Marquis Wen placed the tea, flicked it with his hand, and said with a smile: "Lin Zhao, put your things down and take a seat. How about I treat you to a sip of our Baidi City's refreshing fragrant tea?"
Lin Zhao nodded, put down the bamboo box, and sat calmly opposite Marquis Wen, without any stage fright.
A pot of tea, full of aroma.
Marquis Wen glanced at the young man and asked, "How do you think of the people you've met along the way?"
Lin Zhaodao: "Marquis Wen needs me to tell the truth?"
"Well, just tell the truth."
"good."
The young man took a deep breath and said: "Everywhere along the way, people died of hunger and chaos broke out. Especially in the Yunzhou area, many people froze to death and starved to death."
"yes……"
Marquis Wen frowned: "What do you think will happen if this continues?"
"meeting……"
Lin Zhao originally wanted to say that the Great Chamber of Commerce would subjugate the country, but after thinking about it carefully it was not appropriate, so he said: "It would be very bad..."
Marquis Wen couldn't help but laugh. He could naturally understand Lin Zhao's caution and said: "There is nothing we can do about this. Three years of cold winter. This is caused by the will of heaven. It is a natural disaster. However, the four tribes in the north are ready to take action. There are thousands of monsters and demons.
Tens of thousands of troops may move south at any time. At this time, the human race is facing a disaster. What can we do? The entire chessboard is about to become a dead game. What can we, high-ranking and powerful people, do except fulfill our duties and obey fate?
The common people are suffering, and big businessmen are also suffering. In the final analysis, the family and the country are suffering, and it is inevitable."
Lin Zhao deeply agreed with this and said: "Marquis Wen is right."
"Have you been to Xijianjiang?"
Marquis Wen glanced at the young man and said with a smile: "Have you been to the Fusu Great Wall? With your level, you must have seen the heroic souls of the Xia clan who guard the land thousands of miles away, and even the group of Xia people on the Fusu Great Wall.
Those who refuse to surrender are hard-core people."
"Um."
Lin Zhao nodded.
Marquis Wen smiled and said: "Don't you think... the world of Dashang is a bit despicable?"
Lin Zhao frowned.
"Tell me the truth."
Marquis Wen said: "With me, you will not be punished for your words. You are a person sent by Chu Huaixi himself, and you are also a descendant of Qin Suihan, a great Confucian and Taoist sage. Even if I, Wen Shuoyang, want to move
You wouldn’t dare either.”
Lin Zhaodao: "If it is as I understand it, it would indeed be disgraceful for the Great Shang to win this world. It would be a disgrace to replace the Xia clan, and it is suspected that they won without force."
"Hahahahaha~~~~"
Wen Shuoyang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Which scholar in the Shang Dynasty dared to say these words? Everyone is afraid. Only in the distant snowy Tianchi can we hear this.
The truth."
Lin Zhao frowned, feeling that he had gone too far.
"actually."
Marquis Wen showed a smile and said: "What you are thinking in your mind should be the saying 'The one who steals the hook is a thief, and the one who steals the country is a prince'? In fact, this is the case, and there is nothing to say. But if you, Lin Zhao, had been earlier three years
Traveling around the world and looking at the world of the Great Shang Dynasty, you might not think so. Three years ago, the Great Shang Dynasty had a prosperous country and a prosperous people, with its iron cavalry spanning thousands of miles, and its national power reaching an unprecedented peak. These were all things that the Xia people wanted at that time.
If you can't do it, you think the conspirators have won the world, but conspirators can make the world better, can't they?"
"What now?"
Lin Zhao looked at Marquis Wen and said, "If the four northern tribes go south, will the Great Chamber of Commerce fight to the death? Or, will the Great Chamber of Commerce come with another Lingnan Alliance to cede territory to the Monster Tribe for peace?"
"This is not the time."
Marquis Wen narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "When the four tribes go south, I, the Great Shang, will fight to the end to defend the mountains and rivers of the human race."
Lin Zhao frowned and said: "If this is really the case, the world is very lucky and the human race is very lucky."
"Um."
Marquis Wen glanced at the young man with clear eyes and said with a smile: "I, Wen Shuoyang, will give you Lin Zhao a promise. When the demon tribe goes south, it will be the time when my great merchant goes north with the strength of the whole country. If you, Lin Zhao, and Xueyu
If Tianchi is in need, I, Wen Shuoyang, will definitely help me!"
"Thanks!"
Lin Zhao took a deep look at Marquis Wen. This Marquis Wen was the one who signed the Lingnan Alliance with the Monster Clan back then. This pact could be described as a century-old shame for the human race. Therefore, Wen Shuoyang was the governor of the northern territory and was known as "Marquis Wen" in the court.
, "Wendudu", but in the streets and alleys of Baidi City, everyone jokingly calls him "Wendudu". He has accomplished nothing and is a shame to the human race.
But now, Lin Zhao felt that this "Wen Dudu" might be trustworthy for once.
…
Afterwards, Lin Zhao handed over the Kanyu map and set off on the road carrying the bamboo box. Marquis Wen took a look at the contents of the boy's bamboo box. In addition to the Kanyu map, there were also two sticks of bacon and some pheasant meat frozen into ice cubes.
As well as some bottles and jars of sundries, they were all the young man's treasured possessions. For a moment, Marquis Wen's eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and he said to a guard: "Take Lin Zhao to our kitchen, any ingredients,
Any utensils are left to be taken by oneself.”
"Yes, Lord!"
Lin Zhao was slightly startled and hurriedly clasped his fists: "Thank you very much, Marquis Wen. I was just thinking of replenishing the food for the way back."
"Um."
Marquis Wen chuckled: "There are venison and silver phoenix meat in the mansion. They are all brought by the monks in the mansion. You can bring some of them with you. You can make a very good pot of broth with some seasonings. There are also some in the mansion.
You can also bring some of the fine grain white cakes, which are fragrant in the mouth. In addition, Captain Lin Zhao will take him to the racecourse after picking up the things and choose a thousand-mile horse for him."
"Yes, Lord!"
Lin Zhao thanked him again and left immediately.
…
"Junhou."
Behind Marquis Wen, an old man in purple robes appeared. He squinted at Lin Zhao's back and said with a smile: "With such a stupid boy, is it necessary to talk so much or even express your feelings?"
"What to say."
Marquis Wen smiled faintly: "Some time ago, Chu Huaixi led his troops to ambush the front legion of the Great Demon Jade, killing eight thousand elite demons but with very little loss. This feat has never been achieved by our Great Shang Dynasty.
Do you know who advised Chu Huaixi to launch this ambush?"
"Could it be that he is this guy?"
"Exactly!"
Marquis Wen swept away the mist on the teapot with a flick of his sleeves and said with a smile: "Our spies in the snowy Tianchi returned the news that Lin Zhao is now the owner of the mountain top garden. It is Qozhi, Luoyang, Muzhen and so on.
The leader of the young geniuses of the Chen Dynasty, this time he sent Lin Zhao to travel around the world alone to deliver this dispensable map. What was his intention? This Chu Huai had always been careful with his calculations in the past, and in fact he had regarded Lin Zhao as his future.
The commander-in-chief of the Tianchi Army has come to train, and the Tianchi Army has restrained the northern occupation. Maybe... we will really have to rely on Lin Zhao to resist the four northern tribes from going south in the future."
The purple-robed old man smiled slightly: "I thought... Marquis Wen really admired this boy and wanted to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him!"
"So what if you appreciate it."
Marquis Wen said with a smile: "If Lin Zhao knows about my ambitions, Wen Shuoyang, and is like-minded with me, wouldn't this be a blessing in my life, Wen Shuoyang?"
…
Afternoon.
Lin Zhao raided the kitchen of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Of course he had to take away any delicious food. Now that it was freezing and snowy, he didn't have to worry about the food getting spoiled. He took it back to the mountain top garden and gave it to Xiao Shitou, so he could have some wine. Besides,
Maybe even those guys like Gaozhi, Luoyang, and Muzhen who have never tasted the delicacies of the Prime Minister's Mansion can try it.
When the bamboo box gradually became heavier and began to creak, Lin Zhao felt a little embarrassed when he saw the maids in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He immediately followed the captain to the racecourse to choose a thousand-mile horse. Taking advantage of the afternoon sunshine, he
He rode directly out of Baidi City.
Late at night, I arrived at the border of Yunzhou and rested for the night in a posthouse on the border.
The next morning, we set off on horseback again. Two days later, we arrived at Shanhaiguan. After staying at Shanhaiguan again, we set out in the early morning. The horses traveled very fast. In the evening, we arrived at the Fusu Great Wall before the sun went down.
Wearing a green cloak, covering his face, and a bamboo box hanging on the side of his horse, Lin Zhao carried a long sword and walked directly through the city with his body bent, intending to leave the Fusu Great Wall unnoticed to avoid being beaten.
As a result, under the setting sun, when Lin Zhao passed through the city gate and entered the north of the Fusu Great Wall, a familiar figure stood on a flying sword in the air, his white skirt fluttering, looking at Lin Zhao from a distance.
Lin Wanhua, the most beautiful woman on the Fusu Great Wall.
"Lin Zhao!"
Lin Wanhua called out loudly.
Lin Zhao immediately hit his horse and drove off quickly. He had to go quickly to avoid being entangled by Lin Wanhua. Last time he broke Feihua's natal flying sword and felt guilty. This time, they couldn't meet each other even more.
"Lin Zhao!"
Lin Wanhua gritted her silver teeth in the air, her beautiful face showing anger, and some faint dissatisfaction. Why is this? Among the young elites in the entire Fusu Great Wall, whoever sees him is not full of kindness, who sees him?
If my eyes weren't shining, why would I, Lin Wanhua, turn into a ferocious look when I came to your place, Lin Zhao, as if I couldn't avoid you?
"Lin Zhao!"
She shouted again clearly, "Just wait, I will definitely go to the snowy Tianchi to find you in my lifetime!"
When the young man heard this, he felt even more guilty. He hurriedly hit the horse and disappeared on the horizon outside the Fusu Great Wall. There, only a straight line of horse hoof prints was left on the snow.
Lin Wanhua frowned slightly, even a little aggrieved. Why was he hiding from her? She wouldn't really kill him with a sword.
…
"Wanhua."
Behind him, a young man in red frowned and said: "Why bother with a despicable villain like Lin Zhao? Forget it, just pretend that he has never been here, why not...I will put it up at Mingyue Tower tonight.
A table to calm down?"
"roll!"
Lin Wanhua glared at the other person, "Do I know you? Who are you?"
The young master was angrily and hurriedly slid down the city wall to avoid embarrassment. I, the eldest son of the Zhou family, took advantage of Lin Wanhua's dejected moment to confess his feelings today but it was met with disgrace. What if this spreads out? Will he still be there in the future?
Fusu Great Wall is mixed up?
He ran all the way, worried about whether there was something wrong with his wording just now. He wanted to go back to Ye Lin to study it carefully and ask him to give him some advice.
After all, if we capture Lin Wanhua, it will definitely be a matter of honor for our ancestors.
