Chapter 378 Xiangyang City

When I said, if I didn't come to the Mausoleum of the Young Emperor in a daze, so that I crossed to the Southern Song Dynasty, I don't know how I would spend it, without Le Lingshan's son, I think I wouldn't be able to survive, after crossing, not in the same space, and feel that the emperor's life is quite novel and exciting, so it survived, and now, Ling'er has become like this, if I lose Fang Ling, I can even imagine, maybe I will die of depression,

I smiled: "Dao Master, I know you have good intentions, but I have already decided. ”

Fang Chen saw that I did not hesitate to take risks for Fang Ling's sake, and he was also greatly moved: "Huyan Gongzi, Mr. Yuan, if you don't object, the old man will also go with you, Ling'er is the only daughter of the old man, and the old man should do his part." ”

"Okay, no questions."

My tone seemed very calm, but it made Dao Fa feel that his fate could not be violated, so he had to say: "Okay, since the son has made a decision, then Lao Dao will also sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman." ”

"Well, thank you Dao Master for your help, I think, with the escort of your three masters, even if you have to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties along the road, you can break through, sir, where is the Valley of the Kings."

"Why is it ninety-nine-eighty-one?" Dao Fa, Fang Chenyi and others thought in unison,

Yuan Jian said: "Son, the Valley of the Emperors is located in the central county of Fangzhou Prefecture of Yanyan Road (now Yan'an, Shaanxi), which has become the territory of the Mongols since the Mongols destroyed the gold more than 30 years ago, and in June last year, the Mongols assigned the central county to the jurisdiction of the Juzhou Prefecture (now Huangling County). ”

"Sir, isn't the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum there?"

"Yes, Childe, the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is in Qiaoshan in Central County, the main peak of Qiaoshan is about 100 steps to the south, there is an ancient ruin, from this site to the north, there is a hidden path leading to Xiaolu Mountain, and the Valley of the Kings is in Xiaolu Mountain."

Master Daofa was surprised: "It turned out to be from the ruins to the north, I once went to Qiaoshan in Central County thirty years ago, and also went to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, and I also wandered around the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum for a whole day, but I didn't find such a road, you can go to the Valley of the Kings, by the way, it was at that time, I met the Mongolian divine doctor Jiya in front of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. ”

Yuan Jian smiled and said, "Did the Najiya Divine Doctor also go to worship the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum?" ”

"It should be, this matter is also a coincidence, that time coincided with the fierce war between Mongolia and Jin." Daofa recalled, "At that time, poor Dao happened to meet a filial son surnamed Jiang in a nearby hot spring village in front of the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, carrying his mother to worship the Yellow Emperor, his mother had suffered from leg disease for many years, unable to move, and sought medical treatment everywhere could not be treated, that day, it happened to rain heavily, the wet road was slippery, Jiang surnamed Xiaozi unfortunately fell, poor Dao saw this, and Jiya Divine Doctor together to help them up, later, Jiya Divine Doctor saw that his mother was sick, so he gave a helping hand, under a medical treatment, the mother actually felt that her legs were conscious, Poor Dao was also on the side, and he heard Xiaozi say that his mother had lost sensation in her legs for ten years. ”

Next, Poor Dao and Ji Ya Divine Doctor together sent the mother and son back to the hot spring village, Ji Ya Divine Doctor checked the patient again, and left a prescription, said, only need to take medicine for 21 consecutive days, ten years of disease, can be cured, at that time Poor Dao and Ji Ya chatted, he said that he is also very admired by the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Han people, so every once in a while will go to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum to pay respects, since then, Poor Dao will remember the name of Ji Ya, as I travel longer in the north, I also know the name of the Mongolian Ji Ya Divine Doctor, In the hearts of the Mongols and many northern Han and Jin people, Ji Ya is the kindest and most skilled doctor in the world. ”

Yuan Jian sighed: "There are also good people and righteous people among the Mongols. ”

"Yes." I nodded and said, "Dao Master, you go back and get ready, and we'll leave in an hour." ”

"Has Childe set a course?"

"Master, let's go to Xiangfan first, and we'll discuss it along the way."

"Yes, Childe."

From Xiangfan to the north through Wudang Mountain is the nearest road from Longhu Mountain to the central county, of course, there is another important reason, that is, the Xiangfan Military Region is the only military region in the major military regions in the "trade" with the Mongols, the only place on the Song-Mongolian border is located outside Xiangyang City, in the eyes of Kublai Khan, Lu Wende is the most greedy envoy among the border generals, maybe I can take advantage of this,

Master Daofa needed to talk to Zhang Tianshi, so he said goodbye, and after leaving, Fang Chen said: "Young Master Huyan, the old man will be with him for a while, and the old man needs to explain some trivial things to Suo Wuji." ”

"Yes, go ahead."

After Fang Chenyi and Suo Wuji left, I instructed: "Shen Mo, you immediately return to Lin'an, inform the Queen Mother, Jia Rudao and the deans of the Military and Political Yuan, saying that I have important matters to deal with temporarily, and I will return to Lin'an in more than a month, and let them do the affairs of the court in accordance with the established policy, just like when I went to Dali, the Queen Mother will supervise the dynasty and coordinate the overall situation, Xie Daolin will serve as the governor of Lin'an, and Lan Yu will be responsible for guarding the palace, in addition, you tell Xie Daolin and ask him to inform the Lin family's martial arts female instructor in the Royal Forest Army, Lin Ying, to also rush to Xiangyang immediately, so as to take care of Ling'er. ”

"Yes, Childe, my subordinates obey."

"Okay, Shen Mo, after you inform the Queen Mother, you and Lin Ying will go directly to the Xiangfan Military Region, where we will meet."

Before I went to Dali, the Affiliated Hospital of the Imperial Forest Army was officially established, and Lin Ying was responsible for the protection of the hospital and the simple physical training of female nurses in the field.

It didn't take long for Fang Chenyi to come back alone and say, "Young Master Huyan, the old man asked Suo Wuji to go back first and temporarily handle the affairs of the alliance on my behalf." ”

"Well, Quanyi, do you need to find a car to facilitate Ling'er's travel."

Fang Chen said: "Young Master Huyan, it is nearly two thousand miles from Longhu Mountain to Xiangfan, if you use a car, it will take too long, the old man proposed, let the old man take Ling'er." ”

I was worried: "Can Ling'er's body stand it?" ”

Zhang Quanyi: "Son, Ling'er's body is fine, you can try, if it doesn't work, it's not too late to find a car." ”

Yuan Jian also said: "Yes, Childe, you can try." ”

Fang Chenyi is Fang Ling's father, and he is also a martial arts master, so naturally he won't talk about it casually, I thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, since everyone agrees, let's try it." ”

After meeting with the Taoist master, we stepped on the royal horse, whipped the horse, and galloped straight towards Xiangyang.

Fang Chenyi's riding skills are exquisite, holding Fang Ling in one hand and riding the horse in the other, he still seems to be at ease, and his speed is not slow at all, when we left the Longhu Mountain, I grabbed the reins and asked, "Mr. Fang, how is it." ”

"Huyan Gongzi rest assured, everything is normal with Ling'er, the old man's right hand will detect Ling'er's situation at any time, and once he finds a problem, he will stop immediately."

"Alright, let's go."

Through Poyang Lake, through Ezhou, across the Yangtze River, after leaving Longhu Mountain on the seventh day, we entered the boundary of Yicheng County (now Yicheng City, Hubei), these few nights, as long as I am free, I will take turns with Fang Chenyi to talk to the unconscious Fang Ling, I keep telling the bits and pieces with Fang Ling, and at the same time sing all the songs I will sing to Fang Ling, although I know that Fang Ling can't hear at all, Fang Chenyi and Zhang Quanyi and others think that this method has no effect, but I have been insisting, and I also ask Fang Chenyi to insist, I believe that the science of the future generations must be well-founded,

There is only a distance of more than 100 miles from Yicheng County to Xiangyang, and that night, I asked Yuan Jian to inform the guards who were secretly accompanying him to replace all the royal horses we were riding, so as not to attract attention, the closer to Xiangyang, the more likely it is to encounter the Mongolian fine work, I naturally dare not take it lightly,

At noon the next day, the quaint and magnificent Xiangyang City appeared in front of our eyes.

Xiangyang City is surrounded by water on three sides, one side is backed by the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is valued by the soldiers of the past dynasties, Xiangyang City is Xiongxiong according to the upper reaches of the Han River, Chu is the North Jinxu, it has a history of more than 2,000 years from the Southern Song Dynasty, the city was built in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the circumference is seven kilometers, the widest part of the moat reaches 250 meters, it can be called the first city in China, it has the reputation of "Xiangyang of Iron" since ancient times,

Since Yue Fei recaptured Xiangyang City in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, for more than 100 years, it has been constantly strengthened and renovated, and after many years of operation by Marshal Meng Gong, today's Xiangyang City has become the first insurmountable fortified city in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In my memory, the most famous deeds of Xiangyang City are the feats of Guo Jing and his wife who defended Xiangyang and the plot in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms described in Mr. Jin Yong's novel.

Coming to the pavilion one mile in front of the city gate, Yuan Jian said: "Childe, there is a mountain peak in the southeast of Xiangyang City, called Lumen Mountain, where the first phase of the Rongchang discussed between Lord Lu and the Mongols is located. ”

I subconsciously looked in the southeast direction and said, "Perhaps, it will become the main battlefield of the future battle of Xiangyang." ”

Wen Zhang said: "Childe, shall we go directly into the city." ”

"Well, go into the city and find an inn near Marshal Lu Wende's mansion to stay first."

Although Xiangyang City is a military powerhouse, but the prosperity is far less than Lin'an, near Lu Wende's Marshal Mansion, we stayed in an inn called Longzhong, after settling Fang Ling, I said to Wen Zhang: "Wen Zhang, you go to Lu Wende, let the two brothers come here to see me secretly, and by the way, let him bring the map around Xiangyang." ”

"Yes, Childe, my subordinates will go immediately."

I said "En" and said, "Everyone, you all go back to the house and rest first." ”

Looking at Fang Ling, who was lying unconscious on the bed, I inevitably felt lonely in my heart.

Fang Ling knew very well the depth of my martial arts, and knew that I was not his father's opponent at all, although Fang Ling didn't know what was going on in the Xiaoyao Pavilion, but just thought that I had a conflict with his father, and was worried about my safety, so he rushed in desperately, trying to protect me, but he didn't expect that I was fine, but she encountered misfortune,
