuable textile, far more valuable than ordinary linen and arrowroot, and was often worn only by the aristocracy.

But in the area of the Red Brocade City, there is another kind of brocade, which is not made of silk, but it is just as soft and comfortable, and more precious and rare, and the most skillful craftsmen can even weave translucent tulle from the red brocade stamens. Cotton clothes and ruijin are all specialties in this area, and they are also sold in the bazaar of Zheng's national capital, and the Beidao clan also bought a lot this time.

The stamen brocade is just that, the very light amount of cotton core, can be filled with bedding and clothes to make something to keep out the cold, and the price is not expensive and the quantity is large, but it is a rare good thing.

The terrain to the Red Brocade City gets higher and higher, and Baoyu has to cross the mountains. Hongjin Castle is an open flat river area on the plateau. Most of the villages under its jurisdiction are mountain villages, scattered among the valleys suitable for farming. Although the terrain is high, there are many large plains, so it is also possible to build castle towers.

After Baoyu entered the territory of Hongjin City, he felt quite similar to the Xiangmuro Country High City that he had just passed through when he left the wilderness, which was also a mountainous terrain adjacent to the plateau, scattered with populated villages, connected by roads to each other, and beyond the populated villages were large areas of mountains.

It is no wonder that Baoyu has this feeling, he has already passed through the Three Kingdoms from the northwest edge of Ba Yuan, and has come to the southwest edge of Ba Yuan, if he goes further, he will enter the wilderness again. Baoyu also thought to herself, I'm afraid I haven't reached such a far place, right?

Wufu Hill, in fact, is among the peaks of the mountains on the edge of the wilderness, and the Zongmen region is not a mountain, including several peaks adjacent to each other. Its origin is also very peculiar, and the mountain god once gave Baoyu a detailed introduction.

......

Long before the emergence of Pakistan, the Ba Yuan was also a wilderness, scattered with some primitive tribal villages. The process of founding the country of Ba by the founding king Yan Zhao was also a process of conquering and merging these tribes and constantly establishing tribal alliances. After decades of time, a unified country of Ba was finally established, the city was built to establish ritual laws, and the tribes on the Ba Yuan were led out of the era of ignorance and barbarism.

After the establishment of Pakistan, there were endless rebellions and conflicts in the southern wilderness, and other places in Pakistan were stable, but there were always accidents here.

This area is located on the border plateau, scattered with many valleys and plains suitable for reclamation, and many tribes have been subordinated to the country of Ba. But it is too close to the impassable and precipitous mountains, and since ancient times, there have been many demon clans and people living together.

Not only are there demon clans in the mountains, but also in the plains, and they have different special talents and their own flaws, and it is difficult to fully integrate them due to the differences in races. There are often conflicts between these demon clans, between them and human villages.

There are often demon clans attacking and looting villages, and even slaughtering villagers and robbing women and children. Some demon clans ran out of the mountains in groups, killed people, set fire and ransacked them and ran back to the mountains, not to mention chasing, they couldn't even find it. In fact, this kind of thing has been happening for thousands of years, but in ancient times, there was no Pakistan, and no one else took care of it, and the news would not spread too far.

After the establishment of the Pakistan Kingdom, it brought advanced farming and production technology, which also made the people in this area more affluent, and more goods attracted the looting of the demon clan. There are not only melee conflicts between tribes here, but also many big demons who have cultivated to be strong and arrogant in the wilderness, each of which is causing trouble. At that time, Pakistan's border army, which was still weak, could not be suppressed at all.

After most of the places in Bayuan were settled, the monarch mobilized an elite army array, led by the general Wufu clan, to the southern wilderness to clear out the demons who were causing trouble. Armed with a divine sword, the general of Zhenguo slew many powerful demons and expelled many vicious demon clans to the depths of the wilderness, and later led the crowd to build a red brocade pass on the edge of the southern wilderness.

Hongjin Pass is located in the barbaric access to the Bayuan key place, there was a long-term garrison of the border army in those years, and later developed around it into the Red Brocade City. The Red Brocade Pass of that year is still there today, which is the south gate of the Red Brocade City.

The first general of the country of Ba entered Bayuan with Yan Zhao in his early years, and once served as the captain of Yan Zhao's personal guard, he taught his subordinate soldiers to practice the strength of the mountain, and there were 300 personal guards who practiced the strength of the mountain, and were called three hundred martial arts by the world. These 300 warriors made outstanding contributions in the process of conquering Ba Yuan and establishing the country of Ba Yuan.

The title of that general was "Takefu", and the world called it "Takefu". After leaving office, he lived on the high mountain outside the Hongjin Pass, holding a divine sword to deter demons, and that high mountain was called "Wufu Hill".

Wufu and his descendants live in Wufu Hill, guarding the Southern Wilderness so that the demon clan in the deep mountains does not dare to move, and protects the Red Jinguan and Bayuan behind them from being attacked. Takefu had four sons, each guarding a peak, and the middle peak was the place where Takefu himself practiced, so Takefu Hill is sometimes understood as "Wufu Hill".

Wufu swordsmanship is unparalleled, and it is said that he finally practiced swordsmanship and walked through the path to heaven and passed away, leaving behind a number of heirloom artifacts, magic weapons, and treasures. Wufu refining weapons do not create anything else, they are all swords, and they are also known as martial arts swords. When Takeo was alive, the professor was close to him to learn swords, and some people came to climb the mountain to seek art. The disciples passed on the disciples and gradually developed into a sect.

Wufu Hill is now also one of the major sects of cultivation and inheritance in Bayuan, it may not be a holy place of cultivation in the minds of all monks like Chiwangqiu, but it is a holy place in the hearts of many people who practice martial arts in the army, because of this unique historical origin.

Speaking of which, Lu Wuding, the ancestor of the Lucun people, was once a subordinate of General Wufu, and he also followed this general to cultivate the strength of the mountain and practiced Wuding Gong. He later returned to his hometown in the depths of the Northern Wilderness and passed on the spirit of opening the mountain to the descendants of Lu Village. When Ruoshan left the wilderness and wandered into Bayuan, the farthest place he reached was Wufu Hill. There is no sense of source-seeking.

But at that time, the countries of Ba Yuan were in turmoil, and Wu Fuqiu simply closed the mountain, only monitoring whether the barbarian demons took the opportunity to make trouble, and no longer paid attention to the things in Ba Yuan. Ruoshan looked at Wufu Hill and sighed, turned around and walked home, and that adventure was the end of Wufu Hill.

The Qingshan Patriarch once went to the Pengshan Forbidden Land, and finally arrived at Wufuqiu and turned back with a sigh. And Baoyu left the wilderness this time, and the times on Bayuan were different, but he also passed through the forbidden land of Pengshan, and now he also came to Wufu Hill. It's not deliberate, though. But when Baoyu was walking on Ba Yuan, it was also possible that he was inadvertently following in the footsteps of the Qingshan patriarch.

But Wufuqiu is not the end of Baoyu's path, he must go further.

......

Baoyu walked through the mountains and fields for a while, cultivating as he went, and he completed one more thing, fusing his stone egg magic weapon to the ninth. Baoyu felt that he could try to fuse and refine more, but there was no certainty that he would be absolutely successful, so he gave up for the time being. Now his stone eggs are sacrificed, and they can be reduced to nine. It's more than several times more powerful.

Later, Baoyu went to Wufuqiu to deliver the message, which actually coincided with Baoyu's own thoughts. Before leaving the wilderness, the mountain god had told him that there were some places in Bayuan that were best to avoid, such as Meng Yingqiu, and some places should be taken a good look. For example, Takefuqiu.

Mr. Jiansha, the contemporary suzerain of Wufuqiu, is the current master of Weizhen Bayuan, and he is also a friend of Qingsha back then. Jian Sha once traveled to the depths of the Northern Wilderness to find the ruins of the legendary Taihao, but of course the ruins were not found. But he saw Qingsha, and the two had a good conversation on the hill of the tree.

But the mountain god didn't tell Baoyu about this. He didn't even tell Baoyu that he was clear. Now that Baoyu has listened to Hou Li's story, he has suspected in his heart that the identity of the mountain god is the legendary Qingsha, but he still doesn't know that Qingsha is Zhu Ming, let alone where Shudeqiu is.

Why didn't Zhu Ming tell Baoyu about the past, and only let Baoyu go to Wufu Hill to have a look? In fact, this mountain god also had his own concerns. Although Wufu Hill is strong, it has only guarded one region of the Southern Wilderness for generations, and it cannot compete with Chiwang Hill, which has power all over Bayuan. Not to mention Wufuqiu, any of the five countries in Bayuan would not dare to openly offend Chiwangqiu.

If Baoyu finds Jiansha and tells the past, if the news leaks out, it may also bring disaster to him and Wufuqiu.

And more importantly, when Bai Sha suddenly broke into Shudeqiu, he actually knew Zhu Ming's retreat and the origin of his identity. Zhu Ming had no dealings with the Bai'e clan before, and there were very few people in Ba Yuan who knew about his secrets. Besides, a hundred years have passed, and the old acquaintances of those years are long gone, and there is probably only one sword warrior who is still alive and knows all this.

Even if Zhu Ming didn't want to suspect Jian Sha, he had to admit that Jian Sha had the biggest suspicion, so he simply didn't tell Baoyu anything between him and Jian Sha.

But Baoyu knew what happened to the Qingshan patriarch back then, and he also knew that the general of the Northern Dao clan had studied art in Wufu Hill, and he was also full of curiosity about the legendary Wufu Hill, and there was a bit of reverence in his curiosity. This trip to the Southern Wilderness may become another opportunity for him to break through in his cultivation, and if it is convenient, he also wants to cultivate in Wufu Qiu for a while.
