Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2595: The change in South China, the southern capital Kunming

Since Daqin and Nanman do not have a border, there are only two ways to go to Nanman.

One is to go by water, you need to go from Luoyang to Beihai, then take a boat from Beihai Port, go around Qing, Xu, Yang, Guang, and Jiaozhou, and then go to Nanman by land after arriving at Qingmei Port in Annan.

Although it is a safe way to go by water, it makes a big circle, and it takes at least a month and a half to go by land after landing, which is really too long.

Every minute counts for state diplomatic relations, not to mention that Li Jing's army of [-] people is still waiting in front of Yangping Pass. Naturally, it is impossible for Zhang Yi to walk slowly for a month and a half.

Therefore, Zhang Yi chose the second option on his mission to Nanman this time, by land.

To travel by land requires passing through Chu and Shu, and these two countries are still hostile countries of Da Qin, so the risk is still great.

Once discovered by the people of Shu and Chu, if Zhang Yi, who was trapped in the enemy's territory, couldn't be hunted and escaped in time, it would be like a meat bun and a dog.

But even so, Zhang Yi still decided to take the land route. After all, Shu and Chu are not small. As long as you carefully avoid crowded areas and don't delay too much, it is basically impossible to be discovered.

Ying Hao also didn't want Zhang Yi to go and never return, so not only did he send new seven swords and seven master masters to protect Zhang Yi's safety, but also secretly sent Ying Gou to protect the group.

Under the protection of the seven masters of the New Seven Swords, Zhang Yi did not encounter any setbacks in the early days of his trip. Starting from Luoyang, he went all the way with great speed. It only took ten days to pass through the six counties of Nanyang, Xiangyang, Jiangling, Changsha, Wuling and Penghu. place.

However, after entering Yizhou County, Zhang Yi and his party encountered a big one.

Liu Bian's death was dumped by Liu Yu to the Five Poison Religion. Although the Five Poison Religion has been exterminated by Wang Yue, after all, it has been rooted in Southern China for a hundred years, and its affiliated forces and closely related people are still many. .

Naturally, these people have to be dealt with, so during this period of time, a large number of spies gathered in southern Yizhou and Nanzhong area, just to eradicate the remnants of the Five Poison Religion.

Zhang Yi and his party naturally didn't want to cause trouble, but they couldn't help but take the initiative to trouble them.

When Da He He was chasing and killing Lan Fenghuang, the remaining evildoer of the Five Poison Sect, he happened to meet Zhang Yi and his party who were envoys to Nanman, and they naturally inspected them as usual.

If Zhang Yi and the others asked someone to inspect them, they would 100% reveal their identities, and if they refused, it would be tantamount to self-reporting.

However, considering that they are now in Yizhou County, they are not too far from Nanman. As long as they enter the territory of Nanman, they are naturally safe, and if they go back, they can go by water.

After thinking about this, Zhang Yi didn't worry too much, and gave the seven people a wink.

After the seven master masters understood, they immediately drew their swords and killed all the fifty great masters they encountered.

And the direct consequence of doing this is to attract hundreds of people to hunt down and kill, and thousands of troops to besiege and intercept.

After all, there are [-] big people. This is a very strong force. It can even wipe out some small sects. Liu Yu arrived in Chengdu.

Although Liu Yu didn't know who did it, at the moment when he was about to become emperor, someone committed such a big case in Shu, which was a silent provocation in his eyes.

Liu Yu immediately ordered the local garrison to block major roads, and at the same time sent Wang Yue to investigate, just to find out this group of daring thieves who dared to provoke him before he ascended the throne.

However, because Zhang Yi and others moved in time and did not leave any traces of their actions, when Wang Yue brought them to Yizhou County, they had already entered Yongchang County.

"Master, the thief has already removed all traces, and now he has no idea where he went."

Shi Meng said in a deep voice that he was Shi A's younger brother, but he did not join Cao Wei with his elder brother, but followed his master Wang Yue to serve Shu Han.

"Looks like we're late." Farmer Tian Hu sighed.

"Not too late, not at all."

Wang Yue stared at the mutilated corpses on the ground, and said solemnly: "Only these three corpses were found, but no other corpses were found. It seems that they should have been disposed of by the corpse-dissolving water.

There was no second wound on the three corpses, and the wounds were smooth and smooth, indicating that they were all killed by a sword, and it had been so long, but there was still sword intent left in the wounds.

This shows that the shots are all masters, and the weakest are master-level swordsmen, and it is even possible that they are great masters.

However, judging from the sword marks and sword intent, there should be more than one person who shot, and the number of opponents should be around four or five, otherwise they won't be able to escape even one.

The master swordsmen of the major sects in Yizhou add up, I am afraid they can't get together so many, it seems that they are all outsiders.

There are so many master swordsmen in the whole world, I am afraid that only Da Qin is the only one. "

After saying that, Wang Yue closed his eyes, pressed his fingers on the wound, and lowered his heart to feel the sword intent, and then said: "On these three corpses, I felt flames, ice, and lightning, three completely different types of corpses. Sword Intent, and Daqin Qijian happens to have these three kinds of Sword Intent."

"So it's the hand of Da Qin's Seven Swords?" Shi Meng asked.

"Hmph, isn't that obvious?"

After Tian Hu snorted coldly, he asked, "Sir, what should I do now?"

Wang Yue did not answer. What he cares about now is not why Daqin Qijian committed the crime in Yizhou County, but why Qijian appeared in Yizhou County.

Qijian, as the ace of the Black Ice Platform, and Wang Yue, as the leader of the big one, naturally dealt with them a lot.

If there were only five people, Wang Yue would still be able to beat him, and six would be able to draw with him.

If Qijian can dispatch four or five people, or even all of them, it must be a person with a very high status or an extremely important person who needs the protection of Qijian.

Why did Daqin send such a character to sneak into Yinan at this time?The answer is self-evident, it is very likely to contact Nanman.

"not good."

Wang Yue's eyes widened for a moment, the boss had a bad premonition in his heart, and he quickly wrote a letter to let Shi Meng travel back to Chengdu, reminding Liu Yu that Daqin might join forces with Nanman.

As for Wang Yue himself, he chased the Nanzhong area at full speed by himself. After all, he had already guessed this. Even if there was only a slight possibility, it was impossible to let Qin Envoy go to Nanzhong.

But Wang Yue also knew that if all seven swords were present, even if he caught up, he wouldn't be able to fight, so he was going to call some helpers.

Liu Yu was also worried that when he was proclaimed emperor, there would be masters of Daqin to make trouble. After all, the ten great masters of Daqin made a riot in Chang'an, which made all the kings in the world horrified, so he sent Taoism, Buddhism, Agriculture, Mo, Confucianism and other anti Qin factions The great masters were invited to Yizhou.

At this time, hundreds of great masters such as Zhuang Zhou, Yin Xi, Sakyamuni, Manjusri, Kuliusun, Mo Di, Huang Chengyan, Meng Ke, Xu Xing were all in Chengdu, and there was Houqing, who was side by side with Zhulong. The Dahan Guardian is there to ensure that the enthronement ceremony will not be damaged.

Of the great masters in Chengdu, Wang Yue naturally couldn’t be called, and it was too late, but as far as he knew, Lu Chunyang from the Taiqing faction and Jiang Ming from the Shushan faction happened to be in the south of Yizhou, and they urgently passed on the book. If given to the two of them, they should be able to catch up.

After Zhang Yi and others left Yongchang County and entered Nanzhong, they thought they were safe and sound, but they did not expect the three great masters Wang Yue, Lu Chunyang and Jiang Ming to chase Nanzhong.

Relying on the new seven swords alone, even if the seven swords are combined, they are not the opponents of the three great masters.

At a critical juncture, Ying Gou, who had broken through to the peak of the great master, appeared in time, and by his own efforts, he blocked the alliance of the three great masters, and also allowed Zhang Yi and others to take the opportunity to escape into the hinterland of South Central.

Wang Yue saw that Zhang Yi and others had fled far away, and if he continued to go further, he was afraid that it would disturb the masters of the Nanman. Besides, the three of them couldn't win the game together, so they could only take the initiative to return to Shu.

Ying Gou didn't stop the three. After all, he was in the enemy country, and he didn't know how many helpers the other party had.

After Zhang Yi and others entered the hinterland of Nanzhong, they immediately showed their identities to the Nanman officials, and were warmly welcomed by the local officials and the people. They were then escorted by the army to Kunming, the capital of Nanman.

Zhang Yi came to Nanman for the first time and had no intuitive feeling about the changes in Nanman, but among the new Seven Swords as the mission's guard, some members had been here before.

"Is this really Nanman?"

Gao Jianli and Ye Gucheng were both shocked. They had both been to Nanman many years ago, and the Nanman was still very primitive at that time.

Most of the people lived by hunting, and there was a shortage of food. Most of them could not eat enough, their face was yellow and skinny, and their clothes were not covered. The few who could wear clothes were basically made of animal skins.

But now farming has become the main way of life for the southern barbarians. The people are ruddy, strong and strong, and they don't look like they are hungry, and most of them have clothes to wear.

In addition, in the past, Nanman had no city at all, and the people were all tribes and lived in villages, but now they have built a city by the mountains and rivers.

Zhang Yi and his party went through the three county towns of Yuanmou, Wuding and Fumin.

Although the scale of these cities is not large, and the walls are also very thin, they can't stop the impact of the ramming hammer. They are basically at the same level of defense as Wubao, but this is already a great improvement for Nanman.

Zhang Yi and the others looked at each other, surprised by the changes in Nanman, but what shocked them even more was that they saw many Han people in Nanzhong.

It is said that the Nanman and the Shu Han have a deep feud like the sea, and they will never die, but the Nanman people do not hate the Han people in the territory, but respect them very much.

Zhang Yi and others learned that the Han people in Nanzhong came from all over the Central Plains, including Wu, Chu, Qin, Ming, Wei, Song and other countries, but they were all hired by the Nanman King Chiyou to help the development of Nanman. .

These people may not be very talented, but they all have a skill, and they are all unhappy in their own countries. After coming to Nanman, they have money, status, and women, and most people naturally do not want to go back. .

It is also with the help of these Han people and the strong support of Daqin in the past two years that such a big change has taken place in the southern barbarians.

After learning this, both Qijian and Zhang Yi deeply admired this Nanman King who had never met before. After all, he really benefited and changed the entire ethnic group by himself.

"Be careful when you arrive in Kunming, don't call it Nanman Nanman, it doesn't sound good, it's called Nanguo now."

Zhang Yi warned with some worry, and the seven naturally nodded in agreement.

When they arrived in Kunming, the eight people were shocked.

If the county towns encountered along the way are only at the level of Wubao, then this southern capital has the level of the Central Plains prefecture, which is enough to show how much effort the Southerners have devoted to this Kunming city.

Before Zhang Yi and the others entered the city, they found that someone had already greeted them at the gate of the city, and the leader was the Nanman King, Chi You.

Chi You opened his heart, looked like a hug, and said with a smile: "Friends from Daqin who have come from afar, Nanguo welcomes you."

Seeing this, Zhang Yi hurriedly dismounted and saluted, "Zhang Yi, the servant of the Daqin Ministry of Rites, has seen His Royal Highness Nanwang."

"You don't need to be too polite. Daqin is the most honorable friend of the Southern Kingdom. Speaking of which, the name Kunming was acquired by the Emperor of Daqin."

Zhang Yi and the others were all shocked. The capital of the Southern Kingdom was actually named by His Majesty, and the Southern King Chiyou actually adopted it. Is the relationship between Qin and Nan really that good?
