Nanzhao, an endless mountain, is connected by countless mountain paths.

According to the records of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Nanzhao people were originally Chiyou's subordinates, and after the defeat of Chiyou, the Nanzhao people moved south five times in order to avoid the pursuit of the Yellow Emperor, and they came to the barren land of Nanzhao to survive.

Lin Ze recognized this statement, because the peerless martial arts God of War catalogue left by Chi You was obtained by him in Nanzhao back then.

Nanzhao is composed of countless villages, each of which exists independently, and they believe in the gods of Nanzhao and obey the orders of the king of Nanzhao and the goddess of Nanzhao.

In addition, the people of each village usually stay in their respective hunting territories, hunt demon beasts, gather wild fruits, or grow some food in the mountains to support their lives, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.

Except for the occasional large-scale "fraternity" with the neighboring villages, more contacts and sources of information rely on merchants.

Merchants were the most powerful means used by the Nanzhao court to control many stockades and to gain profits.

Every year, there are countless branch caravans, starting from the royal court, to each village, bringing the latest edict of the king of Nanzhao, using pills and exercises to purchase the herbs accumulated in each village at a low price.

In order to obtain the best elixirs and secret techniques, the villages had to be exploited by the Nanzhao royal court.

In the hinterland of Nanzhao, on an unknown mountain road, there is a merchant who uses domesticated demon beasts to carry herbs and furs, intending to return to the royal court.

Suddenly, someone in the team pointed to the front and exclaimed, "Chief, there seems to be a person in front." ”

When the merchant leader saw it, there was indeed a man, wearing battle armor, lying on the side of the road.

Judging by the tattered level of the armor, as well as the blood and dust stained on it, it was clear that something bad had happened to this man.

Without any hesitation, the merchant leader directly greeted the two subordinates and said in Nanzhao: "Save people quickly." ”

The two immediately stepped forward, one helped the unconscious man to the ground, and the other checked his injuries.

After a few moments, the man who checked the injuries turned to the caravan leader and said, "Chief, this warrior is not too seriously injured, he should have fainted from exhaustion. ”

When the chief heard this, he took out half a tube of potion from his bosom and threw it over, and said, "Feed him and drink it, find a way to make him wake up, ask him which village he belongs to, and send him back if it is convenient." ”

The man took the potion, pried open the unconscious man's mouth, and poured it in.

The unconscious man was pretended by Lin Ze.

Lin Ze did this, naturally, not to play some boring games, but to create an opportunity to assassinate King Nanzhao.

Although there were all kinds of legitimate reasons, but just retreating like this, Lin Ze always felt empty in his heart, as if something was missing.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Ze finally thought of a very meaningful thing, assassinating King Nanzhao.

At present, Qingyuan still has a period of time to leave the Dao Palace, and it will take a month for the army to go north to the Western Regions.

In addition to the cultivation time, Lin Ze still has a lot of free time, and it is just right to spend some time assassinating King Nanzhao.

There are several major advantages to assassinating the king of Nanzhao, the most direct is that Nanzhao fell into civil strife because of this, and he could not go north for a short time, and Lin Ze did not have to worry about Zhao Tuo repenting.

is also to blame Buddhism and Zhao Tuo.

It just so happened that Zhao Tuo and Buddhism had just calculated Nanzhao, and it was just right to carry this pot.

If King Nanzhao is assassinated at this time, they will naturally be the most suspicious.

Didn't he Zhao Tuo want to get the support of Buddhism alone?

Anyway, everyone used to be a courtier of the Qin State, and Lin Ze planned to help him "kindly", so he should thank him for the cultivation resources he sent.

As for why Lin Ze went to such lengths to pretend to be a Nanzhao man and was rescued by the caravan, it was naturally because the king of Nanzhao was not so easy to be assassinated.

When Daqin attacked Nanzhao for the first time, he arranged for someone to successfully assassinate the king of Nanzhao at that time, and then took advantage of the civil strife in Nanzhao to greatly damage the vitality of Nanzhao.

After the contemporary Nanzhao King succeeded to the throne, he learned a lesson and kept a low profile and remained unassuming, and almost no outsiders were seen except for his confidants.

The degree of mystery is equivalent to what Lin Ze later knows, the celebrity who blew up the Pentagon.

Otherwise, Lin Ze didn't need to be so troublesome, with his Grandmaster realm cultivation, he wanted to kill someone, and no one in Nanzhao could stop him.

Lin Ze, whose face changed drastically, obediently drank the unknown medicinal liquid poured by the Nanzhao man and pretended to wake up.

The man who fed the medicine looked excited and shouted, "Chief, he's awake." ”

The leader of the caravan came over, crouched down, and asked, "Which stockade are you, and why are you here?"

Lin Ze showed excitement on his face, grabbed the leader of the caravan, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Go and tell the king of Nanzhao, the warriors of Nanzhao were killed by Buddhism and Zhao Tuo, and the whole army was wiped out." ”

The caravan leader showed a confused look on his face, he didn't understand what Lin Ze said for a long time, but looking at Lin Ze's appearance and the three words of King Nanzhao, he realized that things were not so simple.

The leader of the caravan had seen some of the world, let Lin Ze grab his arm, and said comfortingly: "This warrior, if you have something to say, what happened to you, you need to alarm King Nanzhao." ”

Lin Ze showed a sad look on his face: "My name is Damuxi, and I am a golden-feathered warrior from the Tiger Village, who was ordered by the King of Nanzhao to attack the feuding Qin people. ”

"At first, the goddess led us to win several battles, killed many Qin people, and occupied large areas of fertile land. ”

Later, the Qin people sent a lot of people over, among them there was a very terrifying strong man, and the strong man collapsed and cracked between his gestures. ”

"The goddess knew that she would be invincible, so she led us to retreat, intending to return to Nanzhao. But for some reason, he suddenly stopped at Hongyan Mountain and didn't leave. ”

"Three days ago, the Qin people finally killed us, and that terrifying powerhouse directly attacked and destroyed our defenses, and we were defeated and retreated, and hundreds of thousands of warriors escaped with few lives. ”

"At the critical moment, the goddess asked me to rush back, and I must tell King Nanzhao that all this is a conspiracy of Buddhism and Zhao Tuo, so King Nanzhao must be careful. ”

The leader of the caravan finally understood what Lin Ze meant, and the warrior in front of him was actually the warrior recruited by the king of Nanzhao to attack the Qin people, and listening to what he said, Nanzhao was defeated, and few of the 500,000 warriors survived.

Of course, the leader of the caravan couldn't accept this result, but he grabbed Lin Ze in disbelief and said, "The goddess has been defeated? This is impossible, are you lying, right? How could the goddess be defeated? How could the 500,000 warriors of Nanzhao lose?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Lin Ze's eyes, and he pretended to be sad on his face: "God doesn't bless me Nanzhao, 500,000 Nanzhao warriors, there are many auspicious ones." ”

The leader of the caravan let go of Lin Ze, as if he had been struck by lightning, he was stunned on the spot, his face was like ashes, and he muttered: "500,000 Nanzhao warriors, have you been defeated?"

Lin Ze hissed: "The goddess has told me, not to mention that the 500,000 warriors have been defeated, if I don't notify the king of Nanzhao as soon as possible to prevent Buddhism and Zhao Tuo, my Nanzhao will destroy the country and extinct the species." ”

"I was ordered by the goddess to travel desperately for three days and three nights, just to come back and report to King Nanzhao. It's a pity that he was overworked and fainted on the side of the road, but fortunately he was rescued by the leader. ”

"Please give me some food and water, I will continue on my journey, if I unfortunately die on the road, please the leader may not pass the news to King Nanzhao. ”

After speaking, Lin Ze struggled to get up.

The leader of the caravan hurriedly supported Lin Ze, and said with a resolute face: "This warrior, your loyalty and affection, the gods will be proud, don't worry, I am just going back to the royal court, I can take you with me." ”

Lin Ze didn't think about it, and directly refused: "No, it's too slow to go with you, I have to inform King Nanzhao quickly." ”

The leader of the caravan glanced at his caravan and said decisively: "Half of the livestock is free, I will take this warrior back to the royal court as soon as possible, and you go back slowly." ”

Then the leader of the caravan said to Lin Ze with a sincere face: "Don't worry, warrior, I will never delay your important affairs, you and I will ride back on livestock immediately." ”

In Nanzhao, domesticated demon beasts are uniformly called livestock.

A look of emotion appeared on Lin Ze's face: "Thank you, Chief." ”

Then Lin Ze and the leader of the caravan, riding a demon beast alone, with water and food, rushed towards Nanzhao.
