Chapter 87: Entering Yunnan (2)
After about half an hour of rushing, Changfeng and others finally arrived at the gate of the border. Since it bordered the Dian Kingdom, Dian Kingdom was the only neutral country on the mainland, there was basically no war, and the garrison here only maintained the nearby public security. Therefore, the trade in the border towns here is quite lively, and there are many merchants from the two countries coming and going, which is very lively. Now the sea outlet of Loulan is controlled by Lou Wuyun. The merchants who pro-Loulan regime naturally cannot go through the sea to do business on behalf of Wu Yue and Dugu, so they had to transit through Dian Kingdom and enter Dugu. Therefore, the outbreak of the war did not make the place depressed, but became more prosperous. It can be seen that the war did not have all had a negative impact.
Changfeng also learned from Guo Huai that although Dian Kingdom remained neutral, it still retained the armed forces of about 80,000 people, so this is also a force that cannot be ignored. This force is now very subtle. The current king of Dian Kingdom is extremely ambitious, but ordinary people cannot see it. This force has an immeasurable effect on any Loulan or Lou Yue. This is Changfeng's thought of Cao Ruifeng's situation in the Dugu Dynasty, which is surprisingly similar. However, she is not between countries, but three different forces in the same country.
"Stop, lead the identity." Changfeng and others were stopped by Loulan soldiers guarding the gate in front of the border.
Changfeng is now the identity of Minghuo, the elder of the Netherworld Sect. He was naturally furious when he heard this sentence. He pointed to the soldier who was asking questions and scolded: "Rareless, ask your boss to come and see this elder."
The soldier seemed to be frightened by Changfeng's fierce look. When he saw that everyone behind Changfeng was dressed by the Netherworld Sect, his heart suddenly became cold. He secretly blamed himself for asking questions without seeing clearly. The powerful Netherworld Sect even their boss and the guards at the border did not dare to offend easily. He was a small soldier at the city gate and did not dare to answer anything, for fear that he would say the wrong thing again, and that his boss would not be able to save him when he came, so he hurriedly ran up the city gate.
After a while, he saw a hurried run down from the city gate tower, followed by a ghost messenger. Changfeng was slightly surprised, and then felt relieved. The ghost messenger was a little surprised, but it was reasonable.
The ghost messenger was startled when he saw Changfeng's face. Without thinking, he knelt down and said, "The sixth ghost messenger, see Elder Nether Fire." The Nether Tribe is of strict hierarchy, and the one who is above must obey absolutely and not have any disobedience.
Changfeng learned enough Minghuo's appearance, and he didn't even look at him, and said, "Get up."
The guard general wearing Loulan armor who was walking in front of him bowed to Changfeng and said, "There are the side generals here, I wonder what the elders are looking for?"
Changfeng cleared his throat and said, "Actually it's nothing. The soldiers under the general stopped me and said they wanted to pass the identity road guide."
The person was relieved. It turned out that it was just such a small matter, as long as it did not offend others too much, he hurriedly apologized: "I forgive me. My subordinates don't know that it is you, I don't understand the rules, and I offend you. I'll also ask you to see you!"
Changfeng saw his smile on his face, and felt very annoyed by the person in his heart, and said contemptuously: "Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty. I can leave the confinement now, right?"
The general was happy to see Changfeng not blame him, and he kept saying, "Yes, of course, you can come out of seclusion now."
The ghost messenger was a little confused. How could Elder Nether Fire suddenly come here? However, his status is under Nether Fire, and he wanted to ask but did not dare to ask. The order he received was to assist the guards here to block the border, otherwise Changfeng and others would come out of here.
Changfeng knew that if he didn't explain a few words to the Sixth Demon Envoy, he might immediately become suspicious, so he said, "The Sixth Demon Envoy!"
"I'm here." The ghost messenger said with a hurry.
"This time, the whereabouts of this elder are very confidential. The matters he did when he came out of seclusion were personally explained by the leader. You must not disclose the whereabouts of this elder. You know the rules in the sect. If you violate the sect, you know the consequences." Changfeng was frightened and deceived him.
The ghost messenger nodded and agreed quickly, and half of his doubts were relieved. It turned out that he had gone out to do business under the secret order of the leader, so he naturally did not dare to inquire. He also wanted to hold on to his current status and the head of eating.
Guo Huai didn't expect this identity to be so useful. He muttered a few words to Changfeng. Changfeng understood and said to the two: "When I came out, I forgot to carry the pigeons for contact. If you have one, give me a few. Anyway, there is nothing big here."
After Changfeng said this, the ghost messenger believed Changfeng's words and brought all the pigeons used for contact here to Changfeng and others. Now even if the other party suddenly understood that there were no pigeons, he ran back to report the news, and he had already left. Guo Huai is worthy of being known as the "ghost fox", and he even planned to do so.
With the permission of the prejudice to guard the pass, the soldiers would naturally not make things difficult for Changfeng and others. In addition to the city gate of the Loulan border, they quickly disappeared from the sight of the Sixth and the General of the Devil's Gate on the border city tower and entered the territory of the Dian Kingdom.
Before entering Dian Kingdom, Changfeng and others found a place to sell all the clothes of the Netherworld Sect, and then changed into the clothes purchased by Hong Fu for them. Changfeng also removed the disguise of the Netherworld Fire on his face and returned to his appearance of leaving Caijia Town. Since they were ambushed by the Netherworld Sect before they could show their fonts, the name and identity did not need to be changed. Changfeng is still the young master of his wealthy medicinal merchant, Guo Huai is the official and the instructor of Ding Chongshan's guarding hospital. The group officially set foot on the territory of Dian Kingdom through the investigation of the border of Dian Kingdom.
The climate of Dian Kingdom is obviously different from that of Loulan. The climate here is warm and humid. The mountains and fields are full of spring green. Although the people's clothing is a little different from Changfeng and others, they do not feel bullying. On the contrary, the people here are quite enthusiastic to outsiders. Compared with Loulan, this place is simply a paradise on earth. Unknown wild flowers on the roadside are blooming with their beautiful smiles. The grass is not to be outdone. It shows its graceful figure in the wind, and the air also exudes a charming fragrance. The fertility and beauty here have been maintained for hundreds of years. It cannot be said that it is not a miracle. In addition to Dian Kingdom, it is a neutral country, there is another reason that there has not been a foolish monarch in the Dian Kingdom yet. Every generation of monarchs is a man of great talent. They govern the Dian Kingdom into an iron bucket. However, those who covet this beautiful land have no chance to start.
As everyone got rid of the pursuit, everyone felt relaxed. Is there anyone here who knows themselves? Along the way, you can enjoy the unique exotic scenery of the Dian Kingdom. There are many ethnic groups here, and Changfeng also saw the Yuegan, Puppet, and Taishui people living here. Changfeng didn't know much about the local ethnic group. With Guo Huai, a master who once traveled all over the world, Changfeng suddenly gained a lot of knowledge, so the trip slowed down.
Guo Huai didn't know if he deliberately led the Changfeng around the Dian Kingdom. He didn't go to one place and had to rest for a day or two. There were eight acropolis in the Dian Kingdom. The eastern city of Dian was close to Loulan and was also a border city border with Loulan. The southern city of Dian was also a border city. The closest was Louyue, and the western city of Dian was the most similar to a city. It was the westernmost part of it. It was said that opposite the canyon was the territory of the barbarians. Everyone in the barbarians had never established a country, but he owned a very fertile land. The barbarians were fierce.
It is ruined, so everyone calls them barbarians. There are several tribes of the barbarians, and no one knows the specific people. Their monarch is the chief, and no one has seen it. With such a natural barrier, the barbarians naturally cannot get through it. Therefore, the defense of the western city of Dian is the weakest. The northern gate of Dian is the largest gate of Dian Kingdom. It is the gateway to the Dugu Dynasty. The northern gate of Dian Kingdom formed under the northern gate of Dian Kingdom has become the second largest city of Dian Kingdom. Most of the merchants of the two countries trade here, and the prosperity is no less than that of Dianjing.
There are four cities named after flowers, namely Peony City, Shaoyao City, Aomei City and Qiuju City. As the name suggests, these cities are famous for their own flowers, but it does not mean that there are only these flowers in the Dian Kingdom. Dian Kingdom is the hometown of famous strange flowers and plants, so it naturally has its own famous features. The villages, tribes, and villas scattered between the big cities have their own characteristics and their own extraordinary features.
Changfeng and others entered the Dian Kingdom again, and the first stop was naturally the East Diancheng.
When entering the eastern city of Yunnan, Changfeng's first feeling was that it was too clean. Compared to the dirty and messy Loulan, it was a paradise and hell. But we can't blame others for the war there, and it was impossible to clean it up even if we wanted to. So Changfeng just felt refreshed and nothing was left.
It is said that Dian Kingdom is a country of flowers, not just real flowers. Dian Kingdom is a place where beautiful women appear on the entire continent. It should be said that it is a country of fragrance. Changfeng was affected by the true energy in his body and unconsciously looked at the young women on the roadside. The women of Dian Kingdom have always been bold. Changfeng looked at others like this, and they would not be shy. Instead, they rushed to win the eyes of Changfeng. Who doesn’t like such a handsome young man?
Guo Huai looked at the scene with a smile, shook his head and said to himself: "You can't escape the disaster. Lord, please be blessed, Guo Huai can't help you."
"Old Man Guo, what are you muttering?" Since Niu Gao got familiar with Guo Huai, and Guo Huai was actually about the same seniority as him, he no longer treated him as an elder in his words.
Guo Huai didn't pay attention to the rash man beside him, and he suddenly rose from "Old Guo" to "Old Guo". He felt a little unhappy and roared with a deep face: "Niu Gao, in terms of seniority, I am your senior brother, why are you talking to your senior brother like this?"
Niu Gao was naturally not afraid of him, so he laughed and apologized: "Senior Brother, you are Mr. Guo, and now we are our leader. What's wrong with calling you Old Man Guo?"
When Changfeng heard Niu Gao's words, he couldn't help but burst out and burst into laughter. Ding Chongshan and other eleven guards were also defeated by Niu Gao's words. He didn't expect that Niu Gao had such a talent for humor.
Guo Huai couldn't smile bitterly, and said: If a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain it clearly. He might as well ignore Niu Gao.
After this small episode, everyone's relationship became more harmonious. Of course, Guo Huai also directly rose to the status of "Old Man Guo" because of this incident. However, Changfeng has always called him "Old Man Guo", which made him unable to turn the world back and find a little comfort.
I found an inn in the city to stay. Guo Huai went to Yuantong Money House to repay about 1,000 silver and distributed it to everyone. What if someone meets something he likes on the road and has no silver on him, then how about it? Changfeng knew that Guo Huai was careful in his work, but he didn't expect to be so careful. He couldn't help but fantasize that it would be great if there was a government official like Guo Huai!
It is naturally indispensable for Changfeng to eat fine wine, but although he likes fine wine now, he will never overdose it again, and he still thinks that the lesson is not enough!
"Lord, since we are concealing ourselves as medicinal materials merchants, if we don't do some real drama, it will probably attract attention." Guo Huai and Changfeng were talking secretly.
"What are Mr. Guo's suggestions?" Changfeng put down the wine glass in his hand and said.
Guo Huai smiled mysteriously and said, "The climate in Dian Kingdom is humid, which is needed for the growth of many medicinal materials. Therefore, the medicinal materials in Dian Kingdom are not much worse than Loulan. Why don't we buy some medicinal materials and sell them back? This will make a lot of money?"
Changfeng thought yes, although everyone had 900,000 silver dollars in total, they couldn’t live in the future. It would be a good thing to make money. Anyway, it’s okay to make some money and spend money. His eyes lit up and said, “Old Guo’s suggestion, Changfeng raised his hands to agree, but Changfeng shouldn’t have benefited from it alone. Otherwise, how about everyone paying money together?”
As soon as he hit it off, Changfeng and Guo Huai started their first plan to make money in their lives after the disaster.
Of course, Changfeng would not be so stupid as to invest all the money in it. After fierce negotiations, Changfeng took out 200,000 taels, and the other fourteen took out 100,000 taels, and collected 300,000 taels of silver to buy medicinal materials in Dian Kingdom.
Changfeng and Guo Huai decided to choose the place to buy medicinal materials, because the medicinal materials purchased from 300,000 silver would probably be piled up into a small hill, and there were many escort agencies there, which would make it easier for you to choose to transport them.
Five days later, they arrived at the Peony City, which is famous for its peony flowers. Changfeng asked about the rich fragrance of peony when he was outside the city. When they entered the Peony City, they were drowned in the ocean of peony flowers. Changfeng didn't know much about flowers. Although Guo Huai was knowledgeable, he was also an outsider to the flower. Not to mention Niu Gao and others, it was equivalent to playing the piano for the cow.
They only stayed in Mudan City for a day and couldn't stay anymore. After leaving Mudan City, Changfeng and others turned to the north, walked around Qiuju City, and then turned around and went west to enter the most sacred area of the Dian people, the Tianlong Mountains. It is said that this is the location of the Dragon Vein of the Dian Kingdom, and at the foot of Tianlong Mountain is the capital of the Dian Kingdom, Dianjing.
Changfeng and others left like this with only one purpose. He wanted to meet Master Tianlong, what does this monk who is as famous as his master look like? By the way, he asked some martial arts questions.
With his continuous efforts, a small part of the meridians that were blocked in Changfeng's body had been opened. The true energy is getting stronger and stronger, and he is becoming more and more skillful in controlling it. I believe that as long as I practice diligently, it is only a matter of time to restore martial arts.
After going down the mountain, Shui Ningxin did not enter Dianjing again, but went straight north and then passed through Dianbei Pass and entered the Dugu Dynasty. After a month and a half of running around, she came to Wangyue City.
She had already arrived at the place she wanted to come, and she began to hesitate. Should she go to see Cao Ruifeng, what should she say after meeting him? Could it be that I want half of your husband, are you willing to?
There were still many disciples along the way, but given Shui Ningxin's strong strength and the powerful master behind him, Shui Ningxin did not encounter much trouble.
Wen Yu, who was far away in Dian Kingdom, learned that Shui Ningxin had left Dian Kingdom and went to Dugu. Apart from melancholy and sighing, he felt that he had no choice but to have no choice but to have no way to do it. Wen Xue had not done it, so he had to give up the idea of going to Dugu and concentrate on completing the explanation of the Loulan court and the Ghost Face True Lord.
It was already April, and the weather was getting warmer. Lou Wuyun's 200,000 troops were divided into three groups and had already reached the bottom of Loulan City. The walls of Loulan City were high and harder, which was far more difficult to attack than Yiyang Pass.
The Loulan court did not care about the safety of the border and drew 80,000 soldiers from the border to cooperate with the city defenders who were still among themselves. They barely withstood Lou Wuyun's offensive, and the two sides once again fought a new confrontation under the city of Loulan.
Lou Wuyun surrounded Loulan City on three sides. It was not so easy for the Loulan court to defend it. It was not a day to conquer Loulan City. It took about half a year. This war should not end, because Loulan City still had enough food. Besides, there was an army without Lou Wuyun on the west side, so it could be replenished from behind at any time. Lou Wuyun had no choice. She didn't have so many soldiers to surround her, leaving one side to give the people in the city a little hope. As long as this hope is still there, the people in the city will not fight for the Loulan court.
She already knew that Changfeng was no longer in Loulan. With Changfeng's departure, she cleared out the spies in the army, especially the spies in Hawk Eye, killing two birds with one stone. In fact, Lou Wuyun did not reach some agreement with the Ghost Face True Lord, but cleverly revealed Changfeng's whereabouts through the spies. This not only killed Changfeng and others with a knife, but also led to the spies in Hawk Eye, and they all caught them, causing the power of the Netherworld Sect in Lou Wuyun's army to suffer a devastating blow.
The person who once in his mind not only did not fade away because of his departure, but became more profound and clear. Every time he dreamed that Changfeng pointed at his nose and asked her: "Why did you kill me?" When he woke up, tears had already wet the entire pillowcase.
