The order came very urgently, and Black Tower even directly stated that the entire team would be dispatched together without any delay.
Everyone knows that this is a means of adjustment and comfort. Hunting down the cunning elixir condensation master like Mang King Kong and going to Jiangdong to promote food are basically two completely different jobs. The former is bitter, hard and even dangerous, while the latter is basically It is a public-funded tour that makes a profit.
Although it was a tense situation, the winner was clearly determined.
No one in Bai Yousi's patrol team expressed dissatisfaction with this, and no one else mentioned it, they were all happy with it, and the two parties involved, Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi, didn't say anything.
In fact, Bai Yousi didn't think clearly, and Zhang Xing felt relieved - it's not that he was afraid of anything. In fact, after surviving the confrontation that day, Zhang Xing asked himself that there was no danger, and the rest was nothing more than There are some political tricks in the hands of big shots, and it is even less likely that he will be afraid of those martial men when playing political tricks.
Mainly, Zhang Xing really felt that the political environment here in Dongdu was really not good. The saint just didn't want to live in peace. He killed a thousand people today, sent 100,000 slaves tomorrow, and killed another thousand people the day after tomorrow. Human beings, after a long time, it's strange that people who are a little angry don't slump with dark circles under their eyes like Li Ding.
The environment will alienate people. Watching this kind of thing all day long will be powerless. No matter how outstanding a person is, he will become sullen and indifferent. According to the opinions of some masters Zhang Xing saw in another world before, this should be why people always It is to question the lack of talents in the court in the middle and late dynasties - it is not that there is no talent, it is not that there is no handsomeness, but that it is alienated and suppressed by the environment and unable to do well-organized things.
And the same person, if he survives from the end of a dynasty to the beginning of another dynasty, he does not even need to wait until the early stage and directly enters troubled times, but he will often shine.
Why?
Because the environment has changed, rigid constraints have been lifted, and human vitality has been released.
Of course, everything has two sides. No matter how rigid the system is, it will protect people and lend its strength generously. It was because of this that Zhang Xing chose to join Jingantai and Bai Bai when he first arrived and had no place to stand. Inspection.
But now, after staying in Dongdu for more than half a year, feeling the power of this force, and realizing the cruelty of this force, Zhang Xing's mind has changed slightly.
He began to reflect slightly but clearly on himself. Could it be that he had chosen the wrong novice camp? It's just that this line of thinking changed slightly after that night.
There are two roads from Dongdu to Jiangdong. One is to cross the hinterland of the Central Plains and go south across the Huaihe River. The other is to go down to Nanyang first, then go south along the Han River opened by Bai Diye, and then go down the river.
The former was suitable for going north, and the latter was suitable for going south. Under Bai Inspection's decision, the patrol team chose the second way without hesitation.
As a member of the patrol team, Zhang Xing, of course, could only follow the order and quickly regroup.
Of course, arrangements must be made. There is only one and a half girls left in the family. In addition to leaving enough money and food, Qin Bao also followed Zhang Xing's suggestion and went to Jing'an Taichung to make a report, asking Taichung to follow the inspection team's field work Follow the rules of the day and go to your home regularly to call the door and protect you.
In addition, Qin Bao's spotted horse with lumps cannot be kept. It is too wild and Yueniang cannot take care of it. It is also difficult for Yue Niang to buy meat and wine every day. Fortunately, it has gradually grown up and will have a skeleton in a month or two. It's sturdy and can be ridden, so just take it with you.
From now on, there really is nothing left to arrange. The two bachelors decide what the bachelor's rights are.
Speeding all the way south, the journey was lackluster and so exhausting that one had no extra thoughts. For Zhang Xing, the only two things worth mentioning were: first, he did not find a large number of expected new conscripts on the road; second, he did not find a large number of expected new conscripts on the road; , the Han River, which was wide, neat, and magically clear and smooth, left a deep impression on him.
Leaving aside the former, there is no doubt that the latter has undergone an extraordinary change similar to that of Hongshan.
As for the former, the truth came to light after arriving in Xiangyang and being hosted by Bai Wuluo, the general manager of Jingzhou.
It turned out that according to the news from the DPRK, even though the regulations on the Temple of Heaven were in place, the construction of the Babel Tower was actually hindered by the geography of Ziwei Palace, the Temple of Heaven, and Beimang Mountain. It was difficult to start the project and wanted to use more manpower. There was no need to complete it as quickly as possible, and in the end, only 10,000 people were needed for monthly labor. In response, the imperial court simply sent out official slaves, and recruited some servants directly from the Eastern Capital to undertake this simple task.
Of course, Zhang Xing still suspected that this was probably not a problem with the engineering, but rather that the tower could not be built quickly enough.
Moreover, when the Chief Manager of Jingzhou waved his hand and sent his niece a three-story official ship that could carry all the members of the patrol team and the accompanying horses to salute, Zhang Xing, who came down quickly, even received it from his own patrol. Some validation.
"There is such a saying."
It was early winter. Bai Yousi stood on the bow of the boat, slightly discharging his true energy. He held his long sword and looked around at the wind, but he didn't look back and answered simply. "The saint was born before the late emperor ascended the throne. At that time, he had many friends in the Western Capital, and it was well known that the young man embarked on the path of spiritual practice. Later, when he conquered Nanchen, he was the marshal of the princes. At the age of more than 20, he was already a great master of Tongmai. He has become a perfect master... It has been almost twenty years now, and there is no reason not to condense the elixir into an elixir and reach the state of a master... Some people even speculated that any orthodox emperor who reigns in the world will naturally inherit the world's vitality and directly pass through it. The realm of a Grandmaster, or even a Great Grandmaster...it’s just that this kind of thing cannot be verified.”
At this point, Bai Yousi finally turned back: "But no matter what, there is no doubt that the saint's cultivation is extremely high... the twelve great masters may not be false words."
Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but ask: "What about the pagoda? Did the grand master start building the pagoda, or did the great master start building the pagoda?"
"Some masters start to build, and some great masters start to build, but basically after reaching the master, they rarely run around like they did in the condensation and elixir-forming stages. If they don't build a tower, they have to start settling in one place or interfere. It seems that there are some people who do not build pagodas. My master has been hovering on Taibai Peak all year round. The governor of Dongyi simply built a huge sea ship, and the governor It’s not a foregone conclusion, he likes to go out to sea and fish for whales when nothing happens.”
"I think that counts as a tower." Zhang Xing burst into laughter for a moment, then hesitated for a moment, and then looked back at several young people in the group who were also fascinated by the words before continuing to ask. "Actually, someone told me that the tower is the outer body of the grandmaster, and is used by the grandmaster to operate and maintain his true energy? If this is the case, the tower should not be restricted to any shape or form, right?"
"It makes sense." Bai Yousi said it made sense, but shook his head in reply. "But that may not be the case, because most masters still directly erect the tower... This shows that the erection of the tower is not just as simple as running the infuriating energy. It may have other effects, but it is just a matter of that level. It's impossible to explain it clearly... But no matter what, I understand what you mean. It's really a relief to serve 10,000 people every month, and I'm also very happy."
Zhang Xing nodded and said no more about the matter. Instead, like the other party, he focused his attention on the terrifyingly wide Han River under his feet.
Bai Yousi understood and took the initiative to explain: "It is said that Emperor Bai expanded the Han River and occupied the water system in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the real dragon Huaiyang Lord who was entrenched on the Huaihe River. Lord Huaiyang was the emperor when the Qing Emperor was enthroned The real dragon, which is famous all over the world, once fought a decisive battle with the Qing Emperor. He came to Hanshui to trouble the Bai Emperor, but he was killed here. After the dragon fell, the Bai Emperor laid out the dragon's corpse. At the Han River. Since then, the Han River has been wide and open, with neither drought nor floods, turning Jingxiang into a beautiful place in the world. It has also made the north and south more unobstructed. If you hold Guanzhong in the upper reaches of the Han River, you can easily control the river. The middle section, and then press the rear section of the river."
Zhang Xing became more and more aware that this was almost half of the Grand Canal.
Let's say that in early winter, the cold wind was blowing on the bow of the ship. Hu Yan and other old adults went to the ship building early to drink tea and recuperate. However, because Bai Yousi was here, Qian Tang, Li Qingchen, Qin Bao and others gathered early... At this time, after listening to the boring conversation between Zhang Baishou and the inspector for half a day, they all became impatient. However, they saw that the inspector was in a good mood and was actually in the mood to talk about ancient times, so he wanted to come forward to join in the fun and chat some gossip.
Unexpectedly, before anyone could say anything, Bai Yousi suddenly turned around and asked, "Zhang San, I have nothing to do. You have such a beautiful scenery and you are an outstanding scholar. Do you have any good poems?"
Like everyone else, Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, but then smiled bitterly: "Where can I find a good poem in a hurry?"
Several young people, especially Li Qingchen, who claimed to have some literary talents, quickly thought about it, but Qian Tang and Qin Bao had already realized something and simply avoided speaking.
Qin Bao even hesitated whether to go back and take care of his tumor-spotted dragon colt.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xinggang declined, Bai Yousi immediately replied with a rare smile: "I have seen a long time ago that your mood gradually became cheerful after boarding the ship in Xiangyang. You should have suppressed all the worries in Dongdu. In fact, I Ordinary, in that case, why not borrow a poem to temporarily forget those troublesome things, and then express the feeling of relief in your chest?"
At this moment, Li Qingchen also woke up a little - would you dare to do it without us?
At this point, Zhang Xing couldn't resist. He thought for a while and thought of a poem. Then he took a step forward and came to Bai Yousi's side. He held his knife and looked at the Hanshui River in front of him and whispered. And recite:
"The boats are stacked hundreds of feet apart and divide the waves like whales."
"It's just ordinary." Li Qingchen was a little annoyed. "Besides, the inspection asked you to chant loudly and express your feelings of relief. Why do you do so in such a low voice?"
Zhang Xing was waiting for this guy. He immediately turned around, smiled, and recited in a low voice with his fingers:
“The boats are stacked hundreds of feet apart and divide the waves like whales.
Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of fearing the dragon under the river. "
Li Qingchen was startled for a moment, but Bai Yousi laughed with his sword in hand.
ps: I’m ashamed, I can’t concentrate all the time... I’m really old.
