The city is built near the water and is located to the north of the river. If you want to enter the sea, you only need to enter the river and take a boat, heading northeast and heading straight towards the sea.
This place originally belonged to the State of Zhao, and the State of Qin wiped out all the other states. The place was peaceful and orderly early, and all industries naturally began to flourish.
The city is not big, with a radius of only three to five miles. Due to its favorable location, there are many caravans coming and going, including merchants from all over the Xia.
In wine shops, you can often hear accents that are very different from the local ones.
To the east of the city, there are many shops and restaurants on both sides of the main street. The flags are engraved with Da Qin's new standard characters. The rest of the main roads are mostly residential buildings.
Qingyu Restaurant!
Located in an inconspicuous part of Dongcheng, this wine shop has been around for a long time, it has been several years. From the outside, it seems that the business is very good, but the owner seems to have changed.
However, it does not affect others.
Not yet!
The warm sun between heaven and earth is still there, and there are not many people eating in the restaurant. The meal has passed for a while, so the restaurant is not busy.
The rear courtyard of the restaurant occupies a large area, and there are many people coming and going. It doesn't seem strange. The restaurant needs to buy a lot of things.
Wine, vegetables, meat and eggs...
Yes!
There seem to be more people coming in and out these two days.
Due to some dense plants and delicate bamboo groves in the rear courtyard, many sounds are directly blocked, making it impossible to pry into the wine shop in front.
No matter how cool the winter wind blows, it cannot disperse the music.
"Mr. Fan!"
"uncle!"
"It's great to see you again."
"And Xiaoyu and you guys!"
We arrived in the city in the evening yesterday, after traveling thousands of miles, we had a good rest and a good night's rest, and now we gathered together to talk.
In a side room in the courtyard, the grass curtains were hung down, and several stoves were displayed. The warm air spread, and wine was heated on the stoves, and the aroma of fine wine spread.
Inside, people were either sitting or standing.
Looking at Mr. Fan in front of him, at his uncle whom he had not seen for a long time, and at Xiao Yu who was talking to Zi Qi, a young man with a strong appearance sat behind the case, bowed his hands and spoke with endless joy.
"As long as everything is stable."
"It was enough for you to wait until you came back safe and sound yesterday."
Wearing a simple dark blue gown, the old man with white beard and hair nodded slightly, sometimes stroking his long beard. After not seeing each other for many days, Yu'er also grew up a lot.
"Yu'er, as Mr. Fan said, it will be fine if nothing happens."
Sitting next to him, a middle-aged man with a clear appearance and elegant manner also said the same thing.
"My fourth brother also told me some things. Nangong's wishes should be similar to Mr. Fan's wishes."
"The best thing is to wait."
"Secondly, you need to secretly accumulate strength for future use. If you come back half a month early, you may see Long Qie!"
"Long Qie, Ying Bu and the others are traveling around, searching for the old troops. We will arrange for those people, or go to the sea to Jizi North Korea."
"Or hide it."
Continuing with the preface, the man said again.
"There is still no whereabouts of that big long insect."
"After returning from the Western Regions, Yu'er and I crossed the river and passed through Longxi, Guanzhong, Guanwai, Sanchuan County, and Yingchuan County, and then followed the river straight into Hanoi County, Handan County, and Julu County."
"There are even many detours, otherwise we would have returned more than half a month early."
"It's hard to find in the north, you can only find it in the south."
"In recent years, we have sent many people to Huai River and Jiang River, but we have not found anything."
"If there is no Ying Zheng to patrol eastward next time, I plan to take Yu'er south, visit those counties one by one, and deal with some things along the way."
"Now, there is not only the Yingzheng incident, but also the ancient underground palace incident everywhere, disrupting everything."
"Many rangers in the counties are fighting fiercely for the things in the underground palace!"
Xiang Liang, who accompanied Xiang Yu as he ran east and west, sighed deeply.
If there is no gain, that's not necessarily true. At least... Yu'er has also experienced a lot, especially Yu'er's current strength is very strong.
If Yu'er has that kind of strength, he will be able to walk much more safely in the summer.
Unfortunately, the power of the hidden dragon that Nan Gong used to sacrifice to Haotian was still not found. Yu'er only had half of it, and the other half was in the big long insect.
Big white worm!
The trace is hard to find!
"Uncle, why are you so entangled in such things?"
"After returning all the way, I feel that if I focus on those underground palaces, the gains will be greater, that is... the treasures of heaven and earth, the map of the God of War, and the tokens are waiting for me to help ordinary people."
The heroic young man took something out of his arms, a blood-colored jade pendant, and walked eastward, but the jade pendant showed no reaction.
Indicates that the big long insect is not within range.
If his uncle hadn't forced him to do so, he wouldn't have cared about those things.
And with his own strength, the underground palace he planned was not bad. I remember that when I was in Hanoi County, I was once close to the battle area for the treasures of heaven, materials and earth.
The uncle took him and left forcefully.
"Haha, sooner or later uncle will find that thing."
"In the Ancient Underground Palace, we don't need to get involved. You also said that it won't be of much help to us. Mr. Fan also warned about this just now."
Xiang Liang laughed and did not want to dwell on that topic.
"The mystery of Yin and Yang is the best if you get it!"
"If you don't get it, you should be prepared for other things."
"The matter in the underground palace involves too many forces. Right now, we have more important things."
"Yu'er, you should go to Jizi North Korea next. Many people have passed there and there is a place there."
"A city is being built!"
"In the world of Qin, there is no chance now. We can only wait. We need to make long-term plans."
Fan Zeng nodded slightly.
The power of the Hidden Dragon that Nangong gained from the sacrifice to Haotian should be put to some use, otherwise, given Nangong's character, he would not value it so much.
Got it, icing on the cake.
If you don't get it, it won't affect anything.
Now that Yu'er has returned, it's time for them to leave here. Dongwu City... has been here for a long time. As time goes by, things could easily happen.
The matter of the underground palace is useless!
To them, it's worthless.
"Heading to Jizi Korea?"
"Mr. Fan, I still hope to keep Zhu Xia, hoping to personally gather the power of the Xiang clan and regain the power of the Chu Kingdom."
Xiang Yu shook his head very much.
"Jizi North Korea needs you to take a look for yourself. Good opportunities are hard to find. Maybe we will wait for five years or ten years. Yu'er, you need to learn other things."
"Besides, this time... you will go to Jizi North Korea in person. There are important things waiting for you."
"The governor of the Qin State in Yandi is Ye Teng. He is a person who cannot be underestimated. He is planning to send troops out of Liaodong to attack the bitter and cold places outside the Great Wall, hoping to include those places in the map of the Qin State."
"As expected, Ye Teng succeeded. Then there should be no barriers outside the Great Wall in Jizi North Korea. If Qin wants to invade Jizi North Korea, it should be easily accessible."
"There's a lot you can do when you go there."
"Especially, Ye Teng has set up a navy in Jin County, south of Liaodong. There are nine courtyards in the Qin Kingdom's National Protectorate Academy, and I heard that there are one or two more courtyards."
"The Naval Academy is one of them."
"With the establishment of naval forces, Qin will be powerful in the sea area. In the land of Liaodong, Ye Teng has more troops to mobilize. If it were not for the containment and threat of the Huns from the Northern Hu, Ye Teng would have left the fortress long ago."
Fan Zeng took a sheepskin map from his side and slowly unfolded it on the table in front of him. As he spoke, he pointed at a certain location.
Along the way, click to multiple locations.
"Mr. Fan's intention is not to make Ye Teng's work in Liaodong as smooth as possible?"
Map!
It is a general map of Yandi, beyond the Great Wall, Jizi Korea and other places. The detailed counties and counties cannot be seen, but the general mountains, rivers and rivers are included.
After hearing Mr. Fan's words, Xiang Yu already understood his meaning clearly. He looked at some areas on the map that Mr. Fan had highlighted and couldn't help but raise his thick eyebrows.
"Indeed."
"It's not just our intention, it's also the intention of other forces."
"The Qin State rules over the Xia. The land of the Three Jin Dynasties is not safe, and Qi and Lu are even more unsafe next."
"The same goes for Huaishui, Jiangshui, and Jiangnan. Many people choose Jizi North Korea, and some choose to go to some islands outside the East China Sea."
"Qin is too powerful and needs to be avoided."
"And for a country as big as Qin, it is impossible to maintain its unrivaled position. There will always be good opportunities."
"Ye Teng's troubles in Yandi are not a good thing."
Jizi North Korea is now a quiet and stable place.
There are few people there and the land is vast, and can accommodate many, many people. If Ye Teng continues to toss, Jizi North Korea will be in danger.
Fan Zeng clicked on the Liaodong area on the sheepskin map, and Ye Teng made a big move here.
Yu'er needs to go, needs to go and experience.
He needs to shore up his reputation.
"Uncle, I heard that some people are going to the Huns in Beihu?"
Xiang Yu's bright, shining eyes fell into deep thought.
After a while, he looked at his uncle Xiang Rong. Ever since his father was gone, this uncle had been the eldest son, but... due to his temperament, he mostly dealt with logistical matters.
"Indeed there is."
"Qin is too domineering and too strong."
"If you want to restore the country and its people, all the enemies of Qin can be used. The Xiongnu of Northern Hu are now extremely powerful, with hundreds of thousands of people controlling them, so that Qin's general Meng Tian does not dare to act rashly."
"The power of the Huns is available."
"Someone went to the Xiongnu and gave advice and suggestions in order to disrupt the Qin State, so that the Xiongnu could defeat the Qin State in the future. Even if the Xiongnu could not defeat the Qin State, it would be enough to contain many of Qin's forces."
"Perhaps a good opportunity will come."
"Even in the Western Regions, there are some people going there. However, the Qin State has already made plans. Guigu Genie is connected with all the countries in the Western Regions, so it is difficult to intervene for the time being."
"If this is not the case, we can also unite the power of the Western Regions. In the future, the Western Regions will be powerful, and the Xiongnu will be powerful enough to directly threaten the foundation of Qin."
"That's also an opportunity!"
Xiang Rong did not hide that.
At present, all the forces that oppose Qin are trying their best to use all available forces. Otherwise, they will not be enough to compete with Qin.
Mr. Fan asked Yu'er to go to Jizi North Korea for this reason.
I hope that I can block Ye Teng's power in Liaodong and prevent him from going further.
"..."
"The Xia inside and the barbarians outside are... I think this is inappropriate."
Xiang Yu pondered again, and after a few breaths, he sighed.
"Yu'er, those who do great things don't stick to trivial matters."
"The power of the Northern Hu Xiongnu is available, so use it!"
"When things are done, just drive it back to the grassland."
Xiang Liang responded with a smile.
Yu'er's temperament still hasn't changed. Sometimes, you need to assess the situation and weigh the pros and cons. Use what you can!
It’s worth it!
"Ye Teng."
"Ji Zi Korea."
"..., Mr. Fan, uncle, I will go."
"However, before that, I need to go to Jiangnan."
I understand many of the truths my uncle and Mr. Fan said. Because I understand them all, I know better what to do and what not to do in everything!
I don't like those people from the Northern Hu and Xiongnu.
At that time, Duke Huan of Qi united with the nine princes to control the world, including the Xia within and the barbarians outside. In this way, he dominated the Spring and Autumn Period.
All the princes worshiped him.
Now, for the sake of the power of Qin, mingling with the people of Yi and Di will damage the face and prestige of the Xiang family. Since someone has done it, it’s okay not to do it yourself.
Things can be done outside the Great Wall of Liaodong!
Jizi North Korea is indeed an important place, and Qin's military peak cannot cross Liaodong.
"Yu'er, are you going to Lu Feng, Nanhai County to meet Mr. Tianming?"
Fan Zeng is happy.
"He is one of the few friends I have among all the summers. I want to meet him."
"I remember that the first time Tianming and I met was in Great Father's army. At that time... even though I had considerable strength and Tianming's cultivation was not weak, I was no match for him."
"Now...I wonder how he is doing?"
"I wonder what his strength is now?"
"He should be no match for me. As Nangong said, my strength is hard to match even in the realm of warriors transforming into gods, and even in the realm of otherworldly realms, I can compete with it."
Xiang Yu stood up leisurely, wearing a light brown-yellow gown, a horn belt, and his hair in a bun. He was square and broad, his eyebrows were lively, and he was high-spirited.
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and shook it gently. The void trembled, and his eyes as bright as stars suddenly became filled with mysterious light. Visions rose and fell, and disappeared in a flash.
"It's okay to meet him once. It's not difficult."
"There are many merchant ships coming and going from Lufeng."
Xiang Liang did not refuse. Young Master Tianming was also very kind to them, and he also had a close relationship with Yu'er. He himself had experienced the situation back then.
At that time, Tianming Shaoxia was still very young, and Yu'er was not very old either.
After many years, everyone has achieved something.
******
"Ten drops of blood!"
"Water Lord... you are too picky. Now that you have reached the second level of inner alchemy, you only took out ten drops of blood essence. It's too little."
Jiangnan.
Nanchang.
Governor's Palace.
In the spacious and elegant side hall, the sounds of warblers and swallows can't stop flowing, sometimes mixed with the sounds of silk and bamboo orchestral music, sometimes mixed with the sound of children crying, sometimes mixed with the sound of loud laughter.
Yan Lingji reached out and played with ten dark blue balls of light in front of her. Each one was the size of a chicken, and its surface was covered with restrictions.
Throwing these ten things lightly, his charming flame eyes looked at the water master who was lying leisurely in a corner of the hall drinking.
Too stingy too.
With the help of the power of the elixir, in just over half a month, Shui Zun achieved a breakthrough. He stepped into the inner alchemy level one and entered the inner alchemy level two, and his aura was obviously much more powerful.
Even the increasingly proud Niu Niu became stronger.
It makes me want to take Po Zhen Dan right now, the effect is really good, I can't say enough.
These ten dense balls of light are the essence and blood of the Water Lord. The essence and blood after it breaks into the inner elixir for the second time is really powerful, and the original power inside is really powerful.
"..."
The Water Lord drooped his big ears and ignored a certain human woman.
It's true that my back hurts when I stand and talk, that's ten drops of blood!
He had just broken through to the second level of inner alchemy, and had taken out ten drops of essence and blood. His origin had been damaged a lot, and he had just swallowed the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that Kunlun was searching for.
Those are ten drops of essence and blood from my current state, it is not an ordinary thing.
Breakthrough.
Finally a breakthrough.
The inner elixir entered its first and second revolutions. The true-breaking elixir refined by Xuan Qingzi was too strong, and its medicinal properties were too strong. He finally made a breakthrough.
With his current level of strength, he is also one of the best in the clan.
Even on the top of Kunlun, he is not considered weak.
The natural treasures in the body are being rapidly refined to make up for the gap in the original essence and blood. I have nothing to do, so I naturally want to drink some wine and eat some delicious food.
As for someone's noise, ignore it.
Xuan Qingzi didn't say anything.
"I thought you had to come up with a hundred drops. Eighty drops of essence and blood are too little."
"Ten drops of water unicorn's essence and blood, Xue'er, what you have cultivated is vaguely connected to the water lord. Can you absorb and refine the power in it?"
