Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Although they said they were communicating, Yelu Zongwang spoke less and less during the rest of the journey.

Without taking the knockout drug, this guy would sleep for six or seven hours every day, eat when he woke up, and then go back to sleep after he was full.

Looking at him like this, Chen Lang felt as if he was seeing a college student who was just eating and waiting to die at home during the winter vacation.

At the same time, as we get closer to Shangjing, the surrounding environment becomes more and more lively.

"It's really comfortable to come to the north in summer." Chen Lang lay on the cart, looking at the blue sky and stretched comfortably.

Little Huihui lay at its feet, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.

This guy ran out of the camp to have fun a few days ago and encountered a pack of wild wolves.

It wanted to go up and "return to its roots", but was beaten up by the Wolf King. If the Black Ice Guard had not heard its howls, this guy would most likely have been bitten to death by the Wolf King.

After being brought back by the Black Ice Guards, the accompanying doctor in the team treated Xiao Huihui in the same way as treating a normal person, and actually cured it.

But physical injuries are easy to recover from, but emotional injuries are not so easy to heal.

Xiao Huihui was hit hard and started to play badly, just like Yelu Zongwang.

In order to appease it, Chen Lang refused to ride in Princess Yongjia's carriage, because Princess Yongjia and the palace maids around her were afraid of Xiao Huihui, so he chose a cart and sat with Xiao Huihui every day.

He Jinling, who was accompanying him, explained: "Although the Liao Kingdom is in the north, the climate is actually very good."

Since Yelu Zongwang gave up, He Jinling was liberated in disguise. He no longer had to stay in the car all day and could come out to get some fresh air.

He Jinling actually likes to be with Chen Lang, not only because Chen Lang is a talented writer, but more importantly, Chen Lang is Li Junhui's nephew.

There are only benefits and no harm in having a good relationship with him.

"Hmph, these lands are obviously ours!" Qu Huai'en snorted coldly and said, "My greatest dream in life is to one day be able to follow the army and reclaim this homeland."

Chen Lang sighed softly and said, "Such a beautiful scene, saying these words... is a bit of a spoiler."

"But you're right, this is our Han land, we will take it back sooner or later!"

He Jinling said, "Over the past few years, the Liao Kingdom, from the royal family to the soldiers, has been obsessed with pleasure, and its fighting power has declined significantly."

"This is also why, when we attacked Western Xia, the Liao Kingdom only stationed troops on the border and did not directly attack. Twenty years ago, this would have been impossible."

"Sending Yelu Zongwang back this time can further accelerate the internal strife within the Liao royal family. Once they are both defeated, perhaps we will have a chance to recover our territory."

Chen Lang smiled, pointed to a place not far away, and said, "Look at those herdsmen."

He Jinling asked, "What's wrong?"

"Although the royal family is corrupt, the ordinary people of Liao still look at us with deep contempt and disdain," said Chen Lang.

He Jinling sighed helplessly and said, "The royal family is in chaos, and the common people at the bottom are definitely not aware of it."

"They all think that the Liao Kingdom is still the powerful Liao Kingdom of decades ago, and that they can easily control our Great Yan Kingdom, so naturally they look down on us."

"There are even many Liao people who believe they are the legitimate rulers of the world, and that we are merely bandits from the south."

This view surprised Chen Lang, and he asked, "Is there such a saying?"

He Jinling said, "The second emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Emperor Shizong of Liao, received the abdication of the last emperor of the Later Wei Dynasty. He ascended the throne in Kaifeng, the capital of the Later Wei Dynasty at that time, with the ceremonial guards of the Central Plains."

"Because of this incident, the Liao Kingdom has always claimed to be the legitimate successor to the Central Plains dynasty, and we are the barbarians."

"And this land beneath our feet was inherited by them from the Later Wei Dynasty. It has nothing to do with us, Great Yan."

"Our Dayan cries of recovering lost territory are merely excuses for war."

Qu Huai'en gritted his teeth and said, "These Liao people are truly shameless. The Central Plains has been our Han land since ancient times. It has nothing to do with who they inherited it from."

"Only the Han dynasty is legitimate! Do the Liao people really have the right to call themselves legitimate?"

He Jinling smiled and said, "These are just for verbal battles. It's actually very simple to tell who is orthodox."

"Whoever wins on the battlefield is the orthodox one."

"We couldn't win before, and the Liao claimed to be the legitimate ruler, so we had no choice but to endure it."

"But I think this patience will soon be over."

Qu Huai'en said proudly: "That's inevitable!"

He Jinling did not continue what Qu Huai'en said, but pointed forward and said, "Young Master, look ahead!"

Chen Lang stood up and looked forward.

A huge city suddenly came into view.

After Chen Lang traveled to Dayan, he visited two large cities, Guangling Prefecture and Qinzhou Prefecture.

But these two cities are far less magnificent and spectacular than the city in front of us.

The city wall was built with huge bluestones. The height of the wall was nearly four meters. It did not stand straight, but was slightly tilted inward. There were also pavilions on the wall. Chen Lang even saw a team of cavalry patrolling back and forth on the wall.

"Is this Shangjing?" He Jinling swallowed hard, "I didn't expect it to be so majestic."

Chen Lang stood up and let out a long breath, "We're here now."

"I need to go change my clothes and slow down the convoy."

As a special envoy escorting the bride, there are dress requirements for formal occasions.

He Jinling also immediately ran back to the carriage where Yelu Zongwang was imprisoned and hid him.

When Yelu Zongwang learned that Shangjing was just ahead, he did not react at all and allowed He Jinling to stuff him into the compartment.

After Chen Lang changed his clothes, the convoy arrived at the city gate.

Chen Lang took the documents and went forward to negotiate with the Liao officials.

Although Chen Lang appears calm on the surface, he is actually extremely nervous.

After all, this is a handover at the national level. As someone who has never had any relevant experience, I suddenly came to this level. Any negligence may bring unpredictable consequences.

The Liao official who was responsible for handing over to Chen Lang carefully read the document, took out a seal from his bosom, breathed on it, and stamped it.

"Are you Chen Lang?"

Chen Lang was slightly startled, then he saluted and said, "I am Chen Lang."

The Liao official said with a half-smile, "Mr. Chen is a man of great talent and knows how to make money through business. Your emperor, for someone as important as you, didn't summon you to the capital for training, but instead sent you to suffer on the grasslands."

"What if I catch a cold and develop a chronic illness? What should I do?"

Chen Lang heard the threat in the other party's words, but he didn't care. He responded calmly: "I am not that weak yet. Thank you for your concern."

The Liao official raised his lip and said, "I wonder if Master Chen has ever heard of a book called Mo Yun Si Zhang?"
