An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Chapter 100: clichés

They rested at the inn for the night, and set off again the next day without stopping.

After leaving Yongle City, they left the borders of Chu State and had to cross a mountain range to reach Liang State. It is densely populated with poisonous insects, swarms with miasma, and there are wild beasts from time to time. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the natural barrier of Liang.

Of course, there is another relatively safe way to get to Liang Country, but it will take a long detour. They don't have much time to waste on the journey.

The mere mountains and forests could not stop Ji Yue and Wei Lian from moving forward. Wei Lian sprinkled a circle of medicinal powder, and the poisonous insects, snakes and ants automatically retreated, and Lin Yaner, who was good at poisoning, didn't help. When the beast saw them, let alone eating people, they were roasted and eaten directly.

Xiao Wen also followed, and Lin Yaner didn't want to see him, so he followed from a distance, asking if he was going to Liangguo too, Lin Yaner couldn't control it.

"... What a lunatic!" Lin Yan'er gritted her teeth.

Xiao Wen's martial arts are strong, and it is naturally easy to walk through this mountain forest alone on weekdays. But he was only injured by Ji Yue yesterday, and he went on an adventure in the jungle after practicing Qigong and adjusting his breath overnight.

What's more, Rakshasa can assassinate, but he doesn't understand poison. There are so many poisons in this forest, it is simply deadly.

Wei Lian glanced back at Xiao Wen who was struggling to kill the poisonous insects not far away: "Since I can't see it, why not let him follow?"

"What does he do?" Lin Yan'er frowned, "Noisy is dead."

Since entering this desolate forest, she hasn't touched a man for several days. Alas, it's uncomfortable, I'm exhausted.

The two beside them are a pair that cannot be touched, and the latter one has already touched. There is no suitable candidate. Lin Yan'er became more and more irritable.

Wei Lian was noncommittal.

At night they raise bonfires and grill the beasts. Wei Lian's culinary skills have never been lit up. Ji Yue roasted it. He also carefully dealt with all the rough places and gave Wei Lian the most tender meat.

Lin Yan'er took another bite of candy and sighed, "I really envy you guys."

Wei Lian said while eating the barbecue: "Don't be envious, you can also ask someone to help you."

A short distance away, Xiao Wen silently nibbling on dry food under the tree, looking at the fire and the barbecue over there, salivating, he endured it again.

"...Don't mention him." Lin Yan'er curled her lips, "I don't like him."

Ji Yue said lightly, "He's dying."

Wei Lian looked sideways, and saw a poisonous snake hovering on the tree trunk that Xiao Wen was leaning against, hissing snake letter, staring at the back of Xiao Wen's head. Xiao Wen paid attention to Lin Yan'er, but didn't notice...

Between the lightning and flint, a gust of wind flashed quickly, Lin Yaner appeared in front of Xiao Wen in a blink of an eye, and threw the seven-inch snake in her hand to the ground, shouting in a low voice, "You're going to die?!"

That clear, cold and worrying look was completely different from a woman whose eyes were always affectionate.

Xiao Wenyi was happy: "Yan'er, you still care about me, don't you—"

Lin Yaner lowered her eyes: "Just follow."

The atmosphere is a little weird.

Ji Yue, Wei Lian, Lin Yaner, Xiao Wen, the four of them sat together.

Lin Yan'er closed her eyes and was unusually quiet.

Xiao Wen said nervously: "Yan'er, don't be angry, have you forgotten? I am immune to all poisons."

Hundreds of poisons do not invade.

There was also the Qinggong that Lin Yaner teleported to Xiao Wen just now, far exceeding her usual strength. Move the finger to let the viper take back the snake letter, reminding him of the snake control technique that Myerna used in the palace...

Wei Lian's eyes darkened slightly.

Lin Yan'er suddenly opened her eyes, saw Xiao Wen, and was startled: "Why are you here?!"

Xiao Wen was stunned: "No... Did you let me come here?"

"When did I ask you to come here? Don't slander people!" Lin Yan'er felt a big headache, "Why do you always say things I haven't done at all? Are you sick..."

"Miss Lin." Wei Lian interrupted him, "You saved him just now."

Lin Yan'er paused and couldn't believe her: "Me, save him?"

Wei Lian nodded: "Yes. We saw it with our own eyes."

Lin Yan'er didn't believe it: "Don't join forces and lie to me, I was just sitting right here just now..."

Wei Lian raised his eyebrows.

Lin Yaner was not lying.

Things seem to be getting a little interesting.

Xiao Wen finally got the opportunity to join the team, naturally he refused to quit after being killed. Both Wei Lian and Ji Yue acquiesced, and Lin Yan'er alone would be useless to object.

A few days of trekking in the mountains and forests established a preliminary friendship - only between Wei Lian and Xiao Wen.

Three days later, they finally walked out of the mountains and entered the Liang Kingdom.

The division of Liang Guo's territory is very simple. In ancient times, there were twelve southern border regions, which are still divided into twelve great cities today. Names such as Moriatu Bazar Cambras City, Temuyihan Ulan Yamaka Lisa City... are directly transliterated according to the southern border.

Rao Shiwei couldn't forget it, and his eyes hurt when he saw this string of heady place names.

This was the case with Wei Lian, and of course those foreigners who had business dealings with Liang Guo had more headaches. So they simply and rudely gave Liang Guocheng a numerical code-from the first city, the second city to the twelve cities, which is easy to remember and clear at a glance.

Myerna is a saint, and the saint is of course in the first city.

They are now in the seventh city.

As soon as you step into the territory of Liang Kingdom, you can instantly feel the difference from the Central Plains. The girls on the street wore pigtails and veils, showing their arms, calves and arms without shyness, and they were all dressed in silver jewelry. The man was wearing a turban, a long coat, and leather boots. Vendors all around were shouting and shouting, speaking a language they did not understand.

Lin Yan'er's immoral attire in the Central Plains can be perfectly integrated into it.

However, her dress is a long skirt with very little fabric, and the style is still biased towards the Central Plains, which is different from the dresses of these girls.

There are girls and boys who are in love with each other kissing in public, and the others do not dodge and whistle at the couple.

Xiao Wen looked shocked: "It's really open to folk customs."

"Compared to this." Ji Yue was expressionless, "I'm more concerned about where I live tonight."

The architectural style here is very different from that of Qin Chu. He couldn't read a single word on the plaques on both sides, let alone communicate with the locals.

So the question is, how should they find the inn? You can't just break in to see it, it's bad if you accidentally enter the house.

Lin Yaner said proudly, "I know."

Wei Lian looked sideways: "Do you understand Liang Wen?"

"Although the slave family is from the Central Plains, the family is in the spice business. I used to stay here with my father for a period of time, and it can be regarded as half of my hometown." Lin Yan'er cast a wink, "It's wrapped in the slave family."

With Lin Yan'er's help, they quickly found a place to stay.

Xiao Wen's face darkened.

... Because Lin Yaner deliberately asked a handsome man for directions.

Lin Yan'er was also a great beauty, and the other party spoke gently to her. Xiao Wen couldn't understand what the two of them said, only seeing them chatting happily, the man said a few words, and Lin Yan'er giggled.

The two of them talked and put their arms together.

Xiao Wen couldn't help but stepped forward and pulled Lin Yaner: "Let her go!"

Of course, the man from Liang Guo couldn't understand what Xiao Wen was saying. He cast his doubtful eyes on Lin Yan'er and asked, "Who is he? Is your husband?"

Lin Yan'er casually replied in Nanjiang language: "I don't know, probably because I'm a beautiful Dengzi."

The man immediately protected Lin Yaner behind him, frowned and drove Xiao Wen away.

Xiao Wen's eyes turned red, and he was about to draw his sword.

Lin Yan'er mercilessly warned in Zhongyuan dialect: "If you dare to hurt people, don't come near me again."

Xiao Wen's blue veins jumped, but his hand on the handle of the knife was released.

Lin Yan'er was satisfied: "That's right. I've been vegetarian for so many days. If I don't find someone to sleep with, I'll be suffocated to death. He and I are going to the inn to run errands, you just need to keep up."

Seeing the backs of the two leaving together, Xiao Wen's fingers trembled, and he couldn't help roaring: "...will you die if you leave a man?!"

Lin Yaner paused and turned to look at him, calm and ruthless.

Then she smiled and said, "Yes."

Xiao Wen cried when he returned to the inn.

After Wei Lian found out, he brought two pots of wine and knocked on the door of Xiao Wen's room.

Routines are most effective when people are most vulnerable.

Wei Lian is so ruthless, calm, and very good at calculating people's hearts to people other than Ji Yue.

Hearing the knock on the door, the crying inside stopped, and after a while, Xiao Wencai opened the door as if nothing had happened.

His eyes were still red. The Rakshasa of the Megatron, crying for a woman like a child.

pitiful.

Wei Lian sighed softly, and went into the room and closed the door, without comforting him, just one word: "Drink."

Wei Lian can't drink enough, he doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, he is only responsible for getting drunk Xiao Wen.

Xiao Wenzheng was too sad and needed to drink wine to drown his sorrows. He didn't pay attention to whether Wei Lian drank or not, and drank many cups on his own.

In the end, I thought the cup was too small, so I picked up the wine jar and drank it.

After drinking, he threw the wine jar and cried again when he lay on the table: "Brother Wei! My life is so bitter!"

Appears to be drunk. Wei Lian thought to himself.

Rakshasa was five years older than him, and he even called him "brother", which shows that he has lost his mind.

He asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"I've loved her for seven years..." Xiao Wen's eyes were blurry and he twitched, "How could I... fall in love with such a woman. She has no heart..."

"It is said that love is sweet, how come it is so bitter..."

Wei Lian stated: "Love is sweet, unrequited love is bitter."

"I don't care!" Xiao Wen cried and said, "I recognize the hardship, it's been seven years, and I can't let her go. Brother Wei, I really envy you. How can you and Brother Yue just like each other? Woolen cloth?"

Wei Lian: "..." It seems that even if Xiao Wen is drunk enough to call him brother, Ji Yue is also a younger brother.

Do people become so scary when they're drunk? Wei Lian looked at the imageless Rakshasa thoughtfully, wondering what he was like when he was drunk... He must have lost his face in front of Ji Yue long ago.

Wei Lian said, "It's a coincidence that Miss Lin is also very envious of us."

Xiao Wen slapped the table and stood up: "Wei Yuzhi, you are not as comforting as you are!"

Wei Lian attacked: "How did you meet Miss Lin back then? Tell me, and I might be able to give you a trick."

"It's useless." Xiao Wen sat back down and waved his hands mockingly, "It's useless at all. She's just a piece of ice that won't melt. I've tried everything, and she'll just find me annoying."

"How do you know it's useless if you don't say it?" Wei Lian immediately smeared Ji Yue, "You don't know, don't look at me and Ayun now being in love with each other, he hated me back then. He is ruthless and suspicious and likes to be suspicious, it's all up to me Prescribe the right medicine and take it slow…”

Xiao Wen was stunned and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Wei, amazing."

"That's why," Wei Lian continued to persuade him, "Tell me, maybe I can really help you."

Xiao Wen thought about it and sighed: "Okay, then I'll tell you."

"Yan'er wasn't like this at the beginning." Xiao Wen said in a low voice, and suddenly spit out a plausible and terrifying sentence.

"I suspect that the current Yan'er... is not Yan'er."
