Volume 1丨Jiang is the hometown of the Qing Dynasty Chapter 22: Thousands of Miles to Find Lang

Goose birds, every spring will not be far away tens of thousands of miles, from the Hanyuan continent, through the empty sea, and then fly a few islands, after a halfway rest, enter the sea to stop the ghost dwarf, continue along the high country all the way to the north, and finally land in the northwest of Jiang country in the state of Zhanzhou and the country of Hazel to inhabit and lay eggs, here is also one of the sources of the Green River.

At this time, the rainy season also ushered in the hazelnut country, which the world called "cursed", and many trees seemed to be reborn, and the gray mountains would be lush and vibrant. Many animals that feed on geese and birds have also begun to become active, and after less than two months of "hibernation", the Hazel people have come out of the earth and rode on the guinea beast to enter the hunting season.

The country of hazelnut, which originally belonged to the country of Jiang, was invaded by the people of the country of Hazel who came from nowhere a long time ago, these people are white and small, and the speed of reproduction and adulthood is extremely fast, and after each "hibernation", the population can almost double. And extremely bloodthirsty and brutal, as if other human races are not their own kind, often on the battlefield with a stump in their mouth, while cunning and fearless to kill the Quartet. Prisoners who were captured back to the tribe would be slaughtered as cattle after the sacrificial ceremony, disemboweled, and then feasted. Therefore, historically, Jiang Guo has always referred to the country of Hazel as a "thirst for disaster".

If someone can live over the continuous fork wind mountain in the north of the hazel country, you can reach the mysterious Hao Tang country, the south of the mountain is surrounded by the hazel country of the "subordinate country", to be precise, it is the place of exile where Jiang and Hao Tang use the "dry season" to deal with repeat offenders, there is no national organization and law here, it is completely a primitive society of the jungle, and it has also attracted a lot of rivers and lakes to gather here, and over time it has formed a special form of state, the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house tomorrow.

Along the fork wind mountain to the west, is the vassal Lao State of Hao Tang State, as a barrier to help Hao Tang State resist the "evil spirit", Hao Tang State will take the initiative to send a lot of "annual tribute" to Lao State every year, in addition to people, what to give as much as you want.

Laos people, it seems to be the hazel people born with mutual restraint, their clan lives in the hills and mid-mountain cliffs, dark skin is nearly a zhang tall, like to kill the hazel people for pleasure, but the population is not as rapid as the hazel people, it takes thirty years for adults to grow. The same thirst for killing, but full of curiosity about all kinds of new things, there was a prisoner who escaped from the country, when he was about to be killed and dismembered, just because a bronze mirror fell on his body, he was sent out of the country by the Lao people, which is also a strange story.

At the beginning of spring every year, it is the most headache for the pastor. If the Hazelnut Country is smooth this year, then the state will follow the peace and quiet, if the Hazel country is not beautiful, then the state will suffer, and at any time must deal with the white vast, resounding "pig cry" sound on the battlefield.

Therefore, the Si Tiantai of Cangyang City is too often, and every year before the end of the "hibernation" of the people of Zhenguo, an angel will be arranged to come to Huisai City, the capital of Zhanzhou, to observe the astrological signs, so as to prepare for the year.

On the night of the spring equinox, Cai Yongsong, the pastor of Zhanzhou, looked at the angel who walked off the rooftop with a solemn face, and he could only step forward with a hard face, and asked flatteringly the person who was actually three grades younger than him: "My lord, how is it?" ”

"The sun and the moon are edicted, and the water gathers in the wood. The roar is unbearable and abundant, and the diligent dragon lifts and Jingtai ......"

When Cai Zhoumu heard this, he secretly rejoiced, which shows that he doesn't have to work too hard this year, but the next words of the angel made him fall into an ice cave.

"This is the original celestial phenomenon, but, for some reason, suddenly variables, I will say it directly, Lord Zhou: the goose and the bird die and the plague star comes out, the black dust rolls up and the merchant is extinct, and the stars fall and the water is broken. Cai Zhoumu, that's all. "Anyway, the Heavenly Master will return to Cangyang City overnight, and he will never participate in the troubled waters here, and he can't delay for a moment to hurry back to Taichang, this year's Zhanzhou will not only not go well, but also extremely dangerous, I'm afraid that something big will happen.

"Huh? My lord, don't go, what I just said is good, how do you say let's go, you can explain it well...... Wow, dog thing,. ”

Cai Yongsong's eyes rolled, forget it, let's go home and lie down for a while, this wind blows, and the fat on my body has lost two catties.

After trembling down from the specially set rooftop, he got into the carriage and returned to the state capital with a nap, where the three eldest children and the youngest children were playing, and the lady with a big belly was just knitting needles and threads, smiling and looking at it without much discipline.

When the children saw that their father had returned, except for the youngest girl, the eldest son, who had reached adulthood, and the second son, who was about to be crowned, immediately stood aside honestly and leaned over to say goodbye.

The lady looked at the ugly face on her master's face, presumably because the divination result was not very good, and then immediately told the children to go and rest quickly so as not to get in the way.

Cai Yongsong came behind his wife, rubbed her shoulders, and complained: "Those dogs and things envy me for having nothing to do here, unlike Bozhou, which almost lost the three cities, Qizhou, where the situation is unknown, Rouzhou, where the prince is dominant, Changzhou and Renzhou, where the people are in turmoil at every turn, Yuezhou, which has good relations with the barbarians every day, Yizhou and Cizhou, which are eyebrow-eyed, and by the way, Xinzhou, who is eyeing me and wants to replace me. The whole fuck doesn't hurt when he stands and talks, who wants to come here to drink the wind and eat the soil, even if he comes to take care of me, Lao Tzu is still happy to live for the rest of his life. ”

Madame knew that the old man must be very confused now, so she changed the topic and asked, "I heard that the little prince's butterfly army has already hit Han Shuicheng?" ”

Cai Yongsong couldn't stand still, sat beside his wife with a snort, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said: "I heard the letter from the capital, but it is also covered by clouds and mountains, and the war over there is a bit treacherous, after all, it is more than a thousand miles away, and I have no one over there, who knows?" ”

"Aren't you very familiar with Yi Hou, I heard that his grandson is in Andong City, Bozhou, didn't you send a letter to ask?"

"I asked, I'm bored here all day long, can I not find something to do, but as a result, people didn't even reply."

"I've heard, there's something weird going on over there."

"Where did you hear that?"

"Then don't ask, alas, it's just a little palpitating in my heart, don't catch up with the bad time."

Cai Yongsong looked at his wife's belly, and he didn't know what to say, but I hope everything is safe and smooth.

"Grandpa, the little prince has written back to you." A young girl jumped into the inner hall and handed a letterhead to an old man with long gray hair who was in good spirits on the chair.

The old man opened the letter, took a quick look at it, and then looked at it again with disbelief and wide eyes.

"Nonsense! It's nonsense! The old man smashed the crutches in his hand, and his angry beard flew around.

"What's wrong, grandpa?" The girl immediately picked up the letter and read it.

Jiang Quanliang's gist in the letter, your family Yi Houpeng is reimbursing the country, and he is being accepted as the right-hand man of my butterfly army, and he has already made meritorious contributions in Gao Guo, and I believe that he will be able to return triumphantly and shine on Yi's lintel again.

The girl smiled and comforted the old man, "Grandpa, isn't this good?" When Dapeng was young, didn't you hope that he could make great achievements? ”

"Hmph, then I didn't let him run that far to pick up the knife, it's really ruined. Besides, what about the marriage between the two of you? ”

"It's okay grandpa, boy, there will always be a day when he grows up, and when he gets tired of playing, he will naturally come back, even if he doesn't marry me, I'm also your good granddaughter, hehe."

"Alas, it's all my fault, if I hadn't pushed him too quickly, he wouldn't have been able to run away in a bad mood, if you are wronged, if you want to blame you, blame grandpa."

The girl squatted beside the old man, held his hand and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?" It's that Dapeng doesn't like me, it's because I'm not good enough. ”

The old man kindly touched the girl's head and sighed repeatedly. And in the girl's heart, a bold idea was born at this time, looking for a thousand miles!

The next day, the housekeeper hurriedly found the old marquis and said Miss Mao, she, she ......

The old man asked, what the hell is wrong? The housekeeper said that there was one less horse in the family, and then handed the letter left by the girl to the old marquis, in the letter, Mao Shaojuan said that he was going to Gaoguo to find Yi Houpeng, and then tied him back, haha, grandpa rest assured, he will do what he says.

After reading the letter, the old man collapsed on the chair in a dejected manner, how can this be explained to General Mao in Cizhou?

The Yi family and the Mao family are both civil and military warriors at the beginning of the founding of the country, generations of hairpins, and the two families have formed a good relationship of eight worships from the beginning, if the heirs are all men, they will form brothers of the opposite sex, if there is a man and a woman, they will be married, and it will continue for hundreds of years, until there is such a disobedient descendant as Yi Houpeng.

Mao Shaojuan is the only daughter in the family, regarded as the pearl of the palm, before the age of five, her feet have not been touched by the mud, she can really be said to be a pampered princess who does not lose to the palace, and it is precisely this that Yi Houpeng can't look down on, and when he sees the naïve girl back, he scoffs at it and ridicules it. The girl never took it to heart, compared to the high-flying and domineering of other county lords, Mao Shaojuan was still very sensible, but Yi Houpeng formed a stereotype in his heart, and naturally stayed away from her.

The old marquis, after thinking for a long time, this matter could not be hidden, while sending someone to find it quickly, he hurriedly sent a letter to inform the Mao family, in case something happened, he was really dead, and the friendship between the two families for dozens of generations was about to be ruined in his own hands.

A few days later, Mao Fu happily slammed the letterhead on the table, his eyes widened angrily, he still spoiled this only daughter too much, and of course he couldn't get rid of the stinky boy of the Yi family, alas, Juan'er acted too recklessly.

After reading the letter, I wanted to personally lead the team north to Yizhou to dignitaries, but after thinking about it, it was too arrogant and unreasonable, after all, the two families still have such a friendship. Moreover, except for Yuezhou, the entry of his own army into Yizhou is indeed unjustifiable.

Calm down, so I called someone, after thinking about it, I still can't hand it over to those ordinary guards, Bozhou and Gaoguo in the south are at war, and the road is dangerous, so I decided to let the dark thunder of Maofu send someone to find Juan'er's whereabouts, and quickly contact the people who are staring at her in the dark.

After walking hundreds of miles in a row, Miss Mao confirmed that she should have thrown off the people arranged by her father to follow her, and at this time she got out of the merchant's carriage, gave a tip to the person who took the lead, and then waved her hand with the horse team that was going to continue to Yuezhou.

Now she was faced with two choices, either to continue on Cizhou and then turn southeast to Bozhou, or to the right to Xinzhou, where the capital is located, and then all the way south to Bozhou.

She smiled, her father would definitely not have thought that the lights would be dark, and he would return to Cizhou so grandiosely, after thinking about it, he was ready to return to the city just now, and after a good rest, he continued to hurry, sitting in the carriage, his butt was going to be upside down, to see if there was a chance, and then rubbing a wave of merchants to Cizhou, if not, he could only ride a horse by himself.

When I returned to the city, I found an inn, chose a wing room with the window open to the main street, and nested in it every day, observing the crowds coming and going. A few days later, she was caught by a team of horses going to Cizhou.

Hurriedly settled the account, and then found the boss of the team, soft grinding and hard bubbles, the other party just didn't agree, saying that they were just passing through Cizhou, and then they had to go to Bozhou to send official supplies, how could you bring a girl's family with you?

When Mao Shaojuan heard this, she returned to Bozhou, and immediately became more determined that she had to rub into this team. The boss looked at the ten coins of gold, pretended to be polite, and finally agreed to her, but told her that if there was any danger on the road, he would definitely not be able to take care of her, and then don't blame himself for not being emotional, Mao Shaojuan nodded frequently, and said Don't worry, I will definitely run faster than any of you. So, I finally got on the road.

According to what the boss said, the team would take a shortcut to Bozhou along the border of Cizhou, but a few days later, Mao Shaojuan found that it was obviously going in the direction of the state capital, and the speed of the team was getting faster and faster. Someone in the team said that on the border side, the mountains are often hit by mudslides caused by heavy rain at this time, so after the big guy discussed, he decided to be safe and walk along the post road, although it was delayed for a few days, but at least it was safe, and Mao Shaojuan didn't think much about it.

It wasn't until he entered Yunyang City, the capital of Cizhou, that the boss stood respectfully outside Mao Shaojuan's carriage and asked the eldest lady to go home, that Mao Shaojuan found out that she was a rabbit, or she had fallen into the trap of those dogs.

However, Mao Shaojuan didn't lose her temper, but stretched out her thumbs to everyone, high, really high, let you play this play, don't go to Fengxiao Pavilion to sing a few songs and bury it, and then strode towards the state capital.

Seeing the good daughter and the eldest lady come back safe and sound, the whole house was very happy, but since Mao Shaojuan came back, she didn't eat, drink or talk, and no one was good. Then the whole house went up and down, and immediately it turned cloudy.

"Husband, can't you watch Juan'er starve to death? It's been two days. A woman frowned and complained to Mao Fuxing.

"Well, forget it, let her make trouble. Someone, summon the envoys of the Dark Thunder Sign to see me. ”

The next day, Dark Ting signed the left and right envoys, led more than 100 people, wearing the guards of the mansion, and helplessly followed the eldest lady's buttocks to Bozhou. This is the first time they have seen the light of day to go out to run errands, and it can be seen how much the general dotes on this only daughter.

So in the next few days, everyone rushed towards Andong City in Bozhou non-stop, and when they entered the city, they didn't even alarm Situ Changqing, and when the city gate guards quickly passed him, there was a team of well-armed people who looked like Cizhou were out of the city, and Situ Changqing couldn't catch up.

At this time, Yi Houpeng, who was in Gao Guo, the little lover that Miss Mao had in her heart, was constantly coughing up blood, kneeling on the ground with a broken halberd, looking at the casualties around him blankly and helplessly, with despair in his eyes.
