Baishi Mountain Castle is located on the north bank of Banzai Pond in the north of the city, sitting in the north and facing south, built against the mountain, like a small-scale military fortress. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the whole city is built with a unique white stone, the city wall is as high as three zhang, the momentum is majestic from afar, extremely magnificent.

Coming to the suspension bridge outside the city gate, Sun Yueling sent someone to report and stood by the bridge to wait. After a while, I saw the city gate wide open, the sling was lowered, and a person rushed out of the city gate, and said loudly: "Brother Sun, you are finally here, we have been waiting for this day, but we have been waiting for a long time." "It is Ma Hou, one of the seven unique mountain cities.

Sun Yueling greeted him and said with a smile: "Brother Mahou, I have long wanted to come to this mountain city to visit everyone, but I have been busy with affairs, and I didn't spare time until today, so I really don't want to go." ”

Ma Hou also smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and Brother Sun is even more heroic. You and my brother, I can naturally understand your intentions, but our Miss Chu has been looking forward to you for a long time, so you have to explain to her face to face. She is a girl's family, she can't let her be cheeky to find you, haha...... "From BJ back to SC Sun Yueling and Chu Xinying have been with each other for thousands of miles, and they have been intimate all the way, and these things will always fall in their eyes from time to time, so Ma Hou said with such a smile."

When Sun Yueling heard this, he only felt embarrassed, and he dealt with it with it, and said, "That's that, naturally I want to confess to Miss Chu, if I don't have to take care of you all the way, how can I enter Sichuan so smoothly?" ”

Ma Hou led them to the gate of the mountain city, and continued to smile: "Brother Sun, why did you become so polite when you came to our Baishi Mountain City, this is not in line with your usual style?" ”

Sun Yueling had something in his heart, and this time he came on behalf of the governor's yamen, so he was naturally a lot more restrained, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't laugh at me, although you and I have been friends for a long time, but after all, this is the first time I have come to the mountain city, and I am about to meet Miss Chu's brother, Chu Zhennan, the young lord of the mountain city, I am naturally worried!" ”

Ma Hou smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'm going to see my brother-in-law soon, of course I'm worried, I can understand this." ”

Sun Yueling punched him and scolded with a smile: "Hugh has to talk nonsense, if this word falls on other people's ears, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this mountain gate." ”

Ma Hou laughed and said: "What are you afraid of, I see that Miss Chu is extraordinary to you, but I am afraid that she has fallen in love with you, even if Yang Lin's kid has a wrong thought, what can he do?" ”

Sun Yueling hurriedly diverted the topic, he didn't plan to entangle this matter with him, why didn't he find out that this monkey was a big tongue before, and he didn't have a word about it, how could he let him chew his tongue indiscriminately?

The entrance is a stone wall of light, after the wall, only to see a tall stone archway standing in front, on the book "loyalty, martyrdom and benevolence" four big characters, a straight bluestone road leads to the front hall, both sides are planted with pine and cypress, the house is hidden in the meantime, the scenery is deep.

The palace in front of the group of pavilions is magnificent, the bucket arches fly eaves, the carved beams and paintings are built, especially the stone steps of the main hall are squatting on the left and right sides of a tall stone lion, awe-inspiring, and add some majesty and mystery to the main hall.

After entering the main hall, I saw a person who greeted him first, this person was about thirty years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, and a majestic spirit exuded from his body; Dressed in a gorgeous Shu brocade silk robe, draped in a dark blue gown, with a jade-colored brocade belt tied around his waist, and a colorful sword hanging, he looked extremely rich and generous.

This person's appearance is very similar to Chu Xinying, and he must be Chu Zhennan, the young city lord of Baishi Mountain City.

Without waiting for Ma Hou to open his mouth, Sun Yueling hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "Jiangnan Shi Sun Yueling has seen the lord of Chu Shao in Baishi Mountain City. ”

His statement is very exquisite, if he calls himself a sc patrol, it will inevitably seem a bit exaggerated; If you call yourself a master who cares about the east hall of the hall, it seems a little estranged - calling yourself a Jiangnan scholar does not pretend to be a gesture, but also secretly shows that he is a down-and-out literati in Jiangnan, if it were not for the rescue of Mengde Mountain City, there would be no achievements for him today, and the words imply that he is full of gratitude to the mountain city.

When Chu Zhennan heard this, he was even more open-minded, Sun Yueling in front of him really didn't forget his roots, no wonder everyone praised him; Since he met according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, he immediately bowed his hand and said with a smile: "The patrol lord has come to the mountain city, and the grass hut is shining, please take a seat." Holding his hand cordially, the two walked together towards the hall.

Sun Yueling never expected Chu Zhennan to be so enthusiastic, and his heart was even more moved, and when he looked around, he saw Chu Xinying, Ye Gongbing, Yang Lin and other old people standing aside, smiling at him, only a tall, dark-faced old man looked at him expressionlessly, and did not seem to be very happy about his arrival.

Everyone sat down in turn in the hall, and after the people served the fragrant tea, Chu Zhennan smiled heartily and said: "Chu has heard about the deeds of Lord Sun for a long time, when Lord Sun and her sister went to southern Liaoning together to help General Mao recover the country, and later exterminated the incense society in Beijing, and made countless contributions to the care hall, Lord Sun is really a loyal man for the country!" ”

This praise made Sun Yueling extremely ashamed, and hurriedly said humbly: "Where and where, the reason why we can have today's achievements is all due to the fact that Miss Chu and Yuan Protector did not hesitate to save each other, if there was no strong help from the mountain city, how could there be today's Sun Yueling." The lord of Chu City must not call him Lord Sun, just call me Sun Yueling. ”

Chu Zhennan laughed and said: "Brother Sun is too modest, Chu heard your story from Sister Shemei and Brother Shancheng, and knew that you entered Sichuan this time to suppress the rebellion in southern Sichuan. ”

Sun Yueling hurriedly said: "The young city lord has a good reputation, Sun Mou came this time, although he is responsible for exterminating the rebels in southern Sichuan, but to be honest, I have admired the young city lord for a long time, even if there is no heavy burden of suppressing the cowards, this Baishi Mountain City will definitely come to worship the mountain to thank you, in order to express the gratitude of Miss Mengchu for saving her." ”

Chu Xinying smiled when she heard this: "Brother Sun is polite again, if it wasn't for your strong help back then, we might not be able to help General Mao take Zhenjiang in one fell swoop!" ”

Ma Hou also shouted loudly and said, "That's it, why does Brother Sun have to talk about the word thank you all day long?" You used to be a member of our White Rock Mountain City, have you always regarded yourself as an outsider? ”

Sun Yueling said with a smile: "What Brother Mahou said is that I am too outward. To be honest, in my heart, I have always regarded Baishi Mountain City as my own faction, but I don't know what the young city lord means, so I don't dare to make a mistake and talk about it! ”

Chu Zhennan glanced at Chu Xinying and said with a smile: "Since Brother Sun does not dislike us and other people in the mountain city, we naturally welcome Brother Sun, and regard you as a brother in the mountain city. ”

Sun Yueling was waiting for such a sentence, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said to Chu Zhennan: "Thank you to the young city lord for your love, in the future, Sun will regard this Baishi Mountain City as his homeland. ”

Before the words fell, he heard a cold snort and said: "Lord Sun, as a sc patrol according to the imperial history, is in a high position, how dare we and other mountain city grass people dare to climb the important members of the imperial court, it is better to keep a distance from Lord Sun, so as not to cause criticism from others." Presumably this is also a good thing for Lord Sun, otherwise I am afraid that someone in the court will impeach Lord Sun for befriending the merchants and magnates, which is not a good thing for Lord Sun's career. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, but they didn't expect someone to say such a bad thing.

Sun Yueling looked at the person who spoke in surprise, it was the black-faced old man who was standing aside when he first entered the door, who was sitting opposite him at this moment, and couldn't help but say to him: "This senior, I don't know what to call him?" ”

Chu Zhennan hurriedly introduced: "Brother Sun, this is the right protector of our mountain city, the old man Tu Pingtu. ”

Sun Yueling said "oh", it turned out that this person was the right protector of the mountain city, and Yuan Hongdao, the left protector of the mountain city who was kind to him, wanted to have a more respected status in the mountain city, otherwise he would not dare to interject like this, and said to him: "It turned out to be the old man of the mountain city Tu Protector, who admired the name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really a blessing for three lives!" ”

Tu Ping snorted heavily between his nostrils, turned his face to the side, and did not answer, his attitude was quite arrogant.

Sun Yueling continued to talk to himself, and said: "Old man Tu said that being in a high position in the lower body and making friends with businessmen will be very unfavorable to the career of the lower officials. Speaking from the heart, without the rescue of Baishi Mountain City back then, there would be no achievements of my Sun Yueling today. Therefore, in my heart, I am full of feelings for Baishi Mountain City, and I regard Mountain City as my new home in SC, and after returning to Mountain City, I feel like I have returned to my hometown after a long absence. After a pause, he added, "Even if I lose my official position and abandon my position, I can't change my original intention, and I will never forget the kindness of Shancheng to me." ”

When he said this, there was a sound on the ground, Ma Hou and the others couldn't help but shout loudly and echoed, and even Chu Xinying cast an admiring glance at him.

"That's right, Brother Sun really values love and righteousness!" Chu Zhennan stroked his palms and smiled, turned his head to Tu Ping and said, "Old man Tu, although Brother Sun is a sc patrol, it is not a big deal to intersect with us. Since ancient times, if officials want to govern the locality, they have to have a good relationship with the local rich gentry and magnates, this kind of thing is nothing now, you always worry about it! ”

What he said was true, many officials on one side of the government relied on the local rich gentry and powerful people to govern the localities, and if they relied solely on the power of the government, it would be difficult to carry out many government affairs. Moreover, most of the people who are officials in the court now have the support of local magnates behind them, and even those Donglin party members in the court have the support of the big chaebols in Jiangnan behind them.

Although Tu Ping was unhappy when he heard this, he didn't speak again after all, just drank tea in a muffled voice.
