Seeing the mysterious smile on Fang Lin's face, Qu Shan'er immediately said loudly: "Fang Lin, don't sell Guanzi anymore, or we will beat you collectively!" ”

Fang Lin immediately put on a helpless expression and said, "Shan'er, I really didn't have a temper at all because of you." ”

Qu Shan'er smiled when she heard this: "Then don't say it quickly, see if you dare to sell Guan Zi in front of me in the future, hehe." ”

Even though it was already late at night, and everyone was on the star platform, there was no possibility of being eavesdropped, Fang Lin still cautiously laid a layer of soundproofing prohibition, and then everyone came closer to listen to Fang Lin tell him all his plans.

Three days later, Fang Lin had a secret conversation with Fang Yuanxing, Fang Cheng, Fang Li, and Yang Bu for a whole morning, and then the four of them took a thousand elites of the Huanhua Wetland to the direction of Shangguo, and after another two days, the three major factions also gathered seven thousand men and horses to go in the direction of Yuguo.

In front of the Absolute Poison Willow Belt, Hu Qian looked at the extremely terrifying and mysterious Absolute Poison Willow Forest Belt in front of them with his mouth wide open, and the scene in front of him was completely different from what they imagined, this was just a small forest with a radius of no more than fifty zhang, but the willow trees growing in this range were not quite the same as other places.

The willows here are very small, the willow leaves are very wide, twice as large as the normal willow leaves, the whole trunk is dark purple, even the leaves are also dark purple, these willows are not very dense, on the contrary, they are very sparse, there is a great distance between the two willows, the woods are very refreshing, the line of sight will not be blocked by half a minute, and a large number of treasures growing in it are unobstructed.

"This... This... This is the Poison Willow Belt? Are you mistaken, this place looks like poison, and I've heard that the Poison Willow Forest is more than ten miles long. Hu Qian stammered.

"That's your false rumor, the Poison Willow Forest Belt is actually only fifty zhang in radius, you look at so many treasures in it, if it is an ordinary forest, will no one pick them?" One of the disciples who led the way scoffed.

Hu Qian smiled and said, "Also... It's also ha, hehe, hehe. He understood that he had no status at all in front of these people in front of him.

The disciple who led the way turned a deaf ear to Hu Qian's words, and just looked at Fang Lin and said, "We tried our best to only get some things in the outermost way, everyone knows that the more you go inside, the more valuable they are, hey, it's a pity that we can only just watch." ”

Hearing this, Ayinata snorted coldly and said, "Those things are highly poisonous, and even if you get them, you don't know how to use them." ”

After listening to Ayinata's words, the disciple didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, he knew that anyone who was in the same group as Fang Lin was someone he couldn't provoke, so he laughed and said, "Where is the girl, we have two ninth-level alchemists in Dongxia Mountain, if these things reach their hands, they will definitely become priceless pills." ”

"Hmph, it's just a waste, refining medicine can only exert half of their effect, let me tell you, their real use is to refine Gu, they can refine many Gu that kill people invisibly and are unguardable, hehe, if I have these things, the Gu that will be refined is guaranteed to be called Nai He Realm, no, even people in the Reincarnation Realm have to be afraid of three points." Ayinata said proudly.

Hearing her words, everyone couldn't help but shudder, and Concubine Shu said: "No, there are many medicinal materials combined with some other precious medicinal materials, you can refine a good pill to improve your cultivation, for example, that Caixing Grass, you can use Xuanyin Dew plus some other medicinal materials to refine the 'Xuanyan Pill' that is very useful to the martial artists of the Yanyan Realm, and ······."

Next, Concubine Shu said a lot of medicinal materials and their good uses, but Ayinata said disdainfully: "These things you use are at most useful to the martial artists of the Yin and Yang Realm, but I use them to be strong people who can threaten the reincarnation realm, which of us do you say to use them better?" ”

Concubine Shu was speechless when she heard this, but at this time, Qu Shan'er said: "Will the powerhouse of the Reincarnation Realm just stand like this and let you cast Gu on him?" Even if it's a sneak attack, are you really sure that your Gu will be able to exert an effect on others? I'm afraid that your Gu will be dodged by others before it can reach the edge of others, since it can't work on others, what use can it be no matter how powerful it is? ”

This time, it was Ayinata's turn to speak, so she had to stomp her feet fiercely and said, "Dead Shan'er, stinky Shan'er, you know that against me, I hate you to death." ”

"Okay, okay, two aunts and grandmothers, we haven't gotten anything yet, why are you arguing." Fang Lin played a round road.

The two were just arguing, and when they saw that someone gave them the steps, they immediately went down, and Ainata smiled: "Quick, release the five poisonous rats, it will collect all the treasures inside, first say okay, I must ask for some of these things, I can't give them, or I will bother you every day." ”

Fang Lin smiled and said, "As long as you are useful, you will give it to you, but you must promise me that your Gu can't be used to harm people casually!" ”

"Cut, how can I use such a precious thing casually? Ordinary people I can kill with just two witchcrafts, don't worry, I won't use these things unless I have to. Ainata said.

At this time, Concubine Shu had already released the five poisonous rats, and the little thing screamed happily and turned into a white light to shoot at the treasures in the woods, the little guy seemed to not know what tiredness was, and moved the treasures in the woods back and forth, and Concubine Shu and Ayinnata were smiling with a smile on their faces to classify the medicinal materials that the five poisonous rats had brought back, and carefully stored them in a jade box.

······

Yuhua Pass is the only border pass facing the Huanhua Wetland in the Yu Kingdom, and its scale is about the same as the Xiameng Pass of the Shang State, but the troops stationed in it are quite different, but if you really want to break in, I am afraid that no force in the Huanhua Wetland can afford such a price.

Fang Lin's group attracted the attention of the border army as early as a long distance, when the group was still five miles away from the pass, the city head sounded a burst of horns, the defenders at the city gate immediately retreated into the city, closed the city gate, and left the long group of civilians who were waiting to enter the city, and were scared and trembling outside the city gate, there are not a few looters who take advantage of the opportunity······

Fang Lin raised his hand to suppress the team, and glanced at Li Haoran, Li Haoran immediately urged the horse to come to the city, and rushed to the city with the true yuan force and shouted: "We are the special envoys of the Great Shang, and we have been appointed by the imperial court to envoy your country, and the existing national credentials are here, please check the general!" ”

Li Haoran was really strong this time, and his voice could be heard clearly within a radius of ten miles, but it did not give people a harsh feeling, and suddenly the panicked crowd under the city quieted down a little, and the crying and noisy sound immediately gradually became smaller.

There was no response from the city, the sergeants were still on guard, but Li Haoran was not in a hurry, and waited for about a cup of tea in the same place before a thick middle-aged male voice came from the city: "Your envoy, please present the national credentials first, and wait for a while." ”

Suddenly, a gap opened in the city gate, and five cavalrymen rushed out of it, and came to a foot in front of Li Haoran to restrain the reins of the horse, and a cavalryman in front of him in the middle threw his hand to Li Haoran and said, "Please hand over the credentials to me." ”

Li Haoran didn't say much, took out a one-foot-sized scroll with black inlaid gold and threw it to the cavalryman, the cavalry took the scroll, and bowed his hand to Li Haoran again: "Your envoy, please wait a moment!" Then he turned his horse and galloped back to the city, and the gate was closed again.

"What do you mean by the rest of the country, let's go through all kinds of hard work to give them gifts and make friends, they are good, they don't let us in behind closed doors, hum make my aunt and grandmother unhappy, put some poison and poison them." Ayinata said disgruntledly.

"Hehe, people didn't do anything wrong, think about it, if you saw a large group of people rushing towards your house, how would you react." Zhang Hang on the side said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Zhang is right, we are 7,000 people, just come to Yuhua Pass, if you want to say that these border troops are not nervous, it is a strange thing, wait, they will let us in." Fang Lin Road.

Ayinata snorted dissatisfied, muttering, "It sounds like my fault." ”

After a short while, the city gate was half-opened again, and a group of cavalry rushed out of it, the first of whom was a man of about thirty years old, wearing a bright silver, purple, and gold helmet, wearing chain armor, burly figure, resolute face, a pair of eyes blazing, a black horse stepping on the clouds, and a bright silver sword about nine feet long hanging on the victory hook, which shimmered a little cold in the sunlight.

came to a place in front of Li Haoran and grabbed the reins of the horse, and the person who came came to Li Haoran hugged his fist and said: "Jiang Ling, the major general of the first division of the first army of the Yuhuaguan Frontier Army of Dayu Kingdom, has seen His Excellency the special envoy of the Great Shang State!" ”

"Li Haoran, the pioneer officer under the special envoy of the Great Shang State, has seen His Excellency the division commander!" Li Haoran replied with a straight face.

Jiang Ling took out the black scroll that Li Haoran had handed out earlier and handed it to a cavalryman beside him, the cavalryman took it with both hands and respectfully handed it back to Li Haoran, who took it with both hands and carefully put it into his arms.

Jiang Ling continued: "After the verification of the credentials, however, for the sake of prudence, we still have some questions that we need to ask His Excellency the Special Envoy in person, and we ask for forgiveness for the rudeness. ”

Li Haoran said: "That's natural, general, please come with me." After speaking, Li Haoran turned his horse's head and ran towards the team first, and the Jiangling team followed closely.

When he came to the front, Jiang Ling rushed to Li Mengyang, who was sitting on a horse and standing proudly in the middle of everyone, solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Jiang Ling, the commander of the First Division of the First Army of the Yuhuaguan Frontier Army of Dayu Kingdom, has seen Your Excellency, the envoy of the Great Shang State!" ”

Li Mengyang smiled and arched his hand casually to Jiangling and said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, I am waiting for you to come from afar, and I hope to enter the customs as soon as possible, so as to meet His Majesty the monarch of your country as soon as possible." ”

"Your Excellency, please forgive me, we still have a few questions to ask Your Excellency the Special Envoy in person, and later our general will personally come to greet Your Excellency, and will also send an army to escort you to the capital!" Gangneung-do.

"Okay, just ask any questions." Li Mengyang's expression remained unchanged.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, about ten years ago, the Black Phoenix Ze incident occurred in your country, when the last general was one of the envoys who were ordered to envoy to your country, at that time, the last general met many of your colleagues, but it seems that he has not seen your envoy, may I ask who your envoy is and what is his current position?" Jiang Ling asked without humility or arrogance.

"Haha, it's true that the general hasn't seen the envoy, but since the general has been to our country, have you heard of the Purple Pole Sect?" Li Mengyang said with a smile.

"Of course, the Purple Pole Sect is the largest sect in the Western Regions of your country, and the last general was unable to visit the four major sects of your country because of official business, which is still a great regret in his life." Gangneung-do.

"Hehe, I am one of the two Supreme Elders of the Purple Pole Sect, Li Mengyang, after the elimination of my country's national competition, I am fortunate to be the envoy of your country this time." Li Mengyang said lightly.

Jiang Ling heard the words and said solemnly: "Please forgive the last general's clumsiness, the second question, the Huanhua Wetland is extremely dangerous and complicated, when the last general went to your country, he lost a lot of people, and now the major bandit forces in the Huanhua Wetland are more powerful and arrogant, and my country has also sent people to try several times, all of which are lost soldiers. ”

When Li Mengyang heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of pain on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Through the Huanhua Wetland, we have experienced dozens of battles, large and small, and lost nearly half of the outstanding disciples in total, and even the core disciples have sacrificed five, even if I almost lost my life." ”

"As for your statement that our army is in good order, it is because we have recruited some of the masters of the forces we have conquered, and later reached an agreement with the big ones to build a trade route at some cost. This is the only way to reach your country, otherwise, I am afraid that we will all die in this Huanhua wetland. Without waiting for Jiang Ling to ask, Li Mengyang continued.

"Co-building a trade route? What does that mean? Jiang Ling wondered.

Li Mengyang smiled and said, "Under the persuasion of us, the major forces of the Huanhua Wetland have decided to jointly open up a safe trade route connecting the surrounding five countries, and they only need to pay a certain fee to pass through safely. ”

Li Mengyang's words surprised Jiang Ling, and at the same time blocked Jiang Ling's next problems, it is obvious that these guys from Shang Guo finally reached some cooperative relationship with the forces of the Huanhua Wetland, so it is not a big deal for them to pass through the Huanhua Wetland, and after a while, Jiang Ling said in a daze: "Your envoy is really a good means." ”

Li Mengyang smiled faintly: "The general may be sure of the identity of us?" ”

Jiang Ling said: "Finally, we ask for a little inspection of these imperial standards brought by you, and please agree to this!" ”

Li Mengyang stroked his beard and made an angry expression, but Wen Yue'er beside him winked at Fang Lin, it turned out that all this had been expected by Fang Lin for a long time, but if you think about it carefully, you six or seven thousand masters appeared at the border of the house so inexplicably, and you also brought a hundred such huge boxes, and they also engraved the Xuanwen Prohibition that isolates the detection of divine thoughts, so how can people not suspect, who knows if you are playing Trojan Horse.

Jiang Ling was a little anxious when he saw Li Mengyang's expression, he couldn't eat it for sure, only by making sure that the contents of the box were indeed as stated in the national letter, they could rest assured that these people would enter the customs, so they immediately pleaded again: "Please Your Excellency the Special Envoy must agree, if the inspection is correct, Jiang Ling is willing to kowtow to the imperial flag of your country to apologize!" ”

Fang Lin saw that the heat was almost over, for a senior officer of the border army, kowtowing to the imperial flag of another country to apologize was already the biggest limit, so he sent a message to Li Mengyang: "Uncle Li, it's okay!" ”

Li Mengyang sighed in embarrassment and said: "Okay, if you don't want to let you see it, you won't let us enter the customs no matter what, but you have to remember your promise, and you must kowtow to our imperial flag afterwards to apologize!" ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Excellency." Jiang Ling said gratefully, and then he carefully inspected the hundred large boxes one by one under the leadership of Fang Lin.

Half an hour later, Jiang Ling inspected all the hundred large boxes, and there was nothing in them except those mouth-watering medicinal herbs, pills, and treasures, and Jiang Ling came to Li Mengyang with an embarrassed face.

"I wonder what the general has discovered?" Li Mengyang asked mockingly.

"No... No, there's no problem with the identity of the envoy at all, that... That... Hehehe. "Gangneung Zhiwu Road.

"The general won't forget what he just said, hehe, come on, please the imperial flag!" Li Mengyang shouted.

A flag bearer held the imperial flag of the Shang Kingdom in front of Jiangling, Jiangling was already full of regret in his heart at this time, and secretly scolded his boss for a bloody head, and finally he gritted his teeth, and his knees were bent to kneel, at this moment, Li Mengyang waved his hand, and a soft force held it, and said with a smile: "The general's words are like a mountain, Li admires, what he said just now is just a joke, the general does not have to worry, but it is a matter of national decency, the general only needs to bow to my imperial flag and apologize." ”

Jiang Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, and at the same time, he was also shocked in his heart, Li Mengyang's skill was probably only comparable to a few people in their remaining countries, he glanced at Li Mengyang gratefully, immediately stood in front of the imperial flag, and bowed to the ground and said: "The last general Jiangling, I solemnly apologize to your country for my recklessness!" ”

Glancing at Li Mengyang gratefully, Jiang Ling turned over and said, "Please follow my mission into the customs!" Then he turned the horse's head and led the way, at this time, a lieutenant general beside him took out a small bamboo tube, and Zhenyuan urged, the bamboo tube let out a long whistle, and flew into the air to explode a red firework.

At the moment when the fireworks exploded, the city gate in the distance was immediately opened, and two thousand cavalry flew out of it, divided into two neat rows of military columns, standing on both sides of the road, a hundred horns sounded endlessly, and fireworks rose into the sky on the top of the city, which seemed to cover the sun's brilliance.

At the gate of the city, a bearded man in his forties, with a golden helmet and golden armor, stood there quietly riding a red flame dragon horse, smiling as Li Mengyang and the others walked slowly, and when they got closer, the big Han arched his hand at Li Mengyang and said loudly: "Yi Feng, the commander of the First Army of the Great Yu State Frontier Army, has seen His Excellency the Great Shang Envoy!" ”

"Haha, General Yi's name is like thunder, I can see it today, Li is fortunate to have three lives." Li Mengyang said.

Originally, Li Mengyang and others wanted to go to the capital of Yuguo immediately, but they couldn't bear the hospitality of Yi Feng and other officers, so they stayed for a day, of course, behind this "hospitality" is also the meaning of reconfirming the identity of Li Mengyang and his party; The next day, Yi Feng sent a thousand-strong brigade to escort the Shang envoys to the capital.

Yu Guo is a plain country, Fang Lin and the others have never seen any tall mountains along the way, at most they are some small hills that are about ten zhang high and cover an area of only more than 100 zhang, and the number is also extremely rare, as for what forests and the like, they can't be seen in Yu Guo at all, and because of this, the rare medicinal materials of Yu Guo are extremely valuable.

"Have you noticed that this Yu Kingdom is somewhat similar to the Yang Kingdom we have visited?" Qu Shan'er rode on the horse and reminisced.

"On the surface, it's really similar, thinking of what happened to us in Yang Kingdom, hehe, I really laughed to death." Bai Lian pursed her lips and smiled.

"Do you remember when we chose horses? Haha, Dongfang Lei, this guy, haha··· I want to choose to step on the snow and explore the clouds, but as a result, people don't buy his account at all, and he also wants to be close to others, as a result, haha··· I was kicked on a big horse, haha..." Li Haoran said with a smile.

Several people couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and Dongfang Lei also said with a smile: "Cut, you guy is embarrassed to say me, what about yourself, the monkey jumped on the back of the horse in a hurry, and as a result, he fell a dog and gnawed on someone's, hehe..."

"Also, there is a big bull, he ······" Originally, Qu Shan'er was also excited to reveal the shortcomings of the big cow, but she suddenly thought of something and swallowed the next words back.

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a long time, Fang Lin smiled and said: "Da Niu is our best brother, these most precious memories with him should not be sealed away, but should be mentioned from time to time, I think he will be happy with us in heaven." ”

"You said that Yang Guo and Yu Guo both look similar, so is there any difference between them?" Wen Yue'er asked at the right time, and sure enough, as soon as her words came out, the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

This time, Jiang Ling, who was walking with them, answered: "Hehe, this girl, the difference between our Yu country and Yang country is very big, Yang country is a grassland country, they mainly rely on animal husbandry, and our Yu country relies on growing grain, you see, there are large areas of farmers on both sides of the road, and my country's annual grain production is much higher than that of several surrounding countries, hehe, now the Yeyue Empire in the south is attacking Wu State, and Wu State's grain is purchased in our Yu country." ”

"Oh? If you support the Wu State in such a different direction, aren't you afraid that the Yeyue Empire will come to trouble your Yu Kingdom? Fang Lin asked.

"Hmph, we Yu people look down on the Yeyue Empire's bullying and commanding style, Li Tianyou is a tyrant, besides, even if we don't support Wu Guo, as long as he frees his hand, he will still come to trouble our Yu Kingdom." Gangneung snorted heavily.

"Then can you tell me how the war is going on in Wu State?" Fang Lin Road.

"Wu is not like our Yu Kingdom, it is a big country, although the national strength is not as good as the Yeyue Empire, but it is not so easy to bully, the two sides have been at war for almost three years, at the beginning, the Yeyue Empire also suffered a big loss, but later the Beitang family joined the battle, and the Wu State was gradually suppressed, but it still failed to break through the border fortress of the Wu State, and now the casualties on both sides are probably more than 500,000." Gangneung-do.

Fang Lin pondered for a moment and said, "500,000 shouldn't be a big casualty for both sides, the battle shouldn't be too fierce, after all, it's been three years, and sometimes a battle can be hundreds of thousands of casualties." ”

"No, the battle is very fierce, there are no ordinary soldiers on both sides, the lowest are all martial artists in the Bagua Realm, and the law cultivation on both sides is counterbalanced by each other, and they have not been able to exert great lethality, and I don't know where Wu Guo got so many law cultivation." Gangneung sighed.

Fang Lin nodded and said, "With Li Tianyou's character, how could he allow Wu Guo to be so arrogant, as long as he orders an all-out attack, I think Wu Guo shouldn't be able to support it for long." ”

"Who knows what he, Li Tianyou, is thinking in his head, but he is attacking eight countries at the same time, I think he can't draw up extra troops for the time being." Gangneung said disdainfully.

Fang Lin didn't answer, he hung his head and looked pensive, but Li Haoran said with a smile: "Do you say that this Li Tianyou is arrogant, even if his Yeyue Empire is really strong, it is not strong enough to attack eight countries at the same time, you must know that the royal family of every country must have at least one strong person in the realm of life and death, if it is urgent, if they come to burn jade, the Yeyue Empire will be enough to drink a pot." ”

Fang Lin didn't answer, but he asked himself over and over again in his heart: "Is Li Tianyou really such a stupid person?" With the strength of the Beitang family and the army of the imperial court, it took three years to break through a fortress in the Wu Kingdom? Could it be that the strength of the Wu State Fortress is stronger than that of the Tiancang Sect? No, this is absolutely impossible, Li Tianyou may be a little arrogant, but he is by no means a stupid person, there may be some reason we don't know about this, it must be like this, it must be ······"

At this moment, Ayinata said impatiently: "Oh, are you bothered, keep talking about those things that are out of our reach, what does it matter to us when people fight, or talk about the fun things you have experienced, especially those troubled things of yours, hehe." ”

Just when everyone was talking and laughing, Jiang Ling excitedly shouted: "Look, the boundary monument in front of you is the boundary of the capital after it, let's just walk half a day's journey to the capital!" ”

······
