At night, a long star line has faintly appeared on the horizon, with silvery galaxies hanging behind it, which is gorgeous and strange.
Wu Gen sat on the top of the mountain and stared at the legendary Peng Xing without saying a word for a long time.
There is only one day left before departure, and by the time we are walking through the day, we have already come to the end. This trip went to Dayizhou and was sent to Mingshan by Zhao Guotong. A team was led by Wu Gen and included Shui Congyue, Baoxiang, Qihe, Qiaoban and Feng'er, as well as a holly bird that had just grown its feathers.
The other team was led by Rong Xi. Originally, Zhao Ling wanted to form a team on his own, but was flatly rejected by the court. After all, he was still a member of the royal family. If he died in Dayizhou or other changes occurred, the royal family would inevitably be affected. Ugly.
Zhaoxuansi provided enough supplies for the people in the team, almost taking whatever they asked for. There are all kinds of elixirs, weapons, robes, armor, etc., as well as a lot of food. After all, entering the Dayi Continent, there are no supplies at all. If you can't find anything to eat and starve to death after entering, it will be really ridiculous.
Although a few people hid in the valley all day without showing up, there is no airtight wall in the world. Hu Jia, Zhang Rong, Ruyu, Mu Yun and others came to visit the valley one after another. Although everyone was laughing and deliberately avoiding the idea of traveling far away, the regret under their brows was still hard to hide.
Ruyu once clamored to go together, but was politely dissuaded by Wu Gen. When going to Dayizhou, the more people there, the better. Moreover, the biggest benefit of this trip is that it can be promoted to a noble person. Baoxiang and others certainly need it, but for Ruyu, Hu Jia and others, it is just a promotion in rank, without much help.
However, Hu Jia brought news that Su Jianyue had joined Rong Xi's team, which surprised Wu Gen a little. In fact, Jian Xing once told him that the last time Rong Xi murdered him, people from the Su family were actually involved. Who asked Wu Gen to whip his daughter? How could he not avenge such a shame and humiliation?
After the incident, Rong Xi and Zhao Ling escaped heavy punishment because of their strong backgrounds, but Su Jianyu was different. His family was just an ordinary nobleman, so the punishment was naturally very severe. He was banned from being a nobleman, which also meant that the entire family was downgraded.
Although there are other people in the family who are supporting the family, it is conceivable that at least one member of the family will become a middle-aged man in the future. This kind of impact will be far-reaching, and the entire family will suffer a big loss. Therefore, in order to show repentance, the Su family simply sent Su Jianyu away. It would be fine for him to come back alive and wash away the shame in his family. It doesn't matter if you die outside. Who asked you to cause such a big loss to your family?
Unexpectedly, the noble family was so cruel that they would throw away their own children at will, which made people sigh.
When it was time to set off, Luo Bing led Wu Gen and his team to the place where they tested the shuttle before the last Operation Broken Wood. When they arrived, Jian Xing, along with people from the Taiwei's Mansion, Shaofu Mansion and other officials, were already waiting here. There were also two white-faced and beardless eunuchs standing among them. These two people should represent the attitude of the palace.
In the square in front of the cave, two larger shuttles were parked, both of which were manned by people from the Zhaoxuan Division.
To the outside world, this trip is a private act and does not involve the imperial court, so there is no purpose.
Rong Xi also stood aside quietly with his own people. Including him, there were nine people in total, including Su Jianyu. There was another person standing behind the team, which made Wu Gen stunned. The red hair was really eye-catching, it was Xueyong.
Wu Gen couldn't help but be speechless, well, each of the two teams included a remnant of the original Tiandao Sect. I don’t know how this Xueyong got the news and how he joined Rong Xi’s team.
Seeing that both teams had arrived, he walked in front of everyone and said, "Everyone, this trip to the Great Relic Continent is related to the rise and fall of the Zhao Kingdom and the survival of the human race. I hope that you will have righteousness in your heart, move forward bravely, and live up to the humiliation. Mission. The road ahead is difficult, but we still need to support each other, help each other, and work together for the great cause. Stop talking and start the sacrifice." Jian Xing said loudly.
Suddenly, golden drums and drums sounded in the arena, and twelve strong men arrived carrying the three sacrificial animals. Two more groups of soldiers with bright helmets and swords in their hands lined up and stood in two rows along the sacrificial table, forming a passage.
Jian Xing led Wu Gen and other people who were traveling to Dayizhou, and in a forest of Jia Cong soldiers, they arrived at the altar table where the three animals were placed.
Each person holds three sticks of incense. After praying to heaven, they burn incense and worship. Wait until everyone gets up
, someone has long cut the three animals used for sacrifice into small pieces with a knife and sent them to every traveler to eat.
Jian Xing held a porcelain bowl filled with blood, walked to the two shuttles, dipped his finger in blood, and flicked it onto the shuttles.
"Everyone, the journey is still far, so I will keep things simple and drink the Zhuangxing wine from the cup. I will congratulate you all when I return one day." Jian Xing took the lead in picking up the wine bowl from beside him and drank it all with everyone. .
"Get on the shuttle and set off." Following Jian Xing's command, Wu Gen boarded a shuttle with his team members.
The shuttle rose slowly and gradually reached the sky, and the people on the ground became smaller and smaller. Wu Gen and others stood by the side of the ship, waving goodbye from afar.
The shuttle has been flying for a while, but everyone still doesn't want to return to the cabin. The journey ahead will be difficult and full of crises. Perhaps this will be the last time we see this great river and mountains.
Even though the people on board were all mentally strong people, they still felt a little heavy at this time. There is a long road ahead, when will we be able to return and how many people will be able to return.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the ship was a bit dull, Wu Gen took out a few jars of wine from the cabin and said to everyone: "Young men, this time we are going to Dayizhou, the six of us only have one heart. Don't worry, I, the big boss, will never let everyone Suffer a loss. Come, drink this cup of wine, and you will share the hardships, life and death, and spend the money together."
Everyone looked at him coldly, and no one said anything. Baoxiang was eager to try, but when he saw the atmosphere, he sat down again.
Seeing that everyone was ignoring him, Wu Gen didn't feel embarrassed, and smiled with a smile on his face, "How about this, I treat everyone to a good meal before entering the continent. Once you enter the foreign continent, you will eat and sleep in the open air, soaking in the rain and wind, I'm afraid I won't even be able to have a stable meal.
Before Mingshan arrived, the six of us drank wine with the scenery of our hometown, seasoned with brotherhood, heroic spirit, and strong ambition. This trip was bound to be a success. "
With that said, he set up a shelf on the shuttle, took some more beef and mutton, and started roasting it himself. After serving Luo Bing for so many days, his skills have naturally increased again. After a while, the aroma of meat and wine wafted around.
Shui came over from the first place in the moon and said, "Bring it here." He reached out and took out a leg of lamb that was already golden and sizzling with oil. He patted the wine jar next to him, removed the sealing mud, and picked it up with one hand. Then he drank loudly at the mouth of the altar.
With someone taking the lead, others gathered around, some helped, and some helped themselves to the wine cup. Even Feng'er poured a glass and drank slowly.
Suddenly, the scene suddenly became lively, and even the two men operating the boat, Zhao Xuansi, frequently looked sideways.
Wu Gen simply brought a jar of wine and brought it to the two of them, inviting them to drink together.
The road in the world is difficult, money is used as a horse, and the city of sorrow is broken, wine is used as an army. After three rounds of drinking, with Uncle Huan here, the atmosphere on the boat quickly became lively, eliminating the dullness when we just boarded the boat.
As a team leader, Wu Gen knows very well that a team must be relaxed and united, and cannot always be tense. It's not that he is greedy for drinks. During the exchange of drinks, the barriers between people will quickly decrease. Only after they get to know each other, people's hearts will come together. Otherwise, there will be many dangers ahead. With a straight face all day long and no room to relax, sooner or later the team will fall apart.
At night, after a day of commotion, everyone on the ship has returned to their cabins to rest. Only Wu Gen was sitting alone on the bow deck, looking at the bright moon above his head, drinking slowly alone with a green gourd in his hand.
During the day, I had inquired with the people from Zhaoxuan Division that the journey to Mingshan Mountain would take more than twenty days if it was fast, or more than a month if it was slow. This trip does not go straight to Mt. Hades, but also passes through several countries along the way. Although Zhao State had already communicated with these countries, they had to change the customs, and some places could not be directly flown over, which invisibly delayed some time.
Under the sky, the stars are like chess pieces and the area is like a river. The moonlight passed through the formation of the shuttle, and the light was slightly twisted, like water rippling slightly, and everything on the deck was slightly distorted. In the distance, the Pengxing has completely jumped out of the horizon, and its long star tail is trailing like a second Milky Way.
There were slight footsteps behind him. Wu Gen didn't even look back and said calmly, "You are finally here."
"Do you want to ask me why I want to go to Dayizhou?" Feng'er sat down next to Wu Gen.
"Stay further away, lest Qi He feel unhappy." Wu Gen whispered, and Feng'er moved another foot away.
"Who are you, and why did Xueyong go to the Great Relic Continent?" Wu Gen turned his head, his eyes were cold and stern, with a hint of murderous intent.
This time when I left Da Yizhou, I was the first to know that even Rong Xi was dragged into it. Xueyong has nothing to do with Rong Xi, so how could he know this information. Unless the person in front of me told me, how could it be such a coincidence?
There are many coincidences in the world, even if they are not coincidental to this extent. There is always something reasonable about unreasonable things.
"I'm Feng'er." Feng'er clasped his knees with his hands, looked at the full moon blankly, and said something that was not nonsense, "I asked Qi He to find Xue Yong."
Wu Gen let out a sigh of relief. The other party was unwilling to reveal his true identity, but he admitted that Xueyong was called by him. That was enough.
"Also, why didn't you keep Xueyong with you? Instead, send him to Rong Xi. You know, Su Jianyue has met him. How could Rong Xi trust such a person to stay with him?" Wu Gen Wushun looked at Feng'er's delicate face.
Under the moonlight, with her smoky eyebrows and plump lips, she is truly a beauty that transcends the ordinary world.
This woman always gives herself an inexplicable feeling. To a certain extent, she is somewhat similar to Zhao Ling. Since he was imprisoned in Geshan, in fact, with the loose guard, he could escape, but he stayed in the valley without taking a step.
Wu Gen was vaguely worried whether such an upright person as Qi He could conquer this woman.
Feng'er glanced at it but didn't answer.
"I don't care what your purpose is, don't hurt Qihe, otherwise I will make your life worse than death." Wu Gen threatened in a low voice.
"Qi He is a good man, and good men will be rewarded. As for you, I won't stand in your way, at least in Dayizhou."
Feng'er stood up and walked to the cabin, leaving behind these words that were neither salty nor light.
