Chapter 170: A Chance Encounter
Shilong Village, located in the northeast of Yangshi County, is located at the corner of the Yangtze River, with the Yangtze River in the west and north, and the Horseshoe Mountain 3 miles away in the east.
Horseshoe Mountain is the northern branch of the Yiling Mountain Range, hundreds of meters high, starting from Shilong Village across most of Yangshi County.
Due to the high and dangerous terrain, Horseshoe Mountain has become a natural barrier between the eastern part of Yangshi County and the western part of Baisha County under the command of Kong Youde, and Shilong Village is only less than 20 miles away from Dongyue Town, an important border town in the eastern part of Yangshi County, where 4,000 elite Liangshan troops under Huo Jun are stationed.
At this time, the sky is already bright, and in the early summer morning, the ground is filled with mist, and the fresh and transparent air seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts and spleens, and every breath makes people feel refreshed.
Bursts of laughter were heard on the road outside Shilong Village, and a group of young girls were walking together to the stream 100 meters outside the village, holding a wooden basin in both hands.
These girls are all peasant girls in Shilong Village, the older ones are only in their early 20s, and the younger ones are all in their prime, all dressed simply, talking and laughing while walking, more than ten people gathered together to exude the unique innocent and splendid atmosphere of peasant girls.
"Wan'er, I heard that Zhong Xiucai from Dalanao has found someone to propose to your brother, is there such a thing?"
In the center of the crowd, a girl with a yellowish complexion and a few freckles on her face turned her head to her companion and said curiously.
Next to the girl who spoke was a girl wearing a moon-white cloth shirt, in the middle of the twenty-eight flowers, a light green belt was gently tied to the willow waist of Yingying's hand, and the hips and waist swayed left and right when walking, revealing a moving demeanor, and the pure and beautiful face exuded the innocence and vitality unique to the girl.
The girl's name is Feng Wan, she lives in Shilong Village for a long time, and has two older brothers.
"Humph! What are you doing with that sour show, you don't look like a man for a day, I asked my brother to push it! ”
Feng Wan shook her head arrogantly and said, speaking with a bit of a man's boldness and heroism.
"Ahh Wan'er, did you refuse? The Zhong family is also a big family within a radius of dozens of miles in our area, and Zhong Xiucai used to be a famous talent, where can I find such a good match! ”
As soon as Feng Wan's words fell, a group of girls around her all showed regret on their faces.
The Zhong Xiucai in their mouths is named Zhong Wankui, who was originally a Jinshi in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, quite talented, and the Zhong family was also a big family, although it was quite declining after coming to this world, it was also the number one big family in the north of Yangshi County, and the family wealth was quite rich, and it was definitely the prince charming in the minds of other girls in Shilong Village.
"Humph! That sour show is powerless, and he only knows how to talk about it for a day, what is the use of being rich in family resources in this troubled era? If you don't have the help of your father, you will be taken advantage of by others sooner or later. The husband I'm looking for Feng Wan'er is a big hero and a big hero who can fight on the battlefield."
Feng Wan'er stopped when she heard this, and said proudly with her right hand on her waist.
"Haha, okay, it turns out that Wan'er also misses men!"
"Wan'er misses a man!"
Feng Wan'er's pride and ambition did not last, and as soon as the words came out, she was ridiculed unscrupulously by the girls around her.
"Shut up! You're thinking about men! ”
Feng Wan'er's face was flushed, and she no longer had the slightest arrogant look, and she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled them, trying to stop them from talking any more.
For a while, more than a dozen people laughed.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
Just as Feng Wan'er and the others were fighting, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and through the mist, they vaguely saw several men riding horses on the road north of the village entrance.
The sudden appearance of the knights interrupted the laughter, and they slowly came to the front of the village under their gaze.
"Little ladies, may I ask if this is Shilong Village?"
Soon, several knights came up to the group of girls, and a young man arched his hand at them and asked politely.
I saw that this young man was about 20 years old, wearing a long robe, with a slender posture, a heroic face, and an extraordinary bearing.
has been in a high position for a long time, and Sima Yu's bearing has long been incomparable to ordinary people, coupled with the continuous deepening of martial arts, his body is mixed with a martial artist's sharpness.
Where have these little peasant ladies seen such a handsome young man as Sima Yu with such an extraordinary bearing, under his heroic and sharp gaze, one by one shy, no longer had the cool energy that he had just laughed at Feng Wan's childhood, they all lowered their heads and couldn't speak.
"This is Shilong Village, what are you going to do?"
In the end, Feng Wan'er, who was a little better-born, had seen a little more of the world, barely suppressed the shame in her heart, and said with a blushing face.
"Oh? We want to find the two brothers Feng Guoyong and Feng Sheng, I don't know if they are in this Shilong Village? ”
Looking at Feng Wan'er with a heroic face, Sima Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up, it was definitely an unexpected joy to meet a beautiful woman like Feng Wan'er in a small village like Shilong Village.
"How do you know that my eldest brother and second brother live here?"
Hearing this, the expression on Feng Wan'er's face changed suddenly, the shame on her face disappeared, and she immediately subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Sima Yudao with a vigilant face.
"Oh! Haha, I don't want the little lady to be the sister of the two Feng brothers, it seems that I really asked the right person! ”
Sima Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then grinned.
Feng Guoyong and Feng Sheng, the two brothers were both from Dingyuan, Haozhou, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and they liked to study when they were young and knew the art of war. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the peasant rebels around the country revolted against the oppression of Yuan and Mongolia, and the two brothers formed their own arms, gathered hundreds of people to protect themselves, and then attached to Zhu Yuanzhang's account, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang all the way to make countless contributions, and was the founding general of the early Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately, Sima Yu has Gu Changfeng, the former Jinyi Wei Qianhu who knows about the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and his understanding, otherwise it is very likely that the two big bulls who are hiding here will miss it.
Therefore, Sima Yu, who led his troops through this place this time, came specially to visit Feng Guoyong and Feng Sheng.
"What are you looking for my two brothers?"
Perhaps it was Sima Yu's hearty smile that moved Feng Wan'er, she tilted her head and looked at it for a while, feeling that the handsome young man in front of her didn't seem to be like a bad person and asked.
"It's nothing, but I heard that the two brothers of the little lady are well-known heroes, so I came to meet and want to get acquainted! Could it be that the rumors are false? ”
Sima Yu took charge of the drama of the people in the rivers and lakes, arched his hand, and said with a questioning look on his face at the end, and there was a bit of disappointment in his voice.
"How can it be fake, my eldest brother and second brother are really capable people! If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see my eldest brother and second brother! ”
Feng Wan'er has always had great respect for the two brothers on weekdays, but when she heard this, she immediately became anxious, and the doubts in her heart were instantly thrown to Java, and she put down the wooden basin in her hand and directly took Sima Yu's right hand and walked towards Shilong Village in a hurry.
This stunned Sima Yu, but he didn't expect Feng Wan'er to be so impatient, but she also enjoyed the wonderful touch of the girl's tenderness, and stopped the guards behind her who wanted to do it with her eyes, and followed Feng Wan'er to Shilong Village.
