Chapter 220 - Difficulties in Shu
"Oh, the play!" Extremely dangerous!
The Dao of Shu was more difficult than the blue sky! Silkworm bush and fish teal, how to open the country at a loss! He was forty-eight thousand years old and would not be associated with the people of the Qin Empire! "
The sounds of books being read could be heard from behind! It was actually the famous poem "The Difficulties of Shu" by Li Bai during the Tang Dynasty!
The mountain was abnormally quiet. Naturally, the sound of books being read was abnormally clear and loud!
After hearing the voice, Zhao Chen, Kang An and the others could not help but be startled, but they did not stop, and continued to move forward!
The sounds of reading grew louder and louder. After a while, a young man rushed over from behind!
This young man wore an azure long robe, and his hair was disheveled. In his hand, he held a book!
His walking speed did not seem to be fast, but after a while, he actually arrived beside Zhao Chen and the rest!
Seeing this young man, Kang An and the surrounding guards immediately became vigilant! The path of the Dao of Shu was difficult to tread, yet this young man was able to catch up in such a short period of time. It was evident that he was no ordinary scholar or scholar, but a person with a high status in martial arts!
"Brother, this way please!" The young man with dishevelled hair did not even look at Kang An and the others, he smiled towards Zhao Chen and cupped his hands, and said.
"Please!" Zhao Chen laughed, and said indifferently.
In Zhao Chen's eyes, this young man with dishevelled hair was extremely handsome! Of course, he was different from Liu Guangshi who was handsome. This young man's handsomeness brought about a sense of unruliness and unruliness, and at the same time gave him a scholarly air. Even though it was the first time Zhao Chen had met this young man, he actually felt a sense of closeness to him!
"Brother, you have so many horses, can you give them to me? The next person to go on foot is really exhausted, and my legs are unable to support my strength! " The young man laughed.
"That's easy! Men, give him a horse! " Zhao Chen laughed and said.
Although they only had a dozen or so people, they had more than twenty horses. A guard then took one of the horses and gave it to the young man.
"Is there a problem?" Zhao Chen said.
"The horses that you have bestowed upon us are extraordinary. They have broad bones and strong hooves, this is the female True BMW that is produced in the far north! This Ma Wanjin is hard to get, I never thought that brother would actually be willing to give such a good horse to a mere nobody! " The young man bowed and said.
"It's just a horse, that's nothing! If there is nothing else, we will be leaving first! " Zhao Chen cupped his hands and laughed.
Zhao Chen did not care about the young man at that moment, he galloped his horse forward, with Kang An and a group of guards following behind him!
The young man looked at Zhao Chen's back, and revealed an amused expression, only to hear him muttering to himself: "Strange, who is this person, why are they rushing back to Sichuan at this time? He had thought that he would be very lonely along the way, but now, someone had come to accompany him! If that's the case, then follow them! "
The sky gradually darkened, making the road difficult to travel. Zhao Chen and the others dismounted from their horses and led them forward.
After walking for another hour, everyone finally stopped!
They would rest here and the guards would go hunt! After a while, the guards returned with a small deer on their back! Someone started a fire and roasted the fawn!
After a while, the fragrance of meat came out, Kang An cut off a piece of meat from the little deer's leg and handed it over to Zhao Chen!
Just as Zhao Chen was about to eat the meat, the sounds of reading came from afar once again!
"It is said that the sericulture road is rugged and difficult to traverse. The mountain starts from the face of man and grows by the head of a horse..."
After hearing the voice, Zhao Chen was stunned. He looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a figure leading a horse here.
"Brother, please, I didn't expect you to be here!" The young man came to Zhao Chen's side and bowed, then smiled.
"So you came here with us!" We've just finished cooking. Why don't you have some too? " Zhao Chen said.
"This is what I wish for!" The young man laughed.
Kang An cut another piece of meat and brought it over, the young man took it and started to eat!
The way he ate looked very elegant, while Zhao Chen, Kang An and the rest were eating extremely fast, having a big gulp of food! Zhao Chen, Kang An and the others had stayed in the army for many years.
The young man had only eaten one piece of meat, when he raised his head, Zhao Chen, Kang An and the rest had already finished eating!
The young man was stunned on the spot, then he shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Brother, would you like some wine?" After eating his fill, Zhao Chen took a leather bag and said.
"It can't be better!" When the young man saw the leather bag, he once again revealed a surprised expression, but he quickly smiled and said.
Zhao Chen threw a leather bag over to him as he took the other from a guard's hands. The two leather bags were filled with fine wine, the two of them started drinking together.
"Good wine!" Good wine! Brother's wine is also extraordinary, I wonder where you can buy it from? " the young man asked after drinking a few mouthfuls.
"The servants bought it, I didn't know!" Zhao Chen laughed as he shook his head.
This was the Imperial Wine from the palace, and Zhao Chen did not actually know where it came from! Regarding the enjoyment of eating and drinking, Zhao Chen had never cared about it!
"This is such a good wine, Uncle Wuliang. It feels so good to drink, but it feels so good to drink it in your stomach!" Aren't you guys going to drink a little? " The young man looked at Kang An and the guards around him, passed the leather bag over, and offered it to while borrowing the flowers.
Kang An and the other guards shook their heads. They looked at the young man with extremely indifferent gazes; They were Managed's soldiers, and in order to protect Zhao Chen, they could be considered to be carrying out a military mission! The military's laws were exceptionally strict. Drinking was not allowed during missions!
The more the young man looked at them, the more he felt that these people were somewhat strange, they did not seem like ordinary people from the martial arts world.
"Brother, may I ask for your name?" The young man said after a while.
"I am Zhao Xi!" Zhao Chen laughed and said.
At this moment, he naturally couldn't tell this unfamiliar young man his real name! His name was Zhao Chen, and his pronunciation was the same as his, thinking of the word "Zhao Xi", he decided to name himself "Zhao Xi"!
"The first glimmer of dawn, full of vigor! Good name! "Good name!" The young man praised.
"May I know your esteemed name?" Zhao Chen said.
"I'm Zhang Ziqiu!" The unfamiliar young man said.
"One Autumn Leaf, Zhang Ziqiu, is also a good name!" Zhao Chen followed what he said and laughed.
"Brother, are you heading towards the Chuan Shu?" Zhang Ziqiu said.
"That's right!" Zhao Chen nodded.
"Brother gave me a horse, and tonight I drank brother's wine, you have shown me kindness and righteousness, I want to advise you, don't go to Chuan Shu!" Zhang Ziqiu said.
"Oh? "Why is that?" Zhao Chen said.
"Chuan Shu is in chaos, if you go to Chuan Shu, I'm afraid you won't be able to return!" Zhang Ziqiu drank a mouthful of wine and said slowly.
"What is this chaos?" Zhao Chen said.
"Buddha can't say, can't say!" Zhang Ziqiu smiled and shook his head.
"Since you didn't say anything, I can roughly guess what happened!" Zhao Chen laughed and said.
"Oh?" Zhang Ziqiu's face revealed a surprised expression.
"The mud originates from the primal chaos, the white lotus blooming in this world!" Zhao Chen said indifferently.
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, Zhang Ziqiu was stunned!
"How do you know that?" After a long while, Zhang Ziqiu finally fiercely jumped up and said.
Brother Zhang, sit down! No need to worry! "It seems like Brother Zhang is here for this matter as well?" Zhao Chen said.
"That's right!" "Could it be that Brother Zhao is also from the same sect?" Zhang Ziqiu said.
Zhao Chen laughed, and did not say a word!
"I wonder which sect Brother Zhao is from? From the looks of your subordinates, you don't seem like a martial artist, but a soldier! " Zhang Ziqiu said.
"That's right, I am from the military!" Zhao Chen said.
"It seems like you may not be the same person as me!" Zhang Ziqiu suddenly laughed and said.
"May I know which sect you are from?" Zhao Chen looked at Zhang Ziqiu with some interest.
"I don't mind telling you! I, Zhang Ziqiu, am an upright, upright scholar, and never would lie to others! I come from the north, my master, Guo Yao! " Zhang Ziqiu said.
Kang An and the guards at the side also revealed a shocked expression!
Guo Yao was also a famous figure in history. According to historical records, this person was a "General of the Third Jin Dynasty of the Liao Song Dynasty"! He was originally a member of the East Liao Area, and when the real woman rose up, the Liao Country was not her opponent, thus he had recruited troops from the East Liao Area, established the "resent army", and made the Guo Yao his commander! After that, Song Jin joined forces to attack the Liao Country, who led a hundred thousand resent army s to seek refuge there, and became the Great General of the Song Dynasty! After the destruction of the Liao Country, the Jinguo invaded the Song Dynasty and brought a hundred thousand resent army to seek refuge in the Jinguo. History is called "The Guo Yao, the remnant evildoer of Liao, the fierce rank of Song, the meritorious official of metal. To use the body of an emperor as a blessing in misfortune for the three nations, just like its "!" He alone influenced the direction of the Liao Song and Jin at that time, so his status was extremely important!
Even in his wildest dreams, Zhao Chen would never have thought that he would be able to ask what sect or sect they were from, yet this person said that he was the disciple of a genuine female general's Guo Yao! Could it be that the Guo Yao was related to this matter in Sichuan? Was the Guo Yao also a demon cultivator?
"Seeing the look of shock on your faces, you are indeed not my equal! You must have heard of my master's great name, but you don't know that my master is the current leader of the Devil's Gate, the sect master of the Way of the Annihilation? " Zhang Ziqiu said in amusement.
