Chapter Thirty-Nine
"Ahh By the way, Miss Wang, I have a photo of Uncle Ye, I'll show it to you and then you decide......" Kang Jia said and was about to take out her mobile phone, but she immediately remembered that the mobile phone was also a secret that Shang Tao could not be known by outsiders, so the action was immediately there. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Miss Kang, what's the photo?" Wang Xiaoying asked curiously.
"Ah, nothing, nothing? I'm mistaken, look at my memory, let's go to bed, we have to get up early tomorrow to hurry, and it will be dawn in a few hours. Konka hurriedly fooled over.
In the early morning of the next day, Shang Tao and more than ten other people rode horses in the direction of Diezhang Pass.
Because Wang Xiaoying can't ride a horse, so she rides with Konka, naturally, Shang Tao loses the opportunity to ride with Konka, but fortunately, Shang Tao can barely ride a horse alone now, as long as he doesn't run at high speed for a long time or do any difficult actions, he doesn't have to worry about falling off the horse.
Along the way, Wang Xiaoying looked worried, and Shang Tao couldn't help asking, "Is there anything on Miss Wang's mind?" ”
Wang Xiaoying glanced at Shang Tao with complicated eyes, looking like she wanted to say something, and finally didn't say anything, only shook her head slightly.
As she is now, a fool can see that she has something on her mind, but since people don't want to say it, Shang Tao can't help it.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Shang Tao saw from a distance that there was a faint continuous mountain range in front of him, and on one of the peaks, a tower-like building was erected.
"Uncle Kang, is that the Light Letter Tower?" Shang Tao asked curiously.
"Yes, that is the Guangxin Tower, because around the Stacked Peak Pass, there are only the first line of passes, the Tiger Roar Pass and the Fengluan City, so the Guangxin Tower of the Stacked Peak Pass has only three mouths, and the tower is built directly on the top of the mountain, so this tower is relatively short." Kang Di cleared his throat and continued: "Some big cities in the Central Plains, the largest Guangxin Tower, even as many as sixteen, can communicate with the surrounding sixteen cities at the same time, that kind of Guangxin Tower can be described as majestic and majestic. ”
Shang Tao couldn't help but yearn for it, and one day he would go to the kind of big city in Kang Di's mouth to see it.
At six o'clock in the evening, a group of people stopped at a place about five miles away from the Stacked Ridge Pass, at this time the Stacked Ridge Pass was already close in front of them, the rolling mountains were in a north-south direction, there was no end in sight, the mountains were stacked on top of each other, no wonder it would be named Stacked Ridge Pass.
"Uncle Kang, didn't you say that this prairie is in the north of the Tang Dynasty? Why does this mountain range move north-south? Shang Tao asked puzzled.
"Oh, it's less than a hundred miles in a north-south trend, in fact, in terms of the overall trend, this mountain range is still in an east-west trend." Kang explained.
"I see."
Shang Tao looked at the huge cylindrical Guangxin Tower on the top of the mountain, only to see that the top of the tower, which extended out a small section twice towards the north and south, and listened to Kang Di say that it was actually two lamp tubes with a diameter of more than three meters, the one facing south was responsible for communicating with the first line pass, and the one facing north was responsible for communicating with the tiger roaring pass.
In fact, on the back of this light letter tower, there is also such a lamp tube, which is responsible for communicating with the peak city in the Guannai.
"Brother Shang Gongzi, are you okay?" Konka urged dissatisfiedly.
"Oh, here it is." Shang Tao hurriedly walked towards Konka's location.
Konka is going to put on makeup for Shang Tao, otherwise his complexion is too white and fine, better than the skin of a girl in Konka, unlike people who live in the grassland all the year round, and his short hair does not meet the characteristics of the Central Plains, besides, even if he wears a wig, he can't pretend to be a citizen of the Central Plains, because he doesn't have a household registration certificate.
So the easiest way is to pretend to be a steppe tribe, so that you can enter the customs as long as you spend a little money and get a temporary passport.
Just when Konka was putting on Shang Tao's makeup, Wang Xiaoying walked over hesitantly.
"Shang Gongzi, I... I...... I want to be your concubine, to serve you alone for the rest of my life, and I beg you to keep me by your side. I... I... I ......" Wang Xiaoying said this passage with difficulty, and cried "wow" as she spoke.
Then, Wang Xiaoying knelt down in front of Konka with a "plop", and then apologized to Konka while crying bitterly: "I'm sorry, Sister Konka, I really didn't want to rob Shang Gongzi with you, I... I am really desperate, I can't go home, or the patriarch will definitely hand me over to the Porji tribe and use my life to appease the anger of their patriarch's only son being killed.
When Konka heard Wang Xiaoying say that she wanted to be Shang Tao's woman, she was stunned at first, and then she was angry, she kindly wanted to introduce her to Ye Maoyan, but she didn't agree, and now she ran over and said that she wanted to be Shang Tao's concubine, didn't she make it clear that she wanted to rob a man with herself?
Then, when she saw Wang Xiaoying kneeling down in front of her with a "plop" and apologized to herself, Konka relented a little.
Anyway, Wang Xiaoying is also the daughter of the Xizhou Wang family, and her identity is not much worse than herself, if you put aside the illusory identity of the princess of the previous dynasty, Wang Xiaoying's identity may be more noble than herself.
If she wasn't really desperate, how could she be willing to be a concubine? You must know that in terms of identity, she will be pressed hard in the future, and after her death, Wang Xiaoying will not even be able to enter the ancestral grave of the Shang family.
"What's going on?" Shang Tao was a little confused by the second monk.
Ten minutes later, Shang Tao finally figured out the twists and turns, it turned out that the cold arrogance of this beautiful lady was all pretended.
Although Wang Xiaoying carried her household registration certificate on her body, she didn't dare to show it, because her identity was the daughter of the Wang family in Xizhou, and Diezhang Pass was within the scope of Xizhou, and it was naturally within the sphere of influence of the Wang family.
Therefore, seeing that this was about to reach the Stacked Peaks Pass, Wang Xiaoying finally couldn't bear the psychological pressure and collapsed.
It's no wonder that after all, a little girl who is only fourteen years old, in the future life on earth, is still just a junior high school student who has just entered the first grade of junior high school, and maybe she will have to be picked up by her parents when she goes to and from school.
"Otherwise, you go back to the grassland with us, and when you get to our station, you can live in a room with Jiajia, and declare to the outside world that you are Jiajia's maidservant, of course, only in name, Jiajia is very kind, and she will not ask you to do this or that." Shang Tao thought for a moment and continued: "When you meet the person you like in the future, you can leave with the person you like at any time." ”
"No way!" Konka categorically refused.
"Why not?" Shang Tao looked at Konka suspiciously.
"Oh, Brother Shang Gongzi, secret, secret." Seeing that Shang Tao was still confused, he added: "Your secret! ”
"Oh, that's it." Shang Tao finally understood why Konka had to introduce her to Ye Maoyan before he was willing to take her back to the grassland station, but even if Wang Xiaoying became Ye Maoyan's woman, or became her own woman, would she be able to keep a secret for herself? What kind of logic is this?
"Why don't you wait until you get back?" Shang Tao also had a headache.
"No, if you want to take her back to our station, after entering Stacking City later, you will take her first tonight." Konka said resolutely.
"What are you kidding, Miss Wang, she's only fourteen years old, I'm not a beast, how can I do it." Shang Tao glanced at Wang Xiaoying's thin body and said that he couldn't accept it.
"Brother Shang Gongzi, do you think this is your earth? In our world, we have reached the marriageable age at the age of fourteen, don't compare our world with your earth, first of all, the average life expectancy of your earth is much higher than ours, so if you want to calculate it this way, the marriageable age of our world is actually later than that of the earth. ”
As Konka spoke, she suddenly found that she seemed to have said something wrong, so she glared at her good-looking big eyes, covered her mouth with her hand, and said in shock: "Ah, it's over, I accidentally said that I leaked my mouth, Brother Shang Gongzi, you must take her tonight, otherwise I will have to kill her, you know I will definitely say it." ”
Wang Xiaoying was confused when she heard it, and she didn't understand how to behave well and become the object of her mouth.
Half an hour later, Shang Tao and his party arrived at the pass of Diezhang Pass, and the faces of Shang Tao and Wang Xiaoying turned very dark, which was from Konka's handwriting.
Kang Di stepped forward and quietly stuffed some silver and applied for a temporary passport for Shang Tao and Wang Xiaoying.
Because there is money to pay for, it is just a simple routine inquiry at the review level, and it basically takes no effort.
Datang implements a strict control policy on weapons, knives more than a foot long are not allowed to be carried on the road, and bows and arrows and crossbows are not allowed to be kept privately at home. Therefore, Shang Tao and the others registered their identity information and paid the entry fee, and then deposited weapons such as long knives and bows and arrows before they were allowed to enter the customs.
This pass is steep and abnormal, because it is a natural pass, so the pass that is about one kilometer long, it turns three corners, the pass is steep on both sides of the pass, and there are many fortifications such as hiding caves dug on the cliff wall.
If there are grassland tribes who want to attack the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that when they enter this pass that can only accommodate up to four horses in parallel, they will encounter the crazy attack of the Datang border guards who are ambushed on the cliffs. So even if it is said that this pass should not be opened, it is not an exaggeration.
After the group passed through this pass, they saw that about ten miles ahead, there was a small city, and this city was the city of Stacked Mountains.
"Let's go, nephew Shang Xian, after entering the city, let's go to the Drunken Immortal Building tonight to have a good meal, these days the mouth is about to fade out of the bird." Kang Di said and turned over on his horse.
So everyone turned on their horses one after another, and then marched towards the city not far away.
