Jiang Fan wanted to have a deep talk with her several times, but in the end he didn't speak. Many people are like this. They often cannot listen to other people's words and can only hit the wall by themselves. Only when they hurt themselves can they wake up.
A few days later, Xu Fu told Jiang Fan something——
Lin Zhaoji's aura was very unstable, rising and falling with great fluctuations.
Jiang Fan originally thought that something might happen to her because she was troubled by her inner demons, so he couldn't help but want to take a look, but Xu Fu stopped her.
He told Jiang Fan that Lin Zhaoji had wisdom roots. This unusual aura showed that she was extremely entangled in her heart, but as long as she could break through this confusion, she might be able to break through. But if you can't break through, you may really fall into a demonic barrier. Unfortunately, no one can help with this kind of thing, let alone interfere rashly, because this is not a martial arts practice, but a road to refining the mind and clarifying one's nature.
Jiang Fan had no choice but to calm down after hearing this. After all, in his opinion, he is an idiot with a tangled personality and unclear thoughts. He can't talk about helping others to understand their true feelings.
——
Going to Xia Country is undoubtedly a difficult road to take. First, Jiang Fan had to find a way to cross the border.
During the current war, the national borders were heavily defended. However, due to the Jing'an Borrowing Incident, the distribution of power among the three kingdoms of Jin, Chu, and Xia in Ningzhou was a bit chaotic. Jiang Fan still found an opportunity to quietly sneak into the Xia border.
Just to pass the customs and not to attract attention, he abandoned all three carriages.
Now, eight of them are on their way on foot. Three old men dressed like farmers were leading the way, followed by Mr. Jiang and three men disguised as men. Of course, the handsome old men were also in this group. Lu Hanting is at the back and often can't see anyone.
Walking is what Mr. Jiang hates doing the most.
So much so that even though he had the best physical strength, he complained the most and was gibbering all the way.
On the contrary, the three old men, Fisherman, Kuangshi and Xu Fu, had nothing to do. They were walking and chatting, very relaxed.
The seven of them wandered slowly or simply rested when there were people around during the day, and then jumped into high gear at night when no one was around. Although Nie Xiaoli and Lin Zhaoji are not as good at cultivation, they are still at the master level and can travel five hundred miles at night without any problems.
Their target was the capital of Xia Kingdom, Yandu.
Originally, the straight-line distance was only about three thousand miles. Unfortunately, they had to go south through Ningzhou first, then west into Xia Kingdom, and then turn northwest. This roughly "V" route was at least five thousand miles away. above.
In other words, if we rush to Yandu, there will only be ten days left before the Taihua Festival, which is too stressful.
In the end, Jiang Fan didn't care about complaining anymore. In order to speed up the journey, they moved forward at full speed as long as there were few people. A support policy was even formulated for the two rookies.
Without any explanation, Jiang Fan hugged Nie Xiaoli and ran wildly, making Miss Nie's face turn as red as a cherry every day. Lu Hanting had no choice but to get a simple bamboo chair to carry Lin Zhaoji on his back.
The old handsome guy was originally very excited and left Meng Chanjuan to himself, but as a result, he didn't need to take care of her at all. Under Xu Fu's care, her minor injuries were fine. Mengchanjuan's movement was not only elegant and beautiful, but also very fast, like a flowing cloud. The speed is definitely faster than Mr. Jiang who relies solely on his physical body to run like a wolf.
Therefore, Mr. Jiang is the slowest at the moment. But he had traveled long distances to Taihua before, so it was not a big problem for him to travel thousands of miles every day.
In this way, they could arrive near Yandu in just five days. There are still seventeen days left before the Taihua event.
That day, when passing through a city, they rested in a restaurant.
Mr. Jiang, who was too physically strong, was eating and drinking, and was attracted by the gossip of the people next to him.
There were three men sitting at the table next to him, a scribe, an aristocratic old man, and a strong man with a sword.
Although their voices were small, Mr. Jiang not only had a wolf's nose, he also had very good ears.
At this moment, the scribe was talking to the old man.
"Mr. Liu, have you ever heard that Taiyue issued another edict of admonition?"
The noble old man stroked his beard and nodded: "I just heard that, so I invited sir to come and talk about it."
The scribe said: "In the past three months since the war started, Taiyue has not done anything except the initial informal document. Until today, it has only issued another edict of admonition. It seems that the situation in Jin is not optimistic."
The old man said: "Yes, I thought that the Holy Land would definitely issue a legal decree to force both sides to stop fighting. I never thought that it would be another exhortation document. What effect would this..."
The strong man said in a dull voice: "It won't have any effect at all. If that minister had listened to his advice, he would have stopped the war and negotiated peace two and a half months ago."
The scribe said: "Yes, from my perspective, this probably means that the Holy Land has not yet made a clear attitude towards this matter."
The strong man said: "The Duke Baishi of the Jin State has been active in Taiyue for a long time, but it has not played any role. The Jin State is also weak and can be bullied. If I had known this, I, the Xia State, should not have made an alliance with them back then."
The old man shook his head and said: "You can't say that. The Holy Land has issued edicts at least twice, and the war between Xia and Wei has been going on for so long, but the Holy Land has not spoken out. It was not until half a year ago that it ordered peace talks between the two sides, but there was no substance. sexual progress, the two sides are still cautiously confronting each other.”
The scribe shook his head: "That was the beginning, but now I, Daxia, am not sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers? The question I am considering is who is blocking Taiyue's determination to stop the war."
The old man pondered: "The State of Jin has been looking for Taiyue to come forward, and the Prime Minister of Chu is of course stalling for time. This is not surprising, but the State of Jin has always respected Taiyue the most, and it is really strange that it has not received effective help for so long. Do we have to wait until the Jin Kingdom is broken through the Longjiang Moat and the fate of the state is at stake before we can make a decision?"
The scribe said: "There must be some truth in it, but we are at a low level and cannot see it. However, this warning from the Holy Land shows at least one thing. The wind is beginning to turn towards the Jin Kingdom. I heard that Old Master Wenqiu Yan spoke out again. If As this unjust war continues to be unresolved, he will go to Taiyue to see the Five Elders."
"Oh?" The old man was surprised: "This is a big deal. The Master is a great scholar in the world, a literary sage in the world, and a figure who is the focus of scholars from the five countries. He wants to go to Taiyue. Even the five respected elders have to give face to this matter. Things may come to an end soon.”
"Whether it will end up doing our shit!" The strong man didn't care: "Let them beat us, we Daxia fishermen will benefit a lot."
The scribe shook his head: "Brother, what you said is wrong. War is not a good thing. Apart from anything else, Liu Gong's huge industry relies on contacts with the Jin State. In the past three months, he has suffered heavy losses."
The old man sighed: "Not only that, I almost went to jail for this matter."
The strong man was shocked: "Is this happening? Why?"
