An unreasonable autumn rain wet both sides of the Yellow River. The dead leaves in late autumn circling in the wind and falling in the rain make people feel desolate and cold.

In such a cold season, there are still people climbing up the stone steps in the mountain behind Wohu City, as if they are going to climb to the top of the mountain in the rain.

I heard that the King of Pingxi was going to climb the mountain in the rain, so early in the morning, the Crouching Tiger Protection Office sent someone to go up the mountain in advance to control the easily hiding places on both sides of the road. There were even experts from the Shadow Team members who were good at sniping occupied all sniper points in the mountain to prevent any mistakes.

Now, the issue of Zhao Xing's personal safety is not the final word, but it must be discussed by the three families of the Guard Corps, Shadow Headquarters and the Security Department before the decision can be made. Although no one in the world said that Zhao Xing might be the emperor, everyone in the City of Falcon City felt that it was a matter of time. If even a great sage, the King of Pingxi who had never seen the ancients before, could not conquer the world, who else in the world had this qualification?

Protecting the safety of King Pingxi is to protect the welfare of all people in the world. Even if it takes tens of times of hard work and hardship in this matter, the civil and military officials under Zhao Xing felt that it is worth it and deserved.

Because of this, Zhao Xing has been leaving the Crotto City less and less in recent years. It’s not that he doesn’t want to walk around and take a look, but that he is frightened by a whole set of cumbersome travel protection plans. Think about it, Zhao Xing, who has always liked to be unrestrained, now every step he takes is followed by open and hidden guards in front and behind. Even if he wants to "shush" the side of the road when he is tired, he has to worry about his second child being seen. How can he live this life!

Although it was late autumn and it was drizzling again in the sky, Zhao Xing, who had been in Wohu City for a long time, decided to go hiking the mountain and get some breathing, and by the way, he made a clue about the following many things.

Zhao Xing happily climbed up the steps in front of him, followed by Li Jinsi, Pang Tong, Li Ru and Lu Meng. Some of them looked dull, and some looked frowning, and they didn't know what they were thinking about. Chen Gui was old and did not come with Zhao Xing this time. He was in the mansion to play chess with Wang Yun.

Everyone came to an octagonal pavilion above the top of the mountain, shook off the raindrops on their heads and between their hair, and then the guards following behind brought a stove with bamboo charcoal inside, a few jars of Changhe Daqu that had not been opened, as well as several plates of chopped cooked beef and wine dishes.

Several people sat around the stove, first opened a jar of wine, placed it on the stove and hot it, and then began to talk about some anecdotes and interesting things that have happened in various places since this autumn, which was very soothing and comfortable.

When the white air came out of the hot sand jar, Zhao Xing asked someone to give the big wine cup in front of everyone a colorless and transparent long river song, and then raised his glass and said, "Come on, come on! Today, thank you for your hard work, please accompany me to get in the rain and climb the mountain. I will do this cup to warm up my body first!"

The few people accompanying him knew that Zhao Xing must have something to say, but since he did not mention it on his own initiative, everyone would not talk too much, and they all picked up the wine cup and drank it.

Not everyone can taste this Changhe Daqu, which is specially supplied by Xu's winery to the Pingxi Prince's Mansion. It is said that it is made of several kinds of grains and is not mixed with any moisture. It is not available for sale on the market.

While drinking, Zhao Xing asked Lu Meng with a smile: "Ziming lived in the Jiangnan water town that is like spring all year round. Have you ever adapted to the autumn and winter weather in the north?"

Lu Meng put down the chopsticks in his hand, raised his glass to toast King Pingxi, and then drank the white wine in the cup with sizzling sounds, saying, "The south is good, and the north is good, and the north is wonderful. If we had not come to Wohu City, how could we drink the special supply specially made by the Xu family winery for King Pingxi!"

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

Pang Tong, who also came from the south, sighed and said: "China's China is vast and boundless, with huge differences in customs between the north and the south. All regions have their own extraordinary points. If they had not traveled all over the world, who would have known the wonderful things?"

Zhao Xing followed Pang Tong's words and said, "It's really vast! Now we are actually controlling only 30% or 40% of the territory of China, but there are already millions of people working hard and beautiful rivers and mountains. When the world is unified, I wonder what a spectacular scene it will be?"

Li Jinsi often went to and from Zhao Xing's study, and was very familiar with the huge "Colossom Map of the Geometric Kingdoms" in Zhao Xing's study. He knew that the "unification of the world" mentioned by Zhao Xing not only refers to the land of China, but also covers several continents overseas. So he said: "I am afraid that at that time, it will be difficult to reach from Donglai County, the easternmost part of China to the westernmost part of the Great Qin State."

Li Ru heard what Li Jinsi said, nodded and said, "In order to control the land of China, the Han royal family spent a lot of effort on the establishment of government agencies and prefectures and counties. Now it seems that there are still many problems and hidden dangers. If King Pingxi leads everyone to conquer the land of the four seas in the future, the territory is so huge, I am afraid that there are three or five great Han people so vast. How to ensure the long-term unification of the empire will not fall apart but it is the key."

The question Li Ru mentioned was somewhat thought about, but everyone thought it was an almost unsolvable problem, because there were no previous examples for reference, and even Zhao Xing did not find the accurate answer. Zhao Xing remembered that although Genghis Khan swept across the Eurasian continent in later generations, his descendants had only one country on this planet, Mongolia, and it was recognized by China under the persecution of Changmao and American robbers.

If Zhao Xing had been struggling for a long time, he could only save the territory left by his ancestors in the end. He might as well take a shower and go to bed early, return to the Wohu City and hug his wives and continue to build a person, so as to avoid looking at Chongshan in these late autumn days.

Seeing that everyone put down the wine cup and chopsticks and thought about the future with a serious look on their faces, Zhao Xing took out a stack of papers full of words from his arms and asked Li Jinsi to distribute them to everyone.

These papers embody Zhao Xing’s thoughts on national development and political reform over the past year. Many of his views have broken through the inherent thinking trend and learned from the political systems of various countries in later generations, which will definitely surprise people who see it.

After getting the paper, the people in the pavilion looked carefully and seriously, for fear of missing any of the words on it. They were either confused by Zhao Xing's blunt doubts about the supremacy of imperial power, or yearning for the ideal country described by Zhao Xing, or secretly applauding Zhao Xing's sharp criticism of the policy of fooling the people, or secretly surprised that Zhao Xing did not intend to be an emperor but was interested in becoming a pope...

For a moment, the wind outside the pavilion was mixed with raindrops, and only the wine jar on the charcoal stove in the pavilion was emitting white air.
