Chapter 104: Are You Tired?
After Xinzhou, the temperature seems to have dropped slowly, at least hiding under the shade of the trees, and the wind does not feel hot at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wei's mother asked her mother-in-law to set up a large cauldron, boiled several large pots of hot water, and set aside a carriage for the masters to bathe. After taking a shower, everyone felt much more comfortable and in a much better mood.
The servants will wipe their bodies with the hot water used by their masters.
Because there was a small river nearby, the guards went to the river to bathe in twos and threes.
Although they camped early and delayed their entry into Beijing, everyone was able to take a bath comfortably, and there were no complaints, but after dinner, the three of them got together and chatted in a good mood.
There are no bandits in this area, and the guards can still change shifts and get a good night's sleep.
Mother Sun gathered together to talk in the familiar pile of several Wei Fu mothers-in-law.
“…… Fortunately, some guards found out early and felt that something was wrong, so they reported to their superiors. Then the guard station immediately dispatched people over, and also met our second young master coming back, with a few subordinates, and caught those bandits in a few clicks. Then the mother-in-law secretly glanced at Chi Langyi's carriage, and said in a low voice: "Although that son is good-looking and looks very good, it's a pity that he is seriously ill......"
"Ah, it's really fake, don't you see it?" There are doubts.
"Of course it's true. You didn't notice that we had been on the road for so long, and that we had never seen him come down. The woman said.
Others nodded.
"However, even though he was unwell, he was the one who took the lead in rushing into the courtyard to save the ladies of Taiyuan Mansion, fighting against a few bandits alone and beating those bandits to the point that they were powerless......"
"Eh, wait......" Mother Sun interrupted the mother-in-law and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that it was Turkic?" When did you become a bandit? ”
Several other people looked at her strangely: "Where did you hear that you are a bandit, when did you become a Turk?" The people in the guard have checked one by one, and they are indeed from my dynasty! ……”
Mother Sun returned to the carriage with a puzzled look and told Yu Nianniang what she heard.
"But the girl clearly saw the man's appearance, and he was a Turk."
Yu Nianniang frowned and pondered, she did see one of the people who attacked the courtyard, and it was indeed a Turk, but as for whether the assassin outside was a Turk, she couldn't guarantee it. Perhaps, there are also Han Chinese. But if he said this, the assassins were Turkic and Han Chinese.
If that's the case, I'm afraid things won't be as simple as you think!
***
The next day, the convoy set off early, and when it was about to reach Lanzhou, the road became muddy and difficult to walk, and there were mud puddles along the way, and several times the carriage fell into the mud puddle and could not pull up, and the guards stood in the muddy water, splashing mud before pushing several carriages out of the mud puddle.
Apparently it was raining heavily the first night!
The carriage was pulled and pushed, and the road, which was supposed to take less than an hour, walked for almost two hours.
The leader of the guards couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, he listened to Yu Nianniang's words yesterday and camped outside Lanzhou, otherwise the road was difficult to walk and it was raining heavily, and he didn't know what it would look like.
After several similar incidents, everyone no longer doubted Yu Nianniang's words, and Wei Hongfeng no longer blamed Yu Nianniang at every turn.
And Chi Langyi acted as if he never existed, and never said a word from beginning to end.
Later, as long as Yu Nianniang said to rest, everyone would stop and camp, and when she didn't speak, the head of the guard and others would arrange it themselves, and occasionally the guard would come to ask her opinion.
After a month's safe journey, we will soon arrive in Fenzhou.
Fenzhou is the hinterland of Shanxi, with Luliang Mountain in the west and the Fenhe River in the east.
Autumn will be in half a month, and the temperature in Fenzhou at this time will be more than 20 degrees, not too hot.
The topography of Fenzhou is different, the northwest is high, and it is mountainous; The southeast is low, and it is a plain.
When I first entered the southeast of Fenzhou, I was a flat river, and I saw rice everywhere, and I was golden and bright, and I looked at it from afar, and it was connected with the sky in a distant place, otherwise it was white.
Mother Sun and Linglong had never seen such a beautiful scene, and they couldn't help but sigh.
Yu Nianniang told Mother Sun: "This side is rich in grain and cotton. ”
The convoy headed northwest, passing through central Fenzhou, which is different from the southeast.
The central and southwestern parts of the country are severely deficient in water and ravines, making life even more difficult, and many people still live in thatched huts and straw huts.
Entering the northwest, the terrain is gradually higher, the peaks and peaks are upside down, the shrubs are reborn, and there are many forests, which is the branch mountain range of Luliang Mountain.
This piece is most famous for Yuanbao Mountain.
Yuanbao Mountain gets its name from one of the mountains that looks like an ingot, and there is a black dragon cave at the foot of Yuanbao Mountain.
The Black Dragon Cave has a legend dating back a long time. Legend has it that the Black Dragon Cave is a black dragon that is the true god of heaven descending to protect the people around the mountain to live and work in peace and contentment. Later, a monk who traveled outside the square came to this place, saying that this place is a treasure of feng shui, spent all his savings, and went around to build a black dragon temple by the mountain. The monks recite scriptures and sit in the temple every day, praying for the blessings of the surrounding people. Slowly, some people went to the Black Dragon Temple to offer incense, and later this Black Dragon Temple gradually became famous.
Strange to say, Yuanbao Mountain originally had a winding path, and the path went straight to the outside along the edge of Yuanbao Mountain. You can also enjoy the Black Dragon Temple built against the mountain from outside the mountain. However, the trail is narrow and bumpy, and if you are not careful, you may fall down the mountain. Although Yuanbao Mountain is not high, the woods under the mountain are dense and full of thorns, and if you don't die, you will hurt half your life.
Therefore, every time a caravan passes by, it takes four or five days.
Later, someone accidentally found that there was a passage in the Black Dragon Cave, the cave was deep, all kinds of strange stones and strange phosphorus, the road was uneven, but there was no need to worry about falling down the mountain, and the lanterns had to be lit during the day, not to mention at night, it was completely impossible to reach out and see the five fingers.
But it has a benefit.
As long as there is no accident and no delay, you can get out of the hole in one day, out of Yuanbao Mountain, very fast!
As a result, the caravan that passed by from then on gradually changed to the Black Dragon Cave, because the cave is deep and there are many forks, and if you are not careful, you will walk into the fork road and cannot turn out of it. Only the bold mountain bandits dare to rob in the Black Dragon Cave, so everyone doesn't have to worry too much about being robbed. But killing people in it is very convenient.
Yu Nianniang and her entourage of old and weak women and children could not pass by the trail outside the mountain, so as soon as they arrived at Yuanbao Mountain, Yu Nianniang asked Wei Qiyu to come over.
"Set up camp!"
Wei Qiyu looked at her stunned, along the way, he felt that Yu Nianniang had completely subverted his initial impression of her.
From the stunned and honest when they first met, to the later eavesdropping, cheekily telling their relatives in public; After the goal was not achieved, she was not embarrassed at all, and exchanged it with Chi Langyi with divination.
Then he relied on Mrs. He's little eyesight, trying to get in touch with the various prefectures and show off.
He never denied that he could survey weather changes from it, but the so-called unpredictable prophet was really ridiculous!
He was the same as Chi Langyi, and he didn't have any interest in the group of people in the Heavenly Dao Academy.
The calculation of the weather along the way did make him look at Yu Nianniang differently, so as long as Yu Nianniang said to stop and leave along the way. They are completely submissive.
But sometimes you can't go too far!
"Now?" Wei Qiyu glanced at the sky above his head and said uncertainly.
Yu Nianniang nodded.
"You mean we're camping here tonight?" Wei Qiyu really didn't know what to say, he had only been on the road for a few hours today, and when was he going to camp.
Wei Qiyu didn't understand why Chi Langyi, who had always hated Heavenly Dao, didn't say a word this time.
"Yes." Yu Nianniang said with certainty.
"Miss Yu, although you did surprise me along the way, it is only the end of the day, we can go into the Black Dragon Cave for a while, and then camp in the cave, so that even if it rains, we don't have to worry." Wei Qiyu said seriously.
Yu Nianniang looked at him: "There is no rain tonight!" ”
Wei Qiyu choked, well, it's a bit of a waste of effort to tell a person who knows the way of heaven whether it will rain or not!
"However, if we enter Beijing at this rate, how long will it take? You have to know how to be flexible in everything, if there is no big problem, even if it rains occasionally, it doesn't matter, after all, rushing is the most important thing. If you are worried that the cave is not safe, you can go out of the Black Dragon Cave overnight. "As long as Chi Langyi returns to the capital safely, nothing else matters.
Yu Nianniang looked at Wei Qiyu quietly, and when he finished speaking, she said with a concerned face: "Are you tired?" ”
The first update.
Tomorrow we will put it earlier, around 10 a.m. The second watch was still at six o'clock in the evening. (To be continued.) )
