Chapter 375 The legendary thing
The others looked at each other in confusion. Shouldn't they turn to the northwest? Why is this going in the opposite direction?
"Lord, aren't we still going to fight in the Western Region? Why are we going south again?" Xu Chu asked curiously.
"The Western Region must be conquered, but it's already here. It's better to go to the south. The territory of Xizhou feels a bit small. It will be enough to double it."
Liu Jin touched his chin and replied, although Xizhou is a state in name, strictly speaking, the territory is only as big as three counties, so calling it a state is a bit reluctant.
Jia Xu and Yan Zhong's eyelids were twitching wildly, but Xun You looked at Liu Jin angrily, "You still care about killing and not burying him as always."
"Prince, look, is there a possibility that we don't have that many troops to guard it?"
Jia Xu had a toothache. No wonder General Huangfu insisted on letting him come. This prince was not a trouble-free master.
Liu Jin waved his hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. The rivers of blood are flowing here. Which tribe dares to mess around after eating the bear's heart and leopard? There is no need to leave so many troops."
"Besides, we can recruit troops directly from the local herdsmen here, and Shenlang Qiang will fully cooperate."
"If it doesn't work, just recruit troops from Liangzhou or Yizhou. A living person cannot die of urination."
Jia Xu:……
We don’t know whether a living person will suffocate to death, but sooner or later we will be tortured to death by you. Do you dare to be more gentle? You really treat this outside the wall as your back garden, taking whatever you want.
But, as I said, if something goes wrong it has nothing to do with me.
"If Ziqian wants to go south, there is actually no problem. He can eliminate the hidden dangers in Yizhou along the way and save trouble in the future."
Xun You agreed, and while Zi Qian was here, he should quickly gain territory, otherwise he would waste a lot of time and money in the future.
As for the follow-up governance issues, let the princes in the court have a headache. Don't take the counselor's money, but worry about the three princes' hearts.
Jia Xu fell silent, but Zhen Yu's excited voice sounded next to him:
"It's good to go south, my dear disciple, I told you that I know you there, and I'll be able to guide you."
Liu Jin looked at Zhen Yu suspiciously, "No, it's none of your business. Why are you always so excited?"
Zhen Yu didn't notice Liu Jin's strange eyes and continued to explain enthusiastically:
"There are Baima Qiang, Dazang (zang) Qiang, Longqiao Qiang, and Boshen Qiang in the south. I have been to their areas. I'm here, so don't worry."
"Master, are you always in the south? Do you have any old friends?" Liu Jin's eyes were burning with the flames of gossip.
"Old...??" Zhen Yu was stunned, and then his face darkened visibly, and he rolled up his sleeves angrily, "I'll beat you to death! Even my master dares to tease you, how can you do it?"
You bastard Li Yan, how can you teach him a disciple? Look what you have done to him. When I get back, I won’t be able to beat you to death.
"Master, please calm down. Master, please calm down." Liu Jin quickly comforted Zhen Yu. If he really wanted to use his status as master to beat him, he would have to endure it.
Zhen Yu was just showing off, and if he was willing to beat this precious disciple, he would still be beating Xiao Yanzi.
So under Liu Jin's sincere attitude, Zhen Yu took advantage of the situation and glared at Liu Jin to tell him to speak more seriously.
Liu Jin smiled and said, "No, no, no. Why are you so angry?" However, he still asked out of curiosity:
"Speaking of which, Master, when you heard why you were so excited about going south, you can't be bullied and want to regain your reputation, right?"
"How is it possible? When I saw something was wrong, I immediately ran away. I wanted to bully me and practice for another few decades."
Zhen Yu subconsciously retorted a few words, and then saw Liu Jin's widened eyes, and then realized that it seemed that he had said everything he should say and shouldn't.
Liu Jin was indeed shocked. What kind of person was his master? He was a master of learning from the Western Heavens. He was so frightened that he ran away. How wronged he was.
"Who? Who is it? Master, don't worry, my disciple will take you back. We have complaints and revenge, and we turned against him." Liu Jin's murderous intention surged. His master can bully himself, but others can't.
"No one, just a few...little snakes..." Zhen Yu's eyes flickered a little, but he couldn't speak clearly.
???
Liu Jin's forehead was full of questions, and his breath was messy. Are you kidding me? What kind of snake is so awesome, Teng Snake?
"Master, tell the truth." Liu Jin looked at Zhen Yu expressionlessly, if you keep talking nonsense like this, then I won't go south.
"This..." Zhen Yu hesitated, but his eyes swept over the others, and finally looked at Liu Jin, and chose to tell the truth. With his disciple and grandson here, no one else could take advantage.
"I once encountered an old wild ginseng plant in the depths of Minshan Mountain. However, there were several small snakes wandering around. They were extremely poisonous and very difficult to deal with. I tried my best to get close to them, so I had to retreat. .”
"Old ginseng? How old is it?" Liu Jin frowned. Why did this sound like a treasure from heaven and earth in myths and legends?
"I estimate that it will take more than a thousand years!" Zhen Yu looked a little serious.
!!!
Everyone's eyes almost popped out of their heads. Damn it, thousand-year-old ginseng, I'm afraid you can live forever after just one bite.
Liu Jin's frown deepened. Others didn't understand it, but he knew very well that the growth of ginseng has very high environmental requirements and requires a special environment.
The environment may not have changed much in three to five years, but what about ten years?What about a hundred years?What about hundreds of years?
Under the vicissitudes of life, what kind of ginseng cannot be turned into fertilizer?
Therefore, most of the time the millennium theory is just an attractive gimmick.
However, these words came from Zhen Yu, and Liu Jin could not tolerate disbelief.
Is there really an environment in the world that remains unchanged for thousands of years?
Or, just like the legend, Thousand-Year Ginseng can run away on its own.
"Master, are you sure that's ginseng?" Although Liu Jin believed his master's words in his heart, he still wanted to confirm again.
"Confirmed." Zhen Yu nodded solemnly, "The branches, leaves, and flowers are several times larger than ordinary ginseng. Even if they are a little far away, I will definitely not admit it."
"And I suspect that those poisonous snakes became so difficult to deal with because they swallowed the ginseng seeds."
"If I hadn't been busy studying Bai Yunyan recently, I would have dragged you out long ago, but it's not too late now."
Liu Jin was silent. As the southwest plate of the Great Qinling Mountains, Minshan Mountain is also called Shushan Mountain. Even if it is a bit mysterious, it is acceptable...
Whether it lasts a thousand years or not, you will know if you dig it out.
"Okay, in that case, let's set off tomorrow and cross Minshan Mountain."
Now that Liu Jin had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, although he originally planned to avoid Minshan.
Minshan Mountain stretches thousands of miles from north to south. It is still a bit troublesome to lead people through it.
