See you at 250 clouds
After resting in Black Wind City for a few days, everyone went on the road together, and rushed to Yingxue Palace according to the previous agreement with Lu Xue'er.
The carriage was heading north, and everyone was gathered together, and there was no hard task ahead, so they were all relaxed.
Zhan Zhao leaned in the carriage, holding a file in his hand and reading it, with the little fourth son lying on his belly.
Xiao Sizi was propping up the floor of the carriage with both hands, lying on Zhanzhao's belly, doing push-ups, pouting his ass and looking a little funny, but he was doing it very seriously.
Speaking of which, why did the little fourth son do this? Stemming from a small episode that happened not so long ago.
When Zhao Pu was idle, in addition to teaching Xiao Liang martial arts, he also taught him some military books and battle strategies, and asked him to follow Gongsun to memorize a little subset of scriptures and history, and don't think about practicing all day long.
But Xiao Liangzi's personality is like a little wolf cub, he is very active and not quiet, and he thinks it is more interesting to learn kung fu, so he sneaks away to practice and does not read the military book.
So, Zhao Pu played a little game with Xiao Liangzi......
This is a drill similar to a real fight.
Zhao Pu found a hillside, gave Xiao Liang a hundred men and horses, and stationed them at the bottom of the slope. With twenty people with him, he guarded a small tent on the hillside. There was a bowl in the tent with water in the bowl. What Xiao Liang has to do is to go up the mountain and get the bowl of water in the military tent, and Zhao Pu can pour out the bowl of water when he is in a stalemate again, anyway, Xiao Liangzi will lose if he can't get the whole bowl of water.
For the sake of fairness, Zhao Pu arranged for Xiao Liang, a great general, Yin Hou to help, but the premise was that Yin Hou could not figure out his own way, and he had to completely obey Xiao Liangzi's arrangement. In other words, Zhao Pu asked Xiao Liang to use five times his own troops to go up the mountain to grab a bowl of water.
Xiao Liangzi launched at least thirty attacks in three days, but he did not succeed in getting the bowl of water.
As a result, Xiao Liangzi lost the game. For this reason, Xiao Liang was still not convinced, so Zhao Pu made a bet with him, and the two of them were exchanged, so that Xiao Liang took a hundred elite soldiers, and then took Yin Hou to the mountain to look at the bowl of water, and he took twenty people to camp under the mountain, thinking of getting the bowl of water.
However, there are winners and losers in this bet, if Zhao Pu does it, Xiao Liang will admit punishment.
Xiao Liangzi Meizizi agreed, thinking that he would win, he arranged the hundred elite soldiers in all corners of the hillside, guarded a small hillside tightly, and asked Yin Hou to sit in the tent with the bowl of water and see how Zhao Pu grabbed it.
But it took Zhao Pu less than half an hour to steal the bowl of water.
Xiao Liangzi flattened his mouth and looked at Yin Hou who was fooled, of course, the decision is still his own problem.
Yin Hou also had no choice but to spread his hands - Zhao Pu kid is too cunning!
So, Xiao Liang accepted the punishment. Who knew that Zhao Pu not only wanted to punish Xiao Liang but also punish the fourth son, saying that this is called joint punishment, and asked Xiao Liang to remember this lesson, once some decisions are made wrong, not only will he be punished, but even his friends and relatives will be implicated.
Although Zhao Pu's approach was a little unserious, Gongsun didn't stop it, and the fourth son was also very cooperative.
So, Zhao Pu asked Xiao Liang to do 10,000 push-ups and Xiao Sizi to do 1,000.
Xiao Liangzi's 10,000 push-ups were completed in a few days, but it was hard for Xiao Sizi...... If he did it on the ground, he would do a few in a day.
Gongsun originally thought it would be good to let the little fourth son exercise...... But after watching the little fourth son tremble and sweat after doing three things, Gongsun began to look at Zhao Pu with the whites of his eyes. Not only Gongsun, but also the shadow guards also bit their handkerchiefs and looked at Zhao Pu with the whites of their eyes.
Zhao Pu also regretted it a little, he didn't expect that the little fourth son was too useless, and he thought that it was always okay to make a hundred a day.
But the military order is like a mountain, how is this good?
Fortunately, Zhan Zhao came up with an idea and asked Xiao Sizi to do it on his belly, thirty in the morning, thirty at noon, thirty in the evening, and ten more when he was free, so that one hundred a day, ten thousand in ten days.
So, there was the scene of the little fourth son lying on Zhanzhao's stomach doing push-ups.
In fact, it is not tiring to do it on his stomach at all, the little fourth son only needs to move his arms, but for the sake of the little Liangzi, the little fourth son still does it very seriously.
After this lesson, especially seeing Xiao Sizi working hard to do push-ups for himself, Xiao Liangzi has changed a lot. He read all the military books that Zhao Pu gave him, and began to memorize some subsets of scriptures and histories that he refused to memorize before.
Xiao Liang is actually not only in good physical condition, but also has a good brain, maybe there is a golden house in the book, and soon he read the book interestingly, so he reads the book obediently every day, and asks if he doesn't understand, and people are not as wild as before.
Lin Yehuo often hugged his arms and nodded, Xiao Liang deserved it! The so-called one thing descends one thing, what did this baby do before, this time Zhao Pu cleaned up obediently!
It is said that after Xiao Tonghai learned that Xiao Liang would read books for two hours every day without reading or sleeping, he was so excited that he burst into tears, this wild boy finally found someone who could control him!
For this reason, Gongsun also praised Zhao Pu rarely, and Zhao Pu's recent mood is also good. Of course, it's not because Xiao Liangzi is obedient and good, but because it's very convenient to take a car on the road, Xiao Sizi has been in the carriage of Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang for the past two days, and he always has a separate carriage with Gongsun, and the nerd didn't play and slept with his arm as if he had been used to it!
β¦β¦
"Twenty-eight...... Twenty-nine...... Three~ten! Whew......"
The fourth child finished his lunch and rested on Zhanzhao's stomach.
Zhan Zhao put down the file, reached out and pinched his arm, "Is it sour?" β
Xiao Sizi smiled and rubbed on Zhanzhao's stomach, "It's not sour." β
Zhan Zhao rubbed his head.
At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Bai Yutang walked in, holding a paper bag in his hand, "Cat, do you eat walnuts?" β
Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and smiled, reached out to take the paper bag, grabbed two and unscrewed them, picked out the walnut kernels, stuffed one into the mouth of the little fourth son, and then stuffed one into Bai Yutang's mouth, and tasted it himself after the most slight, "Hmm!" It smells so good! β
"It doesn't taste like a walnut in general!" The little fourth son also felt special.
"Ouyang was dividing just now, it seems that it was sent from Persia." Bai Yutang helped the two of them peel walnuts, "After walking for a while, you will arrive at the Prefecture Mansion, and after lunch, you will be able to travel for half a day, and you will be able to reach Yingxue Palace in the evening." β
"Oh......" Zhanzhao suddenly felt a little nervous, "so fast?" β
Bai Yutang laughed, "What are you afraid of?" There are a lot of delicious things in Yingxue Palace. β
Zhan Zhao looks to the sky.
When the little fourth son had rested enough, he got up and sat down, rolled around with a walnut, and asked Bai Yutang, "Baibai, are we going to eat your father's birthday wine?" β
Bai Yutang nodded, "Hmm." β
Xiao Sizi raised his face and asked with a smile, "Doesn't the Bai Bai family live on Trap Island?" β
"Trap Island is where I usually live, and Yingxue Palace is where my father and mother live."
"Oh......" Xiao Sizi nodded, "Then the uncles from the Sky Island will also go?" β
Bai Yutang was stunned and touched his chin, "Yes...... Big brother, they should come. β
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang and asked, "How old is your father?" β
"Forty-six." Bai Yutang replied.
"Wow, Daddy is so young!" The little fourth son held his face.
Bai Yutang smiled.
"Well, it's the same as my dad." Zhan Zhao touched his chin and nodded, "But...... Forty-six years old is not a big birthday, what a grand feeling, do you do it every year? β
Bai Yutang shook his head, and seemed to be a little confused, "No, every year we give him a small celebration, my father and mother actually don't like it very much, sometimes they don't call me back for their birthdays, he goes to Tiannan and Haibei to play for a while, this is really the first time!" β
"Forty-six years old...... Isn't there any special meaning? Zhan Zhao asked seriously.
Bai Yutang thought about it, looked at him, and seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Bai Yutang touched his chin, "Isn't it special to bring your sweetheart back this year?" β
"Ahem......" Zhanzhao coughed awkwardly and touched his red ears.
The little fourth son looked at the two with a smile.
As he spoke, the carriage slowed down, and there was some commotion outside.
Zhan Zhao lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out...... I saw that I had entered the city of Yuanzhou.
This city is located in the north, and the scale is small but it is very lively...... There were many merchants and travelers.
Xiao Sizi looked out, "Wow...... That's a lot of people. β
Bai Yutang looked around and lowered the curtain, as if he was a little puzzled.
"How?" Zhan Zhao seems to be a little sensitive to the changes in Bai Yutang's expression these days.
Bai Yutang smiled and said, "Oh...... It's nothing, I just feel like there are a lot of people today. β
Zhan Zhao was puzzled.
"There are indeed not many people who come and go in the Prefecture Mansion on weekdays, and it is quite clean." Bai Yutang said.
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, Ochre Ying lifted the curtain, looked inside, and asked, "The restaurant in front looks good, the prince said to get off the car and rest for a while, and then leave after lunch." β
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao readily agreed, and got out of the carriage with the little fourth son.
At that end, the grandson who had slept also got out of the car, stretching his muscles and bones, and came over to hug the little fourth son, Xiao Liang held a book in his hand, and ran over to meet his Jin'er.
Bai Yutang raised his face and looked at the name of the restaurant-Yuncheng Restaurant.
"Yo!"
Before everyone entered the door, a white and chubby middle-aged man came out of the inn, "Isn't this the young palace master Bai Wuye, this is for Xia Ye's birthday, right?"
Bai Yutang nodded to him, and introduced to everyone, "Shopkeeper Guo, the shopkeeper of the Cloud City Inn." β
Everyone nodded, it turned out to be acquaintances.
"A few distinguished guests, please." Shopkeeper Guo enthusiastically let everyone inside, many guys in the inn seemed to know Bai Yutang, and everyone who passed by smiled and saluted him, "Fifth Master Bai, I haven't been back for a long time." β
Bai Yutang nodded, noticing that there were many guests in the inn, and ...... I don't know if Lu Dao is an illusion, many people subconsciously looked up at him, their eyes full of scrutiny.
In fact, this abnormality was not only discovered by Bai Yutang, but also by other people in the same company.
Except for Gongsun and Pang Yu, who don't know kung fu, they have a puzzle with everyone - why are there so many martial artists?
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, went upstairs, found a private room and a group of people to go in and sit down, and when ordering, he didn't forget to ask the shopkeeper, "Why are there so many people?" β
The shopkeeper Guo also seemed to be confused, "I don't know what to do, Fifth Master, there have been more people suddenly in the past few days, and they are all practicing martial arts." My side is close to the north of the city, there are not many people, the south of the city is full, I heard that there are many major sects, as well as Shaolin, Tianshan or something...... Not to mention, we thought we were here to celebrate Xia Ye's birthday? But it doesn't look like it, it's never been before. β
Bai Yutang nodded, and when the guy left, Bai Yutang held his forehead.
Zhanzhao poked him again, "What's wrong?" β
Bai Yutang was also helpless, and shook his head, "I don't know, I have a bad premonition inexplicably." β
Yin Hou walked to the window, looked at the people below, and then leaned out half of his body, and glanced into the distance, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was looking at.
When he turned around, he frowned slightly and pinched his fingers, as if he was counting some number.
Tianzun and Wusha both saw it.
Tianzun laughed at him, "What's the old ghost? Do you want to count a hexagram? β
Yin Hou looked at Tianzun who was smiling heartlessly, and he didn't have the heart to tease him, but asked Bai Yutang, "How old is your father?" β
"Forty-six." Bai Yutang said in his heart, why are so many people asking him how old his father is today?
"Forty-six years old birthday is so grand?" Pang Taishi also wondered.
"Forty-six." Yin Hou calculated, "This year is the third year of Jingyou......
Everyone looked at him in puzzlement - what is the matter with the year?
"The emperor succeeded to the throne in the first year of Qianxing...... Change the name of the year to Tiansheng. Yin Hou said to himself, "Ten years of Heavenly Sage, two years of Mingdao...... Jingyou is now three years old...... That's fifteen years. β
Everyone nodded, Zhao Zhen didn't look young, but he had been an emperor for more than ten years, after all, he succeeded to the throne at a young age...... But why is Yin Hou doing this?
Everyone looked at Tianzun in puzzlement, Tianzun saw a table full of dishes, so he didn't care what Yin Hou thought, stretched out his chopsticks to eat, but there was no sand, touched his chubby chin, and frowned slightly......
"It was sixty-two years from Jianlong to Qianxing, and it was exactly twenty-three years from Li Yu's ascension to the throne until Jianlong in the first year of his ascension." Yin Hou said, glancing at Tianzun and Wushaβthis year is exactly one hundred years......
As soon as Yin Hou's words fell, he heard a "snap".
The spoon in Wusha's hand fell into the bowl, and his mouth opened wide in surprise, "It's been a hundred years?!" β
Everyone was puzzled by the second monk, looking at both sides - what a hundred years?
Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun puzzled, and saw that unlike Yin Hou and Wusha's nervousness, Tianzun had not yet eaten the balls without a heart.
"Hey." Wusha patted him, "You should have a little heart!" β
Tianzun blinked, puzzled, chewing the balls and tilting his head, "Huh? β
Bai Yutang frowned and asked Yin Hou, "What's the problem in this hundred years?" β
Yin Hou saw that Tianzun had put another pill in his mouth, was speechless, and slapped him, "How old are you?" β
Tianzun chewed the balls and looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang held his forehead, "One hundred and twenty." β
Zhan Zhao nodded, and looked at Yin Hou again, it seemed that they were as big as the two of them, just a few months apart.
"And then?" Tianzun looked at Yin Hou again.
The rest of the people looked at each other, why are these old people so entangled in their age?
"What did you do here in your twenties?" Yin Hou and Wusha reminded Tianzun speechlessly.
Tianzun continued to chew the balls, tilting his head, "Twenty years old, ......"
Wusha was weak, "What did you do in Tu Yunfeng when you were in your twenties?!" β
"Poof......
As soon as Wusha finished speaking, Tianzun took a sip of pills and sprayed Bai Yutang's body.
Bai Yutang had a dark face and looked at the placket on his chest...... I can't ask for this dress.
Zhan Zhao took a handkerchief to help him wipe it, and looked at the three old men puzzled, what is the situation?
I saw Tianzun wipe his mouth, ran to the window, climbed up the window to look into the distance, glanced at it, opened his mouth wide and jumped down, "Oops! It's been a hundred years! Obedient...... No wonder Lu Xue'er's girl is calling us all! β
Everyone ran to the window and looked into the distance.
In the north, there is a strange high peak, towering into the clouds, the shape of the top of the mountain is like a knife, the knife is still very sharp, the clouds are fluttering, there is a feeling of being cut by a knife, very majestic.
"That mountain is so high!" Zhao Pu couldn't help but say that he had seen a lot of mountains, but it was the first time he had seen such a high peak.
The crowd didn't understand what to see, but Zhan Zhao noticed Bai Yutang, who was staring at the mountain peak in amazement.
Yin Hou smiled and asked Bai Yutang, "Is it the first time you saw it?" β
"Hmm......" Bai Yutang nodded, his eyes full of surprise.
"What first time I saw it?" Zhan Zhao was curious.
"That mountain is called Tuyun Mountain, and that blade-like peak should be the legendary Tuyun Peak." Bai Yutang said.
"Should?" Everyone was puzzled - Bai Yutang was very unfamiliar with the names of places near his house.
"The legendary Tu Yun Peak is just that." Bai Yutang said, "I've grown so big, today is the first day I've seen Tu Yunfeng's true appearance!" β
Everyone can't figure it out, they haven't seen it before?
"Tu Yunfeng is obscured by clouds and mist all year round." Seeing that everyone couldn't understand it, Bai Yutang explained to them, "I, my father, and even my grandfather have never seen Tu Yunfeng's true appearance, because according to legend, those clouds that envelop Tu Yunfeng ...... It only disperses once in a hundred years. β
The crowd opened their mouths wide - only once in a hundred years? Really?
"That's true." Tianzun nodded.
"What were you doing here a hundred years ago?" Everyone couldn't help but ask Tianzun.
Tianzun scratched his face.
Wusha Dao, "A hundred years ago, Tianzun fought on Tuyun Mountain, defeated all the sects in the world, and went to Tuyun Peak alone, so that he won the title of the first in the world. β
Everyone was stunned.
Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun in surprise and surprise - when you were young, there was still a time to compete for fame and fortune?
"But he didn't fight for the title of the number one in the world." Yin Hou smiled, as if he remembered something funny.
Tianzun was speechless, pouting very unpleasantly.
"For what?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Because the Silver Demon King and Bai Yuelin lied to him, saying that there are fun tricks on the mountain." Saying that, Yin Hou asked Tianzun, "Didn't Bai Yuelin let you bring something up back then?" What exactly? β
Tianzun thought for a moment, then scratched his head, "Uh...... I don't remember exactly, it looks like a box. β
"What's in the box?" Yin Hou and Wusha were both curious, "Back then, the Baiyue Forest was mysterious, and the people of the rivers and lakes were rumored to be unique in the world, and they used up almost all of his family property in exchange for the treasure. β
Tianzun thought hard for a long time, and helplessly spread his hands - I really don't remember!
Everyone was discouraged - Tianzun must not remember this critical moment of memory.
Bai Yutang waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter what it was, what mattered, "What trouble will my father and mother have?" β
The three of them glanced at each other and looked at Bai Yutang together, "Actually, you should have more trouble......
Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the skyβisn't it...... Again?!
Zhanzhao's brows furrowed, "Isn't it......?" It's so easy to come back from Beihai, and it's not safe to celebrate my father's birthday? β
Actually, Zhan Zhao said this to help Bai Yutang, but Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded to Zhan Zhao, and expressed his satisfaction - just call your father!
