"Young Master Ye, isn't it very big outside?"
"Young Master Ye, how big is it outside?"
"Ye Gongzi, have you ever seen the sea? What does the sea look like? What color is it? I read that there is no limit, is it true?"
"Young master..."
Since noon that day, Ren Baqian has always heard "wild master" and questions one after another, and Ren Baqian couldn't help but ask, "Are you a hundred thousand why?"
Having said that, Ren Baqian didn't feel bored in his heart. This girl has a trait that makes it hard to hate her. Even if she asks some very naive questions, it just makes people think that she should be like this .
"What is one hundred thousand why?"
Ren Baqian: ...
"In the future, you will know when you see it with your own eyes. It is better to hear what others say than to see it yourself." Ren Baqian replied. He has never seen the sea in this world, what if he said it was blue, but it was actually red, yellow, green, and black
The earth also has the Red Sea and the Black Sea. Although he has never been there, he does not know if it is really red or black. At least part of the Yellow Sea is indeed yellow, mainly because there is too much sand in the water and the sea water is turbid.
"I don't know when I can go out and have a look..." Speaking of going out, Zhan Caixian was also a little distracted, she had never even traveled far, and the furthest time was when she went to Tianyun Mountain with her father last time.
As for the Land of Sky View, she knew from a very young age that she couldn't go out, because there were vicious barbarians outside.
Father and the uncles in the house hated those barbarians very much, but she didn't dislike barbarians much after she had been exposed to them since she was a child. She just wanted to go out and have a look. I heard that the outside world is very big and beautiful, even more beautiful than the Golden Ring Mansion.
Zhan Caixian was in a daze for a moment.
Ren Baqian looked at her side face, then shifted his gaze to other places.
Zhan Caixian has the characteristics of an immigrant from the country of Hao, with a wide forehead, and her facial features are not very delicate, and her mouth is a bit big, but the facial features fit her face just right, giving people a stunning feeling.
No matter who sees her, the first reaction is beauty.
Ren Baqian doesn't mind admiring the beauty, but he doesn't want to get too familiar with her, and he won't be able to bear it when the time comes.
"Young Master Ye, is the Izumo Kingdom very big? I heard they say it is very prosperous, is it more prosperous than Thorn City?" Zhan Caixian was only quiet for a while, and then focused on new problems.
Zhan Caixian asked a bunch of questions, then suddenly stopped talking, stared in one direction, and ran over cheerfully within a few minutes.
Ren Baqian was a little surprised at first, but when he looked towards her, he found that she was chasing a butterfly.
For a normal journey of eight or nine days, Ren Baqian and his party walked for twelve days. For two days, Ren Baqian returned to Earth, and for other days, Zhan Caixian ran away after chasing butterflies and insects.
Although Ren Baqian tried his best to avoid it, after twelve days, he still became acquainted with the girl named Zhan Caixian.
After all, she is the kind of girl who is hard to guard against and annoying.
Even if she knew it was hostile, she would gradually accept her.
Even Lin Qiaole is very familiar with her.
But familiarity does not mean that the relationship between the two is good. On the contrary, the relationship between the two is not very good. There is a reason for this...
It happened on a bright afternoon.
"The flowers are faded, red and green apricots are small. When the swallows fly, the green water is surrounded by people. There are few willows blowing on the branches. Where is there no fragrant grass at the end of the world!
The swing inside the wall is outside the wall. There are people outside the wall, and the beautiful people inside the wall laugh. The laughter gradually faded away. Passionate but ruthless annoyed”
The singing from the carriage was clear and sweet, Ren Baqian opened the curtain of the ox cart and glanced at the carriage, only to see Zhan Caixian sticking her head out and looking at the road on both sides, singing lyrics and music, with a happy expression on her face .
In fact, she is always happy. These days, what Ren Baqian sees in her every day is happiness, cheerfulness, and full of vitality. It seems that the word "sorrow" does not exist for her.
The people in the company looked at her with doting eyes, and her cheerfulness also infected other people, and even the journey was not so boring.
"Take a break." Ren Baqian stretched his waist and said to the coachman.
After a while, the whole team stopped on the side of the road, next to a stretch of endless farmland, where some farmers were doing farm work, and some children were running on the paths between the fields.
The team stopped, and everyone dismounted from the car to stretch their muscles.
"Ye Gongzi, what kind of clothes are you wearing in Izumo Kingdom? Is this what you wear?" Zhan Caixian jumped out of the carriage and ran to Ren Baqian to continue asking why, but within a few minutes he was happy to see the butterflies in the distance ran over.
Ren Baqian felt that she should have a lot of kung fu, which could be seen from the moment she got on and off the carriage. But when she was chasing butterflies, she was just like an ordinary person, showing no kung fu in her body, and her movements were a little clumsy.
After a while, Zhan Caixian ran back from a distance holding a large blue butterfly in both hands, being careful not to damage the butterfly. Every time she got off the car, she couldn't help but catch the butterflies when she saw them, but when she was leaving, she would let the butterflies fly.
"Look, it's so beautiful!" Zhan Caixian ran to Ren Baqian and held it in both hands for Ren Baqian to take a look.
"Very beautiful." Ren Baqian echoed.
Zhan Caixian ran to Lin Qiaole again: "Sister Lin, look!"
"Well, it's so beautiful."
Then a gust of wind blew by, and Zhan Caixian's hands became empty.
"Well, it's not very tasty..." Lin Qiaole said with a bit of regret.
Zhan Caixian had a dull expression on her face, she opened her mouth wide and didn't say a word for a long time. It took a while to realize the fact that Lin Qiaole had swallowed his butterfly alive, and ran back to the carriage.
"On purpose?" Ren Baqian said casually as he watched her run back to the carriage before walking to Lin Qiaole's side.
"What's on purpose? I really want to eat it, but it's not very tasty." Lin Qiaole said lazily.
Ren Baqian didn't say anything more after hearing the words, but at night, when Zhan Caixian got off the carriage, the circles of his eyes were a little red. It seemed that he had cried in the afternoon. I don't know if he was crying about the tragic fate of the butterfly. , still crying that her baby was eaten by Lin Qiaole.
This was also the first time Ren Baqian saw her showing an unhappy expression.
The next day, Zhan Caixian regained her vigor, but after catching the butterfly, she never went to Lin Qiaole again, and when she released the butterfly, she had to check if Lin Qiaole had returned to the bullock cart, as if she was guarding against thieves .
After eleven days' journey, Tianyun Mountain was already in sight.
"How much longer?" Ren Baqian asked as he opened the curtain and looked at the mountains in the distance.
"Young Master Ye, we will arrive in one day."
…
In Gucheng, the empress looked at the empty candy tree and had been in a daze for a long time.
When there are no colorful candies, this is just a dead tree.
After Ren Baqian left, she was alone.
"Your Majesty? What do you want for dinner?" Hong Yuan asked behind the empress.
"Your Majesty?" Hong Luan called again softly.
"What?" The Empress finally came back to her senses.
"What do you want for dinner?"
"Anything you want." The empress said lightly.
After dinner, the Empress suddenly said: "Get ready, I'm going to see the Tianjing Land tomorrow, I still don't know what kind of life those survivors of the Hao Kingdom lived under my rule, why are they always Restless."
"Yes. I'm going to notify Xi Duhu and arrange for manpower."
"There is no need to inform him." The Empress stopped her. "I want to see it myself, I don't want to listen to his nonsense."
"Your Majesty!" Qingyuan and Hongluan were startled, and then asked again: "Your Majesty, then I will inform Deputy Commander Xiong."
"Not even the guards." The Empress said. "As an ordinary person, I will go and see for myself. The two of you will accompany you, and the others will wait in Gucheng."
