"It's getting late, let's find an inn to stay in first, and then set off for Mincheng tomorrow." ”

"Listen to Your Highness's arrangement. ”

Jiuxi and Qinsang found an inn, asked the guy for some good feed to feed the horses, ordered a few side dishes, and found a window seat in the lobby to sit down.

Nanya Mountain is the border of the Tianyuan Dynasty, connecting Qihui in the south, and it is also the only place to go to the Qian Kingdom. Therefore, although this is the boundary of the Tianyuan Dynasty, there are many people in Qiming and Qianguo.

On the table diagonally opposite them, there were a few people from the Qian Kingdom.

The people of the southern water and soil raised people, whether it was the people of the Qiming or Qian Kingdoms, there were still obvious differences in body size from the people of the Tianyuan Dynasty in the north. Men like the Tianyuan Dynasty are relatively tall, and the general height of the daughter's family is generally higher than that of the south. In addition, the eyes of the people of the Tianyuan Dynasty are all black and straight, while the eyes of the people of Qiming and Qian Kingdom are all light brown and curly.

However, the Jinguo people who moved their capital from the north to the south were an exception.

At this time, on the table diagonally opposite, there were several middle-aged men with curly hair wrapped in a square scarf on their foreheads, drinking wine and eating meat.

"Tomorrow, we will sell the goods and make money, and we will also go to the prosperous and wealthy capital of Tian Yuan to see the world and enjoy happiness!" said the bearded man.

"Brother, are you going to stay here in the future?" said a man dressed in a navy blue robe.

"Now that the situation in the south is turbulent, what my brother said is not unreasonable. People live in the world, not for glory and wealth, but for the peace of the world. The man with a pair of red phoenix eyes said.

"Alas, if I am still here, how can I wait to fall to such a state, swinging my tail on the territory of another country and begging for mercy!" said the bearded man angrily.

"Shh......h Brother said cautiously, my Jinguo has been destroyed for many years. Even the most heroic and mighty regent of the year and the ghost and ghost knight under his seat have been hidden for many years. Shui Tsing Yi said.

"Speaking of the Ghost Shadow Cavalry, it is the most fierce and brave iron cavalry in my Dajin Kingdom, but it has been so many years, and the group of Ghost Shadow Cavalry that followed the regent back then must have gray temples now. Things are not people!" Dan Feng said.

"The third brother doesn't know that this ghost shadow is hereditary under the regent's throne, and they are all trained from infants, and the best one is chosen. The group that followed the regent is old, but a new generation should have been produced. Shui Tsing Yi said.

"In recent years, the country of Qian has been prevalent in the country of rogues, if the regent has the heart and sends the ghost shadow to suppress it a little, we will not come to this foreign country to ask for a living. The bearded man said.

"That's it, don't mention this sad thing, my brother drinks wine and eats meat, and there will be a good life for my three brothers in the future!" Shui Qingyi comforted.

After the table was full of wine and food and returned to the room to rest, Jiuxi and Qin Sang glanced at each other and said softly, "I didn't expect that Qian Guo had already mixed up to this point." It seems that it will be annexed by Qiming sooner or later. ”

"Not necessarily. Your Highness doesn't want to help the Qian Kingdom?"

"What's in it for me, what's in it for the Tianyuan Dynasty?" asked Jiuxi with an eyebrow.

"Now that the north and south of the mainland are facing each other, the three kingdoms of Qianguo, Qiming and Tianyuan Dynasty are still in a balanced situation. If Qiming annexes the Qian Kingdom to increase its own national strength, and then contends with Tian Yuan, it will definitely cause a bloody battle, and it must not be the situation His Highness wants to see. ”

"Not to mention that Qiming has the Seven Star Pavilion in the royal family to fan the flames, if Qiming really annexes the Qian Kingdom, the world will definitely fall into a predicament. ”

"What the gentleman said is good, but what good advice do you have?"

Qin Sang smiled, drank the wine in front of him, and frowned, "Sir, this disciple of the Buddha Tu sect, and the disciple of the Buddha sect are only one word apart, don't you have to abide by the rules and fast?"

"As I said below, my lord has not bound his disciples to abide by the rules and precepts. It's okay to marry a wife and have children, it's okay to eat meat and drink alcohol, and you don't even have to shave. Buddha Tu is one word different from Buddha, but it is very different. The disciples of the Buddha Tu only need to keep the path in their hearts, eliminate evil deeds, and do not fall into the evil path, that is, they will not practice in vain. There are also many people who want to stir up trouble and make trouble in this red dust officialdom."

Jiuxi nodded, "If that's the case, I would like to worship the Buddha Buddha as well." Otherwise, if you come to the world to do too much evil, you are afraid that your soul will fall into hell and float after returning to your body. ”

His Highness laughed and got down to business. His Royal Highness only let Zai Xia complete one test, and he had already said that he would subdue the Ghost Shadow Cavalry, but now he will let Zai go down to solve the dilemma of the Qian Kingdom?"

Jiuxi Zhengse said, "Sir's words are wrong, if Mr. passes the test and comes under my command, I will still expect Mr. to give advice." With the talent of a gentleman, he must have a good idea of how to pass my test. Now I'm just borrowing my husband's power in advance. ”

A clever remark made the self-proclaimed son of Qiansang have nothing to say.

"That being the case, it is to obey the command. ”

......

Early the next morning, Jiuxi and Qinsang left the inn and rushed to Mincheng. Before he left Nanya Mountain, he saw a pair of people chasing after him.

Jiuxi subconsciously touched his face, the human/leather mask was still there, and he looked at Qin Sang again, and he still had that plain face. So he tugged at Qin Sang's sleeve, "Sir, this is not coming to us, is it?" ”

Qin Sang glanced at his pulled sleeve, "I don't know, Your Highness is at ease, wait and see what happens." ”

Seeing that the group was getting closer and closer to them, they finally stopped nearby. Jiuxi looked at it intently, and the leader was dyeing.

Sure enough, he came to find her.

I just don't know how I found it.

Dai Ran got off the horse, walked quickly to Jiuxi, presented a jewelry box with both hands, and said, "Your Highness, Your Holiness is back." This is a gift from him to you, and let his subordinates pass it on to you. ”

Jiuxi took the jewelry box and opened it, and there was a crimson streamer bracelet inside, and I don't know what kind of gemstone it was made of, but it was very good-looking.

She played with the bracelet on her left wrist, the right size of the chain, and it happened to cover the light scratch on her wrist. Jiuxi said, "Master has a heart, thank Master for me." What else did he say?"

His Holiness didn't say anything else, but was just worried about His Highness's safety, so he asked His Highness to return to Beijing as soon as possible after having fun outside. ”

"I know, let Master rest assured, I will definitely return to Beijing to see him as soon as possible. ”

After the agent dye finished explaining, he left with the team, and Jiuxi and they also turned around and went on the road.

Qin Sang noticed that there was a line of sight staring behind him, and he looked intently, and there were two secret guards who had followed Dai Ran not far away. No wonder the Black Hawk who had been following them a few days ago was gone. Qin Sang didn't say anything, and continued to follow Jiuxi on the road.

Riding all the way to the southeast, they encountered a large number of fleeing refugees on the way, all of whom had come out of the country of Qian. When passing through his Yanling, he happened to meet a group of rogues on a narrow road.

The terrain of his Yanling is steep, and it is too late for Jiuxi and Qinsang to turn around and go back now. Seeing that the group of rogues was riding their horses in their direction, the two of them looked at each other and dismounted.

The other party's intentions are unknown, and besides, there are many people, so it is better not to have a conflict.

Most of these fleeing refugees had seen the evil deeds of the rogues, and when they saw a large number of them rushing towards them, they all gave way, begging in their hearts that they only happened to pass by at this time.

Perhaps begging in their hearts had played a role, the rogue rode their horses north as if they had not noticed them, and soon they could only hear the noisy hooves of the horses, and they were nowhere to be seen.

Everyone exhaled.

Jiuxi led the horse and walked over to the woman who was holding the child and whispered comfort.

"This lady, is the child okay? Are you frightened? I still have some dry food here to take to the child." ”

The woman who was comforting the child looked up and saw that it was a beautiful girl, dressed very well, not like the people of their country.

Seeing that the other party had no malicious intent, it was true that they had escaped for so many days and had not eaten a few mouthfuls of dry food, and the adults could still hold on, and the children were still hungry. immediately did not refuse, and took it and thanked him in a low voice.

The child, who was sobbing quietly, stopped crying when he saw that there was dry food. His mother removed the paper wrapped around for him, and when she saw that it was a piece of oil cake, she immediately ate it in a big gulp. After a few bites, I remembered that my mother gave him all the delicious food along the way, and I didn't eat a few bites, so I quickly asked my mother to eat a few bites.

The woman smiled and shook her head, and pushed the bread that had been handed to her lips to the child's mouth, "Eat it, my mother is not hungry." ”

Seeing this, Jiuxi took out another piece from his arms, handed it over, and the woman was embarrassed to accept it, Jiuxi said, "The road is still far away, keep it for food." ”

When the woman heard this, she thanked her again and again.

"Auntie, my brother and I are from the north, and we want to visit relatives in Qianguo, seeing that you are dressed like Qianguo, why do you want to leave your hometown?

The woman shook her head and sighed, "The girl doesn't know, our Qian country has been in decline in recent years, and it has been suppressed a lot by Qiming, who sends troops to attack Qian every year, and Qian is defeated every year, ceding the city to pay tribute treasures, and those tribute treasures are looted from the people. In the past few years, many people have complained, and some of the uprisings have even fallen into the grass, and the people are miserable, and we really can't survive, otherwise who wants to leave their homeland?"

Jiuxi frowned and said, "Originally, the Qian Kingdom annexed the Jin Kingdom and was considered to be powerful, how could it be suppressed by Qi Ming to this point?"

"Alas, the royal family is not virtuous, it angers the gods, and it brings disaster to my country, and it is ...... sin," said an old man who was in a hurry next to him, listening to their conversation.

"Girl, if you want to visit your relatives, you can slow it down, there are still a few mountains from his Yanling to Jinguo, and many rogues occupy the mountains as kings, you must pay attention to safety. ”

When the rogues saw that they had fled, they were all depressed and shabby, and they had not much property, so they let them go, but they were merciless to the caravans and pedestrians who went to the country of Qian, killing people and goods. The girl had a good heart, and the woman did not want to see her being bullied by the rogue, so she persuaded her.

"Don't worry, auntie, I'll discuss it with my brother, otherwise I'll turn around and go back first. Jiuxi said soothingly.

The woman nodded and led the child away. They also had to get to their next place to rest before dark.

"Sir, do you know why those rogues are heading north?"

Qin Sang glanced at the refugees around him, "I can't eat here, so I naturally have to go north to find something to eat." ”

There are so many refugees, and I don't know what the situation is in Qianguo.

"If I Tianyuan sends troops, how about capturing the Qian Kingdom in one fell swoop?" Rather than letting Qiming take advantage, their Tianyuan Dynasty might as well take the lead.

"If Qiming wants to attack and build, he will take it down, maybe Qian Country still has the forces they are afraid of, so they can only eat it step by step. Let's go to Qianguo first." Ching Sang Road.

The two men got on their horses and ran south.
