Chapter 6: Determining the route to Beijing

Ziyang asked the waiter to come up with a table of good wine and food, and chatted with Yang Xing, Dapeng and Huofeng while drinking, discussing how to enter Beijing.

Yang Xing said: "We have two roads into Beijing, one is a dry road and the other is a waterway, if we take the dry road, we will take about 13,000 kilometers of the ancient official road in a straight line to the southwest, it will take half a year to take a horse-drawn carriage, and it will take four months to ride a horse; if we take the waterway, we need to go southwest on a dry road of about 3,000 kilometers, pass through the Hesse Mountains, where there are many bandits, and reach the ancient county town of Yunmeng, and then take a boat to meander down the Yulong River, about 15,000 kilometers, with a total journey of about 18,000 kilometers, and it will take nearly five months to arrive. ”

Ziyang asked, "Brother Yang thinks that path is more suitable?"

Yang Xing replied: "If the map is cheap and safe, we will take the dry road and take a carriage, and each person can pay one hundred taels of silver, if you choose a comfortable one, you can choose the waterway, and charter a boat into Beijing, then the cost is estimated to be one thousand taels of silver per person." If I had to choose, I would choose to go by carriage, what would my brother think. ”

Ziyang glanced at Yang Xing, understood Yang Xing's economic embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Brother, why is it so hard, let's go by boat, we can also exchange martial arts on the boat, why not, as for the brother's expenses, temporarily borrow it from the brother, and wait for the brother to win the fame and then pay it back." ”

The reason why Ziyang took it instead of giving it was because he was afraid that Yang Xing would not be able to save face on his face, after all, heroes were not willing to accept charity easily.

When Ziyang said this, Yang Xing understood that he would benefit a lot from being able to continue to learn from Ziyang, and when he won the fame, it was natural to have some silver taels, so he happily agreed. Yang Xing's decision is destined to make him famous in history on this continent, and his merits are great, and it also determines his life and death friendship with Ziyang.

Since Ziyang obtained the martial arts with the dark fragrance wolf, Ziyun Pavilion got the news for the first time, and the top-secret information directly reached Ziyun County, the southernmost part of the Great Jin Kingdom, Ziyun County has been in a semi-independent state since the founding of the Great Jin Kingdom, and nominally belongs to the Great Jin Kingdom, but in fact, the financial taxation, civil and military affairs, and the appointment and dismissal of officials in the 15 cities of the county have all been decided by Ziyun Pavilion, which is actually a country within a country.

A young woman wearing a purple feather fox cloak asked, "Haven't you found out where he came from?"

A young man wearing Xuantian silk soft armor replied, "We only know now that he suddenly appeared from Yanchi County, and he has never missed a trace before. According to the investigation, he also has a brother named Dapeng and a younger sister named Huofeng, and wants to go to Beijing to take the exam in the near future. I want Zhuge to get involved in them, investigate secretly, and report to my mother as soon as there are clues. ”

The young woman in the purple feather fox fur cloak sighed, burst into tears, and sighed secretly: "Ziyang, we have been waiting for you for 100,000 years, where are you, do you really leave us alone and don't ask?" said to the Xuantian silk soft-armored young man: "Be careful, maybe it is a bait sent by the Five Great God Emperors, all these years, the Five Great God Emperors have never given up looking for our whereabouts." After saying that, the light flashed, and the young woman in the purple feather fox fur cloak disappeared.

Xuantian Silk Soft-Armored Youth: "Secretly said to myself, don't worry, mother, I will definitely find out and give you an accurate message." ”

The Xuantian silk soft-armored young man walked out of a special spatial teleportation array, came to a palace in Ziyun County, and shouted to a maid, calling Zhuge to come over.

Zhuge Mou is the descendant of Zhuge Tian, he has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he has the ability to never forget, he is seventeen years old this year, and he won the new science and literature champion of the Great Jin Kingdom last year, and then refused to come to Ziyun Pavilion to do an ordinary clerical chores, Zhuge Mou's father, brother, grandfather, Grandpa's grandfather and others are all working in Ziyun Pavilion, it can be said that he has deep feelings for Ziyun Pavilion, even if he is a clerk, but he has no complaints, he knows that the head of the family is exercising him, Zhuge Mou also has a skill, that is, he can observe words and looks, see what people say, it can be said that he can speak well, but he is by no means the kind of whisker and flatterer, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, bypassing all kinds of miscellaneous studies, astronomy, geography, and knowledge, which can be a genius and all-rounder. Zhuge Mou's grandfather Zhuge Tian, at the beginning of Ziyun Pavilion, was the great butler of Ziyun Pavilion, it can be said that the establishment of Ziyun Pavilion, the general credit goes to Zhuge Tian, Zhuge Tian has served in Ziyun Pavilion for nearly 100,000 years, from an ordinary writer to the peak of the Yuan Infant Realm of the Purple Cloud Pavilion Great Butler, in Ziyun Pavilion, no one knows the great housekeeper Zhuge Tian, but few people know about the Xuantian silk soft armor boy, let alone the young woman with the purple feather fox fur cloak.

Zhuge Tian saw the Xuantian silk soft-armored young man, bowed down and said, "Meet the young master, what does the young master command?"

“......... This way........ that, etc., be careful. The Xuantian silk soft-armored young man arranged a call to Zhuge Tian and handed him a purple jade waist card, on which were written the three words "Purple Cloud Pavilion", these three words were condensed by special mana, in order to prevent counterfeiting, and then left.

Zhuge Tian returned to his residence, secretly made a plan, and came to Yanchi County through the secret teleportation circle of Ziyun Pavilion (the teleportation circle is absolutely secret to the outside world, and only those who do special tasks can use it with purple jade waist cards), waiting for information from all parties.

Ziyang and Yang Xing discussed the itinerary plan, so they went to the horse market to buy four snow-walking BMWs that traveled 500 miles a day, and each bought some clothes needed for the trip, and left the next day.

On the road, the horses ran happily, and the four of them talked and laughed, which was very pleasant.

Of course, all this naturally can't escape the eyes and ears of Ziyun Pavilion, after all, Ziyun Pavilion has stores in various cities across the country, and it is not difficult to find out the whereabouts of Ziyang and the others.

When Zhuge Mou learned the news, he deduced that Ziyang and the others were going to change passenger ships in Yunmeng County and go down the river to Beijing, of course, Zhuge Mou could deduce from Ziyang and the others' daily food and accommodation that Ziyang would charter a high-end passenger ship to go to Beijing, so he came to Yunmeng County City through the teleportation circle, and instructed the people of Ziyun Pavilion to find a gilded treasure ship and wait for the arrival of Ziyang and others.

In the depths of the Hessian Mountains, there is a powerful gang, called the Life and Death Gang, gathering more than 100,000 people, is the largest gang force in the Hessian Mountains, it can be said that it is a big force that does all kinds of evil, often robbing and killing merchants, slaughtering villages, and even attacking cities and plundering land (generally small cities), Life and Death Gang rely on the natural danger that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to resist the government, so that the government has no result in several encirclement and suppression, and in the end there is only to watch the Life and Death Gang grow stronger and stronger, and there is no way.

Today, the gang leader Shengsheng Tian and a group of brothers have just ransacked a county seat in Yunmeng County, and obtained nearly 10 million taels of gold, hundreds of thousands of taels of purple gold, countless silver jewelry, as well as groups of women and male coolies who were taken captive, and returned to the thieves' den in a mighty way.

Ziyang and the others went all the way unimpeded, and in order to hurry, they deliberately took a small road, just passing by the foot of the thief's nest mountain, and collided with the leader of the Life and Death Gang who returned from the plunder.

The Life and Death Gang has stood on this mountain for nearly twenty years, and there is another important reason, that is, the Life and Death Gang leader Sheng Sheng Tian is not only strong in spells, in the middle of Jindan, but also very perceptive and observant, what kind of people can provoke what kind of people can not be provoked, he can know at a glance, although he often attacks the city and plunders the land, it is also a small county town, for a big force like Ziyun Pavilion, he never dares to provoke, but often pleases, and has a great cooperation in business, but today, maybe too happy, happy and sad, blind dog-eyed, did not recognize the strength of Ziyang and others。
