Chapter 13: Alluring the country and the city

The two of them walked with their heads bored, and climbed the mountainside in a short time, but saw a woman standing quietly in front of the thatched house, holding a white jade whisk in her hand, wearing an apricot yellow Luo robe, green silk back, not vulgar and non-Taoist, from a distance, it seems that it is not touched by the fireworks of the world. When I got closer, I felt that she was plump and graceful, and she had a fairy wind and bones. Seeing Guan Yi, he bowed slightly, and said softly: "I've seen the general!" ”

After the old woman took Guan Yi to the thatched house, she ignored the two of them and turned around and entered the thatched house. Guan Yi looked up and saw a wooden plaque on the thatched house, on which were written the words "Smoke View", and secretly screamed strange in his heart, could it be that this woman is the master? Seeing that the woman's voice was soft and tactful, fresh and refined, and respectful, and it was not good to lack courtesy, she replied with a fist and said loudly: "Isn't the girl the master of this smoke-watching view?" ”

"I took the liberty of inviting and frightened the general!" The woman seemed to know the doubts in Guan Yi's heart, smiled slightly, glanced at the fire dragon horse following Guan Yi, and said lightly: "The general has this artifact, it can be said that it is a blessing, the little woman congratulates the general!" ”

"Does the viewer know this horse?" Guan Yi seemed to know the origin of the fire dragon foal when he heard the meaning of her words, and he was slightly surprised in his heart.

The woman shook her head and said lightly: "Although the little woman doesn't know horses, she knows a little about this artifact. The general's horse is a bloody horse produced in the Western Regions! ”

"Sweaty BMW?" Guan Yi was taken aback, he never expected that this fire dragon horse would be the legendary Pegasus.

It is no wonder that Guan Yi was surprised, the sweat and blood horse was born in the Western Regions Dawan Kingdom. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, and after returning to China, he said that the Western Regions Dawan Kingdom was rich in sweat and blood, and the lord of the country hid it in the Second Division City and did not let the Han envoys watch. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty then sent an envoy to the Great Wan Kingdom with a thousand gold and a golden horse of the same size as the sweat and blood horse to exchange for the sweat and blood horse. Unexpectedly, the lord of the Dawan Kingdom regarded his country far away from Middle Earth, and there was a vast desert in the middle, thinking that the Han Dynasty would definitely not use troops against him, so he did not exchange it, and bullied the envoys of the Han Dynasty with words.

The Han envoy was helpless and returned to China after smashing the golden horse. Who knew that Wu Widow secretly sent people to intercept and kill the Han envoy and his entourage on the way, and robbed the Han envoy of the gold and silver belongings. When the news reached Chang'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and then named Li Guangli, the brother of Mrs. Li, as the general of the second division, and sent tens of thousands of troops to expedition to Dawan twice, and finally captured the capital of Dawan in the fourth year of Taichu (107 BC), and captured more than 30 high-grade sweat and blood horses, and more than 3,000 sweat and blood horses below the middle level.

However, what puzzled Guan Yi was that it had been nearly three hundred years since Emperor Wu won the sweat and blood horse, and although the sweat and blood horse was incomparable, it had already fused with the bloodlines of the major horse lines in Middle-earth for hundreds of years, and the offspring produced by it had long ceased to have the characteristics of pure sweat and blood horses, tall and powerful, and endurance. In other words, although the countries of the Western Regions occasionally present sweat and blood horses to Middle-earth, they are all raised by the imperial court in the royal inner garden, in addition, the wild sweat and blood horses have long been lost in Middle-earth, why did their fire dragon horse appear in Qingcheng Mountain?

"If the general has any doubts, he might as well check whether the sweat droplets on this horse are red, and he will know." The woman seemed to understand what Guan Yi was thinking, and said lightly: "The reason why this horse is called a sweat horse is because the sweat it emits after running is the color of blood, and the general will know it when he tries it!" ”

Guan Yi Shicai rode the fire dragon horse for more than an hour, knowing that the sweat on the fire dragon horse must not have dried up at this moment, he really reached out and touched the back of the fire dragon horse, and sure enough, he saw a red palm in his hand, like blood. I was amazed in my heart, and I hugged my fists and said to the woman: "The master is knowledgeable, and I am deeply admired!" Don't dare to ask the ...... of the Guan Zhu Immortal? ”

The woman said lightly: "Don't dare to hide it from the general, the little woman has the surname Zhuge again, and her single name is a fruit word." ”

Guan Yi jumped up in shock when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Could it be that the master of the audience is the daughter of Wuhou, a wonderful true immortal?" ”

"The little woman is a person who leads the cultivation, how dare she be the word fairy girl? The general is overrated! ”

When Guan Yi heard her say this, he was already sure that the graceful woman in front of him was Zhuge Guo, the young daughter of Zhuge Wuhou, and he was really shocked in his heart.

Zhuge Wuhou had a son and a daughter before his death, and his son was Zhuge Zhan, the general of the dynasty, and his daughter Zhuge Guo was born in the seventh year of Jianxing (229 AD), two years younger than Zhuge Zhan. Zhuge Guo has been studying divination and fighting since he was a child, and he has already known how to use the terrain to design Qimen formations when he was five years old.

It is rumored that before the last Northern Expedition of Zhuge Wuhou, the essence of the art of war in his life, as well as the skills of divination and Qimen Dunjia, were all given to Zhuge Guo. When Zhuge Guo grew up, he was really brilliant and unremitting, and when he was less than ten years old, he went out of the northwest of Shaocheng to lead the practice of the Zhenguan, and the Tao number was wonderful, and five years ago he was in the Chaozhenguan feathering and ascending.

Guan Yi naturally knows these allusions very well. Therefore, at this time, when I heard the name of Zhuge Guo, how could I not be shocked and inexplicable? Moreover, in terms of age, Zhuge Guo is now thirty-five years old, but looking at her age at this time, it seems that she is not yet twenty-five or sixteen years old, and she is even more surprised in her heart.

"What's the general's puzzled?" Zhuge Guo saw Guan Yi pondering by himself, and although he guessed one or two points in his heart, he didn't say anything.

Guan Yi woke up in shock when he heard this, packed up his mood, and sighed: "People say that the Immortal Gu has already ascended, but I don't want to see ...... here today."

Zhuge Guo smiled faintly and said, "The so-called ascension means death." Heaven and man are one, turning into a great road. Ordinary people, all living beings, how many people have a glimpse of the big mystery? ”

Zhuge Guo was originally born with graceful grace, Guan Yi smiled when he saw her again at this time, and suddenly felt like begonia flowers blooming, peonies blooming, elegant and noble, there is a grace and luxury, bright and beautiful, for a while, I was a little crazy, I couldn't help blurting out: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent, one cares about the city, and then cares about the country, rather I don't know the city and the country, the beauty is hard to get!" ”

Zhuge Guo saw that Guan Yi was just staring at himself, although he was slightly ashamed in his heart, he couldn't tell it, so he had to pretend that he didn't see it. Who knew that Guan Yi suddenly sang these words, his face suddenly turned cold, he snorted coldly, and turned his head into the house.

Guan Yi was stunned, then came to his senses and secretly scolded himself for being confused. The words he sang were an allusion to the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty - Li Yannian, the commander of Yuefu Xielu, sang for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with this word, and Emperor Wu was greatly appreciated after hearing it, and asked how there is such a beauty in the world? Emperor Shiwu's sister Princess Pingyang was on her side, and she replied that Yannian had a female brother. Emperor Wu was overjoyed, that is, he summoned his sister into the palace, and sure enough, she was beautiful and good at dancing, so she was named Mrs. *, and she was favored for a while.

Although Guan Yi Shicai's singing comes from the heart, Zhuge Guo is a cultivator and does not enter the world. That Mrs. Li was born in a family of advocates*, and she was the wife of Emperor Wu, Guan Yi compared Zhuge Guo, and the implication was quite light, no wonder Zhuge Guo was furious.

Note: 1. During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Mrs. was the harem title second only to the queen; 2. Advocates, artists who make a living from music and dance.
