Although Huanglongzhai is less than 50 miles away from Chengdu Prefecture, this road is almost all mountain roads. Twists and turns, twists and turns. It takes at least a day to walk down this journey of less than fifty miles.

In order to rush to Chengdu Mansion the day after tomorrow, the big boss called the villagers up early in the morning and asked everyone to quickly pack up their things and prepare to go. Also going to Chengdu were some young people from the village. Agui and Duo'er are one of them.

After all, for these young people who were born and grew up in the mountains, they can go to Chengdu Mansion to see the outside world, maybe for them, there will not be a few times in their lives. The only few times are also for future generations of children and grandchildren to talk about.

At this time, the morning sun is slightly dewed, and the sky is gradually dawning. The fog in the mountains and forests gradually faded a lot, and the wind blew, and the treetops swayed, startling flocks of early birds. The morning glow of the first dew shines on the leaves of the trees beside the mountain road, and the dew drops are shining.

At night, the frost and fog condensed on the mountain road, and at this time, the sun shone on it, and the frost melted, and the long and curved mountain road was a little slippery.

In Huanglong Village, there is a festive look.

The elders reminded the young people not to forget to bring things, especially gifts for the Governor of the State. Lu Heng, who was on the side, was extremely amused in his heart.

It seems that Zhang Wenshan's old man, what he hates the most is giving gifts.

However, looking at this group of Miao hometowns, they are so eager. Lu Heng finally couldn't help but say nothing.

It's like going to the hospital in the future, if you don't give gifts, you always feel bottomless. Anyway, the doctor was resentful and directly treated you from the minor injury infirmary to the morgue.

On the side, Ah Duo greeted several sisters like a big sister. looked at the little girl, crossed her waist, and commanded a neat look. It's very much like the director of the women's association in later generations. Lu Heng stood there, groping his chin, laughing and admiring.

"Look at what! Look at it again, gouge out your eyeballs! Ah Duo, who was directing everyone to carry their luggage, seemed to feel that someone was watching her. Turning his head directly, he glared at Lu Heng fiercely, like a mad little cat.

Seeing the smile on Lu Heng's face, he hurriedly put it away, turned his head and pretended not to hear anything. Ah Duo giggled triumphantly, and raised his chin at Lu Heng defiantly. Then he turned around and continued to direct the little sisters to work.

And Ah Gui is abnormal, very different from the previous submissive appearance. He began to try to talk to the other youths in the village, laughing and helping them to wind their bows and arrows.

Lu Heng, who was standing aside and talking to the owner of the village, turned his head, inadvertently saw this scene, and smiled faintly.

He finally took the first step!

After the team was integrated, everyone took advantage of the bright sky to bid farewell to their parents at home, drove horses, stepped on the slippery mountain road, and walked out of the village.

Along the way, there were many statues of Qingcheng Road. And every time they passed by a statue, many men and women in the procession took some food out of their pockets, respectfully placed it in front of the statue, and then kowtowed and prayed. After seeing this scene, Lu Heng's brows couldn't help frowning.

You must know that the Miao family has its own beliefs. But now, these men and women are beginning to believe in this unclear Qingcheng Dao. On the one hand, because real life is too hard and difficult, they hope to find a spiritual sustenance. But on the other hand, this Qingcheng Road, in the Yizhou generation, has become a climate.

However, what surprised Lu Heng slightly was that Ah Duo did not kneel down like the other sisters, but squatted aside, muttering something to his brother.

Seeing Lu Heng looking over here, Ah Duo glanced at Lu Heng sneakily, and then turned around and whispered something to Ah Gui, as if he was afraid that Lu Heng would hear it.

On the side, the cloth leader saw the men and women in the village, where they kowtowed and prayed. Glancing at an elder beside him, both of them looked worried and helpless.

After the break, the team set off again.

Chengdu has been known as the land of abundance since ancient times, with a suitable climate and outstanding people. The unique Sichuan and Shu culture has given birth to beautiful natural scenery and humanistic legends. Coupled with the strategic importance of the Great Zhou's containment of Tibet, the imperial court attached great importance to Chengdu. Several appropriations have been allocated to build city defenses, and the city wall of Chengdu today is as solid as gold.

At the end of the day, the team finally arrived outside Chengdu. At this time, the sky is full of sunset. The sunset is gilded, and the entire land of Chengdu is dyed with a fiery red glow.

Looking at the majestic city tower in the sunset, there are also pedestrians coming in and out of the city gate. A constant stream of cars and horses. The men and women of Huanglongzhai suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Be quiet, you guys are so noisy, what do you think!" The cloth leader glared back at the young men, turned his head, and looked at the city gate tower with the same excitement on his face.

The last time Buyi went to Chengdu Mansion was when he was a child, and his father brought him here. Decades have passed, and Buyi finally arrived in Chengdu Mansion again, looking at the city tower that only appeared a few times in a dream, Buyi's excited old face turned red.

On the side, Lu Heng saw Bu Yi's expression, remembered the serious lesson he had just given to the men and women in the village, and felt funny in his heart, and shook his head with a smile.

While the city gate was not closed, the cloth leader hurriedly led the villagers into the city.

When he was about to walk to the city gate, on the official road behind him, a horse team composed of more than a dozen horses, trampling on the ground, rushed towards the city gate with a bang. "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" At the head of the group is a samurai dressed like a family servant, carrying a waist sword. Holding a leather whip in his hand, he kept whipping pedestrians who couldn't dodge. While waving the whip, he shouted viciously.

When these people appeared, Elder Buyi immediately reminded the children to quickly get out of the way. lest there be trouble. The men hurriedly escorted the girls and retreated to the side of the road, their swords in their hands, and they looked at the tall warriors with wary expressions. There was fear or anger in his eyes.

See these bullies on horseback, after leaving. These people in Huanglongzhai all breathed a sigh of relief. Except for the cloth leader, everyone else came here for the first time, and they were not familiar with the place, so they were naturally afraid of causing something.

However, Lu Heng, who was standing in the crowd, frowned slightly.

He just saw very clearly that in the horse team, a oily and powdery boy's eyes lit up when he saw Ah Duo in the crowd.

Seeing that the horse team seemed to slow down suddenly, Lu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought for a moment. With a move in his heart, he waved his hand, called a young man from the Miao family who was traveling with him, slowly took out the jade pendant in his arms, handed it to him, and seriously instructed him to hurry to the Zhizhou Mansion and hand over the jade pendant to Lord Zhizhou.

Along the way, I saw that the owner of the village and the elders were very courteous to this scholar, so the young men in the team also knew that this Han man seemed to have an unusual identity.

At this time, seeing Lu Heng's solemn expression, this young man didn't think about it, and hurriedly agreed. After taking the jade pendant, he secretly glanced around, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he hurriedly changed into civilian clothes. Sneaked into the crowd and walked away.

Just when the horse team rushed into the city gates, everyone thought it was okay. Suddenly, there was a sound like a duck crowing from the team. "Stop, stop! Get back! After this sound came from the city gate, the faces of the pedestrians who stood on the side of the street to take shelter changed greatly. Hurriedly lowered his head and quickly hid away from this place.

And Elder Buyi's face also changed slightly, and he hurriedly beckoned everyone to leave in a hurry.

But just as this group of Miao family children was about to leave, the group of horses that rushed into the city suddenly went and returned.

They waved the braids in their hands, drove the war horses, and rushed over with a bang, instantly surrounding the dozen or so Miao people.

"What do you want to do?" Elder Buyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face turned pale as he looked at the group of leprosy skins who were groping their chins and smiling, and asked in a deep voice.

The horses twitched, and then, as they shook their reins, they all made a way. A boy dressed in brocade drove his horse forward. His complexion was a little sickly white, and at first glance it was a symptom of kidney deficiency. After searching around in this group of Miao people wearing national costumes, this boy's eyes lit up when he saw Ah Duo behind Ah Gui. Stretched out his hand, with the whip in his hand, pointed at Ah Duo and said, "Leave her behind!" ”

"What do you want to do?" Ah Gui blocked his sister behind him, pulled out a firewood knife, pointed at this boy, and asked tremblingly.

"Haha, what are you doing?" Brother Gongzi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing. He pointed to Ah Gui, who was very inward-looking, turned his head, leaned back and smiled at the family next to him, and said while laughing: "Hey, what did he ask me for?" Haha, he actually asked me what I was going to do? ”

After laughing wildly for a while, Brother Gongzi raised his foot and kicked the happiest family next to him who was smiling: "You go and tell him, what is this son going to do?" ”

This Ding smiled flatteringly at this son-in-law, then turned his head and shouted in a fierce voice: "Our son-in-law has taken a fancy to this chick, so get acquainted and leave people behind!" Don't our son off! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the cloth leader and the others changed in unison, while the other Miao family guys stared at these horseback riders with angry eyes. A few of them, who couldn't bear it anymore, pulled out their hatchets.

"Drink, dare to play tricks!" Brother Gongzi saw that among these Miao people, some of them actually pulled out their knives. Immediately laughed disdainfully.

He struck the horse in the belly with his legs, taking a step back. Staring at these Miao people, he sneered, and said in a deep voice to the family behind him: "Catch that chick back for me, something happened, and my son will hold it." Above! ”

"Who dare!" The young men of the Miao family pulled out their knives and stared angrily at these villains on horseback.

"Up!" Brother Gongzi waved his hand and directly asked his subordinates to rob people.

The family members drew their knives with a sigh and approached the Miao people. And the young men of the Miao family in Huanglongzhai will not retreat. Instead, they took a step forward.

On the streets, there was a sudden sword and sword shadow, and the sword was tense.
