Nanxia has natural dangers.
The three major natural moat gates, headed by the rejection of the North Pass, are connected into a line, separating the north and the south.
After rejecting Beiguan, it was Beicheng.
Most of the people in the city were the family members of the soldiers who guarded the customs here. Over time, it slowly developed and became a large-scale border city.
-There are soldiers and immortals in the city. Each of the three major gates has nearly 100 Yuan Ying realm cultivators in charge, and the city walls are guarded day and night to prevent accidents.
Ling Fengxiao has the Phoenix Order in hand, which allows them to pass through all the gates without hindrance, but they can't leak any news during this trip, and they have to make plans.
Lin Shu originally thought that they would climb over the nearby mountains and go directly to the Northern Xia Realm, but did not expect the eldest lady to enter the customs—perhaps for some other purpose.
Lin Shu asked, "How did you get there?"
Ling Fengxiao said: "Wait."
They waited.
The evening sun was about to sink, and the distant scenery was blurred by fog. Ling Fengxiao explained the plan for the night to Lin Shu in detail.
"Today's court situation is unstable, the main battle, the main and the two parties are attacking and biting each other, Sima Youcheng and Zhao Shangshu were dismissed and imprisoned, the men were conscripted into the army, and the women were exiled to the border." Ling Fengxiao said lightly, "According to the day, today We will arrive at the Northern Pass in the evening."
Lin Shu: "Shall we sneak in?"
Ling Fengxiao said: "Yes."
Later, he added: "Other methods can also enter the city, but in this way, it will be inconvenient to leave the city in the future."
Lin Shu: "?"
Ling Fengxiao found a leeward place, spread a layer of fur on the ground, sat down with Lin Shu, hugged him, turned sideways to block the cold wind, and then explained.
Lin Shu listened.
- The plan is like this, the two of them first sneaked into the two families of exiled female relatives and were charged into the "red account".
Where is the red tent
military prostitute.
Since ancient times, there have been women accompanying the army in the dynasty. Most of them are composed of the family members of criminal ministers, maids, and prisoners of war elsewhere. They are also called "laundry yards".
The red tent is right in the middle of the army, and it cannot be closer to the north-south border.
"Ten years ago, Sima Youcheng was gracious to the Phoenix family. There was a fierce competition between the DPRK and the Chinese party. Phoenix Villa could not intervene, and he could only let Youcheng be sent to prison. Now his wife and daughter are exiled to the border, and they have been humiliated in the laundry. The purpose of mixing into the red tent this time is to rescue them."
Lin Shu nodded: "Yes."
"After saving people, you and I also disguised as military prostitutes who escaped and went outside the city."
Lin Shu: "And then what?"
Ling Fengxiao looked into the distance and said slowly: "Thirty miles outside the city, there is a 'black market'. The relationship between Beixia and Nanxia has been tense over the years, and there is no longer a mutual market, but the black market still has private exchanges of goods."
The fur and metals produced in the northern summer, as well as the tea, calligraphy and painting in the southern summer, are all circulated in this black market.
The market is a black market, and businessmen are naturally dishonest businessmen.
However, such merchants often have extraordinary means, and can bring the things of Nanxia back to Beixia without being detained.
If you can bring things back, you can also bring people back.
Of course, taking people is extremely dangerous.
However, the saying that people die for wealth and birds die for food is not a lie.
Ling Fengxiao raised Lin Shu's chin, looked left and right, and said with a smile, "Tell me, how much can the two of us sell?"
Lin Shu thought for a while: "Probably not cheap."
Ling Fengxiao said: "If the two of us are together, we will probably be able to sell for sky-high prices. Black market merchants will not be tempted. In this way, we will be sold to Beixia and come to Beixia's powerful family."
Lin Shu: "..."
This plan is fine.
They pretended to be military prostitutes who escaped from the red tent, and in a hurry, they stumbled into the black market by accident - that kind of mixed place, presumably the crime rate is very high, once the crime rate is committed, robbing individuals is not a big deal.
Then, he and Ling Fengxiao would fall into the hands of black market merchants, and soon flow to Beixia.
In the end, they will have a useful identity in Beixia - although this identity may not be glorious.
In addition, because he was actually a boy, Lin Shu felt very uncomfortable.
But think about it, being bought by face is indeed the fastest way to enter the upper class of Beixia.
Then, the two may have the opportunity to be able to watch "Amaterasuhui".
- As for how to get the blood poison sample, that's another matter.
The night is getting darker, and the city lights are dimly lit.
Ling Fengxiao hugged Lin Shu a little tighter: "Is it cold?"
Lin Shu: "It's not cold."
Although the clothes are not thick, the eldest lady has been consciously exuding some spiritual power from the fire, which has protected him from the erosion of the cold wind.
It would be a bit strange for a boy to be hugged by a girl like this if he didn't dress up as a woman, but at this time, he felt that it was acceptable to pretend to be a weak girl.
He leaned against the eldest lady and had nothing to do except observe the embroidered shapes on the eldest lady's clothes.
Watching, watching, realizing a problem.
There is a problem with his women's clothing.
It's not about the dress, it's about the chest.
From his perception, girls have more or less breasts.
He looked down at himself, stunned.
Lin Shu: "..."
He wanted to tell the eldest lady this question, but when she saw the eldest lady—
It doesn't seem to be ups and downs
All right.
There's probably nothing wrong with your chest.
He continued to be held by the eldest lady's shoulders peacefully, waiting for the convoy to escort the female family members to arrive.
The night completely covered the whole world, the moon rose, the sky was a deep black color, and there was a continuous Milky Way above it.
The eldest lady said: "The school palace is full of bamboo, and the night sky here is not as beautiful."
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
"Yeah." After that, he felt that this answer was a bit perfunctory, and he was expected to be beaten, and added: "Chuixing Waterfall has no bamboo, so it looks good."
The eldest lady looked at the sky and said, "Then when we return to the school, we will go to the Chuixing Waterfall to watch the stars."
Lin Shu: "Okay."
The eldest lady said: "Although we can watch the stars without restraint, we have already had a hard time with the court."
Lin Shu asked, "How do you say it?"
The lady told him a story.
It all started with a funeral five years ago.
The highly respected Mr. Xiushui passed away, and two well-educated scholars, Mr. Su and Mr. Cheng, had a quarrel over the ritual system, and one of them sneered at the other.
The sarcastic Mr. Su certainly has his reasons, but the ridiculed Mr. Cheng may not be genuinely angry.
If they were ordinary people, it would be fine, but these two are absolutely extraordinary people. They both hold important positions in the court. Mr. Cheng, who was ridiculed, was full of peach and plum, with countless disciples and students, and his teacher was ridiculed. How could he not hold grudges
What's more, these two gentlemen have different political views, and they have always been misunderstood when it comes to reforming the new law, the main battle, and the other, and the students of the two sides also have a bad relationship.
After a period of time, Mr. Cheng's students found an excuse to attack Mr. Su in the courtroom, suing Mr. Su for a problem with the questions when presiding over the bachelor's college examination, for being satirical about the government and disrespectful to His Majesty.
Mr. Su naturally has to defend himself, and Mr. Su's close friend is even more sparse, pointing out that this is an obvious public revenge for private revenge.
Originally, this time the sparseness was justified and well-founded, but the bad thing is that this close friend is not only Mr. Su's close friend, but also his fellow countryman.
He said that Mr. Cheng's side is suspected of being cronies, and Mr. Cheng's side can also attack them and form gangs.
New and old grievances came up together, and the two factions went back and forth to attack and criticize, and the situation was almost unstoppable.
The criticisms of these learned Confucian scholars will naturally not stop at such a low level as personal attacks, but must start with serious political issues such as political opinions and new laws.
If you insist on the main battle, I will complain about the drawbacks of the war; if you advocate reform, I will attack the drawbacks of the new law.
Nanxia's courtroom has since become smoky.
This matter was originally very serious, but it may be because the eldest lady was in a good mood, and she only spoke in a story-telling tone. When it came to the wonderful place, she even lost both parties.
Lin Shu couldn't help but smile.
—Then she was hugged and kneaded by the eldest lady, and she was a little breathless.
The eldest lady then laid him down and lay down herself, looking at the bright moon and stars in the sky together, without speaking for a long time.
He and the eldest lady were leaning against each other, with shallow breathing in his ears, and his whole body was very warm. He felt that the world was very quiet and beautiful.
