CHAPTER XIII

The patriarch quickly gathered the people together, and it was no longer the high priest who stood on the boulder, but the five foreigners.

"Everyone, the dark faith that has enveloped us is gone, and now we are going to welcome a new future! It was these five foreigners who helped us and swept away the haze above our heads, and I have thanked these five young heroes on behalf of the whole clan!" the patriarch burst into tears halfway through his words.

"Thank you, five young heroes!" this voice of thanks crossed the empty mountain, climbed over the mountain and saw the light of day.

"Everyone! Raiding the house is not a long-term solution, if you are willing, I am willing to introduce you to the teacher, and let you be the guardian saint of this Meridian Valley! Defend this lifeline for the imperial court and for my Shu Kingdom!" Fan Shijin was also full of emotion.

"Thank you Fan Daxia, give me a chance to reform myself!" the patriarch held Fan Shijin's hand while touching his tears.

"This banquet is to thank these benevolent fathers for their kindness to recreate! Everyone will eat and drink well before setting off!" the patriarch immediately added.

"Patriarch, we are entrusted by the imperial court to send envoys to the Northern Zhou and Southern Tang countries from the Shu Kingdom... I never wanted to be delayed in Meridian Valley for so many days... Hey" Fan Shijin raised his glass and was just about to drink together, and sighed when he thought that his heavy responsibility had not yet been completed.

"Fan Daxia, but you want to go to Chang'an through my Meridian Valley?" asked the patriarch.

"Exactly! The road to Meridian Valley is difficult, it originally took ten days, and it will be estimated that it will take half a month...", Fan Envoy sighed again.

"Hahaha! Fan Daxia is not worried! I have been in the Meridian Valley for many years, and I have already opened up a secret passage, the road is smooth and no one knows, and I can get out of this valley in less than five days!" the patriarch patted Fan Envoy on the shoulder and laughed.

"Oh, please accept me..."Fan Shijin was overjoyed when he heard the news.

"Engong, please get up! Hurry up!" the patriarch hurriedly pulled Fan Shijin up.

Liu Congtong Baixiyue grabbed the chicken leg and nibbled it with relish, while the bear envoy drank the wine thoughtfully by himself, and Wen Renxing lay down casually, chewing barbecue and holding the wine jug in his hand.

"Brother Wenren, the marriage of the next two daughters?" the patriarch asked as he walked up to Wen Renxing's side.

At this time, Liu Cong, Bai Xiyue, Fan Shijin, and Xiong Jingchong all pretended to be calm and eavesdropped.

"Patriarch, this is a farce in itself, so why take it seriously?" Wen Renxing got up and sat up and said.

"Xianggong, how can you not want a little girl?" the eldest daughter ran over with tears in her eyes.

"Stop her!" the patriarch hurriedly shouted.

Several big men hugged the legs of the eldest daughter, and the eldest daughter had no choice but to give up, frowning, and running away with tears, and several big men at her feet were also thrown away. The patriarch wiped the sweat from his forehead, and almost lost his kindness.

"Don't you even want a little girl?" The clear spring in the eyes of the second daughter Closed Moon had already burst the embankment, and Chu Chu's pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.

"Good daughter, Daddy loves you!"

"Get out, I just need to be a husband!"

"I don't want a daddy before I get married, woo woo..."

"I never thought that this sister is a black-bellied person, and she usually bullies her sister when she looks at it!" Liu blurted out from holding the chicken leg.

"Little ghost! no, you must be gentle and dignified in front of the princess!" Closed Yue just wanted to have a seizure, but after thinking about it, she still didn't scold Liu Cong.

"The two women are still looking for another man, and they only like the strong in the next place!" Wen Renxing said with a sip of wine.

"Isn't my sister strong? Could it be that Gongzi is a habit of breaking sleeves?!" said Shu Yue in exclamation by raising her hand to cover half of her face.

"Girl, your sister is very strong, but she is a little worse than me. Wen Renxing turned his head to look at the closed moon.

"I hate it! Why is Childe staring at people so directly!" Closed Moon was seen by Wen Renxing, his cheeks flushed, and the flowers in the peach forest bloomed.

"I can !! I can !! below!! I can raise you!!" Bai Xiyue couldn't stand it, jumped up and shouted at the sky, and was knocked unconscious by the patriarch with a punch before he could shout a few words.

"Daddy scared his daughter to death, where did the madman come from! Closed Moon immediately grabbed the patriarch's hand and said.

"Someone has thrown this madman to feed the beasts!Ahh

"Patriarch, I am willing to do it for Brother Wenren!" I saw Xiong Jingyu find a pool at some point, sink his head into the water and raise it again, shaking the hair on his head, and looking at his second daughter charmingly.

"Daddy, this crazy man again!" Closed Moon looked at the patriarch with watery eyes, begging for something.

The patriarch jumped off the boulder one by one, slashed his legs in the air to kill, and kicked Xiong Jingyu far away with a whip leg, and Xiong Jingchong rolled on the ground twice before he stopped moving.

"Daughter, what kind of crazy man is this! This is also our father, how can you let your father hurt our father so much, come and save our father!" the patriarch hurriedly went over and hugged Xiong Jingchong and shouted.

Fan Envoy wanted to say something, but his hand was stretched out to introduce himself, but he retracted his hand halfway through, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all!

Behind the canyon waterfall is a road, the road is as flat as a new one, it can be seen that it took many years of excavation to get this road, there are a few wild flowers and weeds on the side of the road, but there is no plant on the road, it should have been specially treated.

"Patriarch, this is really a big project!" Fan Shijin exclaimed after reading it.

Engong smiled, but it is the hard work of our ancestors that we are like today, and this road is smooth and convenient for our clan to do errand work for transporting goods. The patriarch said with a smile.

"Xianggong, you must remember that the shy flower is waiting in the valley!" the eldest daughter shy flower cried so much that the pear blossom brought rain.

"Hearing that everyone is fair, the little woman is also here waiting for the return of the son!" The second daughter is like a peach blossom on the moon, and the peach blossom is like a withering.

"Two girls, let's find someone else! I don't like others to wait, and I don't want others to wait, and there will be no time in the future. Wen Renxing turned his head and got on the horse.

Liu Cong and others hurriedly got into the carriage, Bai Xiyue drove the carriage reluctantly, waving the horsewhip, this horsewhip waved on the horse's body, as if waving on his heart, and Bai Xiyue's unrequited love ended.

"Engong! Go all the way! I will definitely pass through here on the way back! I will wait for good wine and meat to entertain you!" The patriarch's big man's tears also fell, and the patriarch's tears fell several times today. It's really a parting from each other, and it doesn't seem to be a good meeting.

The people in the valley came to say goodbye, and the carriage went farther and farther, and the voices of the people in the valley gradually disappeared on the other side of the road. Fan and Xiong in the carriage couldn't help wiping their tears with their sleeves, Liu Cong sat on the side and looked out the window, he also missed his parents, and he didn't know if his parents were okay in the distance.

"The patriarch and the people in the valley have sent me a lot of dry food! enough for us to go all the way to Chang'an, and we can't even eat it all!" said the bear envoy.

Although we encountered many twists and turns along the way, we were able to turn evil into good fortune and see the bright moon! Haha!" Fan Shijin's face was also full of joy.

"I'm waiting for this trip, although it was delayed for a few days before, but this passage only needs to walk for about five days, and it can reach Chang'an, which is still much faster than before!" Wen Renxing continued while riding a horse.

"What Brother Wen said is extremely true! God still blesses my Shu Kingdom!" Fan Shijin replied.

"But Brother Fan, do you think it's better for me to take a boat from Chang'an to Nantang?"

"After arriving in Chang'an, take the waterway all the way to the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty [Jianye]!" Fan Shijin immediately looked at the map.

"I waited until Chang'an and didn't stop, and after changing the horse rations that day, I went directly to the ferry to take a boat. Wen Renxing thought that it must not be an accident that there were twists and turns along the way.

"Brother Wenren is right, along the way, I also found that there may be a bigger crisis waiting for us in the future!" Liu Cong's intuition told him.

"The soldiers are fast!" what the two of you said is extremely true!" Fan Shijin said.

Seven days later...

"In front of you is Chang'an City! Wow! What a big city!" Liu Cong looked at the high slope from a distance, and saw Chang'an City from a distance.

"It's broken!Brother Fan, you and I have been entangled in the valley!?" the bear envoy only thought of this stubble when he saw the city.

"Don't worry, the patriarch has already returned all the money to me, and even more. Fan patted the money bag on his waist and said.

"Very good! Just enter the city, change horses quickly, and go straight to the ferry!" said the bear messenger, rubbing his hands.

There are a few short roads to reach Chang'an City, Chang'an City Gate is magnificent, as if this gate is for the giant to pass through, the defenders of the Jin State are close at hand, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are dressed in brown, people come and go in an endless stream of people into and out of the city, the soldiers as always check one by one.

"The soldiers of this Jin Kingdom are quite careful, and there are so many people coming and going in Chang'an City, but they don't miss the check. The bear envoy looked at the soldiers downstairs and said.

"The Jin Kingdom should not be underestimated, I think that I have been the master of the Tiger and Wolf of the Great Shu for so many years, and I have not taken any advantage in the Jin Kingdom. At this time, there are many wars between the two countries, and it is normal to investigate carefully. ”

On the tower of the city stood the soldiers defending the city, dressed in armor and steel helmets, there was a person every five steps, and every ten steps there was a flag symbolizing the Jin Kingdom. On the huge Chang'an City, there are full of sentinels. The leading general, holding a steel sword at his waist, watched the crowd coming and going.

"Respect, you look at the leading officers and soldiers on the city tower, I don't think he has looked elsewhere, just staring at this bustling crowd. Fan Envoy carefully looked at the Jin soldiers.

"This Jin soldier seems to be more well-trained than expected!" the bear envoy sighed as he looked at the soldiers under the Jin Kingdom Tower.

"When you break through Chang'an, you can be like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and then seize the world!" Fan Shijin's eyes were full of fire. It's not that heroes come out of troubled times, but that ambition produces heroes.

"It's almost there. Wen Renxing said as he rode into the carriage.

"Respect, this is my forged merchant paperwork, you take it. Fan took out the paper from his waist and handed it to the bear envoy.

"Brother Fan, if you really do it properly, there are still a lot of things to learn!" the bear envoy took the paperwork and hurriedly touted.

"I said that the two of you should not discuss and praise yourself, it will be our turn soon. On the side, Liu Cong finished reading these two people, you come and go.

"Hey, get out of the cart!" shouted the Jin guards into the carriage.

"Come out, sir!" Fan Shijin and Xiong got up and got out of the carriage.

"Someone is here to search the carriage!" the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom looked at the carriage left and right.

"Official, we are businessmen who have come to Jin to do business, and we specialize in reading silk and satin cloth! Fan Shijin smiled and handed over the paperwork.

The soldier guarding the door took the paperwork, looked at the paperwork, looked at the people again, and said, "Then who are these entourages under you?"

"These are a few servants who were bought, and I didn't have the deed on me, I will remember to carry them when I get back!" Fan Shijin's face was about to laugh.

"This must be investigated, otherwise you are waiting for the meticulous work from Shu Kingdom, but it is our fault. The Shu soldiers smiled and had no intention of letting this group of people pass, and at the same time, they had no intention of driving them away.

Fan Shijin looked around and no one was staring, and took out a string of Jin coins from his cuffs and stuffed it into the soldier's hand, and continued: "I'm just doing a small business, so what kind of work can it be." ”

"Let's go, I wish the shopkeeper a prosperous business! The soldier accepted the coin, beckoned Liu Cong and the others to let it in.

"Wow, this city gate is so tall, this is five or six horses can go in side by side!" Liu Cong sat next to Bai Xiyue and looked up at the ceiling inside the city gate.

"Hahaha, your entourage is like a child who has never seen the world! Child, go into the city and have a look, not only six or seven, but more than ten carriages can pass!" The officers and soldiers around who originally looked serious were amused by Liu Cong's words.

"I'll find a place to change horses, and then I'll go out of town and all the way to the ferry. The bear envoy whispered in the Fan envoy's ear.

Chang'an Gate is like a road to the other world, inside and outside this gate is two worlds, the bustling crowd in the city is like a river flowing endlessly; Each street leading from the city gate to the city was "covered with three wide roads", and twelve horse-drawn carriages could be carried at the same time.

"Wow! Chang'an City is so prosperous!" Liu never thought that there would be such a world after leaving the border town.
