Chapter 846 About... parting.

It's winter again, which means another year has passed.

On the shore of Lake Baikal, covered in silver, it is as beautiful as a fairyland. Bi Qing is sitting in front of the big tent, dressed like a bear, with a fluffy hat on her head. She looks very cute. She holds a stick in her left hand. Master made candied haws, holding a cup of sweet milk tea in his right hand.

After taking a sip, refreshing warmth rises from the stomach.

"Don't stare, you'll be blind."

Gu Tao came out and patted her dog's head. Bi Qing raised his head and looked at Gu Tao: "Why is master blind?"

"Snow blindness." Gu Tao sat on the wooden stake next to him and took a deep breath of the cold air: "It's too much for my eyes."

"Oh... I see." Bi Qing sighed, "Master."

"Say."

She raised her head anxiously, glanced at Gu Tao, and then hesitated to speak several times.

"Just say anything."

"Master...is it...after you go back, you are going to leave?"

"Yeah." Gu Tao nodded and said, "It's time to go."

Although Bi Qing had always known that separation would happen sooner or later, when she heard these words unexpectedly, she actually felt quite uncomfortable. She lowered her head and sighed, then raised her head again and looked at Gu Tao: "Master, why don't you leave? ? I will provide for you until you die."

Gu Tao didn't answer, just took a sip of the milk tea, and then turned the bonfire in front of him, and there was a crackling sound from inside, accompanied by the smell of smoke and fire permeating the air.

"Teacher understands...then will you come back?"

"Not sure, maybe."

Bi Qing stopped talking, but she has never been so eager to slow down the time as today, so that she can stay by Master's side for a longer period of time.This journey, from last spring to this winter, has been going around for almost two years, and she has experienced things that no one else can experience in a lifetime.

Witnessed and even personally experienced the relocation of the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, witnessed the Song Dynasty taking back the land of Yanyun, witnessed the battle between Mongolia and Han, and also witnessed the aloof Mongolian Khan being pressed to the ground and beaten.

Experienced wind, frost, snow and rain, also experienced grass growing and warblers flying, saw the vastness of the world and tasted unimaginable food before, saw the beauty of Lake Baikal like a fairyland, and saw the wolves living like purgatory.

I have learned a lot, and I have forgotten a lot, but generally speaking, the gains outweigh the losses. The master's profound knowledge is completely different from those old scholars who can only memorize. He never taught how to be a person, but only taught the laws of operation of the way of heaven and earth .

Over time, Bi Qing felt that she had grown up a lot more than before, and had become more low-key and humble. Although she was still a little proud, it would never be because of factors such as being the daughter of a general or the wife of an emperor, but because she had a knowledgeable person. , the omnipotent master, and this master taught her many, many things.

The cold wind blew far away, and Bi Qing couldn't help but tighten his clothes. Gu Tao took out a potato from the fire and handed it to Bi Qing. This thing had been given to Bi Qing. Three fresh potato seeds, as well as corn and pepper seeds were given to her. Gu Tao said they were parting gifts, but Bi Qing didn't know that this parting gift would be what tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty would rely on to survive when natural disasters struck. Following the main ration.

"Master, what if the apprentice misses you?"

"When I grow up, I won't think about it anymore." Gu Tao said nonchalantly while eating hot potatoes, "No one can stay with you forever, and you should deal with some things by yourself."

"I understand...Master, when will we return?"

"Hurry back to Lin'an years ago, and send you back safely."

"Ah?" Bi Qing was stunned for a moment: "There are still a few days...but we are thousands of miles away."

Gu Tao remained silent, and after getting along with each other these days, Bi Qing understood very well what the master's appearance meant. This meant that he actually already had a way. Under normal circumstances, as long as the master had a way, he would definitely be able to achieve it.

Three days later, with fourteen days left before the New Year's Eve, Gu Tao began his return journey.Bi Qing calculated that it was about ten thousand miles away from Lin'an City. If he had to rush back to Lin'an City in these ten days, wouldn't he have to travel thousands of miles a day?
In this winter, it is extremely difficult to rush eight hundred miles, but traveling a thousand miles in a day is simply... unimaginable.

But what Bi Qing felt was impossible, but it was easy for Gu Tao. Their carriages are not carriages. Bi Qing feels that these horses don’t need to rest or eat. They only took one day. People brought Temujin Dahan's ears from Beihai.

When Temujin heard that the evil star had returned, he was really sullen after losing a battle, but he was not easy to get angry. After all, why did he lose to Song State in the battle of Yunzhou?Isn't it because this guy lost his [-] elite soldiers?One hundred thousand, what kind of concept is that?That was all the strength accumulated on the prairie for ten years, and now there was nothing, and even after the beginning of spring, he didn't know how to deal with Song's army.

But Gu Tao didn't care about this. After he added some food and water and rested in the city for a day, he started to continue his journey. In another day, they arrived at Xilinhot, the later generation, and there they went again. After a little trimming, we arrived in Harbin on the third day.

This speed made Bi Qing feel as if she was flying through the clouds. In the first two days, she vomited completely, and then she got better, but as long as she looked outside the carriage with particularly good heat preservation facilities, she would definitely continue to vomit. At the end of vomiting, Gu Tao had to stop for her to rest for a few hours before going on the road.

"Master...why can this carriage run by itself?"

"The old horse knows the way."

if not?How else to explain it?Tell her that this carriage looks like a carriage, but is it actually a bionic cargo robot?The maximum speed in one day is more than 500 kilometers. If it weren't for the fear that it would be too much for him, would he be able to reach Hangzhou in a little more than a day?It was strange that she had to drag Gu Tao to ask endless questions.

After arriving in Jinshangjing, the first year of grain winter has passed here, and the second year of recuperation has begun. It can be clearly seen that many villages have begun to gather outside the city. Although a large number of fields are covered with snow, But well organized.The faces of the patrolling soldiers no longer looked as cheerful as last year, and the faces of the villagers who occasionally saw going out for shopping also showed smiles and relief.

After returning here again after a year, Wanyan Jing received the news a long time ago and prepared drinks for Gu Tao to wash away the dust.

Seeing this emperor who is much younger than Gu Tao again, his mental state is much better, he even looks younger than last year, and his imperial concubine gave him another son in winter, he saw Gu Tao The first thing he did was to ask Gu Tao to give his youngest son a name.

Gu Tao didn't tell him that he was actually a bad namer, but for the sake of face, he still had to choose the name, so he simply waved his hand and named it Ginseng...Wanyan Ginseng.If it were someone else, Wanyan Jing would have to have someone pull him out and chop him up, but this is Gu Tao... So Wanyan Jing engraved the name of Wanyan Ginseng into the family tree with great joy.

"The Kingdom of Jin is rich in ginseng, and this ginseng is a good thing." Wan Yanjing said with satisfaction: "I hope this child can help my family prosper."

Speaking of this, he began to talk to Gu Tao about the changes in the Kingdom of Jin this year. First of all, the trade and intermarriage between the Song and Jin countries became more frequent. The Kingdom of Jin relied on the rich products between the white mountains and the black waters. A trade balance has been formed with the State of Song, and this year is another bumper harvest. In addition to being self-sufficient in food, a large part of it can be returned to the State of Song as debt capital.

As the conflict between Mongolia and Han intensified, the supply lines here in the Jin Kingdom became indispensable to the Song Dynasty. Even the large number of roads that the Jin Kingdom built in compliance with Gu Tao's previous advice brought huge logistics benefits to the Jin Kingdom.

"Brother, you are an outstanding talent for governing the country that will never be seen in a lifetime... Hey, if you are willing to stay here, it doesn't matter if I share half of my kingdom with you."

Of course Gu Tao would not want Wanyan Jing's world, this thing, the structure is too small and there is no passion, neither power nor money is enough to attract Gu Tao, he is noncommittal, just drinking with a smile.

Wanyan Jing also knew that her words were of no use, so she just picked up the glass and drank silently.

Naturally, he wasn't joking, let alone probing, if he could really keep this person in the Kingdom of Jin, let alone entrusting him with half of the country, so what if it was a co-government of the world?In less than three years, the Kingdom of Jin is estimated to be able to take control of the Central Plains again, and it is not impossible to even see the world ruled in Wanyanjing's lifetime.

But... Immortals have their own way of immortality, and people are obviously unwilling.

Sighing silently, Wanyanjing raised her glass: "Do it!"

After staying in Jinshangjing for a few days, Gu Tao went on the road again. This time, Wan Yanjing did not ask Gu Tao when he would be back, because he is a smart person, and he could clearly feel that he came this time with a farewell or even a farewell mean.

"When can we meet again, it's fate."

Before leaving, it was still the ten-mile long pavilion. Gu Tao still used the same rhetoric, but this time he added one sentence: "Leave that small house to me."

"must."

Riding his horse away, Wan Yanjing watched Gu Tao leave again in the wind and snow with his hands behind his back, but this time he didn't stay for too long, but hurried back, after all...it's too cold .

Speeding all the way to the south, the entire region has undergone considerable changes in this year. The most obvious thing is that because of the trade between Song and Jin Dynasties, a large number of people gathered around the trade transfer stations, and gradually formed spontaneously. City.Although it seems very crude now, it won't be long before this place becomes the location of the New Silk Road, and will even go all the way north to North Korea and other places.

The further south you go, the more green plants there are, and Bi Qing becomes more and more uneasy...
-
It's strange to say that these days, I always feel that I have no inspiration and I feel a little tired...
