Chapter 929 Advancement
The noodles are very chewy and refreshing, and the soup is also very delicious;
This means that Gou Moli also brought a lot of spices and was fully prepared.
"Your Majesty, we really didn't bring the stir-fried soybeans, but we have some pickled ginger. Could you please bring some?"
The prince nodded.
Gou Moli took out a small cloth bag with a few pieces of pickled ginger inside.
Zheng Fan didn't need to cut it, so he picked up a piece with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth, took a bite, and continued to put the rest in the noodle bowl.
Gou Moli pinched a piece of garlic himself, bit into half of it, and said
;
“Actually, Gouzi understands what the Lord said earlier.”
"Oh?"
Zheng Fan responded while drinking soup.
“It’s better in the snowfield. The environment there is harsh, and people don’t stick together and fight for pasture. It’s hard to survive the cold winter. In comparison, the raw and mature savages who live in the Tianduan Mountains are just like that. It feels a lot better.
It’s hard to feel full, but if you want to make some mistakes, try to learn from the mountains. The wild beasts are looking for something to satisfy their hunger. They are really desperate and want to starve to death.
It is definitely not warm enough to wear them, but even if they hold some dead branches, they will be hungry. , I'm looking for a small cave, I'm not sick and I have some food in my stomach, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to freeze to death
The days in the mountains are really much more comfortable than in the snowfields.
And they are very close to Jin, and the living habits of some familiar savages are already very similar to those of Jin people.
But in the past, the Helian family heard that no matter what happened, they liked to go into the Tianduan Mountains to hunt savages, or simply kill them and use their heads as trophies to show off their military exploits. , or they are captured as slaves and sold for profit.
Back then, when I was there, Gouzi was very puzzled.
Obviously there are quite a few savages in the mountains, from one tribe here to another, and their lives are much more comfortable than those of their fellow tribesmen in the snowfields, where they have to freeze every winter. A lot of people died.
But they actually let go of such a good life and still lived a life at the mercy of others.
Even if they were servile to the Jin people, they would still not be treated as human beings by the Jin people, but they did not dare to resist.
I was confused,
Why didn’t you resist? ”
Zheng Fan, who was eating noodles, stopped. Why does the analogy of Gouzi mean that he is comparing himself to something?
Gouzi was immersed in his own narrative:
"At first, I was angry with him. He was really a waste, a bunch of waste. It was precisely because there were so many wastes like this that I For hundreds of years, the savages could only huddle in a corner outside the extremely cold wall to survive.
After that, Gouzi started to do something.
Then,
Gradually,
I get it.
When I was an auxiliary soldier in Beifeng County and secretly learned the art of military formation of the Zhenbei Army, my life was very boring and difficult. Many nights, I would fall asleep holding that embroidered shoe.
Actually, the princess was still young at that time, a little girl who hadn’t grown up yet. It was her that I couldn’t forget about Gouzi, but it wasn’t her, it was just a thought.
When people live that kind of life, they always have to find something to cover themselves with;
It’s not to keep out the cold, but just to feel protected.
At that time, I often had a dream. In the dream, I was valued by the Marquis of Zhenbei. He betrothed the princess to me, and then I tried my best to be the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenbei. He even helped his father-in-law seize the throne of the Yan Kingdom, hehehe. "
Gou Moli took another bite of garlic and wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
"What about the great cause of the Saint Clan's renaissance, what about leading the Saint Clan back to their homeland again. When I had that dream, It's worthless, and there's even a sense of irritation about kicking it as far as you can.
After returning from Beifeng County, I continued to walk around for a few years, then returned to the snowfield and began to build my own business.
Tired, really tired. Some people are as stupid as pigs. You still have to keep hooking up with them. You don’t expect them to help you for the sake of your fellow race. All you want is not to hold you back. .
At the earliest, when I was lying alone outside my tent at night and looking up at the stars like now, I also thought about whether I could just be a small rancher on the snowy plains, with hundreds of warriors, and then take down a small A piece of pasture, belonging to a larger tribe, this life can be lived well.
Marry a wife, have children, and have more children, and you can always cope with the rest of your life quite well.
After a while, after the power rose, it reached a certain scale. I looked at the stars like this, and thought in my heart, it would be good to be the leader of the tribe.
With a large pasture and thousands of warriors under his command, you can maintain your dignity, design your own tribal totem, and pass it on to your children;
Wait until you really When you become the dominant player in the snowfield,
Faced with the difficulty of entering the customs,
I once looked at the stars and thought,
I don’t want to enter the customs.
I’ll just stay at home and unify the snowfield. Get up, even if the land is a little barren, even if the lives of the people in Xue Yuan are still the same as before, at least I can establish a country and call myself king, I can make the woman I like a princess, and I can make my children a princess and prince.
How difficult is it to enter the customs?
What a hard work,
The Jin people are really hard to fight,
And the Yan people also attacked Jin, and the Yan people are even harder to fight than the Jin people.
As for those wishes made to their followers, to lead them back to their homeland to a fertile land and get rid of the bitter cold and poverty, just talk about it, and everyone can be happy together at that time, and Why take it seriously?
Let this bet go,
If he loses, won't all his hard work for half his life be in vain?
But there is no way,
Situ Yi and Situ Jiong, the two living treasure brothers, are really a rare encounter in a hundred years, and the Situ family seems to be planning to directly join the Yan Kingdom and become the leader of the country.
If you don’t seize this opportunity, you will really have no chance to enter the customs again in the future.
So, Gouzi, I still entered the customs.
Let’s talk about the past few years. My lord, you cut off my retreat, and King Jingnan directly defeated me.
Gone, gone, gone, completely gone.
At that time, I was thinking, how about finding a chance to return to the snowfield, find Sang Hu, and see those old troops. It would be impossible to make a comeback, but at least I could settle down for the rest of my life. At least it would be a great time, and it would be time to shepherd sheep. I let myself go and found a comfortable blanket to lie down on.
However,
Gouzi took the initiative to find his master and revealed his identity.
Because Gouzi realized from the very beginning that the Marquis of Xuehaiguan was not a thing in the pond. ”
Gou Moli said a lot in one breath,
Finally,
sighed,
said:
"So, I can really understand the Lord's dream, Gouzi. Just like those savage tribes in the Tianduan Mountains, people are all greedy for comfort, even if they despise this kind of comfort in appearance, But I will always be seduced by it from time to time.
But people are different after all. Some people will be addicted to that kind of emotion and can't help it. Come out, it’s because they are not good at it;
Being like you, Lord, is actually like me, the dog;
When you wake up, lean here, look at the stars, and remember Recalling the past.
I am really tired, but I just look, look, think, and think about it;
After the excitement subsided,
it was just a matter of replacing the garlic cloves with soybeans, oh no, replaced with pickled ginger;
it was just a change of the side dishes. Taste,
In the end,
I have to hold up this noodle bowl to eat this noodle and drink this soup,
Why?
Because it carries hunger! ”
Zheng Fan took a big mouthful of noodles, and then took a big mouthful of soup;
opened his mouth,
sighed in front of him,
Said:
“They say side dishes go with wine, you are using your words to help me.”
“Hey.” Gou Moli shrank his neck and said, “Gouzi I have a lot of bits and pieces in the first half of my life, so it’s worth it if I can let you, Lord, make do with the next bowl of noodles.”
Zheng Fan put down the noodle bowl,
reached out.
He put it on Gou Moli's shoulder and patted it.
Gou Moli did not show any flattery, but looked as normal.
“After being released, it has returned to its previous appearance.”
“My lord, you still trust me and you will make it happen.”
“The ability to raise horses. , don’t fall behind.”
"I dare not leave you behind."
"There is no need to sleep in the stable anymore."
"This..."
"It is true that the inn is open for business, but it is not Let the guests sleep in the wing and sleep in the stable."
Gou Moli stood up and knelt down:
"The Lord is kind."
......
Under the escort of Gou Moli, Zheng Fan and the demon kings returned to Fan City first, but they did not settle down in Fan City or make any public appearance.
Although with the current situation, the Yan State is really not afraid of the Chu State, if Prince Pingxi suddenly makes an official appearance in Fan City, it is likely to cause a chain reaction among the Chu people. Correspondingly, Jindong will also have to follow suit. Deploy soldiers and horses together;
Not afraid of fighting, but afraid of trouble.
The real big battle will be five years later.
Even if you want to do some consuming and training exercises during this period, it shouldn't be this kind of pure tossing method.
The waterway between Jindong and Fancheng has matured, so when we return, we still take a boat as we did last time.
First of all, now that we are on the way back, it doesn’t matter if it’s faster or slower, I feel more at ease after all;
Secondly, although Zheng Fan himself has gained It provided a real fighting opportunity that was basically impossible to have on ordinary days, solidified a new realm, and also allowed Blind Man, Xue San and Fan Li to advance to the next level. However, there is still no clear way to advance in this round;
It would be good for me once I return to Fengxin City Lord. In fact, most of the demon kings are busy with worldly affairs. It is better to take advantage of the boat trip to get together and think about it carefully and try to find a way.
Therefore,
During the boring years on the ship,
the Lord basically slept until noon. In the morning, the demon kings gathered on the deck and turned on the "licking" "Tao" conference, summing up experience and putting forward new conjectures;
Wait until the afternoon, the Lord wakes up, from the afternoon to the first half of the night, it is basically the time for the demon kings to "test" the Lord.
No one was annoyed, no one took the initiative, and the Lord himself was very cooperative.
But until the boat left Mengshan and entered the boundary of Shanxi and entered Wangjiang River Road, it still failed to pick up one.
......
"Is this because we are not licking anything new, or has the master been licked out of resistance?"
The third master sat on the side of the boat, with three legs facing him. Swaying back and forth in the river breeze;
The blind man stretched out his hand and gently kneaded his neck. Last night, he chatted with his master until he fell asleep. He had no choice but to sleep for a while;
But because the master On the bed, he slept on a stool and felt a little stiff.
"Give you a plaster?" Xue San asked, noticing this detail.
"Okay." The blind man agreed.
Xue San took out a piece of plaster from his pocket and accurately applied it to the blind man’s neck. After finishing it, he did not forget to mock;
"It's really useful to tell the truth this time. Si Niang has been sleeping with the Lord these days, how could it have no effect at all? Now Si Niang has even given birth to a son for the Lord.
Besides, the magic pill is not There is no movement?"
"I know, but I have to try it myself." The blind man said.
"Okay, okay, what options do we have left now?"
"Theoretically, there is nothing left to do. The threshold this time should be a little too high, just casually ”
"Tsk."
Xue San sighed,
"Life is difficult."
"The operation is no problem." The blind man smiled.
Both myself and Xue San have advanced to the first level, and their strength has further recovered. Although they have not been able to keep up with the latest level, dealing with the craniotomy surgery is really not a big problem.
The most important thing is that the emperor's tumor looks so cute and well-behaved.
“Do you want to go to the capital again?” Xue San asked.
The blind man nodded and said, "It's impossible to call out the emperor and give him a ladle, right?"
Fan Li, who had been eating naan standing behind him, heard this and He immediately said:
“It’s my job to open the ladle.”
Xue San turned around and rolled his eyes at Fan Li,
said:
"Then we may not be able to get out of the capital alive."
The blind man did not continue to joke, Instead, he estimated his current position. , said: "You can get off the boat almost tomorrow."
If you walk from west to east, the most common route is naturally to pass through Yingdu, cross Wangjiang, go to Yupan City, and then go straight to Fengxin City, because this The three big cities are basically on the same line.
But there was no need for them to go all the way upstream to Yingdu and then get off the boat. It would be faster to get off the boat early and take the overland route.
At the same time, not far from the east coast, there was already a group of royal guards marching on the shore to follow them, preparing to get the prince and others off the boat and escort them back to the palace.
"Okay, I think I have a godson."
The godson the third master mentioned must be Zheng Lin.
His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has the appearance of a demon king since he was born, and is the favorite of the demon kings;
On the contrary, Zheng Fan and Siniang, who are biological fathers and mothers, are not that concerned about their son;
Sixiang is so happy and relaxed that she is too lazy to feed the milk herself on weekdays;
The Lord probably thinks more about big girls, who calls girls lovable.
Just at this moment,
three boats came from the opposite side. The boats were not big, but there were many people on them.
Each ship was hung with large flags intertwined with green and black. There were many men and women in white robes standing on the bow of the ship, holding whisks and other magical tools.
On the shore, many people are watching. A little further on both sides of the shore, you can still see altars set up.
"What are you doing?" Xue San asked curiously.
Before anyone could be sent to ask,
the three boats on the opposite side had already arrived, and the boatman on the opposite side also waved hello to his slightly larger boat. The boat pulls over first.
"Oh."
The third master laughed out loud when he saw this.
On the border of Jin, even if the emperor wanted to make way for his own master's ship, he had to negotiate. Do the others have this qualification?
The ship everyone is on is nominally a cargo ship. It was used by the Fan family to smuggle goods a long time ago, and it did not fly any royal flag.
A small boat came to the shore at this moment. On the small boat stood a middle-aged man in official robes, and the paddlers were several men dressed as government officials.
"Which cargo ship do you belong to? Please give way first. Today we invite immortal disciples from Yuanshan Sect to pray for good weather this year. The relationship is important, so please give way first."
This person has a small official position. But the tone of speaking is quite significant.
This is normal, because this ceremony was ordered by the superiors. Since the beginning of summer this year, Wangjiang has been rarely docile, so this kind of sacrifice has to be held to thank God, and hope that God will continue to show favor.
"What is Yuanshan Gate?" Xue San asked the blind man.
At this time, Siniang, who had been lying with her master for a while, heard the noise outside and walked out.
The blind man read a lot of books and was also in charge of intelligence materials. He had always kept in mind the affairs of the temple and the rivers and lakes, and immediately replied; Outer disciple of Guohou Mountain , built this mountain gate after returning from Houshan. In the early years, it was inconspicuous, but it seems to have developed well in recent years. "
" Houshan? "
Siniang Ting. He frowned slightly when he heard the word "back mountain".
The Liangzi who heads up and back the mountain can be said to be huge.
"The kind between the upright and the eccentric. He doesn't have any great abilities, but he's not a low-ranking person either. The disciples in the sect have good looks and take the middle-of-the-road route."
The third master joked:
"The seventy-nine-eighth kind?"
The blind man frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "They are almost the same."
Sixiang glanced at these two guys. ,
Spreading his hand, he put it in front of Xue San and said;
"Give me the fire letter."
"What for?" Xue San was a little confused.
“Tell the Jinyi guards from the east coast to come over and give them to these Qigong practitioners who don’t care about authenticity.”
“Huh?” Third Master muttered, “ To you.”
Xue San handed the Huoxinzi to Siniang, who took it, pulled out the plug and pulled it, and the Huoxinzi jumped into the air.
Immediately, there was the sound of horse hooves from the east bank.
The well-trained and loyal guards in royal robes are always waiting for their prince's call.
This movement also disturbed the people on the shore, and even the handsome male and beautiful female Qi practitioners on the three boats who were having big rituals were a little panicked.
Siniang ordered again:
"We have a big ship, give the order and hit it directly!"
The people below naturally obeyed the order immediately, and soon, the ship sailed straight forward, and the three ships in front of it that were already very close to each other started to move. Before it could reach it, one was knocked over directly.
Xue San asked with a smile as he stabilized his body;
"Sister, you are not even a queen yet, and you are planning to exterminate the world's qigong masters?"
Six Niang snorted disdainfully,
Said:
“I don’t have that spare time, but any Qi practitioner who has something to do with the back mountain, whether he is a real master or a low-level liar, I will just kill him if I bump into him.
The Lord has sworn that he will destroy the back mountain in the future.
I am just collecting interest in advance for the Lord. "
At the time of the collision, my own ship's hull was damaged. Also started to sway.
After a while,
The prince walked out dazedly, covering his forehead, probably hit;
But what Siniang said before
clearly fell into place. into his ears.
The next moment,
The aura on Siniang's body suddenly increased!
Xue San and Fan Li immediately opened their eyes,
Sanye immediately took out the dagger,
Fan Li immediately raised his axe,
directly Jumped off the boat,
"Fuck, chop them to death!"
The blind man did not jump off the boat and kill people like chicken blood,
but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
" So this time, are we like-minded?”
