Chapter 788 Benefiting a lot
This is just the beginning of the trip to Tibet, and it takes 370 miles to walk down from here to reach the first post station in Tibet, Nalu Station. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
According to Yicheng, the trail will be more difficult to walk, the weather will get colder and colder, and there will be no decent accommodation along the way. Before arriving at Nalu Station, they may have to spend the night once or twice.
But in Fan Ying's opinion, as long as she is with her senior brother, how difficult the road must be interesting. She enjoyed sitting in front of him and riding a camel - she was always with her brother, and she expressed her tenderness from time to time along the way, and she could rest assured that she could lean on when she was tired.
Camels are like boats.
The distant mountains are like the sea, and there are countless waves overlapping on top of each other, but when you take a step, you feel that you are one step closer to the sky......
When Gao Beijia woke up in the morning, it was already very lively outside the post house, but these people seemed to know that Xizhou Beijia had a good night's sleep, and no one came to wake up. When he opened his eyes, he touched Fan Ying's soft and warm body beside him, and he was sleeping heavily at this time.
He didn't know that this woman couldn't sleep last night, leaning on him and thinking about it, until the end of the ugly hour, he couldn't fall asleep. Gao Beijia couldn't bear to get up and alarm her, but she was attracted by her, she only put a thin placket jacket on her body, and the smell of flowers after bathing on her body floated out from the cliffs of Yuling.
He couldn't help but love it, and said that I only touched her with my hand, and I didn't think it would be likely to disturb her. Another thought, no, I drank so much last night, but I think how late she must have slept to serve me, how can this work!
So, when Fan Ying was awakened by the sound of people outside the post house, she saw such a scene: Gao Jun's two hands were not moving in a regular manner, but the two big eyes swept over her face without stopping.
She was shy and asked quietly, "What time is it, why is it so lively outside?" Hearing Gao Jun say that it was not early, she whispered in fear again, "Oops! Why didn't you wake me up sooner and make people think we were greedy for a warm bed and didn't want to walk! ”
The two of them quickly got up, and the hot water outside had already been prepared.
After coming out of Moliyi, the first building after entering the Tubo realm, full of Middle-earth style. There are four big characters on the plaque at the main entrance, "Princess Buddha Hall", the red pillar carved screen inside, and the furnishings are also in the Tang Dynasty style, which is said to be built by Songtsam's special subordinates.
Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, and she could not return. This is the place where she worships her homeland and is closest to her hometown.
After Gao Jun and Fan Ying entered, Fan Ying put herself in the princess's shoes and felt that she would never be able to bear such a thing on herself.
She clutched Gao Jun's hand tightly from beginning to end, and never let go for a moment.
Next is the long mountain road, Fan Ying is sitting on a hunchback, her mind is still in the Buddha hall, and she looks a little sentimental. Although the Buddha hall is magnificent, it is only lively for a while, how can it be compared to relatives day and night! It is expected that the princess rushed here from the city of Luo, and the intention of thinking of relatives would be even more torturous.
Seeing her like this, Gao Jun couldn't think of anything to explain her, so he repeated the old trick and made her happy after a while.
There was an unknown mountain on the left side of the road, and Fan Ying suddenly remembered what they had said to the guide Chen Laohan about the word "climb", and said to the senior brother, "I want to go up the mountain!" ”
There are pines and cypresses at the bottom of the mountain, but there is perennial snow on the top of the mountain, and there is no feasible mountain road. Gao Jun said, "It's better to wait for us to come back and climb again." "How can time be delayed here!
But Fan Ying insisted, "No...... As you said, you can lift me up with just one hand. ”
"Alright then," they said, coming down from their camels and walking a dozen steps up the hillside, which was a steep stony slope, and said highly, "not only to go up the mountain, but also to the sky at your feet as soon as I make a move." ”
Fan Ying stopped and asked him, "What's the solution?" ”
Gao Jun stepped forward, holding her waist with one hand and her head with the other, making her lean back. Fan Ying immediately came back to his senses, his body relaxed and pressed on his hand, and the snow on the top of the mountain, which he had to look up to see, slowly moved to the front.
She also wanted to say that he was playing tricks and making a gesture to go up further, but Gao Jun had already lifted her and carried her on his shoulders and walked back, "It's time to go," the two of them laughed happily on the mountain road.
Two days later, they arrived at Nalu Station, the post official had been replaced by a Tubo person, and learned that the person who came was the righteous brother of the great leader of Songtsam, and then looked at the customs clearance voucher and black knife he brought, and the contact was also very enthusiastic.
For the next 440 miles, they passed through the warm springs and the Liemo Sea. The warm spring is gushing out of the stone crevices in the mountains, and the steaming water vapor can be seen from afar, and a pool of crystal clear hot water under the spring, Gao Jun threw away his robe, jumped in to wash, and greeted Fan Ying in the water, "Do you want to come?" ”
But Fan Ying was afraid of bumping into the living, so she shook her head on the shore. When Gao Jun came up, she grabbed a handkerchief and ran up to dry it for him. Because she was afraid that he would catch a cold, she only cared about hurrying, and only when she got on the camel again did she remember the shyness.
The sea of Liemo is a different scene, the tidal flats are gray and white, the lake is as flat as a mirror, reflecting the cold mountain shadows, camels walking on the shore, the mountain shadows moving in the water, and the blue sky is like a wash......
They walked for another seven days before arriving at the second largest post station in Tibet, Zhonglongyi, from here, Fan Ying occasionally felt a little unwell, dizzy and heavy, and the weather suddenly became much colder.
Gao Jun thought that she was due to fatigue, so he no longer let her hold the reins, and then took off one of the fur coats and put them on himself, wrapping her in his arms.
Later, Fan Ying simply retracted her two feet, and only relied on her brother's two reined arms to wrap around, hiding in the impermeable big air, swaying with the movement of the camel, and fell asleep unconsciously, and the headache was reduced a lot.
This post road has been explored and selected by people for many years, and it usually travels through the mountains and valleys. Gao Jun found that when traveling in the valley, Fan Ying rarely complained of headaches, but as soon as they came out of the valley and crossed the mountain peaks they had to pass, she felt unwell again.
At night, it was colder outside the sleeping bag, and sometimes the sun was high, and the two of them were still asleep inside.
Two hundred miles later, the map indicates that the Xiyue River is in front of it, and along the river is the western boundary of the Duomi country, and there are traces left by a large group of people and horses passing by the river, which are left by 3,000 Tibetan camel soldiers when they go back and forth from Qiuzi.
They found the rattan bridge over the river and led the camel and staggered up......
……
When the two of them were on the vine bridge, the emperor who was far away in Chang'an, and several ministers under him who talked about everything, the crown prince and the prince's concubine Liu Xun, were studying the music sent by Xizhou. Only then did they know that the idle Xizhou Gaobei drove to Tibet.
Chu Suiliang originally wanted to say that Gao Jun acted without an edict, isn't it not good. But when he saw that the eldest grandson, Li Daozong and the others were silent, he also endured it.
The emperor asked, "Tell me all about it, what do you think?" ”
Liu Xun replied, "Your Majesty, but this matter must be in accordance with your edict...... Besides, Xizhou is such a big mess...... And there is no governor, he is the de facto chief, and the ministers always feel that he has not done this properly. ”
The emperor was noncommittal, but said to them, "Do you know how the honor guards and horses are selected at the top of the court? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji replied, "Your Majesty, Yifu Ma must be majestic, mighty, and well-proportioned. Standing like a stone carving, walking like an axe, can't lead the neck to neigh, can't step on the hooves, can't defecate everywhere......"
"But such a horse can't charge!"
Li Daozong and the eldest grandson Wuji said, "Your Majesty's words have benefited your subordinates a lot!" ”
