184 Saibei is not at peace
Since ancient times, diplomats have not had a few fuel-efficient lamps, and if you go back tens of thousands of years, you will find that because of unsuccessful diplomacy, there are many hardcore diplomatic players who turn their heads and scare the other party's boss to death.
Let's put it this way, those who don't know a little about astronomy and geography and can't raise their hands to open mountains and rocks are not worthy of being called diplomats.
The earliest assassination was done by diplomats, because diplomacy was unsuccessful, and it was also done by diplomats who led soldiers and horses to tear down other people's cities in a fit of anger.
Winning the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand armies, destroying the canopy in the middle of a conversation and laughing, and soaking away the queen after a meal are all the basic skills of this group of diplomats.
Moreover, the competition in their industry is also quite fierce, and the first reaction of diplomats when they encounter the enemy is not to negotiate, nor is it to scold each other quickly, their first reaction is always to draw a knife and cut the other party over first, and even the generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time may not be as quick as them.
In short, diplomacy is a magical industry, and everyone has their own diplomatic style, but it is undeniable that good diplomats are definitely a group of amazing players with explosive language skills and hands-on ability.
When the old dean faced Chen Yuan, he had a feeling of going back to tens of thousands of years ago, the difference was that the diplomatic bigwigs tens of thousands of years ago drew knives and cut people every minute, while the current diplomats were angry people who stood in place with an innocent face......
Angry, the old dean can't directly slap Chen Yuan in front of everyone, and tell everyone what it means to be a small tree that doesn't cultivate and doesn't slip straight.
Forget it, the reality that my brother is an idiot is not unacceptable, just get used to it......
In this way, the old dean comforted himself while bringing everyone to the entrance of the secret realm in the West District, he now wants to solve everything as quickly as possible, and then have a good relationship with his lovely brother who he hasn't seen for many years!
......
The air was twisted by the heat, the earth was cracked by dryness, and all I could see along the way was a few wormwood plants that had been stuck behind the shadows of the rocks, struggling to survive in the extreme environment, and a few animal bones buried in the dust.
The north of the country is desolate, drought and heat are the frequent visitors here, and in this barren land, the most precious thing is the longing for but unreachable breeze in addition to the water.
A white cloak and a hat to cover the sun are the necessities of life in Saibei, and if you want to move forward in the land of Saibei, you must wear such a simple and practical attire.
There is so much cruelty in this land that its old friends can only languish in this land, and only its new friends dare to complain about its atrocities.
"So I feel that I have lost something, if I had known that this is the scene in Saibei this year, then I can't run this trip no matter how much money I am given. Zheng Ziyan sat in the shady cave he had just opened up, staring straight at the simple cooking pot in front of him with two thick wooden forks, and sighed again for the first time along the way.
"There's no way around it, after all, there's no one in the academy who is more reliable than us. Hua Shi Niang stirred the bottom of the pot with chopsticks, and at the same time used the words she had said countless times along the way to comfort the resentful senior sister again.
Zheng Ziyan looked at Hua Shi Niang sympathetically like a fool, and continued to sigh weakly: "So what I don't understand is where did your mysterious sense of superiority come from......
"It's not superiority, it's true. Hua Shi Niang explained solemnly: "Uncle Shi doesn't believe in anyone except the two of us, so we can only come over this time." ”
Zheng Ziyan just complained simply, but he didn't expect it to attract a serious explanation from Hua Shi Niang, and Zheng Ziyan suddenly felt that his heart was even more tired.
As the old dean's personal disciple, Zheng Ziyan's sensitivity to things is much higher than Hua Shi Niang's, she understands very well that if it is just a task to send a letter, then the master can send someone to run errands at will, anyway, just send an invitation, and it is not a shameful thing.
So sending an invitation is just a cover, a perfect reason for her and Hua Shi Niang to leave the academy logically, and their real task is just beginning after the letter is delivered.
With boring journeys, strange tasks, and boring words from my sister who loves her more seriously, is there anything more melancholy in the world......?
Zheng Ziyan complained weakly in her heart, and at the same time she was thinking about a few questions that had plagued her for a long time.
What kind of friendship does Saibei have with the academy, these two places that can't be touched? Obviously, he wants to pick up people by himself, but why can't the master even provide information about the other party, and he doesn't know what to take to pick up people.
Finally, the most important question is whether I should pay for mental damage when I go back, and how much is appropriate......
Zheng Ziyan has always thought about a lot of things, she looks eccentric on the surface, she is actually more mature than Hua Shi Niang, the most realistic metaphor is that she is thinking about the task, and Hua Shi Niang is only thinking about the rice pot in front of her......
Is it to make noodle soup or hot pot? This is the question that Hua Shi Niang is entangled, and I have to say that the choice of lunch can be tangled in this land cared for by drought is also a kind of happiness, a kind of happiness that belongs to the newcomers.
There is no place that can be rated as cool under the scorching sun of Saibei, and it can be called lucky to find a weathered boulder for shade, as for eating and drinking...... Whatever, as long as you don't eat and drink, you can't die.
Dirty fresh water mixed with mud and sand, hard dry bread, and porridge made from dried vegetables and a few grains of rice from last year were the lunch of the maiden and the guards.
It's not food that a lady should eat, or rather, it's not food, and even domestic animals scoff at it.
But this is Saibei, where there are only those who can eat and those who can't eat, and there is no desire to eat and those who don't want to eat, because the creatures of this land have long been deprived of the right to choose food by natural disasters.
The guard scooped the top of the pot with a layer of dusty turbid water into his bowl, and gave the maiden the cleaner and thicker vegetable porridge in the middle, and finally he kept the mixture of mud and sand and rice grains at the bottom of the pot for himself.
The girl silently took the rice bowl and thanked her softly.
Although she had never eaten this kind of food, although she was still the eldest lady of Lu Cheng and the sister of the city lord more than half a month ago, everything was different now.
Because her brother was burdened with a great sin, a big crime that was enough to make all the Terran cities in the north of the country face each other against the open city.
"My brother is not that kind of person, absolutely not!" This was Liu Qinian's angry roar when he was forcibly taken out of the open city by the guards.
The guard replied to her, "I'm sure your lords won't do such a thing, but you must leave the city, because here you will be a burden to your lords." ”
Zang Xi's answer was very ruthless and true, he received the task of leaving Lucheng with Liu Qinian and taking refuge in Xuantong Academy, where everything is unknown, as for Liu Qinian's feelings...... It wasn't on his radar.
He proved right, as they had discovered the first trailing killers in less than two days of travel, and although they were all masked, Zangxi could still tell their race from their breath, the Demon Cultivator.
Zangxi didn't know where the killers came from, but what he could be sure of was that his own city lord was indeed framed, and it was the group of people who wanted to start the war in the early days.
This news lifted the spirits of Zangxi, who fled from Lucheng with Liu Qinian, which meant that he no longer had to simply believe for the sake of belief, because he had found proof that would make him firm in his thoughts.
Thinking about what the group of killers kept saying, 'Strangling the rebel for the sake of the peace of Saibei', Zang Xi wanted to laugh, it turned out that the city lord who had always longed for peace had been arranged to be called 'rebellious', and his own guard could only take the young lady to hide in Tibet.
It's fun, it's so much fun......
"Miss, I'll take care of them. ”
Zang Xi put down the rice bowl in his hand, turned his back to the scorching sun, and slowly walked towards the group of demon cultivator killers who had tracked down again.
"I once imagined the day I walked out of Saibei, the day when the lord of the city personally helped me to drink and see me off, and the friends in the city wept for me that day......"
The murmur was buried by the dust and sand stirred by the spiritual power, and Zangxi walked forward in the whirlpool of wind and dust, the extra light gold snake spear in his hand was a weapon he hadn't used for many years, and the colorful blood stains on the tip of the spear were proof that the previous groups of killers had seen him.
"I also thought that I would marry a wife and have a child in Saibei, that girl loved me very much, and we also had a child, a boy, he was better than me, I was just a guard, and he aspired to be a city lord who blessed the people......"
The sound of wind and sand is getting closer and closer, and the coverage is getting wider and wider, the killers stopped in shock, they received the task of arresting Liu Qinian, but no one mentioned that Liu Qinian was surrounded by strong people who could affect the heavens.
Isn't this a pit man? If you can't beat it, you won't run back to report it? The killers complained in their hearts with gloomy faces about their former teammates who had long since turned into dry bones on the side of the road.
I have to say that this is really a coincidence, because their former teammates also thought the same thing when facing Zangxi......
Zangxi's murmur grew louder and louder, and his voice grew hoarse, like a sleeping ancient beast that had been woken up and was about to vent its anger on the ignorant.
"I have fantasized about everything in the future, but the only thing I didn't expect is that there is no place for me to hide my hope now!"
The sandstorm dissipated in a low roar, revealing the true face of the giant beast, Zangxi is still Zangxi, but there is an extra set of gold-black spiritual power armor on his body, and a pair of blood-colored vertical pupils hidden under the face armor and not seen by outsiders.
"Alright, I don't want to ask anything else. Wearing black armor and holding a golden spear in his hand, the god Zangxi walked towards the killers step by step with an overwhelming momentum: "I just want to ask you, have you considered your own death before catching up with me!?"
