There are few people outside the Bauhinia Pass, because of the vast desert, the yellow sand paves the ground, the wind is howling, and the snow is flying all over the sky, if it is not for the Haidongqing guide along the way, the jade pendant leads the way, Zhen Ying and the others don't know how long it will take to get out of the desert and reach the foot of the Holy Maiden Peak in the north.

The world is divided into five points, the terrain of Zhongzhou is diverse, the country name of Zhongzhou is now "Zhou", the Jiang family is the first great family, it is said that it is the first family, in the end, the founding of the country is not long, and the heirs are not abundant, that is, the prince and princess, the princess and the princess are all sealed, and there are still many places that cannot be taken care of.

For example, thirty miles north of Bauhinia Pass, it stands to reason that it is also the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because the land is really barren and the food is tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it, the imperial court only arranged a post station, and the side has never been managed.

This is a difficult bone to gnaw, and despite the ambitions of the 36 tribes in the north, no one is willing to attack this place and be the wronged leader.

The nomads live in pursuit of water and grass, and the 30 miles of vacuum area, not to mention the yellow sand, and the occasional sleet from the south of Siberia, is the camp of the steppe people, and the cattle and sheep are the most important property of the nomads.

After burying the post house couple, everyone cleaned up the traces and swept away the dry food and wine in the cellar - except for the wine and food in Zhen Ying's room, the whole inn was empty, and there was nothing to do at all.

Zhen Ying had always been curious about where the source of goods came from to open a hotel in a place where birds don't.

There is a well and a vegetable patch in the small courtyard behind the inn, if there is no oasis market nearby, the output of this ghost place alone cannot even be provided for a family of three.

It's really heartbreaking.

Mr. Luo walked south and north, and when she was bored on the road, she simply solved her doubts.

"The emperor is not so easy to be. Since Emperor Taizu Gao, every emperor must be a monk, and after ascending the throne, he must use his own cultivation to feed the national fortune. Otherwise, monks have a long lifespan, why do you think the crown prince who is one in a hundred, after becoming the emperor, has a lifespan that is not as good as their mediocre uncles and nephews? ”

"The 'emperor's heart' is linked to the national fortune, if the emperor is wise and martial, he can naturally complement each other and get some benefits from the national fortune. If the balance is good, it is really a thousand years old, long live, and there is a line for all generations, so why not? ”

"But it can't stand the prediction of natural disasters, and people's hearts are changeable. Although the existing system of electing the emperor can ensure that the person who ascends the throne is the most suitable candidate, but after a long time, where can there be a perfect person who is perfect in all aspects? ”

"So since the first emperor, he retreated to the second best and took the initiative to reduce the scope of the blessings of the 'national fortune' - within the territory of the country, give up thirty miles of land to make a buffer. At the same time, people who have left their homes are also encouraged to settle here, regardless of their origins and past checks, and they are repeat offenders, just as ordinary people. Both of them are a little cultivated, so they must have committed a crime and fled here. As for food and drink? Monks can awaken their own talents, among which women's talents are mostly related to 'space', the proprietress is obviously higher, but her martial arts are mediocre, and all her strength is used in 'space'. ”

Understood, the emotional boss lady is a female frequency heroine script, isn't it all written like this in novels now? Male frequency crossing belt system, female frequency crossing has space.

So what's the matter with me Zhen Ying? The system doesn't give it, and the space doesn't give it, so I'm not crossing it in vain?

Seeing Zhen Ying's entangled face, Luo Ling thought that she was troubled by her failure to cultivate: "Xiao Langjun is still young, and he will have time to find his own 'Dao' in the future." ”

As she was talking, Zhen Ying's face suddenly splashed with water.

The horse's hooves were submerged in the water, just above their knees, and a small river meandered ahead.

Looking in the direction of the water, there are faint snow-capped mountains, among which there are twin peaks towering like clouds, and the snow on the top of the mountain is inseparable from the white clouds in the sky.

"The Virgin's Peak has arrived."

On the plain grassland ahead, many herdsmen led horses, sheep and camels, carrying their bags, and bowed to the Virgin Peak step by step.

In front of this heavenly creation, everyone unconsciously lowered their voices.

Luo Ling and Zhen Ying rode alone, Luo Ling was still holding Xie Tong in his arms, and the boy was still asleep, his face was red.

Zhen Ying was wrapped in a thick leather robe, and her whole person was covered with yellow sand, and now that Princess Wu was standing in front of her, she probably couldn't recognize her.

The female doll who was easy to raise a little meat was almost destroyed into a little old man with a weathered face.

Fortunately, Luo Darttou had already prepared, and asked the herdsmen's family for a lot of cow and sheep fat paste to wipe his face along the way, so that Zhen Ying's dough would not dry into tree bark.

Since leaving the inn, the speed of the journey has slowed down significantly. Leaving the "no man's land" where birds don't poop, even if you move slowly, you can often see the herdsmen's tents, and whenever this happens, Luo Darttou will speak an unfamiliar foreign language, mixed with some northern official dialect to talk to people.

Thanks to Princess Wan'an's kindness, in addition to the nobles of various tribes, the younger dolls in the north can speak fluent official dialect.

The closer you get to the Virgen Peak, the denser the number of tents becomes, and the weather is sunny on this day, with neither annoying sand nor biting snowstorms.

The Saintess Virgin Peak is a sacred mountain in the north, and when there is a major event, the 36 northern departments will assemble here to vote, and there are also unmarried women who climb the Saint's Virgin Peak, and pilgrims...... Together, these people form the largest bazaar in the North.

Wangshan ran a dead horse, Zhen Ying and Luo Ling began to speed up when they heard the camel bell, and it took a while to reach their destination. Xie Tong woke up early because he couldn't stand the bumps, and looked at the high-nosed and deep-eyed aliens around him, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

Princess Wan'an was born to a tribute girl from the Western Regions, with a slightly deeper outline and a pair of glass pupils that are rare in the Central Plains. At this time, the population gathered in the bazaar was even more diverse, not only with different hair colors and pupil colors, but also with fluffy tails or pointed animal ears, even Zhen Ying, who was used to seeing big scenes, was amazed.

Seeing that the two little dolls were always staring at other people's ears, Luo Ling smiled helplessly: "The northern realm is different from the Central Continent, the strong are respected, and there are not many monks, and those close to the demon clan like to live here." ”

While speaking, Luo Ling placed Xie Tong on the horse, dismounted himself, and followed his memory to find an inn opened by a native of the Central Plains.

The one who ran the hall was a twelve- or thirteen-year-old clever child, with a pair of green cat eyes as pure as gems, seeing Zhen Ying and Xie Tong, he immediately showed the joy of meeting his peers, but he did not forget his duty, and led the horse neatly, Zhen Ying noticed that the robe behind him opened a small opening, revealing a big fiery red tail.

As soon as a few people entered the lobby, the shopkeeper came out of the counter and hugged Luo Ling warmly, with a slightly southern colloquial Zhongzhou official dialect: "I received a carrier pigeon a few days ago, I was looking forward to you, are your uncles and aunts okay?" He looked down and saw Zhen Ying and Xie Tong again: "Yo, when did my sister-in-law give birth to a big fat boy?" Still two? The little nephew brought it out so little, and you are so ruthless as a father. ”

Luo Ling was commensurate with Zhen Ying's father and son all the way, and now seeing that Xie Tong was misrecognized, he smiled helplessly: "Where, your sister-in-law is not in good health, and our family doesn't expect me to inherit the lineage, find a relative's successor, and not cut off the incense." These two children are the sons of old people, and their parents are very busy, so this time they came out with me to see the world. ”

The shopkeeper nodded this time, and patted Zhen Ying on the shoulder again: "Hey, this kid is not very strong, your good martial arts, you plan to leave it to your son?" ”

Only then did Zhen Ying notice that the shopkeeper's right hand was missing three fingers, and he was behind the counter, and he was also using the abacus with his left hand.

The shopkeeper is an old acquaintance of Luo Ling, who knows the rules of the dart game, and does not take wine, but only lets him work by himself.

He took a doll in one hand and shouted back: "Brother Shui, there is a distinguished guest today, close early, you go to the back kitchen to slaughter the cow, and call your mother to come down and show your hand." ”

After a while, a woman's laughter came from the back kitchen: "Okay, I finally seized the opportunity to attack the cow today." I saw the curtain in the back kitchen open with a "swish", revealing a charming orchid.

The woman had a high nose and deep eyes, her eyes were as green as a pool, and her lips were plump and full, slightly pursed, like a blooming flower. Warm and unrestrained red hair fell from the shoulders to the waist.

While talking, the woman tilted her head, turned her fluffy hair in her hand, loosely pulled it with a hairpin, and jumped in front of the shopkeeper, not avoiding people, a pair of curious eyes only stared at the two children beside Luo Ling.
