I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 233: Mission to Nanqi
Cold winter, heavy snow.

Jiang Wen walked out of the house wearing an animal skin cloak. He looked at the white snow outside and couldn't help but smile a little contentedly.

Children in heavy coats were playing with each other and running past the yard. The clothes they wore were just like the ancient clothes Jiang Wen saw in this world.These children have different looks, different sizes, and different hair colors. You can tell they belong to different tribes just by looking at them.

There was even a child with horns on his forehead, and two pointed tiger teeth exposed when he grinned.

Watching them go away, there were snow plows on the spacious street.

The person who uses fire magic can spit out fire from his mouth and melt a large piece of snow.The tall man held an iron tool and swept through the heavy snow like a bulldozer.

In this busy and lively street scene, Jiang Wen walked slowly towards the tall palace not far away.

A year has passed since the death bugs invaded, and Jiang Wenji was appointed king by the royal capital.After experiencing the insect plague, Tianyuan City's reputation spread throughout the Taicang Dynasty.All the kings knew that at the gate of the old land, there was a city that could withstand hundreds of millions of insect pests without relying on other tribes.The owner of the city is a descendant of the royal family branch who has just reached adulthood and is going to open up old lands.

It was also after this that more and more people came to Tianyuan City.In just one year, Tianyuan City expanded again and again.Now it is more than ten times larger than when it was first built.From the original nearly [-] people, it has now grown to [-] people.Even if it is placed in Tai Cang, it can be considered a big city.

The entire Tianyuan City is like a towering giant, nestled across the entire mountain pass.Block everything on the other side of the mountain range and prevent disaster from entering the land behind you.

And Meng Yue, who fled before the battle, was personally sent by the Meng family, tied up and escorted to Jiang Wenji.

Meng Yue burst into tears, claiming that he was bewitched by tribal women and fled.He felt sorry for the ancestors of the Meng family, and also felt sorry for the princess.As for the woman who bewitched him, he was also taken along. She was indeed a very beautiful tribal woman.He has a pair of bright big eyes, and his temperament and facial features are very in line with the aesthetics of people of this period.She looked at Jiang Wenji stubbornly with her big eyes open, not feeling at all that she had made any mistake.

But after hearing Meng Yue's excuse, he looked at him contemptuously and said with a sneer: "Those who are afraid will blame it on me. If you are willing to stick here, what if I die with you?"

"You!" Meng Yue said angrily. "If you, a witch, hadn't bewitched me, how could I have done such a cowardly act?!"

"Why don't you ask those sharks and Bai'er tribe women you accepted?" the woman said calmly. "When I first met you, I originally wanted to see your heroic appearance. But I never thought that you would become more and more greedy for pleasure and lazy in military preparation. In the end, you even became cowardly. You said you didn't dare to fight, and that defending here would only lead to death. Life. I still want to wait for the end of this place and borrow the name of a fearless hero. Could it be that I have deceived you into thinking like this? "

"You! You! You temptress! I'm going to kill you!" Meng Yue was furious. He stood up from the ground and rushed towards the woman.But before he could make any move, he was held down by Tuoba warriors on both sides.

Everyone present looked at him with disgust, waiting for Jiang Wenji, who was sitting high up, to give orders.

Jiang Wenji was wearing a fox fur, holding her face on one hand and looking at Meng Yue.There was no emotion in her eyes, as cold as a king.There was no expression on Meiyan's face, and the only sound she could hear was the tapping of her fingers on the armrest.

"Princess! Princess! No, King of Heaven! His Highness the King of Heaven! Please bypass me, for the sake of the fact that I sacrificed my life for His Highness." Meng Yue cried, no longer showing the courage to fight the monks. posture.He ruined his fighting spirit while enjoying himself, and also lost his strong heart.

Jiang Wenji lowered her eyes, waved her hand towards the outside and said softly: "Escape from the battlefield is considered a serious crime. You will be stoned and nailed to the cold cliff."

"As for this man, he was demoted to the status of a slave."

"Yes!"

Voices echoed in the hall, and amidst Meng Yue's frightened cries, he was tied up and dragged out of the hall.

Not long after, bursts of wailing came.

Stoning is an extremely cruel punishment method in Tai Cang. It involves tying a person to a stone pillar and then pushing another stone pillar to hit the prisoner.The stone pillar cannot be heavy or light, so that the other person can still feel the pain while alive.

Only after hitting Qiqi 49 times before dying can the punishment be considered completed.This kind of stoning is feared by everyone in Tai Cang, and ordinary people are extremely frightened when they hear it.Only those who have suffered serious crimes will be sentenced to death by stoning.

Jiang Wenji sighed and rubbed her tired eyes.When he saw Jiang Wen walking in, a gentle smile appeared on his stern face.

"Did you call me for something?" Jiang Wen asked.

"Can't I just call you over if I have nothing to do?" she asked.

"Not really, it's just that you are busy on weekdays. Usually I am the only one looking for you, but why are you free to call me today?"

"I miss you so much."

"is it?"

"You're just joking, look at this." Jiang Wenji suppressed the confusion in her eyes and handed him a roll of bamboo slips.

Jiang Wen took the bamboo slip and read the words on it.Then he looked at her in confusion: "Is this from Nanqi people?"

"Exactly, the Nanqi people heard that we resisted the swarm of dead insects and wanted to ask for help from us. They were defeated in the old land a few years ago and were deprived of many living places by the aliens. So far, they have not recovered from their defeat. After recovering, we hope that our Tianyuan City can help them."

Jiang Wenji said, stood up and walked to Jiang Wen. She stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Wen, looked at him and said warmly: "I know that you are also from Nanqi, so I wanted to ask if you are willing to go on behalf of Tianyuan City. This It can be regarded as easing the relationship between me, Tai Cang, and the Nanqi people."

"I have no problem." Jiang Wen nodded. He had always been curious about the Nanqi people.According to what Jiang Wenji said, the Nanqi people may have some kind of relationship with Daqian in later generations.

But as for what the connection is, we have to wait until Jiang Wen goes to find out.

"Then I will thank you on behalf of Tai Cang." Jiang Wenji said sincerely.Then she took out something from her waist, took Jiang Wen's hand and placed it on his palm.

"Just accept this."

It was a golden token with the word "Hou" of Tai Cang engraved on it.

"This is?"

"This is what I promised you. I said that if I were a king, I would make you a marquis." Jiang Wenji said with a smile. "Luxiang keeps his word."

"Then I'm not welcome." Jiang Wen held the gold medal and put it in his arms.

In the evening, Jiang Wenji held a celebration banquet for him and wished him a smooth trip.

Because time was urgent, he took Xiu Qi and Xue to the place where the Nanqi people were located early the next morning.

When his figure disappeared, Jiang Wenji stood on the city wall and watched quietly.Under the white snow, her figure is as lonely as a plum blossom.
