Jin Renxuan paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
"We cannot interfere with the laws of the three states, but I think the poison is a thing."
Jin Renxuan's eyes darkened: "It should have been destroyed long ago! Nanzhao was divided into Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang. It was the poison of the Southern Xinjiang people that caused us Northern Xinjiang people to become vicious monsters in the eyes of the Seven Kingdoms since the Zhou Dynasty.
I really don't understand what the people in Shangsanzhou are doing. After hundreds of years, people's impression of us Nanzhao people has gradually improved. Do they want to make Nanzhao people the rats that everyone wants to beat again? And my first wife was killed by the poison! I hate this thing to the core. "
The man in gray sighed.
"It is said that the governor of Lu Yuezhou in Pingsanzhou strongly opposes this decree. I don't know whether it will be effective."
Jin Renxuan took over the conversation.
"Anyway, we in the Lower Three States have little influence, and the other two state lords have not submitted a memorial to express their objection, so we in Canglan State will not get involved in this mess. After eating, come with me to prepare the livestock to be traded. Take the ones from the state lord’s mansion first. If those people are reliable, then notify the people."
"Okay. God Wu Jiang bless us, and I hope that all of us Nanzhao people can survive this winter."
Five days later.
Fengjian Qingli and Xie Ling took 300 kilograms of fine grains, 100 kilograms of flour, and 100 kilograms of rice to Xiaozhoushan.
In addition to Xie Ling and the other person, there were also several soldiers disguised as servants.
Xiaozhou Mountain is a general term for several small hills on the border of Canglan Prefecture of Nanzhao, not just one mountain.
There are gurgling springs at the foot of the mountain and roads connecting the villages. Many people live and work in peace and contentment, living near the beautiful mountains and rivers.
After the locust plague, all grain was lost and many families moved to nearby counties to find work in the city in order to survive.
The weather was still very cold today, and thinking that they would be outside in the wind for a long time, Xie Ling and the soldiers were all dressed very warmly. Down jackets were not enough, so they also wore thick hats and gloves to keep out the wind.
But as they got closer to Xiaozhou Mountain, they felt hotter and hotter. Even the sky became brighter. The sunlight shining on the green leaves on the roadside made it feel like spring.
As they were walking, a soldier carrying supplies suddenly stopped.
"Brothers, stop pushing and wait for me to take off my hat. It's too hot."
"Hey, am I not the only one feeling hot? I thought I was just walking around hot, but it seems like this place is really hotter than Sinan."
"You think so too? This little Zhoushan is really strange. I felt hot as soon as I walked in."
"What's going on?"
Feeling that the convoy had stopped, Xie Ling pulled open the curtain of the carriage.
Feng Jianqingli, who was driving the horses, turned around and said, "They said it was too hot. We need to take off our clothes."
"hot?"
Xie Ling frowned.
Since the beginning of autumn, the word "heat" seems to be isolated from everyone. Now in Xiaozhoushan, everyone actually feels the heat?
"Then everyone take a break, drink some water and then continue walking."
After Xie Ling finished speaking, she glanced at the scenery around her.
This place is different from Sinan. Sinan has been cloudy for many days in a row, but here the sky is bright and sunny. You can even see a few wild grasses on the roadside, and the leaves on the trees have not completely withered. If it weren't for the whistling cold wind, it would really feel like spring.
It wasn't really hot, but the soldiers were wearing too thick clothes and had been walking for a long time, so their bodies felt hot.
But it is indeed much warmer than Sinan.
Xie Ling took out a temperature instrument and measured it, frowning slightly. The temperature in Sinan was about minus four or five degrees Celsius, while the temperature in Xiaozhoushan was around ten degrees Celsius.
Xiaozhoushan’s altitude is not low, so why is it so warm?
This is another phenomenon that cannot be explained by modern science.
Xie Ling was too lazy to delve into it, but just felt a little regretful that such a Feng Shui treasure land was not Sinan's territory.
Xie Ling looked around boredly, looking at the mountains surrounding each other, forming a semicircle. For some reason, it felt familiar.
On the other side, a few people drank some water, took a rest, ran deep into the woods to take off a few pieces of clothes underneath their down jackets, then held the cart's handrails and continued on their way.
The dry heat of winter will make the whole body itchy, as if ants are crawling all over. Some people would rather be a little cooler than experience that itchy skin feeling again.
After walking along the mountain road for about half an hour, we finally saw the river full of willow trees that the Lord of Canglan Prefecture had mentioned at the foot of the mountain.
The river water is clear and you can even see fish and shrimp swimming around. There are a few houses in the distance, but the doors are dilapidated and it is estimated that no one lives there anymore.
A dozen people were standing under a broken wooden bridge. Chicken coops, duck cages, pig carts, etc. were placed at their feet, and the sounds of clucking and cooing were noisy.
One chicken even "escaped from prison" and several people quickly ran to chase it, causing chaos for a while.
The soldiers stared.
I knew it was simple, but I didn't say it was this simple.
