Chapter Ninety-One: See Six Toes Again
At this time, Lin Fengjin didn't want to stay in this place longer, and after finding that the local tyrant Jin had completely absorbed the soul of the leech cultivated by Gongde, he knew that he couldn't get any oil and water.
However, before leaving, the wolf who was in charge of searching for the corpse found a very strange thing, so he asked Lin Fengjin to come and see it, and after Lin Fengjin saw it, he suddenly gasped.
It turns out that the toe of Gongde's right foot is also an extra one! In other words, he is also a six-toed person!
Lin Fengjin has been dealing with the mysterious six-toed organization for a long time, this six-toed organization acts mysteriously and secretively, and it seems to have a connection with the Wa Snake God, but after careful investigation, he found that this organization is also inseparable from it, and the criteria for their absorption of members, and the purpose of their organization are completely a mystery.
This six-toed organization has not appeared in Lin Fengjin's sight for a long time, but he didn't expect to kill one of them by mistake today.
According to the past experience, Lin Fengjin carefully pinched every toe of Gong De's corpse, found his fake toe, and after pulling it out, he found that there was no note or information in it, but a poison pill hidden, the medicinal properties of this poison pill can be said to be extraordinarily violent, once it is taken, it is almost incurable, even if it is lucky to be saved, the sequelae must be very strict.
After there were no other discoveries, Lin Fengjin also went against the current and quickly left. However, the official road built in the Qingtang Mountains was also built along the river, so along the way, there were also several groups of pursuers who caught up from behind.
Fortunately, Lin Fengjin was in the dark, but the pursuers were in the light, and the rumbling hooves made Lin Fengjin on guard more than ten miles away, and the river was close at hand, so he jumped into the river and swam for a few miles before going ashore. Then there is no way to track the smell mastiff that is good at tracking in the Dragon Descending Pass, so every time it is avoided in advance, it can be said that there is no danger or danger.
And Qin went to be more cautious this time, Lin Fengjin found that after this guy escaped, he simply rushed into the mountains. According to his supernatural powers and skills, in this vast poor mountain and bad water, he can find a random place to hide and enter the fetal state, which is not only to recuperate from the injury but also to delay time, if you want to find it out, it is useless for the army to search the mountains in this poor mountain and bad water.
After a day of hurrying, Lin Fengjin found that he should be dead in the Dragon Descending Pass, so he didn't send anyone out again. At this time, I also met one or two groups of people on the road who were heading towards the Dragon Descending Pass, all of whom were selling goods on the grassland, and they were bartering to make a lot of money, these people were all on strict alert, even if Lin Feng was alone, the eyes that looked at him were also very vigilant.
Lin Fengjin was also not concerned about himself, stepped forward, bought two good horses in their caravan at double the price, and rode them in turn. It only took one day and one night to walk out of this vast mountain, and in front of me was the grassland where the grass grew and the warbler flew, and the horse was flat.
This is the most beautiful time of the year on the prairie. The lush grass is rapidly budding, the small yellow and white flowers are blooming secretly, and there is a fresh breath rippling in the air, under the blue sky and white clouds. The cattle and sheep are greedily munching on the rich and juicy grass, the shepherd man is roaring rough pastoral songs with his thorny voice, and the shepherd dog is grabbing and fluttering the butterflies with great interest.
Lin Fengjin still took out his signature scholarly outfit. The difference is that he rides a horse, while the bookcase is carried on another horse, and the clothes of Xirong's scholars are not wide robes and big sleeves, which are quite similar to the costumes of Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu in the pre-Qin era, fortunately, the belts and turbans are quite elegant, which are very different from the clothes of ordinary people, and they are very recognizable.
Although the grassland is beautiful, but it is also full of attacks and killings, Lin Fengjin rode his horse on the grassland just walked out of thirty or forty miles, and was surrounded by dozens of horses dressed in tatters and shouting, these herdsmen with extraordinary combat power are selected warriors, their duty is to ride horses around their own tribal territory on the grassland to patrol, and when they encounter a strong enemy, they will warn, and the weak ones will naturally rob.
When these herdsmen originally surrounded Lin Fengjin, their eyes flashed with the greedy and cruel light of a wild wolf, but when their eyes saw Lin Fengjin's clothes and the bookcase on the back of another horse, that gaze gradually faded, and it was obviously replaced by respect. Immediately afterwards, an elderly herdsman jumped off his horse, put his hand on his chest, and sang loudly:
"Distant guest, where did you come from? ”
"Immortal Heaven has sent you here, so please perch like a magpie in the sky for one night!"
“”
Although Lin Fengjin is already the actual controller of Sanlibu, but this is Xirong, thousands of miles away from the place where Sanlibu lives, and it is definitely not the same ethnic customs living on the grassland, it is rare for this tribe to show goodwill, so Lin Fengjin, who was originally strictly guarded, was stunned for a moment, and accepted their kindness, because to be honest, he didn't sleep for a day and a night, and the two horses under his crotch were about to reach the limit.
After coming to the station of this tribe, Lin Fengjin experienced the hospitality of the grassland people, he repeated again in front of the patriarch whose beard was about to turn white that he came to Xirong to find the red scorpion, and then took out some small gifts from the bookcase to give, these small gifts are not valuable, such as needle and thread, fire knives and flints for ignition, and iron finger guards, but they are things that are scarce on the grassland, and they are very popular to give away. It's almost a jack-and-do-all.
With a good start to communication, the next thing is naturally that the guests and hosts are happy, Lin Fengjin didn't have much effort to get three good horses, and then got a warm and comfortable tent, it is worth mentioning that Lin Fengjin's scholarly temperament seems to be very popular with the grassland girls, but the grassland women who wanted to come to drill Lin Fengjin's tent to "borrow seeds" that night almost reached double digits, and Lin Fengjin, who was unbearable, could only get into the tent of the patriarch's house with a bitter face before stopping.
Next, Lin Fengjin's life on the grassland almost repeated similar experiences, the difference is that those big tribes often like to ask Lin Fengjin for books, but fortunately, these books brought by Lin Fengjin are also completely used to make soy sauce, and there is nothing like a unique book in it, and it is not heartbreaking to send it. And after these large tribes took the book, they often religiously placed it on the shrine to pay tribute. It can be seen that it is actually very cherished.
Eight days later, Lin Fengjin had already come to the important town of Xirong, Haoshuichuan.
This is already the border between the grassland and the hills, why this place is called an important town, that is because the local salt pond can be said to be very famous, the local production of salt has more than a dozen kinds, divided into white salt, black salt, green salt, Hu salt, soft salt. Red salt, barge salt, stinky salt, purslane salt, Hu salt, etc., can be said to be a major source of wealth for Xirong.
Among these salts, white salt and black salt can be said to be table salt, and the rest are used for medicine, and only here can be produced, so although the output is not high, what is sold every year can be sold for a large price, which is not less profitable than ordinary salt.
Lin Fengjin came to Haoshuichuan. But he had to find someone first, and from here, he was going to enter the hinterland of Xirong, and the investigation was bound to be very strict. After all, he is a wanted person on Xirong's side, and with the cooperation of this person, this trip is like a leisurely stroll.
The person Lin Feng was looking for was none other than Pang Qi, one of the three gentlemen who was personally captured by him in the Battle of Yaocheng.
These three men were trying to stay alive. It can be said that he wrote a letter of great rebellion, and he had a full handle in Lin Fengjin's hand, and Lin Fengjin went to him at this time. Just ask him to do a small favor with his hands, I believe that this person will not be so strong that he will immediately turn his face and die with himself.
This good water river is in the sphere of influence of the Pang family.
In the past year or two, Pang Guifei has been very favored in the palace, and of course the Pang family will not give up the fat of Haoshuichuan, so they will take advantage of it, and the sphere of influence has been extended here, and they have stepped in.
After Lin Fengjin came here, he directly found the Pang family's shop, and then showed the token according to the agreement with Pang Qi, and suddenly, the shopkeeper's expression and attitude were immediately different, and there was a flattering smile on his face, and he directly invited Lin Fengjin to sit down inside, and also served a cup of tea.
After probably only two bags of cigarettes, I saw Pang Qi walking in with a sad face, and barely squeezed out a smile and said:
"Brother Lin hasn't been here recently, why did Yaxing suddenly come to our Xirong, a place with poor mountains and bad waters, to visit?"
Lin Fengjin naturally knew what these guys were afraid of, and said with a smile:
"You wish I had died sooner, long story short, straight to the point, rest assured, I didn't have the leisure to come here to play, but this time I was entrusted to come here to get a few things, and I left when I got it ready. ”
Pang Qi listened to Lin Fengjin's answer, obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said:
"I don't know what Lin Gongzi is looking for, can I help?"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"I will first go to meet the servants, then go to Yanzhi Mountain, and finally enter Kunlun, I heard that the Xirong road is rugged and difficult, so all the matters on the way, please Pang Gongzi. ”
Pang Qi relaxed even more, patted his chest and said:
"This is naturally a trivial matter, so it's good to wrap it up on me. However, once you pass Yanzhi Mountain, it will be very remote and desolate, Brother Lin, you have to make sure that nothing goes wrong, so it is best to inform Tu Zhangao. ”
This Pang family can be said to be covering the sky in the Xirong Kingdom at this time, and Lin Fengjin's request is not too much, so Pang Qi can pat his chest like this and promise, and then he accompanies Lin Fengjin to visit the local salt lake salt mine, and take a look at the legendary salt pit that produces nine kinds of salt, these very rare scenery is really amazing, and sighs the magic of nature's creation.
The next qiē eating, drinking, and Lazar didn't need to be paid attention to by Lin Feng, and even the wild boars waiting over there to prepare for the rendezvous were picked up by special people, and they were respectfully called the pig masters.
However, although everything is ready, there is still one thing that makes Lin Fengjin a little worried, that is, if he goes to Yanzhi Mountain this time, the Jincheng Tent, the national capital of Xirong, is a must-pass place.
In the early years, Xijon was formed by the union of thirteen large tribes, so the Jincheng tent where its leader was located would also migrate with the flourishing of water and grass, and there was no fixed residence all year round. However, when Xirong officially established the state and completed the transformation from nomadic to semi-sedentary life, the station of Jincheng Tent was fixed, most of the herdsmen turned into yeoman farmers, and most of the surrounding land became cultivated land, and only a small part of the most fertile pasture remained.
After Lin Fengjin met the wild boar, he suddenly had such a strong reinforcement, and he also had one more basis in his heart, and the wild boar revisited the old place. Thinking of the past and present lives, I am also doubly embarrassed. Along the way, this Xirong gives people the feeling that the martial style is extremely prosperous, everywhere you can see the warriors wearing swords and bows walking, that is, the merchants on the road, and there are many guards accompanying them, this country is prevalent in martial arts, no wonder it is located in the middle of nowhere, and it can also be among the five countries.
This time, he walked on the official road of Xijon in a grand manner. Naturally, it is twice the result with half the effort, following the caravan of the Pang family, it is more than 1,100 miles from Haoshuichuan to Jincheng, but it only takes four days. Along the way, Lin Fengjin can be regarded as seeing the domineering of the Pang family, passing through the checkpoint, arbitrarily cutting the queue and adding stops, there are no taboos. Even some tax collectors who wanted to come to see the goods were whipped on the ground and howled miserably.
Of course, this kind of thing is not unusual for Lin Fengjin. Relying on power and domineering everywhere, even in the Northern Qi Kingdom, it is not uncommon, and as for what laws and regulations are not in Lin Feng's consideration.
The only thing he was worried about was that this Xirong was also the foundation of the Legalist family, and at this time, there was a brilliant Han Zi among the Legalists, who unified the originally divided Legalists, and these people of the Pang family did too much, once the people of the Legalists were introduced, it would be difficult for them to hide their whereabouts.
Fortunately, the people of the Pang family also seem to know how to be restrained, and they are much more disciplined when they are one or two hundred miles away from the Jincheng Tent, and after arriving here, large and large stretches of straight birch forests stand on both sides of the official road, standing like sentinels, which is magnificent.
Before going to bed, Lin Fengjin found a few birch trees, cut a few knives on the surface of its bark, and then used a bamboo pipe to bear it below, and the next morning you can have fresh and delicious birch sap to drink, especially fragrant, the people next to them were dumbfounded, they have never tried to do this, but after tasting it, they all feel fresh and sweet, so they have to learn from each other, even the steward is very curious, so this group of guards tossed.
When these people were in a hurry, they suddenly heard a bell ringing in the official road behind them, followed by a red-clothed knight galloping by, and holding a flag high, on which was written a word that Lin Fengjin did not recognize.
Immediately after less than half a cigarette, there was a sound of "woo woo" in the distance, that is, three red knights galloped past, these three red knights have horns around their waists, the three of them galloped, and someone blew the trumpet, this person is tired of blowing and will replace the next one, be sure to ensure that the horn will not be interrupted.
When the merchants on the side of the road heard this sound, they all ran away and dodged aside, Lin Fengjin saw this situation and couldn't help but wonder:
"Is this a noble person on patrol? What a big show?"
The wild boar looked at it for a while and said:
"The three envoys opened the way, the idlers avoided, the one who came to the Jincheng tent was either the king of the southern courtyard or the king of the northern courtyard, it was really a little strange, the current Xirong monarch Han Ling was very taboo against the kings of the two courtyards, how could he let them come to the Jincheng tent?"
After listening to the wild boar's words, the Pang family's manager who traveled this time interjected:
"The Queen Mother Shengshou, Han Li, the king of the North Courtyard, is the third son, and he is coming. ”
Lin Fengjin also had an understanding of the domestic situation in Xirong, knowing that the current monarch Han Ling was not born to the current queen mother, but by chance, he got the support of the seven major tribes to ascend to the throne of the monarch, and as a compromise, the two sons of the queen mother held the two very important positions of the king of the southern courtyard and the king of the northern courtyard.
To tell the truth, Han Ling can be regarded as a generation of heroes, when he first ascended the throne, everyone felt that he was a product of compromise and could only be regarded as a puppet.
In this case, as long as he takes a wrong step, he is likely to lose everything, but he is not only imprisoned for the position of the monarch, Xirong is full of aggression in his hands, attacking the Eastern Xia, disturbing the Northern Qi, Kou Zhongtang!
At this time, it is the seventy birthday of the Empress Dowager Xirong, and it is said that life is rare for seventy years, although with the respect of the Empress Dowager, it can be said that there is no shortage of panacea, but the Empress Dowager's health has not been good, and the number of life expectancy is limited.
As soon as this most important pillar falls, even if the king of the Southern Courtyard and the king of the Northern Courtyard join forces, it is estimated that they will not be Han Ling's opponents.
Therefore, this time the Queen Mother's birthday should actually be a very important turning point in Xirong's country, it can be said that the wind is surging, the team should stand, and the people who should take precautions are all active, of course, Lin Fengjin is not too interested in this matter, but he heard people talk about another thing, that is, the Queen Mother's Shengshou is also a certain popularity effect, in order to congratulate the old queen mother, whether the entire Xirong country really wants to make her live a long life or wants her to burp in the next second, you have to prepare a thick congratulatory gift。
This birthday gift is a rare opportunity to please the boss justifiably, that is, when the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, they can show their faces at this birthday feast, and they will have to be prosperous.
Life in the world is nothing more than eating and drinking, so this time, it is said that Prime Minister Zuo took off the wood and did everything possible to invite the successor of Master Cai, the head of the imperial dining room of the David Dynasty, to coordinate and schedule, so that the queen mother could be promoted to a higher level and experience the birthday of the imperial queen mother.
However, the right prime minister Meng Chunlai was not to be outdone, and he visited the Ku Ding family, and invited the descendants of the legendary Yi Ya to show their skills.
You must know that whether it is Master Cai or Yi Ya's descendants, they all belong to the kind of masters who see the head and the tail, and if they usually want to meet them, then Lin Fengjin has to rely on great luck, but today he can find two people at the same time in the Jincheng Tent, which is really gratifying.
Lin Fengjin didn't forget that he was stuck on the last level of the Seven Chong Gate. If you can succeed here, why bother the son of the owner.
After the car of the king of the southern courtyard was over, a cadre returned to the road, saying that this was the first time Lin Fengjin came to the Jincheng tent, and when he approached the capital for twenty miles, he had already seen many peculiar houses, these houses were quite similar to the style of Tianzhu Kingdom, with heavy gold color edges, and delicate architectural lines, but the characteristics of the houses were combined with the characteristics of the Han blue brick houses and tents, which looked very exotic.
When the car passed through a place called Huizhao Slope, you can see a series of white buildings stretching in the distance, along the slope and ridge next to it, these white buildings are boxy, angular and angular, but the roof ridge of the building is not the common tile carving such as the owl's kiss, and all are the genus of eagle vultures, all of which are the image of flapping wings and flying, which makes people look sideways.
On the largest building, there are statues of gods and Buddhas worshipping them, all of which are painted with gold dust, which can be said to be very eye-catching.
When the wild boar saw Lin Fengjin's expression, he whispered to Lin Fengjin:
"Master, this is the residence of the Great Patriarch Yuan Hao, the Great Northern Residence Sect. Here and Jincheng Tent one south and one north, each other is the inside and outside, both in terms of strategic value and feng shui, are complementary. (To be continued......)
