Chapter Seventy-One: The Rainbow Tower Highlights the Mountains
"Excuse me, how to get to Pengjiabao?"
Asking for directions is actually skillful, not everyone will be kind enough to tell you the right way, it's okay to say that you don't know, and even worse are those who give you random directions. If you believe him, you will run.
Therefore, the target chosen is generally older and looks more kind. This middle-aged talent is good, and basically won't give you random directions.
After asking about the road, Xu Feilong felt that he could almost arrive, mainly because he wanted to get rid of this burden as soon as possible and do his own thing.
The official roads around Chang'an are still very good, and Pengjiabao is located in a ravine, and there is only one road to go. But even so, when Xu Feilong arrived at Pengjiabao, there was only starlight in the sky.
However, because the old lady Peng of Pengjiabao is about to celebrate her birthday, the lights have not been extinguished in the past few days, Xu Feilong went straight to the brightly lit place, and he would never go wrong.
Since it is called Pengjiabao, not to mention that everyone in this fort is surnamed Peng, at least it is the majority. I'm afraid the people in the fort are all related to each other. Xu Feilong saw an old man smoking dry tobacco on the side of the road, stopped the carriage and asked, "May I ask this old man, where is the family of the old lady Peng who has passed her birthday?"
"Young man, you're here to celebrate your birthday! You go to the fort, and the highest place in the fort is a row below. ”
I didn't think anything about this Pengjiabao when I looked at it from a distance, but when Xu Feilong got closer, I found that this Pengjiabao couldn't get it. It's just a separate fortress. Pengjiabao is built facing the southwest, the right is next to the mountain, the left side is facing the river, the whole Pengjiabao is built with high walls on all sides, there is only a stone road of two or three meters wide running through the top and bottom in front of the fort, there is also a gate in front of the fort, guarding the passage in and out, quite a "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open" trend.
The most amazing thing about Pengjiabao is that it is built on a mountain shaped like a snail, and the back of the mountain is a cliff that is dozens of meters high; The houses spiral from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are more than ten floors, and the Luoshan Mountain is properly integrated, and the lights are hung high at night, which sets off the heavy blue bricks, solid walls, continuous shapes, and extraordinary momentum in the fort to the fullest. Straight as, the rainbow tower is highlighted in the mountains, and the thousand-story hall is erected on the flat ground.
Seeing Xu Feilong suddenly stop moving, the little girl stuck her head out of the carriage, saw Xu Feilong's stunned appearance, pushed him and said, "Look stupid! No one in this place is not dumbfounded for the first time." ”
"This place is truly unique, okay! I'll send you there first. ”
When the carriage came to the fort gate, it was stopped.
"Who are you, what are you here for?" asked the guard at Pengjiabao
"I am sending Mrs. Peng's niece and granddaughter to pay homage to her birthday, please pass it on. ”
As soon as they heard that it was Mrs. Peng's niece and granddaughter, although these guards couldn't figure out why they didn't invite guards, they were a little polite.
"You wait first, I'll report. ”
Xu Feilong didn't wait long before he saw a middle-aged man come out with a few companions.
The man first took a closer look at Xu Feilong, and asked suspiciously: "I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, I'm Peng Gao." Where's my niece?"
Xu Feilong was just about to answer, when a figure got out of the carriage from his side.
"Uncle Cousin, I miss you so much!"
"You're really a girl! Let my cousin take a good look, well, I've grown up, and I'm beautiful. As he spoke, he took his niece to the middle of the companion to protect her, and then asked, "Baozhu, who is the person who sent you?"
He said that Liu Lao asked him to send me here, and I don't know him!"
Hearing his niece Baozhu say this, Peng Gao's already somewhat skeptical thoughts became firmer. So he said tentatively: "This friend, you don't seem to be from the Xue family, right?"
"I am not, I am just entrusted by men, loyal to people. Just send your old lady Peng's niece and granddaughter here. ”
"Then dare to ask, where is Liu Lao now?"
Listening to Peng Gao's tone, Xu Feilong couldn't guess that he was suspected by the other party of having ulterior motives. I am the eldest brother of Yunmo Shuangqi, and the guards of Liu Lao and your niece have been killed by horse bandits on the way, and I was only entrusted by the old man before he died, so I sent someone over. Now that the person has been delivered, let's say goodbye!"
only listened to Xu Feilong's one-sided words, and Peng Gao didn't know whether it was true or false, but he understood that Xu Feilong must not be allowed to leave like this. Otherwise, if what Xu Feilong said was true, then the benefactor who treated his niece like this would be ruined, and Peng Jiabao's reputation in the rivers and lakes would be ruined. And if the other party is telling a lie, he won't be able to make a big storm with just one person.
"The knight walks slowly, since he is my niece's benefactor, how can he go in a hurry and enter the castle quickly. Peng Gao waved his hand as he spoke, and shouted: "Peng Er, don't come over to drive the knight yet." Why are you stunned?"
Since he won't let him go, then Xu Feilong simply won't leave, and he hasn't taken the reward he said? With the other party's attitude, if he doesn't multiply it tenfold, Xu Feilong is embarrassed to say.
I didn't do anything wrong, so I naturally didn't panic in my heart, and I was not ambiguous immediately, and strode towards the castle under the guidance of Peng Gao.
While leading Xu Feilong and Peng Gao, he asked tentatively, "I don't know what to call a knight?"
"Just call me Xu Feilong. ”
"Xu Shaoxia just said that he was the eldest brother of Yunmo Shuangqi, and I have also heard of the name of Yunmo Shuangqi. I haven't heard that they worship the eldest brother!
"You don't know about this, but this is after saving your niece this morning. At that time, my two elder brothers were also there, but your niece was stupid by the ferocity of the horse bandits, and I sent her outside Chang'an City before she recovered. "There is nothing that Xu Feilong can't say about what he did. Naturally, there is no need to cover it up, and say it generously and let the other party check it out for themselves.
Listening to Xu Feilong's words, Peng Gao began to believe a little, after all, no one would say the kind of lie that is clear at a glance, is it the eldest brother of Yunmo Shuangqi who can find out at will, Xu Feilong doesn't look like a fool, even if he really lies, he can't tell this kind of lie.
"It seems that Xu Shaoxia has been running around for a day, so I won't ask more, find a place for you to rest first, and we'll talk tomorrow." ”
Saying that, Peng Gao pulled an accompaniment, and whispered in his ear: "Take him to the guest room to stay, and find a few people to take turns watching him by the way." Don't let him run around. Got it?"
He nodded his head to show understanding, and then said to Xu Feilong: "Please go this way." ”
Mrs. Peng's birthday room has already been packed up, just waiting for someone to move in. Xu Feilong glanced at the furnishings in the room, which was quite exquisite, and he didn't care about the people who were staring at him outside, poured some water, and wiped his face.
