They looked at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears. Sun Quan and Yu'er looked at each other in confusion.
"Why go to a place with no roads?" Sun Quan asked subconsciously.
"Aren't you afraid that Cihang Jingzhai's bitch will catch up with you?" Yu'er replied.
What Yu'er said makes sense. If you can ride a horse, others won't look for horses to ride on? If you take the right path, don't be too obvious. You may even encounter other disciples of Cihang Jingzhai ahead. The only way to go where there is no way is to walk randomly. For Sun Quan and Yu'er today, this is the best choice. Even so, if there are tracking experts on Cihang Jingzhai's side, they may be overtaken if they don't move fast.
One is a pampered one, the other is tender-skinned. The two guys who originally insisted on choosing to take the official road to stay in an inn were finally forced to choose the route Zu Mao suggested at the time. Unfortunately, Zu Mao no longer has any companions.
"Then what do we do now, little brother?"
Yu'er has long regarded Sun Quan as her backbone, and besides, she really has no idea now.
Sun Quan's eyes twitched slightly,
"You have traveled around the world for so many years, don't you have any experience in surviving in the wilderness?"
Yu'er smiled,
"My sister has been relying on deceit and deceit to travel around the world. As long as she has money, she can't go anywhere!"
"Then do we have money now?" Sun Quan asked.
"If you don't have money, you can steal or rob!" Yu'er replied subconsciously. She had always done this before. After all, when did Yu'er, who had no money, ever have money? But Yu'er always lives a more comfortable life than most people. Every time she passes through a town, the big families in it will suffer. And on the official level, she may also rely on her martial arts to rob passing businessmen.
Although Yu'er looks like this, she never goes too far, doesn't steal much, and rarely kills anyone. In a word, she will never form a mortal enemy. Most of the victims saw that she was a top master, and they would not provoke her in turn even if they suffered little loss, let alone spend huge manpower and material resources to hunt her down afterwards. Therefore, Yu'er has always... There are not many enemies. Including those masters who were approached by her for a duel, they were all concerned about their status and would rarely really embarrass her as a woman.
In short, Yu'er rarely experienced the days of survival in the wilderness.
"Is there someone here who is stealing or robbing us?" Sun Quan asked angrily. He was not a bad person, let alone a moral defender. It's not that Sun Quan couldn't do bad things, the key was that he had to have the opportunity to do them!
"I said, you never had time to escape before?" Sun Quan asked unwillingly. Coming from modern times, he has no experience in surviving in the wild. The only experience he has is probably during picnics. But I have never eaten pork, and I have always seen pigs running away. Sun Quan has also watched a lot of wild survival TV programs, but because of this, Sun Quan is a little afraid to mess around.
It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. In Yu'er's eyes, survival in the wilderness is just a life of hardship. But Sun Quan thought more about it. He had to consider the issue of survival. Although encountering wild animals was no longer dangerous for martial arts practitioners, what about encountering poisons? What should you do if you are infected with germs? What if there is no water source? Drink N? In addition, it’s okay if there are wild animals. If you don’t encounter wild animals, how about eating chicken-flavored and crunchy “protein”? Also, making a fire is a problem. . . . . . Etc., etc.
Taking a step back, even if all of these can be overcome, there is still one biggest problem, and that is direction. Although Sun Quan still has the most basic sense of direction, as long as he looks for a direction according to the sun every day, he can always walk out of this wilderness, but in this era, there are very few towns. If this method is really used, Sun Quan and the two of them may have to go. Only when you walk directly to the mouth of the Yangtze River can you suddenly see the scenery. By then, several months have passed, and you don't know how much the world has changed. At worst, it is impossible that Sun Jian, the pillar of the Sun family, has died in the battle.
Smart people are often like this, thinking too much and worrying too much. This may not be a problem in the eyes of ordinary people, but for Sun Quan, it has become an extremely difficult problem. Sun Quan decided that when he returned to Jiangdong this time, it seemed that he would have to find someone to train him on how to survive in the wild. However, that is already a thing for the future, but what should we do now?
After thinking about it, Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and made a decision.
"Let's go back."
"Go back?" Yu'er's eyes widened. She admitted that Sun Quan's idea was a bit wild, but now that she was going back, "What if those people from Cihang Jingzhai haven't left yet, or haven't finished leaving yet?"
Sun Quan shook his head,
"I don't mean to go back to the town we just came from, I mean, let's go back to Luoyang. No matter what, let's take out the Jade Seal of the Kingdom first!"
Now that Sun Quan has no intention of handing over the Imperial Seal to Qin Chuan, it would be very unsafe to leave the thing in Luoyang for a long time. If Sun Quan really went back to Jiangdong directly, it would probably be very difficult for Sun Quan to go out and take out the jade seal again, and it might even have fallen into the hands of others. The most important thing is that Sun Quan believes that the road to Luoyang should be absolutely safe now!
After their whereabouts were exposed in Xu County, Cihang Jingzhai would definitely set up defenses on all the roads from Xu County to Jiangdong. If they wanted to return to Jiangdong, they really had to go through the jungle. Since there is no hope of crossing the jungle, it is better not to return to Jiangdong for the time being. Sun Quan didn't believe that there were so many people in Cihang Jingzhai, so many that they could never be used up, and that they could waste manpower and material resources at will. How could Sun Quan be so virtuous and capable? They wouldn't pursue him in all directions.
In addition, Sun Quan is actually worried that once his side disappears completely, Cihang Jingzhai will focus on his father Sun Jian. Therefore, Sun Quan also had another purpose in taking out the jade seal, which was to help his father share the pressure. By then, as long as he shows his face a little and reveals that the jade seal is in his hand, if there is no profit for the world, I believe it will be impossible to go to Sun Jian, who is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong! Of course, this may bring great danger to Sun Quan himself, but Sun Quan believes that as long as he hides the imperial seal in a place where no one can find it, and has something to rely on, the major forces will never harm him!
······
Luoyang,
When I came here again, everything had changed. Luoyang was prosperous back then, but it was dilapidated last time, but now Luoyang is gradually regaining its vitality. Sun Quan still underestimated the value of the name "Luoyang" in the eyes of the world, and even underestimated the ancients' yearning for the Feng Shui treasure land. Ordinary people coming to Luoyang may come for the name of Kyoto, but rich people, Especially businessmen, when they come to Luoyang in recent times, they often come to market in advance.
In the past, all the major forces in Luoyang were forcibly taken away by Dong Zhuo. At that time, because Luoyang was a gathering place for nobles, unless you were prominent, unless you were a relative of the emperor, otherwise, no matter how big the market and benefits were, you would not be able to get a share of it. Soup, no matter how greedy you are. But now, all the original power is gone, and the allied forces of the princes have withdrawn from Luoyang one after another. Except for Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, who nominally owns Luoyang, in fact, because he was worried about Dong Zhuo's counterattack, he did not really send anyone to guard Luoyang at all. Just some basic officials to maintain basic order.
This made those ordinary people who originally yearned for Kyoto but were unable to live in the capital, and those businessmen who originally coveted the huge cake of Luoyang but were not qualified to reach out, suddenly flocked to it. They didn't know the so-called wealth and wealth can be obtained through danger. Luoyang is now very risky, but they are still afraid that if they arrive too late, they will have no chance!
During this period, the merchant families in the Central Plains region all attached great importance to this opportunity, and sent out their elites and huge caravans to Luoyang. They knew very well that Luoyang was in short supply of supplies today. when. Their purpose this time is not to make money, but to gain a foothold in Luoyang. Families from other regions, and even the Jiangdong region, as long as they were ambitious people, also sent people here. They knew that due to geographical reasons, they would not have an advantage, but maybe they could still make a mistake? No matter how bad it is, establishing a base in Luoyang will be convenient in the long run. You know, Luoyang now is full of unclaimed land! (Although Wang Kuang collected those empty houses, he had no control over them at all. In addition, he didn’t think he could occupy Luoyang for a long time. Therefore, as long as a family offered money and was willing to buy it, he would basically sell it to the one with the highest price. Yes. Even if it was a high-ranking official's mansion back then, as long as you dared to buy it and live in it, Wang Kuang would dare to sell it. As for the future, if Dong Zhuo fights back, or other princes take over Luoyang, and you are kicked out, that has nothing to do with Wang Kuang. matter)
Of course, businessmen are all shrewd people. Especially in this era, businessmen are quite low-key, not to mention their low status. They would never touch an official's residential area. However, there are some smart people who would spend money to buy it or even spend money to take care of it, but they would not live in it themselves. They just thought that in the future, when the high-ranking official came back, they would offer it with both hands. , and then get a favor. Most businessmen chose the wealthy areas of Luoyang or some bustling downtowns. In the words of later generations, now is a good time to buy land at low prices.
If Luoyang back then was a large shopping mall with well-organized management, making people feel comfortable and classy, and they would lower their voices and be polite even in daily interactions, then Luoyang now is a vegetable market, with all kinds of people. Yes, there are stalls everywhere, selling all kinds of things, and there are constant shouts. It completely loses the majesty at the emperor's feet, but it seems a bit more lively than before.
Seeing this situation, Sun Quan was confused.
Not only was he confused that nearly half of Luoyang City could be restored to this state in a short period of time; Sun Quan was even more confused that the total population of Luoyang City now might be higher than before, just like those in the previous life In big cities, rich people may buy the same house alone, but they may not be able to live in it, but those who are struggling to make ends meet often have several people sharing the same house.
Of course, Sun Quan's judgment at this moment was actually wrong, because he only saw the most prosperous and lively areas in Luoyang today. In fact, there are still several deserted areas in Luoyang that are almost ghost towns. But the facts do not affect Sun Quan's degree of confusion, because Sun Quan does not care about the development of Luoyang City at all. What he cares about is that there are people living in the place where he hid the national jade seal, right? !
"Let's hurry up!" Sun Quan looked serious. Yu'er on the side also realized the seriousness of the situation.
