In the two or three days after they came down, Ren Ning and the others no longer moved forward slowly as before, but galloped all the way to the southwest.
Fortunately, the journey was safe.
The Nanfeng Army they met before had disappeared somewhere, and the Baihuabei guards who were chasing them were nowhere to be found.
Xiao Gang's face was solemn and his mind was in chaos.
If you reveal your identity, you will actually be attacked by the local garrison, and they will be deadly.
If he hadn't experienced it himself, Mr. Xiao would never have believed that such a ridiculous thing could happen.
Although he felt uncomfortable, he still talked a lot.
However, after what happened along the way south, Xiao Gang has gradually become like Lei Er. He would resolutely implement whatever Ren Ning said and would not question it randomly.
However, after enduring it again and again, Xiao Gang couldn't hold it in any longer.
However, he did not dare to ask why the Baihua County garrison attacked the three of him. Instead, he changed the subject, "Brother Ren, where did the Nanfeng people from Caopu come from?"
Ren Ning and Lei Er were neither happy nor sad. They kept eating and sleeping, and seemed to have forgotten what happened before.
He looked at the map and said, "Eighty percent of it came from the sea."
The coastline of Baihua County is winding, and Caopu is not far from the seaside. After landing from the sea, it won't take long to arrive.
"Are there no defenders on the beach?" Xiao Gang asked again.
Lei Er laughed and replied for Ren Ning: "Who knows, like you, it is our first time to come to the south."
After another half day, the three finally entered Guangxin County.
More than a thousand years ago, the people of the imperial court at that time traveled all the way south and finally discovered this place.
They then sent a letter to the imperial capital: the new land was newly discovered in the south. The mountains are high, the forests are dense, there are many flies and insects, and the barbarians are unruly. Yiguang Bu Enxin...
His Majesty later established a county: Guangxin.
Snapped!
Xiao Gang slapped himself, "Damn, there are so many mosquitoes here."
In the blink of an eye, he slapped his arm again.
Opening his palm, he saw a mosquito about the same size as a fly.
Ren Ning laughed.
After leaving Baihua County safely, he relaxed a lot, took out a bottle of mosquito repellent powder and threw it over.
"Since you decided to come to the south to join the army, why don't you do your homework? There are three things in Guangxin County. There is a lot of rain, a lot of mosquitoes, and a lot of wild animals. You don't have to do anything else. At least you should prepare some mosquito repellents."
Xiao Gang was depressed.
He was already satisfied if he could be allowed to join the army, so how could he dare to let his mother know about the difficult situation here. Furthermore, without personal experience, it is difficult to imagine how numerous mosquitoes are.
"Are there many wild beasts?" Lei Er's mouth watered as soon as he heard this, and he quickly looked left and right: "Now I'm in for a treat."
Ren Ning shook his head speechlessly.
Although no pedestrians could be seen around them for a long time, they were walking on the post road, and it was unlikely that animals would pop up next to them.
If such an animal existed, it would have been eaten to extinction long ago.
After applying mosquito repellent powder on their mounts, the three of them walked forward for a long time.
I was also hungry, so I found a big tree on the roadside to sit down and eat.
Ren Ning suddenly looked strange and picked a leaf.
The big tree in front of me is tall and straight. Its compound leaves are small and oval in the shape of fingers, and there are some thin glands on the leaf tips.
He suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist and stabbed it hard at the tree trunk. After the knife was inserted, a stream of white juice came out and trickled down.
Ren Ning took a few drops and smelled it carefully, the strange color on his face became even stronger.
This is actually a rubber tree.
He has seen all kinds of vehicles in this world, such as the cars used by female relatives to send souls back home or the commercial vehicles used by the Saigu family's caravan to transport goods. Most of these cars have iron wheels, a few have wooden wheels, and rubber tires have never been seen.
Even in daily life, I have never seen rubber products, not even a pair of shoes.
Ren Ning's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly filled his stomach, stood up and looked around.
The rubber forest in front of us stretches as far as the eye can see, but there is no one that has been valued and no one has ever harvested rubber. It grows so pitifully on both sides of the post road.
A waste of natural resources, this is the black gold of future generations.
Lei Er was thinking about catching an animal to improve his food. When he saw it, he immediately took a few steps back in alarm: "Old Ren, is this white juice poisonous?"
When Xiao Gang heard this, he jumped three feet away.
Ren Ning shook his head, "Don't worry, the juice is a little sticky, but it's not poisonous. Of course, you can't eat it."
When Lei Er heard that he couldn't eat it, he immediately lost interest.
Ren Ning took a small ball of rubber liquid with great interest, and after it solidified, he rolled it into a small ball.
It is probably the world's first ball or table tennis ball.
"What is this used for?" Lei Er was curious.
Ren Ning didn't say much, just smiled and said: "A toy. I will teach you to play with it when I have time in the future."
"Polo?" Xiao Gang said, "It's just a small one."
He took it and threw it on the ground, his eyes suddenly brightened.
There were many gatherings in the imperial capital, and it was impossible for the dandies to compete in martial arts or write poems again and again. Many people just liked to play polo. The rubber ball in front of me is smaller than a polo, but its elasticity is much better.
Qiong had the name of Uncle Mansion, but the poor and frightened Young Master Xiao instantly thought of its function. "I wonder how this ball compares to the leather polo? If it lasts, we can consider buying some and selling them back to the imperial capital. Maybe we can make a fortune."
Ren Ning was noncommittal, "When you have time, we'll talk about it after we settle down."
He curled his lips.
Polo is nothing. If he hadn't been on the road, he would have prepared a football.
After eating, the three of them walked south again.
After a while, the sky was still sunny, but the rain began to fall miserably.
"What a damn weather." Lei Er cursed in disbelief.
The rain here is different from that in Misty County. What’s in Mist County is more like fog than rain, while what’s here in Guangxin County is just a lot of rain.
The rain was not heavy, but none of the three of them were wearing raincoats, and they were instantly drowned.
Ren Ning wiped his face, looked up at the continuous rain, and looked at the rubber forest around him, feeling the urge to immediately put on a raincoat and get out.
Of course, this would be impossible.
There was no way to hide from the rain, and it was cool to be showered, so the three of them took the opportunity to rush on.
Not long after, we finally saw a small town.
"Old Ren, it's getting late." Lei Er said.
Ren Ning nodded.
The three of them went into the town to take shelter from the rain and spend the night.
After stopping and walking like this, we finally arrived at the capital of Guangxin County: Nanshu City.
After looking at the two big characters on the top of the city, Ren Ning looked back.
When he was at Yan'an Fortress, he received a letter from his concubine Ren Xi, which stated that his aunt was planning to marry her to Nanshu City.
It's not far from Zhennanguan, and it will only take one day if everything goes well.
But the three of them planned to wait in Nanshu City instead of going directly.
Zhennanguan is also an important military location. If the large forces of the Starfall Legion did not catch up, they would definitely not be able to enter. Instead, they might be stared at from everywhere.
In this case, it is better to wait here in the capital.
