"Ning Gongzi, can't you let me count some big things?"

Shen Youchu was obviously not satisfied with this simple question.

Ning Wuxiao had no intention of changing, and looked at the gossip bag with a smile.

There must be something else in it.

Sure enough.

At his insistence, Shen Youchu once again took out a large handful of yarrow from the cloth bag.

"This is called yarrow, which is specially used to count hexagrams, a total of fifty."

Shen Youchu said as he took out one from the middle, stuffed it into Ning Wuxian's hand, and asked him to take it.

Then divide the remaining forty-nine yarrow sticks in half from the middle, one in each hand.

She took out another one from her right hand, put it between her little fingers, put it on the tablecloth, and began to count the yarrow in her left hand with four sticks, and took out the remaining ones that could not make up enough for four, and counted them on her left hand and then on her right hand.

This goes back and forth three times, and after counting the remaining root number and dividing it by four, write down the number obtained.

"Seventy-six-seven, seven-six-seven...... Away from the middle fire, it will become dry, ah, this fog will not completely disappear until almost noon, when the sun is at its maximum, but it will slowly subside, and the carriage will go faster after a while, Ning Gongzi, you be careful, don't bump to the wound. ”

Shen Youchu said very firmly.

Despite her age, she has a sense of unconditional trust in her eyes.

Ning Wuxian immediately understood why Huashi had to let her be her apprentice.

He was about to tease Shen Youchu and ask her if she would be miscalculated.

But seeing that Shen Youchu had already gathered all the yarrow that had been separated just now, he also pulled back the one that had been given to him, and asked with great interest.

"Do you want anything else?"

"For example, the career path."

"And marriage or something."

When the word "marriage" was mentioned, Shen Youchu's eyes became shining, and he looked very much looking forward to it, which made Ning Wuxian laugh.

Want to count his marriage?

What if he is not satisfied?

"Marriage is destined by heaven, I don't count."

"Sort of, sort of."

Shen Youchu is coquettish, which is irresistible.

However, Ning Wuxian was a principled person and decisively changed the topic.

"Why don't you help me calculate how many people in the Western Regions are waiting in the capital to challenge me."

"Okay."

Although Shen Youchu was still not satisfied with this question.

But it's about Ning Gongzi, not letting her count the weather.

She took out a yarrow again and stuffed it into Ning Gongzi's hand, reverently recited the question that needed to be divined, and parted the yarrow again.

Outside, the fog gradually dissipated as the sun rose.

A large number of vehicles are heading west.

Hundreds of miles away.

Herds of horses were galloping across the wilderness, galloping eastward.

Most of the legations in the Western Regions were born on horseback, and for them, horseback was like another home.

Beidi National Teacher is no exception.

Today is sunny and the temperature is rising, which is just the right time for autumn to run horses and hunt.

Even after entering the Yumen Pass, Daxing is close to the Western Regions, and there are still large areas of wasteland.

On the wasteland, dozens of miles apart, there are scattered villages and people, and these people from the Western Regions who have been restrained for a long time because of the hurry, they rode their horses and galloped wildly.

The shouts of excitement and the mournful screams of the prey are intertwined, as a national teacher of Beidi, he has a divine existence in the eyes of others, and naturally cannot participate in the fun of ordinary people.

Fortunately.

Just looking at the Beidi people, galloping in the Daxing wilderness without any scruples, the Beidi National Master felt pleasing to the eye, and he didn't care too much about whether he could participate in it.

"Chirp!"

The high-pitched call of the goshawk in the air attracted the attention of many people.

Beidi Guoshi stretched out his arm, and the special embroidery reflected the dazzling light, causing the goshawk in the air to stop circling and land on the pattern of his arm accurately.

Everyone was not surprised by this scene.

The people of Beidi all know that this goshawk was trained by their national teacher from a young age, and it was specially used by the national teacher to transmit messages.

In addition to this goshawk, there is also a hawk that is specially used to transmit messages.

This goshawk can fly more than a thousand miles a day, faster than a thousand miles.

It is with the help of such convenient communication efficiency that the national teacher can be well aware of the major changes in Daxing.

Beidi Guoshi took out a piece of jerky from his cuff and stuffed it into the eagle's mouth, and while the goshawk swallowed the meat, he raised his left paw and asked him to remove the letterbox tied to it.

After untying the letterbox, Beidi Guoshi gently tapped the goshawk's head, and it fluttered its wings and continued to hover over the head of Beidi Guoshi, refusing to leave.

In the eyes of others, this is because the Beidi National Master is shrouded in divine light, which will attract the goshawk and prevent it from leaving.

But only Beidi Guoshi himself knows that it is because of his discipline that the goshawk does not dare to leave.

Open the letter box and pull out a roll of stationery.

It uses the special text of the Beidi people to write the changes in Jing'an City in the past two days.

This includes, but is not limited to, the punishment of Emperor Daxing for the courtiers who smuggled envoys from the Western Regions to the gate of the Yuguan, as well as the punishment of the Jin Wangfu and the imperial merchant Qiao's family.

At last.

It was the news that he asked the spies who were originally in Daxing to pay attention to.

It was transmitted from Luohe Road to Jing'an City, and then to him.

How it should have been.

But when he saw the news he was concerned about, in addition to the secret agents who specially collected it, the king of Jin also told Descanado, and he understood in his heart how worried this Jin prince was that he would not be able to fulfill the covenant and let Ning Wuxian accept the punishment of heaven.

After reading the content of the message, Beidi Guoshi tore up the letter paper and spilled it into the river beach not far away along the direction of the wind, but his indifferent expression did not change.

"Master Hua has retired to Jiangnan Province, but he still has to join in this excitement for Ning Wuxian, I was worried that there is such a god in Daxing to protect the country, and when he goes out to fight, he will be enlightened, this time, just together with Ning Wuxian, he will also be sent on the road."

Beidi Guoshi has naturally heard of Hua Yi's famous name, and also knows that Hua Yi's skills are strong.

It's just that!

Hua Yi is good at deduction, even if he has an internal breath protection body, he can't resist his unique secret science - Heavenly Punishment Divine Technique!

"Everything is under control."

Beidi Guoshi looked eagerly to the east.

Gyeongan Castle.

It's in front of you!

Another hundred miles onward.

Daxing finally sent officials to approach, and the wasteland became a city for thirty miles and a state for a hundred miles.

Even the most remote state capital is still more prosperous and lively than the royal city of any Western Regions country, and those talents who come to the competition are like dirt buns entering the city.

In order to avoid their embarrassment when they arrived in Jing'an City, Beidi Guoshi deliberately let them stay in the state capital for a day, claiming to the officials who came to receive Daxing that they were tired of traveling.

The Daxing officials in charge of the reception naturally did not urge them to leave, and even took out fine wine, food, and warm hospitality.

It's a pity.

The people of the Western Regions who have always been good at wine, no one dared to drink too much.

When the stop was over, the horses galloped on the official road, deliberately leaving behind the officials in charge of reception, showing their superb riding skills.

Less than two days.

From the westernmost part of Kannai Road, he arrived at Jing'an Castle, which was 400 miles away.

Walking on the official road leading to Jing'an City, the caravans coming and going are like weaving, even if many students who are accustomed to seeing prosperity along the way, they are still shocked by the majestic city wall and passers-by wearing exquisite costumes.

Seeing their reactions, the Daxing officials, who had eaten Mawei soil for several days, were finally able to raise their eyebrows and gesture to the city five miles away.

"Guiyuan National Teacher, the front is the west gate of the capital, the day before yesterday we handed over the urgent play and Your Majesty, such a big event, even if Your Majesty does not come to greet you in person today, you will definitely send someone to pick up the wind and wash the dust for everyone, by the way to the guests who come from afar, show me Daxing's hospitality."

Daxing's hospitality?

Beidi Guoshi looked into the distance with great interest.

I vaguely seemed to see a group of brown horses standing outside the West City Gate.
