Chapter 7: The Snow of Cangshan
The second prince of our Dali Kingdom has run away!
It's an earth-shattering event. All the maids of Chaoyang Palace were stunned, and they didn't know what happened last night, and knelt at the door of the imperial study with a panicked face.
In the imperial study, Duan Chong's emperor Lao Tzu sat on the dragon chair, holding a piece of paper in his hand, which was a letter that Duan Zhong wrote to his Lao Tzu. There are only a few lines on the letter:
Dad
I went on a study tour.
Come back soon.
Don't embarrass the people in my palace.
Love you,
Chong'er!
The emperor's facial expression twitched a little, as if he couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect his living treasure son to do such a ridiculous thing, it seems that he is really used to spoiling him on weekdays. And this kind of writing tone and penmanship can only be rewritten in this world. Our Zhengconde felt some tingling in the skin.
Emperor Zheng Kang snorted and handed the paper to Concubine Xuan, who was sitting on the side: "Look at the good things your son has done." ”
Concubine Xuan glanced at the note and sighed: "Chong'er likes to mess around on weekdays, but this time it's too much." I only brought one escort and two children under the age of eight, how can this be reassuring? ”
The emperor was silent for a while, and repulsed the servants of Chongyang Palace, but it was really as Duan Zhong wished, and did not punish these servants heavily. Then he turned his head and said to the gray-haired old eunuch on the side: "Tell the four old guys outside the palace that within half a month, I want to see the intact Chong'er, otherwise let them come to see me!" ”

A few hours later, the rooster had just crowed and the dawn had just broken, and the morning sun slowly broke the window. Su'er slowly opened her eyes.
She felt that she had slept a little so heavily last night that she began to dream again. And also dreamed of himself...... Married. It's just that before the groom could lift his hijab, he woke up.
I am seventeen years old, and I am over twenty-eight years old. The servants who served the little master with him had already been released from the palace, so they must have been holding the child now, right? As for himself, because of the relationship between the little master, he was stayed, but after all, he has passed the golden age of girls, do you want to serve the little master for a lifetime? Although this is not a bad thing, the little master will grow up after all, marry a wife and have children.
Su'er's heart was a little confused, but she quickly returned to normal. She felt that the pillow was very hard today, and it was a little clumsy against her neck, otherwise this dream would definitely be finished.
Su'er reached out and wiped the pillow and touched it...... A letter.
It reads:
Dear Su'er, dear to Qi.
......
The letter of the little master? Su'er was a little puzzled, and opened the letter, which contained only two lines:
Dear Susu,
Wait for me for three years. Don't get married.
......
Su'er was a little puzzled as to what the little master's words meant. And also...... The little master called himself...... My dear. This word is a bit magical, it seems to have been invented by the little master himself, and Duan Chong's explanation at the beginning was: a person I like very much......
Su'er's heart was a little confused, and she didn't understand the meaning of the little master's "dear", and besides, she was more ...... than the little master It's a lot bigger, isn't it?
Su'er pulled her cranky thoughts around, and finally found a very serious problem: the little master seemed to be ...... Ran away from home.

Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon.
This is the scenery of Dali's famous wind and snow.
Duan Chong, a famous poet in his last life, left a limerick poem after visiting Yunnan:
Shangguan flowers, Xiaguan wind, Xiaguan wind Shangguan flowers;
Cangshan snow, Erhai moon, Erhai moon shines on Cangshan snow.
Duan Zhong opened the package he was carrying, spread out a large piece of satin, and then picked up many sturdy wooden sticks of different lengths, put them into the holes that had already been dug in the zongzi, buried them with soil, and threw the satin on the sticks, and tied them with ropes, so that a simple tent was built, barely enough for two people to sleep in it.
Duan Zhong looked at his masterpiece very proudly and found that the hands-on ability of liberal arts students was actually very strong.
At this moment, Duan Zhong and Zongzi are standing on the edge of Erhai Lake, feeling the scenery under the moonlight, which is indeed beautiful. During the day, he and Su'er caught fish and barbecued here, and the stove built by several guards was still in place.
The moon of Erhai Lake is the most beautiful, the golden moonlight is thrown on the surface of the lake, forming a golden crescent moon, reflecting the silver of the snow on the top of the Cangshan Mountain in the distance, which looks extremely peaceful. There are a few dark shadows on the lake, which is a small island in the middle of the lake. Duan Chong went to the Caspian Sea on a boat during the day.
Although it was summer at this time, the wind by the lake was still quite strong, and the mood of the heavy blowing was quite refreshing; Blowing ...... The tent flew up......
Duan Zhong looked at the satin that was blown into the lake by the strong wind, gritted his teeth and said to the zongzi: "We're going to sleep out tonight......"
Zongzi didn't answer Duan Chong's words, but just looked at the silver white on Diancang Mountain from afar: "Boss, did you say that we will go up the mountain tomorrow?" ”
Duan nodded heavily.
"That guy on the hill is really amazing? Is the world invincible? ”
Duan Zhong sighed: "I don't dare to say that the world is invincible, but at least no one in this world can kill him." Otherwise...... He's long dead. ”
"That'...... Will he really take us as apprentices? ”
Duan Zhong scratched his head: "I don't know...... However, you are much more diligent than me, and the odds are greater. ”
"That...... I see some snow on the mountain, isn't it cold? ”
Duan nodded his head: "It's cold, so I asked you to bring more clothes." ”
"I'm wearing summer clothes."
"You idiot...... Mine lends you first. ”
"Thank you, Boss!"
"Go to sleep, I'm going up the mountain tomorrow."
"It's so windy by the river, I can't sleep."
“...... Let's move into the woods next to us! ”
"The ground is so hard, not as comfortable as the bed in the palace."
“...... Give me sleep! ”

More than ten miles northwest of Dali City is Erhai Lake, and next to Erhai Lake is Cangshan Mountain.
Cangshan Mountain is extremely high in altitude, the top of the mountain is covered with white snow all the year round, very cold, and the difference between Dali City and Dali City, which is like spring all year round, is very obvious.
Zongzi looked up and found that he had climbed halfway up the mountain at this moment, although there was a green onion in front of him, but further up, it was separated by a white line, and above the white line, there was snow.
Two seven-year-old children had climbed the mountain for most of the day, and they were already tired, sitting on the big rocks on the mountainside and looking at the clouds in the sky.
The clouds of Cangshan are very distinctive, because they are extremely ...... It is charming, as delicate as the silk in the palace, so the local residents call this cloud "jade belt cloud".
Zongzi coughed at Duan Zhong, who was looking at the sky in a daze: "You said last night that you were going to tell me the story of the old monster on the top of the mountain today." ”
Duan Zhong retracted his gaze: "Do you really want to listen?" ”
Zongzi nodded seriously.
"Once upon a time......
"Why does every story start like this?"
"Do you want to listen?"
"To ......"
"Then shut up! Once upon a time......"
————————————————————————————————————————
The founding of Dali has a history of more than 200 years, and it has been passed down to the present day, and it has experienced more than ten emperors. More than 30 years ago, the world was still the world of Daqi, but at that time, Daqi had fallen apart and was soon replaced by the rising beams.
The emperor of Liang was an extremely ambitious man with great ideals in his heart. After collecting all the land in Daqi, it is natural that it will not tolerate Dali in a corner of peace. Commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, drove the expedition in person, and marched southward, intending to trample the land of Dali under his feet in one fell swoop.
At that time, the old emperor of Dali was newly mourned, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the government in the country was a little turbulent. And the new emperor ascended the throne, naturally he was strong, and he wanted to compete with the army of Daliang.
However, the Dali army, which was originally a mixture of whites, Yi people, and Han Chinese, was naturally inferior to the Daliang army that had just moved south from the battlefield, and it was defeated again and again. Liang's army finally forced fifty miles outside Dali. I'm afraid that if I can't hold out for two days, the country will be ruined.
However, at this time, the old guy on the top of the mountain came out. In terms of generation, this old guy can be regarded as Duan Chong's grandfather's generation, he was originally qualified to inherit the throne, but because of his obsession with swordsmanship, he finally pushed off the throne, and instead ...... He became a monk. Of course, these are just afterthoughts.
This old guy of the Duan family is naturally surnamed Duan, and his name is serious. It is said that he was a young and handsome leader in the world in his early twenties, and he was invincible after the age of thirty-five, and he was forty years old when the Liang army approached Dali City.
That night, Duan Zhengzheng carried a sword and walked out of Dali City single-handedly, walking towards the military camp of Liang State fifty miles away. It is said that when the army of the Liang State saw Duan Zhengzheng appear, they thought that a fool had come to die. But soon, no one thought that way anymore.
Because Duan Zhengzheng easily walked into the camp. Yes, it is used to walk.
All bows and arrows can't get close to Duan Zhengzheng's body, and all the generals are not Duan Zhengzheng's enemies.
Duan Zhengjing walked straight into the camp of the Liang army, walked into the army tent, and approached the emperor of Liang who was trembling with a sword in his hand.
That night, Liang and Dali signed an armistice.
The agreement stated that as long as Dali was willing to pay a tributary and symbolically pay tribute every year, Daliang's soldiers and horses would never set foot on the land of Dali.
For Dali, they don't care about the so-called ministers, what they care about is their own lives. And the goods and money of the annual tribute will also be earned back under the transactions of the Dali merchants who went with the team. So these Dali people will accept it.
So Liang withdrew his troops.
Duan Zhengzheng didn't kill the emperor of Liang, but that doesn't mean he can't kill him. Because he knows that if he kills the emperor of a country, there will still be a new emperor, and this emperor will inevitably be the old emperor...... Avenge. Even if it's just nominal.
And Duan Zhengzheng was originally a person who could be the emperor, but he didn't want to be it.
And after this battle, Duan Zhengjing suddenly felt that life was meaningless, so he came to this point and became a monk on Cangshan. Of course, only the Dali royal family knows about this ordination, and it has been kept secret. Otherwise, this mountain gate of Cangshan will be trampled by the apprentices who come to visit.
