Chapter 9 Guiding the Country
"I haven't told anyone for a long time. Li Xiang nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to you today, and I won't have to worry about you." β
"Pointing out the country, it is a competition, the general process is as follows: each country selects two or three royal families to participate in the auxiliary country's examination, and the auxiliary country selects a few outstanding people to participate in the interview of their own host country with the team of the auxiliary country, and the players of each host country will choose a few people as their entourage or participate in the final with them, and the total number of people in each host country does not exceed ten to enter the main country of the thick soil. These fifty people are all the finalists for the so-called guidance. Li Xiang took a sip of tea and looked at his sister, "As for the content of the competition, you usually answer whatever the examiner asks, I don't think it's serious at all." Said it was a competition, but in fact it was a large-scale royal gathering, you also saw it at the beginning, we were very good, passed the Huayun Hui test and entered the vast main country, and people just asked us to talk about our understanding of the mainland and the strategy of governing the world, and then sent back to our country. No big deal, don't worry. β
Li Xiang nodded, saying that she was not worried, but her heart was still thinking about her son and nephew who were already on the journey, and she couldn't wait to grow wings and fly to her son's side.
At this time, Zhao Guang, who had successfully boarded the ship and was about to go to Bibo City, and Liu Qidan, who was also in the cabin, were also talking about pointing out the country.
"Earlier, there was actually no guidance on the vast continent, and there were no five main countries, everyone lived in various places on the continent with the connection and difference of family blood, so there were many wars between each other, that was the most dangerous and dark time, everyone would often have a war because of the small things of sesame mung beans, and the war between the largest families at that time could even dispatch millions of people, and the tragedy of bloodshed and drifting made people shudder. Later, the five most powerful families agreed not to start such a war again, so the Five Lords were formed. If there is any dispute between the five main countries or they want to compare their national strength to see who has the biggest fist, they will send the most capable people in the country to compete in the agreed place, because they are all members of the royal family, not only to compete in martial arts, but also to discuss literary style. As the disputes between the five countries became less and less, and even completely became a gathering to compare who was more literate and elegant in the country, this is the prototype of the country.
Later, Houtu became the most powerful country on the mainland, so Houtu Country was designated as a fixed venue for guiding the country, so almost all the well-known finals were held in the main country of Houtu.
Later, because the territory of the continent was too large, the five major powers felt that the unified management was not enough, so they divided the several major families that were originally attached to them and became auxiliary countries, but the area of several auxiliary countries was almost as large as the main country, which inevitably made people worry about whether they would threaten the main country after they developed and expanded, so the auxiliary countries proposed to reduce the land area in accordance with the principle of separation, which is why all the auxiliary countries originally had eight subordinate countries.
Although the Suiguo and the auxiliary country belong to the main country, but in fact, there is almost no right to play during the game, at most, it is to meet the royal family of their own main country when they are screened in front, if the royal family selected by which main country is accepted as an entourage, it is already a great honor, so in the eyes of the Suiguo or even the auxiliary country, it is actually a gathering of the royal family.
"Zhao Xiang, I believe that this guidance is not as simple as you just said, right? Otherwise, such a boring game should have stopped a long time ago, after all, even the princes are not all gentlemen in the game world, there should be a lot of things that need them to do, I guess there must be some special rewards or uses for this guidance, so it has been passed down." β
Zhao Guang nodded and said: "You guessed right, it's true, so according to legend, the outstanding people selected by the old people will be greatly cultivated, and of course, they will also be tasked with huge tasks, but this kind of thing usually does not fall to the auxiliary country and the accompanying country, so most people don't know, and I don't know." I can only tell you that those who participate in the final of the Guiding Continent will gain a kind of enlightenment, and that is to enter the famous Five Great Sects on the mainland and become monks. Once the cultivation is successful, he will be given a special title: "Heavenly Guard".
"Tianwei?" Liu Qi said curiously: "Could it be to guard the frontier?"
"Yes and no. Tianwei does exist to guard the border, but it is by no means as simple as you think to guard the border. Zhao Guangyan said.
"Zhao Xiang, you stunned me. Liu Qidan's inquiry was very measured.
"Hehe, there are some things, you will understand when you go to the vast lord country, in short, they are no longer comparable to ordinary people like us. But for now, let's get to the bottom of the problem. As he spoke, Zhao Guang stood up and walked out of the cabin, because he clearly heard a lot of noisy sounds coming from both sides of the ship.
However, Liu Qidan's obviously unwilling conversation ended like this, he followed Zhao Guang closely and asked the last question: "Zhao Xiang, the so-called monk, has a chance to live forever?"
The curtain of the cabin was close at hand, but Zhao Guang paused obviously, and when he turned around, he had an unfathomable smile on his face: "I didn't expect that you know quite a lot." Then he lifted the curtain and walked out of the cabin.
At this time, it had been half a month since they met in Yunlan Country, and they had also reached the second stop of this journey, Bibo Suiguo. In front of me is a large wharf, which can almost accommodate hundreds of medium-sized cargo ships, of course, there are not many such big ships, and most of the small fishing boats that rely on the Luo River are docked by the wharf, but at this time the wharf is chaotic, I don't know what happened.
"Commander Gao, what's going on there?" Before Zhao Guang could speak, Liu Qidan, who had followed out, pointed to the shore and asked, obviously he hoped that Commander Gao, who had been staying on the deck of the ship, would be aware of the surrounding situation, but Commander Gao's answer did not satisfy him, "The subordinates don't know very well, but it looks like a lot of soldiers are checking something, and it is obviously a strict inspection." β
"Then you still have to say. Liu Qi glanced at Commander Gao, and then looked at Zhao Guang, "Zhao Xiang, it seems that the inspection of this Bibo Suiguo is quite strict, I knew that we would rent a smaller boat." It's going to take a lot of work to inspect our ship, and there's an armed guard on board. When he said this, he didn't mention that when he got on the ship, he took the lead in taking a luxury ship to show the majesty of Moyun, or Zhao Guang stopped him, so he chose the current medium-sized cruise ship.
"Otherwise, the inspection is not so strict in general, and I am afraid that there is indeed an accident in Bibo. Zhao Guang said with a frown as he observed the crowds of soldiers and scattered crowds on the shore.
"Oh, then let's not dock here, there are other docks along the way anyway. Liu Qitan said, he suddenly felt that in fact, more things are better than less things, in case Zhao Guang is here to make something wrong, he is not easy to explain, but he regrets some sloppiness when he set this line.
While a few people on the boat were hesitating, a young man in a white robe was sitting on the carpet and pouring himself a drink in an unoccupied area on the dock on the shore pier. His position is not prominent, but he can see all the surrounding situation, this person has been observing Zhao Guang and their boat for a long time, looking at the medium-sized pleasure boat in the river that is gradually slowing down, he smiled, "Want to run?" said he stood up, and actually walked straight towards the Luo River, which was at least a hundred zhang away from Zhao Guang's boat, but he just walked over, and what was even more peculiar was that he actually floated on the water like a leaf, and approached the cruise ship at a very fast speed.
"Thisβthis, Zhao Xiang, look, look. The first person to find him was Liu Qidan, who was frightened and immediately pointed at Zhao Guang and shouted, and then seemed to think that Zhao Guang was also a powerless person, so he immediately changed his words: "Commander Gao, vigilance, vigilance!"
At the time of these two sentences, the visitor approached the pleasure boat, and with a slight leap, stood on their deck.
"The name of the comer. The young man in white looked at the three people in front of him and said lightly.
Although Commander Gao drew out the sword he carried with him, he knew that the person in front of him was definitely not easy to mess with, especially the lightness and speed of his crossing the water, which was almost not something that ordinary people could do, so he didn't dare to act rashly, seeing that Zhao Guang didn't say anything, Liu Qidan shrank behind him again, so he had to stand up and say: "This son, we are from Moyun Country, and I am surrounded by two adults, Prime Minister Zhao Guang and Partial Prime Minister Liu Qidan, I don't know who you are?"
"Zhao Guang?" With the introduction of the high commander, the attention of the young man in white suddenly shifted to Zhao Guang, who was standing there without making a sound. "Zhao Guang of Yunlan Kingdom, Zhao Tianyou?"
Looking at the other party's inquiring gaze, Zhao Guang knew that he had to come forward to answer, "It's me, Brother Han Shi, who has been away for many years. I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but it actually blew you. How is Brother Han Shi doing?"
"It's really you!" The person called Brother Han seemed to recognize Zhao Guang and immediately walked over, but seeing that Commander Gao didn't seem to be at ease, he lifted his sword again, so he stopped and said to Zhao Guang: "Eh, do you need to explain." β
"Commander Gao doesn't need to panic, this Han Shi Brother is from Huayun Auxiliary Kingdom. Zhao Guang waved his hand to Commander Gao, signaling that he could put away his sword.
"Such a sloppy introduction?" Seeing that Commander Gao was no longer holding the sword, the young man surnamed Han took another step, walked in front of Zhao Guang, and said, "Oh, you are still so simple, Ben Shao's title is so long, and it is really boring for you to be so hastily revealed." β
"The name is just a symbol, it's good to introduce it clearly, isn't it?" Zhao Guang replied seriously.
