Chapter 140: The Covenant of Zichuan (I)

There is a poem in Shu that says:

There is a heavenly palace outside the world, and you are invited to Zichuan.

Qiongliu washes the cliff, and the red glow extinguishes the smoke.

The hero cuts through the fog and does not hide his face.

The crane is in the clouds, and the sage is in Yiyi.

Zichuan, the capital of Shu Kingdom, is a mountain city, built at the foot of Yihui Mountain, the terrain rises and falls, there are the common people with cooking smoke curling in the narrow and deep alleys, and the elegant and chic academy, Qin Zhai, sword hall, and chess house in the narrow and deep alleys. Shu'er, Dongfang Zhuo, and the three guards of the Shengwang Mansion had never been to Zichuan, so they were dizzying to visit, comment, and admire.

Because Shu'er promised Dongfang Shou to let him take a detour to Zichuan, go to Shu Palace with her and Zhuge Congrong to offer swords, and then go to Chen Guo to pick up Su Qin, so Dongfang Shou has been very flattering to Shu'er these days, and often walks beside her to make her happy. The two walked side by side at this time, and Zhuge calmly walked behind them, discussing Shudi martial arts with Qing Yu and Yi Feng. Dongfang Chou did not feel that the mountain road was difficult, but jumped all the way, full of energy, and wanted to catch the yellow-bellied bird on the roof, and wanted to tease the ape on the tree. Since Shu'er learned that Dongfang Chou was a poor child who was born without a mother's upbringing, she also had a lot more patience with him and explained to him in detail what she knew about the scenery of Shudi.

In addition to being happy, Dongfang Chou also gradually became closer to Shu'er, and couldn't help revealing what he was thinking, and said to Shu'er: "Sister Yan, if my father could take me around the world like Brother Rong's father-in-law, instead of learning to march and fight, and conspire, how good it would be!" ”

Shu'er smiled: "How old are you now, you have already read so many military books, you have learned so many methods of arranging formations, and you are already full of tricks. Your father also has good intentions for you, so why should you envy others? Besides, didn't your father let you go out and travel with us around the world? You have traveled all over the Chu Kingdom, Shu Kingdom and Chen State at once this time, and you can also tour the Yihui Palace of Shu and the Jinyang Palace of Chen State in one go, not to mention that you are still a small commoner in cloth clothes, even if it is your brother Lin's prince's father, he must not have been to so many places when he was twelve or thirteen years old! Your dad hasn't been to that many places, has he? ”

Dongfang shook his head and said, "Where has the prince been before, I don't know." But my dad has been to so many places! He said that he had been to the White Jade Palace of the Song Kingdom more than ten years ago! ”

Shu'er was curious: "Your father is King Sheng's advisor, what are you doing in the Song Palace?" ”

Dongfang said helplessly: "He said that he was just taking a vacation to play, and he didn't tell me in detail." I asked him if he had seen the monarch of the Song Kingdom in the White Jade Palace, and he said that he did, and he was a hairy boy with incomplete tones, and then there was no follow-up. My father is a person, and every time I ask him something, I have to ask him several times before he is willing to speak in detail. If he had the patience of you and Brother Rong, I wouldn't be like now, and I still can't beat Brother Qingyu and Brother Yifeng. ”

Shu'er laughed: "Your father actually said that Liu Jing, the king of Song, is a hairy boy with incomplete tones?" ”

Dongfang nodded innocently and said, "This is my father's original words, but I didn't make it up." ”

"That's probably made up by your father to suppress the arrogance of your outspoken little Easter." ”

The group talked and laughed, and unconsciously came to Yihui Mountain, where the Shu Palace is located. Dongfang read the poem on the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, and had some doubts: "There is a heavenly palace outside the world, and I invite you to Zichuan." Brother Rong, is there really a fairyland in the Yihui Mountain of Zichuan in Shu Kingdom? ”

Zhuge calmly looked at the clouds and mist on the top of Yihui Mountain, and said: "Everyone in the world knows that the peerless peak of Xiling in Shu Kingdom, standing proudly in the mountains, overlooking the world, but few people know that the scenery of Shu Palace on the top of Yihui Mountain in Zichuan is the most dusty. ”

Dongfang pointed to the top of the misty mountain and asked, "The Yihui Palace, where the King of Shu lives, is on the top of the mountain?" ”

Zhuge nodded calmly, then looked at Qingyu and Yifeng, and said, "I still hope that Brother Qingyu and Brother Yifeng will lead the way." Although I went to Yihui Palace with my father-in-law when I was a child, I haven't taken this road for many years, so I don't remember it clearly. ”

When going up the mountain, Qingyu and Yifeng walked in front of each other, and several people followed, enjoying the unique scenery of Yihui Mountain all the way. Yihui Mountain is full of strange stones, but the mountain flowers are splendid, and the colors are rich and changing. Although there are vast clouds and mist, it is not dull. The mountain road is built along the water, with century-old stone steps, winding and circulating. The chirping of hundreds of birds in the bamboo forest is melodious and beautiful, and it shows that it is quiet and quiet, and it is not stained with earthly fireworks.

Zhuge calmly held Shu'er's hand, and the two walked at the end. He whispered to Shu'er, "My father-in-law should also be in the Yihui Palace at this time. We have already discussed with the king of Shu, and when I return from the state of Chu, we will borrow the territory of the king of Shu to start an incident. But I don't want to delay the marriage of you and me. After all, after the incident, I will run around, and I really can't bear to be separated from you anymore. Shu'er, I want to take you with me all the time, but I don't want to wronged you for walking beside me without a name or a point. I assure you that I will not tell my father-in-law about your background, and my father-in-law will never stand in the way of your marriage. It's just the wedding date...... I was really anxious, so I persuaded Xiao Dongfang to make a detour to Zichuan to attend our wedding banquet. After all, if we don't get married, he won't be able to go to Fanjing for a day. You don't blame me for being cunning, do you? ”

Shu'er squeezed Zhuge calmly's hand and smiled crookedly. She said sweetly: "Since I was a child, no one wanted or cared about me, either I was thrown into the river casually, or I was given to others casually, it is rare that the young master is so eager to take me in and give me a home, how can I blame you?" Besides, even if you are as cunning as a fox, I have already given it to you if you want to steal. ”

Zhuge calmly and knowingly asked: "What do I want to steal from a wealthy businessman in my dignified Zhuge family?" ”

Shu'er leaned into his ear and whispered, "The Lord of Xiling's Seven Tricks is exquisite. ”

Zhuge listened calmly and was very useful, and wanted Shu'er to say it again, but he felt that it would be better to explain the marriage period clearly. He said with a straight face: "Shu'er, don't say that you are now the richest man in Chen Guo and the lord of Xiling, even if you are just the boss of Biliang Cosmetics Shop, I Zhuge is definitely not kind enough to 'take in' you." I am not taking you in, nor am I willing to coerce you. In fact, with your identity, without inviting any relatives and friends as matchmakers, you agreed to marry an orphan like me who looks gorgeous but has a sad background, which really wronged you. If you don't want to marry me too soon, I can understand that. If you still need some time to think, it is better to go to the Chen Kingdom with Xiao Dongfang after going to the appointment of the King of Shu to send the sword. ”

Shu'er shook her head and said, "Calmly, what I decide will not be changed easily." I've been thinking about it for three years, and I don't need any more time. I have missed too much in this life, and I will never miss the opportunity to marry you in this fairyland heavenly palace, such an opportunity that cannot be missed, and will never come again.
