Chapter 12: The Empire
Guan Peng, who was about to get angry, saw Zhong Hui's appearance and immediately understood that he was so hungry that he had no strength, and he didn't care about his own affairs, so he quickly helped him to bed. looked like a dying Zhong Hui, and his mouth kept opening and closing, as if he was summoning the bowl of life-saving porridge.
As soon as Guan Peng saw his appearance, thinking that he had become like this in order to help his brother, he was ruthless and decided to help him feed him porridge in person.
She looked at Zhong Hui and said: "Count your luck today, if it weren't for your brother to become like this, I wouldn't have fed you personally, and when you are well, I will come to you again to calculate your account for me."
Guan Peng helped Zhong Hui up, and wanted him to lean against the head of the bed, but he didn't expect Zhong Hui's body to be too soft, his head tilted, and he fell. After trying a few times, Guan Peng had no way but to lean Zhong Hui on his shoulder and feed him spoonful by spoonful. Zhong Hui is in a half-conscious state, and the small mouth is also quite cooperative, one is gradually feeding, the other is gradually eating, and the picture is very harmonious.
Guan Peng was originally concentrating on feeding, but when he saw Zhong Hui's mouth one by one, somehow, his face suddenly turned red. She forced herself not to pay attention to Zhong Hui's movements, lest she start to make a fool of herself again, and just started to feed him.
When she finished feeding the porridge and was about to leave, she saw a lot of porridge water flowing from the corners of Zhong Hui's mouth, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corners of his mouth. Just as she bent down to wipe Zhong Hui's mouth, Guan Yi walked in from outside the door, and as soon as Guan Peng heard someone coming in, he immediately slipped out of the room calmly like a thief, for fear that someone would find out about his embarrassment later. Guan Yi looked at his figure running out of the room, and his mind was puzzled for a while, unable to understand what was going on with him.
When the clock would wake up, once in the afternoon, he turned his head and saw Guan Yi reading a book at the tea table.
As soon as Guan heard the movement, he knew that Zhong would wake up. Put down the book in his hand, looked at Zhong Hui and asked, "Brother Zhong woke up, how is his health now?"
Zhong Hui tried to stand up and replied: "It's much better, thank you Brother Guan for your care, my whole body was weak when I woke up, and I should be able to get out of bed now." With that, Zhong Hui wanted to get out of bed and walk.
"Eh, Brother Zhong, don't move, the doctor said that your body needs to be recuperated more, you should lie down. The Emperor ...... Oh, my brother once fed you some porridge, and I think you should be able to eat some greasy meals now, and I just called the dishes, and you will be able to eat immediately. “
Then he took out a yellow cloth bag from his arms, stretched out his hand and handed it to Zhong Hui and said, "This is your thing, it fell out when you changed your clothes, I prepared a cloth bag for you, and now I will return it to you." ”
Zhong Hui glanced at the cloth bag and put it next to the pillow, these are not important things. He wanted to understand Guan Yi's next arrangement, so he asked, "Brother Guan, I don't know where you will go next?"
Guan Yi turned around and sat on the stool, "This is not in a hurry, after Brother Zhong is better, we will leave for Kyoto." ”
"Kyoto, yes, I want to see what the capital of this country is like. Zhong Hui heard Guan Yi's words, and his heart was very happy, he had never seen what a big city was like, and now he finally had the opportunity to meet.
"What's the matter?, isn't there a capital city on Brother Zhong's side?" Guan Yi looked at Zhong Hui's appearance and asked suspiciously.
"Oh, yes, the capital is there, but it may be a little different. Zhong Hui hurriedly replied, and then changed the topic, "But when the time comes, I will have to take Brother Guan's ride, I hope Brother Guan doesn't mind." ”
"How can it be, Guan can't ask for it, just along the way, let Brother Zhong watch more of our Zhongchu customs. Guan Yi didn't ask deeply, maybe he felt that the other half of the Banlun Mountain Range was indeed different from them.
It was Zhong Hui, the first time he heard the name of Zhongchu, he suddenly had a burst of curiosity in his heart. "Zhongchu, hearing Brother Guan say this, I can't wait to start now. ”
Guan Yi was about to speak to Zhong Hui when there was a knock on the door.
"Guest officer, your meal has arrived. ”
Guan Yi came in with the food from outside the door and said to Zhong Hui: "Now that the food has arrived, let's eat first." Seeing that you are in such a hurry, when you take care of your body, we will leave as soon as you are well-raised. ”
The Central Chu Empire, founded more than 200 years ago, has a strong national strength and is flourishing.
The Central Chu Empire was bordered by the Banlun Mountains to the west, and to the southeast was the largest empire on the mainland, the Great Chen Empire. Although the Great Chen Empire has the most extensive territory, it is already in the twilight of old age, the monarch is incompetent, the powerful ministers are in power, riots are everywhere, the lives are devastated, and the eyes are full of devastation, showing the decline of the empire.
The southwest is the country of wind, the national strength is much smaller than that of Zhongchu, and the country of wind is a multi-ethnic country, with many races in the country. As long as the situation in the north is more complicated.
In the northeast of Zhongchu, a group of small countries are fighting around, often one country falls, and the banner of another country is erected again, and the country is replaced, as if it were commonplace. Because of this, the people who could not endure the war in this region moved to other countries to settle down again, and those who remained were those who were fierce or reluctant to give up their ancestral business, so although the army in this region was small, the combat power was the strongest.
It's not that there are no big powers who want to submit here, it's just that the war throughout the year has produced many famous generals in this small area. In addition, the greatest power in this region is not the monarch, but some secret powers, and the situation is so complicated, no major country has ever thought about this region.
In the northwest of the Central Chu Empire, there was often friction with the Central Chu State of Dali, and the two countries were feuding, and in the early years, due to the continuous discord over the ownership of some regions, they often violated each other's borders.
The comprehensive strength of the state of Li is not as strong as that of Chu, but the north of the state of Li is the state of Rong, which is rich in strong horses and horses, and often has trade contacts with the state of Li, so the state of Li cultivated a strong cavalry - the forbidden cavalry army, relying on this cavalry force, the talent of the state of Li and the balance of power in Chu.
Hengjiang is a big river formed by the collection of countless mainstream of the Banlun Mountains, the source starts from the Banlun Mountains, obliquely passes through Zhongchu, flows through the northeastern countries, and flows into the sea. Because of the inflow of the Yokogawa River, the Tohoku countries are also called Yokogami countries.
The north of Dahuang Village, Dongchen Township, Chenhe County, Beifu County.
There was a family working in the fields, two men and one woman, an old man and a young man, who were planting grain in the fields at the beginning of spring. Under a big tree next to the land, a woman wearing a square scarf was pouring herbal tea, waiting for her husband and father-in-law to come over and drink tea to quench their thirst.
The young man who is busy in the field is called Ren Feng, his father is called Ren Nianer, and his family has a little land, and his life is not bad.
