After the Huai River is the boundary of Henan, go to the ancient city, Xiangcheng, and bypass Xuanyuan Mountain is the boundary of Luoyang. As Su Ren expected, everything went very smoothly, Liu Xiao never sent anyone again, and no one else bothered him. The counties and counties that passed through sent grain, grass and supplies to Su Ren's men and horses in accordance with regulations. Su Ren didn't deliberately disturb the lives of these people, and tried not to go into the town if he could, but if he couldn't, he would arrange the camp outside the city and send people to the city to buy some things.

Xuanyuan Mountain is named after Emperor Xuanyuan, the ancestor of the Chinese nation. According to legend, in ancient times, Emperor Xuanyuan once lived here during the decisive battle between Emperor Xuanyuan and Chiyou. This mountain is very different from the nearby mountains, not to mention that not a single inch of grass grows, it is still red. Even the water that flows down from the mountains is red, and you can tell at a glance that the water contains red minerals.

The mountain is neither steep nor tall, and walking at the foot of the mountain under the scorching sun makes it more and more unbearable. The car was so stuffy that Su Ren didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour, so it was better to ride on a horse, which was a little windy. Looking up at the bare ridge, I suddenly found that there was a pavilion halfway up the mountain, and I was looking for a place to hide from the heat, and this small pavilion was a good choice.

"Order, go there and take a rest, it's too hot to walk! Let people go to find some water, and if they continue like this, they will die of thirst? I've never seen a place like this when I went there. ”

Hawking hurriedly said: "When I went, I took another road, this is a short road, you don't need to go through Luoyi, you can enter Wuguan directly, and it will be almost half a month." ”

Climb up to the gazebo with difficulty, sit on the ground with a butt, the mountain wind blowing from the face, not to mention the comfort. It's a pity that the pavilion is too small to accommodate everyone, except for Su Ren and the others, the rest of the people are all looking for boulders and the protrusion of the mountain, hiding under the shade. I asked for some water from the village at the bottom of the mountain, and after a few mouthfuls of water, I finally quenched my thirst.

Lying on the ground, Su Ren wanted to sleep beautifully, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never rush at noon in the summer again, even if someone held a sword around his neck.

Liu Shuang's injury has scabbed under Chun Yuyi's treatment, and his back is itchy and unbearable, and he will inadvertently scratch it twice, sometimes the force is not well controlled, and the blood does not stop, dyeing a large piece of thin clothes red. Chun Yuyi would frown and scold for a long time while taking the medicine, and Liu Shuang could only bow his head and endure it.

As long as Su Ren ordered to rest, it would be endless, and he would not set off until Su Ren felt that he had rested enough, so the whole team liked Su Ren, except for Li Danghu, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Chang'an, Li Danghu couldn't wait to fly home, so he walked faster and faster. Li Danghu also found an excuse, saying that this was a march, and the march had to be like this, and it was difficult for others to say anything, but they complained in their hearts.

Seeing that the sun was moving westward a little bit, Su Ren had no plans to set off, so Li Danghu came over to urge.

Su Ren's eyes were hazy, he was really asleep, riding a horse is also a very tiring thing, don't think it's easy to ride, you have to keep balance on the horse, and you have to control the horse, and you have to work hard all over your body. With Su Ren's horseback riding technique with two knives, he was already tired after walking all morning.

"What's the hurry, it's too hot, what should I do if I get heat stroke? If everyone is sick, we will go back even more far away, as the so-called sharpening knives do not mistake the woodcutter, now the rest is good, in order to continue to rush in the future, you see that the sun is still overhead, and it is not too late to set off when the mountain is about to set. ”

"It's dangerous to travel at night, and it's in the mountains again!"

"It's okay, light more torches, there won't be a problem, it's cool at night and it's good to hurry, look at how many people are rushing at this time?"

Su Ren didn't finish his words, and at the end of the mountain road, an ox cart slowly turned around from the foot of the mountain. An old cow pulled a broken car, and there were two people, an old man and a young man, the young man was driving the car, and the old man was sitting on the car and napping. The ox cart walked very slowly, and the old ox had a brass bell around its neck, and every step it made a pleasant sound, which was very pleasant to hear in response from the valley.

Li Danghu looked at Su Ren, and Su Ren hurriedly said: "Those two people can't help it, we don't have to be in such a hurry." ”

Li Danghu glared at Su Ren, there was really no way to take Su Ren, who made the family a Shangguan who was personally sealed by His Majesty, stomped his feet and turned his head away. Su Yi turned around, leaned against the pillar, and looked at the ox cart under the mountain.

Although Xuanyuan Mountain is not big, it is also a mountain, and there are only a few families in the villages under the mountain, not to mention that the ox carts do not even have a few basic farm tools. Where did this ox cart come from? There is also an old man and a young man, and he must not be too far away, but the two of them are dressed a little strangely, the young man is wearing short clothes, and the driving skills are very skillful and different from ordinary people's children. What is even more strange is that instead of being afraid, the people who saw the mountains and fields continued to approach.

Han Qing leaned over to Su Ren's side: "Sir, I think this old and young man is a little strange. ”

Su Ren nodded: "It's indeed a little strange. ”

"Do you want to stop and ask?"

"Forget it, the old and the young are no threat to us, if they are really passing by, it is not easy to disturb."

When the ox cart entered the mountain pass, the young man found Su Ren and the others on the mountain, turned around and said a few words to the old man, and the old man turned his head to look. When the ox cart came directly below Su Ren, it actually stopped. The young man packed up his whip and reins, got out of the car and helped the old man down, looked up at the pavilion on the mountainside, and walked towards the mountain.

Su Ren became interested in this old man and young man, and stopped Hawking and the others from stopping the two of them, so he sat in the gazebo and waited.

Walking up the mountain from the heavy surrounding, the old and the young did not panic at all, went straight into the pavilion, and found a place for Su Renshi, who was sitting, and the young man helped the old man to sit down, standing beside the old man in a proper manner.

Su Ren kept watching, and waited until the old man sat down before he said, "Where are you going, old man?" There should be something urgent about traveling in such a hot weather, right? ”

The old man saluted again: "Don't dare, don't dare, the old man doesn't have any urgency, just come out and go around." ”

"Oh? The old gentleman is the one who is close to the left? ”

The old man shook his head: "The old ancestor is from the Song Kingdom, and it is not far from here. ”

"Song Guo?" Su Ren was puzzled, and hurriedly looked at Han Qing and Master Father Yan beside him.

The master father smiled: "The Song Kingdom is a country in the Spring and Autumn Period, built by Wei Ziqi, the elder brother of Zhou Gongdan Feng Wang, according to the current geography, the old gentleman should live in the Liang Kingdom, how did he get here?" ”

The old man glanced at the master father: "What this gentleman said is very true, the old man came all the way from the Liang Kingdom, and he arrived here today. ”

"Where is the old gentleman going?" Han Qing hurriedly asked.

The old man shook his head: "It's just to come out and go around, and wherever you go, you are where you are." ”

"This road leads to Wuguan to the west, and after Wuguan is Lantian, and then you can go to Chang'an, and the old gentleman wants to go to Chang'an?"

The old man still shook his head: "I was going to go to Chang'an, but it's a pity that there is no place for old decay in Chang'an today, so don't go!" ”

"Oh? What does the old gentleman mean by this? ”

"Last year, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered to move Chang'an Haoqiang to Maoling, although the old man was old, he was also considered Haoqiang, and now there are several grandchildren in the family who have been forcibly relocated to Maoling, and if he goes to Maoling with his old and decrepit body, it may be difficult to return to his homeland, so he doesn't go."

Su Ren asked, "The old gentleman is also from a strong background?" ”

The old man smiled and waved his hand: "It happened decades ago, don't mention it!" How many of them are from Huiji? Can you know Dr. Guanglu and Su Zhonglang? ”

Hawking and the others immediately looked at Su Ren. Su Ren smiled: "The old gentleman knows Su Ren? ”

The old man shook his head: "I don't know, but Su Ren's name is like thunder, and he will fight a battle, and only use 10,000 soldiers to solve the problems that have not been solved since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Such a great credit is known to the world, and the old decay naturally knows it. ”

"Hehe, how can the old gentleman see that we are from Huiji?"

The old man smiled, and Han Qing said: "This gentleman just said that this road leads to Wuguan to the west, but he forgot to go east to Henan. ”

"Well, the old gentleman has a unique vision! Yes, we are here from Huiji! ”

"Oh? I don't know which one is Su Zhonglang? ”

"I am!"

An old man and a young man hurriedly got up and saluted Su Ren. Su Ren waved his hand: "The old gentleman is polite, looking at the old gentleman's appearance is not an ordinary person, I don't know what to look for?" ”

The old man nodded slightly: "Su Zhonglang is indeed as rumored to be, very smart, since he is so old, he will tell him bluntly, he does have something to ask Su Zhonglang, and ask Su Zhonglang to give him a convenience." ”

"Old gentleman, please speak!"

"I don't know whose suggestion it was for Your Majesty to move Hao into Maoling?"

Su Ren shook his head: "I really don't know this, according to my guess, Lang Dongfang Shuo is the most suspicious, he is now in Maoling, responsible for the mausoleum." ”

The old man glanced at Su Ren and saluted again: "Hey! The East is misleading! ”

"What does the old gentleman mean by that?"

"Move Haoqiang to Maoling and die for nine lives, these Haoqiang are all brave and ruthless people, if they gather to make trouble, what should they do? Maoling is an imperial tomb, and a slight flash has disturbed the royal luck, making the world turbulent, so the sin is great! ”

Han Qing frowned slightly, but Su Ren smiled and said, "Maoling has a large number of soldiers and horses, even if it is strong and fierce, it is not the opponent of the Northern Army?" ”

"Su Zhonglang's words are wrong, one or two are naturally fine, Zhonglang knows how many heroes there are in Maoling today? The land of Sanfu plus a radius of thousands of miles, now gathered around Maoling has reached 10,000 households, if someone raises his arms and shouts, even if the northern army can be wiped out in time, it will be a catastrophe! When Su Zhonglang comes back this time, he should talk to His Majesty, and he must not follow the old path of tyrannical Qin! ”

Su Ren pondered quietly and looked at the old man for a long time before asking, "Who is the old gentleman?" ”
