Perhaps it was the incident in Stone Town that made the Imperial Mission very embarrassing. The Imperial Mission cooperated very well on the next journey. Even if they were sleeping in the wild, they did not raise any objections. All are within Xiao Tianyao's tolerance.
The people of the imperial mission cooperated, and there were no more monsters along the way. Soon the group walked out of the boundary of Dongwen and came to the junction of the three kingdoms of Dongwen, Beili and Nanman.
Xiao Tianyao has been fighting against the people of Northern Li and Nanman all the year round, and the two countries have no power to fight. Both the Northern Li and Nanban people can't wait to eat Xiao Tianyao's flesh and drink Xiao Tianyao's blood, but they can't help Xiao Tianyao. This time the same.
With the people from the imperial embassy, even if the people from Nanman and Northern Li hated Xiao Tianyao, they could not move him, and even treated him politely as a guest, otherwise they would not give face to the imperial embassy.
Unlike Xiao Tianyao, the people of Nanman and Beili dared not look down on the people of the empire, and dared to neglect the people of the empire. As soon as they arrived at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, Nanman and Beili took over the food, drink, lodging and transportation of the imperial embassy.
In order to leave a good impression on the people of the imperial embassy, the people from Nanman and Northern Li are extremely luxurious, with incense cars, beautiful women, and fine wines, and they take care of the people on the embassy in every possible way.
At this moment, the people of the diplomatic mission have the feeling of being grandly received, and have the sense of superiority of the imperial people, but... No matter how well the people from Nanman and Beili are entertained, they have to leave, even if there are people from Nanman and Beili along the way. RBI, but also a lot worse.
From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult, the envoys who have just enjoyed a handful are still willing to hurry, complaining endlessly along the way, causing a lot of trouble to Nanman and Northern Li, but the envoys are still dissatisfied.
Xiao Tianyao just sneered when he saw this scene.
That's how people are. Not only will they not cherish things that are obtained too easily, but they will take them for granted, so from the beginning, he was not used to the people of the empire.
No matter how the people of the imperial mission complained, no matter how uncomfortable they were, the road ahead was still the same. A month later, they walked out of the territory of Shikoku and came to the vacuum area where the empire and Shikoku intersected.
There is a wasteland of nearly 10,000 acres between the empire and the four countries. The edge of the wasteland is guarded by the empire's heavy troops. People from the four countries are strictly prohibited from entering.
Xiao Tianyao, like all the people from the four countries, was the first time he came to this vacuum, and it was the first time he saw how desolate this wasteland was.
Different from the natural desolation in the northwest, this wasteland is completely desolate because of man-made. The wasteland is covered with green grass, lush and lush, very lush, the soil is moderately soft and hard, and the dry and wet conditions are suitable. Even people who don’t understand farming know that this place is very suitable for planting farmers, but because the empire wants to maintain a sense of mystery, in order not to Let the people of Shikoku enter, and Shengsheng left the land vacant.
Xiao Tianyao sat in the carriage, pointed to the open space in front of him, and said to Lin Chujiu: "70% of this land originally belonged to the people living in Beili. Although the people in Beili had a hard time at that time, they did not As for eating without food like now, a large number of people starve to death every year."
It can be said that the tragic situation of the Northern Calendar was caused by the empire, but as time passed, the people of Northern Calendar did not think about this issue at all.
"In addition to this wasteland that separates the empire and the four kingdoms, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile fields, which were originally owned by the people of Northern Li, but were later occupied by the empire." Not only fertile fields, but also mineral veins, all of which were occupied by the empire .
When the Shengyuan Dynasty split, the empire did not take the opportunity to swallow up the Shengyuan Empire, but it took away all the most valuable things in the Shengyuan Empire, so that over the years, the four countries have not recovered their vitality, and the people of the four countries have been living on the line of food and clothing. struggle on.
"The war is about money, and the empire is very smart. The Shengyuan Dynasty is too big. If the empire swallows up the Shengyuan Dynasty, they can't digest it, and it will be chaotic within a few years." After more than a year Lin Chujiu already knew the history very well. Although she didn't know what Xiao Tianyao said, she knew what he was talking about.
However, what puzzled Lin Chujiu was that Xiao Tianyao seemed to love to mention the Shengyuan Dynasty, and even when he talked about the Shengyuan Dynasty, there was a hint of regret and sadness, as if he had seen the prosperity of the Shengyuan Dynasty. Although Xiao Tianyao is several years older than her, it is impossible for him to have a chance to see the prosperity of the Shengyuan Dynasty
Lin Chujiu thought about it for a while, but he didn't think about anything valuable, so he thought too much.
After multiple inspections, the group really stepped into the wasteland. The wasteland lives up to its name. It is desolate everywhere. Except for the grass on the ground, you can't even see a tree that is half a person high. You can't be invisible in the wasteland. Naturally, there is no need for guards to patrol back and forth. The huge wasteland Only one of their carriages moved forward unhurriedly.
Every 10,000 meters in the wasteland, there is a post, to prevent people from the four countries from sneaking into the empire, and also to prevent people from the empire from sneaking into the four countries, and every post needs to be re-checked, even the imperial prince is no exception.
"Check it out layer by layer. It's really an extravagant hope to sneak into the empire." Lin Chujiu had seen the empire's defense against the four countries. The people of the empire didn't take the people of the four countries as human beings at all, they were completely guarded by thieves. .
"So, the people of the four countries have never been able to find out the information of the empire. The four countries don't know how powerful the empire is now, when they are in turmoil, and what new discoveries they have made. What the empire shows the people of the four countries will always belong to the empire Powerful and prosperous. But to the Empire, Shikoku is their back garden, and there is no secret. If there is any movement in the Shikoku, everyone in the Empire will know that if a little splash is thrown, the Empire will press it down." In the Empire's Under the strong pressure, the four countries have no future at all, and they can only become subordinates of the empire forever.
When Xiao Tianyao said this, his tone was calm, as if he was stating objective facts, but Lin Chujiu could hear the loss and subtle ambition in his words.
At this moment, Lin Chujiu finally wanted to understand why Xiao Tianyao felt regret and sadness when he mentioned the Shengyuan Dynasty. Xiao Tianyao is an ambitious man. What he wants is never the throne of Dongwen. What he wants is the unification of the four kingdoms and the creation of a prosperous world of Shengyuan.
For a moment, Lin Chujiu was really frightened, but thinking about what Xiao Tianyao had done, Lin Chujiu could understand it again. Looking at the Jin Wuwei he created, he knew that he had a big plan.
Lin Chujiu fixed her figure and held Xiao Tianyao's hand tightly: "There will be hope, haven't we come to the empire?"
She knows what Xiao Tianyao wants to do, if that is what Xiao Tianyao wants, then she is willing to accompany him...
