In the evening, Ehuang came to see Yuzai and heard about things in the west. Yuzai did not wonder where she heard it from. After all, the old prince "Hua" could tell him those things. It was obviously Di Fangxun who asked him to come.
That said, as for the Emperor of Heaven himself, he is busy attending public lectures.
"Don't worry too much. The firearms I spent so many days tinkering with in the big ironworks were specially prepared for the people of Xirong. I really don't underestimate them. You can see this time when I hit Sanmiao. I am very stable.
"
Emperor E was dissatisfied with Yu Zai's contempt for Xirong, but Yu Zai said that he never looked down on the other side, and that he valued them completely, otherwise he would not have developed these powerful weapons.
The existence of the wild kings in the four directions is to a large extent the ancient version of the "feudal system". However, this kind of enfeoffment is the local recognition of the central government, rather than the central government sending princes down to the local areas to manage land and power. This kind of large kings govern the small kings.
The governance methods are very primitive and inefficient, and they do not help much with the integration of land, culture, and population.
Although the Four Wastelands recognize the Central Plains as the co-owner, they still play their own games behind closed doors. Except for Dongyi, who fights with the Huaxia Department every day for business, the other major alliances are not thinking about occupying the mountains all day long.
Be the king, or think about how to overthrow the current boss and become the boss in the world.
Just like more than thirty years ago, when the Miao family ruled the Sanmiao people, they oppressed the small tribal people in the fiefdom. So the Central Plains sent people to hold people accountable and told them not to mess around in the fiefdom. The Miao family led the original three
The Miao Alliance openly challenged the Central Plains and proclaimed itself the King of Li and Miao, saying that I have the final say in my territory!
Then he was beaten by Emperor Yao and ran to Dongting Lake. Comrade Emperor Yao showed up and pointed at the Miao family, saying that it seems that you can't decide on your territory.
There are mountains and seas all over the world, asking who is the father.
After listening to Yu Zai's analysis, E Huang also felt that it made sense. She added: "I am not proficient in military affairs. I will not go back to the north this time. I will leave you a thought here, and I will not leave you.
The blurring in front of your eyes will save you from panic when you go to see Marquis Xuan."
Yuzai: "What are you talking about? My relationship with her has not developed to your level yet."
Emperor E laughed:
"If we really launch a conquest against Gonggong and Dihong and open up the wilderness of Tianmu, this will be a gift to save the country. As you said, there is no way for someone who is handsome to repay the favor with his body.
, if you are not good-looking, then I will repay you by working as a cow or a horse in my next life."
A handsome boy is called a gentleman, and an ugly boy is called a strong man.
Yu Zai spoke decisively: "Then why don't you say that if the other person is ugly and I am handsome, then it would be repaying kindness with enmity."
Emperor E: "?"
She bared her teeth and suddenly asked, "What do you think of me?"
Yuzai purred twice.
What, you married here, that's called blaming others, fat water, no, the trouble is diverted to the east
Of course, Ehuang also pointed out a problem in his ridicule, that is, this trip to the north will probably take longer than the last time. The battle against Xirong is not a simple matter. There are many tribes in the Western Wilderness, and Yu Zai
The last time I went to Kongtong Mountain and arrived at Helan Mountain, what I saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
The land in the Western Meridian of the Great Wilderness, the so-called Great Western Wilderness, includes starting near Kongtong Mountain and extending to the weak water flow sand, Yuyuan Shibuya, and the weak water flow sand in the northwest sea, which is the Juyan Sea.
In this era, there was abundant water vapor, and there were not many deserts and barren places. In the current era when the Yellow River often erupts with great floods, and in later generations, most of the vast deserts are still vast mountains and fields, with swamps everywhere, cattle and sheep.
They are in groups, and the mountains are lush and green.
"I don't know how many years have passed since I went there. I once asked Teacher Chi Songzi about the secrets of the Qi Refiner, but I always felt that there was a barrier blocking me, preventing me from concentrating my Qi. I still have to try again."
Emperor E said this to Yu Zai, and said: "A hundred years from now, you want to take me to see the sunflowers blooming in that distant land. What will the flowers that grow and turn toward the sun look like?"
?”
Yu Zai stood in front of Ehuang and said with a smile: "If you regard the brilliance of the sun as petals, that's probably it."
"Also, it's not a big deal if I can't refine my energy. I happen to be going to the north to hold an important position this time. According to what you said, I might have to fight against the Rong people in the west. That's just right. It's said to be one of the origins of the Immortal Grass.
It’s in the wild wilderness of the West.”
Emperor E laughed and said that Ruanzai was just imagining things. If there really was an elixir, it would have been eaten by some leader or monster in the Western Wilderness. That was the Western Wilderness, a chaotic place in the world where humans and gods coexisted and everything danced together.
.
However, Ruanzai took her hand and patted it.
"Some things cannot be completed in one go. They have to be divided into many times. Life is still very long. I said I would go see the sunflowers in a hundred years. In fact, why do I need a hundred years? That is just a promise. Well, you know,
I always leave some room for my words. If I say ten years, it's not enough. Twenty years may still not be enough. If I want to say fifty years, I'm afraid it won't be enough, so I simply leave a little more room, so let's say one hundred years."
Ehuang burst out laughing, and Nuzai also laughed, but then said: "There are many strange things in this world that you haven't seen. Do you remember those little stories I told Luo Shen? In fact, they are all
real."
"One hundred years, thirty-six thousand five hundred days, you can still go to many places with me."
Emperor E counted the numbers and suddenly sighed: "No, when you say this, it will feel really urgent in a hundred years."
Yu Zai couldn't help but laugh: "You can't think like that."
So he took a deep breath and told Emperor E: "You have to think like this."
"The sun and the moon will rise thirty-six thousand times and set thirty-six thousand times. When a pessimist sees this sun and moon, he will say that the sun and moon will rise more and more, and his years will become less and less.
, and optimists will say it’s great, it has risen so many times, and I still have a lot of time to use.”
Ehuang looked at Yuzai thoughtfully, and Yuzai's next words made her laugh out loud.
"But when Danzhu sees the sun and moon rising, he will start to curse, saying why the sun is so dazzling!"
The two sat down leaning on each other. The woman's curious inquiry sounded in the room, and the man's voice was happy to answer:
"Then, is there really a place to build a huge pyramid at the end of the west?"
"Of course it's true. I heard a traveler who came back from the west say that the gods that the people of that country worship are similar to those of Dongyi in the past. They all look like Guzi."
When the sun sets and stars begin to fill the sky, young men and women count the stars. The bright fireflies appear on the human summer night and fall lightly among the flowers and trees.
The summer, when all things are grand, quietly rises here. The cicadas chirp in the sky and the earth, and the people who catch the sound are left in the sky.
