The northern border of the Southern Tang Kingdom is also the northernmost place in the entire Nanyue, which is much more prosperous than the southern border of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Due to the border with the Tang Dynasty, the business and tourism here are extremely prosperous, the pedestrians are mixed, the trade is smooth, and the scenery is pleasant, it is a prosperous and wealthy place.

It is also a land of strife, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers stationed to maintain order. As the northern border pass of Nanyue, there was the military oppression of the Tang Dynasty in the north, and Xianting sent the army of the Six Kingdoms to guard it to prevent the invasion of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the Southern Tang Dynasty is one of the six countries of Nanyue, the Tang Dynasty will not blatantly invade because of the Nanyue Immortal Court. However, the border area has always been chaotic, gathering people from all walks of life, and there are countless disputes. It is likely that because of some things, the Tang Dynasty found an excuse to invade the south. And this kind of thing has happened many times in the history of the Southern Tang Kingdom.

After all, the Southern Tang Dynasty was the territory of a prince of the Tang Dynasty a long time ago, and later, for some reason, the territory was included in Nanyue, and the Tang Dynasty naturally would not give up easily. Therefore, over the years, he has often found some excuses to send troops to the Southern Tang Dynasty. And although the Nanyue Immortal Court was at its peak and ruled over thousands of mountains and rivers in the Six Kingdoms, its strength could not be compared with that of the Tang Dynasty, so there was nothing to do about the other party.

In short, the history and location of the Southern Tang Kingdom are quite embarrassing, and there have always been many wars. Compared to the other countries of Nanyue, it is much more chaotic. Moreover, its strength is not as strong as that of the Tang Dynasty, how can it resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty? Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed here are the army assembled by the Immortal Court to gather the combat power of the six countries. The commander of the three armies is a strong man in the Immortal Court!

It is worth mentioning that compared with the northern border pass of Nanyue, the southern border pass of Nanyue is even more dangerous, and there are millions of soldiers and horses stationed here all year round. Because the southern border pass is a barren sea! The cults and alien races of the southern wilderness often cross the barren sea to invade Nanyue, and even reach the Middle Earth. The fighting here is much more dangerous and tense than in Beiguan. In the event of a major war, even the Middle-earth dynasty will rush to help.

The strife between the Middle-earth dynasty and the nations of the world was, in any case, a war within Middle-earth. If it is upgraded to the Northern Wilderness Barbarian Clan and the Southern Wilderness many cults and alien races, it will be a real battle in the Great Domain. The Second Wilderness has been eyeing the fertile land of Middle-earth and the many blessed lands with amazing aura suitable for cultivation, and has coveted them for an unknown number of years.

The main significance of Nanyue's existence is to guard the southern border of Middle-earth and prevent the invasion of the Southern Wilderness.

......

Gu Li and his entourage traveled by land and water, and walked for more than 20 days, all the way across the land of the two states of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and arrived at the northern border of the Southern Tang Dynasty near the end of October, that is, the border of Nanyue.

A group of four people, riding a horse on the official road, the autumn wind swept away the dead leaves of the two roads, which has the meaning of gloom. The mountains on both sides are also yellow and cold, and they have long been as vigorous as in spring or summer.

Gu Li looked at the withered fallen leaves and thought a lot. He went down to the mountain in early summer, but in the blink of an eye it was late autumn. It was a surprise. And he has experienced a lot during this time. Now I don't know what happened to the teacher and Zhu Yan.

Luo Yi was also in a good mood, and stretched out on the jade horse, revealing her charming curves. She was also a little emotional. On the same day, he and a group of attendants went to Nanchu to explore the relics of immortals, and all the attendants died at the hands of Zhu Yan Demon, only he was rescued by Gu Li, who had just come down the mountain, and then embarked on the journey back to Baidi City, and also got acquainted with Mu Shen and Cen Yao, and after a few months, he finally came to the Nanyue border pass.

After crossing here, they arrived at the territory of the Tang Dynasty, one step closer to the White Emperor City. It's just that after all this time, Grandpa and Father didn't even send anyone to look for her! They already knew that their squire was dead. It seems that this is a deliberate attempt to return to White Emperor City alone.

Luo Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this, and said in his heart: "Don't worry, grandpa, father, this time, I will return to White Emperor City on my own." At the same time, Luo Yi also felt very lucky to have three companions to accompany her all the way. Take care of each other on the road and don't feel lonely and helpless. Like the Sunset Mountains, which are really close to being finished. It was the little donkey who saved a few of them. If you are alone, it will be extremely difficult to return.

Could it be that grandpa and father have already calculated this point before they can rest assured that they will embark on the journey home alone?

Similarly, Mu Shen and Cen Yao were both quite emotional, thinking about their master and homeland. There was an indescribable emotion in my heart. But when they see the people around them, there is a kind of warmth and peace of mind, which is worth relying on, and makes them confident.

"Now that you're about to leave the Southern Tang Dynasty, Luo Yi, have you bought a map of the Tang Dynasty?" Gu Li asked softly. Looking at the girl beside him, I could smell the faint fragrance on her body, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility.

"Nope. Luo Yi shook his head. These three guys really think she is her own food, clothing, housing and transportation planner. "But there's a border city in front of us, and we can buy a map of Datang when we get there. However, it is unlikely that there will be a map of the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty. At most, it's just a state. After all, the land of Datang is enough to be comparable to the country of Nanyue. We don't need to rush, we just buy as we go. ”

"Good!" Mu Shen smiled and nodded, still looking cynical and light-hearted. Causing the other three to laugh, this guy's personality is peculiar. But they had all seen Mu Shen's face when he was in the Sunset Mountains that day. I know that when you look at this guy, you must not judge him by looking at the surface or by his momentary performance.

In short, this little Taoist priest is a bit complicated.

"Anyway, how far are you from breaking the realm?" Luo Yi asked Mu Shen angrily, if he could advance to the Four Realms, he would be able to truly grasp the power of some of the Earth Yuan magic weapons in his hands, which would be more secure for them. However, Mu Shen's little donkey Shenyuan dissipated, otherwise they could definitely walk sideways, and they didn't have to worry about the danger of the road at all.

"It's going to be soon, at the end of the year at most, it will definitely break through. Mu Shen smiled. He himself was a little excited, and when he reached the Four Realms, he would not be so passive. The cultivation of the lower three realms is really impossible to go far.

"I feel that my improvement has been more obvious during this period of time, and I am about to achieve a great success. Gu Li smiled, more pleased. During this time, his practice was very fast. And the main reason is due to the mountains and rivers in the sea of qi. Condensing the power of mountains and rivers to refine his physical body, the effect is amazing. Only then was he able to make the Huang Ting realm a great success. Similarly, he did not fall behind in the practice of "Participation in the Deed" and swordsmanship.

It's just that at present, Gu Li doesn't have a swordsmanship to practice, and he really sets foot in swordsmanship. But this thing is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to practice after breaking through to the Lotus Realm.

"Well, it's better to try to break through to the Three Realms as soon as possible. Luo Yi was also happy for Gu Li. When I first met, he was just a master of the Yuan Chu Realm. The uplift in these months has been amazing enough.

"But Brother Gu, your qualifications are good, why are you only in the Huang Ting Realm, logically speaking, you shouldn't be worse than us?" Mu Shen asked the doubts in his heart. During this period of time, they have all seen Gu Li's performance, and he is definitely first-class qualification and understanding. But Xiuwei is still a small success in Huang Tingjing.

"I don't know. Gu Li smiled bitterly. Can he say that he used to practice in Yunshen and didn't know where he was, and he didn't enter the realm again for a few years after he reached the Yuan Chu Realm Dacheng? Even he couldn't figure it out. The teacher didn't explain much either.

——

chatted like this until the evening, and the four of them did not stop. Continue your journey through the night. Many small villages on the path sit quietly in the mountains on both sides of the official road, emitting some sporadic candlelight.

On the afternoon of the second day, they arrived at a small border town. It's not big, but it's not small. But the number of people is huge. The prosperity of commerce is not weaker than some big cities. It was quite noisy with all kinds of people.

But the most striking thing is the rows of ironclad heavy soldiers on the city walls, as well as the gun-wielding infantry soldiers patrolling the streets back and forth. Responsible for the safety of the city and guarding the border. This is the norm in the Nanyue border pass. It was also the first time Gu Li had seen a military force of this scale. Even if he was in Gangneung City before, Nanyang City and Surabaya City had never been seen. It can be seen that this place is still quite different from the interior of Nanyue.

There are many cultivators in the small city, but I don't know if there are any strong ones. And the most conspicuous thing is the various shops and restaurants and other business things. And the pedestrians on the street are all dressed differently. It can be roughly divided into two main streams.

One of them is familiar with Gu Li, which is the mainstream clothing of Nanyue, while the other is relatively unfamiliar. The cloth is exquisite, and it is made of silk brocade or silk satin with various bright colors. The shape of the garment is mostly a round-necked half-sleeved robe. There is also a scarf with a crane crown, and the shirt group is long, gorgeous and elegant.

"It's a peculiar style of clothing. It looks like a rich family. Gu Li said in surprise.

"Giggles, this is a Tang costume, which is naturally different from Nanyue's costume. I used to wear Tang costumes. This is the border between Nanyue and the Tang Dynasty, and there are naturally many Tang people. And most of them are businessmen. ”

"I see. In this way, there is still a big difference in the customs and habits of each place. ”

"Pretty much. However, the Tang people are the most important of the major dynasties in Middle-earth, the style of Tang costumes is unique and comprehensive, the crown clothes are rich and gorgeous, and the makeup is strange and varied, which is world-famous. This was much more prosperous than the other dynasties of Middle-earth. And the customs of the Tang people are still elegant, and they are extremely particular about clothing, food, housing and transportation. It is rumored that it is also the dynasty that is most abundant in the world for beauties and scholars. There are "sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers" and "three hundred Tang poems, one hundred articles". ”

"Oh? In this way, Datang is quite interesting. Mu Shen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the light was scorching. Luo Yi and Cen Yao handed over a roll of their eyes. A little Taoist, how can he think so much.

Then they went to a restaurant to experience the food of Datang and fell in love with it. The various cakes, rice, fish and skewers here are very delicious, Gu Li has never seen them before! Cen Yao was also praised. seems to have fallen in love with Datang all of a sudden. Mu Shen not to mention, his mouth was full of oil, and he didn't forget to say in an envious and regretful tone: "I really wish I was a Tang person." ”

"This little bit of food attracts you? When you get to Datang, I'm afraid you'll be happy and don't want to return to the East China Sea. Luo Yi smiled.

"If I could, I could consider staying a few more years! "Mu Shen tasted the food and lost his mind.

"Poof!"

"Brother Gu, don't laugh, let's laugh at fifty steps and laugh at one hundred steps. Mu Shen said with a smile while sending something to his mouth: "It's better for you to take some time to study a few Datang food recipes in the future." In the future, I will taste your cooking skills for my brother, and there is no progress. ”

"That makes sense. The food is delicious. Gu Li nodded. Let Luo Yi and Cen Yao's two daughters be speechless. These two guys are completely foodies who can give up their ambitions for the sake of food.
