In the evening of this day, everything that should be washed away was washed away, and the water flow was relatively clean, and the four idiots took her Yue kiln celadon tea set, went to the mountain to draw water, first precipitated for half an hour, and then boiled, for everyone to drink, the teapot was small, only four small teas at a time, and they took turns to drink.

The four idiots always have to place the tea leaves, and she is itchy if she doesn't put the tea leaves, and the famous tea she treasures from all over the world has been consumed more than half, and all the soldiers praise Mr. Si's tea skills.

Zhou Xuan drank the tea prepared by this muddy water, and praised: "The fourth tea art is high and low, so I might as well do it." ”

The four idiots looked at the still surging water between the mountain roads, and said: "If this water does not recede for ten days and a half months, we can't sit and be trapped here, there are all the trees on this mountain, it should not be difficult to make a wooden valve, go out of the mountain along the water, and then look for a boat to come back to rescue others." ”

Li Paijun said: "Mr. Four, rest assured, this water will recede tomorrow night, in the past hundred years, the Yellow River has burst its embankment and diverted this is the third time, this has never become a river, the terrain here is high." ”

At night, looking up at the starry night sky, like a blue-black velvet adorned with a sparkling pearl, after the rainstorm and flood, the weather is exceptionally beautiful, as if God is guilty and wants to compensate the world.

Zhou Xuan lay on the leopard skin, his head rested on the sturdy and round thighs of the sheep's small chin, telling the story of Robinson Crusoe......

By noon the next day, the road at the foot of Eagle's Beak Mountain had already surfaced, and by the evening, the mountain road that could be seen at a glance had receded.

Yang Zongbao was anxious and said loudly: "Let's go out of the mountain overnight, this mountain road is only more than ten miles, and it is uncomfortable to be bored in this mountain." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I will go again tomorrow morning, and walk the mountain road at night, there are potholes everywhere, and there is water, but if you want to, you can't reach it." ”

Zhou Xuan and his entourage of 44 people stayed on Eagle's Beak Mountain for two days and three nights. On the morning of March 20, I went down the mountain to hurry, and the ten-mile mountain road was really difficult to walk, and some places had been washed away by water, and the big stones blocked the road, and the mud and rocks collapsed, and the ten-mile mountain road walked for more than two hours. It was almost noon before I got out of the mountain.

Li Paijun looked at the large open land in front of him, where the rivers were crisscrossing and the swamps were clustered. Stunned. Fang Dao: "I don't even know the way." Junozawa has really become Junozawa. ”

Suijiazhuang is five miles ahead. There are still three feet of water. Met a farmer. Say and be happy that the people of Zhuang are vigilant. Fled to nearby high ground before the flood arrived. Only a seventy-year-old woman died in the village. Because he refuses to leave home. Drowned in water.

Zhou Xuan sighed. Left Suijiazhuang. Arrive at Juye Castle in the evening of the same day. Juye Castle is almost a mountain town. The terrain is very high. Because 1,000 years ago, Konozawa occupied an extremely large area. So this flood is violent. It didn't flood under Juye Castle.

The sheep and the carriage are gone. Two driving horses also lost one. Let the coachman ride the rest of the horses. Yang Xiaofeng and Zhou Xuan rode together.

The crowd entered the Giant Wild City. I saw that the victims were everywhere. The government set up a porridge hall in the temple to relieve the victims. Zhou Xuan and the others rested overnight at the Juye City Inn. Fifty taels of gold were donated to the soup kitchens and temples. Early the next morning. Feed the horses. Bring plenty of clean water and dry food. Cross the Grand Canal in Jining. Arrived in Qufu on March 22.

The drainage effect of the Grand Canal was evident during this flood. The west of the canal was badly affected. The north of the canal was not affected by flooding. Disaster relief convoys and people from various state capitals crossed the canal to the west to provide disaster relief. The government of the Northern Song Dynasty was quite sympathetic to the people.

When he arrived in Qufu, he had to pay a visit to the Holy Duke of Yan, go to the Confucian family banquet, worship the Confucian Temple, and visit the Confucian Forest, Zhou Xuan had respect for Confucius, but there was no fanatical worship.

Mount Tai is less than two hundred miles north of Qufu, but Zhou Xuan wants to go to Fei County and Mengyin to find Xiahou tassels. I only rested in Qufu for two nights. Continue eastward and arrive at Fei County two days later. To the east of Fei County is Mengshan, and Xiahou Yun, the father of Xiahou Tassel, said by Lan Lianchang that day, was hunting in Mengshan when he was young.

Fei County Zhixian is also surnamed Zhou, usually like to come to some poetry, long heard the name of Zhou Qicha, at this time I saw it with my own eyes, and accompanied by Yang Zongbao, the Marquis of Wupindu, naturally it is warm hospitality, speaking of Mengshan Xianbei Orion, Fei Zhixian said: "Five hundred years ago, Beiyan occupied Hebei, Liaoxi land, there are a large number of Xianbei people settled here, after the destruction of Beiyan, some Xianbei people moved west, some stayed, Mengshan this branch is moved from Hebei, for hundreds of years has been hunting for a living, in order not to be discriminated against by the Han people, they take Mu as their surname, Mu is actually a homonym for Murong—"

Chen Si'an said that Xiahou Yun's original surname was Mu, and the tassel was really a Xianbei woman, no wonder the eyelashes were so long, and the bridge of the nose was straight, and the face was clearly contoured - Mu Yun didn't want to serve the Tang State after the defeat of Qingyuan, and it was the most normal place to return to her hometown Mengshan, and the tassel naturally had to follow her father to the north, so she said: "There is a Laozhou County order, and I want to find the father and daughter in this Mengshan Mu surname Orion, the father's name is Mu Yun, and the female name is Mu Tassel, but maybe it will change other names." ”

Zhou County Ling was stunned for a while, and said: "Zhou Guogong doesn't know, this group of Xianbei people occupied the mountain as the king thirty years ago, set up a Mujia village, there are more than 300 households, more than 1,000 strong people, all of them practice martial arts, do not pay food, do not pay taxes, but also rob the rich merchants in the past, in the early years, the court went around to fight, no time to take care of this disease of ringworm, ten years ago the state soldiers went to encircle and suppress, but the people of Mujiazhai hid in the vast mountains, and the officers and soldiers played hide and seek, the officers and soldiers did not catch one of them, but broke dozens of people, had to withdraw from Mengshan, fortunately they did not go out of the mountain to rob, did not harass the nearby states and counties, and Chang Assassin Shi didn't think about clearing them for a while - how could Zhou Guogong know the people of this Mujiazhai? ”

Zhou Xuan was also stunned, surnamed Mu, Mu Jiazhai, and Zhanshan are kings, and slowly and slowly, most of the books are fictional "The Romance of the Yang Family", and Mu Guiying was originally the daughter of Mu Yu, the owner of Mu Ke Village, wouldn't it be this Mengshan Mujia Village? With Yang Zongbao, it is not uncommon to have Mu Guiying, but who is Mu Guiying? Born beautiful and martial arts, who else will there be besides Mu Tasu? ? Could it be that the tassel has changed its name? Yes, the tassel was born in August, and it is very likely that she will change her name to Gui Ying, although it is a bit cheesy, it is estimated that her father Mu Yun changed it for her, and Mu Yun herself changed her name to Mu Yu, why did her father and daughter change their names? Presumably he didn't let me look for the tassel, Mu Yun hated me for destroying Qingyuan, and wanted to break me and the tassel alive, this old man is more hateful-

Zhou County Ling saw Zhou Xuan's face change, and he didn't answer for a long time, thinking that he had an ulterior secret, and couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, Zhou Xuan, a prince of the Tang Kingdom, came to the hinterland of the Northern Song Dynasty to find the Mu bandits, what did he want to do, didn't he want to recruit the people of Mujiazhai as a strange soldier in his Tang Kingdom, once the Song and Tang Dynasty started a full-scale war, the people of Mujiazhai went around making trouble, which was really tricky.

Zhou Xuan noticed Zhou County's guarded eyes, he was a clever and exquisite, and immediately understood Zhou County's thoughts, laughed, held Zhou County's hand and said: "Lord Zhou, you and I are both surnamed Runan Zhou, and we were the same family five hundred years ago, so I won't hide it from Lord Zhou, and I will say it bluntly-" He turned his head to Yang Zongbao and said: "Brother Yang, you tell Zhou County Commander about the purpose of my coming to Mengshan." ”

After Yang Zongbao was a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, he was also a senior military attaché, and in the eyes of Zhou County, what Yang Zongbao said was naturally more weighty and credible than what Zhou Xuan said.

Zhou County Ling listened to the cause and effect, and learned that Zhou Xuan was looking for his favorite concubine, so he was relieved and said with a smile: "I see, Zhou Guogong is really an infatuated person, otherwise he can't make tears and ask Huahua silently, the red flies over the swing, the clothes belt gradually widens, people do not regret it, and the lower officials must be Zhou Guogong Yucheng This matter, tomorrow will send people into the mountains to Mujiazhai to visit Mu Yun and Mu Liusu's father and daughter." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Thank you, as long as you send a guide, I will enter the mountain in person." ”

Zhou County Commander hurriedly dissuaded: "Guogong must not, the people of Mujiazhai are very repulsive to outsiders, there are many traps on the mountain roads, outsiders will not die when they enter, and Guogong naturally can't go alone, but it's not good to go with more people, and it's not good to have fewer people, and it's not sure that Guogong wants to find people in this Mujiazhai, Guogong doesn't have to take risks easily, wait for the next official to send reliable people who are familiar with the terrain of Mengshan Mountain and have dealings with Mujiazhai Orion to find out the news, if Mu Yun's father and daughter are really in the village, Guogong will send his henchmen to see the tassel girl It is not too late. ”

Zhou Xuan heard that Zhou County's order was reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Then there is Master Lao, but Mu Yun's father and daughter may change their names, just check whether there are any foreign father and daughter who have defected to Mu Jiazhai in the past six months." ”

Zhou County ordered to agree, that is, to send the servants to find the Fei County leather merchants, these leather merchants and Mujiazhai hunters have dealings, although Mujiazhai is not subject to the county control, but the hunted animal skins, dug up precious herbs still have to trade with the outside of the mountain, not completely do not have contact with the outside world.

Several leather merchants pushed a person called the king camel into the mountain, this king camel has been dealing with Mujiazhai for 30 years, more than 50 years old, although the back is camel, but the spirit is vigorous, the foot is fast, the prey and herbs of Mujiazhai are generally traded in the county by his hands, and it is simple and respectful of the people of Mujiazhai. Zhou Xuan asked Wang Camel who is the owner of Mujiazhai? Wang Huoluo replied: "It's Mu Yu, who has been the owner of the village for more than ten years. ”

Zhou Xuan's heart was relieved, and he thought: "It seems that I guessed wrong, Mu Yu has already had his own person, and of course his father will not change his name to Mu Yu." He asked again: "Does Mu Yu have a daughter named Mu Guiying?" When he asked this, he glanced at Yang Zongbao and said in his heart: "Zongbao's marriage has arrived." ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Huoluo replied: "Mu Yu only has one son, named Mu Hongju, and has no daughter

Zhou Xuan was puzzled, this history is both true and illusory, there are both Yang Zongbao, Mu Jiazhai, and Mu Yu, how can there be no Mu Guiying - no matter how much, as long as the tassel is not Mu Guiying, if the tassel is really named Mu Guiying, then the buddy must not let the tassel and Yang Zongbao give birth to those things in "The Romance of the Yang Family" in order to respect historical facts, this is absolutely not good.
