For the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty to inspect and comfort the state capitals, the Dali court was extremely fast, and almost no twists and turns won everyone's approval. Even if the Gao clan leans towards the government and the opposition, and knows that this move will not benefit him much, he still can't stop it. The reason is not very mysterious, but it is related to the official trade between the Great Song Dynasty and Dali.

In this era, the Great Song Kingdom is a well-deserved world center, and if it can obtain the right to trade with the Great Song Kingdom, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to these tribes of the Dali Kingdom. Although there are private trade contacts between the two sides, they are not officially recognized and protected, so it is difficult to expand the scale. Although it was only a small group of traders, it was enough to make these tribes know the taste of the marrow, and they were more eager to trade with the Great Song Dynasty. It is precisely because of this consideration that almost no one in the entire Dali Kingdom opposes this construction. No matter what the political position of these civil and military officials is, they always have their own relatives and close friends behind them.

Now that the matter has been obtained, it is immediately on the agenda. Originally, Cai Jing and others planned to arrange Zhao Ji to go to the Shanyi Mansion in the east of Dali, which is Kunming, which is the Tokyo of Dali, and is known as the "Spring City" in later generations, which is the most superior route.

However, Zhao Ji had his own intentions, and generously gave up this route to others, and he chose Yongchang Mansion to go south. The mountains and rivers on this road are treacherous, the road is rugged, and the twists and turns are twisted, and the rest of the delegation feels anxious when they listen to the local people of Dali. Cai Jing and the others still have to persuade again, but Zhao Ji has made up his mind, and everyone can only accept this result, but they can't help but praise a few times that the prince is very high-spirited.

Knowing that Zhao Ji actually chose to go to Yongchang Mansion, Duan Zhengchun was also slightly surprised, Yongchang Mansion is still south of Dali City, in addition to the rugged roads, the folk customs are also very strong, and there is no shortage of strong Liang bandits entrenched in the mountains and forests. Even if Duan Zhengchun has lived in Dali for a long time, he rarely goes. He explained the details to Zhao Ji carefully, but Zhao Ji only smiled and said that someone must go. The advice was fruitless, and Duan Zhengchun wanted to personally protect Zhao Ji and his party. However, Zhao Ji still tried his best to refuse, only saying that he had these guards brought by Qiao Feng and Bianliang City by his side, and he was safe, so he really didn't have to bother Duan Wang Ye to run around.

was advised by Zhao Ji, and Duan Zhengchun was really committed to important matters, so he didn't continue to insist, but he still assigned the four major guards of the palace to protect Zhao Ji, and let his son Duan Yu accompany him. Zhao Ji couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

After two days, the group finally left Dali City to go south.

Among them, Zhong Ling is the happiest, her home is on the bank of the Lancang River in the south of Dali, she has been away from home for a long time, and she also misses her mother a little, plus her brother Zhao really didn't lie to her, and really wanted to send her home, so from the beginning of the road, Zhong Ling's interest has been very high, following Zhao Ji's side, and constantly describing to him the customs near the Lancang River.

The second happiest is Duan Yu, he has always been eager to go out to play, but he has been kept in captivity at home since he was a child, and this time he finally has the opportunity to go out justifiably, and everything feels very novel to see along the way.

As for Zhao Ji, he finally embarked on the journey to Wuliang Mountain to find the Northern Spiritual Skill, and he should have been very happy, but because he was forced into a Duan Yu in the team, it made his good mood a little ruined. The main purpose of his trip south this time was to snatch Duan Yu's opportunity, but Duan Yu kept dangling in front of his eyes, which really made people feel a little uncomfortable, and he felt a little bit like a thief. But it's just a little uncomfortable, he is determined to get the Northern Spiritual Skill, and there is no name written on the secret book.

This southbound road is not a simple car, but a guard of honor is set up, and it is necessary to visit various local governments and tribes along the way. What made the entourage of Dali more embarrassed was that Zhao Ji, a visitor from the Great Song Dynasty, was even more popular than Duan Yu, the prince of Zhennan. Dali is not like the Great Song Dynasty, the state and county governance is clearly divided, there are liuguan all over, the local management institutions are relatively chaotic, and some places do not have officials stationed by the imperial court at all, but the local tribes manage themselves. Sometimes, the accompanying guards of the Zhennan Wangfu carried out the signboard of the Zhennan Wangfu, and the locals even refused to receive them. But when the guards of the Great Song Dynasty came forward to negotiate, the elders of those tribes greeted each other with smiles and enthusiasm. This kind of phenomenon is often occurring, and it is also a miracle.

Of course, this does not mean that these tribes are not subject to the control of the Dali court but are inclined to the Great Song Dynasty, and most of them still want to get some benefits from the Great Song Dynasty envoys, but this also reflects that the Dali Kingdom is not very strong in its control over the local area. Although Zhao Ji didn't know whether these phenomena were useful or not, he still ordered someone to record them carefully.

After passing Chuwei County, the control of the Dali Imperial Court became weaker, and there was not a single city-type building that could be seen for almost a few days. The mountain people were scattered in the villages between the mountains and valleys, and had little communication with the outside world, and even some elderly mountain people even thought that this group of officers and soldiers were the tax collectors of the Nanzhao State to collect grain taxes. The blockage of the news can be seen.

At this time, there was no road for the team to move forward, no matter how high or low they were, they needed to climb mountains and mountains with their hands and feet, and the cars they carried with them were all left in Chuwei County early in the morning. The guards of the Great Song Dynasty who were not accustomed to walking the rugged mountain roads complained bitterly, and the military attaches sent by the Zhennan Royal Mansion did not look very relaxed, and obviously rarely came to these places.

Among the group, except for Qiao Feng and other people with martial arts, it is the little girl Zhong Ling. She grew up in the mountains, and the rugged mountain roads were even smooth, and the closer she went south to her home, the more energetic she became.

As for Zhao Ji and Duan Yu, one is getting closer and closer to Wuliang Mountain, and the other is because everything is novel when he goes out for the first time, although his spirit is not bad, but his body really can't keep up. Zhao Ji has Qiao Feng to help him rejuvenate his qi and blood, and he can barely support it. As for Duan Yu, these people in Dali Kingdom did not have the profound internal strength of Qiao Feng, seeing that Shizi was so tired that his legs were trembling, he couldn't bear it, so he took turns to carry Duan Yu on his back and continue to hurry.

Seeing Duan Yu lying on the backs of the Dali military attachés with his tongue stuck out like a dead dog, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be a little curious, in another time and space, how did this kid survive and sneak all the way over this mountain range to Pu'er?

There is no shortage of dangers between the mountains, and in addition to the undulating terrain, there are occasional encounters with strong mountain tribes. These people live an isolated life, and it is in vain to talk to them about Dali or the Great Song Dynasty, and their respective local dialects are vague and difficult to distinguish, even if Dali arranges mountain guides in Chuwei County, there are still frequent situations where chickens and ducks talk together. When there is a barrier to communication between the two sides, the use of force will occur.

But often at this time, the little girl Zhong Ling comes in handy. These complicated local dialects, almost every time they cross a mountain beam, there will be a different dialect, and the little girl can actually speak to these people for a long time. This skill, even these people in Dali are dumbfounded. Duan Yu admired the little girl so much that he would occasionally pester Zhong Ling to learn it, but Zhong Ling lacked a good impression of Duan Yu, so he only let him learn to walk by himself before talking about anything else.

This inevitably hurt Duan Yu's self-esteem, and he insisted that he walk by himself. Several military attaches in the Zhennan Palace's mansion couldn't resist his insistence, so they could only put him down. However, because of a slippery foot, he almost fell off the cliff, but Qiao Feng's eyes were quick and he caught him back with dragon grabbing skills. This time Duan Yu escaped death, everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to let him go by himself.

The rugged mountain road went up and down, the distance was extended several times, and it took nearly three days to see the plain dam between the peaks. But when they were about to leave this mountain, a group of fierce mountain people blocked everyone's way, and they didn't even say hello, but rushed up directly. Caught off guard, several guards were injured by the guns and spears made by the mountain people. After the reaction, there was another fierce scuffle.

On such a rugged mountain road, the guards who were accustomed to the impact of the military formation were inevitably restrained, but a martial arts master like Qiao Feng burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and several mountain people were brought down before the rabbit rose and fell. One man rushed into the midst of the mountain people, his fists and feet flying, and all those who were hit fell to the ground wailing. In a matter of moments, nearly 30 mountain people lost their combat effectiveness. Although Qiao Feng's action was extremely measured, the people who were put down were only temporarily sealed and incapacitated, but the remaining mountain people were also shocked and froze in place, not daring to be presumptuous anymore.

When the dust of the battle fell, Zhong Ling stepped forward to ask the reason, and after a while, he turned back with a red face and said: "These people are from several nearby tribes, and many of their daughters' families have been taken away recently...... It's harmful, so when you see us, you mistakenly think that we did it. ”

Zhao Ji naturally wouldn't ask about these local affairs in Dali, so he handed them over to the people of Zhennan Wangfu to deal with. Because of the delay for a few hours, when I walked out of the mountain, the sky was gradually darkening. Everyone quickened the pace of their journey again, and finally arrived at the Yongchang Mansion at nightfall.

After a few days of savage life, Rao was unable to bear the fatigue of the strong men in the ranks, and fell asleep after eating and drinking.

Zhao Ji didn't feel sleepy, and after taking a bath, he sat quietly under the window of the post house room, looking at the shadows of the peaks of the black hole in the distance by the moonlight. There, it's the Infinite Mountain!
