The carriage was moving steadily, and Qi Wu was leaning on the wall of the carriage, reading the script in a leisurely manner.

Qi Jiang, who was in the same car, watched his actions carefully. After Qi Wu finished reading the book in his hand, he said softly: "Qi Wu, you have finished reading your book. If you still need it, you can send it to me. I also took the three copies of my book...Actually, I don't like reading books very much, but Mr. Xie came to ask me yesterday, and he said you want it too, so I nodded and said yes... Do you want these three books? ?”

While talking, Qi Jiang took out those few books from the bag and put them on the low table in the middle.Qi Wu looked at it, nodded and said thank you.

"You're welcome." Qi Jiang replied softly, and then quietly stopped talking.

There was still a collection of poems left by Qi Wu, so he read it for a while, and then, unsurprisingly, he did feel a little sleepy.Randomly flipped through all the titles of the poems in the poetry anthology, and they were basically Wing Chun, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and Ode to the prosperity and stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Qi Wu felt that the amount of information was limited, so he put down the poetry anthology without any psychological pressure, and took Qi Jiang's The script next to it looked up.

In fact, Qi Wu's appeal to these scripts is average, but they are easier than poetry anthologies.

"Why are you praising Shang Fuheng again..." Qi Wu muttered to himself in a low voice.

"What?" Qi Jiang heard the voice, but couldn't hear what he said, and asked subconsciously.

Qi Wu looked up at him, blinked and shook his head slightly: "It's nothing."

Although the themes of these few story books are highly homogeneous, Qi Wu didn't think much about it at the moment... until after more than 20 days of driving, Xie Jing Xing helped buy a few more books, and the books he bought back were all different. It was only during this period that Qi Wu gradually understood...

Where did this kind of storybook go all over the place, it was obviously Xie Jing Xing's fan who "brought private goods".

However, this unexpected harvest also gave Qi Wu another inspiration.

At the moment, after traveling for more than a month, a group of more than 20 people came to Kecheng.After resting in Kecheng for one night, the means of travel changed from horses and carriages to boats——the gate to the north of Kecheng is connected to the river, and Liu Lv plans to take the route across the river, and stay on the boat for four or five days. Let the subordinates who have been riding the horse for more than a month rest.

Sitting in the cabin of the boat, Qi Wu was blowing a rather enthusiastic wind from the river, and after a while he had to close the ventilation windows.

"Go north from Kecheng, cross the Lijiang River...you should arrive at Licheng when you disembark." Qi Wu thought softly, and his mood became much happier.

Seeing that the journey was about halfway through, he planned to escape in Licheng.Such a restless person like him pretended to be good for more than a month, and he was almost suffocated.

In the original plot, one and a half months before he and Qi Jiang, the two members of the Qi clan, entered the palace, Empress Song Wanqing's old illness relapsed and failed to be cured... According to this timeline, it is estimated that when they arrived in Licheng, they would have reached this plot.

The queen died, even if Liu Lu and the others were not in the capital, they still had to deal with some etiquette matters.At that time, the attention on the two Qi people would be much less, and Qi Wu's escape plan was relatively easier to implement.

Moreover, Licheng is an excellent place.

The book of poems that Xie Jingxing helped to buy earlier did provide some information to Qi Wu, for example, Kecheng and Licheng are connected by the Lijiang River, Licheng and Wendu are connected by official roads through several cities in the north and south, from the south to the If the capital passes through Kecheng and the Lijiang River, the next step will definitely be Licheng.

Qi Wu originally planned to find an opportunity to see if he could ask for a copy of Dazhou Geography in a natural way that would not cause Liu Lu and others to be on guard, but after this period of time, Qi Wu found that there was no need for such an additional matter, because he The desired information has actually been extracted from the story books and poetry collections.

Qi Wu's fingertips landed on the window lattice, tapping lightly while he was lost in thought.

The boat was driving on the river, even if it slowed down, it would inevitably shake. Qi Wu dozed off for a while during this wobbly voyage, and when he woke up, he only felt...a little seasick.

Open the window again and let the wind blow for a while, after the dizziness subsided a little, Qi Wu blinked, took the veiled hat that was put aside and put it on again, then got up and walked outside.

Before leaving Kecheng, Liu Lv asked two men and two women to board the boat together, just to serve Qi Wu and Qi Jiang.Afterwards, the two men and two women will return to Kecheng together with the boat.

Right now, a man and a woman were sitting outside Qi Wu's room door, when they saw him coming out, they quickly stood up and asked: "Young Master, what orders do you have?"

Qi Wu shook his head slightly, and said in a light voice, "No, it's just that I'm a little dizzy and want to get some fresh air outside."

"Oh, my lord, you didn't often walk by water before. You must be seasick. It's good to stand on the deck for a while, but I'm afraid that it won't be good if you catch a cold from the wind..."

After all, these two people didn't dare to stop Qi Wu from going out. After all, they were only arranged to listen to orders. Although the identities of the two young masters wearing veiled hats seemed a bit special, they didn't dare to ask more questions.

Accompanied by the two, Qi Wu came to the deck.

He didn't go to the more spacious and crowded front, but stood by the chair rail at the stern.

The wind from the river was blowing hard, Qi Wu pressed down on the veil silently, thankfully in his heart that the veil of the Qi Clan is the kind with a complete circle of yarn, if it was separated into two pieces at the front, it would not be able to hold it down now.

His face is unrecognizable.

Just thinking about it, Xie Jing Xing came over by himself without any accident.

About half a month ago, Liu Lu didn't take care of Qi Wu and Qi Jiang's daily life together with Xie Jingxing, Xie Jingxing was responsible for most of this matter alone, if there were any special circumstances, he would let Liu Lu know.

Seeing Qi Wu and the two attendants standing at the corner at the end of the deck, Xie Jing Xing naturally wanted to come over and ask.

In fact, Xie Jingxing couldn't tell whether it was Qi Wu or Qi Jiang just by looking at the clothes, but he couldn't see the face, but he could tell the difference between Qi Wu and the person in charge of serving beside Qi Jiang, so when he went up to greet him No hesitation.

"Mr. Qi Wu, what's wrong?"

After traveling for more than a month, this was the first time Qi Wu came out of the room where he was staying.Even Qi Jiang, who has a weaker personality, also left the room two or three times, although he went back soon.

So seeing Qi Wu appearing in a place other than the room, Xie Jing Xing was somewhat surprised.

Qi Wu nodded slightly: "I'm a little seasick, so I had to come out to enjoy the air... By the way, I wonder if Mr. Xie has any spare books?"

"Mr. Qi lived far away from the river. It's normal to feel dizzy after walking the water for the first time. It will be better after two days of getting used to it. As for the new books, I don't have any here. The books I gave to the two Mr. Qi before are all It was me or someone else who went to buy it now... This is really negligent, I should have bought some in Kecheng before boarding the boat, but have you finished reading Mr. Qi's previous books?" Xie Jing Xing said.

"It is true that I have finished reading the books here, and I forgot to say in advance... It's okay, I will re-read the previous books, or see if there are any books on Qi Jiang's side that I haven't read, but it doesn't matter. It’s just to pass the time.”

Qi Wu's tone was gentle, his voice fell slightly, and then he turned his head just right, with a little doubt and a little apprehension in his tone, he asked: "Speaking of it... I don't know if I ask this question May I offend you, but looking at the scriptures and poems Mr. Xie gave us, I can't help but feel sorry for God of War..."

To Qi Wu's surprise, just after he said the word "God of War", Xie Jing Xing interrupted nervously, and then said with a kind expression: "Mr. But you must never mention the word 'God of War'."

Under the hood, Qi Wu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't know that Shang Wenjin still had this taboo.

"Why...why?" Qi Wu asked in a puzzled and hesitant tone.

Xie Jing Xing then looked around and looked at the servants around Qi Wu. After thinking about it, he felt that they had already started. There was nothing he couldn't say. He kept it hidden in case people misunderstood that he was disrespectful. good.

So Xie Jingxing explained: "The folks of the Great Zhou used to call His Royal Highness the 'God of War' to respect his many years of achievements in pacifying the frontiers of tigers and wolves in the Great Zhou. The emperor is also very grateful for this great achievement. The emperor and His Royal Highness Lang has a very deep relationship with each other."

"However... the former crown prince unfortunately died on the battlefield, so the emperor disliked wars very much, especially the people of the Zhou Dynasty who were killed or killed on the battlefield. Every time he heard His Royal Highness Lang called the 'God of War', the emperor would feel sorry for His Royal Highness Lang who ran to the frontier. Years of hard work, the mood will be depressed for a while... That's why I just blurted out, suggesting that Mr. Qi should not mention the title of 'God of War'."

Hearing Xie Jingxing's words, Qi Wu felt happy, thinking that Shang Wenjin was quite good at superficial skills.

Thinking about it, Qi Wu was full of gratitude when he spoke: "So that's the case... Thank you so much for your reminder, sir."

Xie Jing Xing waved his hand, "Actually, many servants in the palace know about this matter, so it is nothing to mention."

After finishing speaking, seeing that Qi Wu didn't seem to intend to continue the previous topic, Xie Jing Xing hesitated for a while, but he couldn't help but speak: "By the way... Young Master Qi just mentioned His Highness Prince Lang, but what do you want to say?"

Qi Wu quietly bent his lower lip.

Then he said in a calm tone: "It's not really... It's just that in the scriptures Mr. Xie gave us, almost all of His Royal Highness Lang's great achievements were mentioned. I lived in the Qi clan for a long time, but I was ignorant. I don’t know any of the characters, so I’m ashamed and curious... The storybook always said that when the border was unstable a few years ago, many men of the right age and even daughters traveled thousands of miles to the border to register for the army, just to fight under the command of King Lang ..."

Qi Wu paused, and continued: "At first when I saw such a description, I thought it was an exaggeration, but after seeing it again and again, I became a little hesitant..."

Without Qi Wu continuing to finish his words, Xie Jing Xing had already taken the initiative to take over the quarrel: "Of course it is true! In the early years, the border of the Great Zhou was surrounded by wolves, especially the people in the cities near the southern border and the northern border often suffered from it. Especially some small countries! It doesn’t really fight with you, after all, it can’t fight you, so it sends a small team to sneak into our Dazhou city to make trouble. It can be said that the people are extremely outraged to commit crimes, murder and set fire and then flee out of the city."

But at that time, something happened in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The first emperor was seriously ill, and the first prince insisted on going out to fight, but unfortunately died on the battlefield. The prince and the first emperor's brothers were all staring at the throne that was about to be vacated. Solve foreign troubles.

But in this paragraph, Xie Jingxing didn't talk to Qi Wu, but went on to say directly: "Until His Royal Highness King Lang went to the battlefield, he first settled the southern border, and then calmed the northern chaos. Their blood was aroused, and many people took the initiative to join the army, and they all wanted to go to the barracks of His Royal Highness Lang."

"But when it comes to joining the army, you can go wherever you want. If you want to go to a place that lacks people, you have to choose. But can the place where His Royal Highness Lang is located be short of people? Join the army at the household registration office If it is not certain that they will be assigned under the command of His Royal Highness King Lang, someone somehow came up with a strange trick and ran straight to the city where King Lang is, and joining the army there, the possibility of being assigned under King Lang's command is extremely high."

"Such a wonderful sight..." Xie Jing Xing said in an envious tone.

Qi Wu was not in a hurry to interrupt him.Although what Xie Jing Xing said, Qi Wu had seen similar descriptions many times in various scripts during this time, and the words used were more gorgeous than the others, Xie Jing Xing's description like this was really too simple...

When Xie Jing Xing was overwhelmed with emotion, Qi Wu said slowly: "But... when we were still in the clan land earlier, when some clansmen wanted to leave the clan land, our patriarch would always remind us not to run around, saying that we had to visit different cities Your household registration and road guides are strictly controlled...Those who want to practice under the command of King Lang traveled thousands of miles to the frontier, and after hearing what Mr. Xie said, there were still many people who did that at that time, It seems to be going well... It's also because of this, when I read the storybook, I always feel... a little bit out of harmony."

Listening to Qi Wu's tone, Xie Jing Xing felt that he still didn't quite believe that such a miracle would happen.Regarding this, Xie Jingxing felt that this Young Master Qi grew up in the Qi Clan and did not have a detailed understanding of His Highness Lang's great achievements, but at the same time felt that Qi Wu could not be blamed for not understanding, after all...

For the Qi people, travel restrictions are indeed much greater.

In front of Qi Wu, Xie Jing Xing couldn't say the words that poked people's scars, so he tried his best to explain euphemistically: "Actually, what the noble chief said is true, but frankly speaking, Da Zhou's atmosphere is open-minded, and he doesn't discriminate against businessmen , the businessman moves around, if the movement restrictions are too strict, it is not good."

"Thus, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty only need to use guides to walk among the cities of the country, and the government office responsible for issuing guides is not strict about the people's walking, basically they just take the local household registration to open it. "

"It's just like the Qi clan where Mr. Qi belongs. Although they have surrendered to Da Zhou and their clansmen have lived in Da Zhou territory for a long time, they are treated according to the friendly countries of foreign clans after all, so there is something special about the way of the Qi clan. Marking, the checks on entry and exit of each city will be a little stricter... It is also a helpless move."

Hearing this, Qi Wu blinked thoughtfully.

In fact, the information given by Xie Jing Xing could be figured out or guessed from the description in the script.But it was in the script after all, Qi Wu couldn't tell how many fake elements there were, now he was more convinced after hearing Xie Jing Xing's words.

"So that's how it is." Qi Wu said calmly, and then smiled a little, "Now that the border is safe, His Highness Prince Lang has returned to the capital? We don't know if we will have such an honor in the future when we enter the palace. I can see the majesty of His Highness Langwang in the capital."

Xie Jing Xing himself worshiped Shang Fuheng, the god of war in the eyes of the common people, and when he heard that Qi Wu seemed to respect Shang Fuheng, his attitude towards Qi Wu was even more friendly.

He said regretfully: "I'm afraid it will be difficult these few years. After all, the border has only been stable for two years. His Royal Highness Lang wants to guard the border to deter the foreign barbarians in the north. But in a few years, His Royal Highness Lang may not return to the capital. ..."

After listening to Xie Jingxing praising Shang Fuheng for a while, Qi Wu asked two more unimportant questions in order to dilute Xie Jingxing's special memory of the topic of household registration and road introduction just now, Qi Wu then excused that the wind on the river caused a headache, Went back to the cabin.

Xie Jing Xing said that he was still proud of himself, but it was not good to stop Qi Wu from letting him go, so he could only stop talking about it regrettably.

Seeing Qi Wu enter the cabin, Xie Jingxing turned around and walked towards the front of the deck, just in time to meet Liu Lu.

He saluted: "Lord Liu."

Liu Lu's expression was indifferent, and he asked, "I see you just talked to Mr. Qi for a long time?"

Xie Jing Xing didn't dare to answer these words, so he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "The two servants who are serving by Mr. Qi Wu's side are there... I'm also to blame, I couldn't stop talking about His Royal Highness Lang, the subordinates admire His great military achievements, You also know that you really didn't stop talking..."

Hearing this, Liu Lu frowned slightly: "How did you mention His Royal Highness Lang?"

Xie Jing Xing quickly smiled even more obsequiously: "Isn't it... I bought books for those two Mr. Qi before, but I couldn't help but bought the book about His Highness Lang Lang. Maybe I read too much, so Mr. Qi Wu asked casually. Master Liu, I was also thinking that the people of the Qi clan didn't understand our Great Zhou, and I wanted to teach them that our Great Zhou is as powerful as His Highness King Lang... Speaking of which, I don't know if I just talked too much , Mr. Qiwu hurried back to the cabin with the excuse of having a headache when he heard it at the end... You said that I will buy books later, and you will buy the one about His Royal Highness Lang?"

Liu Lu also had a deep understanding of Xie Jingxing's reverence for King Lang, so after hearing what he said, he didn't think about it anymore, and couldn't help but solemnly said: "I still think you are the most stable of these people , I’m not even in shape! Go to the kitchen to see how the dinner is going!”

"Yes, this subordinate will go now!" Xie Jing Xing said with a smile.
