Chapter 308: Chance Encounter with Ting Wei (Second Watch)
The fine grass warbler chirped, the breeze blew on the bank, Chaoxi and Shang Jue came out of the small courtyard of the farmhouse, one person and one horse, walked along the path by the river towards the upper reaches of the river, walked out of half a mile, Shang Jue looked at the murmuring river water and pointed, "Look-"
Chaoxi turned his eyes to look, first he just saw the sky and clouds reflected on the river, and then he looked carefully, only to see that there seemed to be something floating on the river, his eyes were extremely lucky, and he saw it clearly, "That's ...... Peach Blossom?"
Shang Jue smiled and nodded, " The name of this river is Yue River, but the wine produced here is called peach blossom brewing, even the fish in the river is also called peach blossom fish, the origin is the peach blossom dock in the upper reaches of this Yue River, before the establishment of Dayin, this Baling is not called Baling, this city is not on the existing city address, at that time there is an ancient country here, it is a branch of the Wu clan, the empress hated the Wu clan when she beat the world, naturally it is to destroy here, the empress personally brought people to fight over when the king of the ancient country was martyred, and its queen also jumped from the city tower to martyrdom, it is rumored that the queen loved the peach blossom in front of her, and the king ordered the craftsman to plant the peach blossom that is not thanked all the year round, and the peach blossom was originally just pink and white, but after that kingdom martyrdom, the peach blossoms here turned blood-red. ”
"The empress wiped out all the witch people of this ancient country, and even the city site was destroyed by fire, and then the city became a ruined wall, a few years later, the peach blossoms grew between the ruins and broken walls, and the peach blossoms grew more and more, and they spread to the side of the river, and after so many years, after Baling built the city, the Shu kings of the past dynasties cultivated fertile land to develop agriculture, and the peach blossom dock was destroyed several times, and now only a piece of the river is left, and the peach blossom dock is also circulated among the people, and it is not visible in the eyes of the nobles. ”
Thinking of a glance on the surface of the Shicai River, I remembered that the peach blossom color was indeed unusual.
Thinking so, she paid attention to the surface of the river again, and sure enough, the more she went upstream, the more petals she could see flowing downstream, some petals were blocked by the aquatic plants by the river, and occasionally saw the river fish gushing out and eating the peach petals. ”
Shang Jue and Chaoxi beat the horse and walked forward slowly, and it was very good to be able to speak without hurry, "That's right, when the Wu clan was strong, it never had the heart to establish a country, and this one here said that it was an ancient country, but it was almost equivalent to the ancient city." ”
As they spoke, the two of them had moved away from the country village, and glanced around, "Have you been here?"
Shang Jue raised his eyes, and shook his head again before he could speak, "No, you can't have been here, I know your whereabouts after you came to Baling, you can't go out of the city alone to come to such a place, in this case, how do you know this place and how do you know the road here?"
Shang Jue looked at Chaoxi with a smile, and said without thinking, "I have seen ...... in my dream."
This is clearly coaxing her, snorting day and night, the horsewhip flung forward, seeing her playing the horse in front, Shang Jue also shook the horsewhip, the two of them one after the other, on the grass gentle slope by the river for a while, the two came to this countryside is secluded, and then go upstream to cross the river is even less people, here is everywhere native, no village people do not see cattle and sheep, the inaccessible is a little desolate, all the way to a gentle slope, looking at Shang Jue who is about to catch up, the body is short and clamps the horse's belly, the horse whip falls faster and more urgently, Shang Jue saw this eyes slightly bright, slightly behind her half a point to catch up!
Chaoxi originally wanted to run on the gentle slope earlier than Shang Jue, but when the horse went to the top of the slope, she was shocked by the prospect, the green grass on the gentle slope was like a green carpet, like a green carpet spread down, at the end of the green carpet, a bewitching and strong red glow is safely falling on the edge of the river, scorching peach blossoms, like fire like a rouge, Shang Jue said that the peach blossom dock, arrived!
The neighing sound of the horse, Shang Jue followed slowly behind, he and Chaoxi stayed on the top of the slope together, and also looked at the peach blossom forest below, compared to the pure joy and shock in Chaoxi's eyes, Shang Jue's eyes were more deeply moved, he looked at the peach forest and then looked at the Chaoxi around him, today's morning and evening are still red skirts and black hair, as if the goblins born in the peach blossom forest.
The corners of Chaoxi's lips raised slightly, a rare smile became bright, and she glanced at Shang Jue, her horsewhip fell and hit the horse down towards the peach blossom forest below, Shang Jue followed behind, and the two of them arrived in front of the peach forest one after the other, and slowed down the speed of the horse every day, Shang Jue also slowed down and ran parallel to her, and raised her chin again, "Go in and have a look." ”
Riding a horse into the forest day and night, she saw the red peach blossoms, which were the first time she had seen them, and it was really in response to the rumors that Shang Jue said on the road when he came, "No one knows about such a place." ”
Sighing leisurely, Shang Jue smiled, "This place is too secluded, and there is only this peach forest, there is no other scenery around the square circle, except for us who have come to see, few people have come here specifically." ”
Chaoxi shook his head, "Don't literati know that they love such scenery with infatuation legends?"
The scenery is pleasing to the eye, and if there is a poignant legend, it is even more unforgettable.
Shang Jue smiled slightly, "A hundred years ago, the peach forest here stretched for ten miles, and it might have become a good place, but now it is not a good place, not to mention, this was once a place of the Wu people, but no one dares to chant poetry here." ”
I haven't forgotten this, it's just that the Wu clan is too far away, "That's it, since this is the ancient country of the Wu clan, I don't know how many dead souls are here, so it's good, it's also very good for those of us in the future to stay here quietly." Then he glanced at Shang Jue, "What you said about the martyrdom of the king and queen is true?"
Shang Jue nodded, "Naturally, it's true." ”
Seeing Shang Jue's determined attitude, she was a little surprised, she thought that Shang Jue would tell the story poignantly than believe it was true, who knew that he was so sure as if he had been there in person, "It is a woman who is martyred, but it is possible." ”
Hearing her say this, Shang Jue frowned, "What do you mean by this?"
This peach blossom is in full bloom, as soon as the breeze comes, there are petals falling one after another, and the morning and evening raised his eyes to look at the flower branches above his head and said slowly, "The woman is amorous and infatuated, if this matter is replaced by the queen's death, then the king will be martyred for it?"
Chaoxi's voice was slightly cold, Shang Jue couldn't help sighing, "I also thought that maybe there are more infatuated women in the world than infatuated men, but there are not no infatuated men, such as the ...... in front of you."
Before he could say two words, he boasted about it, and Shang Jue glanced at him and urged the horse to go deeper into the peach forest.
The nose end of the flower fragrance is faintly floating, the water is murmuring in the ears, the sea of flowers seen in the eye is more like a gorgeous glow, swaying in the forest day and night, and it will turn to the end of the peach forest in a short time, as Shang Jue said, the peach forest here has been destroyed for the most part, the end of the peach forest is a few gentle slopes, occasionally see some mulberry fields on the gentle slope, between the clear water and green mountains, this peach forest is brilliant but lonely.
Staying on the horse day and night, a little lonely sighed, as if he hadn't seen it yet, Shang Jue was standing beside her, looked at her twice, and suddenly leaned over to her, and was stunned for a while, but saw Shang Jue's hand brushing past the top of her hair, and then there were a few peach blossoms lying in the palm of her hand, Shang Jue spread the peach blossoms in the palm in front of her, "I can get the first beauty in the world to sigh, these souls are enough." ”
Listening to this compliment, the corners of his lips were slightly curved and he was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly swept to a figure, and a person first appeared on the sheep intestine path in the direction of Sangtian outside the peach forest, and then more people appeared, and what surprised Chaoxi even more was that among the figures that appeared, in addition to Fulan and Zhan Jiucheng, there were ...... Sun Zhao!
Chaoxi blinked, almost suspecting that he had seen it wrong!
At the same moment, Shang Jue also noticed the movement over there, the location of this peach forest is very remote, and no one will come easily, and Fu Lan and the others were left at the side of the farmhouse courtyard earlier, they should still be fishing and playing at this time, why did they appear here in a good manner?!
Chaoxi and Shang Jue glanced at each other, both of them were surprised, Chaoxi didn't say more, the horsewhip fell and rushed towards the people in the distance, Shang Jue in the back slowly put the peach petals in the palm of his hand into the cuffs, and then he raised the whip and followed, and before he got closer, he heard Fu Lan shout loudly, "You guys are here, it's a coincidence, just now I met Lord Tingwei! Let's follow Master Tingwei to see how he investigates the case, do you want to come together?"
Frowning day and night, Sun Zhao's investigation of the case has come here?
