"Knowing that the Taoist chief is going to Jiankang, the national capital, the letter records that Hu is a familiar acquaintance in the court. If you encounter something, you can ask him for help. After hearing the inquiry, Hu Jushi opened his mouth to explain.

"Master Hu has a heart. ”

Sima Wenzhi was slightly stunned after hearing this, and reacted after a few breaths. As he spoke, he picked up the letter from the package and put it in his arms, placing it with the one before him.

Hu Jushi deliberately asked two days ago where he was going in the future. Therefore, Sima asked about going to Wei, and he should have known.

Now that he knows, there are still mistakes in his words, and it should be his intention. Most of the old knowledge recorded in the letters is not in Jiankang, but in Pingcheng, the capital of Wei.

As for the reason for this, it should be the same as the Xu County Order.

Although Hu Jushi brought all the henchmen in a hurry, the people's hearts were unpredictable. If someone deliberately embarrasses someone because of this incident, it is not alarmist to be in prison and have your family ruined.

After Hu Jushi and the others left, Sima Wenzhi took out the letter and checked it. Sure enough, the person mentioned in it was in the capital of Wei. He hadn't heard of this person's name, but his official position surprised him.

Continuing north, it didn't take long for Sima Wenzhi to find a hidden place. After entering, he took off his robe and took out his ordinary clothes from the package and changed them into.

The clothes were also given by Hu Jushi.

In addition to introducing old acquaintances in the letter, Hu Jushi also explained other things. One of them was to instruct him to discard his robe and replace it with ordinary clothes.

As to why this was done, the letter did not make it clear. However, the words of the confession were extremely earnest, and Sima did not feel disgusted after asking it, so he acted according to the instructions, and then hurried on the road.

After two days of rapid travel, he finally arrived at the border of the Song Kingdom. From a distance, you can see the land of Wei.

More than 100 years ago, Sima Wenzhi's ancestors launched the Gaopingling Rebellion and obtained the territory of Wei. More than ten years later, he leveled Sun Wu and led the Jiangdong lands.

At its peak, the territory of the Jin Kingdom was merged with the state in the north and connected with the Northern Xiongnu. South Vietnam, up to the extreme south seas.

It's just that after Shizu, the Sima clan did not have great talent, and the land was gradually lost. By the time of Zhongzong's Zhongxing and Jin Dynasty, most of the northern territory had ceased to exist.

Since the rise of the Jin Dynasty, although there have been conquests in the south of Shenzhou. But compared to the north, it is much more comfortable and rich.

For more than 100 years, wars have broken out in the northern part of Shenzhou, and dozens of large and small forces have successively hung up the name of the country, all of which regard themselves as the orthodoxy of imperial power. However, most of them were short-lived, and they disappeared without too many teenage months.

Until the eleventh year of Emperor Liezong of the Jin Kingdom, the Tuoba clan took the opportunity to divide the Qin State and establish a dynasty in the north. After more than ten years, the Dai State became the Wei State.

After more than 20 years, the Jin dynasty declined and the Liu Song dynasty rose.

Therefore, if we talk about the origin, the Wei State is older than the Song State.

Although the country name is the same, the Wei state at this time is not related to the previous Cao Wei. If you want to forcibly implicate you, Tuoba Wei's territory overlaps with Cao Wei at this time.

However, unlike the Song state, which inherited the territory of the Jin dynasty, the territory of the Wei state originated from conquest.

For decades, Wei continued to fight wars, and gradually gained the momentum of unifying the north. Only the Xia Kingdom and Rouran forces are still lingering.

When they could see Wei from afar, Sima Wenzhi and Langya stopped and stopped moving forward. I was thinking of finding a place with high mountains and dense forests, and doing some planning while resting.

After searching for a long time, I didn't find the dense forest.

In order to guard against homeless people and fine work, the forest was cut down within a few miles of the junction of the Song and Wei dynasties. He could only find a low-lying place to sit low.

Not far away, there are tree stumps left behind after the trees were cut down. The incision is relatively new and has not been eroded by much wind and rain.

As you can see, a few months ago, this was not the border between the two countries. It should be that not long ago, the Wei State advanced northward again, and the Song State was forced to move south.

Where is the specific border between the two countries, Sima asked and didn't care. At the moment, all he was thinking about was where he was going to go after crossing the border.

After walking out of Gaoping County, you can enter Wei from the slip platform and Chen Liu. Both places are important passes of Wei, and after passing, you can go to the hinterland of Wei.

But after passing through the pass, the Wei land to go to is not the same.

If you take the slipway, you can go all the way to the north and go straight to Weiduping City. The old acquaintance recommended by Hu Jushi is an official in Pingcheng, and after going there, there is no need to worry about sleeping on the streets.

If you take Chenliu, you will go east after passing. At the junction of Song and Wei, the territory of Wei is slightly narrower from east to west, and after a few days of walking, you will enter the Xia Kingdom.

According to Sima Wen's original intention, although Wei Duping City was more than a thousand miles away, it was a place he must go.

After the failure of the assassination of the Emperor of the Song State, he understood that it was difficult to do it by one person. If you want to borrow strength, Wei is the best choice. The only one in the world who can compete with the Liu clan is the Tuoba clan.

But after thinking about it, Sima Wenzhi decided to take Chen Liu.

After crossing Chenliu, all the way east, you will pass through the southern region of Dahe, until the land of Henan County, Luoyang is among them.

The people of Shenzhou all regard themselves as Chinese orthodoxy. Huaxia originated in Yuxia, and the capital of the country was in Hanoi and Luoyang.

Such a holy place fascinated him.

Moreover, when he just thought of Luoyang, he remembered that the person recommended by Fang Yu in the letter of the county order was also there.

After dark, Sima Wenzhi walked towards the border pass between the two countries. As he walked, he began to condense his breath around his body, until he reached a no-man's land, lifted his breath and flew up, jumping outside.

The astringent breath is not useless, from leaping to falling, there is no sound.

As soon as it landed, Langya also jumped up from the inside.

But for some reason, she was not very stable when she landed, and she staggered and fell out. When I fell out, I felt pain and made a whining sound.

The silence of the night, the whining of the guards was noticed, and they asked not far away. Seeing this, Sima Wenzhi was helpless and began to cast an invisibility spell.

After a dozen breaths, the guard who had just opened his mouth to ask arrived, and the stealth spell was also completed, and the guard only saw a wild wolf running into the distance. Although he felt unusual, he didn't see anyone else, and the guard scolded and turned to leave.

About an hour later, when the stealth was about to lose its effectiveness, Sima Wenzhi took the initiative to appear and attract the spirit again.

Not far ahead, there is a checkpoint on the Wei side.

The lesson of the previous car has not been forgotten, he no longer sneaks in, but instead casts illusions, and walks directly in front of Wei Bing with Langya.

Then go straight to the southwest, without stopping.

Before dawn, I finally saw the outline of the city in the distance.

Although Chenliu is also a county system, unlike Jiankang, Chenliu is not a city, but is composed of several small counties. What Sima Wenzhi saw was the county seat of Junyi, which was governed by Chenliu County.

It was still early, and the gates had not yet been opened. He walked forward with Langya, and soon chose a place to stop and rest.

The chosen place is not far from the city gate. It is not noticeable, but it is possible to see what is going on there.

The hour is about to pass, and the sky is bright.

There are more and more people in the surrounding open space, waiting for the city gate to open, and they are busy working for a living.
