Later, Long You, the centurion of the Hu'an Mountain Boat Master from the Dan tribe of Dadong in Longshui Gorge, went to the Tho clan of Longxikou in Danfushui several times and entered Longshui Gorge, wanting to complete the major event of returning the treasure map (treasure clothes) to the tribe, but all failed, and it is estimated that after the death of the master of the big cave, no one paid attention to this matter.

In the decades that followed, Long You consulted many people, but he was unable to decipher the meaning of the symbols on the treasure map.

After a lot of things, Long You gradually thought about it, thinking that the treasure map pointed to the treasure of the Yan tribe, and it was also the treasure of the Danfu Shuiba people, which could not rot in their own hands, and should be returned to them or their descendants.

However, Long You didn't come up with a good solution to this problem, but the smart woman thought of a "clever plan" for him.

According to the woman's "clever plan", Long You drew the text symbols on the treasure map one by one on a big stone at the intersection of the road near the residence, and let it out, saying that the engraved symbol was a treasure map. Long You wanted people to come and go, thinking it was strange, so he spread the word about it, and after the people of the Salt Tribe (the descendants of the Valley Mother of Dream Valley) heard about this strange thing, maybe someone would come to crack it, so that the priceless treasures of the city would return to their original owners and play their due role.

Around the Qing Dynasty, the locals built a large-scale temple called "Shilin Temple" in Dashiqing, where Longyou lived, which was a famous local cultural landscape.

To this day, on a stone wall in Dashiqing, there is still an inscription-style text, the font shape is strange, no one can read it, the local legend is called "Xuan Zhong Xuan" (unfortunately, because the font is too weird to write on the computer).

According to local legends, this is a treasure code, and some people have verified that it is the symbol on the treasure map of the salt tribe. Some people have further researched, to be precise, it is speculated that the "Xuanzhong Xuan" text that has been preserved today should be re-engraved by the descendants of the centurion Long You, the boat master of the Hu'anshan tribe of Pakistan.

The inscription of "Xuanzhongxuan" has been interpreted by countless people after more than 2,300 years, but no one has been able to decipher it accurately and completely. Interested wise people are invited to go to the Dashiqing Shilin Temple in Fenglai Township, Wulong District, Chongqing City, to crack it, and perhaps they can obtain a huge fortune of the Ba people back then.

That's for later.

Get back to business.

During the period when the beauty of Pakistan lived in a mountain village to recuperate, Qu Rong, the commander of the southeast war territory of the Chu army, was not having a good time.

The Chu army occupied the southeastern region of Pakistan, and the commander of the occupation army, Qu Rong, began to plan to expand to the Yelang region within a few years. He didn't know that some people couldn't get used to it.

In September of that year, that is, just over five months after the decisive battle of Hu'an Mountain, Jiang Yi, the minister of Chu, slandered the king of Chu: "Qu Rong took the land of the Hu'an Mountain of Ba State, lost thousands of troops, and damaged the famous generals Dou Ying, Zhao Yun, Bao Han and several generals, and ruined the major affairs of the country, and should be punished." ”

The king of Chu did not speak, and Jiang Yi retreated boredly.

In October of that year, Jiang Yi, the minister of Chu State, said to King Xuan of Chu again: "Qu Rong once said that the land of Bashu is a natural king, so he has repeatedly asked for Baba. Since the war, he has pretended to be benevolent and righteous, and has won people's hearts, and he is anti-minded. ”

The king of Chu said: "Who did you listen to?"

"Not by one person. Jiang Yi seemed to have conclusive evidence.

Subsequently, Jiang Yi listed several "criminal evidence" of Qu Rong to prove that what he said was true, and it seemed that everything was for the good of King Chu Xuan.

The king of Chu was furious and ordered Qu Rong to be arrested and returned to the capital and put in prison.

Yang Ming, a veteran general who once garrisoned Yicheng and captured one of the three major salt springs in Pakistan, heard that Qu Rong was arrested and asked to see the king of Chu.

After listening to Qu Rong's "crime", Yang Ming said: "Lao Chen has been fighting with the Ba people for many years, and he knows that the Ba people are brave and martial, and every Ba person is a hard bone.

"And the Hu'an Mountain Clan is the hardest bone in the southeast of Ba. In the Battle of Hu'an Mountain, although our army folded the three famous generals of Douying, Zhaoyun, and Nang, Pakistan also folded the five generals of Dou Menglong, Tutianqi, Fan Yuntong, Mu Mangzi, and Wucheng, plus the two famous generals of Eyue and Zheng Rong, which should be regarded as the losses of the two armies are roughly the same, or the losses of our army are slightly smaller.

"Qu Rong even took the three major tribes of the Ba Dong clan, the Youshui clan, and the Hu'an Shanzhu clan, and his merits were not insignificant, and his remarks were not clear, and he was imprisoned first, and it was difficult to convince everyone. If you don't have back pain when you stand and talk, my king should not believe it. ”

"The widow has solid evidence in his hands. You don't have to intercede for him!" the king of Chu said neither yin nor yang.

Yang Ming didn't know what evidence the king of Chu had, but he understood that the king reminded him that the porridge was cold, don't be nosy.

Yang Ming said no more and resigned.

More than two months later, Yang Ming resigned from his official position due to illness, sent his love to the landscape, taught the children to learn martial arts and the art of war, and lived six in eighty years, and died well.

Later, among Yangming's disciples, there was a famous figure in history, that is, Zhuang Ji, the great-grandson of his close friend Chu General Zhuang Fu, who was a generation of famous generals.

There is a legend that around 339-329 B.C. (some say a little later), the soldiers of King Chuwei pointed directly to the last salt spring in Ba - Wuxi Baoyuan Mountain Salt Spring, occupied the area of present-day Wuxi and Wushan, and placed it as the scope of Wu County.

During this period, the Chu general Zhuang Ji led a large army to take the fang (now Fuling), and to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to attack the capital of the country of Pakistan Jiangzhou, and turned into Danfushui (Wujiang) into the junction of the three provinces and cities of Guizhou, Hunan and Chongqing, because the Qin army blocked his way back, so he led his troops to Guizhou through the Pangu River (now Furong River), and finally entered Yunnan to become the king of Dian.

Without further ado, the book will return to business.

During the hesitation of the king of Chu about how to deal with Qu Rong, Yang Ran, a general who had been humiliated by Qu Rong during the battle of Longtan in the territory of the Youshui clan of Ba State the year before, secretly reported to the king of Chu that Qu Rong had fabricated the story of the Yongguo Tiger Fu (see Chapter 56 of this book "Leaving Home" for the previous matter), which was actually a crime of deception in order to fight for reuse.

Soon after, someone secretly reported to the king of Chu: Dafu Jing Ling (who was the supervisor of the Chu Army's Badongnan Theater) and other ministers of the DPRK and China were very close to Qu Rong, which seemed to be very abnormal.

The king of Chu finally no longer trusted Qu Rong, and took the excuse to reduce Qu Rong to his post and reinstate the famous general Zhuang as the commander of the southeastern occupation army of Ba. In less than two years, Zhuang Fu's old injury recurred, and he returned to the capital to recuperate, and died a few years later.

Qu Rong died of depression a few years after he was dismissed.

Later, some people believed that if Zhao Yun, a famous general of Chu State, had not died unjustly at the hands of the beautiful man of Pakistan, Zhao Yun would be the most likely to become the commander of the southeast occupation area of the Chu army after Zhuang Fu. If this is the case, the situation may change more favorably in the future, and the Qin people may not necessarily achieve the final victory in the battle for the southeast of Ba.

There are many similar things in the courts of various countries. When General Chu was in a bad mood, his old opponent Ba Yuanan was also in trouble.

It is impossible for a large area of the southeastern part of Pakistan to fall without an explanation.

After the loss of Yushui Salt Spring last year, the political enemies of Ba Yuan'an, the eighth prince, wanted to bring him down, but the monarch of Ba Yuan'an strongly supported Ba Yuan'an; this year, he lost the Hu'an Mountain tribe, causing the Chu army to approach the old capital of Fang, and Ba Yuan'an's political enemies tried to strike hard again, and the prince Ba Dong'an of course also wanted to take the opportunity to let his son, the famous general Ba Rui, replace Ba Yuan'an and lead the capital of Ba Yuan'an.

However, because of the Baohan battlefield personally commanded by the prince Ba Dong'an, the Pakistani army did not take advantage, and the prime minister still asked Ba Dongan to say that even if Ba Rui replaced Ba Yuan'an, under the overall situation of Chu being strong and weak, Ba Rui could not make a big difference in counterattacking the Chu army in the southeast of Badong, rather than this, it is better to let the eighth prince Ba Anyuan continue to defend the old capital, he will definitely do his best, because he can no longer afford to lose.

At the same time, Shangqing Xiangshang, Qing Eren, and others secretly pointed out another meaning to the lord of Pakistan: First, it is not appropriate for Padangan and his son to control the military power of the whole Pakistani country, and second, Pakistan can no longer withstand internal toss.

Ba Yuanan thus escaped. In this way, the other generals of the Zongdu Army were not implicated.

Before you know it, it's the end of the year.

One day, a young man returned home in Yanjiao Village, Hu'an Mountain, and was surprised to see Xiang Zhen and Tho Barbarian.

It turned out that this person was the grandson of the old lady who stayed in the village, only the grandparents and grandchildren depended on each other, and he was a warrior of the Hu'an Mountain Division, called "Little Sheep" - because after he was born, his mother had no milk, and he relied on a ewe's milk.

A few months ago, "Little Lamb" was seriously injured at the Longshui Dam, rescued by his companions, dragged into the woods, and recuperated in a small village in Wanfeng Village. Due to repeated injuries, I have only recently recovered, so I went home.

When the old lady saw her grandson return alive, she burst into tears, and only then did she know the true identities of Meng Mengyu, Ruyan, Pu Xuemei, and Xiang Yuehong, and was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that it is really a fairy who has come to our village!"

In the past few months, Ruyan and Pu Xuemei took care of her carefully and comforted her more, and her body gradually recovered.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

In the evening of this day, more than 30 men, women and children in Yanjiao Village celebrated the New Year together, sacrificed to their ancestors, and then ate meat and drank wine.

Everyone was happy, and Yu Mengyu, who hadn't smiled for a long time, was also happier than usual.

After a few rounds of drinking, Meng Mengyu smiled and said, "Yuehong, do you want a father?"

Xiang Yuehong said: "Why don't you want to." ”

Ruyan had already seen that Xiang Zhen was interested in Pu Xuemei, and when she heard Yu Mengyu's words, she immediately understood, and said: "That's good, Yuehong, in the future, you will no longer call Xiang Zhen uncle, call him father!"

Pu Xuemei understood the meaning of the dream language and smoke, and complained about the dream language: "You haven't drunk for a long time, you drink too much, and you talk drunk." ”

Xiang Zhen avoided the table and saluted to Pu Xuemei: "Yuehong is the third brother of my Xiang family, and I have only one junior now, and I have long regarded it as my own child. If my sister doesn't dislike it, I'm really willing to work with my sister to raise her together. ”

And they all applauded.

Pu Xuemei said that this was inappropriate, and said: "I am an ominous remnant, my parents, husband, and daughter are all dead, how dare I dislike my true brother." Besides, I'm older than you. ”

The old lady who had been staying in the village said: "In these years, people are like pigs and dogs, living one day at a time, how can there be those particulars, if not for anything else, just to have a mutual care." I think this is the best, choose an auspicious day, and you can make a gift. ”

The dream language, like smoke, urged Pu Xuemei to express her position quickly.

Pu Xuemei couldn't resist her two younger sisters, and finally nodded in response.

Thank you for being really busy. The people rejoiced.

Ruyan got up, poured a glass of wine for Xiang Zhen and Pu Xuemei, and said: "Today is an auspicious day, after drinking this wine, you will be husband and wife!"

The crowd laughed, stamped, and applauded.

After the newlyweds had drunk their wine, everyone got up and sang and danced around the fire.

They sang:

......

Bamboo cages, strings of roots,

By the fire, people were next to each other.

Winged birds, winged flying,

In the mandarin duck tent, it is knotted in pairs

......

Ba people are natural singers and dancers, and they are good at composing and changing the lyrics according to different environments and different situations, and dance can also be improvised. At this time, they sang a song similar to that of a haunted house, and then sang a song about saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Singing and dancing until late at night, except for the Hu'an Palace's Huben warrior Tho Manzi, the mountain warrior "Little Sheep" and the other two strong men, they were all drunk.
