He struggled to control his emotions and calm himself down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As if sensing his uneasiness, Tiger Jufeng patted him on the shoulder and gave him the wine jar.

Nong Zhixing poured himself several sips of liquor before he said, "However, as soon as I approached that place, I felt like I had entered a labyrinth. If I'm guessing correctly, there has long been a 'shang' - the most powerful barrier in the world that can control people's minds. ”

Hu Jufeng stood up at once, and said in a lost voice: "So...... Is the treasure map of the Pope's treasure tainted with the remnants of the Sanctuary really in there?"

Nong nodded.

In the hall, there was a sudden silence.

All that was left was the crackling of firewood in the stove.

Well, the snow falls, and the ground grinds.

Rustling...... Rustling...... Rustling......

These people are the South Vietnamese barbarians who sneaked into Siping City.

Zhongzhou and South Vietnam are bordered by the Shaochong Mountains.

Zhongzhou, occupying the most fertile plains in the north, is rich in products and has inherited thousands of years of civilization, and the emperors of the past dynasties ruled the country with literature.

South Vietnam, on the other hand, is located in the humid and rainy southern mountainous area, full of hills, high mountains, and rainforests and wastelands that have not yet been fully cultivated.

The people there lived with wild beasts, and they were in a period of barbarism that was not yet fully civilized, so they were called barbarians.

Although they often invaded Zhongzhou to loot daily necessities such as salt, tea, cloth, and porcelain, the emperors of Zhongzhou not only did not send troops to expedition in order to show their "king of the world" mind, but even opened several cities to allow them to enter and exchange daily necessities.

Si Binh City is one of the cities open to South Vietnam.

Although the South Vietnamese advocated force and eyed the delicate Zhongzhou, a battlefield would also cost them years of accumulation, which was nothing more than to get the supply of life in the year of famine. Since the necessities of life could be obtained through exchange and trade, there were no major wars, although conflicts continued.

When Emperor Gu Yu was in power, he had already seen this clearly, so when the new law was issued, several cities were opened to South Vietnam to supply South Vietnam's trade, and even after experiencing the "golden rice ears and golden blood" national martyrdom, the newly succeeded Emperor Jing Ping still continued to adhere to the foreign policy of the previous emperor, and did not completely drive out these restless South Vietnamese barbarians in the crisis of his country.

In this way, South Vietnam gradually accepted the civilization of Zhongzhou and the way of life of Zhongzhou.

People of the two nationalities began to live together.

In Siping City, if you don't check their genealogy, you can't tell who is a barbarian and who is a Zhongzhou person.

But there's always some restless heat in every place.

Some of the leaders of South Vietnam accepted the civilization and way of life of the Trung Thanh people, but also the greedy habits that came from their bones.

After the national death of "golden ears of rice and golden blood", their greedy habits began to fully explode.

They began to think about how to keep the fertile red dust of Zhongzhou for themselves.

On the one hand, they traded with Zhongzhou through normal means, and on the other hand, they accumulated wealth through extortion, extortion, and gangs.

In October of this year, Emperor Jingping hunted the Nanling Hunting Ground in autumn, and they even sneaked into Nanling City, wanting to kidnap the biggest financier in the entire Zhongzhou in order to achieve the purpose of obtaining the greatest benefits.

However, they overestimated their own strength too much, or they underestimated Emperor Jingping's pomp and defense ability too much. In addition to the 20,000 Lin Tianjun who defended the entire Shaochong Mountain within a radius of five miles, there were hundreds of brave and warlike guards.

They don't have a chance to get close at all.

In the autumn of this year, all they could do was to stand outside Nanling City, look at Emperor Jingping, hold a huge autumn hunt in Shaochong Mountain, and then return to the imperial capital Tianzhong.

They are not reconciled.

They really weren't reconciled.

However, there is no way.

All they can do is complain about the heavens and people in this house located in Siping City.

As the leader of the kidnapping group, the most famous warrior in South Vietnam, Tiger Zaimei could not let go of his pride and self-esteem.

He had already boasted to the sons of South Vietnam that he would use his sword to bring tea and gold and silver to the people of South Vietnam.

If you return empty-handed, you will not be able to meet your people in the future.

Therefore, they lurked in Siping City, which is separated from Nanling City by a river, while doing some other small and profitable business, while waiting for the opportunity to make a fortune.

Hard work pays off.

The opportunity has finally arrived.

By chance, Hu Jumei heard such a news: two years ago, when the red-clothed Prime Minister Mansari went to the imperial capital from the Western Holy Land, he carried a suitcase.

Later, Mansari entered the imperial capital and became the emperor's teacher, and then founded Tianyi and became the red-clothed lord of Zhongzhou.

However, no one in the imperial capital saw the box again.

It is said that the box was left by him in Siping City.

Because when he came to Zhongzhou from the Holy Land by water, the first stop he stopped was Siping City.

I don't know if the red-clothed Prime Minister Mansari remembered this first trip to Zhongzhou deeply, or felt that the people here were available, and on the day he became the emperor, he sent people to build a church in the center of Siping City, the post station where he had stayed, Tianyi Hall.

Nominally, it was to convey his teachings of the Heavenly Realm, but in reality, it was to store the chest he had brought from the Sanctuary.

Some people say that the box contains his Tianyi classics.

Some say that the chest contained armor with a powerful defensive barrier given to him by the Pope.

Others said that the box contained only a change of clothes for him.

However, the most widely circulated case is that the box contained a treasure map left behind by the previous pope.

-- Eight years ago, in the Sanctuary, the Pope died suddenly, and his younger brother succeeded him as Pope.

- Although the new pope has won the support of the people after he succeeds to the throne, he still arouses the suspicion of some of the Protectors of the Sanctuary.

-- Several palace masters of the Zodiac of the Sanctuary even rebelled, trying to use the huge wealth left by the previous pope to recruit troops to force the palace.

However, when they took advantage of the right granted to them by the previous pope to enter the study of the Papal Palace to open the papal treasury, they found that the books that recorded the papal treasury were missing.

Later, they learned that Mansari, who was only a minor bishop under the Sacred Domain's twin wombs at the time, had secretly stolen the Secret Archive and escaped from the Sanctuary.

As a result, the rebellion, which had not yet been carried out, was strangled in its cradle.
