I recommend a new book written by my friend, "The Leisure Life of Becoming a Cat Demon" which is absolutely good and highly recommended.

Since Xue Hongling had such thoughts, Zhang Luochen was of course happy that there were people around him, so he said to Xue Hongling without saying a stern voice, "From now on, everything needs to be listened to my orders. Today, I will never do anything like this."

Xue Hongling looked up in surprise and kowtowed, "Thank you for the national master, Hongling will only follow the national master's leader in the future and will never dare to disobey his orders."

"Otherwise, you have to suffer as hard as you are today." Qin Zi'ang saw that Zhang Luochen had said everything he should have said, but he was joking, and the originally serious atmosphere immediately resolved it.

The few people rested in the store that night and set off on the road as usual the next day. Without the harm of the shopkeeper and the waiter, I thought that it would be abandoned after coming here.

Xue Hongling had the experience of a black shop and seemed to have matured a lot. Because the woman was meticulous, she took good care of Zhang Luochen and others along the way. Especially when she negotiated with the government along the way, she changed her customs certificates and was able to deal with them easily, which eliminated Zhang Luochen's many troubles.

Lizhou Prefecture was originally the border area of ​​the Southern Zhou Kingdom. Within two days, the group of four finally left the border of the Southern Zhou Kingdom and entered the territory of the Southern Chen Kingdom.

Although the Southern Chen Kingdom and the Southern Zhou Kingdom are only separated by a boundary monument, they are like two worlds. Looking around, there is a depression, and the farmland is covered with weeds, and you can only vaguely see the past crisscrossing fields.

"Why are the good farmlands deserted?" Zhang Luochen said strangely.

"Brother Zhang doesn't know that since the previous king of the Southern Chen Kingdom went, the sons have started a dispute over the throne. The Southern Chen King passed the throne to the eldest son and enfeoffed the other sons everywhere. He wanted brothers to work together and help each other, but the people were not in a good mood. Several vassal kings each took control of one side. Some were willing to obey the king's orders in name, while others simply ruled and established themselves as kings.

The new King Chen has been fighting for five years, and the Southern Chen Kingdom is empty, so there are naturally no people in this farmland." Qin Zi'ang is a native of this world, and he is very clear about the situation in various countries.

Zhang Luochen nodded, and suddenly heard Xue Hongling pointing ahead and shouting: "It seems that someone is in front."

Following Xue Hongling's finger, everyone saw a building hidden among the green trees and weeds. They rushed forward, but found that the building had been unused for a long time. Many poorly built dirt houses had already collapsed. There were only a few stone houses that looked quite spacious, standing alone, with vines crawling on the walls. Looking in through the black window, it felt a bit gloomy.

So the few people didn't stop and continued to move forward, but along the way, they were really empty and there were almost no people. When they met a small town, the gates were closed and they looked alert.

Anyway, the few of them brought enough food, so they simply didn't go to the city and just walked around. After spending around for about four days in the morning, they finally saw a decent city in front of them.

Zhang Luochen came to the city gate and immediately looked at it. He saw that the brick carvings of "Jiangdu" on the city gate were particularly eye-catching, and the color was newer than the surrounding city walls. They should have been carved recently.

Qin Zi'ang looked at the two words and laughed: "Brother Zhang doesn't know that this city was formerly called "Yingcheng", which was the fief of Xijiang Duke of Southern Chen. Xijiang Duke Chen Luo is the third son of King Chen. Because he was unwilling to be with others, he called himself King Xijiang and wanted to compete for the throne with the new king.

Since he was called Wang, he naturally had to have a royal capital to be justified. He changed Yingcheng to Jiangdu, which basically demonstrated his goal of fighting for the king."

Zhang Luochen understood as soon as he heard this. In order to be justified, the King of Xijiang directly sealed off his city, which was to be determined to compete for the throne.

However, Jiangdu said that this place is indeed much more prosperous than the places where a few people passed by before. The city gates are open, and although there are not many pedestrians coming and going, they are also a little more fireworks.

However, the city gate was full of heavy troops inside and outside, and it looked like a panic as if the battle was about to happen. Looking at the people in the city, they all had pale faces and numb expressions, which looked sad.

The Jiangdu city is very large, especially since it occupies a major traffic road, it is a bit troublesome to get around it. Besides, the few people have been sleeping outside for a while, so they should find a place to rest and take a shower to adjust their condition. Therefore, Zhang Luochen took the lead and walked into the city.

"Stay stay here, I don't know who they are, where they come from and where they are? What are you doing? Please report it quickly." Before we arrived at the city gate, a city gate official sitting on the side shouted to the people, and immediately a soldier holding a gun was blocking the horse.

No wonder the soldiers at this city gate were nervous. It was really a bit strange in the shape of Zhang Luochen and the other four.

Especially Zhang Luochen and Yang Bai were dressed in white, and looked extraordinary, while the other was hideous and fierce in shape, which looked really eye-catching.

"We are just pedestrians passing by. We come from the South Zhou Kingdom and want to go south to do something, and we will stay in the city temporarily tonight."

The Southern Zhou Kingdom and the Southern Chen Kingdom fought a war more than ten years ago. It is logically considered to be hostile countries. However, these days, there are wars everywhere in Jiuzhou. If you fight me today and I fight him tomorrow, I can’t tell who is with whom.

After more than ten years of peace, it is no longer tense.

"Come from the Southern Zhou Kingdom?" The little official guarding the gate looked at the few people suspiciously. A soldier next to him suddenly came up and muttered a few words in the little official's ear.

The little official's expression suddenly changed, "Can you be the Immortal Master Wuchen mentioned in the book? The National Master of the Southern Zhou Kingdom?"

Zhang Luochen felt helpless. The Southern Zhou Kingdom and the Southern Chen Kingdom had been peaceful for a long time, so it was nothing to show their conduct. However, Zhang Luochen always acted in a low-key manner and did not want to reveal his identity. He just wanted to cross the border quietly. Who knew that he was recognized.

This novel by Qin Zi'ang seems to be quite popular, and it has spread here so quickly.

He nodded helplessly, "Yes, I am Wuchenzi, but what's the problem?"

The little official immediately showed a slightly hypocritical smile and bowed to Zhang Luochen: "I heard that the national teacher of the Southern Zhou Kingdom is resolute. When I see you today, I have the honor of three lives and the honor of three lives. Even my king has heard of the name of the immortal master. Do I need me to pass on the imperial master to my king?"

Zhang Luochen thought to myself that I don’t have that leisure time. He is not in the mood to participate in political struggles and fight on the battlefield or something. Let’s wait until the main line is almost done.

He shook his head and said, "No need to bother. We are just passing by here, without disturbing others. Please do it for a convenience."

"That's nature, that's nature." The city gate official waved his hand and waved to the officers and soldiers who were blocking on both sides: "Let's go!"

But when such a big man came, he, a small city gate official, dared to conceal the news. He quickly told someone to report the news. After thinking about it, he called the person back and asked them to guard the person on their own and put their clothes and hats to report the news to the city.

Zhang Luochen and his party didn't know what he was thinking, so they entered the city and found a pretty good inn and stayed in.

In the chaotic times, the inn was deserted, and even the door panels were not opened. Suddenly, four people and four horsemen came to stay in the hotel. The owner was so happy that he hurriedly welcomed him.

The four of them took a hot bath in the room and went downstairs to eat easily. Although there were various delicacies cooked by Zhang Luochen in their backpack, they were fucked by eating too much. They hadn't eaten hot soup and water for a long time.

Several people were having a lively meal, and suddenly they heard a noise in front of the store. Then two people wearing black armor and long swords on their waists pushed open the store and entered the store, shouting: "Where is the National Master of the Southern Zhou Kingdom?"

Zhang Luochen sighed in his heart and looked at Qin Zi'ang meaningfully. Qin Zi'ang shrugged meaningfully, saying that it has anything to do with me, I am just a book writer.

There was no need for four people to answer, and the shop owner had already met him, nodded and asked, "This general, don't know who to look for? Don't bother the shop's customers."

"Go aside." The man pushed the shop owner away. The shop owner was pushed back a few steps and sat down to the ground, but he did not dare to complain, so he rolled away.

"Irregular! Master Wuchen is here, who dares to act rashly!" Xue Hongling saw the two of them behaved in anger, slapped the table and stood up, shouting loudly.

But the warrior seemed to be completely fearless. He walked over two steps, straightened his waist and bowed casually and said, "I have invited you, and I am the commander of the imperial guards. After being ordered by the king, I will come and invite Master Wuchen to enter the palace to talk."
