The cold wind blew away the words. After all, they probably couldn't hear them from such a distance.

This absurdity ended here.

The world is peaceful now. Although there are no external or internal troubles, it is still necessary to make secret visits.

His current situation was indeed awkward. If things continued like this, he would soon become timid. After all, the protagonist had already appeared, and it felt like all the luck was turning to him.

He planned to leave the palace and go to Tianshan to see the place of martial arts.

If he insisted, no one would dare to say anything. Furthermore, the old men from the previous dynasty were quite quiet. Therefore, his decision to leave the palace was unanimously approved.

He left the palace, taking with him several civil and military officials.

Zhuge Liang and Xiao He, the two civil officials, would definitely be in charge of the palace. He would bring Wang Xuance and Liu Muzhi with him, while the military commanders would be Li Cunxiao and Yu Huatian.

It wasn't that he didn't want to bring Bai Qi with him. It was just that they were murderous by nature. He was afraid that if he brought someone new, he would cause trouble and come back, so it would be better to let those literary generals keep a close eye on him.

If we go out with him and something happens that requires fighting, he will be guilty of this for eternity if he takes action.

So he left the palace.

He held the invitation letter, while his subordinates held the tickets given to the guards by Qiu Chenqing. Now that everything was ready, they would select a few Ferghana horses from the palace, which were tributes from other countries.

Although it was a little off, it had been transferred there a long time ago and could ride as fast as the wind. He asked the informant in the palace and was told that it would take about ten days to get there from the palace.

It was said to be ten days, but after such a long journey, how could one not eat? So Zhao Xin had the horse attached to the carriage. It would give the horse a place to rest, right?

On the first day after Zhao Xin's departure, Zhuge Liang sat in the Qinzheng Hall, flipping through a memorial. He heard a report arrive from the other side of the border. There was a conspiracy of rebellion. Zhuge Liang dared not delay. He ordered the palace's best rider to gallop after Zhao Xin and quickly inform him.

Zhao Xin didn't mind hearing this. After all, there were several other generals emerging from the palace, most of whom were capable of fighting one against a hundred. He felt that pacifying Zhuge Liang might avert this disaster, so he let them do it without worry.

The main purpose of his trip this time was to go to Hanshan and Tianshan to recruit talents for the court, mainly those with great martial arts skills.

Those who are friendly to the court are even better.

After receiving the reply, Zhuge Liang was surprised by Zhao Xin's words, but since he had said so, he could only prepare for the battle with all his might, just like calling for the east wind.

Honestly, the estimate was a bit long. It only took less than ten days to reach Tianshan from here. And we were just enjoying the journey. It doesn't seem as dire as the court says. And the surrounding area doesn't seem to have been affected much either.

Besides, he had long been tired of eating the food in the palace, and now coming out could give him a change of taste.

What's the point of just going to Tianshan? There's still such a long mountain road to the top of the mountain. From this, he really saw what it means that the rich rely on technology, while the poor rely on mutation.

People like officials and rich second-generations would have hired people to lift it up and put it on a shelf, or even hang it up little by little with ropes.

But it’s different for the poor. They either have to walk up and climb up, or they have to kneel down to complete the whole distance.

He also opened his eyes that could discern people and scanned their loyalty to the emperor.

It is normal that many people are zero, because some of them are not from Qin. It is normal for you to come all the way from other countries and then come here to compete.

But as I was searching, something seemed wrong.

He didn't say anything if it was zero, but what was that if it became a negative number?

"What's going on?"

"Damn it, he couldn't help but say this."

When that person saw him, his eyes lit up even more. Perhaps he didn't see him, but just saw the civil and military officials behind him.

"Are you from a wealthy family?"

Zhao Xin looked him up and down, looking at him, all dressed in gray. Only the sword slung across his back seemed to have a certain brilliance, a faint aura of spirituality.

It was hard for him to walk all this way without anyone snatching the sword away.

"You think too much. These are all my friends."

The man sighed as if in despair, then frowned and pinched his nose tightly with his fingers, feeling despair about the long mountain road.

"I've come all the way from the Western Regions, and I never imagined there would be such a long mountain to climb. I feel like I'll die before I even get to the top!"

Zhao Xin had never been one to show mercy. So, without further ado, he parked his carriage at the foot of the mountain and rented a house from a family for a few days.

The five people followed the bottom of the mountain and slowly walked up the stairs.

This mountain is truly worthy of its name: Tianshan. The terrain is steep, and the higher you climb, the more suffocating and unbearable it feels. And down below, it's clearly a late autumn wind. It gets colder the higher you go, and there's even a hint of snow.

Your Majesty... I've read in books that the Tianshan Mountains are treacherous and the weather isn't good, so I brought some clothes. It's just as I expected, so everyone, please put them on quickly.

Li Cunxiao saw Liu Muzhi's thoughtfulness and quickly patted his shoulder. Perhaps because the force was a bit too strong, it attracted Liu Muzhi's angry glare.

"Sorry, sorry, martial artist."

Because these people did not delay and hurried to the top of the mountain. In the end, they all reached the top normally.

After seeing the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain, everyone sighed in unison.

Think of that mountaintop, planted with a swaying line of trees. A thin layer of snowflakes peeks from the small trees, creating a particularly poetic scene. And then there's a particularly striking building to the side: the Linglong Tower. Looking back from the Linglong Tower, towering palaces stand one after another. While not as magnificent as the Imperial Palace, each has its own unique charm.

Just after they took two steps, a few people appeared and stopped them.

"Do any of you have tickets? You can't enter without a ticket now."

They had already prepared the tickets. As soon as the guards said that, they all took out their tickets. Aside from the invitation card Zhao Xin had, the rest were tickets that his guards had brought with them.

"In that case, go in and someone will arrange accommodation for you."

That guard is quite a lot, you can invite him behind the back of the martial arts conference. He is either rich or naturally talented. How dare you mess with him? After all, he will be very rich and powerful in the future.

After all, those elders are always good at judging people.

He took a step forward first, and a graceful woman appeared from the exquisite tower.

Although they didn't understand why she was wearing so little in such a snowy day, the woman came to them with her collar and mirror on, and her two dimples on her lips made her look quite innocent when she smiled.

"Everyone, come with us. I will explain to you the history of Tianshan Mountain."
