Chapter 031: Flickering and flickering
It is said that the mountain behind the Marquis of Jiansheng is called "Daxing Mountain", which is undulating and entrenched at the junction of Beili and Dongye.
At the beginning, Miao Daoqi obeyed the will of the Beili Imperial Court and deliberately built the Hou Mansion Mansion in this place where there was no village in front of the village and no store in the back. The beautiful name says: the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, quiet and deep, it is a rare feng shui treasure land, and it is the most suitable for Jianshenghou to recuperate his body.
As a result, Jianshenghou became such an abrupt existence, far away from the Jinxian market, without neighbors to accompany him. It is okay to say that the Hou Mansion is a paradise, but it is more appropriate to say that it is "isolated from the world". But it's not without a little benefit, at least you don't have to deal with the outside world, so you don't have to worry a lot about it; On the contrary, such as Miao Zhixian and the like, they all used this reason to stay away from Sui Yu.
Jin Sheng followed Old Man Li and the others to lead the way, while Shui Sheng guarded Feng Ran and Sui Qi, and the group of people drove in the direction of Daxing Mountain with a smile. Everyone was worried that Feng Ran would not be physically exhausted, and the more he walked into the mountains, the more he slowed down.
But Feng Ran has a very long face today, and has been following everyone closely, and he didn't shout and get tired halfway. She lowered her head and walked in a whisper, and said in her heart, how can so much spiritual spring water be drunk in vain? She must have good physical strength to run faster when she encounters danger in the future.
Everyone walked for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the depths of Daxing Mountain. Feng Ran looked around and guessed that this was already the territory of Higashino. Spring flowers are blooming, and the mountains are full of tender green. Birds and finches chirp in the treetops and grass, and animals can be seen shuttling through the forest from time to time.
Jin Sheng instantly became interested, quickly rolled up his sleeves, and rushed into the dense forest with a tiger gun. If you don't get two more prey to go home today, you won't let the master laugh to death? The aquatic life followed closely behind, drawing a full bow in both hands, as if he had determined the target of the hunt.
Lao Tian and Lao Wei followed them, while Old Man Li dug up wild vegetables on the hillside. Feng Ran ran to Old Man Li first, helped him pick up the dug wild vegetables and put them back in the basket, and then took Sui Qi to pick flowers and twist grass nearby.
Old man Li was tired of digging, sat on a big stone to rest, and saw Sui Qi running back with a bunch of flowers and plants.
"What are you going to do when Xiaobao picks so much and comes back?" Old man Li used to call Sui Qi's original name, and he still couldn't change it for a while.
Sui Qi shook his little head and said with a bright smile: "Weave a flower basket for my mother, my mother must look good when she wears it." ”
"You little devil is really blessed to meet such a good lady and good master."
"Hehe, old man Li, you are also blessed, we are all by my mother's side."
Old man Li looked into the distance and asked, "What about Madame?" Where did Madame go? ”
"Right ahead." Sui Qi stretched out his hand and pointed, "Na, old man Li, have you seen it, my mother is there!" ”
Old man Li followed the direction of his finger, and just as he was about to confirm it, he saw Feng Ran jumping high in the box, beckoning vigorously.
"Old man Li! Big! Come here, and see what I find! ”
Feng Ran automatically turned on the drama spirit mode, and she took advantage of the unpreparedness, quickly returned to the carry-on space, and took out a few fruit trees prepared in advance. The roots of the fruit trees were all connected to the dirt, and she trampled on them and buried them indiscriminately, and estimated that she could almost get away with it.
Old Man Li and Sui Qi had already run over, and Old Man Li looked at these fruit trees that were not too thick, "This is?" How can there be a ...... here" He looked at the soil underneath again, which was clearly freshly planted.
"These little trees are good, huh? No one wants it in this deep mountain and old forest, so let's move back to the field, and by the time the autumn comes, we will surely be able to bear a lot of fruit. Feng Ran said solemnly.
Old man Li had heard Shui Sheng muttering before, saying that Mrs. wanted to plant some fruit trees and sell them for money. He thought that Madame was in a bit of a hurry at the time, and only today did he realize that she had the idea. In fact, digging a few trees back, there is nothing but hard work, he just wonders how these trees can appear here?
Where could Sui Qi think of this, he only knew that he was dancing and applauding, circling around a few fruit trees.
"Old man Li, go and call Lao Tian and them back, let's dig these back together." Feng Ran pouted while the iron was hot.
Old man Li was stunned, and before he could react, he was pulled by Sui Qi and walked towards the dense forest. Sui Qi's voice was loud, and he kept changing everyone's names. Old man Li hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "You little ghost, don't provoke the blind bear here!" ”
Feng Ran saw that the old and the young walked away, and immediately returned to the carrying space to continue to carry out. She has been preparing these fruit trees for a long time, and they are of the highest quality. It's just carried out from the space, and it doesn't seem like it's a few steps away, but it can't hold them heavy.
She was so tired that she was panting, and hot sweat was running down her cheeks. When Jin Sheng and the others rushed back, Feng Ran only knew to sit under a tree to catch his breath.
Everyone ignored the tired Feng Ran, and they all circled around these fruit trees that suddenly appeared.
"It's strange, why didn't you notice this when you went up the mountain just now?" Shui Sheng stroked his chin with one hand, turned his head and asked Jin Sheng, "Didn't we come here last time?" ”
"No, when will I turn around?" Jin Sheng was super confident in his sense of direction, but in the face of these fruit trees, he was also at a loss.
"What do you want to do so much? No one wants what is found in the mountains, so let's dig it back. Feng Ran wiped his sweat with his long sleeves, "Don't talk nonsense, just ask if you want to sell fruits to make money?" ”
"Can these fruit trees be so thin?" Old man Li asked worriedly.
Feng Ran rolled her eyes helplessly, these trees are not ordinary trees! When planted in the ground, it will grow and grow into a leafy one, and the fruit will be fragrant and sweet.
"Dig it back and plant it first, and we won't lose anything." Feng Ran urged, and looked at the hands of the people, and saw that they were already carrying a few pheasants and hares.
"Daqi, why don't you help everyone carry the prey?" Feng Ran called, and he brought the basket of wild vegetables again, "We are returning with a full load today." ”
Jin Sheng stepped forward to push a fruit tree and discussed with everyone: "We can't move these trees at a time, and we will make four or five trips." It's more than half of today, and it looks like we'll have to make two more trips tomorrow. ”
"It doesn't matter if I come twice, I'm just worried about whether these fruit trees will be able to be planted if they move somewhere?" Shui Sheng worried, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Feng Ran, do you want to act like this according to Mrs. Hou?
Lao Tian and Lao Wei didn't think much about it, and the two of them had already picked up a tree and walked down the mountain leisurely.
"It will definitely be able to be planted, how fertile our land is now~"
Feng Ran pushed the two of them to hurry up, Jin Sheng and Shui Sheng didn't think about it anymore, so they had to dig up the fruit tree and go down the mountain with Feng Ran.
It's just that Shui Sheng is still muttering in his heart, the roots of these fruit trees are too loose, right? It's as if someone deliberately put it here and gave it to them.
When the group was far away, another group of people suddenly appeared on the other side of the dense forest.
The leader was a young woman, who looked to be in her twenties, tall and tall, with light copper skin. She has long hair half-draped and half-tied, and a tall nose sets off her facial features very full. She was wearing a brown long-sleeved robe with a pair of long leather boots on her feet, and she looked very heroic.
She held a horsewhip and struck it on her thigh as if out of nowhere, and her eyes kept following Feng Ran and his party.
"County Lord, let's go back, otherwise the Lord of the Kingdom should be worried again." The servant on his side bowed down and persuaded.
"They're too rampant, aren't they? It's so blatant to come to our Dongye to steal...... Tree? The woman said disdainfully, "I just walked around today and encountered this kind of thing." In private, the people of Chihu Pass may not know how to bully Beili! ”
Hu never answered, but only advised: "County Lord, let's go back and talk about it." ”
The woman snorted angrily, and finally walked down the mountain with a few servants. It's just that the direction they left was the opposite of Feng Ran's group.
The woman who was called the county lord was named Ling Tian'er, and she was the youngest daughter of the lord of Dongye Country. Higashino moved the capital again when he was a year old, moving their capital from the interior to behind the Red Tiger Pass. A brand new capital, Chihu-eup, is quietly under construction.
Dongye's national strength is not strong, and it is very barren compared to Beili. They chose to move the capital this time because it was too cold inland, and Higashino wanted to choose a relatively warm place. Red Tiger Pass is their strategic location, and it is the warmest area in the country, facing the sea to the south, with natural wharves; To the west is their suzerain, Beili.
Higashino fears Beili, and at the same time does not want to submit to its rule forever. Another meaning of this relocation of the capital is to protect the outermost gate of the East Field - Red Tiger Pass.
Ling Tian'er raised her horsewhip and rode quickly, and the few servants behind her were left far behind her. Her riding skills were taught by the lord of the country, Ling Che.
The scale of the Dongye Imperial Palace is not large, and because the capital has only been moved recently, it can even be described as simple. Ling Tian'er rushed into the palace all the way, but no one dared to stop him on the way.
Ling Che has a big waist and a full beard, and he is a typical Dongye man. He ruled Higashino for nearly twenty years and was loved by his subjects.
At this time, he was already standing at the gate of the palace, smiling as his little daughter dismounted and ran towards him.
"Father, I'm back!" Ling Tian'er ran to Ling Che's side excitedly, "Is father waiting for his son?" ”
"Naturally, I was waiting for you, and I slipped out and ran around, how do you say I should punish you?" Ling Che's face was full of pampering, where was he willing to punish this little daughter.
Ling Tian'er and her father lied for a while, and after making sure that her father was really not angry, she told Ling Che about the scene she saw on Changxing Mountain.
"They are too deceitful!" Ling Tian'er said indignantly, "Father, if he hadn't been stopped by the people below at that time, Erchen really wanted to rush out and give them some color." ”
Ling Che glanced at the national teacher beside him and asked, "Where is the place that the little county lord said?" ”
The national teacher held a heavy scepter, thought for a long time, and said: "Lord, there should be the fief of the Beili God of War. ”
"The God of War of Beili?" Ling Tian'er Huo Ran's eyes widened, "But the legendary commander of the Mozhou Iron Cavalry?" ”
"Exactly." The national teacher briefly recounted his understanding of Sui Yu, "That piece of land has long been born, and Beili expects that we won't care and dare not speak." ”
"This general is so pitiful. Is the Beili court sick? Putting such a big hero in that backwoods? ”
"I'm very interested in that general, Tian'er, why don't you take your father over another day. Maybe the people you meet are the servants of the general's family. ”
"It's kind of interesting, what kind of poverty does the general's family have to be to do that kind of thing." Ling Tian'er smiled arrogantly, "Father, Erchen is also curious." ”
