Re-walking the Silk Road, Zongxin and his entourage took this difficult first step. After purchasing sufficient supplies in Toyosu, he took his convoy all the way west.

When they set off, not only the convoy of Zongxin, but also some foreign businessmen who were originally in Toyosu also wanted to take this opportunity to return to their own country. Anyway, by the way, they also want to walk with others, which is safer.

In fact, every trip is risking your life, but the more people, the safer it is. If there is no such a large army, maybe many people do not have the idea of going home, after all, going to Fengzhou to do business is based on the year, of course, the money earned is not a few, if you go back like this, in case of bandits and robbery, it will be over, so many years of hard work are all in vain, and even your life can not be saved.

People who don't have any skills don't dare to take the deserted Silk Road, but after all, they are alone, and it is inevitable that there will be some accidents on the way. So many people want to go home, but are afraid to go home. Among them was a priest whom Zongxin had met in church.

Of course, the priest misses his hometown, but each time he sends a knight to bring back the spices he bought in the Central Plains, and the knight only transfers the spices to the church at the next assembly point, and then the church continues to send them to the next assembly point. They can only use this situation to buy spices in the Central Plains and send them back to their hometowns with difficulty, and there is no other way.

The price of spices is too expensive, and in their homeland spices cost three times the same weight of gold. But in the Central Plains, a sachet is only sold for a dozen yuan, and at most it is only a few tens of hundreds of yuan, so they would rather take the risk of coming here, because this is simply thousands of times, tens of thousands of times the profit.

Not only the priests in the church, but also many people ventured to Toyosu City for the high-value merchants of the Central Plains, the most remote part of the Central Plains, but the closest place to their hometown. Moreover, this is a staging area, where they can buy things from the Central Plains without being suppressed by the Central Plains regime, so they are all willing to stay in Fengzhou.

Homesickness is the same for everyone, no matter how beautiful the outside world is, the best is still your hometown. It's been so many years since I left home in a blink of an eye, and I don't know how my relatives are doing at home, and it's normal for me to want to go back and have a look.

This time it's good, there is such a large team to re-take the Silk Road, many merchants in Fengzhou hope to take this hitchhiker, as long as they follow the large army, go to their hometown and then leave the team to go home, so that not only safe, but also on the road there is a care, even if they are unwell and sick, there is someone to take care of.

Zongxin's departure took away many merchants in Fengzhou, but Feng Hui did not stop him, but gave his full support. Because Zongxin only took these merchants away, their business still stayed in Fengzhou, and they also bought a large number of products and applications from Fengzhou, which had already made Feng Hui a lot of money.

What Feng Hui was looking forward to was the return of Zong Xin and his party, who would not only bring back a large amount of possessions, but also those exquisite and cheap things from foreign countries. Those things are treasures that the Central Plains will never be able to buy, and they will be the real big profits at that time, and Feng Hui is already looking forward to the scene when he counts the money until he is soft.

The Sect has taken its leave from everyone, and they will go as far as Persia. The same is true of most people, since ancient times Persia is so rare that it is almost time for them to go back when they arrive in Persia. Although I don't know how long it will take, everyone is full of anticipation.

After starting from Toyosu, the first hurdle was to pass through the endless desert area outside Toyosu City, but these people didn't care, because this desert was not a so-called difficulty at all for the rest of the journey, it was just a small test.

For these merchants in Fengzhou, they have already walked this way, this desert is actually not big, and the westward journey is even narrower, and there are locals to lead the way out of this desert in a few days. The next is the real difficulty, this way is all walking through the yellow sand and loess, accustomed to the desert wind and smoke, in addition to desolation, or desolation.

Some places are full of green mountains and clear waters, some places are full of grasslands, some places are full of wind and sand, and some places have no grass. The real tests are in the human heart, and the harsh environment can be overcome, but the loneliness of being endless and feeling that there is no one else in the world except oneself is unbearable.

It is certainly impossible to walk such a long way alone, but it is refreshing to walk together. The hardships of this journey are certain, and no one can escape the hardships of such a long journey, but for Zongxin and his party, it is just a trip.

What robbers robbed, this is all nonsense. I hadn't seen a single robber on this trip, let alone a robber, and there wasn't a single human figure, not even a ghost. Only occasionally encounter a few nomadic tents, but they are also very rare.

Zong Xin and his entourage are all martial arts practitioners, although Ning An's martial arts are slightly worse, but she is also cultivating internal strength, and her body is no longer as delicate as before, and she has not been sick or uncomfortable along the way. However, many people in the caravan fell ill due to the incompatibility of the water and soil, but with the care of other people around them, they survived, and no one was injured or killed along the way.

After walking for about a month, this vast convoy finally arrived at Dunhuang, Shazhou, the first stop of the Silk Road. Arriving here, we have passed through Tibet, but most of the land has been occupied by Tibet, but Dunhuang still inherits the Tang Dynasty.

A huge caravan came outside the city of Dunhuang, which also frightened the soldiers defending the city. However, they quickly calmed down and immediately went to inform the city lord Cao Yanjing. The city lord naturally rushed to the city gate immediately, looked at this mighty convoy, and knew that this was the merchant's army, not the army. As long as he knew that it was not an army, Cao Yanjing had nothing to fear, and immediately rode his horse to the caravan.

At this time, Cao Yanjing was a little surprised, the leader of the caravan turned out to be a monk riding a white giant wolf, wearing a robe, solemn appearance, Cao Yanjing was shocked and immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Hurry up and ask the high monks and nobles. ”

Zongxin was surprised: "Amitabha, the poor monk Dharma name Zongxin, I don't know who to drive?"

"Master Zongxin, sure enough, Master Zongxin is here. Cao Yanjing said excitedly: "Hurry up, hurry up and inform my father, just say that the master of the high monk Zongxin has come to Dunhuang, and he will stop the banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the master." ”

Cao Yanjing also brought a few people, and the city lord ordered to immediately turn the horse's head and run back. They also know Zongxin, and they know that it is not a trivial matter for Master Zongxin to come here, and he runs faster than anyone else, and wants to grab this first credit.

Zong Xin was a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that there were people in Dunhuang, Shazhou, who knew him, and that the salary was so high? Looking at the costumes of these people, they were all Han Chinese. It's just that the situation here in Dunhuang is a little troublesome, except for a few states near Dunhuang, all other places are occupied by Tubo or Turkic, and it is rare that they can continue to use it to this day, but this time they are not here to fight, it will not be the wrong time.

Zong Xin said embarrassedly: "I knew that I should wear casual clothes and a wig, so as not to be recognized." Dare to ask the noble surname and high name?"

"In the lower Dunhuang city lord Cao Yanjing, my father is the former Guiyi Army Festival envoy Cao Yuande, and now the Guiyi Army Festival envoy is my uncle Cao Yuanzhong. Cao Yanjing said excitedly: "I don't know if Master Zongxin is far away to forgive his sins and atone for his sins." ”

"Uh~ this...... You and I have never been in life, don't be so polite, you have nothing to do with courtesy, you are either cheap or stealing, you still know what you want to do. "Zong Xin was a little afraid of this person's politeness, what if he ate his meal and asked him to help fight the war?

Cao Yanjing said embarrassedly: "Master Zongxin is too worried, the Cao family's Guiyi Army is governed by Buddhism, and the Buddhist monks are respected by him. Not to mention Master Zongxin, a monk like this, I have not heard of your deeds, killing 50,000 enemies with one person and one move, and before that, he used 3,000 cavalry to slaughter 30,000 with a clever plan, how can this monk not be respected? I didn't expect to be able to see Master Zongxin himself, and the master must give a face to the friendship of the landlord. ”

"Oh~ Yes, Dunhuang advocates Buddhist culture, and I almost forgot about it. Zong Xin clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha Buddha ~ that poor monk is respectful and not as good as obeying his fate." ”

"Please, please. ”

Cao Yanjing escorted all the way and behaved very respectfully. Looking at his appearance, he is in his 20s and less than 30, and he is the city lord of Dunhuang City at this age. But after all, this is a family industry, although the Cao family is not called the emperor, but the surname Cao is the emperor here, but they will have unbearable trouble after they become emperors, so the Cao family does not dare to be called the emperor, and has been using the Tang Dynasty name.

Cao's territory was small and surrounded by almost all the powers, and the Tibetans and Turks had always eyed the place. However, the Turks had no time to take care of the Dunhuang area due to their own reasons, and the Tibetans were also too busy to take care of themselves due to civil strife. It is precisely because of this that the Dunhuang area has survived to this day.

Zong Xin led the convoy into Dunhuang City, and the merchants who couldn't wait immediately began to buy supplies, selling and purchasing by the way, almost bartering. The convoy of Zong Xin and his party was taken to the City Lord's Mansion, which was Cao Yanjing's mansion.

From a long distance, I saw a mighty old man standing outside the door with people waiting, and when he saw a group of people coming, the old man took two steps forward and came to Zong Xin.

"Cao Yanjing, the envoy of the Guiyi Army, has seen Master Zongxin. ”

Zong Xin immediately got off the wolf, put his hands together and saluted back: "The donor is polite." ”

"Master Zongxin really deserves his reputation, looking at your dismounting, I know that you are quite skilled, I don't know what the purpose of this trip is?" Cao Yuanzhong is also afraid of him, the big devil who can kill 50,000 people with one move, although he has different names in his position, but Zongxin's ability is really scary. If Zongxin came to attack Dunhuang this time, it would be bad.

Zong Xin chuckled and said, "Re-walking the Silk Road, there is nothing else. Moreover, the poor monk has some physical problems, and needs to go to the Western Regions for treatment, and the farthest should be to Persia. ”

"What's wrong? Even Master Zongxin can't do anything?" Although Dunhuang is far away from the Central Plains, the news is quite well-informed, the situation here is very similar to Kunlun Mountain, and people will be sent to the Central Plains all year round, so I have always known what happened in the Central Plains. Because Dunhuang advocates Buddhism, it deliberately asks people about Zongxin's news and his legendary deeds.
