Origin

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Zhu Qianwei was very frightened, "Thank you for your wrong love, but I am so immoral and incompetent that I am afraid it will be difficult for me to hold a big position."

"You don't have to say whether you can take on a big responsibility," Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile, "I have the final say."

"Your Excellency and I are strangers, and we met by chance. Why do you think so highly of me?" Zhu Qianwei was puzzled.

"Are you really ignorant, or are you asking knowingly?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I really don't know." Zhu Qianwei shook his head.

"Why did you save her?" Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the sleeping baby.

Zhu Qianwei sighed and did not answer.

Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Kai Xi is dead. You should know that there is no reward for saving his daughter."

Zhu Qianwei still didn’t answer.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "You know that there is no reward for saving this baby girl, but you still sacrifice your own life and that of your family. What motivates you to do this?"

Zhu Qianwei closed his eyes and shook his head.

"It's loyalty," Wu Zhongyuan said seriously, "This is why I value you. Do you need other reasons? If necessary, I can continue to list them."

Zhu Qianwei shook his head, "Your Majesty, you are serious. Your Majesty is kind to me. If it were other ministers, they would do the same."

Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "What are your plans next?"

"I want to go back to Wei City." Zhu Qianwei said.

"What are you going back to do?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. Zhu Qianwei said he was going back to Kaicheng, not to Kaicheng. This meant that he didn't want to live in Kaicheng with his baby girl, but just wanted to go back and deal with some things.

"My family is still there. If they are still alive, I want to take them away." Zhu Qianwei paused for a moment before saying, "Since the Southern Wasteland has become a land full of eggs, I still want to take them away." Let some clan members go, if they are attached to their homeland and don’t want to leave, then that’s up to them.”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly.

Zhu Qianwei said again, "If you are sure that the third lady has been bewitched by the evil spirit, you might as well let everyone in Kai City know about it, so that more people can follow us north."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded again,

He had originally planned to do this. The reason why he asked Qi Tong and others how many days it would take to get back to Kai City was to get there before they returned to Kai City. If Qi Tong and others went back first, they would be alerted. .

Seeing that Zhu Qianwei stopped talking, Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile, "How much do you know about me?"

Zhu Qianwei didn't understand why Wu Zhongyuan asked this question. He pondered for a while before speaking, "Your Excellency is a dragon and a phoenix among men, your father is the great Wu of the Bear Clan, and your father is a nobleman of the Bird Clan. Because he has the blood of the two clans, he is not favored by the Bear Clan." As a result, because of your high martial arts skills and clear grievances, the three tribes of the Middle Earth did not dare to offend easily, so they had to offer six walls to support you."

"What else?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Your Excellency is the Jiuyang Wizard and a person favored by Heaven." Zhu Qianwei said again.

Wu Zhongyuan smiled and nodded, "At this time, many tribes from the four directions have moved to the Middle Earth. There are many people from the three tribes who have moved to China. There are also many people who have moved to Yuancheng, which I belong to. If you go, I will make arrangements for you properly. I won't disturb the people. levy taxes.”

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Zhu Qianwei's face showed relief, "Thank you for your tolerance, sir, but since you are seeking asylum, you can't go empty-handed. You must know that Wei City is good at drying salt. Summer and autumn are the seasons for drying salt. At this time, the city stores A large amount of white salt has been collected, and the three basements are full. Each basement stores no less than 10,000 kilograms of salt. On this trip north, I should take all this white salt with me as a contribution."

"Very good, very good!" Wu Zhongyuan did not hide his joy. He was currently worried about the salt. If he could really take the salt away, it would not only solve the urgent need, but also have enough salt reserves. That would be 30,000 kilograms. , as long as it is stored properly and used sparingly, it can be eaten by the people of the Yuancheng city it belongs to for many years.

"Without further delay, let's leave as soon as possible," Wu Zhongyuan stood up, "Please pack up and pack everything tightly, and we'll be on our way immediately."

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Zhu Qianwei looked at him doubtfully.

Wu Zhongyuan explained, "The carriages and horses are slow. I will take you southward in the sky. If you leave now, you can arrive at sunset."

"How can I bother..."

Before Zhu Qianwei could finish speaking, Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and interrupted him, "Let's get ready. It's very cold when traveling in the air, so wrap up tightly."

Zhu Qianwei nodded in agreement and began to prepare. There were some simple beddings under the cliff. He had spiritual energy cultivation and could resist the cold to a certain extent. He wrapped these beddings around the baby.

They were ready and left immediately. Although Wu Zhongyuan had the cultivation of living in the mountains, it was still difficult to rely on his spiritual energy to support the two of them, so he could only summon and wear the Azure Dragon Armor.

However, he did not fly very fast after taking off. Although the baby was wrapped in thick quilts, there was always a gap left for her to breathe. If she moved too fast, cold air would blow in through the gaps.

Soon after taking off, Zhu Qianwei noticed that the third master was flying not far to the right of the three of them. Since his speed was not very fast, he could still speak calmly, "Sir, look here, that thief has been peeping at the side."

"It's not a crow." Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile, it was his third master who was divinely appointed to fly with him.

Although Third Master was surrendered by Wu Zhongyuan, his consciousness was not suppressed. Hearing Zhu Qianwei call him a thief, he was very displeased and even said that he would blind your eyes.

Since Zhu Qianwei called the third master a thief, he naturally had a certain understanding of it, and he was not surprised to hear it speak human words, "This thing is very naughty, looking for trouble and making trouble out of nothing."

Wu Zhongyuan smiled. The third master had purposely led him to the trap that Zhu Qianwei used to deal with the Horned Dragon Halberd. Since this guy knew the trap mechanism, it meant that it was also present when Zhu Qianwei set up the trap. , given its nature, it is definitely causing trouble rather than helping.

Hearing Zhu Qianwei say that it was naughty, the third master started to curse again, but he stopped after only a few curses. It was not because it stopped on its own initiative, but because Wu Zhongyuan sent his mind to order it not to insult Zhu Qianwei.

Although the third master obeyed Wu Zhongyuan's order, he was full of dissatisfaction. Wu Zhongyuan's intention was not to let him curse, but he did not make him shut up, so he vented his dissatisfaction with strange barks. Don't blame Zhu. Qianwei calls it the thief crow. This guy does sound a bit like a crow. In fact, the original sound of birds like myna is also like a crow.

After stopping to rest midway, San Ye ran away again. Unlike Dasha and Huang Mao'er, its thinking was more complicated. Unless Wu Zhongyuan gave it a specific order, it would still have its own original thinking.

Seeing that the third master had disappeared, Wu Zhongyuan sent his mind to call it back. Before that, he had sensed the third master's emotions and had a certain understanding of its temper. To put it mildly, this guy was unruly. The ugly thing is that it acts wantonly. It has no human moral cultivation and only acts based on instinct. It is its instinct to pick fights and cause trouble. This is a bit similar to the second child, but the second child is just cheap and likes to cause trouble, while it likes to do Bad people make fun of people. To put it bluntly, they do all kinds of evil.

It is said that the wife is someone else's friend, and the child is one's own. The third master has now been surrendered by Wu Zhongyuan and has become his retinue. Subconsciously, he regards the third master as his son, but this guy is an out-and-out The treacherous son gave him a lot of headaches. He would shit on him when he wasn't paying attention. The slaves were absolutely loyal to their masters, but absolute loyalty did not mean that they would not play tricks on Wu Zhongyuan.

In desperation, Wu Zhongyuan could only give it specific instructions to prevent it from peeing on him. The third master strictly followed it and peed it into his quiver instead.

Wu Zhongyuan lowered it because he wanted it to act as a herald. When Zhu Qianwei was changing the baby girl's diaper, he tried to give instructions to the third master and practice. What he sent to the third master was "Come and see me immediately." Me", but the third master shouted, "Come over and see Lieer immediately."

"You can't call me Lie'er. That's insulting me. You have to call me Sir," Wu Zhongyuan said, "Come on, say it again."

"Come here and see your lord immediately." The third master parroted.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "That's right this time."

"Why should I listen to you?" Third Master wondered.

"You should listen to me." Wu Zhongyuan said.

The third master couldn't figure out why he subconsciously obeyed Wu Zhongyuan and tilted his head as if thinking.

After a short rest, Wu Zhongyuan once again asked Zhu Qianwei and the baby to go on the road. On the way south, he did not have much conversation with Zhu Qianwei. Instead, he kept sending his thoughts to the third master to formulate rules. The third master was absolutely obedient to him and would know the rules. Strictly implement the instructions he gave, but if there is something he didn't expect or didn't explain, Sanye will be free to act according to his own behavior.

Wu Zhongyuan added one as he thought of it. The rules he formulated did not suppress or restrain the Third Master's nature, but only strengthened the Third Master's obedience to him and his firm execution of his instructions. As for how the Third Master treats outsiders, He didn't put many restrictions.

Seven or eight rules, large and small, were formulated. I thought they were enough, but suddenly I remembered something and hurriedly added another one, that is, when transmitting messages, no deletion or tampering should be allowed, and there should be no false transmission of imperial edicts, beacon fire and drama between princes. class situation.

At sunset, the three of them arrived near Kaicheng...
