Wan County is in the northwest of Qingdu County, adjacent to Qingdu County, and is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain. The territory is mountainous, the plain accounts for less than half, the Tang River and the reverse river flow through it, it is a large county with mountains and water, beautiful scenery.

The so-called large counties are only in terms of area, and as for the population, like most places in the north, they are vast and sparsely populated.

The three carriages traveled for a whole day, and entered the territory of Wanxian County after dark. This place has only entered the edge of Wanxian, and there is a desolate scene everywhere. A few people finally found a village, but fortunately there was a small inn in the village, and a few people simply rested for the night.

Early in the morning of the second day, the morning dawn dewed, and continued to travel northwest along a straight official road without more than ten miles of road, and as far as the eye could see, there were peach blossoms all over the road on both sides of the road.

At this time, it is the mid-spring season, and the peach blossoms of 10,000 acres are competing to open, competing for beauty, stretching and undulating for hundreds of miles. Everywhere you pass along the way, you can smell the fragrance of flowers from time to time, and there are peach springs everywhere. Several people sat in the carriage and breathed the mixed fragrance, admiring the red and pink peach blossoms, and all kinds of sorrows in their hearts disappeared, and the mood was comfortable and happy.

"Huh! Good! This year's peach blossoms are in full bloom. Brother Xingchuan, I remember that you and I came to this Wanxian County three years ago, and the peach blossoms at that time were far from this year! Fan Jin said with a smile.

"Brother Fan doesn't know, Wanxian County is close to the mountains, and there has been a waterlogging disaster in the past two years, and the strange thing is that the waterlogging is only in Wanxian County, but it can't reach our Qingdu County. With the flooding, the peach trees did not grow well, and naturally there were few trees that could bloom. But this year, Wanxian County is in good weather, and the peach blossoms are naturally blooming everywhere! Lu Xingchuan explained,

"Haha! The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze! It's a great view, it's a really good view! Fan Jin looked into the distance and sighed in admiration.

After walking for about fifty or sixty miles, the fragrance of the peach blossoms became more and more intense as it approached noon, and in the depths of the peach blossoms, there were tall city walls in the shadows.

The county seat of Wanxian has arrived.

The Zhang family of Wanxian County lives in the county seat, Fan Jin and Lu Xingchuan discussed that April 12 is the Peach Blossom Festival, and Zhang Jian will hold a peach blossom festival on a lonely mountain called "Yiqi Mountain" outside the city of Wanxian County. They simply gathered in Yiqi Mountain on the 12th. There is no need to go to Zhang's house today and tomorrow.

Taking advantage of tomorrow's situation, the brothers took a good walk around the city, admiring the beautiful peach blossoms.

I found a clean and tidy inn in Wanxian County and rested for an afternoon. On the second day, I went to the city and outside the city to enjoy the scenery.

In the past two days, Zhou Zhi has not read a single page of a book, nor has he written an article. I hesitated a little today and wanted to write a few eight-strand articles in the inn. But then I thought that it was a pity that I missed the Peach Blossom Festival, which is very difficult to encounter in Wanxian.

Although in later generations, Zhou Zhi also came to the area of Wanxian to enjoy the peach blossoms, and he was immersed in it, which has a unique charm. But the state of mind in the Ming Dynasty is obviously very different from that in later generations.

Although it will be the government exam in a few days, how much progress can be made at this time when it is reading books and writing? The so-called "grinding guns in battle, not fast and light" and the like are just self-deception. I can't say that I can relax my mood and clear my mind in the past few days before I can get a good result in the exam.

With such an idea, Zhou Zhi had no scruples, and walked around the county with everyone in a relaxed manner, and then went directly to the outside of the city.

Although Qi Yanwu does not have the Yaxing who appreciates the peach blossoms and indulges in them like any literati, as Zhou Zhi's bodyguard, he still has to be patient and follow Zhou Zhi's side closely.

In the past few days, Wanxian County seems to be overcrowded, and rich businessmen and literati from all over the world gather here to admire the peach blossoms and drink the best Taoyuan wine, which is as beautiful as it is.

There are many people in the city, but there are also more people outside the city.

A few people had just left the city gate, and Fan Jin Che Lang and the others were even more interested, especially Che Lang, who plunged into the peach orchard after a burst of cheers.

Zhou Zhi, Lu Xingchuan and others followed, Qi Yanwu suddenly felt a little stomachache, and whispered in Zhou Zhi's ear, "Brother, you are waiting for me in front, I ...... I'll go make it easier. ”

"Xiao Wu, are you okay?" Zhou Zhixuan asked with a concerned face.

During the two days on the road, Zhou Zhi found that Qi Yanwu was not in good spirits and was obviously unwell. Qi Yanwu hurriedly said, "I'm fine, brother, it's just that the carriage has been bumpy in the past two days, and I'm a little nauseous."

Brother, alas! Speaking of which, Xiao Wu is a cheap life, and he can't sit in the carriage. If Xiao Wu is allowed to come all the way, Xiao Wu will be fine. ”

What he said was also true, Zhou Zhi had already discovered that Qi Yanwu actually didn't like to ride in a carriage. However, according to Qi Yanwu, he is a good horse rider.

This man! Sometimes it's a little weird.

"If Xiao Wu is unwell, just go back to the inn to rest, and my brother will be fine." Zhou Zhidao.

"No, my brother is waiting for Xiao Wu at the bottom of the mountain in front, and Xiao Wu will arrive later!" Qi Yanwu suddenly said firmly.

"Huh! Xiao Wu is a tough temper! Zhou Zhi shook his head with a smile.

Then Qi Yanwu ran away.

Zhou Zhi followed Fan into Che Lang and followed the path in the peach orchard and went straight to the foot of Yiqi Mountain.

Tomorrow, Zhang Jian will hold a peach blossom festival on Yiqi Mountain, and there will be many literati and scholars gathered here to drink papers. Therefore, today on this lonely mountain, there are many people who are busy setting up color sheds, placing tables and chairs, etc.

There are even circus troupe members shuttling through it, carrying things, and it seems that they are going to sing on stage tomorrow.

"Huh! Tomorrow is a grand event, and it will definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime lively scene! The old man has finally come to the right place this time! Fan Jin laughed and said.

He loves to be lively, and he is even more energetic at this time.

"Brother Fan, tomorrow's sword may have to take advantage of the grand event to come up with a trick, and it will be an eye-opener!" Lu Xingchuan Road.

"Tricks? What tricks can there be, it's nothing more than a wine fight, by the way, the old man seems to have heard yesterday that Zhang Jian invited a man named Mr. Junchuan from Lankao. Mr. Na Junchuan is good at writing poems. Zhang Jian invited him, hum! It seems that he wants him to make a name for himself in our area tomorrow through this peach blossom festival! Fan Jin suddenly frowned.

As soon as Fan Jin's words fell, he heard someone shouting not far behind him, "Go and see, the fight has started, there are people fighting there, it seems that they are all strong martial artists!" ”

But wherever there are many people, there will be people who will fight and cause trouble. Zhou Zhi didn't feel any surprises. But Qi Yanwu obviously left for a while, he said that he would come back as soon as possible, why hasn't he come back yet. It can't be Qi Yanwu who is in trouble, right?

Zhou Zhi thought like this, and then looked at Fan Jin and the others, "A few brothers, the younger brother go over and take a look!" ”

Several people knew that Qi Yanwu's martial arts were not bad, but the person who shouted was talking about people with strong martial arts fighting, and they all thought of Qi Yanwu. Then he returned with Zhou Zhi in a hurry.

Among the 10,000 acres of peach orchards, there was a wide place, which was crowded with people at this time. Zhou Zhi reluctantly squeezed in a little, stood on tiptoe and looked inside, and was immediately surprised.
