Wu Feng did not hesitate to praise the beauty of women, and Meng Qiwu and Yun Hailan were often praised by him.

It's just that Sheng Zuixiang took the lead, so he had to say: "The hall is full of three thousand guests, and the fourteen states of frost and frost are cold, and Miss Sheng of the Ashina Sect is really worthy of her reputation." ”

Sheng Zuixiang heard this, his eyes flickered, and he said, "I didn't expect him to even tell you this." Do you know why fourteen states, not forty states?"

With Wu Feng's extensive reading, he naturally knows the origin of these two poems.

Hundreds of years ago, the Heavenly Master Daoist served as the envoy of the Weiyang Festival, and his power was extremely great, and the land of Jiangdong was under his control.

There is a famous poet monk to meet this person, dedicated a poem, the most famous of which is "full of flowers drunk 3,000 guests, a sword frost cold fourteen states".

However, this person was ambitious, and was not satisfied with the fourteen states in his control, but wanted to expand his sphere of influence to the forty states under the jurisdiction of the entire Great Song Dynasty, so he asked the poet and monk to change "fourteen" to "forty", and promised to reward them generously and reuse them.

Unexpectedly, the poet monk was very backbone, and replied that "the state is difficult to add, and the poem is also difficult to change", and would rather not reward and be generous, drifting into Shu and disappearing.

But Wu Feng knew that Sheng Zuixiang's question would never be so simple, it was just his own knowledge to test the school.

He groaned slightly, and then figured out the answer.

"But Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yongzhou, Yuzhou, Youzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Ningzhou, Guangzhou?" replied Wu Feng.

Hundreds of years ago, the small state system was used, and the states were divided into very small counties, equivalent to only one county or even half a county in the Middle Ages, but in recent years, the old large state system has been restored. The fourteen states of that Heavenly Master Dao Lord are actually equivalent to the territory of Yangzhou. And the forty states he wanted were equivalent to the three states in the south of the Yangtze River in the current Great Song Dynasty: Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou.

The Kyushu divided by Wuzu are Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou and Yuzhou, of which Liangzhou is roughly equivalent to the current Yizhou. Kyushu is divided into three sides in the north and three in the south, and the north three sides are Youshu in the northeast and Merge Prefecture in the north. Liangzhou in the northwest, Guangzhou in the southeast, Ningzhou in the southwest, and Jiaozhou in the south.

But in fact, Jiaozhou is already in the southern wilderness. It does not belong to Middle Earth, and the Jianzhou north of Youzhou is also at the junction of Beimang and Middle Earth, and most of it is the territory of the Demon Gate.

Therefore, the vast land of Middle-earth happens to be the fourteen states. Sheng Zuixiang is not even the leader of the Ashina Sect now. And what her father Sheng Xuanhuai has in his hands is only one-third of the prairie, and she already has the ambition to take all Middle-earth!

Sheng Zuixiang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Wu Feng to be so talented, but in a moment, he knew the reason.

She immediately laughed like a silver bell, without restraint, and her laughter contained a magic that went straight to the hearts of people, if Wu Feng's heart was a little weaker, he would definitely not be able to control it.

It's not any kind of flattery. is the natural luxurious aura, which has increased her charm many times.

"Sure enough, it's a young man who is worth seeing this girl!" Sheng Zuixiang said: "If it's just a good-looking face, I'll detain you here as a plaything, with such knowledge, it's worth befriending." ”

These words were said frankly, revealing a heroic atmosphere.

Wu Feng was embarrassed for a while when he heard this, and was speechless again.

After a while, he said, "Miss Sheng...... You're doing this...... If you are uninhibited, you are not afraid of being taken advantage of?"

Sheng Zuixiang smiled again and said, "Only people like you will be shy." It's a cute boy. If you are cranky, your eyes are dirty, and you want to do it even more, then you are a hateful stinky man. Naturally, it should be minced and fed to the dogs. ”

She looked calm and took it for granted.

Wu Feng also believes that she definitely doesn't just talk. Di Linjian's unqualified shadow dancer said that the sword, but he was afraid of the fate after death, that is, it was chopped up and made into dog feed.

Sheng Zuixiang waved his hand and said in a long voice: "Come on, serve the food." ”

The sound is not high. But it is extremely melodious, far away from the tent.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and it was the cook who brought the dishes outside the tent, and then the two maids guarding the door brought the dishes up.

With such a fast speed, it must be that at the same time that Di Linjian entered the account, the chef had already begun to prepare, and several chefs worked together to make the dishes in such a short time.

Wu Feng had tasted Di Linjian's "extraordinary craftsmanship", and thought that he would eat half-salted beef and mutton again and drink fishy mare's milk wine, but he didn't expect that the dishes served looked quite exquisite.

Sheng Zuixiang led Wu Feng, and the two sat at the small table in front of the bed.

In the center is a plate of mushrooms as white as frost and snow, which is extremely tender and smooth, and the aroma is compelling, which makes people appetize. On the periphery, crispy bamboo shoots with fungus, simmered bracken sprouts in chicken soup, white-cut beef, and red braised lamb chops are placed on the periphery, and the staple food is porridge with millet meat, and the wine is Sheng Zuixiang's favorite stuffed grape wine.

Wu Feng tasted the mushroom first, only to feel that it was tender and refreshing, the taste was refreshing, and the aftertaste lasted for a long time. Several other dishes are also salty and light, and the taste is extremely beautiful.

Mushrooms are a very famous specialty mushroom on the grassland, and they are also loved by the people of Middle-earth, because the yield is very low, and the freight is expensive, and it is often sold for sky-high prices in Middle-earth.

"These ingredients, also all taken from the grassland, are all specialties of the grassland. But maybe to your taste?" Sheng Zuixiang smiled.

Wu Feng understood what she meant.

The ingredients on the grassland can also make a fresh and moist taste suitable for the taste of the people of Middle-earth, so the magic gate will go south to the Central Plains, and the system on the grassland will be slightly adjusted, and the country can also be governed.

But in Wu Feng's view, if the Hu people really want to govern the Central Plains well, they must be like the Great Wei royal family back then, turn themselves into the Middle Earth, and use the politics of the Middle Earth to fully integrate into the Central Plains people, which is actually no different from the governance of the Central Plains people. However, this process will suffer strong pains, whether it is the economy, people's livelihood or culture, it will be greatly damaged.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, that is something that only a saint can do. Hu leaders like Yi Zhongtang and Sheng Zuixiang will not have the ability to govern the country as if they were cooking.

But Wu Feng also realized another point.

Although Sheng Zuixiang wanted the whole of Middle-earth, she was very likely to delay the pace of the Demon Gate going south.

The reason is very simple, Sheng Zuixiang's ambition and appetite are too great.

The current sect leader of the Sendai Demon Sect, Yi Zhongtang, can be called a generation of heroes, and through years of hard work, he has collected more than two-thirds of the strength of the Demon Sect in his hands.

Sheng Zuixiang is the only daughter of Sheng Xuanhuai, the leader of the Ashina Sect, and Sheng Xuanhuai has already practiced and gone crazy and paralyzed half of his body, and it must be a matter of recent years to hand over the Ashina Sect to her.

Yi Zhongtang is Sheng Zuixiang's father-in-law, and he loves her very much, treating her as his own daughter, which Wu Feng has also heard from Di Linjian. However, with Sheng Zuixiang's ambition, would he really like to see his father-in-law unify the Demon Gate and go south, instead of doing it himself? )
