Chapter 42: Excitement

In this autumn drunken morning, the convoy has been driving at high speed.

The horses' hooves clattered against the stone pavement, and the ruts accompanied softly, like a beautiful piece of music.

An hour passed, and the carriage, which was almost straight without encountering too many curves, made several turns one after another, turning left, turning right, and going uphill, but the people in the car did not have any discomfort, and it was very stable.

Xuanyuan Qiming found that he didn't know if it was because he was far away from the palace, or because he was getting closer and closer to the palace, Wan'er's aura had undergone some subtle changes.

At this moment, she stretched out her slender fingers and pinched the wings of Duanmu Xiuxiu's nose that was comfortably about snotty bubbles, and she didn't do anything else, just pinched it quietly.

The white and tender face of the bun who was sleeping happily and fragrantly slowly became red and congested, "Ya Ya Ya" and then there was a weak sound of struggle, as if he was in a nightmare, and finally, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and opened his eyes.

The eyes that were already burning with flames, saw my sister sitting quietly on the side, the flames were instantly extinguished by ice water, and she got up in a daze, rubbing her eyes and yawning.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

Zeng Guopan's voice sounded outside the car curtain: "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, it's here." ”

As for who "you" meant, he didn't dare to care.

Xuanyuan Qiming jumped out of the carriage and looked around.

This is a platform located halfway up the mountain, and the stone slabs on the ground have been paved for a long time, and it feels like it has been integrated with the surrounding mountains and forests, and there is no man-made craftsmanship.

Behind it is a long corridor mixed with wood and stone, and the mottled traces of time add to its ancient charm.

The corridor was wide enough for both carriages to run side by side, and the corridor continued to move forward, disappearing around the corner.

Beyond that, there is a bleak and empty autumn scene, standing halfway up the mountainside, the line of sight can be seen far, far away, until the limit of vision is exceeded.

A winding road is the path they came from.

Tsang explained:

"This is the famous 100-mile promenade in the mountain behind the school palace, and it has always been a tourist attraction for the students of the school palace.

The main entrance of the queen's mother when I picked up and dropped off for the first time attracted some onlookers, Yao Shanchang specially blocked this section of the corridor, no longer open to the outside world, as the place where we stopped by the carriage and horses, through this corridor can quickly arrive at the school palace. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the promenade and said, "This promenade circles this book mountain, and on that side is the remaining promenade that is still open for sightseeing, and from this end we can quickly reach the Xue Palace on foot." ”

Hearing that such a famous tourist attraction was assigned to Wan'er as a daily stop, and for this reason, a section was deliberately closed and not open to the outside world, His Majesty the Emperor did not delay the guilt of the students to enjoy the autumn scenery, but happily thought, although the pattern of the two of us is a little low, but there are always privileges.

Then, he looked at the small mountain in front of him and asked, "This mountain is called Book Mountain?"

Zeng Guopan said with a smile: "Yes, there is a sea of learning in front of it, when Emperor Taizong Shengzu demarcated this piece of Jianxue Palace, and said to the first mountain chief, 'There is a road to the book mountain, and there is no end to the sea of learning, I will give you a place to learn the palace, you go and toss it yourself, and you can play any tricks up to you." ’

In order to always remember the teachings of the Holy Ancestor, the first mountain chief named this mountain as a book mountain, and the giant lake in front of him as a sea of learning. Over the past thousands of years, under the painstaking efforts of countless capable people with lofty ideals, the school palace has finally created today's situation.

And the eight characters of "there is a road in the book mountain, and there is no end to the sea of learning" has also been enshrined as a guideline, engraved on the two huge stone pillars standing at the main gate of the school palace. ”

His Majesty the Emperor no longer complained about everything about Taizong's Holy Ancestor, but just listened quietly, with a faint smile, as if listening to a tour guide explain the historical and humanistic stories of a scenic spot.

Saying this, a few people had already walked a distance in the corridor, and he, the ladies and Zeng Guopan, and the other soldiers, who had left a few to take care of the carriage and horses, had also left from the other end of the corridor.

The two top eunuchs were also sent to hide in the shadows by him, and being so far behind them really affected the style of painting.

His Majesty the Emperor asked curiously: "What did you do after sending the Empress before, you can't just wait until the evening, right?"

"I let them go to play around the school palace, the school palace is big, it is a small kingdom with its own pattern, very distinctive, although they are close to the god capital, it is difficult to have the opportunity to come here to visit.

These are the guards of the Shendu, all of them are rotated, and many people have only heard of this close school palace in their lives but have never come to see it, so they just took the opportunity to play around.

The fiefdom of the school palace is not small, not only a place for teaching, but also for eating, drinking, and having fun. The end of this time will be soaked in the school palace every day, and I am also very familiar with this place, His Majesty will go out on patrol in micro-clothes, and the end will just accompany you everywhere. ”

Although you have impure intentions to burn the cold stove, this cold stove burns very happily, plus points!

Turning the hallway, my eyes lit up.

Looking into the distanceβ€”β€”

Climb high and look far away, the autumn is high and cool, and the field of vision is extremely broad.

In the sky, a huge lake with no view of the opposite shore, clear and waveless, in the morning light, like a huge emerald set in the crown of the earth.

There are a few small sandbanks in the lake, each with some different buildings, and sometimes small boats sail in and out.

There is a space of dozens of kilometers wide between the book mountain and the giant lake, and the two ends are extended along the lake to the far of the eye, there are wide streets, there are many shops, it is clearly an extremely prosperous giant city, and at this moment you can see a little pedestrians like ants shuttling back and forth in it.

Nearby, it is built around the mountain, with layers of buildings, there are mountain avenues, courtyards, high-rise buildings, and squares, which is a giant mountain city built around the book mountain.

In the mountain city, there are students, chariots and horses galloping along the road, there are sporadic students sitting alone and meditating, there are three or five students sitting in the shade of the trees and talking about the road, there are people who get up in the morning to form a team to boil up their bodies, practice martial arts, shout and practice, a group of hot blood, youthful enthusiasm and sunshine.

This vigorous scene instantly captured Xuanyuan Qiming's heart, and he found that he liked it at the first glance.

At the end of the corridor, there was a hut next to it, and at this moment, a young man ran out of the hut, looked at Yao Wan'er and said with a respectful smile, "Yao Jushi, you are here." ”

That demeanor, that title, is only available in the face of the Elder Venerable.

Then seeing that there were a few more people beside her today, he glanced at her suspiciously.

Wan'er said: "Xiao Luo, you are on duty today, these are all my friends, go and help me call Teach Zheng." ”

"Okay. The young man answered, and ran away as fast as he could.

Xuanyuan Qiming seemed to have discovered something interesting and stared at Wan'er.

"What are you looking at?" asked Yao Wan'er.

Xuanyuan Qiming said: "Yao Jushi, Xiao Ke has a question that I don't know whether to ask or not?"

"Say!" Yao Jushi glanced at him, as if to say, you kid is doing something strange again.

Wow, Wan'er, you've become a snake in this land!

is so bold and heroic, I don't see the gentle and graceful appearance in the palace at all, has it been a fake Wan'er that I have seen before?

"I don't know how old the layman is this year?" His Majesty the Emperor bowed his hand, and he was very pious in asking the Dao.

Yao Jushi's eyes stared at him for a long time.

His face was neither shy nor messy, and he said lightly: "This is a secret, you can't know it, and you are not allowed to inquire about it in the future." ”

Then he said to Xiuxiu and Qin Ke: "You must also keep this question secret, and you are not allowed to tell him!"

Qin Keren pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, Xiuxiu seemed to feel that it was a sense of mission to stand on the same front with her sister to fight against the emperor, and nodded heavily with a serious face. Finally, he turned his head and looked at His Majesty the Emperor with warning eyes, meaning, from now on, I will look at you!

Layman, hiding such an important secret from her husband, you dare to engage in such a blatant tandem, Wan'er, I misread you!

His Majesty the Emperor's heart rolled up, so it seems that Wan'er is even older than I thought?

The face is still beautiful, pink and tender, can it be judged as a twenty-eight beauty?

Joke, this is a prosperous world of martial arts, and it's normal for a Tianshan boy to pop up!

But why is it that when I think of Tianshan Tong's grandmother, I feel even more excited?
