Chapter 498, Go to the Western Regions, Uncle Lu

Gong Defeat took out the map sent by the Yin and Yang family.

Looking at the behemoth on the drawing, Ziyou once again felt a sense of absurdity, the scale of the mirage in the drawing was about the same size as the treasure ship of Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty thousands of years later, and even more advanced than the treasure ship in some aspects.

"Shazhou, how are you doing?" Ziyou asked.

The sand boat is also a sand boat that can be driven on the desert by the public loser, and it is like driving on the sand as if it were on water. The sand boat is driven by manpower, and it is equipped with the latest weapons researched by the Qin State, and the large sand boat can transport a thousand people, and the small one can also transport a hundred people.

"The first batch of sand boats has been handed over to the Pacers, and the feedback from the Walkers has been very good, but the second batch of sand boats has already been built." Gong Defeat said with hatred.

"Okay, get ready for the second batch of sand boats, I will go to the Western Regions in the near future." Ziyou said.

"Understood." Gong Defeat said with hatred.

After letting Gong Lose Revenge and Xiang Li Guan began to vigorously build a mirage, Ziyou returned to the Wangshi's Mansion, and the Startling Salamander and Snow Maiden, who had been staying in the mansion, handed over the information of the recent net to Ziyou. Luo Wang has always been the most important eyes and ears of Ziyou, and in any case, Ziyou needs someone to stay behind Luo Wang to sort out the recent information.

After reading several key pieces of information, Ziyou breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's been a long time since you've been so relaxed, what is it that makes you so easy?" The startled salamander pinched Ziyou's shoulder and said.

"Everything has to be done." Ziyou closed his eyes and said lightly.

"When the six kingdoms are unified, there will only be one Cangwu King and the Kingdom of Dian left in the south, and it is only a matter of time. Indeed, you can get some rest." The salamander whispered.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about. There will be no problem in handing over the affairs of Baiyue and Dianguo to Wang Qian. I'm talking about the remnants of the Six Kingdoms." Ziyou said.

"Haven't the remnants of the Six Nations been cleaned up?" The salamander asked.

"How can this be killed? No matter what, there will be people who miss their homeland, this is human nature, and we cannot change it. All we can do is get these people to give up the idea of recovering the country by force. But there are also some people who have a good life and have to rebel, so I can only send them away. But fortunately, all the previous efforts were not in vain, and those who were focused on by the net either gave up the idea of recovering the country, or left the Central Plains, in short, the Qin State has been much more stable, and there is no need to worry about the resurgence of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms." Ziyou said.

"You said about leaving the Central Plains, it's Zhang Liang, right?" The salamander said.

"That's right, Zhang Liang went to the Western Regions and followed the Taoist people, and they also took away the descendant of the Xiang clan, Xiang Yu." Ziyou said.

"If you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles." The salamander said.

"That's what I said, but the Taoist begged the king and protected Zhang Liang with the Taoist's loyalty to the Qin State. Taoism is the first hundred schools to choose and support the Qin State, whether it is in the old love or the Taoist credit to the Qin State, the king cannot but let go of Zhang Liang." Ziyou said.

"I don't understand why the Taoists want to protect Zhang Liang?" The salamander asked.

"Because of the prophecies that the Taoists believe. Zhou Taishi Dan saw Qin Xiangong and said: Qin Shi and Zhou are together, they are united and separated, they should be reunited at the age of 500, and they will be overlord for 17 years. This sentence was regarded by Taoists as the flow of the general trend from the world, so they would support the Qin State. Now the king has reigned for many years, and the world is unified, although much earlier than the prophecy, but Taoists now believe that this world unification includes not only the six kingdoms, but also the Baiyue and the Western Regions.

The world in front of them is already chaotic, and they still have a way to fool the past, but this overlord can't, they think Xiang Yu is this overlord." Ziyou said.

"Isn't it said that the Daoist family wants to support Xiang Yu to overthrow the Qin State?" The salamander asked in surprise.

"Of course not. This overlord refers to the fact that the Son of Heaven does not obey and guards the Quartet; The king, the only king in the world! The "overlord" here refers to the king who dominates the world. Do you think that even if the Taoists really want to support Xiang Yu, do you think Xiang Yu has the ability to overthrow the current Qin State and become the king of the world?

Therefore, the meaning of the sentence of Taoist transformation is that after the king is called the emperor, the king will be the emperor of the world, not the king. At that time, Xiang Yu was in the Western Regions to intimidate many countries, and he was a little overlord of the Western Regions. With this reason, too, this prophecy was reluctantly fulfilled. After all, the little overlord of the Western Regions is also an overlord." Ziyou said.

"Isn't this self-deception for Taoists?" The salamander said.

"Don't speculate on what these immortal cultivators think, they're not normal people. If one day they really support the rebellion of the thieves, Fusu will stand up and say that I am the overlord. These people may kill themselves on the spot to achieve the situation of the overlord." Ziyou said speechlessly.

Listening to Ziyou's words, the startled salamander had a headache.

"Sure enough, immortal cultivators are not normal people." The startled salamander said, "What about Zhang Liang?"

"Xiang Yu is a person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and it is basically impossible to get Xiang Yu to listen to them. Xiang Yu only listened to Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang was very intelligent, and he was involved in Confucianism, soldiers, and Taoism. As long as you cultivate it a little, you will be a powerful strategist, Xiang Yu is responsible for charging into battle, Zhang Liang is responsible for giving advice, and Taoists are responsible for occupying territory, so why not?" Ziyou said.

"The Taoists want to use Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang to help them gain territory in the Western Regions." The salamander said.

"That's right." Ziyou said that the Hundred Schools of Thought regard the Western Regions as a place for social experiments, and whether they can survive to the end depends on their own abilities, and it is impossible for countries to be free of wars, so one who can give advice and one who can fight is in demand. Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu are both rare talents, so it's no wonder if they don't strike first?

"What about Confucianism? Aren't Confucians ready to go to the Western Regions?" The startled salamander thought that hundreds of schools were going to the Western Regions, but only Confucianism did not move, and only a small number of people went to the Western Regions with the mentality of playing.

"There is the Qin State, what else is the Western Regions? The Western Regions is to give other sects a way to live, and if Confucianism goes again, it will force these people and Confucianism to fight endlessly." Ziyou said.

In terms of how to assimilate a race, these sects together are not necessarily opponents of Confucianism. In addition to Confucianism, only small sects have not gone, and these people have long given up the idea of governing the country and completely transformed into a very practical sect.

"When are we going to the Western Regions?" The salamander asked.

"Let's rest for a few days. Let people be relaxed and measured." Ziyou said.

"Okay."

Ziyou closed the door to the Wangshi Mansion for half a month, and did not go to the court during this period, and cultivated at home every day. It wasn't until Wang Jian came back that Baiyue had been pacified and Cangwu was destroyed, that Ziyou took the selected soldiers to the Western Regions.

A month later, Ziyou and his army had come to Zhangye, which was not the city of the later generations, but a small town besieged by three military forts.

"Who's down there?" The soldier in the fort shouted.

"Master Qin, Mr. Ziyou has arrived, open the door quickly." The Crow shouted upward.

"Proof of it!" The soldier shouted.

The ink crow held up the token representing Ziyou's identity, and the soldier on it shouted loudly when he saw it

"Please also ask Master Wang for forgiveness, we are also duty, we will open the door."

"Okay."

Mo Yao nodded at Ziyou, and after the gate of the military fort opened, the general of the military fort walked out and saluted Ziyou.

"General Zhangye Defenders, Che Jingran meets Master Wang. Forgive me, I received the order before, but we didn't expect it to arrive so soon." Che Jingran said.

"It's okay, what's the situation in the Western Regions now?" Ziyou dismounted and asked.

"My lord, let's talk as we walk." Che Jingran stepped out of the way and said.

"Okay."

"Now the Western Regions have been divided into two parts, one part is close to our Great Qin, and these people are centered on the Cheshi Kingdom controlled by Lord Lu and Lord Gongsun, including the twelve surrounding countries. These twelve countries united to form a half encirclement of the Wusun Kingdom. The kingdom of Wusu is now in a state of civil strife, and the younger brother of the king of Wusun country, who occupies the second largest city of Wusun country, has 60,000 troops in his hands, and occupies one-third of Wusu

Sun Guo. And the king of Wusun has united with other countries close to Wusun and is quelling the rebellion." Che Jingran said.

"Well, what's going on with Loulan?" Ziyou asked.

"According to our investigation, Loulan seems to have been hidden for some reason, and we have inquired about the specific situation, Loulan is also an extremely mysterious country in the Western Regions, and the former Loulan still exists in the world, and is one of the powerful countries in the Western Regions on an equal footing with the Wusun Kingdom, but then I don't know why the Loulan King City disappeared into the desert overnight, and the dragons above and below Loulan were ownerless, and they were soon divided by the surrounding countries.

According to the description of the locals, we found the location of the former Loulan King City, but the location was surrounded by quicksand, and we had sand boats to enter to look for it, but in the end, there was no trace of the city except for a desert." Che Jingran said.

"Well, is there a person named Uncle Lu in the town under your complicated jurisdiction? And a girl in a strange dress." Ziyou said.

"This subordinate doesn't know, so the subordinate will investigate." Che Jingran said.

"Well, don't startle them when you find them, and tell them as soon as possible."

After entering the city, the snow girl in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked around curiously.

"The city in this desert is no different from the one in Xianyang." Snow Maiden said.

"This is a city built by the king, of course, it was built in accordance with the style of the Qin State, and it still belongs to the territory of the Qin State, as for the style of the Western Regions, I am afraid that it can only be seen in the real Western Regions." Concubine Yan said.

"Okay, but the desert still looks interesting." Snow Maiden said.

The others also nodded, none of them had ever seen a desert, so they were very curious about the desert.

"Novelty is novelty, but it's too hot in the desert." Flame Spirit Ji said with her small hand fanning the wind.

Once they entered the desert, they felt as if they were in a huge steamer, and if it weren't for the Snow Maiden making some ice cubes, the five of them would have been crammed into the car to death.

"Mademoises, the place to live has arrived." The voice of the crow sounded outside the carriage.

After Concubine Yan replied, the five of them got out of the carriage. The Snow Girl looked around, but did not find Ziyou's figure.

"Where's the gentleman?" Snow Girl asked.

"Sir went to prepare for General Che's trip to the desert tomorrow, and I will be back later." Ink Raven said.

"Oh."

The Snow Maiden then ignored it, and the five of them followed the crow into the inn.

When Ziyou was discussing with Che Jingran about going to Loulan tomorrow, the guards outside the door came to report.

"My lord, general, we have found the old man and the girl you mentioned. They're nearby." The guard said.

"Such a coincidence? Where is it?" Ziyou asked.

"In a small town outside the city, the town's guard is called Fruit, and he sent someone to report it." The guard said.

"Well, take me." Ziyou said.

"No!"

The guards took Ziyou and Che Jingran towards the town where Uncle Lu and the girl were.

Soon the group came to a farmhouse, and a middle-aged and elderly man in a black and brown robe inside the fence looked at the Qin soldiers outside and shook hands nervously with Ziyou, who was the leader.

"You wait for me outside, and I'll go in myself." Ziyou said. ,

"My lord, the safety inside is not known yet, do you want the old man to come out and talk?" Che Jingran glanced at Uncle Lu vigilantly and said.

"No, I don't."

After speaking, Ziyou walked outside the fence and looked at Uncle Lu and said

"Hello old man."

"Hello adults, I don't know what adults are looking for me to do with this old man?" Uncle Lu said to Zi *** salute.

"Old man, I went straight to the point, I know that you are Loulan's waiter, and I came to you to go to Loulan."

Ziyou took out the Pixiu in his arms and said.

After hearing that Ziyou had revealed his identity, Uncle Lu was nervous for the first time, thinking about where he had a flaw. But when he saw Ziyou take out the dragon soul, Uncle Lu's eyes widened, the copper pipe in his hand fell to the ground, and his hands trembled.

"This, this. This is the dragon soul!" Uncle Lu said excitedly.

As Loulan's waiter, the purpose of his departure from Loulan was to find the dragon soul, but after walking all over the Central Plains and not finding the whereabouts of the dragon soul, he was inevitably disappointed in his heart, so he temporarily returned to this town to prepare for a recuperation before continuing to set off.

"With the blessing of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, I actually found the dragon soul." Uncle Lu said that he wanted to step forward and take away the dragon soul.

Ziyou frowned and put away the dragon soul.

"Old man, this is not your thing."

Old Uncle Lu watched the dragon soul being put away, and only then did he react, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face.

"I'm sorry, I'm so excited." Uncle Lu said.

"I can understand that you are a Loulan attendant, and your purpose is to find the dragon soul." Ziyou nodded and said.

Watching Ziyou reveal his identity one after another, say his mission, and take out the dragon soul, Uncle Lu looked at the Qin soldiers outside again, and suddenly understood Ziyou's purpose in his heart.

"You just said you were going to Loulan, are you for the Soldier Demon God?" Uncle Lu said nervously.

"That's right, I'm here for the Demon God. Old man, you should have heard my name after walking in the Central Plains for many years, my name is Ziyou." Ziyou said to Uncle Lu.

For Ziyou, Uncle Lu has naturally heard of it, he can hear this name wherever he goes in the Central Plains, and he knows that the biggest promoter of Qin's domination of the world is the young man in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I won't take you to Loulan." Uncle Lu said that although he really wanted to get the dragon soul, he couldn't take Ziyou to Loulan.

The current Western Regions were a mess by the Qin State, and Uncle Lu was very sure that the purpose of the Qin State was to occupy the Western Regions. The Qin State destroyed the six countries of the Central Plains, and now he wants to occupy the Western Regions, if he takes Ziyou to Loulan, not only will the dangerous soldier and demon gods be unsealed at that time, but Loulan will also be destroyed by the Qin State.

"You don't know what the God of War and Demon means, it's not a power that only humans can control, and if you break the seal, it will only ruin the lives of this land. You must know that thousands of years ago, everything here was the same as the Central Plains, with beautiful scenery, pleasant scenery and fertile land...... But later, these were destroyed by the Soldier Demon God.

The power it contains will only destroy everything!" Uncle Lu said excitedly.

"I know, I have a way to control the Demon God." Ziyou said lightly, he not only has the dragon soul in his hands, but also the flame spirit Ji, a person with the bloodline of Chiyou, who is enough to control the soldier demon god.

"Ignorance! You will pay for your ignorance!" Uncle Lu roared angrily.

Looking at the stubborn Uncle Lu, Ziyou knew that it was impossible to grasp the route to Loulan from him.

"I know that Loulan is covered by quicksand, so it's hard to find, and I'm looking for you to save time, not because you have to." Ziyou said lightly.

Looking at Zi You, who was cold, Uncle Lu didn't say anything anymore, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend Zi You, and now he could only hope that Loulan's guardian beast could stop Zi You.
