"It's so comfortable, after eating fried silkworm pupae, drink a cup of black tea, which is the ultimate enjoyment of life..."

Yu Wuya was wearing big shorts and a vest, and after drinking a cup of hot tea, he lay on the mat and exclaimed repeatedly.

Chen Xu was dressed in the same outfit, lying on the mat, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, dazed.

"What are you thinking about?" Shui Qingrou knelt barefoot beside him, wearing a loose silk skirt, her hair that had not yet dried was slightly swaying with the night breeze, and her beautiful eyes flashed slightly under the moonlight.

"Time passes so fast, and it's mid-autumn again in the blink of an eye!" Chen Xu sighed deeply.

"Yes, Xianyang will definitely be more lively this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, but we can spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Hangzhou and visit West Lake to see the old place of Bai Snake. It is also a kind of joy!" Shui Qingrou said softly.

"My junior sister is thinking too much. The Legend of White Snake is just a mythical story that my benefactor reads from the Book of Heaven. There are no immortal grasses of snake demons and living dead people in the world..." Yu Wuya said with a lip silence beside her.

"My husband once said that when it is true, it is true and false, and there is no inaction. There is no place for nothing. Liegong also said that those who attain enlightenment in the world will not be born or transformed, and will last forever. Who can tell the truth clearly? No matter whether the Legend of the White Snake is true or false, in my heart, Bai Suzhen is a strange woman with flesh and blood. When I went to Hangzhou this time, I want to go to the ** Mountain to pay tribute!"

"I'll go with you then, but Brother Yu is right. This is just a myth. Don't take it too seriously. However, West Lake in Hangzhou is indeed beautiful. The Mid-Autumn Festival is the time of Qiantang tide. We can just enjoy this rare wonder of the world..."

Chen Xu sat up and held Shui's gentle hand and smiled and persuaded him a few times, then turned to look at Yu Wuya and asked, "Brother Yu, you sent the Fusheng Grass we left in the cave that day to Cuihua Peak, what do Zijin's elders say?"

"My benefactor, I almost forgot!" Yu Wuya also rumbling, "The Floating Life Grass is a spiritual medicine that is rare in heaven and earth. Only those with great fortune can meet it. Luo Shengtang has a spiritual medicine scripture, and the Floating Life Grass is ranked seventh, and it is the main medicine used to refine Peiyuan Dan. The Floating Life Grass you got is already ripe. Unfortunately, there are two fruits on it, otherwise the effect will be more than ten times stronger. However, Zi Jin's master said that when the refining is successful, you will give me a pill as a thank-you!"

"Then the relationship is good!" Chen Xu was so happy that he couldn't stop talking, "When can we practice well?"

"I don't know, I heard that there are still seven or eight herbal ingredients missing..."

Chen Xu:...

Damn, I heard that Peiyuan Dan only needs seven or eight medicinal herbs in total. With Fusheng Grass, there is still seven or eight flavors. Isn’t it said that there is no sting at all?

"My benefactor, don't be so frustrated. If Rasedo can really successfully refine one, you will have to practice the inner breath technique I teach you now, otherwise it will be no different from sugar beans if you eat it, alas!"

Yu Wuya thought of the Peiyuan Pill that Chen Xu had eaten, and couldn't help but sigh and glanced at Shui Qingrou. Shui Qingrou's delicate body trembled slightly, and shook his head softly and said, "Fusheng Grass is hard to get, and those two lost fruits should have been eaten by Wukong. Since Luo Shengtang has the method of refining alchemy, he will definitely look for the remaining medicinal materials after obtaining the Fusheng Grass. Maybe he will refine Peiyuan Pill in ten or twenty years. Therefore, my husband should practice hard on weekdays. At that time, he might have the chance to break through the state of innate enlightenment and enlightenment!"

Ten years and twenty years...

Chen Xu's face twitched slightly under the moonlight, and decided not to consider that far away for the time being, so he changed the question and asked: "Brother Yu came from Xianyang, have you heard some new news in Xianyang?"

Yu Wuya shook his head slightly and said, "After we went down the mountain to Qinghe Villa. We learned that you have been away for half a month, so we quickly rushed to Qinghe Town. In order to hurry, we rode the sweat-blooded BMW returned by Doctor Meng and Qifu Order. The sweat-blooded BMW was indeed very fast. We arrived at Lushan in five days. Then we found Fusheng Grass up the mountain, so we had to return to Xianyang to Cuihua Peak, Taiyi Mountain. It took more than a month to go, so we didn't have time to go to Xianyang to inquire about the news. However, when the housekeeper was about to leave, he stuffed some latest newspapers into the package. I went to pick up the benefactor to watch!"

"No need, it's getting late. Let's go down to get newspapers together. Brother Yu has been working hard for several days. Let's go and rest early!" Chen Xu stood up.

"Okay!" Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou both stood up.

It was late at night, and the three of them were still resting on the balcony. Looking at the entire Changshui County, it was late at night, and the lights were sparse, and only a few barkings could be heard occasionally, which showed unusual tranquility and serene under the cool moonlight.

Go downstairs and get newspapers.

Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Yu Ji, Xia Zijin and others have been sleeping for a long time. The entire post station is extremely quiet, with only a few lanterns emitting a faint halo under the moonlight.

But this kind of peace is just superficial. In fact, there are more than a dozen fully armed guards ambushed on the roof of the surrounding courtyard walls and attics, and more than a dozen live-fire musket team members, which only prevent the protection inside and outside the inn.

Chen Xu sat cross-legged on the cold couch on the second floor, carefully watching the seven or eight newspapers brought by Yu Wuya in the light of the oil candle.

As you like, read the front page news first.

In early May, Didao Hou Li Xin led a large army guarding the Western Regions back to the court to offer prisoners. Dozens of civil and military officials from three provinces and six ministries went out to greet the west gate, causing tens of thousands of people to cheer and watch.

The sixth Cuju League entered the second round. Luoyang Jufeng team, which participated in the league for the first time, advanced with the first place in Group C. The bookmaker gave him one or four odds for the top eight...

"Gentle, does this ruthlessness have a source?" Chen Xu pointed to the newspaper and asked about the gentle water writing on the desk writing along the way.

"Husband, this word is pronounced as **********, and gently pointed at the 'ruth' with your fingers. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The ruthless beast is a kind of ancient strange beast recorded in the Mountains and Seas. It was born in the underworld and was later imprisoned by the great god on Penglai Fairy Island. It looks like a cow but has four horns, with slender hair and a straw raincoat. It is fierce and cruel and likes to eat living people. It is similar to Qiongqi, and is one of the top ten ferocious beasts!"

"Haha, Luoyang team is named harshly, it seems that he has a great ambition..." Chen Xu smiled and put down the newspaper and picked up another one.

In mid-May, the commander of the Western Army, Jingwu Hou, returned to Beijing, and the court revealed that the Western Army was selling enamel equipment in a large-scale reselling of enamel equipment. The court was in an uproar. The court asked the court to dismiss the title and the military system accumulated a lot, and submitted a memorial to propose reform of the military system. The First Emperor asked about the relationship between the Zichen Palace and many nobles...

The Marquis of Qinghe sent an envoy to the capital to present thirty tubes of Ziyun Fairy Tea to the First Emperor, which attracted enthusiastic pursuit of the kings, princes, and ministers...

The Marquis of Jingwu left Beijing and returned to the Western Army camp. His nephew Meng Yun and Qi, and several senior leaders who were preparing for the Cuju League were separated from Beijing to serve in the Western Army. The Cuju world in Xianyang was in chaos. The Flying Team, Wild Donkey Team, Fire Team and other teams were facing disbandment. All walks of life in Xianyang were mixed, and countless people celebrated...

"It turned out that Meng Yun and the others joined the army. No wonder they had to return a few sweat-blooded horses to me!" Chen Xu suddenly realized when he saw this, but at the same time he was a little embarrassed and laughed. Countless people celebrated each other, afraid that it was not for celebrating that the group of playboys who were rampant in Xianyang had finally left.

At the end of May, the renovation and expansion of Chengnan Wharf was completed. The Ministry of Industry ordered the inspection and acceptance of the person. Chengnan Freight Terminal was officially put into operation. At the same time, the dock management company was officially prepared to register and manage all the ships in and out. The chaotic situation of the docking of the former dock has been greatly improved. The new gantry hoisting and unloading cargo is convenient and fast, and the cargo throughput is five times higher than usual. All sectors in Xianyang are also full of expectations for the Dongmen Wharf that is being accelerated...

The construction of Jingshi University is coming to an end, all buildings and halls are completed, and the final decoration and greening stage is underway...

In early June, the main building of the library was topped off, and the Avenue of Saints began to be built simultaneously.

In mid-June, the auditorium and the Chinese divine monument were laid...

At the end of June, the main body of the outpatient building of Qinghe Hospital was completed... The plan for the reform of Qinghe Hou military system was sent to the capital. After a few days of study, the First Emperor summoned Chongqing to report...

On the third day of the seventh month, the First Emperor formally ordered the world to start military reform. The new military system involved complexity, and the Western Army was the first to be affected...

It took half an hour to read the front page news of seven or eight newspapers, basically no unexpected major events, and the military system reform he was most concerned about was under control. Meng Tian and the Western Army were fined for one year by the First Emperor, and the military system reform memorial he sent back was almost fully accepted and implemented by the First Emperor.

"Huh~~" Chen Xu felt extremely relaxed in an instant.

Military system reform was almost the last and most important reform task for his reform of the Qin Dynasty. At this point, all reforms in economic, cultural, military and other major aspects were completed, and the rest were to make adjustments to achieve an ideal and perfect level.

If there are any reform tasks that have not been completed, it is the political system. However, this step is like walking a tightrope. If it is better, it will be ruined.

So in Chen Xu's opinion, whether this step or not does not matter to the overall situation.

What is important is that Daqin has already embarked on the road of enriching the country and strengthening the army with his strong push. With one year left, his main task is to promote the smooth road plan and then fully prepare for the disaster of the First Emperor's life. It is also a nine-year disaster for him. As for the rest, he can be abandoned for the time being.

But the newspaper was mixed.

There was no news about Li Shun's delegation at all.

Calculate the time, Li Shun has been on the West for more than two years. Daqin has been in contact with the Western Regions and even Dayuan. Some news from Dayuan can be seen in the newspaper, but there is no whereabouts of Li Shun's delegation.

Recalling the experience of Zhang Qian's mission to Dayuan and Daxia in history, as well as the current wilderness in Central and Western Asia, Chen Xu was very worried about the life of Li Shun's delegation, and maybe he was already in a mess.

Because the ghost place in the junction of Central Asia and West Asia has been in turmoil for more than 2,000 years, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran are all a group of fools, restless and unable to stop. Coupled with the interference of the former Soviet Union and Western countries, it is as good as a powder barrel that has never calmed down and has never calmed down.

The main reason for the uneasiness is the conflict between race and religious beliefs.

This area is very complex. Since ancient times, ethnic invasions and battles have been as refreshing as a lantern.

The Aryans in ancient Persia invaded Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BC, resulting in the fusion of Central Asia and Eastern European races, thus giving birth to the Slav race and the Caucasian race, as well as the Serbs of various tribes in the Western Regions, the Sogdians in Dayuan and Shule countries, etc., were all genetically modified products caused by the Aryan invasion.

The Aryans also brought about a religion, which was Zoroastrianism. As a result, Central Asia, West Asia and India officially entered the primitive Zoroastrian era.

Religion is a product of pure thought and has no use, but it is very bewitching, so believers will be more stubborn.

After the Aryans, the Persians rose strongly and conquered the Oriental Sage people in the fifth century BC, occupying large areas of the Daxia in Dayuan and the Indus River Basin. As a result, the light of the Persian gods began to shine on Central Asia and West Asia.

However, the Persians did not show off for too long. In the fourth century BC, another awesome giant called Alexander the Great came to Central Asia. He not only brought brave warriors, but also Greek gods. Faced with Central Asia and India ruled and influenced by Zoroastrianism, Alexander the Great forced the conquered nation to believe in Greek gods. This was the second religious impact in the region, which was later called the Hellenistic period.

But the Alexander Empire collapsed soon, and Central Asia and West Asia fell into chaos again. The Seeds, Darovids, Aryans, Persians, Greeks and other races of different beliefs live together in an intertwined manner. Under the influence of different religions, the Greek gods, Persian gods and even the native gods of Central Asia and India have been mixed together and played mahjong several times. After some new religions began to appear. Various gods and religions in Central Asia and West Asia appeared and merged one after another, thus giving birth to the most complex and entangled chaos in the Middle East in human civilization.

What Chen Xu didn't know was that because his little butterfly who had traveled through time flapped his wings, he actually drove the Huns and Yuezhi people to Central Asia a hundred years in advance. These two nomad peoples carried the hatred of destroying the country and the affliction of losing their homeland, carrying the advanced tactics learned from the Qin Dynasty like two mad dogs, armed the crappy saddles and stirrups, wielding their broken weapons, and trying to make a way out in this world.

Therefore, just as the Qin Dynasty made drastic advances in the military reform and the whole country was vigorously investing in an unprecedented smooth road plan, Western countries were trapped in bloody wars.

Kangju, Dayuan, Daxia, the poison of the body, and rest all involved.

This melee killed and injured more than one million people, with an impact of more than millions of square kilometers. It is the largest war in Central Asia in a century. The initiator was Chen Xu, the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty who was now holding the newspaper and full of worry.

If Li Shun's delegation cannot come back, he will have to wait a few more years to figure out the situation in the West. It is unthinkable to march from the Western Regions to conquer the West. No strong country can support such a long-distance military delivery for a long-term war. Then what can be done next is to accelerate the construction of the harbor and build a large number of sea ships to promote the advancement of the era of great navigation.

The night is like water, the bright moon is hanging high, and the oil candle has burned to the end. In the quiet night, the sound of Bangbang making updates came. It was already midnight.

"Husband, it's already late at night. Let's take a rest early and sleep. You have to hurry up tomorrow morning!" Shui Qingrou put down the brush in her hand and reminded her softly.

Chen Xu's face flickered under the faint candlelight.
Chapter completed!
