"This, the governor of Pontus actually doesn't have much contact with Ling Mei, and he doesn't even talk much, how could such a thing happen?" Li Yuan smiled awkwardly.

"Well, who can say clearly about men and women? Don't forget, if you hadn't rescued in time at that time, my little sister would have gone to Huangquan with Zaixia! For her, your place in her heart, alas...... Maybe this is what the world calls bad fate! Peng Shiyu's expression was dark, just because he suddenly remembered his former wife Tian Siyang, how could he not be in love with her, but unfortunately in the end, he did not stab her to death with a knife. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel depressed.

"I'm sorry, Grand Duke. That's all for today's banquet, I'm a little sleepy and want to rest. After that, you and Han Shilang might as well spend a few more days in Xizhou City, and then tomorrow I will take you to visit the beautiful scenery of my Dongxi, and enjoy the great mountains and rivers. In short, the Metropolitan Governor must have drunk enough wine and enjoyed enough scenery before leaving......" Peng Shiyu was obviously exhausted, and raised his glass and shook his guilt.

Li Yuan turned his head to look at it, and saw that Han Xizai and the officials and generals on the opposite side were also drunk a lot, especially Han Xizai, who was already lying on the eucalyptus at this time, panting weakly, so he nodded and smiled: "Okay, then according to what Peng Guogong said!" That's the end of tonight. ”

Peng Shiyu then got up, beckoned a tall and sturdy man, and said to Li Yuan: "Governor Dadu, this is Zhu Ji, the guard general under him. He has been ordered to protect the Metropolitan Governor and Han Shilang, and the Metropolitan Governor has been living in this Assassin's Mansion for the past few days, but if he has any orders, just call him. In the land of my cave stream, most of the governors can go wherever they want, even if they want to enter my Peng Shiyu's bedroom, then it is okay. ”

Li Yuan smiled dumbly and said, "What did the Pondu Governor do in your bedroom?" Are you full? ”

Peng Shiyu laughed and took people back to the bedroom to rest. Li Yuan ordered his subordinates to help the drunk Han Xizai to take the first step, and then led everyone out of the table, and under the guidance of the guard general Zhu Ji, they went to the residence specially arranged for Li Yuan.

This is a luxurious and brand-new courtyard in the Xizhou Thorn Mansion, built completely in accordance with the architectural style of Jiangnan, Peng Shiyu has a heart in the end, it seems that it has only been completed recently, in order to prepare for Li Yuan's visit and live, to make Li Yuan feel at home.

But Li Yuan couldn't sleep, lying on the bed, his mind was turning over and over again, thinking about what Peng Shiyu said about Peng Qingying tonight. pondered again and again, and gave Li Yuan the feeling that he seemed to have become a negative man and ruined Peng Qingying's life.

The moonlight shone in through the window and shone on the bluestone floor of the room, shrouding everything around it in a hazy light veil mist. Li Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the scenery in the room, and turned his eyes to the wall, where a picture of the landscape of the south of the Yangtze River was hung, and the place where the pen was vigorously outlined was quite expressive.

Li Yuan reluctantly remembered what Peng Shiyu said, Peng Qingying ordered the painter to paint his own portrait, in Li Yuan's opinion, eating and laughing at the portrait is a proper mental disorder...... Thinking of this in the middle of the night, I was inexplicably a little creepy, but when I think about it, how can this so-called "mental disorder" not have a cause?

Could it be that this Peng Qingying really has love for herself? Lovesickness? But after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, because he really didn't see that Peng Qingying was interested in him.

When his thoughts were flying, Li Yuan sighed lightly, no matter what, since Peng Shiyu explained the truth to himself tonight, it seemed that he should not stay out of the matter. said that it had nothing to do with him, but in fact, he couldn't escape responsibility, and Dongxi had just surrendered, as a Shangguan, how could he really harm the sister of the Lord of Dongxi?

Even if Peng Shiyu didn't care about it, Li Yuan already had a looming pimple buried in his heart, which made people uncomfortable......

Li Yuan suddenly got up, neatly put on his robe, tied his hair in a bun and walked out of the door, and came to the corridor in the courtyard. I saw Lin Sichang, who was on vigil, and the Dongxi guard named Zhu Ji were sitting under the porch chatting and laughing quietly, and when they saw Li Yuan suddenly come out, they were both very surprised, and hurriedly got up and stood up.

"Governor, why are you up? Is there an emergency? Lin Sichang asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, it's just that I can't sleep after drinking too much, and I just want to go out for a walk." Li Yuan said with a yawn.

"Hehe, Governor, it's good to look at the moonlight, the moonlight in my Dongxi is very beautiful, why don't you ask someone to make some tea to quench your thirst?" Zhu Ji arched his hand and smiled.

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need, General Zhu, the governor of Pontus asked you, do you know where the little sister of the Peng family lives?" How far is it from Xizhou City? ”

Zhu Ji was stunned, and then replied: "It's on the bank of the river under the Wushan Mountain in the north of the city, and it's not far away." After leaving the city from the north gate, you will arrive at the mountain road for half an hour. The Metropolitan asked, "What is this?" ”

Li Yuan said: "Since it is not far away, can you ask General Zhu to lead the way, the governor of Pontus wants to visit." ”

Zhu Ji's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Visit Peng Guogong's little sister?" Do you want to go now? ”

Li Yuan nodded decisively and said, "Now." ”

The north of Xizhou city is the towering Wushan, more than 200 zhang high, converted to the modern height to calculate, the altitude is more than 800 meters, it is a veritable steep peak, the top of the mountain is often covered with clouds and mist, just like a fairyland on earth.

Of course, the harsh environment on the top of the mountain is uninhabitable, not even by the native Dongxi tribe. Most of the tribes live in dense forests from the mountainside to the bottom of the mountain. The further down you go, the more lush the forest becomes, with a dazzling array of flowers, trees, and rare birds and animals.

Peng Qingying lived in a riverside hut in a dense forest under Mt. Wu at this time, as the little sister of Peng Shiyu, the lord of Dongxi, of course, it was impossible to live with ordinary tribesmen, her residence was at the foot of the side peak of Mt. Wushan, Peng Shiyu gave enough personal protection to that piece of mountain forest along the river to ensure that Peng Qingying would not be disturbed.

Li Yuan thought of doing it, but Zhu Ji had no choice but to lead the way. After all, Li Yuan is a high-powered governor of Langzhou and the envoy of the Wuping Army, and the entire land of Dongxi is now his jurisdiction, not to mention that Peng Shiyu himself said that the entire Dongxi Governor Li can go wherever he wants, and the first guard of Zhuji District will dare to stop him.

The group hurriedly walked out of the north gate of Xizhou, and arrived at the foot of Wushan Mountain after a few miles, and walked along the open forest mountain road, winding all the way in the dense forest. The road was arduous and difficult to navigate, and it was late at night, and the horses walked very slowly. Between the dark mountains and forests, all kinds of strange sounds are terrifying. The sound of the birds and beasts passing through the forest sounded from time to time, and it seemed that there were countless watching eyes staring at this line of nocturnal people in the surrounding forests, which couldn't help but make people tremble.

Lin Sichang and Zhu Ji are both facing great enemies, and this governor is taking risks. Although the land of Dongxi has just settled down, the mountains and wilderness are all naturally created, and there are many unpredictable dangers lurking.

Fortunately, although it was pitch black in the surrounding forest, you could still clearly see the surrounding obstacles on the mountain path. After all, the moonlight shining from the trees was still very bright.

If it weren't for the moonlight, Zhu Ji would never have agreed to Li Yuan going up the mountain, and as a member of the Dongxi tribe, he lived in the mountains and forests until he became an adult, and he also recognized the strange sounds around him, and soon knew that those beasts were not enough to pose a threat, so he didn't need to worry too much.

After more than half an hour, everyone finally sweated profusely out of the dense forest, and suddenly became open in front of them, and looked up, the Ooshan Mountain looked down from the height like an unfathomable huge black barrier, but only at the foot of this mountain left a slightly gentle flat land, not far away this large flat place illuminated by the moonlight, the trees were sparse, full of flowers and plants, and the sound of flowing water could be heard in the distance.
