Lying in Zhou Sheng's arms, Liuli slowly opened her eyes.
With a wave of her hand, the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows opened, allowing warm sunlight to shine directly in.
She turned to look at Zhou Sheng, who was still sleeping soundly, lifted him up with the Yin Yang Pearl, and then changed all the sheets and quilt covers into one set.
"Everything is wet, thank you for going to bed early." Liuli muttered, lay down and continued to sleep.
Zhou Sheng spent too much energy in the Heavenly Palace and was already very tired.
When I came back, I had to help Liuli suppress the fire in her body, and another night passed.
After he was done, he fell asleep tiredly and didn't care about anything else.
During this sleep, I slept until about three o'clock in the afternoon, and then slowly woke up.
When she woke up, Liuli was already sitting on the bed, leaning against the pillow in a daze.
Zhou Sheng stretched out his arms around Liuli and asked, "Would you like something to eat?"
"Not hungry." Liuli shook her head and lay down, her head resting on Zhou Sheng's arm.
"Why do we have to wait three days before setting off?" Liuli asked curiously.
Zhou Sheng looked down at Liuli's delicate face and said with a smile: "I'll let you vent your anger in these three days."
"Well...it's not necessary."
"Really, no?"
"don't want……"
"don't want?"
"want!"
…
8pm.
After the two got up, Zhou Sheng directly exchanged some points for a meal of hot pot and cold beer.
The two of them sat at the dining table and chatted while eating.
"I have been to the ancient country in the Western Regions once. It was quite desolate. I need to prepare enough food when I go there."
"Moreover, the ancient country of the Western Regions is not within Kyushu. The dragon veins and bronze tripod seem to have been sent by a certain king of the Western Zhou Dynasty." Liuli explained briefly.
"Sending dragon veins? Are you sick in your head?" Zhou Sheng couldn't help but said.
"Lin felt the same way before, but after seeing that the Western Regions have become our country's plate, Lin suddenly understood. The king of the Western Zhou Dynasty sent the dragon veins out, and strengthened the exchanges between the two countries, and gradually included the ancient Western Regions into our Chinese plate. It was only at this time that
It took two thousand years." Liuli explained.
After hearing this, Zhou Sheng seemed to understand.
The purpose of sending you the Dragon Vein is to use the power of the Dragon Vein to incorporate your Western Region into my Chinese territory.
"The kings of the Western Zhou Dynasty were very calculating." Zhou Sheng murmured.
In ancient China, there was actually only the Central Plains.
Later, it was gradually expanded, and during the expansion, Dragon Veins also played a very important role.
"When the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty gave the dragon vein to Xiye, the largest country in the ancient Western Regions, Xiye disappeared not long after."
"In fact, the ancient Xiye Kingdom uses the power of one country to guard the Dragon Vein, leaving only a small part to continue to maintain the existence of the Ancient Xiye Kingdom." Luo Li explained.
The ancient kingdom of the Western Regions first established diplomatic relations with the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the heroes were divided and the Western Regions became the Outer Regions. The Qiang people have been independent for many years.
Later, the First Emperor unified the world and recovered part of the Western Region.
It is a pity that future generations did not work hard and just recovered part of it. The Eastern Han Dynasty rose and the Western Regions separated and turned into the Thirty-six Kingdoms.
The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty established the Protectorate of the Western Regions to manage thirty-six countries.
There are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, varying in size. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Xiye Ancient Kingdom was the largest ancient country in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and its national power was quite powerful.
But later on, the Xiye Ancient Kingdom became very small, ranking in the middle or lower among the thirty-six ancient kingdoms.
What he and Liuli were going to this time were the ruins of the Xiye Ancient Kingdom.
"Is it worth using the power of a country to guard Dragon Vein?" Zhou Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Lin told me that the ancient Xiye Kingdom believed that as long as they had dragon veins, they would be qualified to compete in the Central Plains. They gambled with the power of a country. If the bet was right, they would enter the Central Plains. If the bet was wrong, they would still leave some people behind. Continue
Strengthen Xiye." Liuli explained.
Apparently they made a wrong bet.
A dragon vein will only allow the ancient countries of the Western Regions to integrate into China, but will not give them a chance to rise.
"I'm curious, which king of the Western Zhou Dynasty did it?" Zhou Sheng looked at Liuli and asked.
"It seems...King Zhou Zhao, Ji Xia."
“King Mu’s father?”
"Yeah." Liuli nodded.
Zhou Sheng understood immediately.
They, father and son, can be said to be playing around with ancient China.
After chatting, we were almost done eating the hot pot.
The two of them sat on the rooftop and looked at the stars in the sky.
"Should I call Captain Mojin and the others?" Zhou Sheng hesitated.
Captain Mo Jin and the others have been to the ancient city of Jingjue, one of the thirty-six ancient kingdoms in the Western Regions. They have been to all of Jingjue, so it must not be difficult to go to Xiye.
With them here, they might be able to help a little bit.
"Let them forget it. They won't be of much help if they go there. It's better for us to go ourselves." Liuli said.
It's not that she dislikes him, but she just touched Colonel Jin, and it's really not of much use.
"Although the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom became a hegemon for a period of time at that time, it only lasted less than a hundred years." Liuli continued.
The Jingjue Ancient Kingdom is a short-lived one, unlike Xiye, which has a long history and is an absolute overlord.
If it hadn't been for King Zhou Zhao's plot with a dragon vein, Jingjue Ancient Country would have had no chance of getting ahead.
"Okay." Zhou Sheng also gave up and reached out to take Liuli into his arms.
"Have you rested yet?"
"You don't want to be here, do you? This is the rooftop!"
"Why not?"
"Well..."
In the next few days, Zhou Sheng and Liuli rested everywhere in the manor.
Swimming pool, yard, kitchen living room, etc.
Wait three days.
After Zhou Sheng recuperated his energy, he called Zhang Xinshan.
"Let's go to the ancient country of the Western Regions. See you in the Western Night!"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Sheng put down the phone and rode towards the Western Regions with Liuli.
…
Eight doors, in the hall.
Zhang Xinshan took off his headphones and thought about everyone.
Those who come here are all the eight sect masters.
Zhang Xinshan from the Zhang family, Hong Erye from the second family, Tieguai Li from the third family, Wu Dabai from the Wu family, Black-backed Liu from the sixth family, Mrs. Huo from the seventh family, eighth master Qi from the eighth family, and Xie Jiuye from the ninth family.
Overall, the number of people did not change much from the last time we went to Tiangong, except that Mrs. Huo of the Huo family came in person, and Tieguai Li of the three families went in person.
Each person brought eight subordinates.
Zhang Xinshan looked at the crowd, and when he saw that one of the eight people behind Lord Jiu was a woman, he couldn't help but look slightly sideways.
Among the eight families, the only one with women is the Huo family.
Will Jie Jia actually take a girl with him?
Although Zhang Xinshan had doubts in his heart, he didn't think much about it and said directly: "This time I go to the ancient country in the Western Regions and I will escape death."
"Have you prepared your suicide note and the next head of the family?"
As soon as these words came out, the other seven family heads said one after another: "Ready."
"My Jie family died, and from now on the eight gates became seven." Mr. Jie Jiu said.
He became the head of the family at the age of five, and is now only twenty-two and still in college.
If he is damaged in the ancient tomb, then his family can be disbanded.
Zhang Xinshan didn't say much after hearing this, because there would definitely be one less class by then.
