Eunuch's professionalism

The sun seldom came out and sprinkled on this barren sandy soil. The current temperature should be over [-] degrees by visual inspection. It is very uncomfortable for a person who is used to living in the Central Plains to be brought to such a dry place where ice and fire alternate. Yes, in order not to drag down the progress of the whole team, Fu Chen endured it even if it was uncomfortable. If there is a good opinion that can be checked now, at least in Li Biantian's team, the good opinion of him has exceeded the passing line and is approaching excellent .

His hair was congealed into lumps, and a black cloth was wrapped around his head, and the originally tender skin inside was also chapped, but Fu Chen's appearance was already much better than that of Ah Yi and the others outside.

As soon as Ah Yi finished speaking, Fu Chen couldn't wait to lift off the heavy cloth. He tore off the black cloth covering his head and looked into the distance. What he saw in the distance was the very simple-looking loess building , This Hushi desert borders four countries, one of which is the Yintu country, drenched by the solar eclipse and rain, like a weather-beaten old man, this is the small fortress country between the Jin country and the Ji country?

Then I heard the sound of "boom boom boom" from a distance, a group of camel caravans and horse caravans flying over the sandy soil, the sound was deafening, as if an unknown catastrophe had come.

Amidst the billowing dust and smoke, one could see a group of murderous people at the head of the row.

Fu Chen's pupils dilated, as if they were coming in their direction?

During the journey of more than a month, this team was also attacked by bandits and robbers many times. From the fact that they didn't have any casualties, we know that Li Biantian's subordinates are extremely powerful.And every time Li Huang refreshed Fu Chen's cognition, he still remembers the first time he encountered being besieged, Li Biantian only gave a few quick and effective orders, and this team of only dozens of people changed various strategies Formation, the moment Li Biantian gave an order, you could see Ah Yi and the others reacting instantly, that aura was the ferocity of clanking iron cavalry, as if on the battlefield, the courage to wince the enemy's head off in an instant, Only when you are on the scene can you feel the strength of the cavalry of the Halberd State. The climate is completely different from that of the Jin State Army. One is like a wheel that has been tired for a long time and is about to rust, and the other is a treasured sword that has never been slack.

But those teams that attacked them had never seen such a large scale before, and now they looked over in darkness.

Li Biantian looked at Fu Chen, and found that although the young man's face was much rougher, but his eyes were more agile, and there seemed to be a touch of crystal-clear luster in Gu Pan's eyes, which made his heart soften. Li Biantian seldom touches this Children of this age group, now thinking that maybe it was really destined, the Shen brothers left and sent a Li Yu.

On the back of Fu Chen's icy hands, there was a kind of warmth that pierced into the heart, as if the pores of his whole body were opened, and it was Li Biantian who patted his hand.

He suppressed the horror in his heart, and looked at Li Biantian with panic in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, where is the usual arrogance?" Li Biantian seemed to be smiling faintly.

Fu Chen stared at Li Biantian, as if he was going to stare him out of a hole.

It attracted Li Biantian's more pleasant chuckle.

Judging from Li Biantian's leisurely reaction, Fu Chen probably guessed that the people here must not be enemies, maybe they are from Yintu Kingdom or from Li Biantian.

The wind and dust were flying all the way, and gradually, the team slowed down when they were a certain distance away from them, and then stopped. The man in the lead raised his hand, and in an instant, everyone pulled the reins and dismounted the horses and camels.

A group of people in black, wearing black-gray armor, reflected the ice-like light under the light.

The leading man was dressed in black clothes, his whole face was wrapped in black cloth, only a pair of enchanting phoenix eyes were exposed, which implied a dark red and violent, which ruined the beauty. There seemed to be something wrapped in his arms. It looks like a person.

But the people inside didn't move at all, as if they were dead, Fu Chen glanced at it, then lowered his gaze.

The leader didn't smile until he saw Li Biantian after the curtain of the carriage was lifted. He handed over the person wrapped in the cloak in his arms to the people around him, and then tore off the black cloth that wrapped himself. It reveals a somewhat yin and evil face, slightly mature, with some crow's feet in the corners of the eyes. Looking at the age of 30, the facial features are [-]% similar to Li Biantian's, but the temperament is completely different. If it is not put together, at first glance Until no one would think that the two were related by blood, he knelt down slowly, bowing down in a standard manner, "Your Majesty is welcome."

"Welcome Your Majesty back!" All the soldiers behind him knelt down and said in unison.

In the soaring arrogance, Li Biantian, who was lined in the sun, was like a god, as if his whole body was covered with golden light. Fu Chen took out a four-wheel chair from the back of the carriage, and now he almost snatched up such personal services. Although Ah Yi and the others usually laughed at Fu Chen, they also knew that this young man had a heart for Li Huang, so they let him go.

He carried Li Biantian from the car to the four-wheel chair, put on a big cloak, covered with a ferret blanket, and stuffed it into the heater. A set of movements was done in one go, and it seemed that he often did it.

Li Yezu saw a newcomer beside his royal brother, a handsome and tall boy in his teens, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Fu Chen suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and he keenly felt a dark and distorted sight enveloped him.

He looked up again but found nothing, so he pushed Li Biantian forward.

It’s all right if you didn’t know the truth before, but now you know, seeing Li Biantian sitting on the four-wheel chair with so much peace of mind, with such weakness, Fu Chen’s eyelids twitched, as if he didn’t see anything: Hehe, the world owes you an Oscar.

Some generals secretly observed Li Biantian regardless of the guilt of looking directly at Shengyan. After confirming that His Majesty was just a little tired and his spirits were still quite good, they all let go of their hearts, as if they had found a spiritual support. It's time to watch.

From the time when Li Bian got out of the car just now, Fu Chen watched all directions with his eyes and ears, and recorded this scene in his heart.

Li Biantian waved his hand at the generals behind Li Yezu, with a teasing smile in his eyes, watching the darkness, "Get up, there is such a big battle, those who don't know think you want to swallow me."

"The ministers absolutely dare not, but I miss His Majesty very much!"

"Hahaha!"

"Your Majesty, Zhe Shachen is waiting."

The team that was originally coming from hell burst into laughter in an instant. The reason why they were so confident and lost their manners in front of the emperor was not because the team was loose in discipline. He would convict or get angry because of such a trivial matter. Li Huang's joke was originally to ease the atmosphere of the team.There are some people in the team who have never seen the Holy Venerable Li Huang, they are about the same age as Fu Chen, and they have just been arranged into the team. At this moment, their eyes are full of splendor, and they look enviously at Fu Chen who can get close to Li Huang .

These teenagers with explosive force value grew up listening to Li Biantian's deeds, and they were completely brainwashed in the barracks. Their eyes are full of loyalty to His Majesty's concept. This time they can be selected into the vanguard team to welcome His Majesty's subdued service After returning home, many people didn't sleep all night.

Seeing that His Majesty was as kind and friendly as the rumors said, they were very excited, and their gazes were about to pierce Fu Chen who was beside him.

Fu Chen: Hehe, a group of heretics.

These too hot eyes were full of envy and jealousy. He lowered his head even more, Li Biantian naturally noticed that Fu Chen was strange, but he was used to it.

Noticing that Fu Chen's footsteps were a little messy, Li Biantian just turned his head and said softly, "Don't be nervous." This little guy was strong on the outside, but he looked like a normal child now.

Fu Chen hummed.

Li Biantian is not a serious emperor. On the contrary, he is quite open-minded, can accommodate various opinions, and is willing to make some harmless jokes with his subordinates and officials. His own personality His charm far surpassed that of anyone Fu Chen had met in Jin before.

Help up Li Yezu, also Li Biantian's fourth brother, Prince Lu of Ji Kingdom.Li Yezu raised a beautiful smile, and a trace of crow's feet revealed his age, but he was still full of charm.

Li Biantian smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, brother, I didn't expect you to come in person this time."

"The emperor has been away for so long, and the prime minister is very worried. When I heard that you were already on the way, I took the initiative to take over the job. Are you so tanned?"

Faced with Li Yezu's teasing, Li Biantian also laughed, "It is indeed a little tanned."

"How did you gain along the way?"

"It's not convenient to talk here, come on, let's talk in the car." Li Biantian was still gentle, but when facing King Lu, his tone was more solemn.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two brothers is quite close, at least on the surface, Fu Chen has heard before that the Lord Lu of Ji Kingdom is cruel by nature, cruel to innocents and loyal, full of evil, violent and unpredictable, and even used to rob A beautiful boy slaughtered a village.

As much as the people of Ji Kingdom love Li Biantian, they hate Li Yezu as much.

Before getting into the car, Fu Chen found that the back of his hand was brushed by Li Yezu who got into the car, and he trembled instinctively.

Seeing that Fu Chen was cautious like a white rabbit, Li Yezu evoked a malicious smile, and moved to Fu Chen's side: "Warm my bed tonight."

Fu Chen lowered his head tremblingly, his cicada-like eyelashes drooped to cover up the murderous look in his eyes.

Li Yezu laughed happily, and then got into the carriage.

No one dared to listen to the conversation between the two brothers, and this huge team also followed at a distance.

Of course it is impossible for Fu Chen to squeeze into the carriage at this moment. He has already arrived in Yintu Country, and the temperature is suitable. This is a typical temperate desert climate, and the temperature during the day is more suitable.

With Ah San's help, he got on a camel.

Ah San usually has a cold face, and he doesn't talk much. He was the one who disliked Fu Chen the most at the beginning, but after getting along along the way, it was Ah San who took care of Fu Chen the most, especially when Fu Chen sometimes In order to warm up, he often asked Ah San for advice. The two of them came and went, and Fu Chen also learned a lot of tricks to quickly defeat the enemy. Ah San saw that Fu Chen was young, and his bones were suitable for martial arts. Gradually became more gentle.

"Can't you, can't you ride with me?" Ah San is the most affectionate to Fu Chen in the digital guard group. Although the words are cold and the expression on his face is cold, but for the digital guard group, this is already Ah San is unprecedentedly gentle.

"I can do it. I won't fall off. Although it's a little different from a horse, I can just get used to it. Thank you, Mr. Ah San." Fu Chen smiled shyly.

Ah San nodded, "When we go back, why don't you follow me."

Before Fu Chen could answer, Ah San was called away by others.At this time, he noticed the person who was tightly wrapped in black cloth by Li Yezu.

At this time, the person inside began to struggle violently, Fu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, it seemed that this person was in a coma before, that's why he was motionless, now that he is awake, he will naturally break free.

Fu Chen suddenly thought of some information about Li Yezu's ancestors. If Li Biantian was more like a restrained emperor, then this elder brother with one mother is completely opposite. It is said that the prince's back garden is comparable to half a palace. There are no taboos between men and women in the backyard, they are all beauties, of course women are the main ones, and it has only been restrained in these years.

It is said that at the most exaggerated time, if some common people in the capital of Jiguo had beautiful children, they would either stay behind closed doors or send them to the countryside for refuge. If Li Biantian hadn't stepped forward to stop them, I am afraid that the current Li Yezu would be even more unscrupulous.While the common people are grateful to Dade, they can't wait to swallow Li Yezu's flesh and bloodthirsty.

I heard that Li Yezu has cultivated himself over the years, but from Fu Chen's point of view, it may be because... he has a higher vision and is more critical.

The person in the head of the black cloth may have struggled too much. The person who replaced Li Yezu couldn't control him at all, and knew that he was Li Yezu's "new favorite", so he didn't dare to make a big move, so he was rejected by that person. The man poked his head out from the black cloth, that face was very familiar, a little baby fat, with a childish brow, of course Fu Chen knew that this man had pushed Shaohua Pond into the pond and threw ice, his bad temper was obvious, he... ...It's the Twelfth Prince Shao Jinyan!

His Royal Highness the Twelve Princes of the Jin Kingdom, on the way to send the fifteenth Prince together with the Eighth Prince to be a hostage, was sent by Shao Huachi to advise Mr. Rong Xian, who trapped the local tribe and was forced to perform a husband and wife ceremony. It takes a year to get out of the tribe.Of course, Fu Chen came up with this idea, without these two stumbling blocks, Shao Huachi could have fewer obstacles in the palace.

Later, the two princes were stranded in a certain part of the northwest, and Emperor Cheng of Jin sent people to come several times, but they could not find any trace of the two princes.

Fu Chen didn't expect to see the Twelve Princes here, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Shao Jinyan seemed extremely angry and frightened. At this time, the roar was mixed with fear, and it sounded in the team, which was very discordant.

Struggling so hard, he suddenly fell off the camel.

Probably because the landing posture was not very good, and when it hit the ground, it screamed in pain.

The movement here naturally aroused the idea ahead. Li Yezu got out of the carriage and looked down at the Twelve Princes rolling around on the ground.

There is a bottomless dark pool in that coquettish gaze, "Chop off a finger to wake him up."

After all, without looking at Shao Jinyan, he got into the carriage.

Hearing Li Yezu's words, Shao Jinyan had no reason not to struggle, it should be said that he struggled even harder.But this time, any general who came here could pick him up like a chicken, and the other soldier didn't even bat an eye, and directly pressed Shao Jinyan to the ground, grabbed him and chopped him down.

With a click, the blood rushed out.

Very standard, no more, no less, chopped off one of Shao Jinyan's little fingers, and that finger was completely separated from his body.

Shao Jinyan yelled out in pain, and then passed out from the pain.

Fu Chen watched him being dragged away like a dead dog.

But at this moment, the team that was peaceful before seemed extraordinarily silent, just watching this scene quietly, no one stopped them, or showed even a trace of pity, this kind of silence revealed a kind of awe that Fu Chen respected. iron blood.

When they arrived at the place where Danhu City was guarding the city, the soldiers on the city saw that it was the badge of the fourth prince of the Ji Kingdom, and hurriedly opened the city gate, and welcomed the team into the city with great fear. Danhu City was just a border city of the Yintu Kingdom. Originally, it was impossible for a team like the Halberd Kingdom to enter the border of other countries in such a grand manner.

But now the Yintu Kingdom has secretly colluded with the Halberd Kingdom, most of the time it is equivalent to a fortress and eyeliner for the Halberd Kingdom to control the Jin Kingdom, and it can be pushed out to block the gun at any time. , Fu Chen still remembers that a few years ago, Princess Yintu and Li Biantian got married.

Of course, most of the soldiers were only stationed outside the city, and the Li brothers only brought two teams in for a short camp.

On the bright side, Li Biantian is not in the team, this is just the hunting team outside the city of the Fourth Prince Li Yezu.

As for Li Yezu, he loves this kind of ostentation, and it is not the first time he has acted recklessly like this. Some generals in Danhu City were greeted in advance by their superiors, and they did not prevent the Fourth Prince from entering the capital to show their respect for Ji Kingdom. loyalty.

Along the way, Fu Chen combined the materials he had read and the conversations with Li Biantian, and got a lot about the status quo of these countries in the Western Regions.

There are about dozens of small countries like the Yintu Kingdom in the entire western plate of the Jin Kingdom, collectively called the 48 Western Regions, but now there are about [-] left, and many of them have been incorporated by the Ji Kingdom in the past ten years. up.Most of the rest have established diplomatic relations with the Jin State. The population is not large, and they are relatively isolated. Economically and culturally, they are all based on the Jin State’s horse head. Of course, this situation is slowly evolving.

For example, the actual population of the Yintu Kingdom may not be one percent of that of the Jin Kingdom. Even the culture, language, clothing, and etiquette were passed down from the Central Plains and then improved. The inheritance has gradually evolved over the past few hundred years. As for the Yintu culture seen today, it can be said that the Central Plains culture has had a profound influence on these 48 domains.

After entering the city gate, Danhu City was more... backward than Fu Chen imagined.I heard from You Qizheng that the city of Danhu was repaired by Ji Kingdom, but in Fu Chen's eyes, it is still quite barren and dilapidated, with loess houses, people in ragged clothes, and many beggars and traders on the street. Not many, but Shakyamuni monks can be seen everywhere, they seem to be very respected here, and most people will avoid these monks to avoid collisions.

Fu Chen's heart shuddered, the Shakyamuni religion... Isn't that the sect culture of Ji Kingdom?

If the culture of the Central Plains only brought prosperity and heritage to these border countries, then a sect is equivalent to spiritual brainwashing.

With the appearance of angry horses in fresh clothes like the Li family's team, many people on the street curled up in fear, but there were also extremely hungry people who saw their costumes and rushed up to eat. crazy.

After all, this is the people of Yintu Kingdom, even if they are beggars, Li's team did not drive them away, this is the rule of Li Biantian's soldiers.

So these beggars disrupted the team's rhythm to a certain extent.

Fu Chen had already got off his camel at this time, and several beggars also rushed towards him, and one of the female beggars kept rubbing against him.

Her dirty face was full of mud, but she could still vaguely see a bit of beauty.

Fu Chen frowned, "You..."

The beggar raised her head.

... Qingran?
