Chapter 247: Looking North is a Long Way to Return

Meng Yu didn't know about the big battle in the rear, otherwise the brother and sister would recognize each other, and it would save a lot of troubles and troubles.

At a young age, Meng Yu always had all kinds of unrealistic fantasies in his heart, hoping that he would return to Meng Ji and his second brother after he could achieve success in his cultivation.

Otherwise, with her understanding of Meng Wei, there is a high probability that she will not be entrusted with important tasks, and she can only be a quiet lady when she goes home.

This kind of life is not what she yearns for, she likes to stick to her second brother since she was a child, and her little heart has long endured a large amount of information like waves, and she is addicted to the Datong world described by her second brother, a beautiful "utopia".

If she couldn't help her second brother, why did she accept Huanglong Zhenren's request to cultivate the legendary Dao magic power that can move mountains and reclaim the sea after attaining the Tao.

With something on his mind, Meng Yu followed behind Yang Jian, passed Jizhou, and went all the way south to Caozhou and Chaoge.

In recent years, wars have occurred frequently, and the winter has become more and more difficult, but the Asaga-region is fine, the world is peaceful, and the country and the people are thriving.

Leaving the scope of Chaoge City, the population of the major city-states has declined to varying degrees, especially many people who can't survive have also begun to fall into the grass and swing their knives at the weaker.

Yang Jian's four people, a young man, two teenagers and a girl, plus the mountain bandits who were also wearing Taoist robes and moved their brains a little bit all held back the greed in their hearts.

Such a combination, just looking spotless, clean and tidy dress, is enough for them to look away, these years, can live alone in the world with "burden", either can't afford to provoke or deliberately set him up.

So, after deliberately avoiding the towns and the places where the crowds gathered, the journey along the way was quite comfortable.

Stop and go, walk to the foot of Wuling Mountain, a few people can walk out of the border between Hexi and Jizhou, and see the fireworks in the territory of Chaoge again.

Compared with the tight atmosphere of the Zhou State and Northern Xinjiang in the war preparations, the atmosphere of Wuling Mountain was much softer, and many peddlers and pawns were talking in the restaurant, chatting about the most popular dispute between Law and Confucianism, and from time to time there were outer disciples of the Wuling Immortal Sect who went down the mountain to purchase some food and materials, and when they heard some interesting anecdotes in the restaurant, they would also stop and listen carefully, occasionally showing an expression of indignation or satisfaction.

"It seems that the King of Shang is still a very virtuous monarch, you look at the peaceful life atmosphere revealed in this derivation, this is the merit of benevolent government and virtuous governance!"

Jin Zha likes this kind of comfortable and peaceful atmosphere very much, usually there is no war in Chentang Pass, and the military and civilians are also so comfortable.

Perhaps because his voice was not hidden, the elderly farmer who was picking up green vegetables and fruits on the side couldn't help but stop, pointed at Jin Zhe and scolded angrily.

"Where did the little doll come from, I don't have any knowledge at all, what does this have to do with the group of jackals, tigers and leopards in Chaoge City, this is all the credit of our Meng Ji's uncle."

Jin Zha was stunned, there were still some impulses in the young man's personality, and he immediately couldn't help but want to ridicule him.

Yang Jian's speed of adapting to the mundane is very fast, and he has begun to surpass several junior brothers and sisters in the world, and he dragged Jin Zha back, and politely asked the old farmer for advice: "Dare to ask the old man, this place is a big business realm, why should you miss Meng Ji who is far away in the north?" ”

"You young man is polite, for the sake of you outsiders, it's no wonder that you don't understand."

"If it weren't for Meng Bohou's improvement of improved seeds, the invention of fertilizer methods and new farm tools, I don't know how many people will freeze to death in the heavy snow every winter, have you heard that Meng Ji and Zhou Guo in the north are now fighting bloodily?"

"Ten years ago, it was still the period of the reign of Emperor Yi, the Zhou State broke through the Sanshan Pass, and before it reached Jizhou, we poor people were counted as one, and we were captured and forced to serve as military rations, and I don't know how many people died in battle and starved."

As he spoke, the old farmer seemed to feel a little nostalgic for the past, and when he looked around, he saw that no one noticed their conversation, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to the market with some fruits and vegetables produced by his own family.

Leaving the four little disciples in the same place, their thoughts flowing.

Several people looked at each other speechlessly, looking around these small mountain towns and watching Baiwei life.

When he walked near the north gate, he saw two "beggars" in rags, who persuaded the soldiers guarding the city with bitter words, as if they wanted to get out of the city.

"There is no nameplate Lu Yin, I won't arrest you two as Hanako, and take them to the slave camp to work as coolies, which is already a great gift, and you two still want to get out of the city? It's a beautiful idea. ”

"Master Bing, you raise your noble hand, my uncle and nephew were stolen halfway, isn't this a loss of all the certificates, you just let the two of us out, and when we go back to our hometown in the future, I will definitely bring a lot of money to thank you in the mountain city!"

These two people are Qianyin and Ji Dan, who fled from Chaoge City overnight in the past.

Qian Yin looked at the Daoist of the Misty Spirit Immortal Sect lying high above the flowing clouds with jealousy, and retreated with Ji Dan with some indignation.

"You said you, you don't have a plan at all, you hurriedly said that you can run, let you soar through the clouds, you can still have no mana, now it's okay, trapped in this foggy mountain city, I, Ji Dan, have lived so much, and it's the first time I've been driven away as a beggar, it's a shame!!"

Qianyin was a little annoyed, stared at the immature young man in front of him and said angrily: "Dao Master, I am naturally not a problem alone, isn't this still going to take you?" I'm just a casual cultivator, alchemy, I'm good at setting up magic arrays, and I won't be hunted down and killed before, so what kind of escape art do I have nothing to do? ”

"His mother, since I followed Meng Wei, I was hungry for nine meals in three days, either farming or beating, the old Taoist priest I was born with him, I didn't get involved at all, and I didn't suffer at all."

"Then you can't go back to Meng Ji?"

"Of course I want to go back, I haven't enjoyed it yet, I won't go out again when I go back this time, I stay at home every day and don't do anything, just let Meng Wei send me materials and refine my pill with peace of mind."

The two of them could only look at the unsympathetic soldiers at the gate of the city and sigh, saying that, they didn't dare to take out their nameplates to go out of the city, but they were afraid that as soon as they showed their identities, this group of comfortable big-headed soldiers would immediately take them down and send them back to Chaoge City to ask for merit and reward.

Yang Jian, who was smart-eyed, frowned, he didn't expect to meet Meng Ji's people here, and it seemed that he was still two wanted criminals.

It seems that Meng Ji and Chaoge still have more identities, listening to the two of them began to complain about some changes in Chaoge again, Yang Jian greeted a few junior brothers and sisters, followed the two quietly, and listened to the information he wanted all the way.

"Alas, in fact, you don't have to act so fiercely, I am already operating the matter of returning to Meng Ji, next time the Dao Leader has any sudden movements, please remind me, this is better than catching me off guard."

"Huh? Aren't you ready to settle down in Asaka? Why do you want to lay out the operation back? And you didn't tell me about the layout of this matter? ”

Ji Dan rolled his eyes, and his heart was full of grievances and resentment: "You don't attract my attention in the open, how can I operate, but I don't know who set up such a game for you, and I was stillborn directly before many calculations began." ”

"When the lord was singing, I felt that the king at that time was still relatively virtuous, since the death of Chonghou Xue and the return of the lord to the north, the king seems to have changed a person, indulging in the gentle township of the two demon girls, not thinking of progress, and having a moody personality, which is not the performance that the Ming monarch should have."

"You know, my situation is very special, if the king has always been as virtuous as the lord in the court, we can indeed do a lot of things in the court, the lord is not there, the ministers in the royal court are in charge, Fei Zhong Youhun is doing a great job, although the prime minister treats me well, but after all, I have the double brand of Zhou Guo and Meng Ji, and the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe."

Qianyin didn't understand this, and he never paid attention to these power-hungry court affairs, he just felt that staying in the court was depressing and unhappy.

Chaoge is not as easy as Meng Ji, there are many words everywhere, it seems that everyone does everything with a certain purpose of interest, but Meng Ji is much simpler, everyone has only one goal, to build a homeland and make contributions.

The two hid in a dark alley, and they were a little worried for a while.

"It's useless to say this, I have a good idea, although this city is small, there are merchants passing by on weekdays, and when Meng Ji's merchants pass by, I can ask for their help, but it really doesn't work, it is better to hide directly in the ox cart than to keep whispering and begging for help."

Qianyin's eyes lit up, and he excitedly gave Ji Dan a thumbs up.

It's not really good to say whether he will break the rules of neutrality for the two of them, Meng Ji's businessman seems to be a little unique, cohesive, and has the courage to devote his family wealth to his family and country.

Danger is danger, there are many ways to do business, maybe there is no need to hide, as long as they find the right relationship and open two temporary road guides, they can go home.

Meng Yu, who was hiding on the side, looked at Yang Jian with blank eyes, and stopped talking a little.

They have basically determined the identities of the two, one is known as a farmer and belongs to the special talent of improving the variety of grains, and the other is the most important young son of Meng Bohou.

Yang Jian touched Meng Yu's head, the little girl stiffened for a moment, and then accepted the care of the senior brother aggrievedly.

"It doesn't sound like it's so safe to go to the song, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, you two are proficient in earth walking techniques, I will attract the attention of the city at the south gate later, take this opportunity, you take these two people out of the city, and escort them all the way back to Mengji."

"As for the little junior sister...... After the wind and waves are calm, you will take the opportunity to go out of the city as a person from my Yuxu Palace, and I will wait for you outside the city. ”

Yang Jian looked at the two junior brothers, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, Jin Zha and Mu Zha naturally had no opinion, but felt a little relieved that they didn't have to go to Chaoge.

They basically didn't have a choice, although Li Jing was the guard general of the big merchant Chen Tang, but he had a good relationship with Meng Bohou, and the third brother Nezha, who was born, even called him his father, how could they join other forces in such a relationship?

I really want to go to Chaoge, but I get a lot of trouble for myself.

After instructing the follow-up matters, Yang Jian looked to the southwest, where was Chaoge City, and he really wanted to see what kind of power struggle Ji Dan and Nongdao people were talking about.

In the first half of his life in the mountains, he was in contact with the mountains and rivers, the smoke and rain, it was rare to go down the mountain, he wanted to appreciate the beautiful things, and he also wanted to see the bad things.

In this world, good or bad always has the value of his existence, Master Yuding often said, not only the number of life, but also the heart is particularly important, to listen and see more, and taste the good and evil in life, so that it can be called a practice.
