Qizhou, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, the Niuyang Mountains that cross the east and west and the Jiangxi Mountains that run through the north and south, staggered and stretched in the west of Qizhou, forming a lush forest mountain covering half of the territory, the middle is the vast basin where the state capital Hetai City is located, a tributary of the Green River passes through the city, and then to the east is the mountain woodland with a slightly slower terrain.

Qiqiao River winds a few times to the southeast, passes through the valley and the river loop, out of the boundary of Qizhou, it forms a spectacular waterfall "Dengtianqiao" that is about ten miles wide and about 100 zhang high, with the steep drop of the terrain, it is the flat and broad stone country.

From the north of the Shenguo into the Shiguo, along the edge of the "Qizhou Plateau", the Xuefang River in the north-south direction and the Qiqiao River converge here, forming a broad wave of "Tilting Yue Lake", named after a mountain tour who has come here to climb the bridge to view the lake, "the mountain is the peak of the world, the heart of the Yue Lake is parked", attracting countless celebrities and gentlemen to linger here.

Every spring, the rainbow scales that swim up from the prison sea and gather here jump out of the lake, scramble to try to swim across the bridge, and return to the stream of the Niuyang Mountains to lay eggs, tens of thousands of rainbow lights jump on the bridge, and the roar of the waterfall is in the ears, forming a unique scenery resort, making people feel admiration and magnanimity when they see it.

From the Tingyue Lake diverts out a bead-like ear ornament of the Huanglan River, along the remaining veins of the Jiangxi Mountains across the east, and the Green River is separated by hundreds of miles and runs in parallel, and finally passes through a red forest with a radius of hundreds of miles, and finally flows into the prison sea.

For the stone country that "presses" itself and can't raise its head in the topography, Qizhou has always been a thorn in the hearts of the emperors of the past dynasties, and Qizhou is rich in a variety of rare minerals, and there are many unborn treasures in the mountains, so it has been coveted by the stone country for a long time.

However, Zhenlei City and Zhensen City, which are located in the northeast and southwest of the Dengtian Bridge, are even more naked provocations to Shi Guo, as if they are guards on both sides of the gate, warning Shi Guo not to take a step beyond Lei Chi. Historically, since the Shi Kingdom, every time they touched the territory of the Jiang Kingdom, they would eventually be defeated in these two cities and return home.

Located in the north of Changzhou and Qizhou, and bordering the northwest of Shiguo, is the famous "wall grass" Shenguo. Every time Shi Guo invaded Jiang State, Shen Guo acted like a little brother, followed Shi Guo to harass Changzhou and Qizhou, and when the situation in Shi Guo was not good, after burning and looting, he immediately returned to the territory to ask for New Year's coins to show his submission, which really made Jiang Guo overwhelmed.

Shiguo's army entered Zhensen City one after another, and after a smooth handover that was relatively peaceful, Du Wei led a group of city defense troops to retreat to Jianpin City in despair.

If it weren't for the eldest prince, the king of Thailand, Jiang Quanyi, was personally sitting in Qizhou, and Shiguo was so arrogant that the soldiers would have either mutinied or returned to their hometowns.

Since the end of last year, after receiving several secret letters from his father and Jiang Quanliang, Jiang Quanyi himself has been very aggrieved, but there is no way, Gao Guo has already hit his family, and compared to Shi Guo, who is relatively peaceful, it may not be just an expedient measure.

Shi Guo's battle this time was more aggressive than all the intruders in history, and the 500,000 army Chen soldiers were eyeing the border, and in the face of the sudden situation, Jiang Quanyi obeyed his father's arrangement and could only choose appeasement and peace talks.

At that time, Shi Guo's request was very whimsical, Zhenlei City, Zhensen City and Jianpin City all wanted, Jiang Quanyi thought about it now, he couldn't help but laugh, his appetite was not small, if it wasn't for the danger in Gao Guo, I was really afraid of you Jiang Guo?

After several rounds of consultations, Jiang Quanyi has been procrastinating, saying that the exchange of letterheads is too time-consuming, and he can't use his own initiative to prevaricate the people of Shiguo, but in fact, he is waiting. With the resolution of the crisis in Andong City, Jiang Quanyi also became tougher, saying that he could only give up one city, otherwise the two sides would make an appointment for a time and place to start a war.

Maybe it's Shi Guo's side, and he has also received the news, and he is no longer as tense as before, from the beginning of the momentum to win the three cities, to as long as Zhenlei City and Zhensen City, especially for Zhenlei City, Shi Guo is bound to get it, and there is no room for negotiation. Jiang Quanyi said that Zhensen City can, but Zhenlei City has no need to talk, and the two sides continue to stalemate.

Later, as the news that the Butterfly Army ate the besieging armies of Wangshan City and Ninglin City, and then marched into the territory of Gaoguo to kill all sides, it also spread to the people of Shiguo, and the other party finally stopped holding on to it. In the end, it was agreed that as long as Zhensen City was borne, Zhenlei City would be abandoned, but the city must be renamed. It can be said that he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, agreed to Jiang Quanyi's plan, and then the army withdrew, leaving only 20,000 soldiers stationed in Zhensen City.

Jiang Quanyi couldn't help sneering in his heart, this hot potato, you Shiguo people really gave it to you for nothing? Zhenlei City gave it to you, and Shen Guoli should be together? Even if you help us defend the city, as long as you cut off the supply of food and grass to the bridge, if you want to get it back, you can't catch it, I'm afraid that we don't want it, and the soldiers trapped in the city don't agree, but take the initiative to give it back to us. As for the renaming of Zhenlei City, it's not simple, just hang a sign and fool those Shiguo people.

The people of Shiguo also know Jiang Quanyi's plan, it doesn't matter, there are not many others in Shiguo, there are more people, more food and more horses, as long as you take one city for nothing today, tomorrow it will be two cities, and the day after tomorrow it will be you a Qizhou. Just when the people of Shiguo were immersed in their dreams, following the treacherous celestial phenomenon of the solar eclipse after the three-day volley, Jiangxi Mountain had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Just in the Shiguo court quarreled, one side advocated taking advantage of the chaos in Jiangguo, while the iron was hot to continue to conquer Qizhou, the other side insisted on not being impatient, waiting for it to change slowly, Shiguo was in a sudden crisis, the barbarians on the eastern grassland could not bear a hundred years of bullets to raise troops to make a rebellion, and even a team turned around in Shiguo, and finally returned to the depths of the grassland safely.

Shi Guo had to suspend his plan to invade Qizhou, and first subdue a few barbarians on the grassland and then make a long-term plan.

Jiang Quanyi, who got the news, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't relax, and secretly prepared grain, grass and baggage, in preparation for another attack in the future Shi Kingdom.

Before the autumn, Baili Gong took dozens of young people in the clan to pass through Changzhou, walked through the Fenglin Pass, and after crossing the Niuyang Mountain, he finally arrived at Hetai City with a meal and camping all the way. Compared with Huanxin Town, Hetai City is very similar to its layout, all of which are a Yangtze River through the city, one east and one west are built in separate cities, but Hetai City is more than ten times larger than Huanxin Town, and the building is taller and more economical. Halfway up the mountain, the majestic buildings that have been built recently are the state capital, and they are also the residence of the great prince King Tai.

Baili Gong and others, after handing over the post, were quickly taken into the mansion by the housekeeper and met the king of Thailand, Jiang Quanyi. The eldest prince is tall and strong, compared to Jiang Quanliang's slightly weak posture, giving people a particularly burly sense of déjà vu, seeing the jade sheep waist card handed over by Baili Gong's hands, Jiang Quanyi rarely showed a smile, and immediately ordered the servants to settle down Baili Gong's people, and then only went to the council hall with him to ask about the situation south of Jiang Guo.

A few days ago, Jiang Quanyi just received a letterhead from Jiang Quanliang who went south to Bozhou, in which he simply explained the reason why he led the army to Andong City, and said that he missed his eldest brother as scheduled. Regarding Baili Gong and others, it is just to explain to the eldest brother, this person and his family can be entrusted with great responsibilities.

More than an hour later, 100 kilometers leaned over to retreat, Jiang Quanyi stood under the eaves outside the hall, overlooking the shadows of boats coming and going on the Qiqiao River, looking worried.

Thinking back to the words that Baili Gong experienced and heard just now, Gao Guo, Shi Guo, and Li Wang seem to be three swords hanging over Jiang Guo's head, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, and the latter is okay to say, it will not fall for the time being. Shi Guo will not make any more mess for the time being.

Jiang Quanyi turned around and looked at the remnants of Jiangxi Mountain in the southwest, Gao Guo's side had already stabbed Jiang Guo and pulled it back, but he had to stab the omen of a fatal wound again.

Jiang Quanliang gave him Baili of these clansmen, not only to send charcoal in the snow, but also to providence. On the side of Shiguo, he has been planning, sending some people who are familiar with officialdom and have inextricable connections with the rivers and lakes to slowly infiltrate the cities and counties of Shiguo, but because he has no time to cultivate talents who can satisfy him in all aspects. And the Baili family, who moved east from Yuezhou, is simply the best choice for one in a million.

A few days later, Jiang Quanyi specially secretly created a secret lottery similar to the Mao family, called Baifengtang, and granted the people of the Baili family privileges, and all the money and materials were satisfied, just to be responsible for collecting information from top to bottom of the Shi Kingdom, and he was directly responsible for it, and even paved the way for the counterattack on the Shi Kingdom in the future.

For this reason, the clansmen of Baili Gong, on the surface, built a mansion in Hetai City, with the mysterious identity of the gentry of other states, but in fact, behind the scenes, it was Jiang Quanyi's secret agency.

Soon, the Baili family, who had changed their identity again, mingled with the local forces, especially with the Thai Palace, getting closer and closer to envy others. Baili Gong wants to hide their identities through this kind of behavior that wants to cover up. As for whether King Li will find out here, after all, there is a slang saying "After the wind shower, the prince also trembles", that is, not only is the sky high and the emperor is far away, but the relationship is intertwined, but whenever a butterfly flies in, it can quickly be known by a family, as long as it does not damage the interests of the locals, as for your ancestor's surname Wang or surnamed Li, no one cares, but if someone dares to make a mistake, no one oppresses the township in their eyes, then they can't eat and go.

The folk customs of Qizhou, simply in two words, are "huddles". I never thought that this was the same as the rules of Baili Gong's previous "management" of Huanxin Town, to some extent, it was so similar, and it was really providential.

The conversation with Jiang Quanyi, except for the matter of chestnuts and Youyou, as well as Jiang Quanliang's deliberate confession, Baili Gong can say everything, and the establishment of Baifeng Pond and the sending of people under the fence naturally can't refuse. But he still made a request, which was also to take precautions for the revival of the Baili family, that is, to allow himself to control a continent in the stone country in the future, either openly or secretly.

After coming out of the newly built ancestral hall, Baili Gong thought back to that day, I don't know what the ancestors would think of his decision to break the ancestral precedent, Baili Gong's vision is more long-term, Huanxin Town, even if there is no intervention of King Li, but after all, it is adjacent to Bozhou, and there are variables like Gaoguo, especially after seeing the chestnut and the miracle of Youyou, so that he came up with the idea that the Baili family can no longer rest on its laurels as before, and when suddenly faced with a terrifying and powerful force, a day and night may usher in the disaster of annihilation.

Although Jiang Quanyi did not give Baili Gong a military order, Baili Gong still has his own plan, first within a year, the eyeliner can initially spread all over the ten states of Shiguo, and then strive to secretly control a well-functioning prefecture and county within three years, and finally around ten years, strive to completely break away from Jiang Quanyi's control, so that the Baili family can truly become the "king of the foreign surname" of Shiguo. The plan is not ambitious, and the gamble of Baili Gong is the time and people.

Soon, under the operation of Baili Gong, Qizhou caused a wave of "heroic voices", just because all the top brands in the Fengxiao Pavilion in the territory disappeared mysteriously overnight......

The sun had just risen, and two bear eagles flew together over the mountains of Jiangxi, looking for prey.

I saw that on the wide trail of the stone wall, four black dots were slowly moving northward, and the two bear eagles thought that they had just left the nest not long ago, and they could have a full meal, so they immediately lowered their height and swooped away, and after seeing the appearance of the four people, especially two of the adults, they couldn't help but be frightened and frightened out of a feather, and immediately flew away in a panic, and there was a faint pain in their backs while flying, and it was really unbearable to look back on the past.

Yoyo kept waving his hand and greeted the two old friends who flew away. It's too polite, why don't you come down and be stubborn for a while, it just so happens that Changyu and Tong Tong haven't ridden a big bird yet.

"When we got to the front, we jumped off the wall and went into the woods, just in time to catch those two little fools as helpers." ”

Chestnut and the two children, I don't know what Youyou is talking about, I saw her laughing very evilly, and she kept rubbing her hands.

Back in the woods, Yoyo couldn't help dancing in front, although the world is good and can't be greedy, it's still the most comfortable here.

Chestnut, has not returned to the dense Jiangxi mountain forest for almost a year, can't help but think of the scene when he first met Youyou, compared to that time, he now really understands and forgives the old and young "evil", if you can meet them again, Chestnut will definitely smile and show them the way, remind them that the forest is not safe, go home early.

Along the way, occasionally encountering bushes and hillsides that Changyu and Tongtong couldn't get over, Chestnut hugged the two of them, and then jumped on the trees all the way on his back.

It wasn't until the evening, following Youyou's guidance, that the few finally flew out of the forest, and found themselves in a valley full of huge rubble, and the trees in the valley kept burning but seemed to be inexhaustible, except for the continuous crackling sound.

Before entering the valley, Chestnut found that there seemed to be a bright fire emitting Lingqi in the valley, and when everyone came to the light source, it was still the same as the surroundings, nothing changed, but there was a strange smell in the air, just like the one in the blacksmith shop in the village when I was a child.

Yoyo shouted loudly: "Ah Guang, don't hide, otherwise, grandma will be angry." As soon as the words fell, in front of the chestnuts, at the root of a burning tree, suddenly drilled out a white mouse with a glow, more than three feet long, as if the size of half a pig, looked at Youyou with a frown, and then lowered his head, looking very scared and very shy.

Yoyo stretched out a finger and hooked it, and the white mouse came to Yoyo's feet with a sigh, and Yoyo said: "Come, let me introduce you, this is your grandfather, this is your little uncle, as for this one, you can call her grandma for the time being." The white mouse looked up at the chestnut, then at Changyu and Tong Tong, especially when he saw Tong Tong, he couldn't help but shudder, and then quickly lowered his head.

"Look at your cowardice, isn't it the last time I struck you with a pig-wool weaving cloth, and you will grow it in a few days, it's really stingy." When the white mouse heard this, he sighed, Auntie, how many days, it takes several years to grow, how many silver flowers did you suck hard to grow, but this has just recovered, and you are here again.

Yoyo he

Yoyo unscrewed the stopper, shook the bag, and didn't speak. The white rat poked his nose out of the hole, sniffed, and slowly crawled to Youyou's feet as if he was drunk. Yoyo turned around, and it followed.

"Want to drink?" Yoyo seduced.

The white rat immediately nodded like a rattle.

Youyou squatted down, touched the head of the white mouse, didn't tease it, just instructed: "You can only drink one sip, otherwise you will drink too much, don't blame me for dying." The white mouse nodded frantically.

He took out a wine cup, slowly poured a glass of rainbow oil, and put it into its mouth. The white mouse drank it dry, shivered all over, and the fire became more dazzling, and then curled up on the ground, slowly transforming into a little boy with long white hair and white skin.

Yoyo Hehe smiled and rubbed its head, "How can you thank me?" ”

The white mouse, trying to open his mouth to speak, may be the first time he spoke, not very neat, stammered: "Thank you, thank you, your grandmother, the ......" Youyou smashed it on the head without saying anything, and it sounded like a curse.

"Tong Tong, you can teach it to speak in the future." Yoyo turned around and grimaced at Tong Tong, who frowned and nodded.

"What about you, you will be called Zhuo Youguang in the future, how about this name?" Where did the white mouse know whether the name of the human race was good or bad, he just called it crazy, and then looked at Tong Tong and smiled awkwardly.

"Let's go, follow my grandparents to the mountains and rivers."

A group of five people continued to return to the woods the next day, and set off along Jiangxi Mountain to the northeast of Changzhou.

Along the way, Tong Tong asked Ah Guang to speak, and sometimes he couldn't say or didn't understand something, Ah Guang's language organization ability was poor, his vocabulary was still small, and he couldn't say it, but he gave Tong Tong anxious tears, every time at this time, Changyu laughed on the side, pointed to the two and said, one stupid and one pair, hahaha. Then the chestnut pulled his left ear, and pulled his right ear leisurely, telling him to hurry up and practice, and dare to laugh at others when he has time.

The days just passed day by day. Soon it was autumn, but fortunately, the weather was still not cool, and the eastern and central parts of Jiang Country seemed to be still in the middle of summer.

Out of Changzhou, when they were about to enter the boundary of Qizhou, Yoyo suddenly took the chestnuts and they walked south, walked for several days, went around and around to the two peaks, and suddenly became a flat colorful terraced field through the gap. Clouds drift between the two peaks, and a spring winds its way from the mountain into a pond, and the sun shines through the warm clouds that float and occasionally sprinkles on the fragrant flower fields.

Except for Changyu, who was so smoky by the fragrance of flowers that he was lying on the ground and falling asleep, the four of them were still standing. Youyou shouted: "Grandma, little concubine, my sister is here, and she still hasn't come out yet?" ”

With the jubilant cry of a horse, the clouds of the two peaks appeared colorful glazed colors, and suddenly rushed out a horse with two wings, light blue shiny fur, glazed mane, and colorful markings distributed on the body, and soon flew to Youyou's side, and the chin was intimate with Youyou.

"Okay, okay, I know you miss your sister, isn't my sister coming?" Yoyo took out the rainbow oil bag, not to pick the door like Ah Guang, but to let the horse drink.

After only half a bag, the horse was full of brilliance, and transformed into a young woman with a slender figure holding a blue-white flowing cloud bun, with green and soft veins. A woman named Ah Yu gave a blessing to several people.

Youyou remembered that Ah Yu was still naked, she immediately turned to look at the chestnut, the chestnut had already stretched out her hand, pointed not far away, and said in amazement: "Tong Tong, look, those two peaks are so high!" You turned her head and snorted, but when she looked at Ah Yan, a burst of ignorant fire suddenly rose. Oily cavity slippery tunes to death man.

"Auntie, a few years ago, didn't my sister promise you that she would come back to you to go out and be naughty, isn't this coming? In the future, you will be called Zhuo Youyu. Then he snatched the burden from Ah Guang's hand, took out a woven light yarn and put it on her, which was decent, and turned his head to look at the chestnuts, who had already held Changyu and went to see those colorful terraces.

Going down the mountain, Tong Tong accepted a student again, Ah Yu was obviously smarter than Ah Guang, and within two days, he basically touched the class, and some of the basic words were spoken very fluently and softly.

At night, with Ah Guang here, when a few people are not tired, they can still rush to the night road, and if they don't want to move during the day, everyone will chat together, or guide Changyu and Tong Tong to practice.

Changyu's size is also longer than last year, but it still doesn't grow as fast as Tong Tong, Tong Tong is now almost as tall as a chestnut's creaky nest, which makes Changyu very angry, and he always talks to Tong Tong when he has nothing to do on the road. In the past, Tong Tong was a stuffy gourd, and with the addition of Ah Guang and Ah Yu, he also became lively, especially after Ah Yu learned to speak, he often whispered in Tong Tong's ear, and then Tong Tong's mouth skills rose sharply, and Changyu, who was often dumbfounded, was speechless and willing to bow down.

For example, on this day, just after eating in the morning, Changyu held a branch in his mouth, and laughed at Tong Tong and Ah Guang's white hair, which was a long-lost grandfather and grandmother. Changyu was immediately deflated.

At this time, Changyu looked at the master with pleading and eager eyes, the master scratched his head, and looked at Youyou, and Youyou glanced at the chestnut, and then the chestnut could only say one sentence: "The sage ...... words" "Good men don't fight with women!" Immediately after Changyu also said loudly, this has become the master's mantra.

When you immediately entered the boundary of Qizhou, you told Ah Guang and Ah Yu, who had never seen the world, that you would soon see more and more human races going into the mountains to hunt, and your hair would turn black, especially Ah Guang, and the body should be astringent, stop glowing.

Tong Tong only listened to it occasionally, glanced at Ah Guang and Ah Yu, and naturally turned his hair black. At this time, it is rare to praise Tong Tong, and the children can be taught.
