Father Han Gaozu

"You! You are not allowed to go forward!"

"Back off!"

"You guy, I'm talking to you, and you dare to ignore me?!"

Xia Houzao was furious, and stretched out his hand to draw his sword. The lieutenant at the side hugged him tightly and shouted in horror: "Taiwei! Taiwei! They are poisonous people! They don't understand!!! "

This is the border of the Xiting Kingdom, passing through a narrow valley, the poisoned caravans lined up here, and the poisoned businesses formed a long queue here.Toxic business in this area.They are all relatively developed, and this time it is not only merchants who come here, but also many scholars.and their officers.Li Chen who was escorted and so on.

The entire Xiting Kingdom looked a little gray.But the road is very lively.What are those people talking loudly about?From time to time, officials rode on horses to drive the ministers forward.From Maurya to Kingslayer.There has been a cliff-like decline in military strength.In fact, this is mainly related to the prosperity of Brahmanism today.In the past.Although the Maurya Dynasty also had ministers and untouchables.But there are not many.It is mainly composed of prisoners of war.

Facing domestic bankrupts.The temple will give some help.They will also be recruited to become a standing army, so as to reduce the unemployed and reduce the pressure on public security.But now, the caste system has become serious here.A large number of people in the country are defined as untouchables and deprived of all rights.including the right to serve in the military.As a result, the territorial gap between the two sides is not very large, but the gap between the edges is very different.

At this moment, these ministers bowed their heads.Driven by officials.It is slowly moving towards the direction of Xiting Kingdom.They came here to build the imperial mausoleum.

Xia Houzao led an army of 800 to sit here to interrogate the travelers and protect the poisoned caravan.

But this is not an easy task.What did the big man Peacock King say?Doing things is chaotic, there is no rules, no order, just do it all together.Some are building roads, some are escorting ministers, some are doing business, and some are forced to do business.The people who came were chaotic, not in order of each other, and these people were very unruly.He often does things that make Xia Houzao very angry.

It is so difficult to let them line up obediently in a long line and pass through the interrogation one by one.All the poisonous people here are thinking about whether they can take advantage of it.Can they sneak in a team, even if it is one step ahead of others, they will be very satisfied.

Xia Houzao looked at those poisonous merchants who were eager to try and continue to move forward.Where is the translator?

The translator contacted those who sent Lichen over there.

Forget it, I'll go up and say it myself.

Ah, Taiwei, when did you learn to speak poisonously?

Over the past few days, I have listened to the conversations between those translators and merchants.I feel like I've grasped something, too.

Xia Houzao was full of confidence.Stepping forward, he chatted with the merchant.The soldiers behind him were stunned when he spoke loudly and poisonously.My own Taiwei actually still has this ability and learned it after hearing a few words from others.

It wasn't just the soldiers who were stunned, including those who were poisoned.Also stunned.Because they have no idea what the general in front of them is talking about.That was definitely not any language I had ever heard. …

Xia Houzao spoke loudly, dancing and dancing.The poisonous man took a few steps back with fear on his face.

look!They all understood.

Several counties of Xiting Kingdom.It has become the largest trading area today.Merchants from the Central Plains trade with the poisoned people from here.The bulk of the trade is mainly concentrated in silk.Silk is a popular commodity everywhere.Bronze and porcelain, of course.And the merchants of the big man.The most important thing is cotton.Precious things like food and spices.There are a lot of poisonous people here.

In just an instant, Xiting Kingdom fell into an inexplicable prosperity.Merchants are everywhere.hold each other.Although most of them do not speak the language, they still rely on jewelry and the like to conduct transactions.Liu Qi was overjoyed.Only Cao Wei didn't look so happy.

There are too few merchants who have been poisoned from their bodies.The people who come now simply cannot eat so many goods.

I have brought too many merchants, if there is not much profit.That's not enough to earn back the cost of traveling alone.

Cao Wei frowned and said worriedly.

Liu Qi sat beside him,
Looking at the recent trade situation in Cao Wei's hands.Because of the lack of population in Xiting Kingdom, there are so many things to do this time.Almost no ministers accompanied Liu Qi.In the huge palace.There were only two of them, Liu Qi and Liu Qi.Even those nearsighted.They were all photographed by Liu Qi and went out to do errands.

Zhongfu, for now.This is also impossible.The road between Shendu and West Qin.It's not easy to go, look at this season.It's still hot here.But go to the body poison side, the more you go there, the more clothes you need to wear.Especially those mountain passes that were close to the poison, even the soldiers of the Belgian army were frozen to death, let alone the merchants?
These poisonous people are afraid of the cold, and the road is so bumpy. If it wasn't for the Peacock King forcibly ordering merchants to come to Xiting Kingdom, there would be none of these people.In a few years, when the road is repaired and the carriages can pass, the situation will be much better.

Cao Wei kept a straight face.no.

You don't know that we are under a lot of pressure when we go out to trade this time.The same is true for Shihuo Mansion. All the ministers disagree with starting a business. Only now that they have made achievements, they have not yet made trouble.Once we fail this time, we don't get enough benefits.These people are bound to fight back.In this way, I have failed His Majesty's high expectations and failed to fulfill his orders.

Liu Qi looked at Cao Wei in surprise.

Sure enough, this man still needs to do more things, and he can grow only after suffering.This man has always been known for being weak and incompetent, but now he can say such words.

I am here this time because I am sweating profusely in this foreign trade.His Majesty has an order, only success is not allowed.

Liu Qi laughed bitterly.How can this be good?You can't let the Peacock King send merchants here again, if they send them, how long do you have to wait?

Cao Wei hesitated for a moment.Then he said, I can integrate the current caravan to go to the body.

Liu Qi stood up suddenly, no.

Nakao.You are old, the road is difficult, and the weather is changeable, so you cannot take such risks.If you must go, let me send a minister to replace you. …

The emperor's mausoleum was built, roads were built, and there were a large influx of poisonous businessmen.Are your ministers enough?

I saw that your three fathers have black eyes and haven't rested for several days. If they leave.Who are you looking for?Now I have nothing to do, this is my job, so I don't need to say much.

Cao Wei seemed to have regained his confidence, and with a wave of his hand, Liu Qi was not allowed to speak.

Liu Qi wants to cry but has no tears, you don't want to awaken the soul of Marquis of Pingyang at this time.Pingyang Hou, who was always weak on weekdays, has become Pingyang Yihou here, how can there be any reason for this?If the old man made a mistake on the road, he could still escape the relationship, Zhong Fu would definitely have his cramps stripped of his skin.

But Cao Wei is at this moment.Suddenly waiting for possession.The level of seriousness is simply not what Liu Qi can convince.

There is no other way to do it now.Let the merchants go on their own.

These merchants can't be easily trusted. It's best if I go there. You can send me twenty soldiers plus the troops I brought with you.

As for the generals, there is no need to send them. They are also busy, so they can't delay their affairs.

Liu Qi couldn't convince the old man no matter how much he persuaded him, and in the end he could only compromise.However, he still sent three imperial physicians to follow the old man to get rid of the poison, and at the same time, he sent someone to ask Han Xin to send someone
Come escort.

Cao Wei returned to the mansion where he was temporarily staying, and asked Wei Ying to start preparations.

Wei Ying was also taken aback when he learned that Cao Wei was going to lead the caravan to study in depth.

Patriarch, Your Majesty only let us conduct trade in the Xiting Kingdom, and never let us go there to be poisoned.

Hahaha, this is the time for a man to make meritorious deeds.

His Majesty has entrusted him with an important task.I just wish I could stand up at this time.I have been doing nothing all my life, and now I have a great opportunity to make meritorious service, how can I miss it.

Cao Wei stroked his beard with a proud expression on his face.

Wei Ying was silent for a moment, before bowing.Patriarch, in the past few days, I followed those merchants and saw many people who came from the poison.According to them, the road to poisoning is extremely difficult and there are many places to go.Even the carriage may not be able to pass, and a detour is required.In some places, the sky is full of yellow sand or there is a blizzard, and many merchants are on the road
superior.At your age, this is really not a good opportunity.

Cao Wei's impact on the harsh environment is to stay in Xiting Kingdom. He really can't think of any place where the environment in Beiting Kingdom can be worse than here. He said indifferently, this Xiting Kingdom has come here Now, what are those roads?

The roads there may be 10 times more dangerous than the roads of Xiting Kingdom. There is no post station to rest there. There are thousands of miles of yellow sand in places, and some places are covered with ice and snow.How can you stand it?

what.More sinister than here?

Is there such a way in the world?I thought Kai was trying to scare me.

Cao Wei's eyes widened.He couldn't imagine it.Cao Wei served in the palace when he was very young, mainly to accompany the prince.Later, the prince became the emperor, and he became the emperor's number one bodyguard, just like Lu Lu today.The worst place he has ever been to was only the area near Berkshire.The rest are either in Chang'an or Qi. …

In his eyes, the dangerous environment of Xiting Kingdom is already an extremely bad land.

Feed the eagles.Looking at the patriarch who was righteous and awe-inspiring just now, he has changed back to his previous appearance at this moment.Can't help sighing.Patriarch, I never lied to you. This is really not a good opportunity. I don’t know how many brave soldiers died on this road. How can you bear it? Han, please take back your life and don’t go.If you have to send people to trade, you can let King Xiting choose a young and strong one. I think their Taiwei is very good.

Cao Wei fell silent at this moment.Wei Ying clearly saw it.Cao Wei's hands were trembling slightly.

With.

But I have already told the 2 kings of Xiting to go by myself.

Patriarch, don't be impulsive.

Cao Wei lowered his head.After eating, he didn't say anything more.

Soon, merchants gathered again.These merchants did not object to the matter of going to the body poison trade.In this trade, they gained a lot, and they naturally wanted to make another fortune.For them, life is probably not as important as earning money. As long as Lilan is enough, they will go through fire and water, and they will do whatever they want.

Cao Wei got into the car.Liu Qi stood aside helplessly.

Cao Wei looked pale.Yesterday, that high-spirited Marquis of Pingyang had disappeared.Is this the normal Marquis of Pingyang?At this moment, I continue to take deep breaths.With a tangled expression, he kept pinching and releasing his hands, extremely nervous.The dark eye bands proved that he hadn't slept all night.

Liu Qi looked at him and probably had an idea in his mind.

In order to avoid provoking this person, he couldn't help but say.Father Zhong.I thought about it for a long time last night.Now is really not a good time to go to the poison.I don't want to wait any longer.Wait for a while before leaving.The Huns were newly defeated.Those who were expelled made enemies of the merchants.The Northern army has not been cleaned up.It is better to wait for the road to be safe before starting.Otherwise, if the goods are robbed.
Cao Wei's eyes lit up.It seems to have found a life-saving straw.Turning to look at Liu Qi.Look.

He opened his mouth several times.But last.But there was always something stuck in his throat.speechless.

Second father?

Do the expelled Huns dare to approach the area where the Northern Army is located?
Cao Wei asked suddenly.

Liu Qi was taken aback, speechless.

Cao Wei looked ahead.Stretched out his hand.Said loudly.Set off.

Although he yelled this sentence.Indeed, there is no momentum anymore.Maybe it was because of the wind.Maybe because of something else.The voice was out of tune, extremely serious.It might even sound weird.The caravan moved forward slowly.Cao Wei firmly grasped the front wooden frame of the cart.His hands were pinched pale.Stare straight at the road ahead.

Wei Ying's face became serious.he said aloud.only! ! !

Wei Ying waved his whip, and the carriage set off quickly.

Liu Qi looked away.shook his head.Said a little indifferently.Useless work.Get ready to meet him.If it's less than 4000, he has to go back the same way.

only! !

The caravan passed by the poisoned people who were going to Chang'an.These poisoned people looked at the caravan heading towards them in surprise.Everyone would stop from time to time to conduct business talks on the spot.These

Merchants have many translators who master the poisonous language...

And Cao Wei just sat in the carriage.He touched his face.Some asked in fear.How did it get so cold?Have you reached the place where the sky is full of snow?

Wei Ying laughed bitterly.

Patriarch, we have just left Xiting Kingdom for 2 days.What is the difference between here and Xiting Kingdom?

Cao Wei cut her hair, so why did she feel that the weather has become colder?

Walking out from Xiting Kingdom is a piece of sandy soil, but the sandy soil is not hot, the wind is blowing, yellow sand is flying all over the sky, and the sand hits pedestrians like snow and frost.At night, it is even colder and shivering.

Fortunately, there are still some poisoned people walking along the road, in this lonely environment, to comfort everyone.Even if it's just some unknown poisonous people, the two parties will be very happy to meet each other.Seeing people in this no man's land is also something to celebrate.

But for Cao Wei.This is pure torture.

He had never seen a place like it.This is the real uninhabited place.There is little hope of life in sight.Guided by locals, they can occasionally find some oasis springs.But most of the time, they can only drink the water they brought, and the taste of the water is getting harder to swallow.Every time they drink water, it makes the animals uncomfortable, and eating is a big problem, even water can't be swallowed.Those who eat are even more tasteless.

During this time.They also encountered thieves a few times.But these are not the Huns, but the local thieves of the Huns.These people broke the law in the West Qin State, and they took out to be thieves to plunder the small caravans passing by, and faced the caravans carried by Cao Wei.They are not enough to see.Cao Wei was so frightened that he hid in the carriage and shivered. He didn't dare to raise his head after the thief was killed and followed up.

The few times I fell asleep, I woke up screaming in fear.

Finally, Cao Wei really experienced the so-called icy and snowy climate.

When they were about to cross the mountain forest and enter Shendu, ice and snow hit everyone with the strong wind. Cao Wei was wearing several layers of clothes inside and outside, shivering, and his eyebrows were covered with frost. It is very difficult for a carriage to pass here, especially carrying The case of goods and people.Some merchants had to abandon their carriages.Use horses and camels to user.And Cao Wei also got off his horse and walked on foot at this moment.

Wei Yu tied himself and Cao Wei together, braved the wind and snow, and continued to advance with his sword.

Patriarch! !Almost passed.

Ah? ? ?
The wind howled past.Even their voices are suppressed

But as soon as you cross this mountain pass, the situation becomes completely different.Compared with suffering a lot of losses, they finally understood why the poisonous man would rather take a long detour than walk into the wind and snow that seemed to be left behind by them.Cao Wei trembled in fear.When Wei Ying helped him back into the carriage, he still couldn't believe it.

We survived, am I still alive?

Cao Wei stroked his face in horror.

Wei Ying couldn't help laughing out loud.We succeeded, and we were poisoned.

The carriage drove for another 2 days, and finally saw Shendu City in the distance.

The merchants wept with joy.No one knows how much the first group of explorers paid to finally come here. The huge Lilan is waiting for the road from them to be completely opened up from them.

Wei Ying saw the city from a distance, Patriarch, we have arrived.

Patriarch! ?
Wei Ying stopped abruptly and turned his head.

The tired Cao Wei sat tight on the carriage, curled up all over, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.

Wei Ying stretched out his hand, but he didn't detect his breath.
