In the snow, Zhang Zhuo helped Zhang Xia get on the horse again. He patted Zaozao's cheek and said, "Thanks to you, you will be a great contributor to my Zhang family from now on. I will ask the housekeeper to find you a hen later." Ma... Zhang Xia looked at him angrily: "Dad, what did you say?!"

Zhang Zhuo laughed and said, "This is the order of heaven and earth. There is nothing that can't be said."

Chen Ji looked at this scene and said with emotion: "Everyone in the world says Mr. Zhang is greedy, which may not be true, but people say Mr. Zhang is lustful, which is probably not a lie... However, I think Mr. Zhang really loves Miss Zhang Er. , he was wearing official uniform, and he thought he was informed of the news while he was working in the Yamen, so he rushed over without stopping."

Zhang Zhuo laughed loudly: "Those who know me have traces of me."

Chen Ji suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhang, this horse is unusual. I heard Miss Zhang Er said earlier that it was brought back from outside by Mr. Xu Shu, the Deputy Superintendent of Qintian Prison?"

Zhang Zhuo got on his horse and said, "It's not a secret. In the seventh year after Xu Shu came back to life, he was successful in practice. Suddenly he said goodbye to Mr. Xu Ge and went north, saying that he was looking for something. Later, I heard from him that he went to Jingchao In the bitter cold land further north, I couldn't find what I was looking for, but I brought back this dragon horse. "

"I heard from Miss Zhang Er that it is a species of dragon."

Zhang Zhuo said: "Xu Shu said that there is still some ancient bloodline left in the bitter cold land in the north, and it is most magical to use it to make war horses."

Chen Ji suddenly thought, if according to his guess, Xu Shu was also a person who came down from the 49th Heaven, then what was he looking for when he suddenly traveled thousands of miles to the bitter cold land in the north? Are the treasures left in the world by the 49th Heaven? ?

Chen Ji asked again: "Master Zhang is well-educated and knowledgeable, have you ever heard of a person like Xuanyuan?" This was what he wanted to ask the most.

There is no search engine in this world, and looking for any information is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Only someone with a superb memory and extensive reading like Zhang Zhuo can answer his questions.

But I saw Zhang Zhuo thinking for a moment: "There is Fugu Peak in Huangshan, and there is a cave under Fugu Peak. The cave is engraved with the word Xuanyuan. There is a fragment of a book that records that the sharpest sword in the world is named "Xuanyuan Sword", but this sword is lost." Missing, no one has ever seen it...there are only so many records that can be found.”

Chen Ji nodded and said nothing more. It seemed that there were some things that he had to ask Xuanyuan himself.

He slowly closed his eyes and let the horse stagger away with him. The ice flow in his body spread out, bringing him back to the black sea of ​​clouds and falling on it. When he opened his eyes, the traces were not there. Xuanyuan's figure was seen on the top of the mountain.

The black king's flag embroidered with gold characters was inserted into the cracks of the boulders, and there was no one around.

Chen Ji felt strange. He stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. He saw that the sea of ​​clouds dispersed and a piece of farmland was opened at the foot of the mountain. Xuanyuan took off his royal robe and changed into a pair of coarse cloth. He was pulling a plow in the field with his trousers rolled up. .

Chen Ji went down the mountain to the edge of the farmland and asked curiously: "What are you doing?" Xuanyuan replied casually: "Farming."

Chen Ji wondered: "You are already an immortal who doesn't need to eat or drink, so why do you still farm?"

Xuanyuan said impatiently: "I like farming, can't I? Sheji Sheji, Sheji is the land, and Ji is the grain. Without the grain, the world will be incomplete. This is the foundation of a country." Chen Yi sat down on the edge of the farmland. : "But there is no person in the word Sheji."

Xuanyuan was startled: "What?"

Chen Ji crossed his knees and said: "She is the land, Ji is the grain, where are the people?" Xuanyuan thought for a while: "In the heart of the emperor."

Chen Ji smiled happily: "Humorous."

Xuanyuan put down the plow on his shoulder and said with a cold face: "What happened today?" Chen Ji said seriously: "Have you ever built a cave under Fugu Peak to practice?" Xuanyuan was confused: "Fugu Peak? I have never heard of it. "

Chen Ji thought for a moment and changed his question: "In the outside world, I found a cave under a mountain peak. The word Xuanyuan was engraved in the cave. Not far from the mountain peak, there was a canyon where people walked. "Looking up at the sky, there is only a thin line of blue sky left. If it were not for Ziwu, there would be no moon or sun."

Xuanyuan was startled: "The Capital of the Emperor? Have you found the Capital of the Emperor?" Chen Ji was also startled: "What is the Capital of the Emperor?"

Xuanyuan left the farmland and put on a black royal robe out of thin air in the blink of an eye. The royal robe seemed to come from the void and appeared on him in the blink of an eye: "I was seriously injured and fled to a mountain to recuperate and enlightenment... It was also here. I got to know you." Chen Ji didn't expect that this was actually related to him: "What happens after we get to know you?"

Xuanyuan did not want to answer this question, but instead narrowed his eyes: "It's strange, since you can find the capital of the emperor, it means Guixu, Leize, Qingqiu Kingdom, Tianshan, Zhangwei Mountain, Fajiu Mountain, Sun Moon Mountain is still there, it just changed its name... "That's how it should be."

Xuanyuan's expression became strange: "The Emperor has a spring with a sword hidden in it. It was taken from me after I killed an enemy with my own hands. If you take its sword intention, you can use it to cultivate the sword seed in your body and reach the sky in one step." "Chen Ji's eyes lit up, but then went out in an instant: "It's been more than 16,000 years, that sword has probably already decayed?"

Xuanyuan asked in a solemn voice: "Has the whale knife ever decayed?" "No."

"The whale sword doesn't exist, so it doesn't have it either. I stored it in the spring. I wanted to use Tianzidu, the most amazing peak in the world, to store the sword's energy for future use. I didn't expect that it would be an advantage for you." Chen Ji came again. Spirit: "Where is the spring? Can you tell me more about the landform features?"

Xuanyuan avoided answering and said slowly: "Not only this place, I also have many valuable treasures hidden in the world. Although I don't know what their names are now, I can help you draw them... But why should I help you?" You draw it?"

Chen Ji said seriously: "If I die one day, wouldn't you be able to borrow my body to come back to the world? I just keep these treasures for you, and they will all be yours from now on. When you come back to the world, you don't have to work hard to find them." You can use it immediately." Xuanyuan sneered: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Chen Ji Wuqing said: "You can make some conditions."

Xuanyuan thought for a moment and suddenly waved to the military formation in the distance: "Feng Huai, Feng Lie, Feng Xiao, Feng Gui!" In the military formation, four soldiers came out and knelt on one knee: "Here!"

Xuanyuan turned back to look at Chen Ji and sneered: "Four people are surrounding you. As soon as I can beat them four, I will tell you the first place to hide the treasure." Feng Huai holds a knife, Feng Lie holds an ax, Feng Xiao Holding sticks and holding bows, the four men were full of arrogance and fighting spirit.

Chen Ji cursed secretly, turned around and ran away.

....

"Chen Ji, wake up."

"Chen Ji, we're here."

Chen Ji opened his eyes on the horse, and what he saw was a patch of red. The setting sun was shining slantingly.

The white snowfield reflects brilliant light, like an orange-red aurora flowing on the snow. The gate tower of Luo City appears on the horizon, like a mirage.

Chen Ji looked at this scene in a daze.

Zhang Zhuo rode up to him and asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Ji came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I really want to go back to the hospital and have a good sleep now, but the beautiful scenery is breathtaking right now, but I want to stop and take a closer look. You said the end is more important. , or is the scenery on the road more important?" Zhang Zhuo stroked his beard and thought for a long time before replying: "If you ask me, of course the destination is more important."

Chen Ji was puzzled: "Why?"

Zhang Zhuo laughed: "I am quite greedy. When I see a scenery, I wonder if there will be something more beautiful waiting for me ahead. I will not be willing to accept it until I see the end...Young man, You saved my black gauze hat during the last civil uprising, and you saved my daughter’s life this time. How should I repay you?”

Chen Ji smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. Miss Zhang Er and I are classmates, so there's no reason to refuse to save her."

"Two different things," Zhang Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Take part in the imperial examination. As long as you don't kill anyone in the examination room, I will guarantee that you will succeed." So simple?

"It's so simple." Zhang Zhuo said, "I know you don't want to be involved in officialdom, but I also know that you are not a person who just wants to be alone." Chen Ji looked into the distance: "My lord, you have misunderstood."

Zhang Zhuo said with a smile: "If you were a Confucian civil servant who only knew how to take care of yourself, you wouldn't have jumped off the city wall on the day of the civil uprising. Just do what I do, I'll protect you..." Before he could finish his words, he saw Mr. Wang He quickly left the Chitose Army formation and came to Chen Ji's side.

He said to Zhang Zhuo: "Chen Ji is not suitable to be a civil servant, and he does not necessarily have to take the imperial examination. Follow me to Beijing in the next year, and I will find a job for you in the Ministry of War. The imperial court has been suffering from long-term abuses, what is the use of wasting three years? ?" Zhang Zhuo was unhappy: "Why are you here to join in the fun?"

Wang Daosheng replied calmly: "He is more suitable for the frontier army." Zhang Zhuo shook his head and said: "The promotion of the frontier army is too slow."

Wang Daosheng's face was expressionless: "If there is no border army, how can we sing and dance in the south to bring peace? Mr. Zhang doesn't look down on the frontier army?"

"You old boy, don't hold the shit out of me," Zhang Zhuo said angrily, "I'm not saying that the border army is useless, but taking him with you can help you guide him earlier. With more power in your hands, you can do more things." Wang Daosheng asked lightly: "Who are you? I am his mentor, so it is more reasonable for him to do things with me."

Zhang Zhuo was startled and wanted to refute for a moment, but he didn't know where to start: "I...I can..."

He looked back at Zhang Xia and swallowed his words again: "You only taught him for a few days. You are not a mentor. Just wait, everyone depends on their abilities!"

Chen Ji looked at Zhang Zhuo on his left and Wang Daosheng on his right: "Two adults...

Wang Daosheng looked calm: "When you call him, you can call him sir. From now on, when you call me, you can call me teacher."

Chen Ji: "Teacher..."

Wang Daosheng said slowly: "I don't necessarily want you to come out to do things, but if you want to do something, you have to come with me, don't follow him. He works for the Xu family and doesn't care about feathers on weekdays. Who knows what will happen in the history of future generations? Write about him?" Chen Ji quietly tightened the reins and slowed down, retreating from the quarrel between the two adults.

Without his hindrance, Zhang Zhuo and Wang Daosheng got closer and argued more fiercely.

Zhang Zhuo said: "It's still unclear whether you can be transferred to the post of Minister of War in the spring. What kind of promises are you making now?"

Wang Daosheng: "In the spring of the 24th year of Jianing, you lost to me in debate."

Zhang Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "You have been reprimanded twice by His Majesty. The Donglin Party members cannot tolerate a deviant like you. What can I do if I follow you?"

Wang Daosheng: "In the autumn of the twenty-fifth year of Jianing, you lost to me again in debate."

Zhang Zhuo was immediately angry and rode on his horse to hit Wang Daosheng from a distance. However, Wang Daosheng was wearing heavy armor and his fists and feet did not hurt or itch at all.

Wang Daosheng said indifferently and contemptuously: "How dignified is it for the imperial officials to use their hands and feet."
