Chapter 132
Zhang Xuezhou didn't know what the real fierce country looked like.

He traveled all the way, passed the Hundred Thousand Mountains, involved going to the Holy Land of Xieluo River, and also went to the Holy Land of Yixi River.

But Zhang Xuezhou didn't know much about the Ji Nation. He had never been to the large tribal settlements in this country, nor had he met many Ji Nation people, let alone the folk customs of the Ji Nation.

As the translator of the fierce country business group, he obviously couldn't ask three questions.

But if you want to go higher, it must involve Zhang Xuezhou.

"There are many grasslands in the land of the fierce country, and there are cattle and sheep everywhere," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"That's it?" Zhang Qian wondered, "You won't just dismiss me with just one sentence."

"Then what do you want to know?" Zhang Xuezhou said helplessly.

"For example, how many people are stationed in a city in the fierce country, how many regular troops are there, the source of their drinking water and the composition of their food, and the number of their great practitioners..."

"I'm just an ordinary person, how can I know these important things!"

"Then you should know something, even if it doesn't involve military defense, you should know the emperor and customs of the fierce country!"

……

Zhang Xuezhou felt a little regretful, he felt that he should have asked who Wu Chao's father was earlier, so that he would not be so embarrassing.

"I only know that they call the emperor Shan Yu," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I know this!"

Zhang Qian glanced over Zhang Xuezhou, his face full of curiosity.

"Do you live in the area of ​​the fierce country?" Zhang Qian asked.

"I don't have a fixed place to live, but I found a cave as my home." Zhang Xuezhou said, "That cave belongs to someone else's house, so I can only live there temporarily!"

"Is it very popular to live in stone caves in the fierce country?"

"Some places are more popular!"

"We don't have the habit of living in stone caves here. The humidity in the caves is heavy, so it's better to build a house to live in!"

"indeed!"

The topic of the two changed from brief to non-verbal, Zhang Xuezhou's face was slightly embarrassed.

When Zhang Qian asked about it again, he had to mention a bunch of things that he couldn't believe.

Anyway, Zhang Qian has never been to the fierce country, and Zhang Xuezhou can't tell the lies.

On the contrary, if he can't say anything, Zhang Xuezhou will feel that it is easy to do bad things, and may even involve the business group pulled by Wuchao.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou will not say something that is easy to verify.

Zhang Qian has never been to the fierce country, but there are other people who have been to the fierce country. With Zhang Qian's interest in Beyond the Great Wall, if he said some ordinary things, his lies would definitely be exposed.

"I once lived in the city of Huaraz. The city of Huaraz is remote, but the city is extremely rich. The rich wear gold and silver, and the gold ornaments are as big and so big..."

Zhang Xuezhou thought about the attire of the group of young people who entered the holy mountain to study, and then thought about Wuchao, and began to talk about some high-end topics.

In addition to talking about the dress of the rich, he also talked about the cultivation resources of the fierce country, involving mithril, cinnamon sand, yunying, top-grade blood jade, iron ginseng, cloud grass, Yin jujube, etc.

These training objects are used by Zhang Xuezhou to practice "The Art of Clouds". He said it in a straight-forward manner and described it very realistically.

However, the role of these cultivation materials was magnified by him, and he used words such as "said" and "rumored" as a foreshadowing.

"Taking Tie Jing Ginseng can make you as strong as an ox, no wonder the people from the fierce country are so sturdy." Zhang Qian said indignantly, "We don't have this kind of treasure in Han country, and they have as many as a cow's hair!"

"The fierce country has a vast land and abundant resources. They occupy a huge area, and there are many small countries that pay tribute every year. There must be no shortage of resources!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Wuchao collected cultivation resources for him, and many resources were naturally not found one by one by the royal family of the fierce country, but issued orders to collect them everywhere.

Whether it is a fierce country or a neighboring country, this kind of tyrannical expropriation is unimpeded.

This stems from the fierce country's huge military capabilities.

Being able to go to war with Loulan, the Great Yuezhi Kingdom and the Han Dynasty at the same time, the confidence of the fierce country is self-evident.

Correspondingly, after Wuchao changed its requirements for cultivation materials, it sent a batch of corresponding cultivation materials directly that month, which even exceeded Zhang Xuezhou's requirements.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't know whether the resources for practicing "Cloud Art" were rare or not, but according to the supply from the royal family of the Ji Kingdom, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Ji Nation was very rich.

He went on and on for a while, making Zhang Qian stunned.

Zhang Qian didn't know Tiejingshen, Yuncao and Yinzao, but Zhang Qian knew Mithril.

Mithril is used by magic weapons, one tael of Mithril and a hundred taels of gold, this is the status of Mithril, and even Mithril is difficult to buy with money.

Hearing Zhang Xuezhou mention many treasures of heaven and earth, Zhang Qian's eyes were almost red.

He previously believed that he must continue to develop in the Han Dynasty, but now, Zhang Qian felt that it would be good to go to Jiguo and other places to have a look.

If he could pick up a few ginseng plants, or get a few ounces of mithril, this kind of harvest would exceed his ten years of hard work in the military region.

"It's a shame that the evil country took advantage of its own resources to get a strong army and then rob us of the Han Dynasty." Zhang Qian said angrily, "One day we will cross the border and snatch back everything they have to eat and wear!"

"Necessary." Zhang Xuezhou supported: "Let me tell you about the rumored holy places..."

Zhang Xuezhou had a bad time, but his route was indeed relatively high-end.

With the help of Jin Chan Dharma King, he easily entered the most noble holy place in the fierce country, even two holy places.

Although he was wandering around the Holy Land, Zhang Xuezhou knew a lot about things, and he also knew about some great monsters and great spellcasters.

This makes his descriptions extremely realistic.

"It's a pity that the [-] mountains blocked our marching route, otherwise we would rush in and see one and kill the other, all the demon kings with tiger power, demon king with deer power, and demon king with sheep power will all be hacked to death!" Zhang Qian said angrily. .

"Must!" Zhang Xuezhou said.

"The people of the fierce country like to live nomadicly, and their large tribes often change their places of residence," Zhang Qian said, "We found that they live here this month, but they may go to other places next month, even if they don't With the obstruction of Mount Wan, it is difficult for us to catch their tails, so we have to fall into a steadfast defense, and General Cheng hates it so much that he can only grit his teeth every time he mentions this!"

"You must grit your teeth!"

"You don't know how dangerous the Hundred Thousand Mountains are. It's completely different from the small roads you take for business. We can't travel through more than ten countries and get to the rear of the fierce country. We can only keep strengthening the border..."

The topic changed from active to passive, and from passive to two-way communication between the two parties, and then to Zhang Qian actively nagging about the embarrassment of the foreign enemies under the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Qian talked eloquently about various national affairs, and the journey was not too lonely.

On the sixth day, they finally saw the huge urban agglomeration in the distance.

"It's Chang'an!"

The three-day journey, day and night, turned into six days. The closer Zhang Qian got to Chang'an City, the more disturbed he felt.

He was also fortunate that escorting Zhang Xuezhou to Chang'an City was not a special military mission, otherwise the three days he was delayed would be enough to lose his head.

But it is probably inevitable that some merits and demerits will be offset.

Originally wanting to claim credit for promotion, Zhang Qian could only pray that Zhang Xuezhou was the real thing, and not a liar like those former students who claimed to be cheating.
