Chapter 15 Reunion at Zhongnan Mountain

Daxing City in the first month of the year is still cold, although the heavy snow has stopped, but the cold still exists, even today's first sunshine since the unprecedented winter has not made people feel warm. Honestly, it's not a good day out. Of course, this is not what Xiao Shunzi thinks alone, and the psychology of those generals also thinks so. I really don't know what kind of madness my master is making, what kind of Zhongnan Mountain to play on a cold day, you won't sleep in the bed if it's okay.

Of course, Yang Yong didn't know what his followers thought, otherwise he would have to draw them one by one. Of course, it is difficult to get out of the sun today, and it is rare to have free time to come out once, and I was basically in a state of solitary confinement before, although I ran outside the city every day a few days ago, but I didn't have to be busy training my first arm.

When it comes to the army, Yang Jian originally planned to take Li Jing to the manor today to meet those soldiers and ruffians, after all, it will be You Li Jing who will train them in the future. But last night, Yang Guang sent someone to send some pills, saying that Yang Jian was going to war, and eating it could strengthen his body, so he specially brought it to condole. This suddenly woke up Yang Jun, wasn't gunpowder born from the alchemy of Taoist priests and the production of firecrackers, and the earliest firearms in China were also born in the last years of the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Jun now has a look at the military craftsmen, there should be many people who can make firecrackers, just the researchers of gunpowder, where do these people come from? Of course, Taoist priests have become the best candidates, after all, they themselves have a certain foundation in chemistry, although they are not called chemistry, but after all, they know more than ordinary people, so Yang Jian canceled the original plan to take Li Jing to the manor. Today, I will take Xiao Shunzi and some family generals to Zhongnan Mountain, one of the closest and most famous birthplaces of Taoism to Daxing City, to look for gunpowder, or alchemy.

Gunpowder is known as the biggest nemesis of the cold weapon era, otherwise how could Britain and France beat the Qing Dynasty, which had a population of hundreds of millions, to flee in all directions, although the most important thing is the decay of the Qing Dynasty, but it is also undeniable that the power of firearms is undeniable. The most important thing is that gunpowder was first invented by China, and then spread to all parts of the world, until the Ming Dynasty, China's firearms have been leading the world, but in turn they were conquered by a group of robbers with their own inventions, which has to be said to be a sadness. Therefore, when Yang Jian came to this era when firearms had not yet begun, he had to change his future destiny, let his invention serve his own nation, and use it to conquer all the places that did not surrender.

Just arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, I saw that the top of the mountain was white, and the snow covering it began to melt slowly under the irradiation of Yangguan, and a cloud of white mist evaporated from afar, and it seemed that there was a feeling of fairy mist from a distance, which was worthy of being a Taoist important place, and it seemed that there was really a fairy spirit that made people fascinated.

"Beautiful, it's so beautiful, it would be nice to be able to live in a place like this every day!" Xiao Shunzi began to sigh

"Didn't someone say just now that the weather was cold and didn't want to come out, why, now I want to live here and don't want to leave?" Yang Yun also said jokingly. Also, when the sun just comes out, when the snow starts to melt, it will be colder than when it snows, so it's understandable that Xiaojunzi is reluctant to come out. But the time he can stay in the capital is running out, if he still stays in the capital after the Shangyuan Festival, he will not be impeached by the gangsters, although he is not afraid now, but the boss of the gang changed his mind and did not let him go out to lead the troops, so he had to hurry up and get everything done.

"No, absolutely not, the slave just sighed, serving the master is the most honorable and happiest thing for the slave." Xiao Junzi replied with a grin

"Okay, you sycophant, hurry up the mountain, your master and I are not here to enjoy the scenery today, we have done everything that should be done, and there will be time to enjoy it slowly in the future."

"Everyone, pay attention, the mountain road is rugged and steep, it has just snowed, be careful of the slippery road, get off the horse, leave the horse at the post house over there, and let's go up on foot." Yang Jun pointed to the post house not far away and said. Because of the Taoist land, there must be a lot of believers on weekdays, and there will definitely be a place for tourists to rest at the foot of the mountain, just like the scenic spots in later generations are full of stalls.

The group led the horses to the front of the post house, and found that there was a carriage parked there, and it seemed that there were other people climbing the mountain to play or pray for blessings today. The carriage is very well decorated, it is estimated that it is a rich family, but there is no sign I don't know which family has such a good interest in such a cold day.

Of course, this is not the focus of Yang Jun's attention, after eating some refreshments to warm his body, and then paying the owner of the post house a certain amount of horse care fees, Yang Jun and his party also set off to hike the mountain.

After nearly half an hour of trekking while enjoying the scenery along the way, we finally arrived at the Taoist temple of the main peak. From the outside, the whole Taoist temple has a quaint atmosphere, which makes people feel friendly, natural, and pleasant.

"The donors are polite, this view is the place of love of the old gentleman, it is a pure place, weapons should not be brought in, the love is reserved for you to be handed over, and you will return it when you leave." Just as Yang Yin and his party were about to enter the Taoist temple, a young Taoist priest walked out of it, similar to a gatehouse or something. Seeing Yang Jun and others with weapons, he came out to remind.

"Oh, I'm sorry, let's all keep the weapons for a while, Junko." Yang Xuan turned behind him and said to the general, and glanced at Xiao Shunzi.

"This Xiaodao chief, this is some sesame oil money donated by the prince of our family to Guiguan, please accept it on your behalf." Xiao Shunzi immediately understood the meaning in Yang Jun's eyes, and took out some silver taels, about a hundred taels, and handed them over to the young Taoist priest.

It's actually the prince, no wonder there are so many guards, and they are so generous, but fortunately, this prince doesn't seem to have that lofty momentum.

"It turned out that the prince came to visit, and the disadvantage was shining, and I was the manager of the front yard of the disadvantage, and I asked the prince to go to the guest room with me to rest for a while, so as to take advantage of the lack of mountaineering, and let the trail go to the disadvantage of the host."

The young Taoist priest also knew that the identity of this prince was no longer something that could be received by a person of his status, so he could only go and ask the host to come and receive him personally. So he confessed to Yang Yun and left.

"A few of you will wait here for a while, and you will say that I was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the audience to enjoy the scenery, Xiao Shunzi, come with me." After waiting for a while, Yang Jun felt that it was a waste to wait like this, the opportunity was rare, and he should enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains. Just take Xiao Shunzi out with you, and let those generals wait for people here. Because Yang Jun also knew that those generals had also been on the real battlefield before, and they all had a bit of anger on their faces, and it felt strange to walk around in this quiet Taoist temple.

Walking on this bluestone road, looking at the antique ancient buildings, the mood is particularly relaxed. Although the weather was cold and there were not many people walking around, Yang Jin did not feel the chill, because he seemed to be returning to nature wholeheartedly.

Walking through the Guansheng Palace, seeing the stone tablet of the Louguan Platform, passing through the pulpit, and unconsciously slowly approaching the Cuihua Temple, Yang Jian did not know that he would meet the fateful person again.

"Xiao Shunzi, hurry up, you're going to Cuihua Temple, let's go back and see it." Obviously, Xiao Shunzi is not as interested as Yang Jun, just look at his tired and half-dead appearance.

"Master, I really can't walk, and, besides, I want to go there." Xiao Shunzi said a little embarrassed

"Okay, then I'll go in first, and you'll come back to me later." Yang Jun saw that Xiao Shunzi really couldn't walk, so he didn't force him.

It's not far from Cuihua Temple, and Yang Yun walks quite fast, mainly alone, and the speed will definitely be faster. As soon as I walked to the front of Cuihua Temple, I saw a few people guarding outside, probably the owner of the carriage at the foot of the mountain. Of course, this will not stop Yang Jun.

"Who? Please stay! One of the leaders stepped forward to stop Yang Yong.

However, Yang Jun still did not stop, because he recognized that this family general had seen it before, it was the family general next to Yin Mingyue. Thinking of Yin Mingyue, Yang Jun's heart couldn't help but waver, the peerless appearance of that day was really exciting, thinking about it, I really missed it. I just don't know if it's Yin Mingyue or Yin Shishi who came this time, I hope it's Yin Mingyue. Yang Yan thought silently in his heart.

"You ......" the general originally wanted to say something, but when he saw that it was Yang Jun, he decisively shut up, because he also recognized Yang Jun, if Yang Jun hadn't made a move that day, their master would have been humiliated, maybe their revenge could not be avenged, speaking of which, Yang Jun is still their benefactor.

"It turned out to be the prince, the little one has seen the prince, thank the prince for his kindness last time." The general saw that it was Yang Yong, so he stepped forward and saluted Yang Yong.

"Oh~, it's you? I said why is it so familiar, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, what's the matter, is the injury healed? Yang Jun also asked casually with a haha

"Are you here with your head or with your young lady today?" I finally asked what I wanted to ask and looked forward to the most.

"I have to thank the prince for coming to the rescue, otherwise I'm afraid the little one will have to lie down for a few more days. We are here today to accompany my young lady to pray for blessings, the head of the family has just been reused by the emperor, and is trying to repay the emperor's trust. The general replied truthfully

"Oh~, then according to what you say, your young lady is in this Cuihua Temple? In this case, then I'll go in and take a walk, and say hello to your young lady by the way, how to say it's also a friend, so please continue to watch here, and the safety inside can be handed over to me with confidence. Yang Jun blushed and said without blushing

"This~this~" Damn, what you said, what are we guarding outside, you go in***, as if you are cheating on us to help you let off steam. Besides, this lonely man and widow stay together, and I really don't know what will happen. The general of the family didn't say a word for a long time, and let Yang Jian walk over, who called someone the prince, we are the worst, and if the two families can get married, will they be bullied by the Yuwen family casually.

"Mingyue, your prince is here." Yang Yan thought sullenly
