"Why?" Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing, straightened his chest, and looked forward to himself: "Although my family's wealth is a little worse, but now I am a disciple of Confucianism, and it is not impossible to get into the picture in the future, besides, I also look like a talent, it should be more than enough for that girl, right?" Why do you look down on me so much, is it jealousy? ”

Mao Yan was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, she shook her head, threw down a sentence of "idiot", urged the horse to go, walked a few steps, and turned around and said: "Don't forget to give me the book earlier." ”

"I'll do it, don't worry." Liu Xiu responded a little frustratedly, but he was also relieved, no matter what, he finally relieved this Liangzi. Although he is not afraid of the Mao family, it is always a good thing to have fewer enemies. However, Mao's reaction made him curious, what was the origin of that girl? actually made Mao Yan conclude that she had no chance. Although the gap between the rich and the poor is relatively large, there is no natural gap between the rich and the poor, and people from poor backgrounds may not necessarily have no future, not to mention how much talent they are now?

Could it be that their family is a royal family? That's not good, it's not easy to get married with the same surname, but looking at the Mao family, there can't be any relatives of the royal family.

Liu Xiu couldn't figure it out, and in the end he could only think that Mao Yan was holding a grudge and deliberately hitting herself, and once again slandered a sage's last words in her heart, comforting herself with the famous saying "Good men don't fight with women", and followed Lu Min to continue his journey.

Soon after entering Shanggu County from Zhuojun to the north, it entered the Jundu Mountain area. Jundu Mountain is a part of Yanshan, the east-west Yanshan Mountain Range and the north-south Taihang Mountain Range junction, it is also one of the main passages from Zhuo County and Guangyang to Shanggu County, the mountain is high and the valley is deep, the terrain is dangerous, it is one of the famous Taihang Eight Mountains, where the military capital is located, and the famous Juyong Pass in later generations is in the military capital.

Liu Xiu had long known the name of Juyongguan, and had heard about the important surnames here from Yan Rou and Su Shuang, which were naturally listed as the focus in that "Donghu Zhi". Although Lu Min was quite angry, he still knew the name of the military capital and Juyongguan, and now he saw such a dangerous terrain with his own eyes, of course, he refused to let it go easily, and got out of the car and took those young people to inspect all the way, marveling at the beautiful prosperity on the mountain, but also shocked by the steep terrain.

Those boys who usually thought they were heroes and invincible held their breath at this time, craned their necks to look at the towering cliffs on both sides, opened their mouths, and sighed. Lu Min stopped the car and decided to climb to the mountain to take a look, Liu Xiu was startled, and said in his heart, You are too tired to take the car, and you still climb the mountain? In case your feet are weak and you fall from above, it will be a big trouble, you haven't married a wife and had children, Teacher Lu still expects you to pass on the ancestry, if you confess here, Teacher Lu still doesn't hate me to death?

Lu Min didn't listen, insisted on taking a look at it, and said that the master climbed Dongshan and Xiaolu, climbed Mount Tai and the world, I am from Youzhou, and now I am at the foot of the military capital, how can I pass without climbing? Besides, if you don't climb to the top of the mountain, how can you get a glimpse of the dangers of this military capital?

Liu Xiu was speechless, and said in his heart, do you think that mountaineering is by plane, and you can have an unobstructed view of the entire terrain?

Lu Min didn't care what Liu Xiu thought, arranged for someone to guard the carriage and horses, and walked forward, Liu Xiu had no choice but to follow closely, persuading as he went. Mao Yan rushed up from behind, glanced at Liu Xiu, and echoed: "Mr. is also reasonable, since this is to investigate, the terrain is of course the most important one, and it is worth delaying some time." Fortunately, we are not in a hurry, so it is okay to crawl slowly. ”

Lu Min has been under a lot of psychological pressure these days, he has not rested well, the mountain is steep, he has climbed dozens of steps in his breath, he is already a little out of breath, and he refuses to slow down to show weakness, after listening to Mao Yan's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to Liu Xiu: "Miss Mao is right, let's climb slowly, take a walk and rest, it is also considered labor, what's wrong?" Don't you often persuade me to combine work and rest, and now that I have the opportunity, why do you push back? ”

Liu Xiu pursed his lips, it was not easy to persuade again, so he had to follow behind. Mao Yan grabbed in front of him, and walked up with Lu Min one after another, although she was a woman, but she often practiced martial arts, and her physical strength was better than Lu Min's, but she didn't go all out, walked dozens of steps, and said that she was tired and wanted to stand there and rest. Since she said so, even if everyone is not so tired, they can't say anything, so they can only rest together, and others can do it, but Lu Min has suffered a lot of benefits, and has rested countless times along the way, and it took nearly two hours to finally climb to a relatively high mountaintop.

Standing on the top of the mountain, blowing the cool north wind, the sweat on the body quickly volatilized, the whole body was cold, the eyes suddenly opened up, the eyes swept over the layers of mountain peaks, and saw the vast Jixian plain in the distance, the streams were as docile as virgins, like silver ribbons under the bright sunshine, meandering forward along the valleys, and when they flowed out of the valley, they would become wet residual water, moistening the vast land. Yanshan Mountain and Taihang Mountain are like open arms, holding that vibrant plain in their arms.

Turning to look west, they could only see the blue sky, white clouds and dogs, and occasionally a corner of the earth between the mountains, and not a single village could be seen as far as the eye could see.

"To the west is Shanggu County, and then to the west, it is Ningcheng, which is the guard of Wuhuan, and after Ningcheng, out of Yanshan, it is the grassland where the Hu people gallop, and the royal court of Tanshi Huai is not far from Danhan Mountain." Lu Min said slowly: "Less than two hundred miles away from my Han realm, this Xianbei person is too bullying and too prosperous, it is tolerable, which is unbearable." ”

"If you can't bear it, you have to endure it." Liu He crossed his waist, breathed the mountain wind, his face was a little gloomy, and after a while, he added: "With Yanshan and Taihang guards, as long as we don't provoke the Hu crowd to attack them, and the Wuhuan people don't take the opportunity to fall into the well, we still have the ability to protect ourselves." He raised his hand and drew a circle in a vain manner: "Once the Wuhuan people are also involved, this upper valley will not be mine." ”

Lu Min turned his head to look at him, showing some reluctant smiles, noncommittal. He stood quietly for a moment, and suddenly said, "Deran, do you know what Zhuolu is?" ”

Liu Xiu knew that Zhuolu was not far from Shanxi, the military capital, and legend has it that the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor beheaded the Chi, which laid the foundation of the Yanhuang culture. In the Confucian classics, Chi You is one of the four evils, the embodiment of sin, with eighty-one copper-headed, iron-fronted, invulnerable brothers, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor were embarrassed, but the Yellow Emperor of benevolence and virtue finally defeated this almost invincible villain, established the great Yanhuang Alliance, and then gave birth to countless children and grandchildren, and finally had three thousand royal daughters, and ascended to heaven across the dragon.

This story has been greatly rendered in later generations, and some people have even verified that Chiyou's eighty-one copper-headed and iron-fronted brothers are robots like terminators, and the drought girl invited by the Yellow Emperor to help in the war is a nuclear weapon, they are all aliens, anyway, no one really believes it.

"I know a little bit about it." Liu Xiu said modestly.

"This is where the Yellow Emperor is located." Lu Min stroked his forehead and laughed: "It is said that after the defeat of the Jiuli tribe, they went east from here, and then went all the way south. He turned his head, looked at the young people who listened with relish, and said disapprerovingly: "Those who are not good will be punished by heaven, even if there is a Chiyou flag that rushes straight to the sky, what can it do?" The solidity of mountains and rivers is not dangerous in virtue, and the ancients did not deceive me. ”

Liu Xiu blinked his eyes and didn't say anything, he didn't know if Lu Min was sincere when he said this, or if he was perfunctory to Liu and them, anyway, he didn't believe much in the invincible stories of these benevolent people. He was thinking about how to deal with Lu Min's words, when his eyes turned, and suddenly he saw that there seemed to be people on a hill in the distance. He looked at it with some surprise, and then he found that there were two figures on a higher hill about a mile away, standing on the top of the mountain, and at his feet were a cliff like a knife.

"Senior brother, there seems to be someone over there." Liu Xiu pointed to the mountain peak and said.

"Anyone?" Lu Min followed his direction to take a closer look, but didn't see anything, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others also came around, and after a long look, Zhang Fei nodded first: "Yes, there are two people, one of them is wearing green, hidden among the trees, it is not easy to see clearly." ”

Liu Bei suddenly realized: "I said why did I only see one, it turned out to be like this." ”

Zhang Fei rubbed his hands and was surprised: "That mountain peak is higher and steeper, how did the two of them go up, could it be that they flew up, are they really immortals in this world?" ”
