Hua Lian handed over a palm-sized wooden plaque, and as soon as Qian Feiyue took it, she was surprised to find that this wooden plaque was actually made of fine agarwood. The warm and soft smell reveals the long age of this wooden plaque, and the word "apricot" is engraved in the center of the wooden plaque.

Qian Mo took it and sniffed it, he felt that there was something else seeping into the wooden card, but he couldn't smell what it was.

"Brother Qianmo, what can you smell it?"

Qian Mo handed the wooden card back and shook his head.

"Brother Qianmo, don't be discouraged, my uncle can't smell it. I heard that this is a special fragrance made by the first host of the Xinglin Conference, which no one can imitate, and can be used to distinguish the authenticity of the wooden sign. Hua Lian carefully put away the wooden card and explained, "This wooden card belongs to Uncle Kai, and only sixteen pieces were distributed in the entire Apricot Forest Conference. ”

"Didn't you say there would be a lot of people attending?"

"That's right, the Xinglin Conference is divided into the periphery and the infield, and there is no restriction on the periphery, and the infield needs this wooden card. Sister Yue, you'll know when the time comes! ”

Qian Mo looked at his precious appearance of the wooden card, squinted his eyes and said, "Stole it?" ”

"Tsk!" Hua Lian said with some disapproval, "Can a person who loves medicine be called stealing?" ”

"Where is the Apricot Grove Conference?" Qian Scarlet Moon and Qian Mo secretly exchanged glances and determined their direction.

After hearing this, Hua Lian stood on the frame and looked into the distance: "Dongzhou! ”

Except for the capital, the other territories of the Great Yan Kingdom were divided into forty states. The forty states were divided into twelve by the mountains of the Great Yan Kingdom, each of which governed several states, but there were a few exceptions. There is only one state under its jurisdiction, which is the southernmost Nanhai Province in Yanjing, and there is only one Nanhai state. There is also a state that is not under the jurisdiction of any province, and it is the Eastern State.

Dongzhou is in the east of the Great Yan Kingdom, surrounded by mountains on three sides and by the sea on one side. The sand ring is full of water, and the Tibetan wind gathers qi, which is the feng shui treasure of the Great Yan Kingdom, and it is also a maverick existence of the Great Yan Kingdom, because it does not belong to any Taoist management.

For example, the boundary they are now in is called Yizhou in Shannan Province, and they also need to pass through Xinzhou in Shannan Province and Jiangzhou and Nanzhou in Lingnan Province. However, there is no "Dao" title in front of Dongzhou, and in the Great Yan Kingdom, Dongzhou is Dongzhou.

"Brother Yi, then why is Dongzhou so special?" At this time, on a carriage passing through Xinzhou, Shannan Province, a playful and cute little girl was holding her cheeks and pouting her pink mouth, and asked a handsome young man sitting next to her.

The young man looked down at the little girl in front of him who was staring at him with starry eyes, and smiled warmly: "Xue'er, Ben...... I don't know. However, there are books in the government that mention that Dongzhou was already like this hundreds of years ago.

"When the first emperor established Dayan, the three major families of Dongzhou begged to see the first emperor, and the specific process was not recorded in the book, but in the end it was the first emperor who made an order, although Dongzhou was under the name of Dayan, but usually followed its inherent ruling model."

The little girl didn't seem to understand after hearing this: "That...... Dongzhou is Dayan's, right? ”

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but smile with relief: "Xue'er is very smart!" ”

Being praised by the young man, the little girl lowered her head a little shyly, and whispered something in a small voice like a mosquito, and the young man couldn't help frowning after hearing it.

"Cher, don't talk nonsense!" Although it was blame, there was not much in the words.

When the little girl heard this, her nose was sore, and her eyes were already filled with droplets. However, she still nodded sensibly: "Xue'er knows, and she will think about it in her heart in the future, and she won't say it anymore." ”

"Cher is good!" The young man stroked the top of her head, looking at her sensible appearance of being a little aggrieved but not complaining, but he still relented. Raising his hand to wipe away the tears from her face, he coaxed her to start talking about the strange things in Dongzhou, and soon made the girl smile again.

"The assassin history of Dongzhou is not sent by the imperial court?" Qian Scarlet Moon listened to Hua Lian's introduction, and was a little curious.

"No, no, Sister Yue, the history of thorns or something, it doesn't exist in Dongzhou." Hua Lian shook her index finger with a look of smuggling that I knew everything, which made Qian Feiyue sigh again and bow her head.

Along the way, Hua Lian introduced a lot of the situation of the Great Yan Kingdom to them. He has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge, which makes Qian Feiyue and Qianmo benefit a lot, and they are also glad to meet such a person when they are confused.

If he could not show his "heroism" from time to time, or if he had to whet their appetite and get them to cooperate with the "I'm curious, I want to know" performance, he would be more than happy to take him with him. But there are always two sides to everything, and it is because of his gags along the way that this dull journey has become much more vivid.

Except for resting and eating, the carriage galloped for seventeen days without much stop, and today they finally set foot on the boundary of Dongzhou. Because Dongzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides except for the sea in the east, after entering the boundary of Dongzhou, it is a little difficult for the carriage to walk, and their speed has slowed down.

"Come on, come on, Sister Yue, let's continue." Hua Lian never seemed to be tired, he just helped push the carriage up a very steep slope, and before he could take a breath, he began to continue the previous topic, "There are no officials sent by the imperial court in Dongzhou, do you know what they rely on to govern?" ”

Qian Feiyue took the book and glanced at Hua Lian, who had long eyelashes and blinked, and lowered her head again. Qian Mo waved his whip without moving. Hua Lian was also used to this state of the two, so he didn't get an enthusiastic response, and he also said very energetically: "The family! ”

"It is one of the three major medical families that have existed in the land of Dongzhou for hundreds of years. Tong's family, Zhan's family......"

"The Flower Family?"

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Qian Scarlet Yue's interruption made Hua Lian choke on her own saliva, "Sister Yue said that she laughed, the Hua family doesn't have this ability!" ”

"Then where did your Uncle Kai get the wooden sign?" After getting along for more than ten days, Qian Scarlet Yue can feel that there must be a good family behind this flower pity. He is young, knowledgeable and talkative, and if you ignore his narcissism and talk, he is by no means an ordinary child.

"That's Uncle Kai's ability." Hua Lian changed the topic as she spoke, "The other one is the Xu family." The three major families stand together to govern Dongzhou. ”

"Which of the three families is stronger or weaker?" Qian Mo asked without replying.

"A hundred years ago, it was the Zhan family. But from nearly a hundred years ago, the Zhan family began to decline. For several generations, both medicinal materials and medical skills in the clan began to decline. And the Tong family, after the founding of the Great Yan Kingdom, began to become famous. By the time of the head of the family of this generation, the Tong family had completely replaced the Zhan family and became the boss of Dongzhou. ”
