There is a very high pass at this mountain pass, and it is full of monks wearing monk robes. The person who stopped me was a big man with a rough face. He looked at me from top to bottom and said: "Where are you from?
of?"
I shook my head and said, "He's from the Suzaku Kingdom."
He looked at me and said, "What are you doing here?"
I continued: "Do business.",
He continued to ask: "What kind of business are you doing?"
I whispered: "I haven't decided what business to do yet, but I plan to go to the city first to have a look."
At this time, a convoy came behind me, and I was stopped at the door. Another person went up to interrogate me, and the person who interrogated me also followed me. Now, no one cares about me, I am here.
wait.
This is a convoy transporting food. The trucks are filled with rice, which also comes from Suzaku City.
Customs clearance is a troublesome thing. People here have to carry all the rice down and check it. I personally saw a businessman stuff a small cloth bag into a person's hand. The person opened it, looked at it, and then took out one. It was a spirit bag.
stone.
He shook the small bag in his hand with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Let's go in!"
At this time, I realized that they seemed to have forgotten about me, or they just didn't care. After all, I won't get much if I walk on foot like this. Even if the Qinglong Kingdom is in chaos, it is still the Qinglong Kingdom after all. If they make things difficult for me,
He is probably afraid that I will go in and complain!
I followed the convoy and walked in. No one stopped me. As I walked in, I found that the businessman was still a little nervous. There were thirty carriages in the convoy. After each carriage entered the customs,
The businessman suddenly seemed much more relaxed.
He got on the horse next to him and shouted: "Let's go, try to get to Wucheng before dark, we must hurry up, it is already late today, and the weather is not good, if we can't get to Wucheng, we will be in trouble, this damn day,
It’s not going to rain!”
I looked at the sky, it wasn't a little cloudy or anything.
They walked in front, and I followed on foot. The merchant on horseback waited by the roadside for everyone to pass by, and then he followed behind on horseback. He said to me: "Friend, where are you going?"
I smiled and said, "I'm going to Luodu."
He looked at me and smiled and said: "Let's go quickly. If we can't reach Wucheng, we will probably have to sleep outdoors in the heavy rain tonight. It will be miserable. You can get in the car and sit down. Don't leave behind."
I smiled, said thank you, climbed into the car from the back, sat on the roof and looked into the distance.
The convoy accelerated, and the businessman brother kept following behind, urging him to go faster. Not long after, it began to rain lightly.
He shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up before the road is slippery, we must leave quickly."
The convoy began to run, and finally it reached a stone road. It seemed that a war had just occurred on this stone road, and the rain fell on the road, causing red blood stains.
The rice was covered with oilcloth, but everyone was drowned. Fortunately, we entered Wucheng before dark. After entering, the convoy rushed directly into a large car shop.
The big car shop was run by a couple. The cars were put into the carport, and the horses were unloaded and pulled into the livestock shed and fed with fodder.
We all checked into the room, dried ourselves and changed clothes. I came out and went outside to order food and drink. As soon as I sat down, the businessman brother came across from me carrying a wine bottle. After sitting down, he said: "
Brother, we are also going to Luodu, I think you should go with us."
I nodded and said, "That's fine! Brother Lao will take care of it."
The businessman's face was very thin, his cheeks were fleshless, his cheekbones were not high, and his eyes were bright. He didn't look very strong, but I always felt that this man was unusual. After he sat down, he ordered two dishes, then looked at me and said
: "Brother, how about we share a table?"
I smiled and said, "Okay, there's no point in me drinking alone."
Soon, the food and drinks were served, and we were chatting while drinking. He smiled and said: "In the past, this Wucheng was called the Kingdom of Wu. Later, almost everyone in the country was killed. That was a tragedy, but the enemy
No one died, do you know why?"
I thought for a while and said: "The enemy is too powerful!"
He smiled and said: "The enemy is the current Qinglong Kingdom. Except for the fact that the other three major kingdoms were of the same lineage, the Qinglong Kingdom had almost all the other effects absorbed by the Qinglong Kingdom. Therefore, the Qinglong Kingdom is the most powerful among the four major kingdoms.
It is the strongest and has the largest land area, but this is the only country that has not consumed a single soldier. The others still have to pay a price."
I thought for a while and said, "Why is this?"
He smiled and said: "Because the men of the Wu Kingdom did not resist at all and surrendered collectively."
The businessman finished speaking and said with a smile: "When the men of the Wu Kingdom went to war, the women gathered around the men on their way to the war. They were afraid that their men would die in the battle, so they hugged their men and cried. The men were all upset.
It was a pity that they were defeated without a fight. The people of the Qinglong Kingdom collected their weapons, imprisoned them all, dug a huge pit, and killed them all!"
I was a little confused and asked: "Why do the people of the Qinglong Kingdom hate the people of the Wu Kingdom so much?"
The businessman sighed and said: "The people of the Wu Kingdom insulted a queen of France back then. This queen was also a member of the Su family of the Suzaku Kingdom. When she passed by, she happened to be met by the prince of the Wu Kingdom. She fell in love with him at first sight and entangled her for several days.
He was not allowed to leave. Later, the queen sent someone to notify the Zhusu family, and then took the queen back. Since then, the queen has never dared to go back. Since then, the king has made a wish to kill everyone in the Wu Kingdom.
Man, take the queen home in all your glory."
I sighed and said, "He did it."
The businessman shook his head and said, "This is the saddest thing. When the king slaughtered all the people of the Wu Kingdom, left this pass, and reached the Suzaku Kingdom, he found that the people from back then were no longer there."
The businessman sighed and said: "Hey, now, the Holy Lord and the King are split, the Qinglong Kingdom is declining day by day, and the Suzaku Kingdom is rising again, I'm afraid things are going to change!"
I smiled and said, "What a pity for the Wu Kingdom. Women don't want their men to die in battle, but they still end up like this."
The businessman smiled and said: "You know what's the most ridiculous thing about the women of the Wu Kingdom? After all the men in the Wu Kingdom were executed, the women in the city didn't feel any sadness. They actually..."
