Mountains and seas can be flat

The trip back to Huazu was faster than expected.They did not encounter the Xia Zhu Dragon Slaying Squad led by Peng Meng.After encountering and sealing the dragon, Feng Meng and the others had already left the area around Ruoshui to report back.

When Fang Zheng was kidnapped by Zifeng, he carried him away on his shoulders. At that time, he fell into a coma all the way. It probably didn't take long, otherwise he would have to wake up from hunger.Fang Zheng then asked how to cross the forest, relying on two feet?Although I saw with my own eyes Zifeng's skill as if he was walking on the ground, and the coercion of the beasts fleeing wherever he went.But to be able to pass in such a short time, Fang Zheng thought, he had to use some other means.

Zifeng recruited a trembling big lynx as a means of transportation for the two of them. After running for a day and a night, the lynx was so tired that it gasped.Before it ran to death, Zifeng finally found out that he had changed his mount.The scene was like an animal chain station.The animals used in these three days include not only bobcats, but also mountain leopards, giant armadillos and terrifying tropical long-haired rats.These nimble, carnivorous rodents can move at astonishing speed in the forest.In the area of ​​dwarf trees, there are no towering and dense canopies in the sky.Zifeng recruited Zhu Luan and carried them out.

In less than three days, Zifeng and Fang Zheng walked out of the virgin forest.

They began to cross the border of Yu and Yi.Although there are seventeen legions in Yuyi Kingdom, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, not every place can be inspected.In addition, the political situation in Yuyi was turbulent during this period, and the old lord used the corpse to "newly succeed to the throne"; the village and Tiansai were hit by Zifeng's revenge without reason.The territory of Yuyi is gloomy and bleak, with frequent chaos.

When passing through a dilapidated farm, Fang Zheng found that many people inside had died.In this day and age, dead people are actually quite common.The invasion of a few ferocious beasts, the hunger without enough food, the cold without clothes, unknown wild bacteria, a minor cold, or even accidentally injuring the skin while using those primitive tools, may also cause infection. The cold died.But Fang Zheng already knew that Zifeng took revenge on some cities and villages of Yuyi, so he must have killed people too.Seeing the sight of the dead, he was particularly annoyed to add a stroke to Zifeng.

"Did you kill this villager!?"

Zifeng told the truth: "I can't remember."

In fact, even if Zifeng didn't kill him, the blood he committed would have exceeded the death toll in this small village.So whether it was killed by him or not, the essential difference is not big.

Fang Zheng almost passed out out of breath, this time he didn't even slap at all, holding the sword with bulging veins, panting violently in his chest, gnashing his teeth: "I can't remember!? How can you be so peaceful!"

"Brother Zheng, stab me a few times. This Chong Hua sword can get in." Zi Feng said and took two steps forward, letting the point of the sword touch his chest.

"You just don't care!?" Fang Zheng felt that he was adding fuel to the fire.

"Then what should I do? Crying bitterly?" Zifeng said, "Brother Zheng, even if you cut me into small pieces, I guess it would be enough to avenge the dead. After I woke up, I felt sad. But I couldn't bring myself back from the dead."

He still doesn't understand "guilt". For Zifeng, being able to "sorrow" for the person who died in his hands is already a great improvement.

Fang Zheng raised the sword to Zifeng's heart, and suddenly turned to point at himself: "The crime is serious, and I bear the blood debt, so am I." Being frightened, Zifeng's expression suddenly became tense, and Fang Zheng continued, "Lian Zifeng. I am bloody and indebted, and I will not die. I have killed people for revenge, but the ultimate goal is only for the survival and development of the Chinese. You Your hatred ends here. From today onwards, if you kill innocent people indiscriminately and kill people outside the battlefield—" Fang Zheng pressed the sword to his chest, "I will die in front of you. I will kill you Not you, but I can kill myself."

"I'll listen to you." Zifeng was so frightened that he wanted to take the sword away, but he was not sure whether it would hurt Fang Zheng, so he was careful not to do it, and hurriedly swore: "I will not kill people randomly. Zheng Brother, I will only kill the enemy if you tell me to go to the battlefield. Put down the sword first, so as not to scratch anywhere—"

Fang Zheng put down his sword with a cold face, pointed at the village and said, "These people will not die in vain. People in the future will live a peaceful life here. This is what I want to do in my life. I want them not to die anymore. Afflicted by hunger, cold and common diseases; I want them to work hard so that they can eat, clothe, and multiply; I want them not to be afraid of natural disasters, wars, and wild animals every day. Whether what I want to do can be realized, It's up to you. If you create a disaster, I will seek death immediately. Just let this land go into chaos, and no one can save it."

Zifeng was stunned by the threat of Fang Zheng's novel brain circuit.In fact, Fang Zheng will not really implement this naive and irresponsible approach of "punishing oneself with other people's mistakes".He was just scaring Lian Zifeng.

But Zifeng didn't have that many twists and turns, Fang Zheng said so, and he believed it.Nothing can be done.He himself has copper skin and iron bones, invulnerable to swords and guns, and is not afraid of any threat of death, but Fang Zheng's mortal body is almost shattered in his eyes.If Fang Zheng is the peaceful hope for the future of this land.That Zifeng suddenly took on a heavier responsibility, and his life without a fulcrum suddenly made Zifeng overwhelmed——Zifeng thought dumbfounded: I have a special bloodline, and my strength is too much beyond ordinary people. Do whatever you want.At this moment, it was like being strangled by a few words.

Fang Zheng's death frightened Zifeng, and he gradually began to understand this sentence: Fear is also a kind of power.With fear, human beings began to try their best to become stronger.And because of fear, he will not disobey Fang Zheng again, and will not commit killing karma.

However, at the same time, Zifeng also felt that this weight was very solid, and he finally had the peace of mind of existence.For the future of this land, he must protect brother Zheng's safety.

Although Fang Zheng was still angry with him on the surface... all the way across the border of Yuyi was miserable and chaotic, and Fang Zheng's low pressure had worsened these days, so he basically ignored Zifeng.But Zifeng didn't take it seriously, anyway, he knew the reason for Fang Zheng's anger, Fang Zheng used this to train him, he was not only not angry, but even a little happy.Zifeng didn't know where he learned the strange description, so he said in a non-surprising way:

"Brother Zheng, I think you look very beautiful when you are angry."

Fang Zheng was angry and funny, "What's good-looking? It's handsome to describe a man! Do you understand this word!?"

In this era, there is no title of "General", and there is no origin of Shuai's surname, and there is no such word in the Yu Dynasty characters that Zifeng can recognize.

"Handsome? What is that?" Zifeng was a little confused, but he quickly accepted, "Since brother Zheng likes this word, let's be handsome."

Fang Zheng stopped talking to Zifeng again.Zifeng took pleasure in saying that he was handsome every day, which made Fang Zheng's ears callous.In fact, in terms of appearance, Fang Zheng also recognized the handsomeness of Zifeng's face.Moreover, it is impossible to guarantee that it was not one of the reasons why I got on the thief ship in a daze.But he would never praise "reciprocity", if he did, who knows how this guy will stick his nose in the face.

When passing a small hill with beautiful scenery, Fang Zheng saw a lush meadow on the hillside, covered with blue swaying small flower buds, like countless blue snowflakes falling in the grass, or like Fragments of small stars in the sky.Fang Zheng said in surprise:

"Is this the blue snowgrass?"

Zifeng said: "Brother Zheng, do you know this kind of flower?"

"I heard from the saint of Yuyi. She said that she wanted to see this kind of small flowers blooming all over the hillside. I promised her at that time." Fang Zheng mused, "When you were in Yuyi, you had a relationship with this saint. Intersection?"

"I haven't met." Zifeng said, "But I heard that her existence is one of the reasons for Xia Zhu and Yu Yi's feud."

"How do you say that?" Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked, he felt that the poor woman who looked so thin that she would die at any time and didn't understand many rules in the world, how could she have so much energy?

"The saint is in charge of dancing the 'Luan Dance'. The Luan Dance originated from the Shao Dance. The Shao Dance was passed down by Emperor Tao and Tang, and passed on to Qi Jun by Emperor Chongyu three generations later. People in Xiazhu always feel that only Qi Jun dances. It is the authentic Jiushao music and dance. Yu Yi's Luan Dance not only stole Jiushao, but also used it to summon animals and sacrificed human beings for them. Yi's saint." Zifeng explained.

Fang Zheng once saw the records of the monarchs of the Xia Dynasty "dancing" in the literature records.The "dancing" at that time was a ritual of prayer and sacrifice, and the movements were more solemn, which was essentially different from the "dancing" of later generations for entertainment.Fang Zheng was still very curious, and asked, "Will the current emperor of Xia Zhu dance at the ceremony every year?"

"Of course, this is their weapon." Zifeng said meaningfully.

Fang Zheng asked: "What weapon?"

Zifeng has learned to bargain in the past few days, "Brother Zheng, please forgive me for reducing my time. I will tell you."

Fang Zheng scolded with a smile: "You will still make progress? You should be content if you don't increase!"

Having said that, Zifeng played tricks and didn't tell Fang Zheng immediately.Fang Zheng didn't take the bait either, and continued to ignore him.

After traveling for a few more days in Yuyi Kingdom, they finally returned to the east of Qinglongling Valley.Here Fang Zheng came into contact with a combat team.Qinglongling has now become a strategically important location. It is no exaggeration to say that there are ambushes and guards from various forces all over the valley of Qinglongling.

A few cold arrows shot at Fang Zheng and Zifeng, but they missed as expected.Fang Zheng and Zifeng quickly avoided those arrows.The arrowheads are bright gold copper with forged nocks.

"It belongs to Yu Yi!" Zi Feng quickly told Fang Zheng, "This is the seal of the Raowo Copper Furnace. They are soldiers from the capital."

"So that's how it is." Fang Zheng thought quickly, and his heart sank—Yu Yi soldiers can still ambush here, which means that the old fox of the monarch has returned.During the days when he was away from the Huazu, the old fox had a leisurely time to play tricks here.Who knows how to give the order, the greeting gift to myself is like a knife, light and sword, which is not a good sign.

Considering the safety of the Chinese people, although Fang Zheng was impatient, he was not reckless.He gave Zifeng a "retreat" look, and quickly ran out of sight of those soldiers.

"Why didn't you kill them?" Zi Feng asked after he and Fang Zheng escaped.

"Don't startle the snake." Fang Zheng said.

"But they have already seen us. Anyway, they will report to us. Should we silence it?"

"It's different. If you kill someone, there is no room for change." Fang Zheng sighed, "People's lives will not come back again. Zifeng, these Yuyi soldiers are stationed around our Chinese territory, following the orders of the lord, killing people It's not their own will. After we capture the king of Yuyi, we will appease them. Besides, we don't know how many soldiers are ambushing around, and we won't be able to stop talking about it for a while. First, go explore the people in the valley. Condition."

Fang Zheng led Zifeng into the path of Qinglongling Valley.Qinglongling is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the lake on one side.They were walking now along the mountains to the east, high, wet, slippery, and steep, with no way to climb them.

"There is a sentry on the top of the mountain not far away. In the past, Chinese warriors and beasts were stationed there. Let's not get too close." Fang Zheng looked dignified, "If you are..."

The meaning of the unfinished words is very clear. If this place is occupied by the king of Yuyi, he will definitely send soldiers to station there.They'll spot the two condescendingly.

Suddenly Fang Zheng saw that the rows of footprints in front of him were still fresh, and his hearing was so clear that he could easily hear the sound of the rock wall after turning.He and Zifeng hurriedly walked over under the shadow of the mountain, and saw a person climbing outside the hanging rock not far above, and he turned his head and saw Fang Zheng and Zifeng just in time.

That was brother Xiaoyao, a warrior of the Chinese nationality. He was originally from Danyang County, and together with sister Sang Hai Qiniang and the others, they all escaped from the turmoil in Danyang County.There is a small basket behind him, and he is picking fungi, large and small, from the rocks.

Looking at each other, Fang Zheng loosened his hand on the sword.Brother Xiaoyao shouted in surprise, "Boss, you're back!?" His eyes swept over Lian Zifeng, and he was instantly frightened, "Why is this guy here—!"

This guy was terrible last time and took the leader away.Brother Xiaoyao was about to jump down to attack Zifeng almost immediately, but he was very confused when he saw that Fang Zheng was moving freely and didn't look like he was threatened.

"Zifeng sent me back. Let's talk about his affairs later." Fang Zheng thought that the Hua people were threatened, but seeing Brother Xiaoyao picking fungi here, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you come here? Nearby Yuyi soldiers were ambushing, I thought—"

Brother Xiaoyao saw that Fang Zheng was really fine, so he jumped off the mountain wall and said, "There are Yuyi soldiers on the outskirts of the valley. But they are there to help us guard."

Fang Zheng frowned, and asked sharply, "What did you say!? Help us? Who said it? Who gave the order?"

Brother Xiaoyao said: "Boss, after you were kidnapped, the golden dragon followed. Everyone was scared, and they were planning to hide in Bingyi's stomach for refuge. At this time, King Yuyi came back, and he told us not to be afraid. , he is willing to transfer people to guard the outskirts of Qinglong Valley, let us wait for you to come back."

Fang Zheng didn't believe it: "How is it possible? That old fox would be so kind?"

Brother Xiaoyao said: "We didn't believe it at the beginning. Everyone was on guard, and the old man and the child were transferred into Bingyi's stomach for several days. The other young soldiers slept with knives on their pillows. But when we found that those Yuyi The soldiers really stayed outside the valley, and helped us drive away a small northern tribe who wanted to take advantage. Brother Meng Shisan and a few brothers with copper teeth knew that the small northern tribe was attached to Xiazhu. They were worried about the other party's revenge , and began to discuss whether to accept this Yuyi soldier."

"I guess, one day later, Lord Yu Yi came to talk to you alone?" Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"You're right. Then one day, King Yu Yi came to find him. He talked with Elder Xuansi Mingye, several Tongya, Meng Shisan, and those in the 'administrative department'. King Yu Yi said The territory of Yuyi was severely damaged, and these soldiers could not return home and survive. In short, the result of the discussion was that this soldier could not enter the area where the Chinese lived, but they could stay at the gate of Qinglongling and the surrounding sentries. They added that the Chinese The Chinese guarded the troops, and the Chinese provided food for them."

Fang Zheng sneered: "Interesting. However, the appearance is too careless. The welcome ceremony when I came back was very grand——" He talked about the attack on the Qinglongling gate.

Brother Xiaoyao doubted: "Is it possible that those Yu Yi soldiers don't recognize you, the leader? With Lian Zifeng at the side, I misunderstood..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Lian Zifeng again with lingering fear. According to the king of Yu Yi, this guy was a devil who killed innocent people everywhere and caused so many people to be displaced.Now he came with the leader.

Fang Zheng said firmly: "Impossible, with so many people, there will always be someone to collect information. If it was a misunderstanding, they must be eager to find me everywhere to explain."

Just as he was talking, several soldiers walked towards this direction from the high sentry post and shouted loudly: "Is this the leader of the Chinese tribe? Did you arrive at the entrance of the valley just now? We have a few ignorant guys Didn't recognize it, it's great to have you back—"

Fang Zheng watched them gradually approaching. This is a combat team. Looking at the clothes, in addition to the Yuyi soldiers wearing animal fur, there are also former Chinese soldiers, leading a barbarian.In terms of numbers alone, the strength of the troops has indeed increased.Originally, a sentry post could only be equipped with three Chinese soldiers and one barge, but now including Yu Yi's soldiers, there are eight in total.

Although it seemed that the misunderstanding had been resolved, Fang Zheng's dignified expression did not disappear. He raised his eyebrows and asked Brother Xiaoyao: "The outpost patrols, are they all with our people?"

"Yes, but their team outside the valley was alone. Our people didn't go out. They changed guards and patrolled, and they were not allowed to go to the Chinese residential area." Brother Xiaoyao replied.

"Confused." Fang Zheng's voice was so low that even Brother Xiaoyao couldn't hear it clearly, only Zifeng heard it, "I protected you too well, and I sold you back to the number of people. King Yuyi, you are indeed an old fox. .”

Facing the soldiers of the sentry mixed team who were gradually approaching, Fang Zheng restrained the solemnity on his face, showed a just right smile, stepped forward two steps, blocked the front with his body without any trace, and accepted it with ease. A warm "welcome" from this mixed squad.

"I'm back. You have worked hard. Lead the way, I should go and 'thank' your monarch."
