Since that day, Ling Xue has taken her father to the island every day to play. One is that she really wants to go, and the other is that she wants to take Song Qi out for a walk. Song Qi also wanted to meet Ming Zhuyu, who looked like Xia Fei.

Father Ling couldn't grind her, so he agreed, although there were still seven days before the Dragon Boat Festival.

This morning, the wind was light and the weather was refreshing. They stepped out of the courtyard and prepared to leave for Dream Island.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came to my ears, and in an instant I saw three people and three horsemen come out of the mountain, galloping towards this side, and in the blink of an eye they were approaching. The three of them threw off their horses, and one person in front of them, wearing brocade clothes, covered with azure cloaks, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, strange appearance, and majestic figure. He threw the reins of his horse backwards to his retinue, and then strode up with a meteor, and the voice of the man came: "Brother Helai, long time no see!" You're getting more and more immortal! ”

"Ah, who should I be, it turned out to be General Kim! Higg Hick! When Father Ling saw this person, he hurriedly greeted him, hugged his fists and smiled, "It's rude and rude before you can greet him!" ”

Ling Xue winked at Song Qi and sighed in a low voice, saying that she couldn't go, she had to change the day. Song Qi nodded, he didn't really care.

When General Jin saw that the three of them were carrying their luggage and seemed to be about to go out, he shrugged his shoulders and said with a dry smile: "It seems that I came at the wrong time!" Brother Helai, where are you going? ”

Father Ling hurriedly threw his luggage to Ling Xue, and turned back to the courtyard with General Jin's hand, while laughing and said, "It's better to come early than to come by chance!" Originally, I took Ling Xue and them to the island for two days. ”

General Jin laughed, and when he passed by Ling Xue's side, he reached out and patted her on the head, and said with a smile: "Xue'er has grown up again, and she is becoming more and more peugeot!" ”

Song Qi looked at the two of them entering the inner hall hand in hand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This isolated seaside mountain village is really not simple!" Usually sparsely populated and inaccessible, but if you don't come, you have it, and if you come, you are all very identious. Ming Zhugong, who came half a month ago, according to Ling Xue, is the richest man today. General Jin who came today, judging by his appearance, dress and conversation, is by no means an idle person. The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and the dragon is spiritual, this sentence is too right. It seems that Daddy Ling is by no means an ordinary mountain villager! ”

Father Ling and General Jin stepped into the inner hall hand in hand, and they had a good conversation inside. The two entourages were busy unloading the prey they had brought along the way from the horses, dissecting and cleaning them, and preparing for the barbecue, while Ling Xue and Song Qi helped chop firewood and build a shelf. The four of them worked hard for an hour, and finally got ready. There was a fire in the yard, the flames were blazing, there was a wooden shelf on the fire, and a whole deer was barbecued on the shelf, which was barbecued to make a sneering sound, and the aroma was overflowing, filling the whole yard, hooking people's stomach, and taking people's hearts.

The aroma of roast deer wafted into the house, seducing General Jin and Father Ling, who were talking in the inner hall. General Kim praised \"It's so fragrant!" \", he snatched the knife from the hand of the entourage, personally cut the meat, handed a piece to each person, and came a piece himself, put it in his mouth and bite, and praised while biting.

After a few pieces of meat and a few glasses of wine, General Jin squinted at Father Ling and asked, "Brother Helai, do you remember when we sneaked into Xiangguo's Mansion to assassinate Fei Chong's old thief?" ”

"How can you forget? I only hate that I didn't kill the old thief back then, and I didn't avenge the general's family! Father Ling bit a piece of meat, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile to General Jin.

"Although I couldn't assassinate the old thief, the fire at that time also caused the old thief to suffer heavy losses!" General Kim's eyes were blazing, staring at the fire, and he had a big smile on his face.

"Yes, if it wasn't for the fire set by the general, it would be difficult for us to escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion." Father Ling put down his wine glass, reminisced happily, and clapped his hands and smiled, "Thinking of the old thief's appearance of being burned by the fire, it still makes people laugh." ”

The two of them were eating meat, drinking wine in a big bowl, talking and laughing. Father Ling cut off a large piece of meat, handed it to General Jin, and reached out to pat his leg, and said with a smile: "Now the general is the chief soldier of Anhaiguan, and he has more than 10,000 soldiers under his command. ”

"Although I have earned the false title of a general soldier for my merits in a hundred battles, I have no more than a thousand soldiers under my command, and I will be less than ten." General Jin picked up the wine glass, drank it all, looked up to the sky and sighed: "There are only thousands of men and horses, how to raise troops, how to defend them?" It seems that I have been in vain for the past seventeen years, and my family's blood and revenge still have no way to revenge! ”

"Why? Aren't all the soldiers under the command of tens of thousands of soldiers? Father Ling felt incredible, so he asked in surprise.

"Alas, the other generals have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but I have less than a thousand. The emperor said: Anhaiguan relies on the mountains and the sea, the terrain is dangerous, one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, and a thousand people and horses are comparable to 10,000. It seems that this emperor still has a grudge against me! General Jin's tone was full of indignation, and after speaking, he put the cup to the side and slammed it, and the wine in the cup splashed everywhere.

"I see!" Father Ling was surprised, "Is it because you are a patriot?" ”

"yes!" General Jin stared at the raging flames with his eyes and said with a solemn expression, "My father once commanded the patriotic army and defeated the Chen State, and the emperor still remembers this matter. ”

"These things are in the past, and they were each his own master, and it had to be so." Ling Helai sighed. "How can I be angry with you......"

General Jin's cup was stunned, and Ling Xue and Song Qi jumped up, and they quickly tore off a piece of meat, quietly left the fire, and slipped outside to Longwei Mountain.

Before going up the mountain, there was the roar of the waves hitting the shore in my ears, and after reaching the top, what appeared in front of me was the endless vast sea, only to see the waves surging, the waves rolling, crashing, layer after layer, advancing layer by layer, rushing straight to the shore, lapping the shore, making an earth-shattering roar, and the waves that hit up reached the low-hanging white clouds, almost splashing on Song Qi's body.

Song Qi shook his head and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The two of them found a clean stone and sat down, overlooking the waves on the sea. After sitting silently for a long time, neither of them spoke, but Ling Xue opened her mouth and said softly: "That General Jin, his name is Jin Zhenglei, his father turned out to be the general of the country, called Jin Guoan, and my father was his father's personal soldier twenty years ago. ”

"Oh, I see." Song Qi nodded.

Ling Xue sighed and said in a gloomy tone: "Seventeen years ago, Jin Guoan was framed by the Minister of Defense, and was beheaded all over the house. ”

"Raiding all over the house?" Song Qi was taken aback when he heard this.

"Yes, only Kim Jong-lei escaped alone." Ling Xue said with a solemn expression, "Later, my father and Kim Zhenglei went to Xiangguo's Mansion to assassinate Fei Chong, but they didn't succeed, so they embarked on the road of escape......

General Kim Jong-lei stayed at Ling's house for two nights, and ignored Song Qi, and only toasted Song Qiyao with a glass of wine at the dinner table several times, but did not speak or talk, and only when it was time to leave did he suddenly notice Song Qi's existence.

"When did you have one more person in the house?" Before Jin Zhenglei was about to step on the yellow horse, he glanced at Song Qi and asked Father Ling.

"Oops, I forgot to introduce, this is Song Qi, Liang Guoren!" Father Ling hurriedly smiled and pulled Song Qi to introduce Jin Zhenglei.

Jin Zhenglei had a smile in his eyes, his eyes swept over Song Qi, and then he flickered on Ling Xue, still returned to Ling's father, nodded and smiled: "Okay!" This will also take care of one more person! Then he pulled the saddle and got on the horse, turned back to Father Ling, and said, "Brother Helai, I am waiting for you at Anhaiguan, you come over as soon as possible!" When he had finished speaking, he whipped his horse, and the horse neighed, and ran away, and two of his attendants followed him, and the three horses flew away, rolling up smoke and dust all the way, and soon disappeared at the bend of the mountain, and only the sound of the horse's hooves was still heard.

Two days later, Father Ling led his horse, carried his bags and sword, and prepared to set off. Before leaving, he held Song Qi's hand with both hands and asked, "Brother Song, I have something important to go to An's Customs, maybe a month or two, Xue'er will ask you to take care of it." ”

"Father Ling, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your trust." Song Qi shook Daddy Ling's hand back with both hands and agreed.

Father Ling explained a few words to his daughter, asking her to study hard and practice martial arts diligently. Ling Xue smiled and said, "Dad, you can go with confidence." I will. I'm not a child! ”

Song Qi and Ling Xue sent their father to the foot of Huanglongling until they turned into a long and narrow valley, and his back disappeared between the mountains, forests and trees, only the sound of horses' hooves was still heard.

"Alas, it's been almost a month since I crossed over here, and my father, who lost his son for a month, what about now? What about mothers? Song Qi looked at his father's back gradually moving away, Song Qi vaguely seemed to see his father's back, from childhood to adulthood, his father sent him to school, and after arriving at the school gate, when he looked back, he could see his father's back step by step.

"When I used to read books, I often saw a story of a mother who lost her son, hoped for her son's return, longed for it, and finally lost her sight. Alas...... "Thinking of this, Song Qi's eyes moistened......

Ling Xue saw that Song Qi was a little sad, thinking that he was homesick again, so she raised her hand to the top of the mountain and suggested, "Brother Song, why don't we climb the Yellow Dragon Peak together." ”

"Good!" Song Qi nodded and said.

A thousand years ago, mountain climbing was not as good as modern mountaineering, when there were no steps, not even a road, and you could only climb up the slope of the ridge, which was really called climbing. Song Qi and the others climbed and stopped, and rested four or five times in the middle before they reached the top of the mountain. He was exhausted, panting, pale, his legs and feet were shaking, and he was almost in shock. However, the excitement of finally reaching the summit seemed to make Song Qi forget his tiredness, and he looked into the distance, obliviously admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"This Huanglongling is the boundary between Wei Guo and Chen Guo, Chen Guo to the north, and Wei Guo to the south." Ling Xue climbed the mountain quite easily, the atmosphere was not panting, and the sweat did not shed a few drops, and when he went up the mountain, he pointed to the southeast and northwest to introduce Song Qi.

Song Qi followed Ling Xue's direction and looked, only to see that the east, south, and northeast sides of the mountain were blue and turbulent seas, and the west and north were rolling mountains, mountains and mountains, ridges and ridges, undulating, like galloping horses, dangerous peaks and towers, strange rocks, strange shapes, competing for strangeness, attracting people's eyes, and hiding people's reverie.

"That's the Ann Customs." Ling Xue pointed to a small city forty or fifty miles to the north.

"That's where your dad went?" Song Qi looked at the looming city tower in the distance and asked.

"Yes." Ling Xue nodded and said.

"Kim Zhenglei came to invite him so ceremoniously and in person, and Father Ling rushed there in such a hurry, what the hell is he going to do?" Song Qi thought to himself.

The two went around the top of the hill. Ling Xue pointed to the small island with green leaves floating on the sea in the southeast and said, "That island is Dream Island, and Sister Mingyu and they live on that island." ”

"Oh!" Song Qi listened, overlooking the island, looming, like a dream, and there seemed to be Ming Zhugong who was a fairy wind and a bone in front of him and Ming Zhuyu who looked like Xia Fei, especially her eyes that were as bright as the moon.

After these days of calm thinking, Song Qi has concluded that this Ming Zhuyu is the daughter of Ming Zhugong, not his girlfriend Xia Fei, and they are just similar in appearance. But this coincidence still makes him often distracted, so as not to be distracted.

Then, the two climbed on top of a boulder and sat down, facing the sea, looking up to the sky, the sea breeze with a salty smell blowing on their faces, not slow, not slow, very comfortable! The sea is so vast, don't think that if you stand on a high mountain, you can see the end of the sea, and the end of the sea is always the sky.

"It's so beautiful, the scenery is unique here!" Song Qi couldn't help but look up to the sky and shouted.
