[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

The more we got to the border of the Liu Kingdom, the more we could clearly feel an overly optimistic atmosphere among the people, but instead, there was no sense of tension about a storm.

It is true that he never believed in the fact that the country is about to fall until the last moment, Zhaoyang shook his head, and then looked back hastily, as if he had already thrown off his pursuers.

This month, she traveled during the day and could only sleep in the tomb hall at night, and finally arrived in Wucheng after hiding.Fortunately, winter had not yet entered, otherwise she would have frozen to death on the street.As long as she takes a boat from Wucheng to Xiakuncheng, she doesn't have to worry about chasing soldiers.

Xiakun City is located in the Yellow Sea. It is not as close to the shore as Kuncheng in Yan State and Gancheng in Gong State. On the contrary, it is very far away.Generally, boatmen will detour along the coast to Gongguo or Yanguo for safety, and then go to Xiakuncheng.On the surface, Xiakun City belongs to the Liu Kingdom, but in fact it is basically in a state of self-control.It is also an intermediate station between Kuncheng and Gancheng, with a lot of people and a mixed bag.Coupled with the fact that there are more and more monsters now, the officials have no spare time to catch a small prisoner.As for Yan Guo and Gong Guo, they didn't dare to go, because the arrest warrants were posted all over the place.She can only stay in Xiakun City until her arrest warrants are piled up in ashes before going to other countries.

With such a plan, Zhaoyang sneaked into the pier with the crowd, and slipped into a boat bound for Xiakun City.This is a cargo ship, Zhaoyang originally wanted to hide in the cargo warehouse at the bottom of the ship and sneak across.Unfortunately, he was caught by the boatman before entering the warehouse.

"That kid in front, stop for me."

There was no one around, so I didn’t need to think about calling myself again. Zhaoyang turned around with a harmless smile and said, “Brother, help me out. I want to go to Xiakun City. Can you accommodate me?” Some coins were stuffed into the hands of the boatman.

The boatman in front of him was of medium build, with a round face, and a pair of squinting eyes. He weighed the coin in his hand, and said with a drawn-out voice, "I'm afraid it's not enough, girl, you're disguised as a man, yes?" Because someone is chasing you again."

Zhaoyang is petite, dressed in men's clothing, he looks like an immature white-faced boy, few people can recognize him at a glance.What a treacherous and cunning person, Zhaoyang thought in his heart, but still smiling, he almost stuffed all the money in the purse into the hands of the boatman: "This is all my money, please do me a favor, I am a girl It's not easy at home."

"That's about the same." The boatman counted the coins in his hand and nodded with satisfaction, "You're lucky, this is the only boat bound for Xiakun City today, now there are monsters appearing on the sea, and everyone doesn't want to go there far away."

Zhaoyang responded with an apologetic smile, "Thank you so much."

It was a blessing in disguise that Zhaoyang didn't have to stay in the dark and damp warehouse, but could sit on the plywood and enjoy the sea breeze, enjoying the magnificent scene of the sea.But when he thought that he was penniless now, and he didn't know how long he could last in Xiakun City, Zhaoyang's mood sank again.

In the previous life, Zhaoyang was born in a family that was not very wealthy, but he had no worries about food and clothing, and was able to buy a few luxury items occasionally. In the past 20 years, apart from studying in school, she just stayed at home, stretched out her clothes and opened her mouth, and lived a carefree life.Even in this world, she became an orphan, but she never had to worry about food and clothing.Now that I am out alone, I realize that life is not easy.

But no matter what, we must live on. The bow of the boat is naturally straight, and there will always be a way. Zhaoyang cheers himself up silently.

The bow of the boat cut through the sea, and the waves slapped the hull and rushed backwards.Going around the coast to Yanguo, I didn't encounter any monsters after driving for a few days, and arrived at the small town on the edge of Yanguo safely.The faces of the crew members are all smiling, at least for a few days there will be no more danger. After all, Yanguo is a big country that has been governing the country for more than 500 years.

"Dong dong" someone knocked on the door twice, and then said outside the door: "Miss Yuye, we have arrived in the country of Yan, and we have to rest for a while, and the boat will leave in the evening. If you have anything to buy, you can go down now and have a look. "

In the past few days, Zhaoyang and the crew have been doing well, and if there is anything, someone will be willing to report it.

"Understood, thank you." Zhaoyang replied.

The footsteps outside the door faded away, Zhaoyang got off the bed, put on his coat, took up his sword and went out. She couldn't go to the street and could only look at Yan Guo from the plywood of the boat.

When she stood on the plywood and saw Yan Guo, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

The first thing that comes into view is the towering city wall, the city gate stands in the middle, the vermilion pillars are erected above the city gate, and there is a small door in the middle. There are two big characters of "Hecheng".Across the city wall and looking inside, there are rows of pavilions and houses, green porcelain tiles, and vermilion lacquered pillars, all neatly located in the town.Looking from the city gate, there are bustling storefronts on both sides of the street, and the sound of selling is one after another.

It’s just a small town on the edge of the Yan Kingdom, and it can be so prosperous. In the past, I just heard about the grand occasion of the Yan Country. Now, seeing it with my own eyes, I really have to admire the King of Yan.Yan Country does not have special products such as ores like Thailand, and some are only farming.

Unexpectedly, this level can be achieved only by farming and business. It can be seen that the Yan King is not ordinary. I really want to see this Yan King who has ruled the world for more than 500 years. Zhaoyang is fascinated by the scene in front of him.

It wasn't until the sunset and the boat drifted away that she realized that she had stood there all afternoon unknowingly.

"Miss Yuye, dinner is ready." A shout came from behind, Zhaoyang took a last look at Yan Guo, who had already reached the end of his sight, and replied, "Come here, come here."

The center of the world is the Yellow Sea.

This vast land, comparable to a country, is a waterless ocean, a land where demons are domineering, neither belongs to humans nor to gods, but the five mountains in the middle of the Yellow Sea are the courtyards of the Queen Mother of the West and other gods.

Zhaoyang remembered that Shaoxue’s mentor once said so.

The Yellow Sea is surrounded by Mount Kumgang, on which the mountain peaks stand like fangs. From a distance, the nearly vertical steep cliffs continue to extend upward and connect into one, and finally sink into the huge mountain range. Point to the sky.

When driving closer, the sight of the mountain has long been out of sight, and only a misty dark blue area can be seen. The sky and the earth seem to be separated into two halves by a huge screen.

When the boat docked, I looked straight south along the avenue, and I could vaguely see the appearance of the city.Zhaoyang got off the boat, said goodbye, and ran directly to the nearby city.On the shore of the Yellow Sea, if you can't find a place to stay at night, it's like saying to the monster, come and eat me, come and eat me.

Fortunately, I still have a little money with me, which is enough to stay in the dormitory for one night.After running around for a whole day, he was really tired. After washing up, Zhaoyang lay down on the bed early and fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, it was already the morning of the next day.

It's not easy to find a job in this world right now. Even in this world where men and women are considered very equal, few people are willing to hire a girl.Even if he dressed up as a boy and showed off his archery skills, as a staff, it was not as reliable as a tall and mighty adult man.

There are also people who are willing to accept Zhaoyang as a family member, but the family member is said to be a servant, but in fact it is a slave who has signed a death contract. No longer belonging to any country, this is something Zhaoyang will never do.

Zhaoyang, who was rejected by several companies in a row, walked down the street with his head down. He no longer had enough money to live in a dormitory. Sleeping on the street was always in danger of being attacked by demons.Life was more difficult than imagined, so Zhaoyang found a random place to sit down and took out dry food from the package.While gnawing hard steamed buns, he looked up at the sky.Because of the existence of Mount Kumgang, in the cities of the Yellow Sea, the nights are longer than the days, and the sky has gradually darkened. She had to find a hidden building in the city to spend the night.The so-called Tucheng is a building used to avoid monsters, which can be seen everywhere in Xiakun City.

At this time, not far away, several grown men sitting by the window of the dormitory were looking at Zhaoyang, and after Zhaoyang left, they started discussing aloud.

"A little girl, I'm afraid I can't do it." One of them shook his head, "Not everyone has the guts to go to the Yellow Sea, and besides, wouldn't it be a burden to take her with you? Yixin, what do you think?"

"You have all seen her archery skills. None of us can reach such a level." A tall man named Yixin, with well-defined and deep features, replied, "As long as you do this job , we will no longer have to enter the Yellow Sea. As for whether we dare or not, there is nothing that people can't do when they are in a desperate situation."

"Let's do this, Church, don't worry too much." The remaining one said out loud.

"Then do it."

A few days later, Zhaoyang ran out of money and had almost enough dry food.When she was at a loss, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder. She quickly grasped the hilt of the sword and turned her head vigilantly. There were three strange men standing in front of her. What can I do?" There are many villains in Xiakun City, and she just learned it yesterday, so she has to be careful.

"My name is Yixin, these two are Qiu Ji and Shanquan." Yixin pointed to the two people beside him and introduced, and then asked, "Are you afraid of death?"

Zhaoyang froze for a moment, and quickly realized: "Scared!"

"Would you like to go to the Yellow Sea?"

"Go!" Without the slightest hesitation, Zhaoyang replied, it is better to die in the Yellow Sea than to live in a family.

"It will be the autumn solstice in a few days, and the Lingkun Gate will open at that time, so you can go to the Yellow Sea with us." Yixin took out a money bag from his pocket and gave it to Zhaoyang, "This is the deposit, if you live Come out, there will be half of the order."

The only people who want to enter the Yellow Sea where demons are domineering are the people of Huangzhu. Now there is no yellow flag raised on Penglai Mountain. Zhaoyang asked uncertainly: "The people of Huangzhu?"

"Little girl, you guessed it right, we are the Zhu family." Shanquan smiled at her.

Zhaoyang gasped: "Corpse Hunter!?"
