Chapter 108 0 Kuafu's Country

This time the three princes and others entered Kuafu Country, and saw that the rest of the mainland was in golden autumn, but Kuafu Country was already in the late autumn and early winter, and the weather turned colder. The further north we traveled, the lower the temperature.Although the country is densely forested, most of them are hardy plants such as pines and cypresses.What's more, in the place where the mountains are high and cold, it is already snowing at night and snowing in the daytime, and you can see the scene of green pines bearing jade stamens and strong cypresses hanging with silver flowers everywhere.

The third prince walked in a hurry and did not bring warm clothes.It snowed heavily when entering the country. In desperation, they had to trade fur clothes with the local residents of Kuafu to keep out the cold.However, Kuafu's country is not the same as other countries, but a country of giants. The clothes and utensils used are different from those used by ordinary people.At first, I wanted to trade gold and silver to buy it, but unexpectedly, I heard that the boasting father said that the country is so cold here, there is a lack of food and materials, how can the gold and silver money be used, and after repeated negotiations, the people of the country will not exchange it.Fortunately, a man from Kuafu later discovered that the iron kettle and cooking pot used by the third prince and others to make rice was about the same size as the bowls and plates used by his own family, and it was lighter and more durable than his own stone bowls and plates, so he agreed to exchange this cooking pot Some scraps of leather were used for the third prince, Yunyong, to make leather jackets to keep out the cold.

When the matter of clothes was settled, the third prince and a group of Xiaoyang people continued to go northward, heading for the capital of Jicheng.After traveling for more than a month, the group finally arrived at the outskirts of Jicheng.This time everyone stopped here, looking at the stone city gate of Jicheng from a distance, towering and towering, under the gate, people from Kuafu country came in and out.The Fire-weary countryman who led the crowd to go to his relatives took out a roll of sheepskin from his body. It is said that this is a letter from his relatives, which marked the location of his home. The Fire-weary countryman looked at the sheepskin over and over for a while, Knowing that his relatives were living in Jicheng, they all entered the city.

When his group stood under the gate, he felt that he was as insignificant as an ant, but the gate was as high as a dome.When walking, you need to be careful to avoid it, lest if you are not careful, you will be reduced to the mud under the giant's feet.

As soon as I got here, I saw that people from the country who hated the fire came out of the city together, dragging their families, driving carts and goods, the third prince and the others were very puzzled when they saw this, and they were about to step forward to ask, when they saw one of them A person from the Fire Country came to this place, and chatted to this person from the Fire Country for a while.

Seeing this, Yun Yong immediately whispered to the third prince: "Your Highness, do you know what they are talking about?"

But the third prince frowned and listened, and answered after a long while: "I don't fully understand, probably because something happened to Kuafu's country, and Jicheng no longer welcomes people from Xiaoyang and people who hate fire to live in it. There are no Xiaoyang people living in the Huo Nation, and the Huo Nation is also afraid of being implicated, and is waiting to move his family, asking why we came to Jicheng at this time..."

It was only after Yun Yong heard the words that he understood, and when he saw this person from the Huo country explaining to the other party, the other party only left a sentence of "Do it yourself, take care" and then left.Then a group of people entered Jicheng with anxiety.

Wander around the city for a while, and find the location shown on the sheepskin in the southwest of the city.However, when everyone turned to this place, the tall and majestic stone houses on the side of the road greeted the eyes, covering all the surrounding houses.Under the eaves, there is a wooden signboard with the four seal characters "Golden Scattered" written on it. Only then can we know that this is the place where Jicheng made weapons.Because the country of Kuafu is located in a dense forest, and the climate is too cold, it is not suitable for farming, so most of the people in the country make a living by hunting, and bows and crossbows are necessary for every household, so the weapon forging shop was merged with the market hall. This is the most prosperous place in Jicheng.

This time, before approaching the weapon shop, he could see from a distance at the head of the gilded scattered door, leaning on a woman from the Kuafu clan, wearing a fur cloak, although her complexion was dark, it was difficult to hide her dignified and beautiful features.The hands are busy, weaving a brocade ring, with animal bones as the frame and feathers as decorations.Seeing the woman's focused expression and the smile flowing in her eyes, the third prince saw this scene, and thought that although this brocade ring was very different from his own country, which regarded gold, silver and jade rings as beautiful, it was also unique.

I saw the woman was buried in her work, and another woman walked by and said to the woman: "Who would have expected that the No. [-] blacksmith shop in Jicheng would also be shut down. This forging craft is the first A good blacksmith is also ingenious on the wedding dress..."

After the woman heard these words, a little bit of shame appeared on her face, she hastily lowered her head, and replied: "What nonsense..."

The new woman said again: "Who would have thought that this day when the gilded and scattered proprietress who is as powerful as a man can be ashamed, it's really strange..." Then she changed the subject, "But let's talk It's not hard to understand, after all, getting married is our wife's top priority, and who can take it to heart? What's more, you and Na Lizhen are a highly anticipated husband and wife, the second warrior in the country and the first in Jicheng It is a great joy for the blacksmith to tie the knot, and even the lord of the country has taken care of you two, so it is no wonder that you turned off the fire and thanked guests behind closed doors..."

The proprietress buried her head and continued with her work, while casually listening to the woman's chatter, she suddenly remembered something, interrupted the woman's words and asked: "Speaking of Azhen, Ayao, have you done anything in recent days?" Have you seen Ah Zhen? I haven't seen him for a few days..."

As soon as Liyao heard this, she became very angry, and said to him angrily: "You have never met Ah Zhen, how can I see him? Speaking of which, the bridegroom-to-be is also very different, Mr. Marriage is coming soon, but I ran away and disappeared..."

Na Liyao was still nagging, but the proprietress unconsciously stopped her work, looking preoccupied.The third prince was paying attention to the words of the two of them from the side. Unexpectedly, at this time, a group of people who lead the way have found their target and came to inform the third prince.The relatives of the fire-hating country were living near the gilded patch, not far from here, only hidden by the large storefront of the weapon shop, so it was hard to see.

Their call attracted the attention of the proprietress who was chatting next to the weapon shop. She just saw the foreign man staying here, and then she bent down slightly, as if casting a shadow, facing the third prince and others, like a mountain top , asked: "You are foreigners, what are you doing here at such a time?"

When the leader of the fire-weary nation asked this question, Fang used the common language he had learned from the third prince to answer jerky: "I am here to seek refuge with my relatives. He left this letter to guide me to come here..." Then he pointed to a row of unremarkable small houses behind the weapons shop and continued, "It is in that area as shown on the sheepskin, but now it is empty, and there is no word left in the house. I don't know where it went. Since Ma'am is a person here, do you know the whereabouts of the people who live here?"

When the woman heard the words, she looked up at the direction the fire-hating countryman was pointing, and replied: "Moved away, since what happened..."

After the third prince listened from the sidelines, he was keenly aware of the strangeness in the woman's words, and immediately asked: "Madam proprietress, can you tell me what 'that matter' is?"

But this time before the proprietress could answer, I felt the earth trembled, making people almost unable to stand still, and the fire-hating countrymen who were with the third prince were all staggered to and fro.Then I heard the sound of footsteps not far away, the sound was so loud that it sounded like thunder to my ears.The third prince intuited that this was the arrival of a group of Kuafu countrymen, and at the same time saw the proprietress standing up awkwardly.

Sure enough, a group of Kuafu soldiers in rattan armor came here, stopped in front of the crowd, and said: "The lord received a report from the guards of the city that some people from Xiaoyang entered Jicheng, so he ordered me When the suspect is brought to the lord, the lord wants to interrogate himself."

This time, the third prince and the others didn't know what happened, and they didn't have time to defend themselves, so they heard the landlady speak first and said, "Captain Zuo, is there a misunderstanding here? Suspects?..."

After hearing this, Captain Zuo snorted coldly and said: "It's just that the matter between you and Lizhen should be taken care of by the lord, and this time, don't ask and interfere with the major affairs of the country. If you have that leisure, you can think about it." My marriage is good, and it is said that Li Zhen has not seen anyone in the past few days..." After speaking, the Zuo Duwei waved his hand and ordered, "Take him away!"

Just at this time, Yun Yong suddenly drew out his halberd, and with a flash, he evaded the arrest of the giant of Kuafu's country, jumped to the side, and said loudly: "No matter what country is in the mainland, you must not lose a single word." ! When I first arrived, your country arrested people indiscriminately. What’s the reason? This is how your country treats guests?!”

The Zuo Duwei heard the words and said: "Our country has always treated foreigners with courtesy, and everyone knows it. If you and other people from other countries did not commit serious crimes in our country, how could we behave like this? What's more, you and others in the group , and the people from the Xiaoyang country are even more unforgivable! This time, we would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go..."

After Yun Yong heard this, he said: "How can this be reasonable? There is still a king's law in your country? Even if a person from a foreign country is guilty, he should be arrested according to the facts. If the target is targeted, how can he be arrested indiscriminately and cause innocent people to suffer?..." Let it go, Yun Yong held the painting halberd in his hand, and put on a posture, as if he wanted to fight to the death with Zuo Duwei and others.

The Zuo Duwei didn't answer when he saw this, but he waved to Yun Yong. Seeing Zuo Duwei's provocation, Yun Yong felt angry, and then threw the painting halberd a few times, facing the opponent who was much taller than himself. Captain Zuo went up to him.Unexpectedly, Captain Zuo would not dodge or dodge. Seeing Yun Yong attacking, he just waved a pair of giant palms, and Yun Yong saw black clouds pressing down on the city above his head. In the blink of an eye, he was imprisoned by those giant palms, unable to move.

The Zuo Duwei grinned and said: "Boy, I thought you had great abilities, but you are just like an ant, crushing you is like crushing a bug..."

After seeing this scene, the third prince on the side walked up to the Zuo Duwei, cupped his hands and begged for mercy: "Master Zuo Duwei, please calm down, your lord just said that this time is to interrogate people of foreign races, so he asked us to go to the country to meet him." Lord, we are newcomers, we have always been law-abiding, and we are not afraid of proving our innocence in front of the sovereign! Please forgive me and let Yun Yong go! If your lord delays official duties because of this, the loss outweighs the gain..."

Zuo Duwei heard what the third prince said was polite and reasonable, and the anger in his heart calmed down a bit, and he said: "Yes, you are wise." Then he released his two palms, and Yun Yong fell to the ground from mid-air.

The third prince stepped forward to support Yun Yong, while Yun Yong gasped and said: "Thank you Your Highness for saving me, it's really unreasonable to brag about my father."

The third prince said in a low voice: "As long as you and I know our innocence, we are not afraid to go to the lord to confront the reason, and there is no need to conflict with these officers and soldiers here. After all, you and I have come here to ask for others, and the business is important."

Afterwards, they only listened to Captain Zuo's order, and the third prince and his party followed Captain Zuo to the palace located in the center of Jicheng.
