Chapter 2 On the Road
The next morning, Xu Chong woke up early, washed his face with stream water, picked some wild fruits and ate them randomly, and sat on the stone to look at the plain silk. At a glance, it turned out that the complicated lines on the silk were a map, which detailed the journey to the Wuliu Xianpai.
The Daliang Dynasty set up two large states in northern Serbia, one is Liaozhou, and the other is Suzhou in northern Liaozhou. These two prefectures are vast and sparsely populated. In recent years, although the imperial court has been migrating people from the Central Plains to here, they are still much more desolate than the Central Plains.
The Wuliu Xianpai is located in Wuliu Mountain in Suzhou, which is a branch of the Changbai Mountains. It's about 1,300 miles from here to Wuliu Mountain, which is really not close.
Xu Chong looked at the map and put away the silk. A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. More than 1,300 miles was really not close. What's more, the north of Serbia was no better than the Central Plains. He was a little worried about whether he could reach Wuliu Mountain safely. He held a small axe that looked simple and rough in his hand.
The handle of the little axe is tied with a string of unknown material, which is extremely tough. He once cut it with scissors when he was a child, but there was no trace on the string.
He didn't know where the little axe came from. He only remembered that the axe had been hanging around his neck and never left. The small axe itself is nothing special, just like a string. I don't know what material it is. It looks like a stone, but it feels as warm as jade.
Although it seems useless and worthless, Xu Chong has regarded this little axe as his partner for many years. As long as he encounters something annoying, embarrassing and hesitating, he will hold it in his hand to play with.
After a while, Xu Chong took a long breath and his eyes became firm: "Anyway, you have to try it. I'm not young, and I can't always be a book boy! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a vain life?"
The idea has been made, and Xu has taken a big step forward. Shortly after he left, a group of knights came, led by a beautiful woman. The woman looked at the traces of fire left in the valley and was sad...
Although the winter in the north is bitter and cold, it is in the middle of summer, and it is also very hot.
On a quiet dirt road, Laohan Zhang sat in front of the teahouse and looked back and forth, wiping the sweat on his forehead with his cuffs from time to time.
"I said boss, don't look at it. It's been almost a day, and there is not even a person. If you want me to say, let's go home and rest as soon as possible!"
A 20-year-old boy sat in the teahouse with a broken fan in his hand and shouted carelessly.
Old Zhang turned his head and stared at the clerk and said, "Li Erzi, you are lazy. Don't sit there and not work. I have to pay you for nothing. You wipe the tables and stools well, and it's comfortable to see when people come.
Li Erzi heard what was muttering in his mouth and began to wipe the table with a rag reluctantly.
At this time, a figure appeared from the south from far away and was walking this way slowly. Old man Zhang looked happy and said to Li Erzi with a smile, "Erzi, don't you think the guests are here?"
Li Erzi stretched out his head and looked at it and became happy: "Boss, we can finally open it now, and it's not in vain, haha."
"Yes, yes, it hasn't opened for three days in a row. If we don't open it again, we will have to drink the northwest wind!"
The dirt road was very straight and long, and the man walked to the teahouse after a long time. At a glance, Mr. Zhang saw that this man was of medium height, slightly fat, and not good-looking. The clothes were originally made of earth and gray cloth, which were covered with dust, and the clothes were also quite ragged. It can be seen that this person should have driven a short road, and the road was not very smooth.
This person is Xu Chong. He walked for nearly two months and finally got here from Liaozhou. According to the map, it should not be far from Liuxia Town, and Liuxia Town should be less than 40 miles away from Wuliu Mountain.
He really suffered a lot along the way. He not only encountered wild boars, wolves and other beasts many times, but also was kidnapped by a group of bandits outside Fuyuan City.
At that time, it was at night, and the bandits did not know what medicine they had taken wrong. They regarded such a standard poor man as the second son outside Zhao in Fuyuan City. At least, he declared that he was just a passer-by, but the bandits just didn't believe it. There was a dog-headed military master among the bandits who was the most angry and firmly believed that he was the second prince. Son, I'm playing with the white dragon fish suit.
In the end, he was forced to write a letter to Zhao Yuanwai for ransom, and then the bandits sent a man to deliver the letter, and the rest went to drink the celebration wine at the suggestion of the dog-headed military division. Unexpectedly, no one was left to look at him, so he ran away when the bandits were drunk.
Fortunately, the bandits did not search him, did not abuse him, or even tie him up, and he was lucky to drink a cup of celebration wine. This is also the idea of the dog-headed military division, saying that he should treat prisoners preferentially, have a good relationship, and make long-term plans for the future.
Regarding this dog-headed military division, those bandits are admirable, and even if they think about it after Xu Chongshi, they have to say the word "fu".
