Chapter 136: The Tribulation of Dongyi

Dongyi Cottage is actually just a village built on a small dirt slope with a radius of less than ten miles and is not too high. But all around are plains, and this small dirt slope is also very eye-catching.

From a distance, I saw the old patriarch who was nearly seventy years old and his people waiting outside the village. The group dismounted, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then entered the village with the old patriarch. The old patriarch told us that the banyan tree was the patron saint tree of Dongyi, and they chose to settle down here because of the old banyan tree in the center of the village.

Back then, they left the deep mountains where they had lived for generations and ran all the way to the direction of the rising sun, but they only saw endless plains, but the Dongyi people were not used to living on the plains, and the vastness of the Pingchuan River would only make them feel uneasy. But after a year's long journey, the tribesmen could no longer walk.

At this time, they saw the old banyan tree, which was the largest banyan tree they had ever seen in their lives, and when they saw the guardian tree, the people fell down on their knees and told the tree what had happened to them, and asked the tree to show them the direction of the mountain. At that moment, the earth shook suddenly, and then the ground beneath their feet rose up.

So, the tribesmen surrounded this old banyan tree, surrounded the courtyard wall with adobe, and built houses with stones, so there is now this Dongyi cottage.

I bowed to the sacred tree three times according to the customs of Dongyi, hoping that it would bless that there would never be war here, and that the people here would always be as peaceful as they are today.

I'm afraid that we are not used to it, the old patriarch also specially let people vacate two yards next to each other, the smaller yard, the front of the court is full of flowers and green trees behind the house, although it is not luxurious, but it is better than comfortable and warm, so I can't help but think of my grandfather's courtyard. Mo Qian took the guards and lived in another courtyard.

The old patriarch's house was next door, and he told us that he once had ten sons, but unfortunately they either died in the war with Beiyi, or died on the way to relocate, and now there is only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old granddaughter with the old man, who has already promised a family, and will marry out in the New Year.

Just when the girl came in for tea, I saw that she was born white, so I gave her a red agate necklace that I had with me, and she accepted the necklace, and took off a jade pendant from her waist, and made a gesture to give it to me.

The old patriarch pulled his granddaughter and knelt on the ground, and said with sincere fear: "The country girl is not sensible, and I ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to forgive her sins." ”

It turned out that the exchange of accessories by the Dongyi woman represented the marriage of the two of them. The granddaughter of the old patriarch only knew that the eldest princess was the emperor's aunt, but she didn't know that the emperor of Tianyuguo was only four years old, so she thought that the emperor had a beard like in the play, so she naturally thought that the eldest princess was a white-haired old lady.

"The patriarch is serious." I helped the old patriarch to get up, and accidentally saw the green and white jade pendant that the girl held in her hand, the green and white jade is not as precious as the white jade because the white jade is slightly green, but such a large piece of green and white jade pendant is not an ordinary thing in the people, especially this double-sided carving, which is even rarer.

And it just so happened that I had two identical double-sided jade pendants, one side was my name, and the other side was Mu Yu's name, my piece was lost, but I don't know when Mu Yu picked it up. In the end, she left me both jade pendants.

I took the jade pendant and smiled at the girl: "Since ancient times, there has only been a precedent for canonizing a princess, but there is no precedent for canonizing the eldest princess. ”

The girl hurriedly saluted again, and said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not to blame, Jingwan is already grateful to Dade, how dare she dare to have a relationship with His Royal Highness." ”

"Your name is Jingwan?" Liang Jingshu asked: "Jing Nu's Jing Jiao?" ”

"Back to ......" Jing Wan hesitated for a moment before saying: "Back to this nobleman, it is Jing Wan of Jing Nu Qiyi." ”

"My name is Liang Jingshu!" Liang Jingshu smiled: "Jingshu of Jingnu Qishu!" ”

"It seems that this jade pendant shouldn't be taken by me!" I handed the green and white jade pendant to Liang Jingshu, Liang Jingshu took it and hung it on her waist, and took off the ornament inlaid with the night pearl from her waist and hung it on Jingshu's body.

In the afternoon, I asked Jinghuan to teach me how to make mooncakes, and Liang Jingshu also came to help, picking out the best mooncakes I made by myself, wrapping them in paper, and then putting them in a wooden box. So I took them to the orchard to pick the fruits, and to the pond to pick the lotus flowers.

In the evening, the enthusiastic Dongyi people set up a bonfire in the open space in the village, and set up a long feast around the bonfire to serve sumptuous food. Although I had a limited amount of wine, I was also tempted by the more than 30 years of wine, and I was still unsatisfied with two glasses, and I was afraid of losing my temper after drinking like before, so I had to put down my glass.

After the banquet, I went back to the small courtyard, opened the door, and there were a few of my favorite dishes on the table. I guess he must have seen that I was hungry for wine but didn't dare to drink too much outside, so he brought it here.

I deliberately pretended to be unclear and said to him: "The girl in Dongyi Cottage is handsome, and tonight is a full moon, why don't you go to them to spend the moon before the moon, why are you here with me?" ”

"Lord the fragrance of flowers in this courtyard!" He knew that I was joking with him, so he went into the house and opened the seal of the jar, and suddenly, the mellow aroma of wine spread, I urged Mo Qian to pour me wine, and I couldn't wait to pick up the cup, take a sip of wine, eat a bite of side dishes, beautiful!

"I heard that the Lord made moon cakes?"

"yes!" I pulled off a chicken leg vigorously, took a bite, and used chopsticks to pick up the greens.

He smiled at me flatteringly, "I wonder if my subordinates will have the honor to taste it?" ”

"It's all the same!" I was afraid that Mo Qian didn't understand, so I explained: "It's the same as those moon cakes at the banquet." ”

"How can it be the same?"

"The same skin, the same filling, the same abrasive, the same stove, the same taste." I said, "I watched Jing Jiao do it, I can't be wrong!" ”

"Do you want to taste the mooncakes made by your subordinates?" As he spoke, Mo Qian held a piece of mooncake that was as exquisite as a flower in front of me.

"It doesn't matter if you eat the mooncakes another day, if you can't finish this table, it will be wasted." Hum! If you want to laugh at my craftsmanship and show off his craftsmanship in front of me, how can I give him a chance!

"I'll eat it for you!" Mo Qian angrily picked up most of the remaining chickens on the plate and bit down the chicken's neck.

Seeing him gobbling up, I wondered, "Haven't you eaten it?" Why are you still so hungry! ”

"The Lord is not full!" Otherwise, how could he prepare such a large table of dishes.

That's right, too! I wasn't full either. It's not because the food at the banquet is not good, but because the Dongyi people don't use chili peppers at all. In their eyes, chili peppers have a pungent taste and are hot, and they are used for cold stagnation, abdominal pain, diarrhea and chilblains. Just ask, who is okay to use the medicine to cure diseases? Not to mention putting on a feast.

Actually, before me, the continent only regarded chili peppers as a kind of ornamental and elegant ornamentation. I was supposed to be the first person on the continent to eat chili peppers, and then I infected the people who ate at the same table as me, and it wasn't until these two years that chili peppers were finally officially accepted as a vegetable.

I filled a bowl of wine and sent it to Mo Qian, "Hey, don't patronize eating, drinking, come, drink more!" ”

"Don't drink! My subordinates have to keep a vigil for you tonight. ”

"No, it's just me and Liang Jingshu in this yard, even if I touch her bed in the middle of the night, she won't mind." I thought of something again and smiled, "It's not safe for you to be here." ”

"Don't worry, even if you really do something to me, your subordinates will not be responsible for pestering the Lord."

"Mo Qian, you learn badly!" Obviously, I was laughing at him, the "world's first flower picker", but he in turn laughed at me for being drunk and immoral. Hey, this is the tragedy of his subordinates being smarter than himself, tragedy!

In the middle of the night, Dongyi Cottage was heavily surrounded. Mo Qian, who was guarding the yard, noticed that something was wrong and knocked on Lin Muyu's door, but there was no response, so he slammed open the door in a hurry, and saw that Lin Muyu was so drunk that he was unconscious, so he had to pick her up horizontally, and when he went out to meet Liang Jingshu who came out of another room, the two glanced at each other, and rushed quickly to the outside of the village, but at this time, the Fengqi army outside the village had already broken in.

If only Lin Muyu hadn't been drunk, with her light skills, she could fly out of the cottage directly past these people. It's a pity that Lin Muyu is drunk! In a hurry, Mo Qian had no choice but to hold her and jump onto the old banyan tree.

I heard the crying of children, a lot of people crying! It's a good Mid-Autumn Festival, why are they crying? I opened my eyes impatiently, and before I could see clearly, a hand suddenly covered my mouth, "Lord, don't speak!" ”

I nodded, and Mo Qian took away the hand that was covering my mouth. At this time, I was leaning against the trunk of a tree and sitting on a thick branch, surrounded by Mo Qian and Liang Jingshu. Through the faint shadows of the trees, I saw countless Fengqi soldiers with torches pouring into the village, breaking through the door and killing people when they saw it.

I went to touch the soft sword on my waist, but Mo Qian held my wrist dead and said, "One hundred thousand Fengqi soldiers, if you go down, you will be sent to death!" ”

"Where did the 100,000 phoenix soldiers come from?"

"In the battle of Changshun City, the 100,000 Fengqi soldiers who survived by luck! But he thought that Qiu Yun did not return to Fengqi with them, but ran here. ”

In the battle of Changshun City, Fengqi successively increased its troops by 800,000, accounting for half of the entire Fengqi country. Originally, Tianyuguo had the opportunity to annihilate the 800,000 Fengqi army. It's me! felt that there were too many killings in this battle, so Mo Qian opened the net and let the surviving Fengqi soldiers go home! Unexpectedly, not only did they not go back, but they also aimed the butcher knife in their hands at the innocent people of the Dongyi tribe.

People say that good things must be done, bad things must be done, and this time, it is because I have not done bad things that I have all this today!

They drove all the living people to the clearing under the old banyan tree, and one by one they asked me about my whereabouts, but how could these innocent people guess that I was right in front of them, on their patronus tree!

Seeing that he couldn't get the result, Qiu Yun began to kill people, the elderly, children, and the prime...... Kill one after another. Then he saw Jing Jiao, lifted the girl's face, smiled*, and picked up the poor girl after a few words to his subordinates.

The old patriarch dragged Jing Jiao, knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously to beg Qiu Yun to let her go, but her head was cut off with a knife. Jing Huan, who was frightened and frightened, screamed like crazy, and was slapped in the face by Qiu Yun, and there was no movement. In the distance, the intermittent cry for help came from the girl's mouth into my ears, and the night pearl ornament dangled and swayed in the dark corner, until the miserable cry became weaker and weaker, and finally it could no longer be heard, and it was still swaying and shaking......

Qiu Yun, this beast! I'm going to cut him with a thousand knives! Suddenly exerting my strength to break free from Mo Qian's clamps, I was about to rush out of the sheath, but I was wrapped around my waist by Liang Jingshu's golden whip, and I was confined to the tree again.
