(33) Invitation from DeHeng
(33) Deheng's invitation
"What? Husband, you are not going to the front line anymore? Really? That's great!"
When Jiang Wendi heard Bai Yunqi say she would not go to Jiezhou for the time being, she was so happy that she immediately gave Bai Yunqi a fragrant kiss, and she stumbled on her.
Bai Yunqi smiled and picked up Jiang Wendi, generously accepting Jiang Wendi's passionate kiss. Then the rest of the others were one after another. With too many wives, it was indeed a bit time-consuming. The most difficult thing is to get the rain and dew evenly, otherwise someone would be unhappy.
After finally dealing with the nine wives, Bai Yunqi's hand had already climbed two unknown mountains irregularly: "Of course it's true, Jun Wu jokingly, will I lie to you?"
"What? You've been joking too much. You've been joking in the morning and you've left in the afternoon. It's not enough to be joking!" Xue Feihong said with her tongue.
"It's just... it doesn't look like the king of a country at all!" Shui Ruoyun also echoed.
Bai Yunqi glared at him and said, "It's enough for you to be your husband. Would you want your husband to bring the emperor's airs to you? Hehe, I'm afraid there will be nine more resentful wives in the deep boudoir like that!"
"By the way, my husband, why are you not leaving suddenly?" Liu Mei asked.
"I heard from someone I've been looking for for a long time, so I won't leave now!"
As soon as these words were said, someone suddenly knocked over the jealous jar. Xue Feihong said angrily: "Have you found your first love? Or is it childhood sweetheart? Humph, pervert!"
"No, absolutely not. The first love for husband is Yushu, a childhood sweetheart, don't you count it? Haha, you are so moved when you are young, and you dare to call him a pervert!" Bai Yunqi pinched Xue Feihong's chin and said.
Xue Feihong suddenly showed a shy look, but then she raised her head and said with confidence: "Hmph, that's not what you are like, you are so slutty. Who made you so young and so charming!"
There was a burst of laughter in the room, and Bai Yunqi smiled and said, "It's not bad, it sounds so comfortable!"
"You are so beautiful! You have made you successful, and I want to hear us praise you. If you get it, you will be good!" Su Xiangyun teased.
"Speaking of this, my husband, you haven't said who you are yet. It's important that you can prevent you from going to Jiezhou. We are all jealous. Everyone is worried that they can't stop you. This person told you not to go as soon as there was news! Humph!" Qingqing's face was obviously jealous, but her words also focused everyone's attention and asked Bai Yunqi to say it quickly.
"Okay, okay, don't shake it. I said I'm not okay! He was a man who bought a painting of your husband for ten million taels of silver. He asked your husband to meet in Feilong Mountain. You said that someone who waved out ten million taels of silver at will, so how can he not meet her husband and see who he is?" Bai Yunqi said with a gloomy face.
Several women immediately exclaimed: "Ten million taels!"
When they looked at each other, they seemed a little disbelief. However, Xue Feihong thought of something and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, when my cousin Xiangyun and I first went to buy your paintings, you even shot a flower gun. Eighty percent, it was something you cheated out of nowhere."
“Absolutely not…”
Before Bai Yunqi could finish his words, Qingqing interrupted Bai Yunqi and asked, "So, my husband, aren't you going to Feilong Mountain?"
Bai Yunqi looked at Qingqing's slightly excited expression, and his eyes understood: "What? Qing girl, do you want to go too?"
After being told about the idea, Qingqing immediately asked coquettishly: "Is that okay? They are in the palace every day, and they have to take care of those messy accounts every day. They are so suffocating. They should take them out for a walk occasionally! Is that good? Well..."
When I heard that I could go out for a walk, everyone was coquettish. The room was filled with coquettish voices. It was so ecstatic that it made people feel sober and comfortable. Bai Yunqi calmly closed his eyes and enjoyed the close-fitting and oriole voices of the women around him. The lower body actually responded. After a long time, he said: "Tomorrow is just going to see it. Because the appointment location was not very clear, I took you there rashly. If you encounter any danger, it would be more troublesome. So, when you figure it out, you will take you there later. There is nothing you can do about it!"
Everyone showed a look of disappointment on their faces, but they could only nod helplessly.
The sunlight spread everywhere, shining so that the clouds were as if they were inlaid with gold. The cloudy weather was still so gentle under the storm of the autumn wind. Six horses rode out their four hooves, scattered dust all the way on the avenue west of Duliang City, and flew away.
In the countryside, it is the autumn harvest. Many farmers in the fields are harvesting their harvest for more than half a year, cutting off wheat grass and putting them in their luggage. Although they are exhausted and panting, their faces are always filled with joy. This year's harvest is really good. Without the exploitation of landlords, as long as the year is good, these farmers' lives will be greatly improved in the coming year.
Bai Yunqi, Jie Dongshan and Huzi, the four guards, watched the scene all the way, and Bai Yunqi couldn't help but sigh happily: "Watching these farmers can live a good life and become stable and prosperous year by year, I feel that my original decision was not wrong."
Everyone else looked at the wheat fields in the fields, and their hearts were filled with emotion. Looking back many years ago, Hu Zi and others were threatened with death. They were breathing in the broken temple with their bodies, but now they are the commander of the Chinese imperial guards, and the first-rank guards with swords. The gap in life is so big that it is hard to compare. The most rare thing is that not only the lives of these people have been fundamentally changed, but countless people on this land of China can also achieve a stable and improved life year by year.
Compared with the four countries' annual wars and internal struggles in the past, there are too fewer wars now. The Later Wei has been recovered halfway, and there will be no more wars between the Three Kingdoms in the past. The Northern Qin Dynasty is expected to be expected. From the four countries split by the Later Zhou Dynasty, Bai Yunqi will regain its military power and concentrate its military power in the center. All disputes can come to an end. Only at this time can everyone truly appreciate the benefits of the unification mentioned by Bai Yunqi.
"Young Master, Feilong Mountain is ahead!" Xie Dongshan said, pointing to the mountain shape that gradually appeared on the horizon.
The white clouds rise and look forward. The mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles look up and down from a distance, forming a qi. The most rare thing is that the peaks to the east are not only the highest of each peak, but also look like a dragon's head. The two horns extending upwards are rugged and strange, which makes people sigh at the magic of natural creation.
To the west, an arc-shaped stone beam crossed the high altitude from the tail peak and hung in the air, like a dragon's tail, which made Bai Yunqi think of the idea of exploring the truth. He knew that in this seemingly a little far away, when people arrived there, they would find that it was actually a very large place. The hanging dragon's tail reminded him of the stone bridge extending across the cliff, but this stone bridge was only half.
Just from the two sides of the head and tail, you can know the reason why Feilong Mountain is steep. Because the mountain shape is too strange, just looking at the shape of the dragon's head and tail, you can imagine the dangers people feel when standing there, and you can also imagine the difficulty of climbing.
I slowly ran to the vicinity and realized that the shape of the mountain was even more strange. At first glance, it made people feel that this mountain could not be climbed. Who would have thought that upright peaks could be climbed? It was like an enlarged pagoda, which was too thin and too long.
But the manpower is infinite. Even Mount Everest was conquered by humans in the end. The horse was near and under the leadership of the locals, Bai Yunqi realized that although many peaks were difficult to climb, some people still found some less dangerous roads during the years of going up and down the mountain to exchange food for residents and hunters on the mountain.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already noon, and Bai Yunqi and others were not in a hurry to go up the mountain, because they could not figure out the road alone, so they just found a fifty-year-old man who was about to go up the mountain to have lunch first.
"Uncle, come and have a meal together! By the way, I would like to ask you about the uncle!"
The fifty-year-old man was carrying a lot of vegetables in his hand and a rope that was not long on his shoulders. His simple and unpretentious outfit was quite rural. At a glance, he knew he was a native mountain village old man.
The old man looked at the plates on the floor where the six people spread out were obviously carefully cooked dishes. He couldn't help but look at the few people, sat on the stone beside him and smiled: "No need, I have my own dry food. Are you going up the mountain? If you have any questions, just ask!"
The old man's smile was very cheerful, which made people feel gentle and easy to get close to. He took out a piece of dried meat from his arms and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Bai Yunqi had no choice but to walk over and hold the old man and said, "Come on, try it! Meeting is fate, let alone we need the guidance of our uncle to go up the mountain, so you don't have to be polite!"
The old man quickly smiled awkwardly before saying, "This... how can you be so embarrassed? Look at my body so dirty, the floor felt so beautiful, and the food is so good. If I get dirty, I would be so embarrassed!"
The six people were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they could tell at a glance that they were made of high-quality silk. Compared with the coarse cloth on the old man's body, it was really a big difference between the people in the city and the people in the countryside.
"It's nothing, uncle, just sit down and eat. If you don't eat, why are we so embarrassed to bother uncle!" Bai Yunqi said without saying anything, and his subordinates pressed the old man in front of the floor and sat down.
"Yes, uncle, just eat some food. In this way, we can help us guide us up the mountain and feel better!" Jie Dongshan also said to him.
After the six people's strong persuasion, the old man had to eat, "That's really a pity. I'm not polite to be a man in the mountains!"
"Uncle brought such a big bun of vegetables up the mountain, I guess he was from the mountain!" Hu Zi asked first.
Among the six people, Bai Yunqi reconciled Dongshan to dress up as a scholar, and Hu Zi and the other four dressed slightly simpler, and they could talk to the old man while eating and drinking.
"Well, I am from Beitu Village on the mountain. I came down to buy some vegetables yesterday. The mountain mainly relies on hunting for a living. The land is not good and I can't grow anything. I will come down once a week." The old man said.
"Oh! To be honest, uncle, we want to ask the uncle about a place!"
The old man nodded: "Tell me!"
"We would like to ask, is there a place called the Flying Dragon Ridge on this mountain?"
"The Flying Dragon's Ridge?" The old man focused his mind and thought for a while, but the answer disappointed Bai Yunqi and others: "I haven't heard of it, are you going there?"
"Well! Can uncle think about it anymore? One of our friends lives there, we went to see him!" Hu Zi continued to ask.
After thinking for a while, the old man said again: "I really don't remember this place. Actually, I don't know much about this. Feilong Mountain is not big but not small. I have never been to many places. Otherwise, you will go up the mountain in the future and go to our village to find hunters and merchants who often run between the villages and ask."
Feilong Mountain is steep, with seven or eight villages of all sizes on the mountain, far or near. However, because this is the place with the most wild animals within a hundred miles of Duliang City, many fur merchants often purchase some fur on the mountain, especially in autumn and winter, most people need to keep warm, and merchants come and go frequently at this time of year.
After thinking about it, there was only this way. After lunch and packing it up, the six people entered the mountain under the guidance of the old man. The hillside was really dangerous. It was almost rare that there was a slightly flat road, and many places had to climb up to pass.
"Look at your appearance, you are from the city! There are many jackals, tigers and leopards on this mountain. Be careful when going down the mountain and don't walk around!" The old man said while walking. He was about fifty years old and was carrying a large cabbage of vegetables. He was not very tired after walking down the mountain road for nearly an hour. It was obvious that he was used to walking, so Jie Dongshan would not be able to do it. If Hu Zi and his friends had not helped, they would have been resting on the side of the road long ago.
"Yes! Uncle is in good health! He has not been tired after walking for so long!" Bai Yunqi said behind the old man.
"I've been used to it for so many years. I'm a mountain person! You're not bad, but that person is a little different. Haha, these days, there are very few people who come out of the city to have such good health as you! By the way, there is a cliff in front to climb. Be careful. If you are timid, don't look down. It's still very tall, more than fifty meters!" The old man said as if nothing had happened.
In a blink of an eye, the cliff that the old man mentioned was approaching. Six people looked up, which was not high for more than fifty meters, but if one person saw it, it was really a bit high. It was at least ten or twenty stories high. Of course, there was no such high building in this era.
Jie Dongshan gasped and said, "Young Master, Dongshan is afraid it will be difficult for him to climb up. Why don't Dongshan rest here and wait until his legs are better before following?"
Chapter completed!
