Views:

Since getting rid of Zhan Beiye that night, nothing happened in the next few days. Yao Xun kept his word and followed them honestly, but Meng Fuyao thought that he was willing to stay because he saw Yuan Zhaoxu that night. The martial arts, count on finding an umbrella.

This day has arrived in the suburbs of Taiyuan Yanjing, the three of them found an inn to rest, Meng Fuyao hurriedly started to practice kung fu, these few days of hard work and consolidation, she felt that the fourth layer of Kung Fu of breaking Jiuxiao was about to be completed .

The sand in the hourglass flowed down silently, and after three hours, Meng Fuyao opened his eyes, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

After taking the sword from the table, with a touch of luck, a bluish radiance rose from the blade, which is the fourth layer of light. Compared with the previous few days, today's light is more gorgeous and soft, with a purer color.

"You're done!" Meng Fuyao jumped off the bed with a smile, "Who should I ask for a kiss?"

After speaking, he immediately slapped himself, "Don't make random associations!"

She lay down comfortably, took out the three babies in her arms, and stroked them carefully.

This is a customs clearance order that she has spent a lot of time getting.

There has always been a secret legend circulating in the Wuzhou Continent. If you collect all the seven talisman cards from the Seven Kingdoms, you can travel across the country and the Wuzhou Continent. All the way to the north, you will reach the northernmost Dizhou. On the Evergreen Temple, there are people with great supernatural powers and great wisdom, who can solve all difficulties and difficulties in the world.

Meng Fuyao didn't need help from others, but he had a huge problem, which he relied on supernatural powers to solve.

But how easy is it to reach the altar? The five continents were originally five countries, and one country occupied one continent. Later, the countries fought and competed for territory. In the past thirty years, the five countries have been divided into seven countries, and the five continents have been cut into pieces. Now each guards its territory. Although the superficial peace is maintained, they are actually covetous with each other. Most of the soldiers border the border and prohibit communication with other countries. It is said that a bird feather from the Tiansha Dynasty will be smashed into powder immediately if it falls on the territory of the Xuanyuan Dynasty in the neighboring country.

Fortunately, this world respects the strong and opens the door to them. Thirty years ago, except for the sky, the other six countries formed an alliance in the Hengzhou Promise Congress in the center of the mainland. The ten most powerful men in the world issued the "Six Kingdoms Order". Those who hold this order can travel through the six countries without hindrance, and reach any place on the five continents except the sky and the palaces of various countries.

In fact, it was just a gesture to sell well. With the abilities of those ten strong men, they could get the token anywhere without taking it.

After taking it, it would be a shame to go to the inner palace to watch the eunuch wash the concubine's underwear.

Of course, with Meng Fuyao's current abilities, he didn't even think about that token.

This road is blocked and there are other roads. Since each of the five continents has its own production, the commercial, military and people's livelihood of each country is dependent on each other. Over the years, countries have gradually realized the important role of commercial circulation in the development of national power and economy. Five years ago, in Wuji Country With the efforts of the amazingly talented and well-known Prince Wuji, the Seven Kingdoms began to issue pass-through talismans within a certain range for use by the upper-level officials and businessmen of their own country and other countries when they travel between friendly countries, so as to achieve political and commercial goals. The availability of intercommunication on the Internet can be regarded as a diplomatic pass, which enjoys certain rights of passage and official protection.

This right of passage is not even affected by the war. Even if the two countries suddenly go to war, these giant businessmen with orders will be politely sent out of the country, and then put on a stance to fight.

Just for the sake of prevention and vigilance, this kind of distribution is strictly controlled, and it is only concentrated on the big chaebols and giant merchants with monopoly positions in various countries, as well as the upper-level officials on missions. safe passage.

Without this kind of thing, it will encounter a lot of troubles when traveling, which is equivalent to the current smuggling, but there is no such thing as repatriation in this era, it is directly served by swords and axes.

The situation among countries is complicated, there are many barriers, and the road to the Evergreen Temple is long and difficult. It is impossible for Meng Fuyao to go all the way to the temple. She needs as much protection as possible, so that the road to adventure can go further in the future .

So after she got the news, she started to collect the travel tokens of various countries.

Two months ago, a giant merchant from the Xuanji Dynasty came to the Taiyuan Dynasty to develop the timber business. He took dozens of cars of goods and packed up the entire inn. The corridors were full, and the lights of the inn remained on all night. By the next morning, the giant businessman was still stripped of his clothes, and the customs clearance symbol was missing.

A month ago, Sima Rui, an important minister of the Xuanyuan Dynasty who was on a mission by water, saw a beautiful big boat swaggering all the way on the Yuan River.

It's a pity that the next day, a scream almost knocked down the building, and Sima Rui rushed out under the eyes of everyone, shouting, "My clearance talisman is gone!"

There was a sudden chaos on the building boat, Sima Rui quickly mobilized troops to surround the river, and sent troops to search the fishing villages on the bank. Countless people accepted the interrogation, but found nothing. He pleaded guilty to the imperial court and left Yuanjiang in despair.

The accompanying soldiers were not so depressed, they talked with great interest about the boat lady they met during the search.

The fish soup was delicious, and the live fish was fresh. Unfortunately, no one saw what was hidden in the belly of the fish in the steaming heat.

As for the harvest on Xuanyuan Mountain a few days ago, it was a coincidence that I accidentally met that flustered man who was alone on the mountain, and a suspicion was overturned, and the customs clearance order of Tiansha was found on him.

Meng Fuyao already has the Token Talismans of Xuanyuan, Tiansha, and Taiyuan. In the future, when he goes to the Evergreen Temple and gathers all the Tokens of the Seven Kingdoms, it may be equivalent to the "Token of the Seven Kingdoms", and it is more likely to get the help of the priests some.

Due to the different degrees of diplomatic relations between countries, it is not necessary to issue a pass order to every country. Meng Fuyao needs to make a permutation and selection during this process. Zhan Beiye, who was ordered by Suo Tiansha, felt that the future was quite bleak, so he couldn't help sighing.

He sighed halfway in one breath, and suddenly heard the sound of sighing on the beam.

※※※

Meng Fuyao's scare was no small matter, with a flick of his fingers, he had already swept the three customs clearance tokens on the table into his lapel, his heart pounded wildly for a while, secretly hating himself for being careless, why didn't anyone on the beam notice

After thinking about it, it's not right, Liang is so short, he can't hide people at all, how could he not notice it

As soon as she looked up, sure enough, Hamtaro on the beam was baring her big snow-white teeth.

Meng Fuyao was furious, and cursed, "Who would sigh like that? Don't you know that rats scare people to death?"

Master Yuan Bao didn't bother to talk to her at all.

Meng Fuyao cursed for a while, suddenly felt something was wrong, and murmured, "I've never heard of animals sighing... ah!" She raised her head and stared at Master Yuan Bao, "Say! Did you emit harmful gas just now?"

Master Yuan Bao bared his teeth even more.

Meng Fuyao stared darkly at the shameless fat rat wantonly emitting harmful gas upwind, Master Yuan Bao pretended not to notice, turned around waddlingly, flicked his buttocks.

A long scroll of paper suddenly hangs down from behind its tail, and it is unrolled in the air. The handwriting on the fluttering paper is small and elegant, and it reads:

"Climbing walls, boarding houses, basking in the moon, there is nothing more satisfying in life than this."

Meng Fuyao tore off the note, read it again and again, and couldn't help smiling.

He added a few words hastily, and waved it at Master Yuan Bao. Master Yuan Bao looked over, and really disdainful of her sloppy writing. Then he turned his buttocks and waited for her to tie the note up again. Meng Fuyao hurriedly put the note away. Go back, flick its nose, laugh and jump up the room.

On the roof, someone is lazily basking in the moonlight, holding a pillow with his arm, and playing with a white jade cup with one hand, with a leisurely posture.

The night breeze is clear and sweet, it is the aroma of osmanthus mixed with new chrysanthemums in late autumn, which is rich and light. Looking down from the corner of the green eaves, a row of osmanthus trees are planted in the courtyard. Not wanting to let Fanghua down, she scattered the enchanting fragrance everywhere, and occasionally some broken flowers were picked up by the wind and landed on Yuan Zhaoxu's cheeks, making his skin as smooth as jade.

The wind picked up Yuan Zhaoxu's loose and light-colored robes. His natural temperament was graceful and graceful, and he was still with a bit of a sense of relaxation. Meng Fuyao stood quietly in the corner of the eaves, looking at him from afar, thinking of the cave behind Xuanyuan On that night in the middle of the night, the embarrassed self saw the figure dancing sword in the middle of the moon through the entrance of the cave.

Meng Fuyao smiled slightly in the wind, a smile as small as an osmanthus flower, the moment it flashed, it disappeared in an instant.

She suddenly stomped her feet heavily, strode over, grabbed the jug beside Yuan Zhaoxu, poured it with a gurgle, and handed the note to Yuan Zhaoxu.

Yuan Zhaoxu unfolded and raised his eyebrows with a smile.

"Digging graves, robbing graves, blowing out lamps, life is miserable, nothing is more miserable than this."

Meng Fuyao drank heavily, thinking about the night of terror in the tomb, thinking about the howling of the fat man protecting the chrysanthemum, thinking about the years of separation, whether the time and space of Wuzhou Continent is parallel to his own world, and mother, I don’t know how it is now Already...

Thinking of this, my heart hurts, something is stuck in my throat, Meng Fuyao hastened to gulp it down.

Yuan Zhaoxu's voice was low, "Have you ever dug a grave?"

Meng Fuyao turned her head with drunken eyes, and smiled, "Well, that's right, I often meet with dead bones kindly."

There was deep thought in Yuan Zhaoxu's voice, "Is it difficult for you to make a living? You must know that the graves of nobles from five continents are full of traps. As a woman, how did you dig them?"

Meng Fuyao was startled, and thought that she was really drunk, so she couldn't talk about everything, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Hey, why did you help me?"

There was a moment of silence.

Meng Fuyao didn't urge him, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, the moonlight was quiet and beautiful, as bright and clean as jade, but it looked a bit cold.

"I saw that scene," Yuan Zhaoxu said vaguely, and of course both of them knew what they were referring to, "but what really made me strike was the look on your face when you emerged from the cliff."

There was a moment of silence, Yuan Zhaoxu raised his glass with a smile and sip, in the clear wine, he saw the girl's eyes at that moment, sharp, cool, with the vicissitudes of quenching that don't belong to this age.

Such vicissitudes...so subtle yet so deep, so uncoordinated on such a young and delicate face, it makes one's heart feel like being twisted, and it hurts slightly.

At that moment, he was even surprised that he would feel a little pain from the look in the eyes of a stranger.

"Oh..." Meng Fuyao's answer came after a while, her voice sounded a bit weird, "Thank you then, Meng Fuyao will repay your kindness one day."

This sentence, she took four sips of wine and finished speaking three times.

Yuan Zhaoxu's hand, which had been turning the wine glass, paused for a moment, and then resumed turning. His graceful brows showed no expression, and even his tone did not change, "Well, good."

Meng Fuyao, who had been anxiously waiting for his answer, was startled, and couldn't help turning his head in astonishment—is it that simple? finished

I turned my head halfway and immediately turned it back vigorously, so hard that I could hear the rattling sound of my neck bones - I couldn't show him my astonishment, otherwise what would it be

So much the better.

Meng Fuyao smiled and drank heavily.

A jug of wine quickly went down halfway, and his hand was suddenly held down, and Yuan Zhaoxu said in a deep voice, "Don't drink it."

Meng Fu shook his head, "Huh?"

Her long hair is disheveled in the wind, her cheeks are slightly blush after drinking, her usually bright and sober eyes are now blurred by mist, her whole person looks shrouded in smoke, with a dewy peony posture, Yuan Zhaoxu looks at her, and there is also in her eyes Some are slightly rippling.

Then he regained his composure, and said with a smile, "Look."

Meng Fuyao turned his head in a daze, and saw the direction indicated by Yuan Zhaoxu, on the street outside the inn, several riders galloped quickly.

Immediately, the knight was in a hurry, piercing through the darkness like an arrow, and disappeared at the end of the street in a blink of an eye.

Meng Fuyao lay on the eaves and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

"Qi Xunyi's Anbu is exclusively for him to contact various forces and deliver orders."

"You are a native of Wuji, why do you even know this?" Meng Fuyao turned to look at Yuan Zhaoxu, his eyes changing in the darkness.

"I am the staff member of Prince Wuji's Shangyang Palace, specializing in intelligence."

"Prince Wuji?" Meng Fuyao smiled, "Ever since I came to the Wuzhou Continent, I can hardly hear the name of this person. What kind of emperor descended from heaven, a peerless prodigy, a child prodigy, a unparalleled wisdom... is that still a person?"

Speaking of this, her heart moved slightly, and she vaguely thought of something, but the thought was fleeting, too fast to catch.

Yuan Zhaoxu smiled slightly, and answered concisely, "It's a human being."

He paused, his tone turned solemn, and he said, "Fuyao, chaos is about to break out in Yanjing. After entering Beijing, I may not be able to be with you. Are you sure you can protect yourself?"

Meng Fuyao turned to look at Yuan Zhaoxu, he rarely looked so cautious, but it was impossible for Meng Fuyao to give up Yanjing and his party, Emperor Taiyuan celebrated his birthday, envoys from all over the world would come, dignitaries gathered, it was a good chance to get customs clearance , Some countries need to cross the border. For example, if Fufeng wants to reach Taiyuan, it needs to go through the Wuji Kingdom. If you are lucky, you can take this opportunity to get the customs clearance orders of various countries.

"I never thought of relying on you for the rest of my life." Meng Fuyao patted the ashes on his clothes and walked down, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

She walked resolutely and fearlessly. Behind her, Yuan Zhaoxu stared at her back for a long time with thoughtful eyes.

And in the farther sky, a thin line of red jumps slightly, and the morning sun will rise.
