Chapter Twenty-Three: Traveling Around the World
The ministers of the Chen State were not very right, they did not have the guts, and they knew the important role of Zhuang Xia in this war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In their eyes, Zhuang Xia is a man of heaven and earth, and a man of God has the treatment of a man of God, who can break the stereotype.
The merit is enough, the ability is unparalleled, and Ye Ming made a promise earlier, but at this moment he just promised.
However, the people of Chen Guo had great objections, after all, they didn't know Zhuang Xia's merits, and they wouldn't believe it if they knew.
The most important point is that Zhuang Xia is too young to convince the public, so he is surprised that he can have such a reward.
What's more, Zhuang Xia turned out to be just a commoner, and he could rise step by step, but it was too hurried to ascend to the sky in one step.
It's just that who cares about the opinions of the people? Ye Ming doesn't care, he is now prestigious, and the people will not criticize him because of this.
As for Zhuang Xia, he didn't care anymore, other people's opinions didn't care about him. He was worthy of his heart.
"My lord, you are now an earl, and you also have the position of the national teacher, the fief of the county of a thousand households, this is a real noble, and there are not many in the entire Chen country.
If you are older, you don't know how many nobles want to marry their daughters to you. ”
Ziyi looked at Zhuang Xia with a nymphomaniac, not that he was handsome and chic, but that his status was lofty and extraordinary.
"Really, why don't you warm my bed when I grow up?" he looked at Ziyi with a grin.
"Alas, when the time comes, I will be old and yellow, and adults will definitely not look down on me. Ziyi also lamented a little, she really couldn't afford to wait for more than ten years.
"Then I will marry you off and delay your youth. ”
Zhuang Xia looked serious, he really didn't want to delay her youth, it was too selfish.
"I was born an adult, and I died as an adult's ghost, as a maid, I want to serve an adult, how can I marry it. It's not in line with etiquette, I'm just a maid. ”
In fact, it's good to stay by Zhuang Xia's side, at least every day is comfortable, there is nothing to do, although it looks like a maid, it is actually similar to half a hostess.
It's actually a good day.
"We'll go to the fiefdom in a few days, and Xiao Ming in the province will look for me if he has something, delaying time. It took more than half a month to go out this time alone, and I can't afford to waste it. ”
Zhuang Xia just wanted to find a place to practice well, and by the way, he sought a way to go back.
The ability to go back to the World Tree is there, but the problem is that it doesn't know how to locate it, where is the Giant Sky World.
"Pack up and buy something by the way, otherwise you won't have a chance then, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
"Oh. ”
If you crave tranquility, don't be in the bustle.
The capital is too prosperous, there are too many people, and more importantly, there is a Yeming here, this kid is probably thinking about how to squeeze his surplus value all day long.
Zhuang Xiadu, who wanted to practice well, couldn't wait to run into the mountains and forests, but he didn't want to live a savage-like life and be too detached from the crowd.
If you have been out of society for too long, you will become less and less human.
After a few days, Zhuang Xia really drove away directly, without even notifying Ye Ming, if it wasn't for the guards of Zhuang Mansion to inform him, he probably didn't know when he would react.
"Sir is really not an ordinary person, he comes and goes like the wind, and he doesn't care about the world. ”
He was also interested, and he didn't bother Zhuang Xia, but just sent a lot of people to send gifts to his fiefdom to contact and contact feelings.
Zhuang Xia's fief is a place called Shengcheng, the city is not big, but the territory is not small, there are hundreds of square kilometers, and the population is several thousand.
From this day on, he is a super-large slave owner and landowner, and all the people are under his rule.
Zhuang Xia lived in the city lord's mansion, and in the same way, except for the necessary attendants, everything else was cleared out and rushed to farm, he was noisy.
On the first day he arrived, he summoned the officials and nobles and announced one thing: he was going to reduce the tax burden.
Most of the people's income from their hard work belongs to them, and a small part supports the officials.
As for the disagreement of these officials and nobles, it is not for them to intervene, because he suppresses all the opposition.
For the rest, it's business as usual.
In addition to this, Zhuang Xia also issued an order for everyone to collect all kinds of species, plants, animals and minerals.
If there are rare treasures, they will be rewarded.
For he will sacrifice these things to enrich the laws of the World Tree and increase their power.
Since you can sacrifice, you don't need to suffer yourself, and eating little by little by mouth is too troublesome and inefficient.
The city lord's mansion, Zhuang Xia has lived for more than a month, living quietly, practicing martial arts, swordsmanship, archery, practicing calligraphy every day, or boring and flirting with his maids.
Ziyi supported her chin with her jade arm boringly, watched Zhuang Xia practice martial arts with her eyes open, she was thirsty and took a sip of water from the teacup, and when she saw Zhuang Xia stop, she hurriedly filled the cup with water and brought it up.
Zhuang Xia shook his head, what kind of maid is this, she drinks it and drinks it for herself, she really regards herself as a hostess.
He didn't take it, but just copied his teapot and drank the water.
"My lord, the people of Shengcheng don't know how much they thank you, saying that you are a good person who is rare in a hundred years, and you will definitely live a long life. ”
Purple clothes patted him on the back.
"Are they thankful? It's a curse! What is a long life, I can live for 200 years now, and letting me live a long life is a curse on me to die early. ”
Zhuang Xia felt bad luck when he heard it, just like a billionaire who heard others wish him a fortune and become a multi-millionaire.
How does a billionaire become a multi-millionaire?
In the same way, how can Zhuang Xia, who can live to be two hundred years old, or even longer, live to be a hundred years old?
Ziyi stuck out her tongue and said the wrong thing.
"By the way, my lord, I have sent another batch of all kinds of items you wanted, and I will put them in the utility room. Ziyi said again.
"Got it. Zhuang Xia said.
These things have been collected one after another for more than a month, and most of them have been collected, and only a few remain, such as this batch.
Zhuang Xia gave them tax exemption, the price is these, in order to thank Zhuang Xia for the great grace of tax exemption, the people don't know how hard to try, so the harvest is quite rich.
When he was free, Zhuang Xia sacrificed these things little by little, instead of sacrificing them all at once.
As for the reason, he almost died of anger when he knew it.
When he received it, he was going to make a one-time sacrifice, but the World Tree didn't respond.
If Zhuang Xia has a dialogue with the World Tree, it should be like this.
"What's going on?"
"If the action is too big, the origin of the world of this world will be discovered. ”
"That wouldn't be a sacrifice in itself and might be discovered, right?"
"It's possible, but it's still under control, the world is too vegetable, don't react too much. ”
"That's good, I'll sacrifice in batches. By the way, what the hell is that wood god I sacrificed, your vest?"
"No, this wood god is you, in fact, you have been sacrificing to yourself, and I am just collecting things. ”
"What?"
"So, you also have to be careful, if the World Origin finds an abnormality, it will only find that you have a problem, and it is none of my business. ”
"You're so bad that you're using me as a shield. ”
Zhuang Xia almost died of anger, and later he was more careful in his actions, and the sacrifice was as little as possible, seeking quality rather than quantity.
Although it was a bit risky, it was also rewarding, and now the World Tree is three feet tall and has thousands of leaves, and it also looks like a tree.
As for the spiritual liquid, it is really not much, just enough for him to practice.
Now Zhuang Xia has a headache, he has been in this world for almost two months, and he has grown half an inch, and there is no way to go back.
Even if the power of the World Tree has increased several times, but there is no way to have the ability, and the strength is still not enough.
As for cultivation, although the environment for cultivation is not good, under the hard work, there is still some progress.
"Isn't it time to go out for a walk, it's not interesting to stay in one place all the time, and collect some species by the way. Okay, that's it. ”
Zhuang Xia nodded, and did it when he thought of it.
"Purple, purple. He shouted two sentences of purple clothes in a daze reading a book.
When she reacted, he said, "Tomorrow we will start traveling around the world, packing up our things and getting ready to leave." ”
"Take me, sir!" her bright eyes were filled with hope.
"Okay, go pack your clothes and valuables, don't be short of things when the time comes. ”
Zhuang Xia, who said that he would leave, did not care about the power here, and left in a carriage with the maid and the coachman.
The first stop, Chen Guoguodu, when the time comes, Yeming will find someone to bother him, and most importantly, he can help collect a lot of species.
The carriage swayed, and Zhuang Xia rested his head on the soft belly of the purple clothes, which felt like a cloud floating in the sky.
Looking at the scenery outside the car, Zhuang Xia had a hunch that maybe he would encounter a lot of trouble along the way, but the most important thing was that he might be able to find hope for returning to the giant world this time.
"Ziyi, what if I leave one day?" Zhuang Xia asked her.
"I follow you wherever you go. She replied without thinking.
"I mean, maybe I'm going to leave this world. He made it clearer.
"Huh!?My lord, do you have any terminal illness? Don't scare me. She was shocked.
"I mean, I'm going to disappear into this world like a god and go to another world. And not dead. ”
"Then take me, I can warm the bed for the adults." She said with a grin.
"You're mortal, I can't take you away. ”
Indeed, Ziyi's physique was too poor to withstand the huge pressure when he traveled through the world, even if Zhuang Xia crossed for the first time, his body was broken, but the World Tree made him reborn and finally became a child.
He only learned about these things later.
What's more, the World Tree will not agree, the energy consumption is too great, and it will not let Zhuang Xia reveal its existence.
"Is it really not good?" the pitiful appearance of the purple clothes was very moving.
Zhuang Xia shook his head.
"Forget it. She snorted and stopped talking.
It's just that Zhuang Xia can clearly perceive that her mood is heavy and lonely.
A few days later, the capital arrived, but Yeming was taken aback by Zhuang Xia's idea of traveling around the world, and tried his best to dissuade him.
Although he was worried about Zhuang Xia's danger, in fact, he was worried that Zhuang Xia would never return.
"Gather something for me to use when I get back. ”
Zhuang Xia left a sentence and turned to leave.
It doesn't matter if he agrees or not, he is not his father.
"My lord, isn't it bad to talk to the monarch like this? Ziyi was a little worried.
"What's so good or bad, what does it have to do with me that he is the king, should I grovel and talk to him? I don't ask him for anything, and I don't want anything from him. ”
The so-called desirelessness is rigid, and the so-called fearlessness is fearless. This is the case with Zhuang Xia.
The second stop, Zhao Guo. Zhuang Xia planned to walk from east to west and from north to south, probably in a counterclockwise direction.
Zhao is in the north of Chen State, with a fertile land of thousands of miles, and the national strength is profound, so it is just right to play.
However, what made him unhappy was that as soon as he entered the Zhao Kingdom, he was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers.
Probably, it should be revenge by Zhao Guo, after all, he ruined the good things of Zhao Guojun last time.
Zhuang Xia stood on the carriage, and the coachman trembled with fright and lay on the ground.
As for Ziyi, he was also frightened and was pressed in the carriage by Zhuang Xia.
"Uncle Johnson, the emerging aristocracy. Hehe, if you stay in Chen Kingdom, we can't do anything about you, but if you want to die and run to my Zhao Kingdom, you are really asking for your own death.
I am the general who guards the city, Li Xin, and I have come to take your head.
Today is your time of death!"
Li Xinxin laughed wildly, such a huge credit was actually sent to the door, it is really God's eyes.
"Do you think you're going to eat me? ”
Zhuang Xia was dismissive.
