Chapter 1 The deer died for a reason
Fengcheng is located in the deep mountains of China, 200 miles in length and width, surrounded by mountains, the miasma on the ridge is pervasive, and the clouds do not disperse for a long time; the legend surrounds the strange mountains and mountains of Fengcheng, there was no miasma before; 400 years ago, a golden phoenix flew into the city and roared in the sky, dancing and dancing; since then, the miasma between the mountains is pervasive, and the sky is full of clouds; Fengcheng has been isolated from the world since then, the four seasons are like spring, the people call the mountains around the city Fengling, and distinguish them from the south, east, and northwest; the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, self-sufficient, not disturbed by all things from the outside world, and have also been spared the suffering of hundreds of years of war!
The city lord Sima Yang loves the people like a son, is honest and fair, rewards and punishments are clear, Fengcheng has not closed his door at night for decades, and the road has not been left behind; the people are harmonious, and the immortals are envious, just like a paradise on earth, more like a paradise!
Sima Yang has a son and two daughters, the eldest daughter Sima Yu is now more than 20 years old, upright, extraordinary, like a man, has never been married; Sima Yang has never been anxious about this, after all, the young son is not talented, he is obsessed with calligraphy and painting all day long, and he can never succeed to his throne; but Sima Yu has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has a heroic spirit, so if he wishes, he will stay for a hundred years, and want to let his eldest daughter Sima Yu take charge of Fengcheng and continue to benefit the people; she has a very high reputation in the city, and often shows grace to people and saves people from suffering!
In the early morning of this day, Sima Yang and his eldest daughter were wandering in the market, and suddenly saw several strong men driving ox carts passing by, carrying more than ten white deer on the carts, all of which were dead, so he stepped forward to stop the strong men.
"Dare to ask the little brother, where did the white deer in the car come from and where will it be transported?" Sima Yang spoke in a kind tone, full of smiles, and did not have the shelf of the city lord at all, but like a humble elder.
"It turned out to be Sima City Lord......" The strong man's cheeks were full of smiles, and his expression was stable: "These white deer died on the bank of Nanling Creek, when I waited, there was a little green foam on the side of the white deer's mouth, which had been washed away by watering the stream;
"Little brother don't be frightened, Sima Yang just wants to know the origin" Sima Yang waved his hand slightly, pointed to the dead deer on the ox cart and continued to ask: "I don't know if little brother has time, take me to the affected place to find out?"
"Sima City Lord is polite, wait for me to give a little advice......," the strong man said, turned to the other young men and said, "You don't have to wait for me, drive to the southwest wilderness first, wait for me to guide the way to help Sima City Lord find out, eliminate hidden dangers, and then go to meet you!"
"Obey! young master!" several young men continued to drive southwest.
"Yu'er!" Sima Yang turned around, his face full of caution: "Quickly return to the mansion to lead the army twenty, and go to the bank of Nanling Creek to find me!"
"Daughter, let's go home, daddy be careful on the road!" Sima Yu said, turned around and hurried away.
"I heard that a few junior brothers call Your Excellency Young Master, and dare to ask Your Excellency ......" Sima Yang pointed to a few young people who were gradually moving away.
"In Xia Xiahou Mu, a person from Nanling You Town, my father Xiahou Lang has been in business for decades, and only a few strong men are in the house, so I call my young master!"
"It turned out to be You Zhen Junjie, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Sima Yang was humble and unrestrained, and waved his palms lightly: "Xiahou Shaoxia, please!"
"City Lord, please!" Xiahou Mu slowly turned sideways, bent his waist slightly, and motioned for Sima Yang to walk in front of him and go to the south gate.
"Haha!" Sima Yang smiled heartily to show his respect: "I have heard that Xiahou has a simple family style and a very strict family education, and I met by chance today, my son is really chivalrous and courageous, and his appearance is extraordinary, Sima Yang thanked him first!"
"Sima City Lord has a reputation!" Xiahou Mu moved slowly and followed Sima Yang to the south: "As a citizen of Fengcheng, you should live as the master, if there is really an epidemic in Nanling, it is better to find out as soon as possible!"
"Haha! If the people of Fengcheng are like young heroes, Fengcheng will be safe......" Sima Yang laughed with Xiahou Mu, and came to the south gate of Fengcheng in less than half an hour.
"Sima City Lord!" Coming to the south gate of Fengcheng, Xiahou Mu pointed to a big stone not far away: "Why don't I sit on this stone for the time being, and wait for Miss Sima to come;
"Haha!" Sima Yang stroked his beard and smiled: "Xiahou Shaoxia is serious, I want my Sima Yang to practice martial arts since I was a child, and it is not a problem...... There is such a vision on the bank of Nanling Creek, even if Sima Yang is just a Li people, he should go to find out and relieve the people of Fengcheng from fire and water!"
"Sima City Lord has the world in his heart, and admires it!" Xiahou Mu hugged his fist slightly, bowed his head and respected.
"I think of the people of Fengcheng, who have been trapped here for hundreds of years, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse...... Sima Yang turned around and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance: "Since the Fengming city wall, although the people have not suffered from the war, they don't know anything outside the boundary, and it is difficult to know what time ...... present, past, and year!" he said, and turned to look at Xiahou Mu: "Therefore, the big and small visions in the mountain should be taken seriously; the stream of the Nanling Mountains is the root of the water source of my Fengcheng, and it should never be underestimated......
"The city lord is reasonable!" Xiahou Mu looked at Dachuan slightly, his expression was slightly sunken: "I, the people of Youzhen have guarded it for generations, and I have set up a rule hundreds of years ago - all visions by the river are regarded as the top priority, and the first Fengcheng management is ...... This time the deer was transported to the southwest wilderness, and the original intention was to return to the city, but it was unexpectedly a coincidence, but it saved a lot of trouble!"
"For four hundred years, it is a blessing for Fengcheng to be so carefully guarded by the people of You Town on the banks of Nanling Creek...... Sima Yang looked solemn, clenched his fists and bowed his head: "Rong Sima Yang thanked the people of You Zhen on behalf of the people of Fengcheng!"
"The city lord's words are serious...... Xiahou Mu hurriedly picked up Sima Yang, who had just bent down: "The same Fengcheng Li people, the people of Youzhen should do their best, do not forget the ancestral teachings, the city lord does not have to be so condescending!"
"Daddy!" Just as Sima Yang got up, the eldest daughter Sima Yu had already led the soldiers to the south gate: "The ten sergeants are on standby on the plank road, and two war horses are prepared for Daddy and Xiahou Shaoxia to ride!"
"Ahh......h
"Xiahou Shaoxia doesn't have to be formal...... Sima Yang stretched out his hand and pulled Xiahou Mu up: "Let's go, I'll go to Nanling Creek later!"
Sima Yu smiled without saying a word, followed Sima Yang and Xiahou Mu lightly, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the plank road horse.
There is a small stream at the foot of Nanling Mountain, the width is not more than five zhang, the people of You Town call it Longxi; this stream comes from outside the ridge, belongs to the outside water flow, the stream sinks at the bottom of the ridge, no one has ever tried to cross; the bottom of the ridge creek is about ten miles long, the stream water is sweet and moist after coming out of the ridge, the constant temperature is not cold; for hundreds of years, this stream is the only water source for the people of the whole city; since Fengming City, the city lord ordered the sergeant to guard day and night, several years later, the sergeant built the town of You, generation to protect the Longxi as his own responsibility, never slackened!
