Sweeping the world

Chapter 145 Tianzhou
"At that time, I will personally hand over the things to you."

Outside the city, looking at Song Li in front of him, Chen Ming said so.

After the words fell, Song Li was stunned, but he didn't continue to talk about this topic, but asked: "But I don't know how Liu Zhuangshi feels about my previous proposal?"

He said, with a very attentive expression on his face: "I have asked the king for instructions, as long as the strong man is willing, the three counties in the south of the Song Kingdom can be ceded to the strong man immediately."

He finally brought up this proposal, and brought up the previous proposal of cracking the soil and sealing the marquis again.

This is not the first time he has brought it up.

It seemed that they were intimidated by Chen Ming's force. During this period of time, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were very friendly, and they mentioned more than once that they wanted Chen Ming to stay and become a Marquis in the Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that Chen Ming was not interested in the Marquis of the Song Dynasty, so he declined all of them.

It is the same now.

He smiled and rejected Song Li's proposal again, and then he didn't stay where he was too long, just smiled, turned and left.

Before leaving, he looked thoughtfully at a certain corner, smiled at that corner, and then walked away.

After he left, Song Li immediately turned around and looked behind him.

In the corner that Chen Ming was looking at before, a white-haired old man was sweating profusely, wearing a gorgeous gray robe, walking out slowly.

"granduncle!"

Looking at the old man, Song Li looked respectful, and immediately stepped forward to greet him. His attitude seemed very respectful, and he put himself in the position of a junior: "What do you see?"

"I saw something."

Facing Song Li, the old man wiped the sweat from his brow, and sighed with lingering fear: "This man's fighting spirit is really rare in the world, and I am not as good as it."

Hearing these words, Song Li's expression didn't change at all, and there wasn't even the slightest ups and downs in his heart.

He had seen Chen Ming's cruelty with his own eyes, so he naturally understood what kind of existence it was.

How can a ruthless person who can fight the black snake and kill it be compared to an old man whose half body is about to fall into the ground.

Of course, even though he thought so in his heart, he still had to say polite words on the surface.

So, with a respectful face, he looked at the old man and said: "Uncle, don't be discouraged. Although this man is strong, he is only relying on his youth and arrogance. If you can be two hundred years younger, Uncle, you can naturally take him down."

"Li'er, you're overrated."

The old man sighed softly: "If it's someone else, it's okay to say, but this person, I am absolutely no match."

"Even if I am young and in my prime, if I fight to the death with this person, I will most likely die in the end, at most causing him serious injuries."

"It's so scary?"

At this moment, Song Li's expression finally changed, with some surprise on his face: "Why is this so?"

"In terms of cultivation, he and I are at the peak of innateness between brothers, and we are only one step away from taking the last step to become the Supreme Tongxuan."

The old man shook his head and said calmly: "But compared to what I have learned in this body, this person seems to be born for war, with a fighting spirit all over his body, even if he makes a random move, the aura he can display will probably be even greater Thirty percent."

"When it comes to fighting, I am far from his opponent."

He spoke like this, but at the end, there was some hesitation on his face: "However, after observing this person for a long time, I found that there is a faint sense of incongruity in his body, as if there are hidden wounds in his body that have not fully healed."

"That's not surprising."

Song Li shook his head, and said: "According to what I saw half a month ago, this man was a match for the Black Snake, and killed it overnight. How could it not leave any traces on his body? Some injuries are quite normal."

"That's true."

The old man thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in agreement, without thinking about it at a deeper level.

Three days passed quickly.

Three days later, Chen Ming handed the Snake Pearl to Song Li, and then put away the thick catalog books he brought, cupped his hands, turned and left.

He didn't leave too far, but when he came to his residence for a while, he stopped and opened the box in his hand.

After the box was opened, five thick books were revealed inside, each of which was a method of military battle.

Among them, the light soldier tactics that Song Li promised before are also included, but compared to what the other party gave to Chen Ming before, the content here is much more detailed, and it seems to be profound and subtle. .

"Ok?"

Flipping through several tactics, Chen Ming was stunned and found something new at the bottom of the box.

At the bottom of the box, a blue gemstone lay there quietly, and it was emitting a faint fluorescence at the moment.

This thing looks somewhat similar to the snake bead that Chen Ming gave Song Li, but inside it is very different.

What is contained in the snake bead is the violent vitality in the mysterious snake, and the power contained in it is violent.

But within this blue orb, there is a warm and gentle vitality, touching it in the hand, it will make people feel that there is a stream flowing into the body, which is very comfortable.

"This is a medicine bead."

Looking at this gem, Chen Ming touched it for a long time before he barely recognized it.

Medicinal beads are unique and precious in this world. They contain extremely strong medicinal properties. Wearing them on the body for a long time can make people strong and strong. As for internal injuries, they are known as the king of medicine in this world.

"It's intentional, but unfortunately, it's useless to me"

After accepting the medicine bead in front of him, Chen Ming shook his head.

The other party would add this medicine bead on purpose, obviously the one who was lurking that day saw something, so he gave this thing as a favor.

It's a pity that what he suffered was not a conventional injury, but a rupture of the source, and the medicine bead in front of him could not do anything at all.

But since the item was delivered, Chen Ming would not refuse it.

After completely memorizing the tactics, he waved his hand, and a surge of energy shattered the secrets into dust instantly.

Then he put away the medicine beads, got up from where he was, and looked up into the distance with big strides.

Now that things are over, for Chen Ming, it's time to find something more meaningful to do.

"Tianzhou."

He raised his head and muttered in his mouth, and then the whole figure gradually blurred in place, and finally disappeared directly here.

dozens of days later.

In a city on the border of Zhongzhou, Chen Ming was wandering around.

Zhongzhou is a large continent relative to Zhongyu and Gaoyu, covering a very large area.

Compared with the single residence in Zhongyu and Gaoyu, Zhongzhou is much more chaotic.

There are people from the Central Plains, barbarians, black-skinned, short-looking savages, and some rumored Moxie people who have inherited the blood of the ancient demon gods.

Even if he was just wandering around the city on the border of Zhongzhou, Chen Ming could already feel the difference between this city and other places.

Those who pull carts and carry shoulders on the side of the road are mostly black-skinned savages; those who drive cattle and horses, and carry swords by their side are mostly barbarians who enter the city to trade; Is from the Central Plains.

For example, when Chen Ming entered the city dressed like this, he didn't even need to introduce himself, others would know that he was from the Central Plains.

Chen Ming was wandering around the city, trying to find a map of Tianzhou.

Unlike Zhongyu and Gaoyu, Zhongzhou is too large and the terrain is too complicated.

Chen Ming was alone, unfamiliar with the place, and didn't know how to get to the Land of Skyfire.

However, after searching around the city for a long time, Chen Ming was finally disappointed.

This is not a modern society with advanced information and cheap transportation, but a different world.

If you want a map that can cover the surrounding roads, I am afraid that even the city lord of this city may not have it, let alone these small people.

What is even more frustrating is that Chen Ming searched around for a long time, trying to find out some news about the Kingdom of Skyfire, but in the end, there were very few.

No one knows where the Kingdom of Skyfire is, and they don't know the news of this country, as if this country does not exist at all.

This situation gave Chen Ming an ominous premonition.

"The Kingdom of Skyfire, I am afraid there is still a long, long distance from where I am now."

Walking through a foreign caravan, looking at the streets surrounded by people coming and going, this thought flashed in Chen Ming's mind.

"Young man." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Ok?"

Chen Ming looked up, only to see in front of him, and at some point, a person was already standing in front of him.

It was a middle-aged man who seemed to be quite energetic, with a strong physique from top to bottom, and his skin was thick and dark. He looked like a barbarian who grew up on the grassland since he was a child, but he was dressed like a Central Territory person.

"You are."

Looking at this person, Chen Ming was stunned for a long time, and finally asked.

"My surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Xie. Everyone around me calls me Zhao Laosan."

The middle-aged man looked very cheerful. Seeing Chen Ming's question, he immediately patted his chest and said with a smile, "I just heard from you, little brother, that you want to go to the Land of Fire?"

"indeed so."

Chen Ming nodded. Although he was a little surprised by the appearance of the person in front of him, he didn't think much of it. He just asked, "Does Mr. Zhao know?"

"I'm a big bastard, what's my name, sir!"

Zhao Xie said, his voice was very loud: "As for the Kingdom of Skyfire, I do know."

"Not only do I know, but I often run there."

"It's so far away, what are you doing there?"

Chen Ming sized Zhao Xie up and asked.

"It's not for living."

Zhao Xie shook his head and said, "When you run a business, you have to run far to make money. If you run too close, you can earn some food. Why don't you go home and farm!"

Speaking of this, his tone paused, looked at Chen Ming and said: "You are looking around for the Kingdom of Skyfire, but you want to go there."

"good."

Chen Ming nodded, and said calmly, "I heard that the place has unique scenery and special charm, so I always wanted to find a chance to go and have a look."

"There are not many other places in Tianzhou, but there are many places with unique scenery. Why go to a place like the Land of Fire?"

In front of him, hearing what Chen Ming said, Zhao Xie shook his head and said, "But if you really want to go, you can come with me."

"My convoy has to go through many places and go to the back of Tianzhou. The Kingdom of Skyfire is also the place I want to pass through."

"Of course, because the place is too far away, the price may be more expensive."

Looking at Chen Ming, he said so.

"Price is not an issue."

Chen Ming shook his head, his face looked calm: "Which family is the royal family of the Kingdom of Skyfire?"

"How could I not know about the famous Heavenly Fire Divine Meridian?"

Zhao Xie smiled: "If you don't trust me, little brother, you can ask around about my reputation."

"I've been running a business in this place for ten years, and what I've done has always been the business of running a business. I never deceive others."

"No, let's go."

Chen Ming nodded, without asking around, he just said that.

The size of this city is not too big, and he has asked about the places that should be inquired about once before, but there are not many places that he knows about.

Apart from Zhao Xie in front of him, Chen Ming guessed that there were no other people in the city who knew the way.

Therefore, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he just nodded and made way for Zhao Xie in front of him.

In front of him, listening to Chen Ming's words, Zhao Xie quickly showed a smile on his face, then turned around quickly, and led Chen Ming to a place.

It was a camp outside the city. The vegetation and trees around the camp were not cleaned up. Some black powder was sprinkled on the ground, which smelled a little pungent.

"It's a medicinal powder used to get rid of mosquitoes and wild animals. It smells a bit strange. Just bear with it and let it go."

Looking at Chen Ming, Zhao Xie turned around and explained something.

He walked all the way, and then quickly arrived in front of an empty tent, and said to Chen Ming: "The conditions are simple, this is where you will live for the next few days."

"How long will you stay here?"

Looking at Zhao Xie, Chen Ming asked casually.

"About five or six days."

Zhao Xie thought about it, and finally said: "I still need to buy some things, and then I can leave together."

"In the past few days, you can pack some luggage and chat with people around you."

He pointed to the surroundings, where there were still some sporadic tents: "The people living in those tents are also people who walked with us, but most of them are not going to the same place as you, and some are closer than you, and some are closer than you." Far."

"it is good."

Chen Ming nodded and didn't say much.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Zhao Xie stepped back and directed a group of people to move some things up and down.

Seeing how busy he was, Chen Ming shook his head, walked straight into the tent.

The tent that Zhao Xie arranged for Chen Ming looked similar to the barbarian's tent, but compared to the place where Chen Ming lived in the Tarot Department, this tent was much smaller. Beds, and some crude cabinets.

The only thing that satisfied Chen Ming was that the place was fairly clean, and it seemed that someone came to clean it up every day.

At least in terms of customer service, Zhao Xie did a pretty good job.

Chen Ming was totally dressed, he had nothing but a few pieces of clothes for a change of clothes, so he simply moved in here.

Soon, the time of day passed and night followed.
