Yu Qian stayed in Quyuan City for a few days. During this time, he felt very strange.
It was almost the same city as the Ming Dynasty, the same houses, and even the beds were similar. He ate the same dishes as the Ming Dynasty, and if he hadn't seen natives decorated completely differently from the Ming Dynasty as soon as he went out, he would have thought he had returned.
Ming Dynasty.
Although there are some differences from Daming, Yu Qian feels that his stay these days is still very comfortable.
Not only him, but other people are also very accustomed to living in this city.
But although this place is nice, it is not Yu Qian's destination.
Yu Qian went to find Qu Yuan, but Qu Yuan asked before he could speak.
"Brother Yu, are you still getting used to living there?"
"Get used to it!" Yu Qian nodded with a smile and sighed, "To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine that I can live like home tens of thousands of miles away."
Yu Qian's words were not to praise Qu Yuan, but his real feelings. He led a group of friends through the storm, escaped the pursuit of pirates, and came to live in a place very similar to the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he felt a sense of
A sense of happiness in the aftermath of the disaster.
"Hahaha, Brother Yu, just get used to living there." Qu Yuan said happily. .??.
Yu Qian smiled and nodded, and said, "But I came here this time to ask Brother Qu, when should we leave for Xinming?"
"Going to Xinming?" Qu Yuan glanced at Yu Qian strangely and asked puzzledly, "Since Brother Yu is used to living here, why are you rushing to Xinming? It's better to stay a little longer and wait until you have enough time to go.
?”
Yu Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at Qu Yuan. Although he didn't know whether Qu Yuan's words were sincere or had ulterior motives, he could not continue to live here.
"Brother Qu also knows that the purpose of my trip this time is to go to Xinming. Although Brother Qu's place is very good, if you want to live here, you can come back in the future, right? Anyway, I want to go there first
Xin Ming, right?"
After going to Xinming, I'm afraid he will never come back. Qu Yuan knew very well that his city was only somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty, but the Xinming city was completely copied from the Ming Dynasty.
Not only are the cities exactly the same, but even the people's customs, habits, clothing, food, housing and transportation are all exactly the same.
When Yu Qian arrived in the Xinming Dynasty, it was truly like returning to the Ming Dynasty!
Yu Qian saw that Qu Yuan looked very reluctant to leave, and immediately glanced at him and said lightly, "Since Brother Qu is busy with business, I won't bother Brother Qu with the lower class. We will leave and go to Xinming tomorrow. Thank you very much, Qu."
Thank you for your warm hospitality these days."
After saying that, Yu Qian turned around and left.
"Wait!" Qu Yuan quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.
Yu Qian turned around, looked at Qu Yuan with a smile and asked, "Brother Qu, do you have any other advice?"
Qu Yuan suddenly smiled bitterly, sighed and said, "I know that the temple here is small, so it's impossible to keep Brother Yu here. You want to go to Xinming, and I won't stop you. But Xinming is extremely far away from here, and it won't be easy for you to go."
.”
"No matter how far or difficult it is, I will go there!" Yu Qian said firmly, looking at Qu Yuan and smiling lightly, "I have crossed the sea and traveled tens of thousands of miles to get here. Brother Qu doesn't think that I will give up easily, right?"
?”
Qu Yuan nodded, of course he knew that Yu Qian would not give up.
With a long sigh, Qu Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Yu, it's not easy for you to go to Xinming."
"I said, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely go." Yu
Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at Qu Yuan.
Qu Yuan quickly waved his hand and said with a helpless smile, "Brother Yu, you misunderstood. Since you want to leave, I have no intention of forcing you to stay. What I mean is that if you want to go to Xinming, this road will not work."
very smooth."
Only then did Yu Qian realize that he had misunderstood Qu Yuan. He quickly apologized to him with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Qu. I misunderstood. I don't know what you mean when you say that this road will not be smooth."
"Come!" Qu Yuan waved towards Yu Qian.
Yu Qian hesitated for a moment and stepped forward.
Qu Yuan took Yu Qian to sit down at the stone table, smiled at Yu Qian and said, "Brother Yu, you must not know how far this place is from Xinming, right?"
Seeing Qu Yuan's expression, Yu Qian's heart sank suddenly. It seemed that this distance would be farther than he imagined.
Taking a deep breath, he cupped his fists and said to Qu Yuan, "I really don't know. Please tell me, Brother Qu."
Qu Yuan nodded slightly, and drew on the stone table with his hand dipped in water, "This is our city, this is Xinming. I don't know where Brother Yu wants to go, but even if it is to the border of Xinming, there are several
Thousands of miles away.”
"So far?" Yu Qian was startled. He originally thought that it was only a few hundred miles away from Xinming, or a thousand miles at most.
"If Brother Yu wants to go to Xinming Capital, it will be even further away." Qu Yuan added.
Yu Qian pondered for a moment, looked up at Qu Yuan and said, "Even if it's thousands of miles away, I'm going to go. Just now, Brother Qu said that this journey won't be smooth. What do you mean?"
Qu Yuan had already made up his mind about Yu Qian and did not persuade him to stay.
He nodded slightly and continued, "Brother Yu wouldn't think that there would be no one at all in these thousands of miles, right?"
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and somewhat understood what Qu Yuan meant. It is impossible for such a large piece of land to have no people on it. Since there are people on it, the question is whether the other party is willing to let Yu Qian and others pass smoothly!
"Brother Qu means that the people here will stop me?"
Qu Yuan nodded solemnly and continued to explain, "Actually, there are several huge tribes in the middle. If you want to go to Xinming, you must pass through these tribes."
"The tribes that are close to me should be relatively friendly. With me coming out, they won't make things difficult for you. But"
Afraid of saying "but" in everything, Qu Yuan tapped his fingers heavily on the place close to Xinming and said, "The tribes here are very hostile to the Xinming people. After all, the land now occupied by Xinming is from
They grabbed it from their hands. Even at this moment, the war between Xinming and these tribes has not stopped."
"As long as they see someone with a face like Brother Yu's, they will attack and kill him without hesitation!"
Hearing this, Yu Qian frowned tightly, looked at the pictures painted by Qu Yuan on the stone table, and asked doubtfully, "Since there are tribes that hate us here blocking it, can we find another place where we can pass through?"
Where is Xinming?"
"No!" Qu Yuan shook his head without hesitation, and drew a horizontal line on the stone table with his finger, "Xinming's territory extends straight from the west coast to around the Five Great Lakes. As long as it is a tribe that borders Xinming
, are very hostile to Xinming. Even if you go north along the coast to Xinming, you can't go around it!"
"Unless", Qu Yuan hesitated.
"Unless what?" Yu Qian asked quickly.
"Unless you have a boat to cross over from the sea, you can avoid it!" Qu Yuan shook his head and sighed. This is the only way.
