The dynasty's envoys left Shouan, crossed the river, passed through Youping County, and arrived at Luyun County...

There was a lot of fanfare and stops along the way, and the speed was not very fast.

With the help of time on the road, Chen Youniao devoted himself to practice, and the flying sword finally took shape and gradually showed its edge.

You must know that what he learned was only the art of sacrificial training, not the art of controlling a sword.

In other words, how to control the flying sword mainly depends on self-understanding and combining the swordsmanship previously mastered to find a way.

This requires time to soak in and a suitable and clean environment.

If you stay in the capital or return to your hometown in fine clothes, you will definitely have all kinds of entertainment and disturbances. When you go to a feudal country as an envoy, the mountains and roads are long, so you can choose to stay in the carriage most of the time, and you can practice with peace of mind.

As for the various official receptions and interactions on the road, they were basically taken care of by the pushy Mr. Luo.

In addition to the requirements for the environment and mentality, cultivation is also inseparable from the support of food resources.

In this regard, the spirit wine and monster meat presented by Hu Ning was definitely a timely help and helped a lot.

Chen Youniao and Huamei have a good rapport, but Huzi Ning is not bad at all. He can always understand Chen Youniao's situation, and then promptly deliver what he needs... It can only be said that Bingxue is smart and a close confidant.

Because of this, Chen Youniao felt strange in his heart. In fact, he had doubted the other person's gender more than once, but when he was in Haidai County, he hugged and touched her, but he really couldn't find anything special about her.

Unless Hu Ning practices some special secret techniques to hide them.

This is quite possible.

Chen Youniao hoped that this would be the case, so as not to confuse yin and yang and mess up his temper.

Regardless of whether it is monster meat or spiritual bone wine, it contains rich spiritual energy, which can just make up for the loss. Otherwise, just sacrificing it into a flying sword would be enough for Chen Youniao to rest. Where would there be any spare energy to control the sword?

However, after eating and drinking all the way, the monster meat has been exhausted, and most of the spirit bone wine is left. I drank it sparingly and left it for Huamei.

Putting these things on your own carriage when you set off is like turning on a small stove. Needless to say, the spiritual wine is put in a gourd for easy portability. The meat of the spiritual beast itself has already been processed, roasted with salt, and cut with a knife when eating. That’s it, no cooking required.

Regarding his daily diet, Chen Youniao behaved like ordinary people so as not to arouse suspicion. Moreover, the food provided by the team was quite good and he ate it carefully.

Lao Qin and the others ate very happily, and Guo Yuanming was full of praise. He deeply felt the deliciousness of the public meal and strengthened his determination to participate in the next imperial examination.

The procession of honor guards was unobstructed, and wherever they went, the hospitality was warm and welcoming, making Luo Shilang smile. He just came to enjoy it. But Chen Youniao didn't think so. No matter what, it would not be a bad thing to try to improve one's physical strength.

On this trip as an envoy to the vassal states, he first went to Zhongshan Kingdom and then to Fumeng Kingdom.

According to intelligence, the two major vassal states formed an alliance, with Fumeng State being the larger one and Zhongshan State acting as the younger brother.

Therefore, Luo Shilang vowed that as long as Fu Meng Kingdom was defeated, Zhongshan Kingdom would have nothing to say.

Chen Youniao has his own ideas and plans, but he has not expressed them, which is not enough for outsiders. Luo Shilang is not a suitable person to discuss with, and Qiu Duwei is even less suitable. According to his words, he leads the Shenjia Army to be responsible for the protection and safety Problems, other things don't get involved.

Chen Youniao had doubts because Shilang Luo had warned him in private that Qiu Zhengxi was surrounded by people from Ouchi.

Ouchi, the full name of Ouchi Police Factory, also known as "Inner Factory", is completely under the command of the emperor. The Inner Factory and the Divine Forbidden Army are the emperor's right-hand men. They have always been full of mystery. They have special privileges and can even

Cut first and play later.

Regarding this kind of secret service, Chen Youniao is familiar with it. It can fit in well with the historical dynasties of time and space, but there are differences in some aspects.

The inner factory personnel of the Dayin Dynasty were basically eunuchs, and all of them were masters, so they were called "big inner masters".

When Qi Jian Xia entered the palace to assassinate him, he was injured by an old eunuch from Ouchi.

Such a comparison shows the horror of the Ouchi Police Factory.

Although Qi Jianxia could not use Yuan Shen Dao in the Forbidden City, she was a master of swordsmanship. She had reached the inhuman state long ago, but she still received a five-poison finger. This shows how powerful the old eunuch was.

Just as the old saying goes: There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

The top figures in secular martial arts are never among the people, but in the palace. Those so-called "heroes" who are famous in the world of martial arts seem to be touted. It is no wonder that after the experience, Lao Tan's mentality was unbalanced and he felt that his defenses were broken.

The inner factory has always been secretive and accustomed to hiding behind the scenes. They went on missions with the team, but their identities were not revealed.

Chen Youniao couldn't go to the team to pick people out. It was pointless. It was enough to know that it was happening. Ouchi accompanied him, and it was nothing more than supervision and observation.

He just concentrates on practicing his sword.

When I returned to Luyun County, it was already summer and the sun was scorching.

According to the planned itinerary, the envoy group rested in the city for a day and then set off to enter Zhongshan Kingdom.

On a summer night, the sky is full of stars and moon.

In the room, Chen Youniao sat there and looked at a map.

This is a map of the Fumeng Kingdom and the Zhongshan Kingdom. The depiction is relatively rough, but it is the best that can be obtained.

As he approached the vassal state, Chen Youniao began to collect a large amount of relevant information, but the results disappointed him. Whether it was the Fumeng Kingdom, the Zhongshan Kingdom, or even the destroyed Qingqiu Kingdom, there was very little information about them.

.Most of what I can see and hear is that monsters are rampant in the domain, and it is a taboo place, and strangers should not approach it...

Many words seem to describe not a vassal state, but a forbidden area full of strange things.

When Chen Youniao came out of Xianyi Town and passed by Sanchuan Town, he heard a lot.

However, as someone who has been to the vassal state, Luo Shilang's lecture is another story.

This creates a contradiction, just like Rashomon.

Chen Youniao prefers to understand it as "a pony crossing the river". To put it bluntly, if you don't go there and take a look, you won't know the truth.

But before you go, if you know more about it, you will have a better grasp.

It was hard to get the map, but after reading it, it was not very helpful. It even aroused new doubts and felt that the description above was quite distorted.

There is no way, in the age of information congestion, not to mention the map of the country, even a county or a city is difficult to explore.

Lao Qin reported that Luo Shilang was here.

Chen Youniao was startled, then thought for a moment, and went out to greet the guests.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Luo Xuan said: "Chen Tanhua, I came to see you tonight to talk to you."

Chen Youniao cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details."

"The main mission of our mission to the vassal state is not only to exchange courtesy and appease people's hearts, but also to deal with another serious matter, which is the division of Qingqiu Kingdom's territory."

When Chen Youniao heard this, he immediately understood that the so-called "dividing" was actually "carving up".

Previously, Fu Meng, Zhongshan and Zhongshan jointly launched an attack, destroyed the Qingqiu Kingdom, divided its territory and captured its people, and the Dayin Dynasty naturally wanted a piece of the pie.

Chen Youniao didn't know about this matter before setting off, and Luo Shilang had been avoiding talking about it. Only when he was about to enter the feudal state did he come to talk to him.

Typical officialdom routine.
