Chapter 258: Red Sleeves
But the thought was fleeting, and Sun had a hard time grasping a useful clue.
The sun is high in the sky, enjoying the wonderful feeling of overlooking the earth, the Hetao area is irrigated by the Yan River, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the view from high above is excellent.
He looked to the left, and saw that on the east side of the majestic Flame City, there were several beautiful mountain peaks, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
"Which one is the Red Sleeve Mountain?" Lieyang scratched his head, he hadn't been here, so naturally he didn't know the specific address, so he found an opportunity to land in the mountains and forests east of Blaze City, "I have to find someone to ask." β
Returning to Yanguan today, the news must have spread widely, and Lieyang did not intend to hide his identity, so he wore black clothes and white fur and came to the small village on the north bank of the Yanhe River.
It's a hot summer, and the village is sparsely populated.
Many farmers get up early in the morning, starting at 4 a.m. and working tirefully into the morning. When the sun goes up, he goes home and rests. Until the afternoon is cool, then come out to farm until the evening.
Fortunately, there is always an old man who enjoys the shade under the eaves-
The sun was beside the road, and he saluted the old man and said, "Uncle, how do you go to the Red Sleeve Mountain?"
The old man squinted his eyes slightly, fiddling with the pu fan in his hand, and the riverside village was breezy and full of pleasant appearance. Hearing someone ask for directions, the old man yawned for a long time, and asked with sleepy eyes, "What kind of red mountain?"
"Red Sleeve Mountain. The sun was full of anticipation.
"Oh oh...... the old man sat up straight and wiped the from the corners of his eyes, "Red-sleeved Shanhao, uh...... Walk along the avenue to the east for three miles, and see the mountain gate with the red archway. β
Lieyang thanked the old man and was about to leave.
The old man shook his fan lightly and said: "Red Sleeve Mountain has been quite uneven recently, and the son has passed, so you must be more careful." β
"Thanks for the reminder. Lieyang thanked the old man for his kindness, and walked quickly to the east.
The village faces the north bank of the Yan River, and when you look south, you can clearly see the various fortifications of the river beach, as well as the flaming army in formation.
He was dressed in black and white fur, and walked along the inner avenue, and from time to time there was a military horse team whistling by.
The news of the return of the scorching sun is not a secret, but most of them are still sleeping in Yanguan's house, and no one would have thought that the scorching sun would appear here.
Therefore, he walked all the way without any obstacles, or some people looked at him curiously for a moment or two, most of them sighed secretly: "Tsk, what a handsome descendant!"
ββ
I didn't walk for long, and after a few forks in the road, I saw a red archway next to the road, and the ground was also paved with stone bricks that were easy to clean.
On the mountain gate, there are three big characters of "Red Sleeve Fang".
The visitors are not only the scorching sun, but also many **** Jianghu people - although the Yanhe stock is blocked, everyone shows their magic powers, and there is always a way to arrive.
But the reality is more embarrassing, and they were all rejected by the Red Sleeves Fang.
However, some of the people from the rivers and lakes gathered were idle, so they set up a camp at the foot of the Red Sleeve Mountain, and waited for the Red Sleeve Workshop to finish the inheritance ceremony of the new owner, and then they could enter the mountain as a merchant.
No matter how Red Sleeves Fang is, it will do business after all.
Lieyang pretended to be a passer-by, and asked for someone in the periphery, and learned that the old owner of the Red Sleeve Workshop had been dead for several months and had already held a funeral. As the successor of the old owner, Qiu Shaoyu not only has a true heritage, but also has the background of the Flame Army.
However, the situation has changed, and the Flame Army is tense and its troops are facing south, and it may become the most powerful rebel in the thousand-year-old history of the Chen Kingdom at any time!
Everyone did not deny the strength of the Flame Army, but the strength of the Chen Kingdom Imperial Family was undoubted. General Fei is very strong, but the royal family of Chen Kingdom has always been an invincible existence!
If the incident really developed to that point, Qiu Shaoyu was the master of the Red Sleeve Fang, wouldn't it make the Red Sleeve Fang implicated?
Moreover, the Red Sleeve Workshop has a long heritage and holds great wealth, which is said to have been coveted by the imperial court for a long time. If you can take the Red Sleeve Fang into your own possession and change it to a name like "Xuanxing Weaving Division", wouldn't it be beautiful?
The people in the Red Sleeves Workshop are not stupid, and everyone has nothing to say about Qiu Shaoyu's ability, but her identity has to be reconsidered.
"Hiss......" Lie Yang listened to the reason, took a breath of cold air, thanked the enthusiastic brother, and walked leisurely through the camp of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and came to the bottom of the Hongfang Mountain Gate.
There was only one way up the mountain, and four women in red dresses wearing charming veils were on duty at the bottom of the mountainβthese four people looked to be only in their twenties, but they were all powerhouses of the Earth Xuan Domain!
The status of the rivers and lakes of the Red Sleeve Workshop is quite special, and the doors are all women with good appearance and talent for cultivation, mainly teaching needlework and weaving techniques, and at the same time teaching a set of methods that are very suitable for women's practice.
Even if they are mediocre in talent, their cultivation progress will surpass that of most ordinary cultivators.
In this way, it is inevitable that there will be rumors on the rivers and lakes.
The coolest things in life -
Eat the dishes of Chenguo, drink the wine of Ningguo, live in the house of the Blue Wolf Country, and marry the wife of the Red Sleeve Fang!
But then again, due to the extremely high quality of the women in the Red Sleeves Workshop, after getting together, the heart is even more broken through the sky. There are also advocates of women's rights, who look down on men in the world.
Ordinary charlatans really can't hold it down. Having said that, as a general of Zhenbei, Gale Wind's status is extraordinary, and it is still very easy to marry a wife from the Red Sleeve Fang.
"This son-" Lieyang had just approached the mountain gate, and a woman in a red dress stepped forward, "The red-sleeved mountain is closed to thank the guests, and I ask for the child's understanding." β
Lieyang was dumbfounded in his heart: I didn't even say that I wanted to go in, is it appropriate for the young lady to refuse people thousands of miles away?
He looked calm, took out his identity card, and said calmly: "Other friends in the rivers and lakes may be considered guests, but I shouldn't be counted." β
"Hmm?" The young lady in the red dress was a head shorter than him, and her face was very cute, and she looked at the identity card handed to her, and her pretty face was instantly shocked.
In addition to the special number and the place name of Yanguan Town, the word "Lieyang" is clearly written on the identity card!
When the young lady in the red dress looked at the sun again, her expression had softened a lot, and she hurriedly bowed: "Little girl Luqi, meet General Long Xiang!"
The three people behind her also saluted in unison, and such a scene stunned the people in the rivers and lakes camped outside:
"What, what did I hear?"
"This young brother is General Long Xiang?"
"General Long Xiang, that's a four-rank general, right?
"Ma De is mentally retarded, General Long Xiang of our Chen Kingdom is Yanguan Lieyang, don't you say it's awesome?"
"I'm going to wipe it, he's the sun?"
When he hurriedly raised his eyes to look for it, he saw that the young brother in black clothes and white fur had already walked to the red-sleeved mountain under the guidance of the girl in the red dress, Lu Qi.
After some discussion, I learned that Qiu Shaoyu, the heir of the Red Sleeve Fang, was actually the wife of the general of Zhenbei, that is, Lieyang's mother.
No wonder he can enter, even if Qiu Shaoyu can't be the owner of the workshop because of an accident, Lieyang is not an outsider.
ββ
The mountain of the Red Sleeve Mountain is gentle, the scenery is beautiful, and the mood is very pleasant to walk on the neat and regular mountain road.
But Miss Luqi was preoccupied, and before she took a few steps, she said to Lieyang anxiously: "General Lie, Master, she ...... She's been under house arrest for days!"
Master?
It turns out that Miss Luqi is a personal disciple of Qiu Shaoyu!
β......β
He looked directly at the beautiful face of the green girl, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with my mother?"
Lu Qigu had no one left and right, so he hurriedly said: "After burying the old owner, due to the special background of the master and the different current situation, most of the elders in the workshop do not agree with the master becoming the new owner. β
"It's really hard to solve this matter. Lie Sun smiled bitterly.
Lu Qi continued: "Master is not greedy for the position of the owner, and agreed to give up the inheritance on the spot, and the current red-sleeved owner is the third uncle Zhang Meng, who is second only to the master in strength. β
"She ordered my mother to be placed under house arrest?" Lieyang was furious.
Lu Qi nodded and said: "After the third uncle succeeded to the position of the owner of the workshop, he asked the master to disclose the weaving method of Lie Yuan Jin, and the master said that 'Lie Yuan Jin' only teaches the children of the lineage, and the two sides disputed, so they were grounded by the master. β
"No wonder ......" Lie Yang roughly understood the ins and outs, and snorted, "Your third uncle is not right, my mother has already seen her methods, and retaining the weaving method of Lie Yuanjin is to leave a way back for you." β
Speaking of which, it's just a struggle for power and profit within the sect.
Lu Qi sighed: "Master is hardworking, how can I not know? The senior sisters of the original vein have been questioned by the owner one after another, coerced and enticed, and the situation is not optimistic. β
No one wants to speculate maliciously, but under heavy pressure, sooner or later someone will leak secrets.
And Zhang Meng intends to weaken the Qiu Shaoyu lineage, and use Lie Yuan Jin to strengthen the entire Red Sleeve Fang, which is justified! Most of the elders in the Fang will support her move.
And now there are restrictions on the Qiu Shao language, maybe it is also a retreat for the Red Sleeves after the defeat of the Flame Army!
"Heh......" Lie Yang sneered, "Can I think that Zhang Meng took advantage of the self-preservation psychology of the Red Sleeves Workshop to rob my mother of the position of the owner." Now you will take revenge and snatch the weaving method of Lie Yuan Jin?"
"......" Lu Qi felt the monstrous anger of the man beside him, and was a little scared for a while, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve, "Don't be anxious, the third uncle is actually ...... It's not that bad, it's just a little utilitarian. β
"Lao Tzu doesn't care if she's bad or not!" Lieyang's footsteps are getting faster and faster, who dares to bully his mother, he will definitely carry a knife, "Dare to put my mother under house arrest, what kind of thing is she?"
General Yanguan is a daily operation, Miss Luqi frowned, but she felt very relieved, thinking of the oppression suffered by the master and the senior sisters during this time, she suddenly didn't want to care about anything: "Young Master Lie, I'll take you to see the master!"
Lie Yang nodded subconsciously, but after not taking a few steps, he suddenly changed his mind.
A cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the beautiful woman in the red dress beside him: "Lu Qi, I don't think my mother is in any danger, it's only a matter of time before I see her-you take me to Zhang Meng first, Lao Tzu wants to see what kind of old witch she is, who dares to be so rude to my mother!"
