Because the water level of the Qinglong River has dropped and there has been no rain recently, the river water has evaporated quickly due to the exposure of the poisonous sun, so that the aquatic plants under the embankment on both sides are about to expose their roots.

This morning, an old woman picking wild vegetables along the river bank found a monster in the river, the old woman was old, the old eyes were dizzy, so she called her son and daughter-in-law to come and see, the little couple looked carefully, the thing floating in the river, like a horse not a horse, actually had horns, suspected of being a water monster, so everyone rushed to the river to see, there were people who had seen the world and read the ancient books and said: "Ah, this is the dragon horse!" ”

The legend of the river map, many people still know, in ancient times, the dragon and horse negative map out of the Meng River, Fu Xi according to this gossip.

That is the ancients, now is the Qing Dynasty, that is the Meng River, here is the Qinglong River, suddenly appeared dragon horse, everyone was shocked, but also happy, because the dragon horse is auspicious, everyone brushed and crunched on the ground, kowtowed to the dragon and horse, kept praying, and some people quickly reported the matter to the yamen.

Shangguan Yu, who was tired of the calf, was also quite shocked when he heard this, and took people to the river bank to see, but only saw a little tail of the dragon horse, and later, the dragon horse swam into the deep water and refused to use it again.

Qinglong River is auspicious, this is a big event, a big thing, Shangguan Yu hurriedly wrote a chapter, ready to report the matter to Kangxi.

On the other side, Ba Yi also heard about this, accompanied by Da Chun and wanted to take a look at the Qinglong River, but saw Shangguan Yu rushing towards him, and saw that Ba Yi was busy asking for a thousand greetings, Ba Yi waved his hand and asked anxiously: "Qinglong River is out of Longma, what's going on?" ”

Shangguan Yu briefly described the process, and said: "Xiaguan has already written a recital, this time is already on the way, the emperor heard that the Qinglong River is auspicious, and he must be happy, this is the blessing of Mengjiang people, how can it not be the blessing of the imperial court, the whole world is not the king's land, not to mention that outside the gate is the land of Longxing." ”

Ba Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, he was not happy, and even a little dignified, and said: "This matter is not trivial, once there is an abnormality, it is not good to alarm the holy driver." ”

Shangguan Yu looked puzzled: "Xiangrui is a blessing from heaven in the world, it should be played, but the general is worried." ”

Ba Yihu said suspiciously: "What I mean, whether it is Ryoma or Xiangrui is not known." ”

Shangguan Yu's eyebrows fluttered and he gestured: "What the old man saw, although I only saw a small tail when I went, I still saw it, it will not be wrong, the general does not have to worry." ”

Ba Yi wanted to say something, but Shangguan Yu said anxiously: "Out of Xiangrui, the matter on the river work should be slowed down, don't collide with the gods, Xiaguan will go and order." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly saluted and walked away.

Ba Yi's gloomy deepened, and he exhaled heavily, quite helpless.

Da Chun asked as if inquiring: "The general doesn't believe in Ryoma?" ”

Ba Yi thought for a moment: "In ancient Fuxi, there may be real people, but the matter of Longma, how do you know that it is not a legend of the good intentions of the people, this matter has not been ascertained and played rashly, after all, it is a little inappropriate." ”

Da Chun smiled: "Look at the Lord Shangguan who is happy to pick up the big ingots, it's not because the Mengjiang River is his territory, and the Qinglong River is auspicious, and his political achievements are great now." ”

Ba Yi glanced back at Da Chun: "Don't say that about Lord Shangguan." ”

Da Chun hurriedly lowered his head: "Huh." ”

Ba Yi stood quietly, Da Chun didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't dare to say much, so he stood with him for a while and listened to him: "Let's go, go to Qinglong River." ”

So that the horses were led, and the two of them hurried to the place where the dragon horse appeared, where many people still gathered, and when they saw it, they proudly described the scene at that time, and if they didn't see it, they regretted waiting for the rabbit, hoping that the dragon horse would appear again.

Ba Yi and Dachun wore regular clothes, quietly stopped at a distance from the people, stood on the river bank and watched from afar, only to see the Qinglong River flowing from west to east, the aquatic plants on both sides swayed with the wind, and occasionally birds fell and flew up, but there was no trace of dragon horses, Ba Yi looked at it for a long time, and asked Dachun: "Will it be watery?" ”

Da Chun smiled: "When I was a child, there was a blister at the door of the house, full of reeds, red knotweeds, calamus and other things, in those aquatic plants, often hidden wild ducks, pheasants, quails, etc., marked but not less to catch wild ducks and pheasant quails, but also picked up some eggs back, one day a careless, slipped into the bubble, scared yelling, but no one passed, the mark was indiscriminately fluttering, did not think that he actually learned to water. ”

Ba Yi looked at him and smiled, and pretended to be angry: "Long-winded, can you dive underwater?" ”

Da Chun had already understood his thoughts, and had already begun to undress: "I can hold my breath for a short time." ”

Ba Yi nodded: "You know what I want." ”

Dachun walked to the embankment and turned around, "The general wants to know what that dragon horse is?" ”

Ba Yi told him: "Be careful. ”

Da Chun took off only a pair of middle pants, put the braid on the top of his head, said "Don't worry", jumped over, puffed into the water, Ba Yi hurriedly came to the embankment to look.

The kid is not bad in water, the fish is general, he swims out for a long time, and then a fierce man plunges into the water, Ba Yi stares at the ripples that ripple slightly on the water, and after a while, Da Chun drilled out of the water to breathe, and then plunged into the water again, how many times this repeated, it seems that nothing has been found.

Ba Yi frowned, seeing that Da Chun was getting farther and farther away from him, he began to worry, shouted at him, Da Chun swam towards him, and when he reached the embankment, Ba Yi pulled him up with a hand, Da Chun wiped the water on his face, and then held up an object to Ba Yi to see: "General, this thing is strange." ”

Ba Yi looked at it, but a ball of red clay, can be seen everywhere on Mengjiang Mountain, this kind of mud is very sticky, people often use it to build houses and walls, the rain is not easy to melt, can be molded into various things, is a thing for children to play.

Malleable?

Ba Yi sizzled in his mouth, took the ball of red clay and pinched it, instantly understood what Da Chun meant, and muttered to himself: "Who is so bold and dares to make such a joke." ”

Da Chun said: "As the general said, the Fuxi clan may have its own people, Longma River map, how do you know that it is not a rumor of goodwill from the people, Qinglonghe, this dragon horse, probably who feels that the Mengjiang River has not been very peaceful in recent years, either the water is sent or there is a big case, I want to use this matter to inspire people." ”

Ba Yi sighed: "What you said may be true, but it is very inappropriate for Lord Shangguan to play to the emperor, once the emperor finds out that this matter is false, he is guilty of bullying the king." ”

He was worried that it was useless, the excerpt to Kangxi had been sent to the capital in an urgent manner for six hundred miles, Kangxi heard that the Qinglong River came out of the dragon horse, and summoned Zhou Kongmeng and other ministers in the south study, he held the excerpt handed by Shangguan Yu in his hand, and said with a happy face: "Dragon Horse is auspicious, God favors me in the Qing Dynasty, and God also treats me well, this is a major event in Mengjiang, and it is also a major event in the imperial court, I am ready to go to Mengjiang again." ”
