Chapter Eighty-Seven: Yongzhou Mountain Road (2)
A breakfast, there was nothing special, but while everyone was chatting, Yue Wuxuan asked about the war at the border of Mengzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the same as Yue Yin, as soon as the word "Fan Cheng" is mentioned, the look on the faces of the Yue family is not natural! Shen Xian feels that no one in the world wants to hear his wife being bullied in public, and the person who can make this move must be ruthless, to a certain extent, this person is by no means ordinary, but he is a difficult character to deal with! Shen Xian also has no good impression of this kind of person, not that he does not like strategy and strategy, but "the disaster will not affect others" , Even if there is really a conspiracy and trickery, it will be recognized on his own, but even his wife, son and daughter, the practice will inevitably lose morality, and it will make people disgusted, it is really disdainful! Of course, Shen Xian also has selfish intentions in doing this, although he knows that he and Meng Bingxuan have no results, but his heart still can't be put down, especially Qin Ancheng is also involved in Zhang Tou, Zhou Lao and other mentors and friends he knows, so he took the opportunity to say that Yin Zilong is a hateful person, a despicable and shameless villain!
Yue Ying and Yue Yong heard this, filled with righteous indignation, Yue Ying is better, he still inherited Yue Wuxun's calmness and restraint, and has a bit of the demeanor of the head of the family, Yue Yong is not quite the same, he was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up, and repeatedly shouted viciously to lead the troops to smash the imperial capital of the Giant Thunder Kingdom, and ask Yin Zilong for the crime! He is more impulsive, it is said that this has been somewhat restrained, thanks to the princess of Jingwu Kingdom that Yue Yong married, Yue Yong has been much more stable over the years, if he heard Shen Xian's words in the early years, he would definitely even lift the table! At least in terms of etiquette, it can be regarded as a loss, but Yue Yong now has a family, and he will soon be a father, Yue Wuxuan didn't want to embarrass him, so he just said a few words to him and let him calm down outside the hall! Then Yue Yong's behavior was taken by Yue Wuyun as a negative teaching material and taught a lesson to the young Yue Hao, Yue Jie and others.
Yue Wuxuan also has his own plans in his heart, dealing with the invasion of the Southwest Wu Kingdom over the years, has caused a lot of wars in the Giant Thunder Country, and in his heart, he is not willing to make a bad deal with the Giant Thunder Country at this time, so far the two countries will start a war, and miss the opportunity to recuperate! Now that he knew that the whole thing was a conspiracy, he also wanted to take the opportunity to withdraw his troops and horses, but even if he told his subordinates the truth about this incident and then ordered the troops to retreat, not only could he not give General Fan Cheng and his subordinates an explanation, but even worse, it would completely arouse the army's hatred for the Giant Thunder Country, and perhaps the moment the truth was conveyed, it would be the beginning of the war between the two countries! Although in Shen Xian's eyes, telling the truth was only a very small matter, and it could be called "insignificant" But if it is placed above the military and politics, even a delicate feather can provoke a battle for the ages! Yue Wuxuan did not immediately agree to Shen Xian's withdrawal from the army at the table, he still needs to discuss with those close to him, so that the whole thing can have a satisfactory result!
Shen Xian thought that Yue Wuxuan acquiesced in his heart, so he didn't say anything. After breakfast, he was invited by Mrs. Yue to chat with Yue Yin in the small garden of the other courtyard. Before leaving, Yue Yin paid attention to Yue Wuxun's expression, and with her understanding of Yue Wuxun, she could guess that the matter of Mengzhou was not so simple!
Yue Wuxun passed on the discussion of the head of the army, and Shen Xian informed Mrs. Yue of the recent situation of A Jiao, these are all important news, only a few strokes have been bred! Only said that Mrs. Yue heard the sentence "There was a paper window flower, which was cut into a doll", she trembled, Shen Xian comforted, although I don't know what this remark is about, but the word "doll" is inseparable from A Jiao. He also informed Mrs. Yue of his intentions, and when he heard this, Mrs. Yue's face became a little calmer, and she only asked Shen Xian: "How old is that girl?"
Shen Xian replied: "It's more than ten years old!"
Mrs. Yue didn't say anything, but changed the topic and talked about Shen Xian and Yue Yin! Shen Xian was embarrassed to continue to talk about Ah Jiao, so he talked about his experience in the past few months with great interest, and he still didn't confide in Yue Yin about some of the secrets!
Without further ado, although there were some episodes on this day, it was still the same as before, and the entire Yue Mansion seemed warm and peaceful, which made Shen Xian have an attachment to this side of the mansion! At dinner, although Yue Wuxuan did not directly agree to withdraw from the army, it could be regarded as a promise to Shen Xian, and he would not fulfill Yin Zilong's wish and let the Yue family army be his pawn to help him seize the power of Mengzhou! Shen Xian has already had a matter on his mind, and he is in a much better mood, which can be regarded as an explanation to Meng Bingxuan!
During the banquet, Yue Wuxun asked Shen Xian about his future plans, Shen Xian thought that there was no news from Gui Wuyi's side, and now that such a period of time had passed, he didn't know if Liu Xiangru and the others had found Gui Wuyi! He was still very concerned about his cheap crazy uncle, especially after feeling the taste of "home", he was more concerned about Gui Wuyi, so he decided to set off early and go back to Haizhou, the Giant Thunder Country, to find it!
Since Shen Xian had such a plan, Yue Wuxun didn't need to say anything more. It was only when Shen Xian packed up his bags and set off the next day that he asked him to take care of Yue Yin! Shen Xian was obviously a little surprised, why should Yue Yin not stay at home, or go to the army to stay behind, how could he still follow him all over the world? Just when he was puzzled, Yue Wuxuan smiled faintly, and then he heard Yue Yin's shout: "Little turtle, what are you still grinding about, if you don't go on the road, we won't be able to catch up with Yongzhou!"
Shen Xian heard the sound and looked, only to see Yue Yin riding a white horse, waving to him on the hillside in the distance, and heard Yue Wuxun say lightly: "Daughter, it was born for someone else! Before waiting for his parents to ease his shock, he wants to follow Lang Jun away! Shen Xian, if you want to be idle in the future, and listen to someone else, don't give birth to a girl!" After that, he laughed, and then slapped the fast horse that Shen Xian was riding, and suddenly shouted! Before Shen Xian could react to what was going on, he had already left Blazing Yan City far away, and gradually approached Yue Yin!
Shen Xian went to Haizhou, the Giant Thunder Country, and did not have to follow the original route, from Wuzhou to the "Budu Pass" and return to Mengzhou, and then transfer to the Zhou Pass to reach Haizhou below Mengzhou! Yue Yin also knew that Shen Xian still had some friendship with Meng Bingxuan, but Shen Xian was unwilling to go back to see Meng Bingxuan's affection with the little prince! So she took the initiative to propose that she cross the "Mountain Road Pass" from Jingwu Guoyongzhou to Haizhou, the Giant Thunder Country!
Do you still remember that it was said earlier that Zongyun Mountain cut off the north and south of Shenwu and separated Jingwu from the Giant Thunder Kingdom, and there was only a gap between the road and the water! The gap on the road was naturally the "non-crossing pass" controlled by the Yue family in Wuzhou, and the gap on the water was the "mountain road pass" occupied by the Giant Thunder Country!
A big river originates from the Yongzhou mountain system, along the mountain of Zongyun Mountain, first flows from west to east, just crosses the border of the two countries, and then turns sharply, then zigzags from north to south, and flows into the sea at the first seaport of Haizhou in the giant thunder country - Nangang. This big river is the famous river transport and sea shipping channel, named "Tonghai River", connecting Jingwu and Julei country for water traffic, and at the same time it is the most important river in the giant thunder country, because there is a city in the place where it flows, which is the richest and most mixed city in the giant thunder country, the turbid sea city!
Although it is said that the mountain road pass is a water passage, but it is not all waterways, in the early years after the giant thunder country occupied this place, relying on the strong support of the Turbid Sea City, the mountain road pass was rebuilt, but it also cost manpower to open an extremely narrow road! As a checkpoint, the role of the mountain pass is not only to defend against foreign invasion! Because water transportation probably involves salt transportation, it is also suitable for all kinds of large-scale freight, especially to connect the canal to facilitate the city to and fro, and the giant thunder country is only this big river into the sea, so relative to its military status, the commercial status of Shandaoguan is more prominent!
Therefore, Shandaoguan also has a very loud name, "the richest pass in the world"!
Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "North Silver and Southern Merchants", "Northern Silver" refers to the silver number in the north, and in essence it is also a businessman, but it is a trade in gold and silver, and the amount is huge, and it is enough to eat and drink in a year for a silver number!
Most of them are extremely powerful and wealthy salt merchants, as well as private traders who sell weapons from Turbid Sea City to Jingwu State, and there are also some lawless traders who specialize in smuggling. Therefore, every year, only the tax revenue from the entry and exit of this mountain pass is worth the consumption of the entire royal family of the Giant Thunder Country for a year!
Shen Xian and Yue Yin rode horses, and after passing the "Sanzhou Pass", they quickly entered the Yongzhou territory. The mountain road is in the north of the east of Yongzhou, far from where the two of them are, according to the distance, it is impossible to reach it today!
At this moment, it was still early, Shen Xian and Yue Yin had been on the road for most of the day, and they were also a little tired! Especially Yue Yin, who had not fully recovered from her injuries, Shen Xian didn't want her to be overworked, so he rested with her on the side of the road and led the horse to rest under the tree.
The two didn't sit for a while, then they heard the sound of "clanging" wheels, and soon a convoy of five carriages passed by in front of them, and on one of the carriages, someone suddenly opened the curtain, and a very familiar face of Shen Xian faintly appeared!
Shen Xian saw that face, and before he could recover from his surprise, he heard a faint sound of "stop" from the carriage! Then the convoy slowly stopped, and a man and a woman walked down from the carriage! The man was handsome and tall, dressed in a black and white samurai robe, and his clothes were luxurious, and at a glance he knew that he was not an ordinary family, but where should he be the son! The woman Shen Xian recognized, even if she only showed one long sleeve, Shen Xian could definitely recognize her slender and elegant hand!
Just one glance, it is like a heart-to-heart connection, even if you have never seen her eyes, you can involuntarily feel familiar and affectionate!
Ling Yaoguang!
Shen Xian watched as the woman was helped down by the man and got out of the carriage, and he was surprised for some reason! The time he spent with Ling Yaoguang was extremely short, but the memories this woman gave him were longer than a lifetime! It was like a white mist rooted in his heart, faint and ethereal, but always lingering!
"I didn't expect to be able to meet my son here, I think you and I are really fate!" Before Shen Xian could say hello, Ling Yaoguang walked with the handsome man, and he opened his mouth first to catch up with Shen Xian!
"She still remembers me!" Shen Xian's heart was inevitably excited! No matter who it was, it was an indescribable beauty to be remembered by such a beautiful woman! Shen Xian originally thought that Ling Yaoguang would be as indifferent as Meng Bingxuan here, but he didn't know that Ling Yaoguang was not Meng Bingxuan after all, she could always give people some expectations from the bottom of her heart, as if she knew what others were thinking and deliberately tried to meet them!
Ling Yaoguang saw that Shen Xian didn't speak, but he didn't blame him for being rude, he just glanced at Yue Yin beside Shen Xian, and asked with a smile: "Why is Gongzi here, but he has healed Miss Yue Yin? I don't know where the two of you are going, can you walk with Yaoguang again?"
Shen Xian disturbed his head, and hurriedly gave Ling Yaoguang a salute, he said: "I'm tired and worried, I have already found the medicine king, and I also seek healing for Yue Yin! Now the two of us are going to Haizhou, the Giant Thunder Country, I don't know where the young lady is going?"
Ling Yaoguang glanced at the handsome man beside her, the two looked at each other and smiled, she turned her face and said, "The two of us are also going to the Giant Thunder Country, and we are about to pass through Haizhou, it seems that the four of us can be together for a short time!"
"Thank you Miss for the invitation!" Shen Xian was happy when he heard that he could walk with Ling Yaoguang, but Yue Yin beside him saw Shen Xian's eyes looking at Ling Yaoguang, and for some reason he didn't feel good in his heart. Just wanted to say something angry to Ling Yaoguang, but Shen Xian pulled his little hand, and suddenly felt happy in his heart, and unconsciously followed Shen Xian into Ling Yaoguang's carriage......
