Blade of Wind

The first stop after going abroad is of course Gongzhou State.

Once it’s close, you’ll be there when you cross the sea; if you come again, I have to personally thank Zhujing for the food that Zhujing sent me last time.Although it is not too much, but it is not too much to say, and it is just a timely help. Once the urgent need is solved, this favor must be repaid anyway.

When crossing the sea, I ran into a few monsters.They were all small bird-like monsters, and Qinglong killed them with a single swing of his sword.But it's strange, it turned out to be on the side close to Gong country, but Fang country is relatively quiet.

It stands to reason that Gong Country's luck is just right, and the monsters should have passed from our Fang Country. This situation is really puzzling.

A Ao leaned over his riding beast and asked, "What's the matter? You look worried?"

"Yeah." I replied, "How come there are demons haunting Gong country?"

Ao frowned.

Although the Twelve Countries are twelve countries with independent internal affairs, they are not unrelated. They have economic relations with each other, and if a certain country fails, refugees will flee to other neighboring countries. Improper resettlement of refugees may cause some domestic problems.

Li Guang once told me these truths when I first came to know them, and I have also experienced them myself in recent days.Although it is said that the refugees from Fang Country are returning home one after another, but...why do demons appear in Gong Country instead?

Xiu Huang followed behind, smiled, and said, "Master, if you care about this, you might as well stay in Gong Country for two more days and walk around. If there are often monsters in the country, it may be Gong If there is a problem in the country, if it is only on the border, then it is a problem in other countries. You see, the lord has been enthroned for less than a year, and the Fang country itself has not yet stabilized. I heard that the situation in the Liu country in the north is not very good. Now It's normal for some monsters to appear in this area."

I nodded, paused, and said again: "Speaking of this, maybe I should be surprised why all the monsters in Fangguo disappeared? There were so many before. It seems that after we fought at the Spring Festival, They all disappeared.”

...except for the kid I fished out of the river.

Even Xiu Huang fell silent this time.

... Forget it, it would be a good thing if the monsters really disappeared completely.If they are hiding and trying to do something wrong, I have made arrangements anyway, and the soldiers will block the water and cover them with soil.

It was dusk when we arrived at Lianqiang, the capital of Gong Kingdom.So I decided to find a random inn to live in first, and then go to Shuangfeng Palace to visit Zhujing the next morning.

The service of the inn is very thoughtful. They helped us lead the animals to the stables to feed them. They brought hot water for us to wash our faces and hands, and asked if we wanted to prepare dinner.

I originally wanted to go out for a stroll first, but Ao seemed a little tired.This time was different from the last time I went out. I didn't prepare a carriage, and I came here on a beast the whole way.Although we said that we were not in a hurry and had rests along the way, riding a horse was still not as good as taking a car.But Ao was struggling.After all, I have never traveled such a long distance before.

I simply asked the inn to prepare dinner, and I will take a rest and eat before talking.

The room we booked is a Datong room. There is a living room in the middle of the entrance, and then there is a room on the left and right.On the surface, it seems that there are only three of us, two men and one woman. Naturally, Ao and Xiu Huang share one room, and I occupy the other room exclusively.

Supper was served in the living room in the middle.

When Xiao Er came in with the food and wine, I chatted with him, asking if there was anything interesting here recently, and if there was anything interesting about Lian Qiang.

We pretended to be ordinary merchants, and Ah Ao's blond hair was also wrapped in a turban. He didn't suspect anything, and enthusiastically introduced Lian Qiang's local customs, customs, places of interest, and historical sites, and finally said: "By the way, there are Zhu Jings in recent days. Stay here, if the three are interested, you can go and see their performances."

"Eh? Really?" My interest suddenly rose.

Zhu Jing is a wandering entertainer in the Twelve Kingdoms. They have no nationality and perform wherever they go.But I've been here for so long, and I've never seen it.

In the past, King Feng of the previous generation felt that Zhu Jing was making the people playful and discouraged, and forbade Zhu Jing from entering Fangguo. Then King Feng passed away, Fangguo collapsed, natural disasters, human suffering, and monsters haunted everywhere, so Zhu Jing and the others stopped going to Fangguo.

I was very happy to hear that there was a performance here. After finishing the meal quickly, I put down the bowl and dragged Ao to watch.

Xiu Huang also seemed very happy, and followed me with a smile, "Zhu Jing, I haven't seen it for a long time."

I turned my head and asked, "What do they usually perform?"

"A lot, singing and dancing, kagura, acrobatics, showing rare birds and animals, and occasionally there are performances by sea guests."

"Hey~" I elongated my voice and asked curiously, "What will the Haike perform?"

Xiu Huang smiled and said: "I only saw it once, and it was singing a strange song. I couldn't understand a single word of the lyrics. But anyway, I couldn't understand Haike's words anyway."

"Didn't it mean that there would be no language barrier if you joined Xianju?"

I just finished asking, so I stopped there - don't say it was many years ago, even now, it is true that Xiu Huang has no immortality.

He didn't want to be an official, and he stayed in Falcon Palace as my doctor.But immortals don't get sick, even for me, as a monarch, there is very little chance of getting hurt.So everyone knows that it is just a name, and there is no formal appointment, and the Tianguan Zhang and Nei Zai think that in a case like Xiuhuang, it should be naturalized as a harem instead of setting up another special name.Although I had a showdown with Xiu Huang, but I was a little hesitant to formalize his name so formally, so I suppressed it in advance.Anyway, Xiuhuang is still young, within half a year or a year.

My side stopped suddenly, and Xiu Huang didn't speak any more.

Ao hadn't interrupted at the beginning, but now he reached out and gently held my hand.

I looked up at him.

His complexion is not very good.

The hardship of the journey is probably only one aspect, another aspect... He probably guessed what I was thinking just now.

I sighed secretly, yes, I have to admit that the reason why I hesitated on that matter was because I thought he would be unhappy.And you see, he's just not happy.

I feel a little stupid.

In fact, at the beginning, it is best to make it clear that no one will touch anyone and just be clean and relaxed, which is best for everyone, but it is not thorough enough.Being seduced by this, moved by that, and after the end, I still have this kind of reluctance to forget, and I ended up being a mess first.

I can't help but think, look at those emperors in ancient China, all of them had 72 concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. I only heard that the concubines were fighting each other, but I never heard that the emperor himself had such distress. How did he come to me? Only Aao Even Xiuhuang and the two of them can't handle it?Other emperors drafted hundreds of thousands of people to enter the palace, and I was full of entanglements about whether to let Xiuhuang become a harem and enter the fairyland. This is really... self-inflicted.

Well, speaking of it, the two of them get along quite well, they usually live in peace and harmony, are gentle and polite to each other, and occasionally they can talk to each other.

What is this?

Completely reversed?

The author has something to say: Let everyone wait for a long time~
