"I wonder where Mr. Song and Empress Sanhua are going from the Dayan Kingdom, and why have they arrived at the border of our Li Country?"
"I traveled all over the world and swam to the coast of Dayan. I heard that there were many strange countries and legends about gods and monsters on the sea, so I took a boat out to sea to search for it. Since the fresh water prepared on the boat was no longer enough, I wanted to find an island to supplement it, but... Unexpectedly, I accidentally entered the territory of your country, which is really presumptuous."
"Haha, that's it!"
Huang Zhuang simply sat down with his legs crossed, laughed twice, and said to them: "My ancestors from the Li Kingdom also came from the Heavenly Kingdom. Although they were not Dayan at that time, they have the same roots. Our Li Kingdom The Lord is always respectful and polite to those who come from the Kingdom of Heaven. I will send a nimble boy to report to the Lord of the Kingdom and arrange a grand ceremony to welcome them."
Song You thought it was interesting, so he didn't refuse. He just cupped his hands and replied, "Then I'll trouble General..."
"No trouble, no trouble."
General Huang paused as he spoke, then turned his head slightly——
"Ma Er."
"My subordinate is here!"
A pockmarked cat stood up immediately with a solemn expression.
"give it to you."
"yes!"
The hemp cat turned around and quickly got into the grass.
I saw the grass swaying, and in the blink of an eye, the cat's shadow disappeared.
Song You withdrew his gaze and said to Orange Cat: "General, you must be strict in your military management."
"It's funny." Orange Cat shook his head, with a calm expression and tone, neither humble nor overbearing, nor frightened or frightened. He just stood up and glanced at Song You's boat, "Is this big boat Sir's car for going to sea?"
"Exactly."
"Huabao, send troops to guard!"
"yes!"
The black and white cat responded seriously.
"Everything is safe now. Sir, please come with me and go to the capital." The orange cat said and walked away.
"I will follow you, General."
Song You quickly followed behind it.
Sanhua Empress was stunned, but she also followed.
I could faintly hear the cat soldiers behind me whispering, saying things like "Is that a human?", "Where is the Kingdom of Heaven?", "As expected of the Kingdom of Heaven, the etiquette is really in place." There was also some discussion. Sanhua Empress is a cat god. It is said that Sanhua Empress does not look like an ordinary cat.
The sound slowly faded away.
"Where are you going, sir?" The orange cat turned to look at them as he walked.
"Oh, I was originally looking for the Beast Country on the sea, but I couldn't find it, so I had to temporarily dock here to supply supplies." Song You said and paused, "I wonder if General Huang has heard of this Beast Country?"
"Beast country?"
"Yaksha asked."
"Yaksha? Oh! Is it called 'Bao'erhui'?"
"I seem to have heard this sound."
"Ha ha……"
Unexpectedly, the orange cat raised its head and smiled after hearing this. With its mature and solemn voice, it could be heard that it was a bit desolate. Then it turned its head and glanced at Song You lightly: "I don't know how long it has been since the old Huangli. The last time a Yaksha entered by mistake Here, it was already more than 20 years ago.”
"Oh? How should I say it?"
"More than ten years ago, the world was in chaos. First, Hou Ling took the opportunity to cause chaos in Chao Gang, and then Bai Zhao usurped the country. Thirteen princes united to attack him. After the emperor was no longer the emperor, the conflicts between the three clans were no longer suppressed. Now this place is In the three-thirds of the world, there is no more kingdom of beasts.”
The orange cat half sighed and half regretted.
And from its mouth, Song You actually heard a bit of the magnificence and desolation of history.
It was also at this time that Song You realized that the "bald gray" mentioned by Yasha and the country of beasts translated by Ye Xinrong was the country of beasts mentioned by Orange Cat, which was this island.
"In the southwest of the world, the most convenient area for fishing and shrimp fishing is the territory of our country. However, during this period, the dog country, which was originally on good terms with our alliance and fought against the monkey country, ignored the alliance and not only sent sailors to invade our country. The fishing grounds of the Raccoon Kingdom also sent troops to enter the country in large numbers to seize Baizhou, which caused a lot of tension." Orange Cat said as he walked, "The dog soldiers are good at swimming, and the Governor of the Dog Kingdom is good at using tricks. The Prime Minister of the Raccoon Kingdom is worried that they will use The surprise troops landed from the seaside. Firstly, they attacked from two sides. Secondly, they took the opportunity to seize the coast of Shazhou, which is the most prosperous and rich in products in our country. So I was sent to lead the troops to defend it to the death. This is why the local defenders were so nervous about the two people who accidentally entered. If there is any offense, please forgive Mr. Song and Empress Sanhua."
"It's natural."
"Duoduohanhan~"
Empress Sanhua's expression was still dazed. She only followed the Taoist with small steps and repeated Orange Cat's words. She seemed to have not recovered yet.
Song You's expression remained calm.
But every time he lowered his head and looked into Sanhua Empress's eyes, he had to hold back his smile when he saw Sanhua Empress's clear and confused eyes.
"It's just that the situation is so tense at this time, and the defense of the sandbank coast is so important..." Song You glanced at the fat orange cat striding, and said carefully, "The general abandoned the camp and took us back to the capital to face us. Holy, is this okay?"
"Hahaha……"
Hearing this, the orange cat raised his head and laughed again, and said confidently: "Sir, please relax, the sea was very rough the past two days, and the true form of the Dragon God was faintly visible in the thunderstorm. Just based on those rats in the Dog Kingdom, I am afraid that all the people in the country will be dead within half a month." I don’t dare to go to the sea easily... Besides, we have already heard that the losses along the coast of the Dog Country have been heavy. I am afraid that I am busy cleaning up the mess at the moment, so how can I have time to invade our territory of the Li Country?"
"The general has great talent."
"Sir, you are so complimentary."
The orange cat took him all the way into the jungle and over several mountains.
There is a road in between, but it is very small. It was probably walked by cats, and it was also for cats to walk. It is only as wide as a human foot. Orange Cat and Sanhua Empress can walk easily, but Song You can't walk. It is different from traveling through the primitive jungle, which is a bit difficult.
When he climbed up the highest mountain, the orange cat took him to look far away, stretched out a paw to point to several mountains in the distance, marked an area, and said to him:
"That is Baizhou, which is occupied by the Dog Kingdom. Although it is not as rich as the sandbank, it is still a fertile land that produces bamboo insects and bamboo rats. The Dog Kingdom occupies it, and it is not far from the capital of the Raccoon Kingdom."
"I see."
Song You really didn't know how to respond, so he could only say this, then lowered his head and looked at Mao'er again.
Mao'er had a clear connection with him. She raised her head almost at the same time, still looking at him with clear and confused eyes, but with a bit of confusion as she looked at each other.
"..."
Song You pursed his lips tightly and followed the orange cat.
After climbing several more mountains and walking about three miles, there were obviously more cats in the mountains, and there were often cat nests on the roadside.
They should have entered the hinterland of the Li Country.
Going further, the cat nest has also changed.
At first, the simplest cat nest was just a piece of flattened grass with cat hair stuck on it. Most of the cats living there were thin, small, solid-colored cats, and some even had diseases or congenital disabilities. After General Huang took Song You and San They would avoid looking at Hua Niang Niang when she passed by, not daring to look at her. They were probably the cats with the lowest status in the country, and they also had the simplest cat nests.
Going further, there are houses made of hay, and the cat houses are often good places to protect them from wind and rain. Some even have small sheds, and there is even a small piece of sand behind the hut for excretion.
These cats have become much healthier and stronger.
And it’s rare to see solid-colored cats anymore.
These cats also dared to look at General Huang, and many of them stared at Song You and Sanhua Empress with curious and alert eyes.
There are cats walking back with fish, shrimps or mice in their mouths.
There are also cats playing around.
Song You even saw a large group of cats divided into two sides, practicing fighting and killing each other under the command of an old cat. He didn't know if they were training soldiers or something.
Song You looked left and right as he walked.
Sanhua Empress opened her eyes as wide as possible, turning her head left and right, not letting go of all the details of this place. She often stopped unknowingly and was stepped on by the Taoist behind her, and often fell behind the Taoist. , was reminded by the cat soldiers behind him, and then trotted to catch up.
Moving forward, the cat's nest becomes more and more luxurious.
There are even cats that have a special wooden shelf for basking in the sun, or a cat nest built into a tree, and a special warehouse for storing dried fish and meat.
"Can all cats in Tanuki Country talk?"
"Only a few smart people can speak. Generally speaking, you can become an official." Orange Cat said to him, "But most of them can still understand."
"What's the reason for this?"
"What reason?"
"Not many of Dayan's cats can talk."
"Sir, you are joking, doesn't Sanhua Empress know how to say it?"
"Sanhua Empress is an exception." Song You turned around and looked at Mao'er who stopped behind him and stared at the side with a confused look on his face. "Three Flower Empresses are all exceptionally smart and gifted in speaking."
"Then I don't know. Maybe you have to ask the king or the prime minister."
"That's right." Song You paused, "General, have you ever heard of Lilliput?"
"Lilliput? I've heard of it. Where are you going, sir?"
"I came down here to look for the country of beasts. I came here to ask for directions."
"That's it!" Orange Cat said, and shook his head, "Unfortunately, I have only heard of it. I'm afraid only the king and the prime minister know the specific location."
"I see."
"arrive!"
The orange cat paused slightly and pointed forward.
There is a steep mountain wall in front of it, about two or three feet high, with a cat sitting on it. There was only a gap below, and a group of cats were already standing there.
"There is a valley here, surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is very steep. Even the monkey soldiers of the Monkey Kingdom may not be able to climb up, let alone the cumbersome dog soldiers. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. But for our Li Kingdom's For a cat, it can be easier to get up and down." The orange cat paused, "The capital is inside, and the palace is in the middle. Those standing in front are our prime minister and general."
It was almost dark at this time, and Song You took a few steps forward before he could see clearly.
At the front was a thin black cat, and a little behind it stood a tabby cat that was not as big as the orange cat but was covered in scars with a fierce look on its face.
Behind him, a row of cats squatted on each side.
Behind them is a small natural valley.
In the middle of the valley stands a small house that is as tall as one person. It has stone walls and bamboo grass as a shed. It is really eye-catching. There are various cat houses scattered around.
Cats can be faintly seen running and walking inside.
The orange cat took them over and saluted the black cat and the tabby cat first. Song You saw the tabby cat staring at the orange cat with dissatisfaction, while the black cat stepped forward and greeted them:
"Your Excellency, you are Mr. Song who came from the Kingdom of Heaven, right? Is this the Empress Sanhua who has magical powers? I am Mo Taxue, the Prime Minister of the Li Kingdom. I am here to greet you two outside the city on the order of the Lord. There is a flying guest in the sky, please invite the three of you to follow me into the city, the king has already prepared water dishes."
"Thank you."
Song You followed it for two steps, then stopped and looked back at the orange cat. The orange cat smiled and said that he would invite him first, and he followed closely behind. Then Song You followed the black cat Prime Minister and walked inside.
I could faintly hear the civet cat scolding the orange cat behind me, asking why it left its post without permission.
The orange cat expressed his thoughts again. Although the civet cat still scolded it, it did not make it more difficult. It only asked it to explain to the king, which was regarded as accepting its return from the border.
The capital is very heavily guarded.
Song You followed them in, and after passing through half of the valley capital, he saw that the leader of the raccoon country was a rare tortoiseshell cat.
