The Baizhen Dao Kingdom is located in the south of the Chanlai Dao Kingdom, bordering the Jingshan Dao Kingdom to the east and the Ganzhao Dao Kingdom to the south. To the southeast of the Baizhen Dao Kingdom is the border between the Jingshan Dao Kingdom and the Ganzhao Dao Kingdom, which is called Qinghe.
Therefore, if the Jingshan Dao Kingdom and the Ganzhao Dao Kingdom want to go to war, they will start from the southeastern gate of the Baizhen Dao Kingdom.
After entering the Baizhen Dao Kingdom, Fang Jian had to head east to the Jingshan Dao Kingdom. However, when he arrived in the Chanlai Dao Kingdom, Fang Jian had already sent people along the way to report the news that the case of Prince Yunhao had been solved, and directly to Yujing.
According to Fang Jian's calculations, the message will be delivered to the Yujing Council on the last day of the three-month deadline given by the Council, just within the time specified by the Council.
Moreover, Fang Jian was not afraid that the messenger would be killed, because Fang Jian asked Tai Su Daozu to help keep an eye on him. If the messenger's life was in danger, he would help him out of danger.
So the person who reported it might not even know that he had received the "favor of heaven" in such a short period of time. If he knew, wouldn't he go and get a powerful person from Qingjing to help him?
However, when the news reaches Yujing City, how the council will respond is not Fang Jian's business. He has already completed the decree under the council on time, and the rest is none of his business.
Moreover, with all this publicity, it won't be long before most of the Dao Court will know about this matter. Then we will see whether the Council Table can still protect Madam Yao Xing.
At the same time, Fang Jian's team had arrived in Gunzhou of Baizhen Dao Kingdom, and Yue Cheng, the Prime Minister of Gunzhou of Baizhen Dao Kingdom, came to pay a visit as soon as possible.
Baizhen Dao Kingdom was a third-class country, so although Yue Cheng was the prime minister of a state, his title was only that of a minister.
However, there was a person who came with Yue Cheng and had a high title. She was the prince of Baizhen Dao Kingdom and the niece of Taizong Daozun, the ruler of Baizhen Dao Kingdom: Zong Xi.
In the Dao Court, although the vassal states are divided into first, second and third ranks, the rulers and princes of each state are the same as those in the Dao Court. The ruler is the Dao Zun and the prince is the Shangqing.
Zong Xi had been inspecting Gunzhou these days on the orders of Emperor Taizong Daozun, so when he heard that Fang Jian was escorting 300 members of the Xiushi tribe to the Jingshan Dao Kingdom, he immediately became curious and came here with Yue Cheng, the Prime Minister of Gunzhou.
"The distance from Gunzhou to Jingshan Dao Kingdom is only 360,000 miles, but at your current speed, it may take more than a month to enter the territory of Jingshan Dao Kingdom." Zong Xi wore a crown on his head, a lavender black robe, a jade seal on his waist, and rode a dragon horse, looking heroic and dashing.
Fang Jian sat cross-legged on the back of the Heavenly Crane and said to Zong Xi, who was riding on the Red Dragon Horse on his left, "From what you said, it seems there is a shortcut?"
Zong Xi smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "There's no shortcut, but I do have a suggestion."
"Oh?" Fang Jian was slightly surprised, then he bowed and said, "Please give me some advice, Your Highness."
Zong Xi said, "I don't recommend you go directly to Jingshan Dao Country, but rather to the southeast, to Qinghe."
"Qinghe?" Yu Censhuang asked, "Is the prince asking us to go there to take the water route to the Pure Good Dao Kingdom?"
Zong Xi shook his head again and said, "No, Qinghe is not a river, it's just a place name. Qinghe is the only place where Jingshan Daoguo and Ganzhao Daoguo border each other. Now that the two countries have declared war, their rulers have all gone to Qinghe. So if you go directly to Jingshan Daoguo, you shouldn't be able to see Taixu Daozun. In Qinghe, there's a high chance you'll see Taixu Daozun. And if Qinghe doesn't have him, it won't delay things. Qinghe is not far from the capital of Jingshan Daoguo, it's halfway, so it won't be too late to go to the capital of Jingshan Daoguo then."
Hearing this, Yu Censhuang pulled out the maps of the various countries in the Dao Court from his memory, and then said to Fang Jian, "Sir, what Prince Zong Xi said does make sense."
Fang Jian heard this and said, "In that case, Yu Qingshi, pass the order down. Everyone in front will turn around and head southeast towards Qinghe."
"Yes." Yu Censhuang accepted the order and nodded.
At this time, Fang Jian said to Zong Xi, "Is Prince Zong Xi going to Qinghe?"
Zong Xi shook his head and said, "Warfare is dangerous, and my father and I will not allow me to go to Qinghe."
At this point, Zong Xi suddenly turned to Fang Jian and asked, "Captain Fang, did you see the wife of the king of Chanlai Dao when you were there?"
"The wife of the Chanlai Dao monarch?" Fang Jian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't seen her. We haven't been to the Chanlai Dao capital. Why?"
Zong Xi smiled and said, "The wife of the Taoist king, Ban Shu, is my aunt, and the younger sister of my father, the Taoist Taizong."
Fang Jian suddenly understood, and Zong Xi then said, "But my aunt is going back to Baizhen Dao Country to visit relatives in the next two days. One of the purposes of my visit to Gunzhou is to welcome my aunt."
"I see." Fang Jian nodded slightly. Zong Xi then said, "But I have met your mother, Captain Fang, the Taoist Taiyuan."
"Oh?" Fang Jian raised his eyebrows and looked at Zong Xi.
Zong Xi said, "Ten years ago, she led the nobles of Xuanjian Dao Country to visit my Baizhen Dao Country and discuss trade and friendship between our two countries. At that time, I accompanied my father and king to greet Taiyuan Dao Zun, so I met her."
Fang Jian nodded and smiled, "I see."
Zong Xi glanced quickly at Fang Jian, then lowered his head and said, "Captain Fang, I'm actually quite envious of you."
"Uh..." Fang Jian was stunned for a moment, then said, "How do you say that?"
Zong Xi said, "You have a good mother. I actually admire Taiyuan Daozun very much. She has a temperament, a kind of temperament that is hard to describe: cold, ruthless, and decisive! Captain Fang, I heard that you have only recently entered the Xiantian Wuji Realm, so you may not know some things. 'Yanzhou', where the Xuanjian Dao Kingdom is located, was very chaotic at the time. Not only were there bandits rife, but many of the most powerful villains in the First Purity Realm were entrenched there. However, after Taiyuan Daozun entered Yanzhou, she completely wiped it out in less than five years, established the Xuanjian Dao Kingdom, and flourished within a hundred years. Therefore, Taiyuan Daozun has always been someone I admire, especially when she came to the Baizhen Dao Kingdom ten years ago. I had the honor of seeking advice from her in person on the Dao. At that time, I was still a Daluo Jinxian, but after Taiyuan Daozun's guidance, I quickly gained enlightenment, and then in just five years, I achieved the Dao Fruit of the Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian."
