The most difficult system to open in history

"It doesn't matter whether you are a human race, or whether you are a man or a woman. The important thing is that you and I will meet again soon."

In the city of Shenjing, the drizzle of rain brings the breath of spring, and it is floating on the ground. In the streets and alleys, there are umbrellas of different colors, which add a lot of beautiful colors to this busy first city. .

In a small alley in the middle of Xiongcheng, a tall young woman with an umbrella in one hand and fresh food in the other walked gently on the slightly water-logged stone road.

The woman's face is fair, with two slightly slanted eyebrows above her eyes, and wearing a white monk's uniform, she looks full of heroism.

"Have you all been to the official offices in the Taiping Ruins?"

"Of course I've been there, and I bought six scrolls in one go. Although I feel distressed, the mother-in-law and children at home have never traveled far in their lives. Now that they have the opportunity, they naturally want to take them out to see the world. Let's discuss where to go first."

"It seems that you are rich and powerful, Brother Sun."

"Where is!"

The voices of pedestrians communicating with each other came to her ears, and Miss Yanqing narrowed her heroic eyes slightly. The word "official place" kept coming into the girl's ears these days, and she couldn't help but aroused a little curiosity in her heart. In his heart, he secretly thought that he would find some time to go to the Taiping Ruins later.

But just as Miss Yanqing was thinking, a carriage came slowly from behind and stopped at the side of the former, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a gentle and pleasant young woman with a smiling face.

The young woman's complexion was ruddy, her eyes squinted, she waved to Yan Qing with a smile, and said:

"Sister Qing'er, are you going home? I'll come up and give you a ride."

The young woman is the daughter-in-law of Miss Qing'er's neighbor. Ever since Li Yi brought the young man with tuberculosis back to Canglan City, the relationship between the two families has been very close, but facing the former's kind invitation However, Miss Qing'er shook her head and said softly:

"Miss Qiaoqiao, it's not far from home here, and walking in the rain is a special experience. You know that in the south, there is a saying that spring rain is as expensive as oil."

After saying this, the young woman in the carriage pondered for a few breaths, then directly opened the curtain and jumped off the carriage, stepped forward to take the vegetable basket from Miss Qing'er's hand, continued to smile and said:

"Since spring rain is as expensive as oil, I also want to take a walk in this spring rain after Sister Qing'er said so."

Chapter 0804 Before the Expedition

In the middle of Shenjing City, in that small alley, in the continuous spring rain, two pretty figures held an umbrella together and walked side by side, while a carriage slowly followed behind them.

The umbrella is not big, and the drizzle, together with the faint breeze, is floating on the skirt of the girl's exposed clothes. This is an extremely warm and beautiful picture.

The clothes are wet with apricot blossom rain, and the face is not cold with willow wind.

The two girls walked slowly on the bluestone slabs without heavy footsteps, then the young woman named Qiaoqiao looked at the girl Qing'er beside her, blinked her eyes, and asked softly:

"Sister Qing'er, guess where I went just now?"

Since Qiaoqiao's husband, under the treatment of the Linglong Sect in Canglan City, although his tuberculosis has not been completely eradicated, but his condition has basically stabilized and is improving, the smile on this gentle and virtuous little daughter-in-law's face has also become more and more serious. The more she got, the more lively her temper became. After thinking about it for a while, Miss Qing'er responded softly:

"The official premises of the Taiping Ruins?"

"It turns out that Sister Qing'er also knows about the official office. I thought that Brother Li is out these days, and sister, you don't hear anything outside the window."

Qiaoqiao's eyes narrowed, and then the excited voice continued:

"The most lively place in our Shenjing City these days is the official office that just opened. The scene is really grand. I squeezed in it for a long time before I could buy this scroll with teleportation ability. It is said that besides selling scrolls , there is also a second floor specially opened for monks, but I am not a monk, so I have no chance to see it."

After the voice fell, Qiaoqiao stretched out her white fingers and tapped her chin lightly, as if she had thought of something, she continued to speak:

"If it wasn't for the opening of the government office just now, and my family's body still needs to rest, I really want to take him to see, but the female Bodhisattva of the Linglong Sect said, wait until the end of spring to go for treatment, and the tuberculosis will be completely eliminated. It can be cured, and I can go wherever I want when the time comes, this time I went to the official store to buy a lot of scrolls, everything is ready, just waiting for the end of spring."

After finishing speaking, on Qiaoqiao's ruddy face, squinted her eyes and revealed a big smile. It was the joy that everything is getting better, and it also represented the new hope for those who are going through suffering in this new era.

The most rare and precious thing in the world is hope.

Hearing Qiaoqiao's cheerful words beside her, Miss Qing'er also showed a sincere smile, and then said softly:

"As long as you don't give up, there will be a time when all hardships will come."

"Actually, our family is most grateful to Brother Li Yi and Sister Qing'er. If it weren't for you, everything would not have gone so smoothly. There is no way to repay the grace of saving lives."

"Qiao girl, what are you talking about? In fact, it is Your Majesty who you should be grateful for. We are just doing it with a little effort, but Your Majesty has turned the world around and has great powers."

Qing'er shook her head, and after the response came out, the two looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, the two of them came to the gate of Qiaoqiao's house. When they parted, the grateful young woman continued to invite her to sit for a while, but was declined by Miss Qing'er. Because for some reason, the latter's heartstrings were slightly fluctuated, and he couldn't help speeding up the pace of going home.

Someone once said that lovesickness is actually an invisible thread, tightly connecting the two ends. If the lovesickness thread is violently moved, then the people at the two ends will feel it.

When the heroic girl Qing'er came to the door of her small courtyard quickly, and saw the half-closed door, she laughed from the bottom of her heart, because the feeling that touched the heartstrings was not wrong, the love at the other end of the line People, back home.

The girl stepped forward and was about to raise her hand to open the door, but she frowned, because the unique and loud voice belonging to the fourth son of King Bei'an, Jiang Yue, came directly from the courtyard:

"Brother Li, I, the Wang Jiang family of Bei'an, have been guarding the Tianmen Gate for a long time, and that is the home field of my son. Don't worry, when you reach the extreme north, you will have everything you eat and drink on me. And Brother Li, you What I don't know is that Tianmenguan is divided into two cities, the north and the south, and the prosperity of the south city is no less than that of the god capital, especially the girl from the north."

Hearing this, Miss Qing'er's heroic eyes already showed a little anger, she directly pushed the door in, looked at the little prince Jiang Yue who was under the eaves, knocking on his legs, and asked coldly:

"Then what's so special about the women in the Northland?"

Under the eaves, Jiang Yue, who was tasting tea with Li Yi, was indeed a veteran who had been through many battles without changing his expression. Facing Miss Qing'er's aggressive questioning, he turned his head to look at Li Yi, who was expressionless beside him, with an expression on his face. Without red heart or beating, he said lightly with a serious face:

"Miss Qing'er is back. Your Majesty has an order to go to Tianmen Pass to carry out the military orders tomorrow. I happen to be very familiar with Tianmen Pass, so I am explaining it to Brother Li. As for the girl from the North, because Tianmen Pass is unbearably cold. , it’s inconvenient to take a bath, so they often don’t wash up, so stay away, yes, stay away.”

As soon as this remark came out, even Li Yi, who had a calm complexion, showed a little strangeness. It was really Jiang Yue, who somehow had a thick skin as unshakable as Sima Annan.

"Since the little prince listened to sister Yue's advice and became a well-known landlord in Shenjing City, his ability to speak eloquently has improved a lot. But since this is here, I just bought the ingredients, so I will cook for myself. I hope you will be sure." To reward face, eat all of them."

In the early years, Miss Qing'er was also the master of the rivers and lakes, so she confronted her tit for tat, and invited with a sneer, but this short sentence was extremely lethal, Jiang Yue's face suddenly changed, He stammered and said:

"This, this is about to leave Beijing and go north, and I haven't even spoken to the elder brother's ward. It should be, it shouldn't be."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yue, who was wearing a black robe, stood up slowly, walked quickly to the door, and rushed out, only the voice continued:

"This son will go back to the residence, but it's a pity that Miss Qing'er has no luck with the food. When I return from victory in the north, I will definitely eat it to my heart's content."

After Jiang Yue left, the young couple Li Yi and Yan Qing were left in this small courtyard. Then Li Yi stood up, with a gentle smile on his cold face, and embraced the girl in his arms. He said softly:

"I'm not at home these days, thank you for your hard work."

"I just heard from the little prince that he will go to war tomorrow?"

Yan Qing raised her head and looked at Li Yi's face with two long scars. A soft inquiry sounded, and then the latter nodded, and a calm voice came out:

"The snowmen in the north are a little restless. Let's go to the snowfield."

"When will you be back?"

"It's hard to say, but the time should not be long, and it can catch up with you and my banquet at the end of spring."

"it is good."

Miss Qing'er rested her head on Li Yi's chest, and then the soft voice continued:

"After you come back, accompany me to the official store in the Taiping Ruins to buy some teleportation scrolls, bring the two families to Shenjing City to attend the wedding banquet, and have a good time."

"This is very good!"

Chapter 0805 Frozen Hell

As the saying goes, spring rain is as expensive as oil, especially in the north where the summer is cold and freezing. The farmers who sowed the large tracts of land seem to be waiting for the continuous spring rain as a charge horn, and then they will all grow together. Thrive and get a good harvest.

But for Tianmenguan, the northernmost tip of the Great Xia’s boundless land, the drizzle is something that cannot be asked for. All year round, Tianmenguan is not only wind and snow, but also wind and snow, even under the three-year polar night in the snow field. Even sunlight is a rarity.

However, the people who came to Tianmenguan to do business have already adapted to the harsh climate that is very different from that of the Central Plains, especially the crowded and extremely busy southern city of Tianmenguan. The lights are burning in the darkness, illuminating the The whole world of ice and snow around.

Tianmenguan Nancheng Central Street, although not long ago, Tianmen Hou Jiangqing, the son of King Bei'an, led the northern army elite to clean up some big chambers of commerce in Nancheng from Beicheng, but the busy scene here is still unabated. The hunters and caravans who sell snow beast fur for a living put the trophies they have earned through hard work into horse-drawn carts, and then sell them all to the large chambers of commerce on the central street for huge profits.

However, it is worth mentioning that since some time ago, the Nanke Chamber of Commerce, which has always been buying snow animal oil at a low price, suddenly started buying snow animal fur at a high price, and the price is not low. There are more Tianmenguan merchants in the South Merchant Association than before, and they are more lively.

The middle-aged young woman who supported the huge chamber of commerce by herself, her husband went into the snowy field to do business in the study room on the top floor of the noisy first floor of the South Merchant Association, stood quietly with a cup of hot tea in her hand as usual. Beside the window, staring at the city below in the darkness illuminated by lights, then he opened his mouth softly, and a faint voice came out:

"Steward Wang, how is the fur purchase going these days? Can it reach the amount specified by the household department?"

The voice of the middle-aged young woman was as calm as ever, and then the steward standing in the corner of the study raised his hand and arched forward, and responded:

"Mrs. Hui, although the time given by the Imperial Household Department is a bit tight, but because my bid is much higher than that of ordinary chambers of commerce, as of yesterday, I have basically completed the amount given above, and earlier, there have been northerners. The army and an official from the household department came to count and check the collection, they were very satisfied and said a lot of words of encouragement."

In the corner of the study room, the old manager with white beard and hair responded with a hint of pride. It is true that he was praised by the officials of the Ministry of Households, which shows that this time the South Merchant Association has done a good job in fur collection.

Then Mrs. Fang by the window nodded and continued:

"It's so good. Master Jiang kept his promises, and his grievances and grievances are clear. Helping us to get on the line of the Ministry of Households can be said to have caught the eyes of the emperor. Therefore, this time is a great opportunity for our Southern Merchant Association."

The middle-aged young woman raised the steaming tea in her hand, took a sip, and after concentrating for a while, continued to speak:

"I was fortunate enough to be on the big ship of the court official's family by accident. If the head of the family returns with pearls, I will be surprised."

"Everyone below Madam's business ability can see it. No matter how the situation changes, they can always make the best judgment. If the master returns from the north, he will definitely say that praise for days."

Looking at Mrs. Fang's back in front of him, the senior steward showed a sincere smile, and said with a smile, he almost watched the South Merchant Association develop to its present scale, and he also regarded this large chamber of commerce, which is more prosperous in Tianmenguan, as a own home.

The old steward's words fell, and then Mrs. Fang's neutral voice sounded in my ears again:

"According to the days, the head of the family and the Chamber of Commerce should arrive at Liuli City soon. It is slow to go, but it must be much faster to return from Liuli City, but for some reason, since the past few days, my heart has been restless. Not coming down, this feeling is too tormented.

"When the line of the household department is completely stabilized, after the head of the household returns, I will have a good talk with him, and stop doing business in the dangerous snowfield."

After Mrs. Fang standing by the window finished speaking, the study room on the top floor of the chamber of commerce fell into silence. As one of the rapidly rising powers in the southern city of Tianmenguan, the Southern Merchant Association’s intelligence capabilities are not weak, so for the recent days of Tianmenguan and Shen Jingcheng's series of actions is also aware of, and there is a faint guess in his heart.

A great war is about to sweep across the Far North!

It is self-evident that the two armies are facing each other, and the situation of the South Merchant Association, which is caught in the cracks, is in crisis. Thinking of this, Mrs. Fang's face becomes more dignified, and the hand holding the teacup also quietly exerts force, and then continues to speak commanded:

"Focus on the movement of the northern army in Beicheng. God bless His Majesty not to send the army north so quickly. At least let the head of the family leave the entire whirlpool of Liulicheng."

"Yes, ma'am."

In the corner of the study, the old shopkeeper nodded in agreement, his complexion was also not good-looking, and then he seemed to think of something, after thinking for a while, he said softly:

"Speaking of the movement of the North City, the Lord Jiang Hou of the North City personally brought his personal guards into the South City earlier, and at the gate of the South City, he greeted a young man from the Central Plains, and called him Yuan Si Cheng, but the strange thing is, This young man did not bring a large number of followers, it can almost be said that he came alone."

After the voice of the senior steward fell, Mrs. Fang by the window turned around, narrowed her eyes and lost herself in thought, and murmured:

"Yuan Sicheng, young man?"

After thinking for a long time, a young name directly appeared in her mind, and then the middle-aged young woman suddenly raised her head, looked at the old shopkeeper and blurted out:

"Great Xia Teleportation Division Cheng Yuanbai, shoulders the important task of placing the teleportation stone tower. When he comes to Tianmen Pass, it means that Shenjing City will send a large number of people here. In other words, the White Emperor Palace will attack Xueyuan. Faster than anyone imagined.

"These cold-proof animal skins purchased at Tianmen Pass were not sent to Shenjing City, but were sent directly to Beicheng for combat!"

"Ah!"

Just as the face of the female shopkeeper of the Southern Chamber of Commerce changed suddenly, a young sneeze sounded from inside a carriage surrounded by heavy soldiers on the iron-blooded Beicheng Avenue at Tianmen Pass, followed by another calm and stern voice from inside the carriage. Inquiry for:

"Yuan Sicheng comes from the south where the seasons are warm. The weather at Tianmenguan is still too cold, so you should dress warmly."

"It's okay, it's okay, it must be my lady in Shenjing City who is missing me."

Inside the carriage, the pale-faced Yuan Bai shrank back, gritted his teeth that were rattling from the cold, and showed an extremely ugly smile, but secretly groaned in his heart:

"Could this place be hell? It's freezing all over!"

Chapter 0806 Everything is ready

At Tianmen Pass, the sun has not yet risen for only a few hours, so the entire sky is still shrouded in endless darkness. Compared with the crowded and extremely busy Nancheng, this is only the Jiang family's children and the Northern Army's Beicheng. Definitely another world.

Iron blood, order, and the frontier Xiongguan full of killing intent!

On the flat and firm ground of the northern city without any snow, at intervals, there are flaming torches standing upright, emitting bright light to the surroundings. Shining armor illuminated, reflecting blinding light.

On the central avenue of Beicheng, in the carriage protected by heavy soldiers, a middle-aged man, wearing a blood armor, with a cold and handsome face, Tianmen Hou Jiangqing, staring at the front, shrunk into a ball, teeth chattering A look of interest flashed in the eyes of the noisy young man.

In the induction of this iron-blooded lord, Yuan Bai's body can be called weak, so he is extremely uncomfortable under the severe cold of Tianmen Pass. According to Daxia Central Plains, he is a typical weak person. scholar.

But Jiang Qing didn't dare to underestimate this young scholar, because in the hands of the young man in front of him, he controlled the most popular yamen in Daxia, the Teleportation Department.

The realm of no distance is a sage's method, but it is in the hands of this scholar. Just this point alone, no one in the whole Great Xia can underestimate it.

Looking at Yuan Bai's increasingly pale face, Jiang Qing opened the curtain of the carriage after a little thought, and said loudly to the outside:

"Come here, take one of the snow animal skins that the household department bought from Nancheng these days and show it to Yuan Sicheng. Sicheng came from Shenjing City, just to show His Majesty the color of the animal skin."

"promise!"

After Jiang Qing opened the curtains, a fierce and biting cold wind howled directly into the carriage, making Yuan Bai tremble violently, and at the same time held back the words of refusal that he was about to open his mouth to say.

The military discipline of the Northern Army is strict, so the efficiency is also extremely high. In less than a hundred breaths, a thick snow-white snow beast fur was directly sent into the carriage.

"Yuan Sicheng, this fur was a sword-toothed white tiger, a snow beast in the Dao Void Realm, and it has excellent heat preservation ability. If we and the northern army want to leave Tianmenguan and go north to the snow field, we also need this kind of animal clothing to keep warm, otherwise, under the extreme cold, The body can't take it either."

After Jiang Qing finished speaking, he handed out the heavy animal coat in his hand, and after Yuan Bai thanked him, he took the fur of the saber-toothed white tiger and put it on. He immediately felt warmer and his body stopped shaking.

Because the animal skin had just been peeled off for a short time, there was a rather strong smell of blood in the carriage, and it kept burrowing into the young scholar's nose, but the latter's face remained unchanged, and he sighed:

"Earlier when I received His Majesty's order in Shenjing City, I knew that this trip to the north would be difficult. I didn't expect it to be so cold here. I thought that Youzhou, located in the northwest of Daxia, was already cold enough. "
