Congratulations on opening the coffin

The Nanyue Kingdom is bordered by the Xiao Kingdom, and is located in the south of the Xiao Kingdom. There is a lot of rain and lush forests. It is a country, let alone a large tribe.

Holding the passing jade plate prepared for her by Fengxi, she traveled unimpeded all the way, and soon arrived at the border of Nanyue Kingdom.

There are obvious differences between the borders of the two countries. On one side is a bustling and lively border town, and on the other side are scattered and sparse thatched cottages. A small river runs across the middle, which can be crossed directly by riding a horse.

As soon as she crossed the river, two soldiers surrounded her with long spears and asked in Xiao Guo's official dialect, "Who are you?"

She didn't panic, held up a jade tablet, and explained calmly: "I am a friend of the little prince of the southern country, and this is a token he gave me."

A soldier stepped forward hesitantly, took the jade token, looked it over carefully for a while, and then told his companions: "You stay here and watch, I will inform the general."

The soldier grabbed the jade token and ran away quickly. Shen Ruo sat on the horseback. The person behind him closed his eyes and leaned on her shoulder and asked, "The Nanyue people you said to help you were the princes of Nanyue?"

Shen Ruo was startled: "Are you awake?"

After all, she was about to enter Nanyue Kingdom, so she found a place where no one was around, and brought Xiao Chen out of the space. The two of them wrapped cloth belts around their waists to prevent him from falling off the horse.

Immediately remembering his question just now, she nodded, "You know that person, Qiao Ran."

Not feeling guilty about betraying her friend at all, she directly told Xiao Chen the information.

She originally thought that after all, he still needed to trouble him about the trade between the two countries, and there were some things in this trip that he couldn't hide from him, so she might as well just tell him, but she didn't see the person behind her, and frowned slightly.

After the two of them communicated in such a simple way, the soldier brought people over. The leader was wearing armor, but it was a bit worn out, but this could not conceal his upright and high-spirited spirit.

After several negotiations between the two parties, the other party led them into the border of South Vietnam.

The Nanyue Kingdom is very small, and may not even be as large as the entire Pingjiang County.

After only riding for half a day, they arrived at the capital of Nanyue Kingdom.

It can only be said to be a relatively simple tribal town. The houses are all stilted wooden houses unique to the southern region. The people's clothing is mainly dark blue and black. Similar to the Miao people, they also like to use silverware as jewelry. It is also a big reason for their poverty.

With the general leading the way, they easily met the king of Nanyue Kingdom. He was a very thin old man, wearing a bright yellow waistcoat that is rare in the local area, sitting on a rattan chair, looking sleepy. It looks like it will die at any moment.

There was a tall man standing next to him. He smiled and said, "Father has been feeling unwell recently, so I will negotiate with you two. I wonder what you two are talking about this trip?"

Time was running out, Shen Ruo didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "I need twin life Gu, you should have it from the poison king of Xiao Kingdom a few months ago, right?"

The real talker of Nanyue Kingdom was slightly taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't expect her to speak so bluntly, and then smiled and said: "Yes, there is, it's just..."

Shen Ruo asked, "Are there any conditions?"

He smiled slightly: "Girl, you misunderstood. Since you are my friend, you are naturally a friend of our country of Yue. You are just a small Gu worm. You will not be stingy when you need us, but..."

There was a pause in the conversation, and he glanced at the servant next to him. The servant immediately understood, bowed and left the main room, and when he came back, he was holding a small black box the size of a palm in his hand, looking ordinary.

After the eldest prince nodded, the servant opened the box, and inside lay a pair of blood-red worms lying motionless, looking as if they were dead.

Shen Ruo's tone remained unchanged: "Is this the Gu worm of the Twin Life Gu?"

"Yes."

The eldest prince looked at the box and sighed, "It's a pity that we don't know how to raise them. Three pairs have died one after another. This is the last pair."

Shen Ruo remembered that in the poison king's secret book she got, it was written that the same fate twin Gu is an extremely sensitive Gu insect, and it only drinks water without roots and flowers without soil, and if it is a little careless, it will piss itself off to death.

She nodded: "I understand, please give me the pair of Gu worms, if there is any need, I will try my best to help."

"Girl, you are polite. They say we are friends. Don't worry about such a small matter."

The eldest prince smiled and said that the servant closed the lid and handed the Gu worm to her without ordering.

The eldest prince continued, "Your friend seems to have been seriously injured, why don't you stay and rest for a few days?"

"Thank you, Prince, for your kindness. I still have urgent matters to deal with, so I will go ahead."

Saying that, Shen Ruo took a look at the King of Yue, then supported Xiao Chen and left without further ado.

Once out of the tribe, she tied Xiao Chen behind her again and rode away.

"There are people following behind."

After riding a little farther, Xiao Chen leaned on her shoulder and said in a slightly weak voice.

He didn't need to remind him, Shen Ruo discovered it early on: "It should be for the king of Yue."

Seeing that she knew what was in her mind, Xiao Chen felt at ease: "Where are you going?"

"Tianshan."

……

On the border between Nanyue State and Xiao State, there is a long mountain range that stretches thousands of miles, with an altitude of more than 6000 meters. It is regarded as a holy mountain by the people of the two countries, also known as Tianshan Mountain.

Among them, the most famous one in Tianshan Mountain is naturally the Tianshan Snow Lotus, which only grows here, and it is also a holy product for healing in the rivers and lakes.

However, such a rare thing is naturally difficult to obtain. She hurried to Tianshan Mountain, the sky was already dark, the forest was full of vegetation, and the howling of wild wolves came from time to time, which added to the danger.

Xiao Chen, who had fainted and woke up at some point, saw this scene, and couldn't help persuading him worriedly: "Should we wait until dawn tomorrow before setting off?"

But she didn't want to, but Shen Ruo still refused: "No, now is the best time."

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he happened to shake off those little tails behind him.

As soon as she raised her whip, the steed under her neighed and rushed into the forest.

"Besides, you can't wait that long."

After going up the mountain, as we went deeper, the surrounding forests gradually became thinner, from towering ancient trees to dwarf shrubs, and finally only sparse weeds remained.

The surrounding temperature also slowly began to drop, and even hoarfrost and white snow gradually appeared on the ground.

Fortunately, she had prepared warm clothes earlier, and after putting them on for herself and Xiao Chen, she walked a certain distance, but the horse under her finally couldn't hold it up, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Fortunately, there was thick snow under his body, and it didn't hurt to fall on it. Shen Ruo untied the rope around his waist, and hurriedly helped Xiao Chen up behind him: "Are you all right? Is the wound torn?"

Xiao Chen exhaled heavily, and shook his head: "...I'm fine."

Even though he said so, after being thrown like this, his face was devoid of blood, and the eyelashes were covered with hoarfrost. It looked like a fragile ice statue, which would shatter if touched.
