Chapter 860: Mota

The price is already very cheap, if you buy it in the capital, it will be at least a thousand taels of silver.

He Zao didn't have so much money with him, and immediately urged Ah Che: "Go back and get it!" ”

Ah Che looked at her helplessly.

It was as if He had done something wrong.

He Zao was very puzzled, so Ah Che asked the store to pack the things first, wait for the money to be brought by himself, and then dragged He Zao to the outside.

This time, they went straight outside the assembly, but not in the direction of home.

He Zao was surprised: "Aren't we going back?" ”

Ah Che glanced at her, beckoned a subordinate who followed him, and told him to go home and get the silver, and go to the fur shop just now to transport all the furs he bought.

Seeing the man walk away, Ah Che took He Zao's hand and walked forward without saying a word.

He Zao was a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but follow, and walked for a long time, until he came to a tower and did not stop.

This tower is called Mota, it is very famous in northern Xinjiang, so, even this state city is also named Mota City, the origin of Mota's name has a very interesting legend, legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there was a pair of lovers who fell in love here, but the identity difference was huge, the woman's parents did not agree, so the woman abandoned everything for this man, and was willing to elope with this man, but when guarding poverty to help men become famous, things changed. The two of them ran away without telling him, and the woman's reputation in the eyes of the world was already bad, and when she stood next to the man, someone always laughed at the man, and the man's political enemies always used this against him. After persisting for two years, the man finally couldn't hold on, and although he still loved her, he couldn't marry her fiwife. He told her that the elopement woman could not be a wife, but only a concubine, and that he would marry another daughter. At that time, there were many famous ladies who proposed marriage to this man, and so many virtuous and beautiful women were chosen by him, so the man told the woman that he would try his best to choose a wife with a gentle temperament who could accommodate a concubine.

The woman's heart was cut at the time, and she knew the pressure he was facing, so she smiled and blessed him, and the man finally chose a wife. On the day of marriage, the whole city was full of big red tents, and all the people poured out to visit the wedding, when the man rode a tall horse, and his bride was joyfully walking on the main street of the city of Mota, and was about to walk through Mota, but the woman who eloped was standing on Mota, where she had made love with the man, dressed in a big red wedding dress, jumped down.

Her body rested in front of his tall horse.

Blood stained the entire street.

Also stunned the groom and all the onlookers.

The man still loves the woman in his heart, and he repents that he killed the woman he loves because he covets fame and wealth, so he cries with the woman's corpse, and takes out his sword and kills himself on the woman.

Naturally, this marriage did not end, and the love between women and men spread throughout northern Xinjiang.

The man is a great general, and he has great merit for the people of the country and the dawn, and because of the tragic love between two people, the world calls the place where the woman was martyred and the place where the two people fell in love as Mota, and the word Mo is the woman's maiden name.

He had heard about this legend on his first day in Mota City.

Her reaction was to scoff. Feudal etiquette harms people, just because of secular views, this general buried his love with a woman, and indirectly killed two people. It's just a timid man who doesn't take responsibility.

However, obviously other people don't think like her, especially the woman who is good at grieving the autumn and the moon, they all hope that they can be as strong and sincere as this woman named Mo, and hope to find such a man who is willing to pay for his fame and fortune and life. So, Mota City is a place for young men and women to date.

During the Lantern Festival and the Spring Festival, it is very lively.

Even some ladies will come to the tower to burn incense and worship the Buddha, praying for a good son-in-law.

He Zao saw Ah Che bringing him here, so he glanced at him, but the other party's expression was very serious.

It's been closed for nearly a year, and the little men and women dating here are basically gone, only three or two people talking on the riverbank behind the tower.

Ah Che took He to Mota in the morning, layer after layer, a total of twelve floors.

Inside the top tower, the statue of the old moon is enshrined. On the red railing outside, small wooden signs with engraved words are hung with red head ropes. This is the place where people make their wishes.

He Zao vaguely understood what Ah Che was doing with her.

She was a little excited, and there was a faint incredulity.

Ah Che is actually a very unromantic person, she never thought that he would one day bring her to the old moon to tell each other his heartfelt feelings.

I guess I agreed to his proposal that day!

He Zao took a deep breath, and as Ah Che walked into the Yue Lao Temple, the two of them knelt down in front of Yue Lao, thinking that Ah Che would say something, but he just kowtowed respectfully three times and got up.

He Zao laughed at himself secretly, and also kowtowed three times and stood up with him.

Ah Che put on a stick of incense.

Then he pulled her out again.

Standing in front of the red railing, he looked at the densely hung wooden signs, and spoke, his voice was very steady, faint, and seemed to say casually: "Zao'er, I never believed in these things, especially the wooden signs hanging here, thinking that I could get what I wanted by making a wish sincerely!" ”

He Zao looked up at him, he still lowered his eyes, not looking at her: "From the moment I was poisoned by my father, I knew that if I wanted to do anything in this world, I had to put it into action, and it was impossible to succeed by relying on unrealistic fantasies!" So, I took over the blood red jade buckle in the queen mother's hand, which is the one hanging around your neck! ”

He Zao was slightly surprised that he never told him about this again.

Ah Che also turned his head to look at her, and something flashed in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I lied to you at the beginning, saying that it was my mother's relic!" ”

He Zao hurriedly shook her head, she had long known the importance of this jade buckle, and when Acheken gave it to herself as a gift, she already felt that the other party cared about her very much.

"I brought you here to tell you the truth I never told you!" Ah Che's voice was low, with a faint hint of depression: "Those secret guards were not established by the Queen Mother, but the real master is the former crown prince!" ”

He Zao's palms were a little sweaty.

"That was a hundred years ago, the emperor has changed four generations, after the former crown prince was killed and fled, he planted the soldiers who followed him loyally in the mountains, and then went to kidnap many women, and had children with the soldiers, so that generation after generation to cultivate hidden guards, in order to one day, can regain the throne!"

"How could that fall into the hands of the Queen Mother?" He Zao was very surprised.
