Moya Valley, the most hidden place in the Great Smoky Mountains. It has been cloudy and misty for many years, and there is only one way into the valley.

If you don't have someone to guide you, it's hard to find the entrance.

Under the guidance of the old man, Mei Xiaohan saw a cliff cave, which was very narrow and could only allow one person to pass through.

Yutong looked at the entrance of the cave and scolded: "Demon Dao, what the hell are you doing!" Actually let my owner drill this little dog hole! I'm afraid I'm going to kill for money! ”

Mei Xiaohan looked at Yu Tong and said a little embarrassed: "My little squire doesn't know so many rules, and my seniors have to worry about him." ”

After entering the cave, there is a world in front of you. And the mountain gate behind him has been closed for some time.

"Demon Dao! What do you want? Why is the mountain gate closed? The rain boy said angrily.

Mei Xiaohan looked ahead and squinted.

There is no end in sight to the green, but there are a few mountain people working in the fields on both sides of the winding mountain path, and occasionally a few children running past to play and play, so unhappy.

"I'm afraid all this is a trap designed by the demon Dao!"

Mei Xiaohan looked at Yu Tong and said, "Yu Tong, don't talk nonsense!" ”

The old man smiled and said: "After more than ten generations of hermits, this place has now become a small village in the Great Smoky Mountains, but the scale has been like this for hundreds of years, and the scale is no longer expanding. ”

"Oh! Why is that? ”

Young people can't stand the hard life in this mountain village and want to go outside the mountains to explore the world. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and this can't be forced!

In any historical era, young people always have a drive to move forward, unwilling to follow the immutable lifestyle and the so-called old man's words that have been passed down for thousands of years.

"I wonder how many people are in this cliff valley now?" ’

The old man said: "There are 370 people, 70 children, 136 young people, and the rest are old people and women!" ”

"I don't know what the young people in this cliff valley do on weekdays?"

The old man said: "There is a 'Cliff School' in the Cliff Valley, and there are gentlemen who often go there to give lectures!" ”

Mei Xiaohan's eyes lit up, and she became interested, and said: "I want to go and see, I don't know if this 'Cliff Academy' can be introduced by my predecessors!" ”

The old man smiled weirdly: "Don't hide it from the general, more than ten years ago, a master came to Moya Valley and wanted to find a gentleman, but this gentleman was surrounded as soon as he arrived. ”

For more than ten years, few people have been to Moya Valley...

The news that Mei Xiaohan was going to recruit talents spread for some time, and the Cliff School was overcrowded for a while.

There are many people who have lived in the depths of this mysterious smoky mountain for many years, and it is rare to go down the mountain several times in their lives, and most of them live in isolation.

yearning for the prosperous world outside, unwilling to do nothing all his life. The younger generation, in particular, is eager for an opportunity, and this opportunity is really rare.

The Cliff School was crowded with students, ranging from children aged seven or eight to the elderly in their sixties and seventies.

welcomed Mei Xiaohan to the Cliff Academy, and the old man disappeared. When I got closer, I saw a sign of "Cliff School" hanging outside the cave.

It is said to be a school, but it is actually a cave, and each stone bench represents a seat, and the students sit cross-legged. However, many of the people who came today, many of the students who did not have seats, stood behind the stone benches, craned their necks to look ahead.

The gentleman who was lecturing saw someone coming, and said: "Yu, Zhuge Yuan, the general is here, and he has not been far away, and he hopes to forgive his sins!" ”

Mei Xiaohan replied: "The teacher is polite, oh! No... Sir is polite! ”

At this moment, the students on the stone bench couldn't sit still anymore, and they all looked at Mei Xiaohan. Perhaps even if they saw it with their own eyes at this moment, they would not dare to imagine that there would be such a young general, which was not much different from their age.

Zhuge Yuan saw that the students were agitated one by one, and said: "All the disciples are punished for copying the 24 articles of the Analects of Politics!" ”

Yu Tong watched from the side and said with a smile: "Copy, copy, copy to death you students who don't listen to class!" ”

Looking at Yu Tong like this, Mei Xiaohan was a little helpless, she originally wanted to entrust the position of commander of the Yangcheng Army to Yu Tong, but when she saw that Yu Tong was so immature, she had no idea.

Now there is a shortage of talents in the army who can take on great responsibilities, and if you can find suitable talents in the Cliff Academy, it will not be in vain. If there are no real talented scholars, they don't dare to bring them to the army, where will Tang Song Ming, Lin Hao, Shi Hu and others be.

Regarding this matter, Mei Xiaohan decided to be careful.

Zhuge Yuan whispered: "The general came here before, it won't just be a whim!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said with a smile: "Don't hide it, sir, it's true, there is a lack of talents in the army, and when I heard that this Cliff Valley is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I have the courage to come here and want to borrow someone!" ”

Zhuge Yuan was silent, as if he was contemplating.

Pacing and said: "There are more than 100 disciples under my disciples, dozens of people who have learned and art, but there are only a few people who are proficient in civil and military affairs, I don't know what the general's plans are?" ”

"I need three!" Mei smiled coldly.

"I just have three people, one is martial arts, one is still literate, and one is both civil and martial!"

Yu Tong ignored it and said: "There will be such a coincidence in the world, it is not the accomplice of this demon Dao!" ”

Zhuge Yuan said: "General, who is this?" Why? ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "This is my attendant, I can't speak, please don't be surprised!" ”

Zhuge Yuan said that there are three people, one is named "Qin Jin", who is a descendant of Qin Qiong, and the other is named "Zhuge Feng", a native of Langya County, and a descendant of Langya celebrities. The other person is my apprentice, "Han Yun", this person has the courage of ten thousand people, he has studied in the Cliff School since he was a child, this person is very smart, he knows a little, and he is familiar with the art of war.

Zhuge Yuan sighed and said: "It's just that this Han Yun came from a humble background, and his parents are all homeless..."

Mei Xiaohan smiled: "Sir's words are wrong! Heroes don't ask where they come from! As long as it's a talent and can be used by me, what does it matter if it's an outcast! ”

Zhuge Yuan said: "I never thought that the general would be so big-bellied, regardless of his background and status, and appoint people on the basis of merit, what a master!" I think that if they had followed you, they would have been teaching them all these years in vain! ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "Mr. is serious, Mr. has such a talent, why is he willing to hide in this foggy mountain, if he can go out of the mountain, with Mr.'s talent, glory and wealth are naturally not a problem!" ”

Zhuge Yuan said: "Yu, the village man in the mountains, it is difficult to ascend to the elegance." It's better to stay at ease in this Great Smoky Mountain, not to mention, Yu is used to being idle, and now he is getting old and reluctant to go out of the mountain! ”

After a long conversation with Zhuge Yuan, it was almost dusk. The billowing clouds in the distance glowed a magnificent red in the sunset.

Like a rendered ink, the clouds are gradually dissipated by the dazzling red, and half of the sky shoots out a thousand rays of light.

A beam of light fell on a few trees swaying in the wind, and when it was blown by the wind, it fluttered down and flew up and down.

The fallen leaves, like the dazzling sunset, are flying.

Seeing Mei Xiaohan's distraction, Zhuge Yuan smiled and said, "Isn't the general a little tired?" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "The flowers flying in the distance are very beautiful, I don't know what flowers are!" ”

Zhuge Yuan smiled and said: "I never thought that the general still has such a Yaxing, this flower is called 'Fire Phoenix Flower' is a unique flower in the Great Smoky Mountains, and it was brought by the ancestors who migrated to the Great Smoky Mountains from thousands of miles away. ”

"This flower is beautiful!"

Zhuge Yuan said: "There is another story about the fire phoenix, to be exact, a magical legend..."

Mei Xiaohan smiled: "I just don't know if I have the ear to listen to this story!" ”

Zhuge Yuan walked into the school, took a turn in the cliff school and said: "There are guests to meet for the teacher today, so the disciples will go back first!" ”

Yu Tong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, looked at Zhuge Yuan with a disregard and carefully underestimated: "Another strange person who is chattering with gods..."

"Yutong, what are you talking about?"

"I... I said, I said I like the fire phoenix too! ”

Mei Xiaohan looked at Yutong helplessly, and she didn't understand how she accepted such a waiter!
