I am fish

Wei Tingxu maintained his usual pride, with a request that was hard to refuse.Zhen Wenjun couldn't stand her like this, he could only lament that Wei Tingxu was too cunning to be like this.

"How can I refuse you?"

"Then agree."

"It's really too dangerous. There are too many unknowns to go back to the road of Wanxiang. Once you leave the territory of Dayu, what you will encounter is not only unpredictable but also uncontrollable. It may be more dangerous than the Northern Xinjiang War." Zhen Wenjun no longer looked at Wei Ting Xu, avoiding her disappointed eyes, "Don't say it, I won't agree. Rest well, Zizhuo, I will concentrate on preparing for the south in the next few days, and I will come to you for inspection when everything is ready."

Zhen Wenjun knew that at this moment, he must be ruthless and leave quickly.If you look at Wei Tingxu more than once, you will feel unbearable.

Until Zhen Wenjun left, Wei Tingxu didn't say another word.

If you want to re-open the Wanxiang Road, you must first find the records of this road in the past, and the most important thing is to find the map left by the ancestors.Once you find the map, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

Now that Bu Jie was sent by her to find the origin of the black bird totem, she had left Runing for many days, and she didn't know where to start, so she thought of Axi.

Ah Xi has been to many places and knows a lot about Da Yu's landforms. I wonder if she can provide some clues about the Wanxiang Road.

Zhen Wenjun immediately set off for Axi's hometown, Liu County, a small county near the former customs.

"The road of all directions?" When I found Axi, he was sitting at the entrance of the village, eating a bowl of hot soup and pancakes.She watched the two Aunts play chess while eating, and she didn't find time to talk to Zhen Wenjun until one of them was defeated. When Zhen Wenjun mentioned Wanxiang Road, she immediately finished eating the soup cakes, put down the bowl and said solemnly, " Don't go, don't go, it's a road leading to the gate of hell."

"Ghost Gate?" Zhen Wenjun became more curious, "Did you mean Liuhuo Kingdom?"

A Xi pulled her into an alley, and said quietly: "Why do you think the emperors of all ages have not been able to reopen the Wanxiang Road? Everyone knows that the south is rich and prosperous, except for the most scarce food in Da Yu. In addition, there are spices, jewelry, all kinds of animals and plants that have never been seen before, and there are mechanical ingenuities that people in the Central Plains have never thought of. The silk and ceramics of the Central Plains are very rare in the southern Hu countries, and they can be sold in large quantities. Price. Tell me, what we all know, the high officials in the court, and the emperors don’t know? It took more than 50 years for the emperors of the previous dynasty to open up the Wanxiang Road, and sent three envoys to open the road. The result, until the end Only one person managed to open the road. Countless manpower and financial resources were spent before and after, and millions of corpses were buried on the Wanxiang road. In the end, due to the outbreak of war and financial constraints, it had to be interrupted. The previous dynasty was only in a prosperous age. What's going on in Dayu, the people can't get enough to eat, can the Empress agree?"

"I don't need the emperor to know, I will take people there myself."

"You?" Axi thought for a while, "Mr. Wen, you do have the ability to lead an army, but there are so many monsters and alien races on this universal road, and there are countless thieves and barbarians. I am afraid that even you will be difficult to deal with. Not to mention The country of Liuhuo is now. The country of Liuhuo is located in the desert, the daytime is hot like a stove, and the night is as cold as ice. It is very difficult to cross the desert to find this country, let alone do business with them. The envoys of the previous dynasty are also walking dogs Shit luck found the country of Liuhuo, but I still have doubts about the authenticity of this point. Who do you think will build their own city on the desert? Is this king not very good at thinking? The former envoy is No one really knows if we really arrived in Liuhuo Country or if we didn’t arrive at all, just made up some knowledge and returned to our mission. My father and I have really walked the ancient road of universal direction, and we want to find some There is no way to make money, and there is no way to go on. Wenjun, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. There is no map of the Wanxiang Road, let alone Liuhuo Kingdom. You can’t go south after leaving the border of Dayu Kingdom. If you travel thousands of miles, you will be buried in the wild."

"Axi, when you walked the Wanxiang Road, you must have a map, right?" Zhen Wenjun said, "That's why I came to you and wanted you to go with me."

Ah Xi immediately took three steps back to distance herself from her: "Don't talk such nonsense! How could I go with you!"

"So you really have a map?"

Axi: "...you lie to me!"

Zhen Wenjun laughed: "I didn't intend to deceive you, but who would have thought that you would be hit if you deceived me."

Axi turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Zhen Wenjun: "Don't go, Axi, don't you want to unlock the secrets of the Liuhuo Kingdom?"

"I don't want to." Axi turned her head and threw her away, and said firmly, "I'm not interested in the secrets of Liuhuo Nation. If you want to die, go by yourself and don't drag me. I don't want to know what Liuhuo Nation has. Secret, it has nothing to do with me!"

Since meeting Ah Xi, Zhen Wenjun has never seen her get so angry.Even though the former customs was suppressed at the beginning, and then Mengliang fought for more than half a year, and Ah Xi broke a leg in it, she didn't see how panicked she was. Every time she hid a dead body under the car, she escaped easily.There is a quality of great wisdom and foolishness in Axi.Zhen Wenjun discovered this a long time ago.Axi's survival in the chaos was not just luck, but a kind of ease.

"Ah Xi, your father is not a woodcutter at all, right?" Zhen Wenjun asked, "You didn't join the women's department because you were captured by the former customs, you just wanted to increase your military experience, right? Go back to Wanxiang The road is not just to find ways to make money, you have a deeper plan. You and your father are not ordinary people."

After Zhen Wenjun's words, Ah Xi's expression calmed down.

She watched Axi go back, picked up the bowl on the chessboard, went back to the house and scooped up another bowl of soup cakes for herself, knelt down to the small and broken wooden table and ate soup cakes silently.Zhen Wenjun knelt down opposite her and waited quietly without urging her to ask.

Ah Xi ate three bowls in a row, and when he couldn't eat any more, he put down the bowls and chopsticks, looked at the sunlight shining through the window, and said solemnly:

"Our ancestors of the Zhong family were very famous political strategists. At that time, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were all heroes. In addition to many saints who traveled to other countries to spread their schools of thought, there were also our ancestors of the Zhong family who lobbied and offered advice among the various princes to check and balance. Since After the previous dynasty unified the Central Plains, our Zhongshi declined. The rise of countless aristocratic families squeezed us to the edge. The Zhongshi never recovered, but my father still did not give up the integrity of the Zhongshi. He told me that as a vertical and horizontal The descendants of the family have to travel all over the mountains, rivers, five mountains and thousands of miles, so that they can live their lives in vain. He yearns for all the mysterious things on the Wanxiang Road. In my father's heart, Liuhuo Country is the most mysterious place, and I, It was born on the ancient road of the Wanxiang Road."

Zhen Wenjun thought of the connection between Axi and Wanxiang Road, but he didn't expect the connection to be so deep.

"My father met a woman in the ancient rhinoceros country, and the two fell in love with each other and gave birth to me. After I was born, people from the ancient rhinoceros country killed me and wanted to take my mother back. All women in their country must Marrying a man in the country must never combine with a dirty foreigner. Once someone does this, the entire ancient rhinoceros country will be punished by the gods. Only the blood of sinners can cleanse everything. My father didn't know it at the beginning This incident caused my mother to go back. After waiting for many days and she did not come back, she pretended to enter the ancient rhinoceros country and found that my mother had already died. She was drained of blood and thrown on the mountain. Her body was devoured beyond recognition. My father desperately snatched her body back, took her back to his hometown for burial, raised me in the former customs house, and told me about it when I became sensible. This It's just a small country on the Road of All Ways, they don't have any humanity at all. Barbarians like this are everywhere on the Road of All Ways."

"and then?"

"Then?" Ash said coldly, "He went back. Back on the road of Wanxiang, he must continue to move forward. Guxi is by no means his destination. The place he wants to reach is the country of Liuhuo. I once Walking with him for a while, all kinds of encounters along the way are absolutely beyond the tolerance of normal people, he didn't care about my life or death in order to move forward, and I didn't bother to care about him anymore, so I came back by myself."

Zhen Wenjun understood the mystery in Axi's words: "So, the Liuhuo Kingdom does exist, and it is very tempting, right? Your father just grasped the news of the Liuhuo Kingdom so that no matter what dangers he encountered, he would be determined. We need to dig it out." Zhen Wenjun was also very excited as he spoke, "What kind of place is Liuhuo Country? Can it really bring huge wealth after trade?"

Axi also approached her, and the two looked at each other for a while, Axi suddenly smiled and giggled.

"Their underground hides inexhaustible gold and jewels."

Zhen Wenjun's eyes brightened.

"Do you believe it?" Axi asked Zhen Wenjun with a strange smile, as if in a daze.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Wenjun was more fascinated than her: "I believe it!"

Axi stood up suddenly, almost overturning the case.

"I won't go, and I don't have a map. If you want to die, go." Axi dropped this sentence and left.

Ah Xi must have thought that his words could scare Zhen Wenjun away, but Zhen Wenjun, who has been accustomed to listening to the horror stories of his grandmother before going to bed since childhood, has no fear of cramping and peeling. Inexhaustible treasure" made goose bumps all over my body.This is what Zizhuo wants, and it is the biggest boost to the emperor's reform.

This is what Zhen Wenjun is for!

The treasure that Ash said was buried in the ground should be rich in minerals.Since it is gold, there may be mines and alluvial deposits of ancient river beds.No wonder the emperors of the previous dynasty tried their best to open up this road. The road leading to Liuhuo Country is a road to wealth!

The more Zhen Wenjun thought about it, the more excited he became, and he rushed back to Runing overnight, wanting to talk to Wei Tingxu about it directly.Walking to the door of Wei Tingxu's bedroom, he stopped again.Wei Tingxu is the same person as her, and will definitely be excited about it.Originally, she wanted to follow, but she finally forced it down. It is not something a smart person can do to provoke this matter on her own initiative.

Zhen Wenjun resisted not knocking on the door, turned to find Zuo Kunda, and asked him if he could go to Wanxiang Road together.

Hearing that Zhen Wenjun wanted to conquer Wanxiang Road, Zuo Kunda was very interested and wanted to go very much.But now that he has an official position, he can't leave Runing at will, which is quite regrettable.

Zuo Kunda's words reminded Zhen Wenjun of a very serious problem.

If Wei Tingxu didn't send someone to her and help her get someone from Li Yanyi's side, she could only go out alone.If you want to talk about business, you must bring some products that are unique to Dayu. You have to bring several carts of samples of silk ceramics and tea, and it is impossible for her to see them all by herself.It is possible to spend money to hire people to go there, but the quality of the hired people is uneven, and it is a problem whether they can help, not to mention that if there is something dangerous in the middle of the journey, everyone will disperse and run away. Even more dumbfounded.Those with high martial arts skills can be found, but they don't think much of Zhen Wenjun's little money.

It's best that Xiaohua can walk all the way, can carry shoulders and hands, and can kung fu, not to mention these things, as long as Xiaohua's burly figure stands in front of the chariot and horses, who doesn't have eyesight dare to come and die?

It is actually reasonable for Xiaohua to follow her to perform tasks. If Lingbi is still there, Lingbi stays in Runing to take care of Wei Tingxu, and Xiaohua can be free to go with her.

pity……

After thinking about it, Zhen Wenjun still has to find Wei Tingxu.

Walking back to the door of Wei Tingxu's study, Zhen Wenjun knocked on the door after a stomach full of manuscripts.

Based on her understanding of Wei Tingxu, Wei Tingxu is a person who takes care of the overall situation, and will definitely help her by recruiting strong men to accompany her to the south, but he will definitely not show good looks, and even dig a ravine to wait for her. Kick down to relieve your anger.All she could do was stick up her butt and let Wei Tingxu kick her casually.

When Wei Tingxu opened the door, Li Yanyi was inside.

"See Your Majesty!" Zhen Wenjun hurriedly bowed to the ground, Li Yanyi smiled and said:

"Wen Jun, get up quickly, I heard that you are going to make meritorious service again."

When Zhen Wenjun walked into the study, Xiaohua closed the door, leaving only the three of them to plot in the room.

Zhen Wenjun told them all the things he talked to Axi today and his speculations. Li Yanyi, the poor and frightened emperor, sighed:

"If the road of Wanxiang can be re-opened, it will be a great thing for Da Yu. Wenjun, who do you want to accompany, what kind of carriages and horses you want, just tell me, I will definitely satisfy you!"

Zhen Wenjun looked at Wei Tingxu. Under the oil lamp, Wei Tingxu simply tied up his long hair and covered his body with thick fur. Under the faint smile, he was not sure what mood she was in at this time, and completely changed back to let Wei Zizhuo, who Zhen Wenjun can't understand.

"Your Majesty loves Wenjun very much. Your Majesty, I need silks of various styles and textures, high-quality ceramics from various kilns, and top-notch tea. Each of these is fifty carts. Gold and silver wares, bronze mirrors and all kinds of handcrafts It is best to have samples of handicrafts. Silk ceramics and tea can be exchanged for losses along the way. Of course, it is best to earn more. Others will open the eyes of the Nanmans. If you can sign the contract on the spot, you can make a large batch when I come back. Output. Five hundred strong men, one thousand entourages, and I can prepare the rest by myself."

Li Yanyi readily agreed to all of Zhen Wenjun's requests.In fact, Zhen Wenjun's request is not excessive at all. It is completely based on Li Yanyi's standpoint and Dayu's current national strength to help the emperor save as much as possible. Otherwise, she will definitely form a large number of caravans and gather Five thousand Qingqi opened the way.

Li Yanyi gave Zhen Wenjun a roll of sheepskin before leaving Weifu.

"This is the clues about Wanxiang Road and Liuhuo Kingdom collected by the widow. There are also a few broken maps, all of which are secrets of the previous dynasty. Now I give them all to you. Wenjun, you are Zizhuo's right-hand man , is the confidant of the widow. You must be careful along the way. The widow is waiting for you to return!"

Zhen Wenjun fell on the ground to thank Li Yanyi, and Li Yanyi left under the escort of several women. The people Zhen Wenjun guarded Li Yanyi had no sound under their feet, and their feet were steady. They should be masters.

"Are these people the 'Moon Chasing Army'?" Zhen Wenjun asked Wei Tingxu.

"Yes, the Moon Chasing Army has now become the Emperor's Forbidden Army, replacing the servants of the Yellow Gate. This matter has also aroused protests from the officials, but His Majesty is also very ruthless."

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty brought the eunuch who tried to seduce His Majesty beyond his control into the court, and asked him to explain exactly how he seduced His Majesty in front of everyone. What can the eunuch do? He had to do it His Majesty, who had never done anything before, told him everything he wanted to admit. As a result, the officials were dumbfounded and extremely embarrassed, the eunuch was killed, and the Moon Chaser Army successfully replaced the servant."

After Zhen Wenjun heard this, his heart wavered slightly. It seems that Li Yanyi, who is now on the throne of God, is slowly changing, and slowly becoming a person who will use bad means to achieve his goals.Or maybe she was worrying too much, maybe Li Yanyi has always been such a person, but Zhen Wenjun didn't understand this generation of empresses.

Seeing Li Yanyi's Luan Jiali disappearing from sight, Wei Tingxu was about to speak, and Zhen Wenjun took the first step and said:

"It's not allowed, it's not allowed. You have heard the Zi Zhuo I said just now, right, the hardships and dangers of this journey will exceed our expectations. I can't let you go."

Wei Tingxu blinked, and said indifferently: "Oh, I won't go. I want to tell you that Xiao Hua made fish soup tonight, and I specially reserved a bowl for you. Go and drink it while it's still hot." After saying that, Wei Tingxu took the lead and went back to the house alone.

When Zhen Wenjun arrived at the kitchen, there was indeed a "bowl" bigger than her face on the wooden table, and it was difficult to lift it up. She suspected that it was not a bowl at all, but a basin.

Fortunately, it was not a small bowl, otherwise it would not be enough for her to eat.

Xiaohua's craftsmanship has always been superb. Zhen Wenjun couldn't eat or sleep well after running around for several days, and he was also hungry. After sweeping up the fish fillet soup, he took a bathrobe and went to bathe in the pool.

She really likes this pool, especially during the snowfall season, it is the happiest thing to soak in the extremely hot hot spring and watch the snowflakes fall on the top of her head one by one.

She likes the Wei family, and she likes every detail of the Wei family. There are traces of Wei Tingxu's childhood here, full of Wei Tingxu's smell.

Even so, she still wants to have her own home, a home that belongs to her and Wei Tingxu, and she doesn't know when this wish will come true.

Maybe this time she came back from Wanxiang Road smoothly. After Wei Tingxu enters the official position, with her talent, she will be able to rise rapidly, and His Majesty will open a mansion for her then.At that time, she followed Wei Tingxu, took care of her and acted as her counselor. The two went through the court together and fought against various factions. It was a lot of fun to think about it.

Get out of the bath, put on a bathrobe and go back to the room, thinking about whether Wei Tingxu took the medicinal bath on time when she was not in the mansion these few days, and who would rub her cold balls and massage her waist.

Little flower?

After thinking about the scene, Zhen Wenjun was a little unhappy, so he quickened his pace to Wei Tingxu's bedroom.I just left for a few days and I can't think about it. I have a lot to say to Wei Tingxu. I really don't know how long it will take to get back from this trip to Wanxiang Road. You must finish everything you need to say before you leave.It doesn't matter even if Wei Tingxu digs a few traps by putting on a face, she will definitely greet her with a smile, and there will never be a single complaint.

Unexpectedly, Wei Tingxu was much more generous than she expected.

Not only did he not dig a trap for his face, he even took the initiative to take off her bathrobe, which flattered Zhen Wenjun.

"Don't, don't, sister..." I was so excited that I almost called her "sister" again, but Zhen Wenjun hurriedly changed his words, "Zi Zhuo, I can do it myself. Do you have a medicinal bath today?"

Wei Tingxu nodded and said: "I asked Xiaohua to fill the medicine for me, but I haven't used the cold ball yet."

"It's just right, I'll help you." Zhen Wenjun hung the bathrobe back on his body, and went to the box to get the cold dough.

While rubbing Wei Tingxu's massage, Wei Tingxu explained in detail the dangers he might encounter on the road, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.I haven't seen her talk so much before, it seems that she is really sad not to let her go this time.

"Zi Zhuo..." Zhen Wenjun hugged her from the back, "Actually, I'm also reluctant, but I have to go. This matter is related to our future, Da Yu's future, we all know how important it is."

"I understand." Wei Tingxu had resigned herself to her fate. She folded her arms under her chin, turned her head and rubbed Zhen Wenjun's face with her forehead, "So I didn't say anything. I'll be waiting for you in Runing But you have to promise me one thing."

"You stay, Xiaohua." Knowing what she was going to say, Zhen Wenjun said beforehand.

"I'm relieved that Xiao Hua will follow you. If you promise me this matter, I will shut up and say nothing more."

Wei Tingxu was so straightforward that Zhen Wenjun couldn't refuse her, not even a "but".

She roughly calculated that this trip to the south would take at least six months, not counting the possible delay in various situations.

"I think I'll miss you..." Zhen Wenjun nestled in Wei Tingxu's arms like a baby, not willing to let her go at all.

Wei Tingxu comforted her in turn: "Half a year is only a blink of an eye, we will meet again soon."

When Wei Tingxu wanted to go together but couldn't at first, Zhen Wenjun was very firm in rejecting her.Now that Wei Tingxu has accepted the fact that he can't go, Zhen Wenjun is a little concerned and a little sad.

Tonight, she will take a good sniff of Wei Tingxu's fragrance and swallow all the details of her deliciousness.

Wei Tingxu also cooperated very well, although now she can't feel other sensations except pain.

After having intercourse for the first time, Wei Tingxu and Zhen Wenjun discovered the abnormality of Wei Tingxu's body at the same time.

Previously, her leg ailment was more than that she had no feeling in her legs, and she couldn't move below the waist.Now I can barely stand but still can't hold on for too long, what I didn't expect was that it would affect the feeling of Xuanpu and even the Dan acupuncture point.

Zhen Wenjun was a little over-excited during the first Dunlun, and Wei Tingxu's tears made her even more carried away. She had learned a lot about intercourse from Yueshi Ajiao. The so-called "charm" can not only seduce, but also able to serve.Zhen Wenjun was very careful during the whole process. After all, Wei Tingxu had too many injuries, and she couldn't bear to make a big move.In addition to being careful, she also secretly used a lot of skills. In her opinion, Wei Tingxu must be comfortable, and the tears are also caused by love, otherwise Yueshi Ajiao is a liar for fame.

Wei Tingxu didn't say anything until the end of the sweating profusely. Zhen Wenjun asked Wei Tingxu how he felt, and he had to say what he needed to improve.Wei Tingxu was so forced to question by her that he had no choice but to say a result that stunned Zhen Wenjun.

No feeling other than pain.Tears are also shed because of the pain.

How is it possible, how is it possible.

Wei Tingxu told her his guess, probably because of his waist and leg injuries.In the wine cellar, Zhen Wenjun only attacked Chizhu, but Wei Tingxu still felt nothing.In contrast, she seems to like kissing more, and even likes Zhen Wenjun's biting with a little bit of force.

So on the eve of departure, Zhen Wenjun's intimacy only lingered on the skin.The next day when Zhen Wenjun was about to leave, Wei Tingxu was still sound asleep. Zhen Wenjun couldn't bear to wake her up, so he left quietly.

Xiaohua has already prepared all the carriages and horses, and Zhen Wenjun has checked the commodities in the long horse team one by one.

She stepped onto the flying snow in the clouds and waved her whip resoundingly, watching the sunset alone through thousands of mountains and rivers.

The horse team quickly left Runing and walked slowly on the official road.Travel to dusk and stop outside the small county town for a while.

The tent was set up, and the fire was lit to cook.

Zhen Wenjun watched the soldiers pour a large bag of rice into a large iron pot, stir it with a huge spoon, and a group of people gathered around and threw vegetable leaves and minced meat into it.

Zhen Wenjun looked at them talking and laughing, but he lost his appetite.

I just left for a day and I miss you so much, what should I do for the remaining 100 days and nights?

Zhen Wenjun didn't eat anything and went to sleep in the tent early.

Opening up business routes is different from fighting wars.If you are in the war stage, you can't sleep well even if you sleep at night, and you often dream about enemy sneak attacks.At this moment, he has not left the territory of Dayu, and he is not even nervous. Zhen Wenjun looks at the pitch-black roof, his arms are empty, as if he has lost an important part of his body.

I don't know what Zizhuo is doing at this time, whether he is eating well and taking a medicinal bath.Will the other house slaves in the family be lazy and not give her a good massage because the cold mass is too cold?

After tossing and turning for a long time, he fell asleep in a daze.In the dream, she smelled Wei Tingxu's fragrance.She stretched out her hand to hug the scent, but unexpectedly she did.

Opening his sore eyes, the first light in the morning penetrated into the tent, and Zhen Wenjun found that there was an extra person in his arms.

Almost jumped up with a cleverness, who actually sneaked into someone's tent!They just slept through the night like this?If Zi Zhuo knew about this, would it be okay?

In the dim tent, Zhen Wenjun was about to push the person in his arms away, but the person got closer and even slipped into her arms.

"You, no!" Zhen Wenjun grabbed the person's shoulder and almost lifted her up.

"pain."

She scratched and hurt the person in her arms mercilessly, and when she heard the voice, Zhen Wenjun said "Huh?"

"Zi Zhuo?!"

Who is the person leaning against her arms and smiling complacently, but Wei Tingxu?
