Chapter 97: A Border Town

At noon, it was estimated that Zhao Wuyin and his entourage should be almost at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, looking at the map of Wanzhou that they had accidentally obtained, and smiled bitterly.

If it weren't for being an enemy, he would have liked Zhao Wuyin a lot.

He is enthusiastic and has no shelves, because on this map, not only the division of the four regions of Wanzhou and the famous mountains and lakes are marked, but also the territory of hundreds of forces, and the Wangjiang Zhao family is one of them, and the scale is not small.

Wangjiang is a mountain name, located in the middle of Wanzhou, located in the middle of the Qingchuan River basin, under the governance of the Zhou State.

The plates of Wanzhou are irregular polygons, a bit like a combination of Eurasia, with many scattered islands at the edges, thirteen large freshwater lakes and eight giant mountain ranges, and the Tien Shan Mountains are not among them.

Even, including a large area around the Tianshan Mountains, is not marked on the map, but is circled and written as "Northern Barbarian".

In addition to the map, Qianqing also found three letters in the ring, one was written by Zhao Youjin, and the content was to tell Zhao Wuyin to be careful on the road.

The second letter was written by the Ministry of Rites of the Zhou Kingdom, telling Zhao Wuyin to always remember the king's will and be sure to arrest the sinners who pretended to be the blood of the Heavenly King.

The third is an anonymous love letter, the sentences written are not explicit, but they are also very sultry, no wonder Zhao Wuyin will keep it.

And Zhao Wuyin also thought about the envelope shortly after giving the ring, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only silently hope that Qianqing would not look at it.

However, he thought about the relationship with Qianqing wrongly, or rather, he was too simple, he didn't expect Qianqing to lie to him, after all, Qianqing looked about the same age as them, so he couldn't find a reason to deceive.

Unless it was the blood of the Heavenly King, there was no reaction from the magic weapon they brought out, so Zhao Wuyin did not become suspicious of Qianqing.

"This place, I know. Xiaoqing probed and pointed to a road on the map.

Qianqing looked at the place she was pointing and said, "Nanqian Kingdom?"

"Hmm. Xiao Qing explained: "Among some of the letters kept by Grandpa Tai, there is the payment of Nanqian Kingdom. ”

The Southern Guizhou Kingdom is in the southern region of Wanzhou, and the area can rank among the top three in the ten kingdoms of Wanzhou, and the southernmost Heavenly Kingdom is separated from the Northern Guizhou Kingdom.

"What kind of content is it?" Qianqing wanted to determine whether it was friend or foe.

But Xiaoqing shook her head and said helplessly: "I didn't understand the words on it, but I saw a word for Nanqianguo." ”

"Is that so......" Qianqing was entangled, he originally thought that since the male gun had a connection with the Tianshan clan, he might be able to find an acquaintance with the identity of the Tianshan clan, but now he doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend, and he is likely to fall into the tiger's mouth if he goes.

After thinking for a moment, Qianqing still made a decision, "Then go to Nanqian Kingdom, do you want to be together?"

Xiaoqing just wants to follow Qianqing out, but it doesn't mean that she will always follow Qianqing's side, so Qianqing doesn't dare to make her own decisions.

Xiaoqing's heart is very happy about the respect that Qianqing gives her, but she is not ready to go alone, judging from the current situation, it is also a good choice to follow Qianqing.

"I'll go with you, but I'll have to trouble you to take care of me. ”

"Good. Qianqing nodded.

Now that the direction has been determined, the next journey is not without goals, and Qianqing has become more energetic, but when they reach Nanqian Kingdom, it may be a few months later.

In three days, the two of them finally walked out of the barren forest and came to a new landform - the desert.

No wonder the Beiban on the map is blank, such an environment is impossible to live in, even the most basic living conditions can not be guaranteed, living here, is completely fighting with nature.

The conditions in the desert were even more difficult than Qianqing imagined, and I thought that I could catch reptiles, such as snakes, to replenish my strength, but I didn't expect that there would be nothing but tumbleweeds and dry land.

After another five days, when she walked out of the desert, Qianqing's face was full of traces left by wind and frost, Xiaoqing was fine, because she covered her face with clothes the whole time, and she was not affected much.

"You seem to be ten years older. Xiaoqing smirked.

Qianqing was speechless and ignored her.

However, the wind and sand and dry air are indeed the killers of the skin, not to mention looking ten years old, and Qianqing himself feels that the activity of his skin has declined a lot.

"It's almost time to get to Yaguan ahead, so let's get down and go. ”

Yaguan is the closest border town to Beiban, with a small area and a town far away from the world.

Walking side by side with Xiaoqing on the road, no one spoke, during which Xiaoqing took off her clothes once, took off all the clean clothes on her body, and turned back into a thin long skirt.

"Wish there was a place to shower. Xiaoqing smelled herself, it was fragrant, but mentally she couldn't stand the fact that she hadn't taken a bath for eight days.

"Hopefully. "It doesn't matter if you are clean, because strong people will not be dirty, which is related to physical fitness.

In sight, the city wall appeared, only three or four meters of low wall, because of the erosion of the wind and sand, the bricks on the wall looked very dilapidated.

"Is that Yaguan?" Xiaoqing's eyes were worried, I am afraid that there is no place to stay in such a dilapidated place.

"Let's go check it out first. ”

It's really not good, they have other options, to hurry more.

Walking to the city gate, the place where it should have been the gate was empty, and it seemed that it had disappeared for a long time, and there were no pedestrians on the streets of the city, and it was full of gloomy atmosphere.

"Rattle!"

The wind blew, and the wooden windows made a lonely sound.

"Is there something wrong?"

Suddenly, a human voice sounded behind him.

Qianqing turned around, it was a hunchbacked old man, he couldn't tell if it was an old grandfather or an old grandmother, his/her complexion was sallow, his face was full of wrinkles, and his facial features had almost disappeared from his/her face.

"This ......," Xiaoqing said tangledly.

Qianqing answered: "Old man, is there a place in the town that can take us in for one night?"

The old man raised his head, his squinted eyes tried very hard to see the appearance of Qianqing and Xiaoqing, but he couldn't, so he had to get closer and said, "It's been a long time since outsiders have come here." ”

"We had just come out of the desert and wanted to find a place to rest so that we could go to the next place. Qianqing explained his intentions.

"I hear you. The old man nodded, raised his feet, and said quietly, "Come with me." ”

Qianqing and Xiaoqing glanced at each other, both helpless, Xiaoqing blinked, and seemed to say: "Let's see." ”

Qianqing agreed with her idea, so she followed the old man, took a look first, and then went to the next place.

Qianqing is not physically tired and needs to rest, but mentally, the past few days in the desert have made his state very poor, and he urgently needs a stable sleep to adjust his state.
