Sima Hao glanced at him and said: "On the one hand, I don't want those treasures to never see the light of day. On the other hand, I want to take a gamble on you."

Feng Zimo was stunned: "What are you betting on me for?"

"Troubled times are the last thing that people want to see, but similarly, troubled times are also an era where talents emerge in large numbers. This was the case in the Three Kingdoms era, which was also a troubled time. But no matter which troubled times it is, no one can do what you do.

You are a third-grade military general at a young age, and you are still the prince of the country. You have unlimited possibilities in the future, so I want to take a gamble on you."

Feng Zimo understood what Sima Hao meant and said, "You want to see if I will rebel in the future? And then end this troubled world?"

Sima Hao smiled: "Don't tell me that you are loyal to Liang Guo. Loyalty is the most worthless thing in today's world. The master doesn't know when he will be killed. Who are you loyal to?"

"Nanchen General Huo Yu is very loyal to Nanchen!" Huo Qiushi on the side retorted.

Sima Hao glanced at her: "General Huo is indeed very valuable in these troubled times. If the old general was in a prosperous age, then many people in later generations would praise him for his loyalty and courage. Of course, there will also be many people in troubled times.

Praise him, but you may think he is a bit foolish and loyal, right? After all, Nanchen was a purgatory on earth at that time."

Feng Zimo said: "What you said is too one-sided. Indeed, from the perspective of future generations, General Huo is indeed foolish and loyal, and even a little stupid. But it is precisely because there have been many such stupid people for thousands of years.

Only then can the character of this land be passed down to this day, right? Most of us cannot be as 'silly' as them, but most of us will respect them and follow their examples."

Sima Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are right."

At this time, a sound of horse hoofbeats sounded from a distance, judging from the sound, there were more than a hundred people.

Huo Qiushi: "That Lie Yu must have followed the horse's hoof prints and chased him. What should I do?"

Sima Hao struggled to stand up. At this time, his body was trembling due to pain, and his lips had turned black due to the poison. He steeled himself, took Feng Zimo's sword, and said: "You guys

Come on, I'll hold them back."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and Huo Qiushi said: "You are going to die if you face them like this."

"I know. But I have been poisoned by a strange poison. No matter what, I will not survive tonight. Rather than lying on the ground and dying in extreme pain, it is better to die standing like a hero, and it will not be considered as a disgrace to the name of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

"

Huo Qiushi wanted to say something else, but Feng Zimo raised his hand to stop him. He cupped his fists at Sima Hao and said, "Brother Sima, take care."

Feng Zimo picked up Li Zhitong who was sleeping on the ground, got on the horse with Huo Qiushi, looked back at Sima Hao, and walked away.

Seeing Lie Yu and the men in black getting closer and closer, Sima Hao's eyes showed a trace of determination. He roared, drew his sword and rushed over.

"kill!"

…

After running a certain distance, the two reined in their horses. Huo Qiushi said: "Brother Zimo, do you really not care about him?"

Feng Zimo said: "He is already destined to die. Even if we take action, he won't live long. And this is his last dignity as a descendant of the Northern Jin Dynasty royal family. It's better for us not to intervene."

"I see."

"Okay, let's go, he won't be able to hold you back for long."

While the two were talking, Sima Hao had already met the men in black led by Lie Yu. He roared and killed four or five men in black in a row. However, after that, due to the pain and the poison in his body, Sima Hao gradually started to move.

Slowing down, Lie Yu saw the opportunity and rushed in front of him, knocking him to the ground with a fan.

Sima Hao wanted to get up, but his body no longer had any strength. Lie Yu stepped on his chest and said expressionlessly: "My patience is gone. Tell me where the key is?"

Sima Hao laughed twice: "I've already told you, don't even think about getting the key."

Lie Yu was about to say something when he suddenly noticed the empty sword box and sheepskin on the ground not far away. He walked over and took a look. At this time, the treasure map on the sheepskin had begun to slowly disappear.

"I see."

Lie Yu walked back to Sima Hao and squatted down, saying, "You gave the key and treasure map to that Long Ze, right?"

At this time, Sima Hao was in so much pain that he could not speak, but his eyes had already told Lie Yu the answer.

"Thank you, you are no longer useful." Lie Yu showed a smile, then stretched out his hand and broke Sima Hao's neck.

Lie Yu stood up and clapped his hands, looking calm and relaxed.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" A man in black came over and asked.

"Find out where Long Ze and the girl named Huo are going, and be sure not to alert the enemy."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my subordinates understand."

…

early morning.

Behind a hillside, Feng Zimo lit a fire, took out the sesame cakes from the bag, and put them on the fire to roast until soft.

Huo Qiushi sat aside with her legs in her arms. She was sleepy and hungry now. She just wanted to eat something and then have a good sleep.

"Qiu Shi, I'm sorry! I got you involved again." Feng Zimo apologized to Huo Qiushi.

Huo Qiushi shook her head and said: "Brother Zimo, I really can't blame you for this. If I insist on saying it, I should be the one to say sorry. After all, I was the first to meet that Sima Hao that day.

.If I hadn’t gotten up that night, there wouldn’t have been so many bad things.”

"Then let's not talk about who is hurting the other from now on."

"good."

Feng Zimo divided the baked soft sesame cake into two halves, handed half to Huo Qiushi, and then looked around: "Where is Tongtong?"

"I guess I went there to play."

As soon as Huo Qiushi finished speaking, Li Zhitong came back with a small pile of dry firewood. She put the dry firewood on the ground, then walked up to Feng Zimo, took out a few copper coins from her pocket and handed them to him.

She poured it out of the earthen jar before the man in black burst into the room at night.

Seeing this scene, both Feng Zimo and Feng Zimo were stunned. Feng Zimo asked: "What are you doing?"

Li Zhitong did not answer Feng Zimo's question, but pursed her lips tightly, as if she was worried about something.

Looking at her expression, Feng Zimo thought for a moment, seemed to understand something, and said, "Are you afraid that I won't want you?"

Li Zhitong nodded gently.

Feng Zimo suddenly felt a little sad. She touched Li Zhitong's head and said: "Little fool, don't worry, I am your brother, and I will never abandon you no matter what."

Huo Qiushi also came over: "Yes, Tongtong, how can a brother not want his sister? And Tongtong is so beautiful and sensible, there is no reason for my brother to not want you."

"Really?" Li Zhitong asked cautiously.

Feng Zimo smiled slightly and said, "Of course."

This was the first time Feng Zimo smiled in front of Li Zhitong.

"Brother, you look so beautiful when you smile!" Li Zhitong blurted out.

"A lot of people say that about brother. Well, take the money back. Brother doesn't want Tongtong's money. Tongtong can keep it for herself to buy delicious food."

"good."

"Are you hungry? Let's eat sesame cakes." Feng Zimo handed half of the sesame cakes in his hand to Li Zhitong.

"Brother Zimo, now that you have the real treasure map and the key to the divine gate, what are you going to do next?" Huo Qiushi asked.

Feng Zimo thought for a while and said: "That Lie Yu's true identity is probably Tuoba Yu, King of the Qin Dynasty and Wei Dynasty. He must have thought that the key and the treasure map are in my hands now. He wants to find out my identity.

Difficult, if the key and treasure map are left in my hands, it will only lead to disaster."

"You mean to throw away both of these things?"

The corners of Feng Zimo's mouth raised slightly: "Of course not, what I just said was just that I didn't go to Shenmen."

"What's the meaning?"

"Qiu Shi, let me ask you, what is the most valuable thing in Shenmen?"

Huo Qiushi thought for a moment and said: "Pass the country's jade seal!"

"That's right."

Although there must be a dazzling array of valuable things in Shenmen, in terms of value, none of them combined can compare to the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. For thousands of years, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo has represented the legitimacy of a country in this land. Based on this alone

, which is unmatched by anything else.

Feng Zimo said: "The reason why Tuoba Yu went to such great lengths to get the treasure map and key is probably because the purpose is to pass on the national jade seal. Just imagine, if I hold the key and the treasure map, and the national jade seal is still there

In the Shenmen, for the sake of the jade seal, Tuoba Yu will definitely snatch the key and treasure map from my hand at any cost. But what if I take out the jade seal and give it to our Majesty, Daliang? Does he have any reason to target me?

To put it another way, even if he is still targeting me, without the imperial seal, what’s the harm in letting him take away the treasures in the Shenmen?”

After hearing this, Huo Qiushi was immediately enlightened and gave Feng Zimo a thumbs up.

Feng Zimo looked at Huo Qiushi and said, "Qiu Shi, are you still willing to accompany me to get the imperial seal?"

Feng Zimo knew that this journey must be very dangerous and his life might be in danger, so he asked Huo Qiushi this way.

"Of course I do. But aren't you afraid that I will have evil thoughts and kill you when the time comes, and then snatch the imperial seal and take the treasures in the Shenmen for myself?"

"I believe you won't."

"You just believe me so much? You don't even know where my home is."

"I know, it's Haiao City."

Huo Qiushi was stunned: "How did you know?"

"Uncle Bai saw that day that the swordsmanship you used belonged to the Huo family of Haiao City. But to me, it doesn't matter which swordsmanship you belong to. It won't have any impact on our relationship."

"What's our relationship?" Huo Qiushi looked at Feng Zimo with bright eyes.

"Okay, eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold. Have a good sleep after eating." Feng Zimo changed the topic quickly and at the same time moved his eyes elsewhere.
