Chapter 836: Dongzhu's First Encounter
Five days later, the group came to the capital of Dongzhu County.
This is indeed a country with different folk customs from Qi Mingguo.
In the villages near the Demon Domain, it is not far from the Qi Underworld, and the customs left hundreds of years ago before the Demon Domain was not divided, there is still a little bit of the appearance of the Qi Underworld, and the deeper you go, the more different you see, and the more different it is from the Qingyuan Dynasty, until it is difficult to find the things in your memory.
The rocks of Dongzhu are mostly red in character, and the sandy soil is bright yellow, because of this special soil quality, the crops are not good enough, but they are rich in a kind of fruit trees that have never been seen before, the fruit on the tree is the staple food of the Dongzhu people, and the fruit is ripe and leaves a kind of flocculent thing that is the material they use to make cloth. Therefore, in Dongzhu, both food and clothing are different from those of Qi Mingguo.
As for living, it was not until Ximen Jingxuan came that the first spacious and bright attic was built, and more people simply dug a hole in the stone mountain, and the place where King Dongzhu lived was a so-called palace built of rocks.
This palace is not as magnificent as any of the main halls I have seen before, and it is full of rock red, and it looks like a strong sense of vicissitudes from a distance.
Even the terrain of Dongzhu County is uneven, suddenly up and down next to a mountain, between the mountains is the place of buyers and sellers, just like the streets in the ordinary city, just walk in it, the two sides are not attic shops, but high or low mountains, and the shops are the caves at the foot of the mountain.
King Dongzhu chose such a place as the county capital, even if someone rebelled, he couldn't step on the flat river, I'm afraid that only the county of Dongzhu in the whole world is so rugged.
Togisa is an aggressive man and a very skilled horseman, riding his horse through several hills effortlessly, and a battle can be seen at any time.
On the day of the first lunar month, Dongzhu is not as cold as Qi Mingguo, and it is dry. Rushing all the way, Lin Xin'er was sweating. If she hadn't been in a hurry to remove the remnants of those who had been poisoned, and rushed to make wheelchairs for Leng Yanqiu, she would definitely choose to slow down with Ximen Jingxuan and enjoy the peculiar scenery of Dongzhu.
"Master Guoshi, the king asked me to wait here for my lord and wife, and the king has prepared a big banquet in the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust for my lord."
As soon as Ximen Jingxuan crossed a mountain road, someone greeted him.
Fortunately, the language of the Dongzhu people is still similar to that of Qi Mingguo, the difference is only the different accent caused by the tone of the voice, which does not sound too laborious and easy to learn.
"Okay, the national teacher and his wife will go to the palace to meet the king, and they will ask for your lordship to help settle our friends." Ximen Jingxuan didn't return the salute, at most it was just politeness in his tone.
"Don't worry, the friends of the National Teacher and his wife are my honored guests in Dongzhu, and Weichen will entertain him." Soliba said respectfully.
Ximen Jingxuan bowed slightly, and then led Lin Xin'er to the horse that King Dongzhu had prepared for them.
And Soliba waited sideways, staring at Lin Xin'er with a blank gaze, watching her ride on the horse, watching her wave her whip and gallop along with Ximen Jingxuan, and the wind galloped to the steep mountain road in front of her and went around, and she couldn't see her figure again.
Lin Xin'er listened to Ximen Jingxuan's introduction to Dongzhu's situation on the road, and knew that there was no sedan chair in and out of the Dongzhu Palace, either she was allowed to ride a horse at will, or she could only walk on foot, and the sedan chair was a shame for the Dongzhu people, only the weak would use it, even if the injured person could grit his teeth and ride a horse, he would never choose a low-looking carriage and sedan chair.
Since this is a common folk custom in Dongzhu, even women are no exception, if a woman is taken by a man to ride a horse, even the man's beloved will be underestimated.
Obviously, Lin Xin'er's first impression on Lord Soliba was very good, and she didn't lose the face of the national teacher.
And Lord Soliba, who is proficient in equestrianism, can also see at a glance that Mrs. Guoshi's skills are absolutely superior, and such a woman will not disappoint those who have doubts about the marriage of Master Guoshi.
You must know that the National Teacher is now a god in the entire Dongzhu, how can an ordinary woman, and a woman from the Qi Underworld be worthy?
I heard that Dongzhu Guoshi went to Qi Ming Kingdom just to find a wife, I don't know how many women in the capital of Dongzhu County who are not convinced, and they have been waiting for a long time.
"Is this Lord Suo credible?" Halfway through, Lin Xin'er asked.
I always feel worried about handing over Leng Yanqiu to a stranger.
"He is the first complement under King Dongzhu, and he has a lot of power, it is more appropriate to have him to entertain Yanqiu, you can rest assured." Ximen Jingxuan Road.
"It turns out that it's such a big official," Lin Xin'er said with a smile.
The laughter stopped abruptly, Lin Xin'er tightened the horse's rope, took a leap in the air, and jumped over a stone that rolled down from the cliff next to her.
Although the road to the capital of Dongzhu County is rugged and can hone the strength of people's feet to come and go, I don't know if King Dongzhu has ever thought that this mountain road can easily bury traps, and if there is really a war, the people of the county capital will be regarded as turtles in the urn, even if they can stop the invasion from outside, the people inside will not be able to ask for much good.
Unless, King Dongzhu had already planned all kinds of possible means of escape.
After jumping over the first stone, Lin Xin'er jumped three more times in a row before stopping the horse.
A fast horse rushed down from the mountain.
"Xianggong, is this how you are preparing to receive your wife?" Lin Xin'er stared at the fast horse from top to bottom and questioned Ximen Jingxuan behind her.
It's not that I'm not really angry, but I feel a little unhappy when I see that it was a woman who stopped her.
She also has a little selfish emotion. If it weren't for her, the sudden Mrs. of the National Teacher, she really couldn't imagine who she would have a grudge with when she first arrived in Dongzhu?
Of course, the hidden one has never been seen, and Yang Lan, who has come forward for someone, is not counted.
"This is a woman who doesn't know the height of the sky, and she cleaned her up for me, so as not to be able to be the only one who is worthy of being a national teacher!"
"Well, since you say that, I'm welcome!" Lin Xin'er stepped forward on a horse and met the woman dozens of meters away from Ximen Jingxuan.
In front of her, I still want to get close to Ximen Jingxuan, don't even think about it!
"Smack!"
The woman and Lin Xin'er stopped their horses almost at the same time, and the horsewhip was raised.
Lin Xin'er jumped sideways, turned over and jumped behind the woman, and pushed it with her hand, but the woman didn't have time to react, and she got off the horse.
Fortunately, the woman's riding skills are good, I don't know how many times she has fallen off the horse since she was a child, and she has the ability to deal with it sensitively, so at the moment she fell off the horse, she turned over and stood up straight, but she didn't forget to show a smug look at Lin Xin'er.
It's a pity,,
