Chapter 2 In the first quarter, Luotuo Qishi came out of the mountain in secret

At sunset, a heavily covered black van drove to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The caravan came to a complete stop, the driver stepped out of the car and said softly, and saw the thick curtains opened, and a fat, pale man in black walked down holding the driver's shoulders, with no crown on his head, no jade on his body, and long hair Mustache, so simple that no identity can be seen.The man in black ordered in a low voice, and the driver drove the caravan to a willow forest opposite.Seeing that the door of the mansion was closed tightly at a glance, the man in black calmly walked over and knocked on the door gently.After three sounds, there were two clangs, creaks and twists, and the heavy wooden door latch opened, and a snow-white head protruded from the crack of the door, "Sir, who is it? The master doesn't see any visitors from the back door." The man in black didn't speak, just As soon as he opened his palms to the door, the snow-white head shrank back quickly. The man in black stepped across the threshold and passed the screen wall, but the white-headed old servant hurried over, "My lord, take a few steps slowly, and let the old man report to the Patriarch."

"No need." The man in black flicked his sleeves and walked around the screen wall. Passing through a bamboo forest and a water surface, a lush earth-rock rockery stretches in front of you.There is a thatched pavilion at the foot of the mountain. Under the pavilion, a person in red clothes and a high crown is drinking leisurely in the twilight.The man in black clasped his hands in the distance, "Swallows are in harmony with the wind, so trustworthy!" The red-clothed and crowned man under the pavilion laughed, "Meng Chunzhiyue, everything is in order, and An Guojun is alive?" The black-clothed man laughed: " Congratulations are due for the new Prime Minister's administration." The red-clothed and crowned man got up from his seat, swayed to the porch of the mao pavilion and cupped his hands, "Cai Ze is ashamed of not being able to do so before the new policy is announced." After saying that, he waved his hand, "Blanket. "The white-headed old servant who had rushed to the outside of the pavilion agreed, and then put a thick piece of felt on the stone plinth under the pavilion.The man in black said: "Thank you for taking good care of the prime minister." He sat down on the opposite stone bench. "Swallows sieve coarse holes, how can they be subtle?" The red-clothed man with the crown chuckled, "If Ying Hou hadn't explained it in many ways, how would Cai Ze know that An Guojun is afraid of the cold and avoids the heat?" The man in black sighed, "Ying It is a pity that Hou Liqin could not see him off!"

"When you meet such a person, An Guojun is sticking to the customs." Cai Ze smiled leisurely, "There is no one like Fan Juye who is a famous person and a maverick. The king's grace is not fading, but he strongly asks you to retire, and he left without saying goodbye. How free and easy! Back then, Ranghou was deposed from Qin, and the ten miles of chariots and horses were full of copper and stink. Compared with the hatchback, how different is it? Now I think about it. It's a pity, it's a wonder in the world. It's normal for this person to be sent or not to be sent off on this trip, Mr. An doesn't need to blame himself."

"Even so, my heart is still uneasy." An Guojun sighed but turned the subject, "When Ying Hou resigned from office, only the Prime Minister stayed with him for three days. I don't know how to teach me?" The expression was thickly piled on the face.Cai Ze couldn't help laughing and said, "Handing over state affairs with a strict eye, it's really indifferent and inappropriate to be noisy, how dare you speak out?" An Guojun cried out, "It's not because of Ying Zhu's strongman, it's because the prime minister doesn't know about it. No, the prime minister is a newcomer, and although I am the crown prince, I am out of state affairs, and so on, Yingzhu can't sleep and eat. I expected Yinghou to point out the wrong way, but I didn't want him to go alone." Cai Ze laughed loudly. Laughter: "What Mr. An is worried about is nothing! The king of Qin has a broad mind, so how can he never stop major events? Cai Zezong is a newcomer and has no prestige, and there are national laws behind him. Mr. An just needs to stabilize himself, so there is no need to worry about it."

"Dare to ask the Prime Minister what's the strategy?" Ying Zhu didn't feel the slightest sarcasm, but immediately followed up with the question. Cai Ze's eyes flashed, "Mr. An has a guilty conscience?" There was a moment of silence, An Guojun didn't know what to say.Establishing and abolishing the storage is the top secret of the state. Don't say that Cai Ze doesn't know about it, even if he knows, how can he openly explain it?There is another layer, Cai Ze is the new prime minister, and he himself is a prince and emperor. Although such secret visits are not illegal, they are greatly out of date, and it is even more taboo to talk about the secrets of the establishment of the reserve.Although Fan Ju left the Qin Dynasty, there is still a general rule in the world that "resignation does not leak to the country". If Cai Ze leaks Fan Ju's opinion as a state affairs accountant, wouldn't it be a kind of evil?Thinking clearly, An Guojun got up and said with a smile: "Trouble the Prime Minister, I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute." Cai Ze asked abruptly, "Among the sons and daughters of the gentlemen of An Guo?" "My first wife, Mrs. Huayang, has not given birth, and all twenty-three sons and thirteen daughters have come out." An Guojun, who had already walked down the corridor, sighed, and he was worried, "Two of them are considered capable: one can do it. The six Xi are hard-working and studious, capable of both civil and military affairs; one of the ten is different, smart since childhood, but it is a pity that they have been hostages in Zhao Guo." "Who did the two sons learn from?"

"The law of Qin is fixed: all the princes born from the concubine will be taught by Prince Fu." Cai Ze said with a smile: "I recommend someone, how about being the son Xi teacher?" "Good thing!" An Guojun suddenly lifted his spirits, "I don't know who the Prime Minister recommends?" "Shicang." "Hexi celebrity, think tank?" "Sicang's study, taking both French and Chinese ink into account, is exactly in line with Qin." An Guojun's pale face was flushed, and he couldn't help bowing deeply, "If the heirs are successful, the prime minister will be the benefactor." Cai Ze laughed loudly, "The act of recommending a teacher was originally not related to Cai. Ze Wushe." He took out a brass pipe from his big sleeve and handed it to Mr. An, said to put it away, then swayed and disappeared into the sunset bamboo forest.An Guojun suddenly smiled, put the brass pipe into his leather bag, strode out and whispered instructions to the driver, and the black van came rumbling towards Wangcheng.

The cold spring is still there, and the city of Xianyang is bleak in the twilight.The breeze crosses the street, the cars and horses are sparse, and even the Shangshangfang, which is full of lights at night, has become starry. , which shows the darkness and depth of this metropolis in Kansai.If it weren't for the brilliant lights of the royal city, no one would believe that this is the steamy and bustling Great Xianyang in the past. The black van drove all the way through the empty long street without encountering a single official car.Entering the royal city, the carriage and horse farm is also empty. Under the bright lights, it is so quiet that it seems to have entered an extraterrestrial canyon.The wooden gate of the black caravan slammed down, and the echo resounded throughout the royal city, causing the CRRC official in the stone house beside the field to trot over in panic, and shouted from afar, "Non-official vehicles are not allowed to enter the royal city! Don't you know the law?" An Guojun smiled leisurely, "I don't have long eyes and complain that people don't know the law, but I'm a good deacon." The CRRC official who had already run to him bowed quickly, "I didn't expect that there was a car at this moment, and I was so panicked that I didn't recognize it. An Guojun, my lord should not offend a petty official." An Guojun nodded, "Needless to say, you go to inspect the car." Turning around, he hurriedly stepped on the thirty-six steps in front of the palace.

Except for the desolation and loneliness, everything in the palace is as usual. There are two six-foot-high bronze lanterns standing at every corner, four soldiers with swords standing erectly at each gate, and a deadpan guard at each entrance. old servant.After a few turns, Mr. An came to the long corridor leading to the royal study. From a distance, he saw the old servant standing in the corridor flashing into the study. When he calmly came to the door, the old servant came out just in time, cupped his hands and said in a low voice. : "My king is sleeping at night, please wait a moment, Mr. An."

Ying Zhu sighed softly, and started walking around the corridor.In the past, when courtiers came to visit, as long as they entered the corridor of the study, the old servant would call for registration from afar.As long as there is no special prohibition in advance, the courtiers can go straight in to discuss matters with just this call.This was originally a rule established by the father during the Changping War. The purpose is only six words, "abolish redundant etiquette, improve the timeliness", in order to deal with urgent state affairs as quickly as possible.In the past six years, this shortcut rule of emphasizing practical results has disappeared at some point.Thinking about it carefully, the father is indeed old.A sixty-six-year-old man who is almost seventy-six years old, even if he is ambitious in the world, it is difficult to support him.Bai Qi died, Fan Ju resigned, Wang He and Wang Ling twice attacked Zhao and was defeated, the six kingdoms reunited and reunited, and Qin fell into isolation again.In just six years, the situation changed suddenly, and Qin State unexpectedly fell from the peak to the trough.In the face of the ensuing crises, it is not easy for the father to survive, so what else can he do?In recent years, father Wang Rimu has been confused, and he wakes up for a while, and can't sleep all night.Therefore, there is a new rule of "doing nothing at night" and "clothes and food" coexist: at dusk and at night, the palace is the quietest; At the end of the fourth watch and the beginning of the fifth watch, the study room in the palace was always brightly lit; the next morning, the father slept soundly again, until after Zhuo noon.In this way, there are only two periods of time to see the father to do business: more than one hour in the afternoon and more than three hours in the middle of the night.Mr. An Guo has a secret, this time he just wanted to tell his father alone, so he came to try his luck at sunset, hoping that his father would not go to bed at night, but if he didn't want to, it was still the same, so he had to wait patiently.

"The light is on. An Guojun can come in." The old servant walked over lightly and said in a low voice. King Qin Zhao woke up suddenly, and the maid had already lit four copper lamps and brought a large copper basin of clear water.After wiping with a cold cloth face towel for a while, King Qin Zhao woke up immediately, and wandered around on the thick carpet.This is his routine after going to bed at night. It may be long or short for a while, and when the bleary state is gone, he will lie down at the desk and work all night. "My son Yingzhu, I have met my father." An Guojun bowed deeply respectfully. "Heh, Zhu'er, come in." King Qin Zhao walked around and pointed to the table, "Speak up if you have something to do." Ying Zhu knew that his father hated vain nature, so he just stood respectfully and said straightforwardly, "Ying Zhu's concubine has a son and a stranger, and he has been a hostage in Zhao State for thirteen years, and he asked a merchant to bring back a feather letter He said that he was neglected by the Zhao State in Handan, and his livelihood was difficult. Please call him back to the country; "The stranger is your son?" Qin Zhaowang's hoarse voice showed a hint of surprise. The pale lips twitched suddenly, and Ying Zhu quickly calmed down, still maintaining a calm and straightforward tone of state affairs, "The foreigner was born to Xia Ji, my concubine. After giving birth to the foreigner, Xia Ji fell ill and died. Thirteen Years ago, the Yiren was ordered by the Queen Mother Xuan as a hostage to Zhao, and he is twenty-eight years old this year." "Businessman's letter? Where's the servant of the stranger?" King Qin Zhao asked abruptly. Ying Zhu didn't speak, just lowered his head silently.The father and grandmother have been hostages together for more than ten years, so why should he say how difficult the hostages are?But not to say it is the best reminder to the father.Sure enough, at this moment, King Qin Zhao shook his head and muttered something in a low voice, then turned his head and shouted, "It's hard to be a hostage! Hand over the letter from a different person to the Pedestrian Office, and discuss with the Shaonei Office for disposal. The daughter of a thousand gold Counting, I'm afraid it's hard to do." With a cough, the old voice was obviously stagnant.Ying Zhu's heart felt sour, and he couldn't help saying the old Qin people's oath, "Join the old Qin, and go to the country together! Life is hard, and it is also an experience for the prince. Father, there is no need to be sad." His eyes flashed under the two white eyebrows, Qin Zhaowang's face A smile suddenly appeared on the screen, "The children of the royal family are so extravagant. It is rare for you to be sympathetic to the plight of the country. But you said, can the stranger be recalled?" "cannot." "Why?" "Qin and Zhao are trapped, and Han Tie is in a stalemate. If the other is not an enemy, I will not break the face." "Okay!" King Qin Zhao gave his son a rare admiration, and sat down easily in front of the large desk. Deciding whether someone else will stay or not is better than facing adversity. To be honest, my father didn't think of it." "My father encourages me, and my ministers dare not slack off!" Ying Zhu immediately became energetic. "In my spare time that day, I'll go see my grandsons." King Qin Zhao smiled kindly.Suddenly, Ying Zhu's heart became hot, and he was about to say thank you, but he heard light footsteps outside the study room. Two servants had already brought in a large case of official documents, so he suppressed his impulse and only bowed deeply. He wanted to say goodbye, but he saw his father beckoning suddenly, and then strode to the desk and bent down. "Is your illness getting better?" Qin Zhaowang asked softly and casually. "Report to my father, my son and minister are not seriously ill at all, but yin deficiency and chills. After a year of treatment with Bian Que's disciple's strange medicine, he has improved greatly and is almost cured." Although Ying Zhu's voice was low, his face was flushed. "Okay, you can go." Qin Zhaowang had already lifted the copper pipe in his hand while speaking. Returning to the mansion in a hurry, Ying Zhu was so excited that his heart was beating wildly. He didn't even enter the evening soup accidentally. He walked into the willow forest by the pool and wandered aimlessly for half an hour. Only when he gradually calmed down, he ordered the guards to find the young master Xi. say.After a cup of tea, a wind lantern floated towards the stone pavilion from a distance, and with quick steps, supporting a handsome figure, it was already under the pillars outside the pavilion. "Stay at the intersection, and no one comes over." Ying Zhu whispered to the guards, and then waved to the figure under the lamp, "Turn off the wind lamp, come in and talk." The Ying Ting figure said "Hi!" With one breath, Ka Ka stepped into the stone pavilion in two big steps.In the dark night, the murmurs were lost in the spring breeze that filled the sky and the earth. In the early morning of the next day, a group of knights surrounded a black caravan and left the north gate of Xianyang, turned over Beiban and headed straight for the northern mountain plateau.This mountain plateau is located in the north of Guanzhong Plain and in the south of the Hexi Plateau. Although there are no steep peaks, it is a land plateau with continuous forests and barren trees.At the beginning of spring, the grass and trees were about to grow, the ravines were pale and bleak, and there was no official road in this barren mountain, so the horses and horses could only trek along the irregular business travel orion trails.After three days like this, there was a sudden green hill in front of them, and the knights behind the black caravan suddenly burst into cheers. "Father Jun, Qiaoshan is here!" The handsome knight who followed the carriage got off his horse and lifted the curtain of the carriage. "Okay. Get out of the car." As soon as the voice in the caravan fell, a robust young servant jumped out of the car first, then turned around and carried a fat man in black on his back.The handsome knight had already placed a thick blanket under a big pine tree, and the young servant gently put the man in black down against the pine tree, then turned around and quickly took a leather bag from the caravan, and offered it to the copper bowl in the knight's hand. Filled a bowl of water.The knight fed water, the young servant beat his back, and after a while of busy work, the man in black's pale and swollen face flushed, he opened his eyes and let out a long sigh, "Hey, this is Qiaoshan?" The handsome knight smiled. "That's right! I've been to Qiaoshan many times while waiting for my brother to hunt." The man in black said with a stern face, "Is the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum a place for hunting?" He has always only hunted outside Qiaoshan Mountain, and has never entered Qiaoshan Pines and Bolins.” The man in black nodded and said, “People from Qin protect Huangling, and people from Yue protect Yuling. Helping the young servant to stand up, he took out a piece of folded parchment from his arms and shook it out, "Look at this picture, can you find it?" The knight took the parchment picture and looked at it for a moment: "Look at the terrain on the picture, this The location is behind the Yellow Mausoleum, Jushui River Valley. Although my child has never been there, I know about it." The man in black said, "That's good. Tell the chariot and horsemen to camp here, and you will follow me into the mountain." The knight He said urgently: "Your father is too weak to trek, it's better to go into the mountains with horses and horses." The man in black's face sank, "Xi'er, you have reached the age of crowning, don't you know the rules of visiting talents and seeking teachers?" The knight blushed. With a bowed face, "Yes! I know my mistake." Turning around and whipping his horsewhip, "The chariots and horsemen are waiting here to build a meal, patrol and wait!" Everyone accepted the order, and began to busy camp.As soon as the knight turned around, he saw that his father was already striding away, so he quickly caught up with him and opened the way into the mountain. "Father, it's really weird for Shicang to dare to live in Qiaoshan." The knight said as he walked. "Fortunately, I didn't break the law." The man in black waved his hand, "Let's talk to someone first." "That's right. Father-in-law comes with me." The knight tapped the withered yellow thatch with his long sword, and walked around along the foot of the mountain. This bridge mountain is a wonder in the world.The root of the wonder lies in the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, the God of China, here.Since the emperor was buried in Qiaoshan, Qiaoshan has become Qiaoling, which is also called Huangling by Qin people.Originally speaking, Qiaoshan is just an ordinary earth mountain on the Hexi plateau with many ravines. Like the surrounding mountain plateaus, there are only miscellaneous trees and weeds, and every autumn it is withered, bleak and pale yellow.But ever since the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor was built, thousands of evergreen pines and cypresses have grown on this mountain, which has covered the mountain with a radius of more than ten miles.For more than a thousand years, the pines and cypresses all over the mountain are towering and embracing, and the branches are entangled. The entire Qiaoshan Mountain is tightly covered by green pines and cypresses.But there is a mountain wind passing by, and the pine waves all over the mountain are surging like a raging tide. It is heard that a hundred miles away, the rich rosin will permeate the entire Hexi Plateau with the mighty wind. Since the Qin people became the founding princes of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and entered Guanzhong, Qiaoshan Huangling has become a holy place for the Qin people to worship.According to Chinese legends, the Yellow Emperor was born in Xuanyuan Valley in Shangyu.Xuanyuan is also the tortoise, the god of Xuanwu, the god of the West, and the root of the four spirits.This land of Shangyu is located in the western part of China, and it is precisely the foundation of the old Qin tribe's existence before the founding of the country.This Xuanyuan Valley, this Xuanwu Sky Tortoise, and this Western God are all the gods who protected the old Qin people when they were struggling to stand on their own in the siege of Western nomadic tribes.Although the Yellow Emperor was not the direct ancestor of the Qin people, the Qin people survived and grew up in the place where the Yellow Emperor was based.Only in this way, the admiration and worship of the Yellow Emperor by the Qin people is as high as that of their immediate ancestors.In addition to the footprints and incense of the sacrificial priests, the Qin law forbade the peasant hunters to live ten miles away from Qiaoshan.The people of Qin are still black, and its first root is the worship of the God of Xuanwu, the Yellow Emperor, and later it is the water morality argument of the Yin-Yang School. There are people living in seclusion in such a holy mountain and holy mausoleum. How can the visitors not be uneasy? "Father Jun, look!" The fat man in black followed the knight's point of view and saw a waterfall hanging from the opposite mountain down the river valley, a wisp of cooking smoke curled up from the pale yellow grass and trees, and a thatched hut was faintly visible.Looking at it for a while, the man in black said with a smile: "There are mountains full of pines and cypresses in front, and there are waterfalls in the Milky Way in the back. There are clear streams under the feet, and bamboos and forests on the left and right. It's a good place!" He took off his leather boots and cloth socks, rolled them up The hem of the robe and trousers said to go, and strode into the river.The knight shouted, "Father, wait a minute, I'll carry you through the water!" He hurried to catch up, but seeing that his father didn't look back, he stopped talking and just rushed to the front to wade into the water. In spring, the river was dry and the water flow was clear and shallow. It didn't take a while for the two of them to wade to the opposite bank.The smoke from the huts at the waterfall is gone, only the sound of the water is like thunder, but the bamboo forest in front of you is swaying all over the mountain, echoing the thousands of pines and cypresses on the bridge mountain on the opposite bank.The man in black didn't adjust his clothes, so he climbed up the bamboo forest hillside barefoot.About to reach the middle of the mountain, the knight stopped suddenly, "Father, listen up!" There is a long chanting from the mountain, but it is broken and continuous in the faint thunder, "...the great transformation of the ancients is born with the invisible. Instead, observe the past and experience the past. Instead, know the past and restore it." To know the present. Instead, to know the enemy, and to know oneself again. The principle of movement, stillness, falsehood and reality is not in line with the past, and seeks it from the past. If things are reversed, they can be restored, and people’s intentions must be observed... If there is any discrepancy in words, On the contrary, if you ask for it, its response will come out. Words have images, and things can be compared... The image is similar to the thing, and the comparison is compared to the words. Seeking sound from the invisible, the words are suitable for the matter, and the truth is also..." "What are you talking about?" The knight looked at a loss. The man in black, who was meditating silently, suddenly said: "Xi'er, do you still remember the "Heavenly Song" written by your father?" "Remember." "Okay! If you don't have enough strength to be a father, you can sing with him." As soon as the knight cleared his throat, he began to sing, and the rough Qin Yin immediately filled the mountains and rivers—— When the singing fell, there was a burst of laughter from the mountainside, "Good! His ambition is commendable!" The man in black didn't speak any more, and climbed up the hillside with big strides.The strong knight rushed forward quickly, pulled the grass to find the way, and pulled his father up the mountain.After climbing for a while, I saw a flat land in front of me, the smoke from the thatched hut was hidden deep in the bamboo forest, but the big waterfall with flying pearls and jade hanging on the mountainside to the north of the hut.A path in the thatched grass goes straight into the bamboo forest, and the blackened bamboo fence and the quiet small courtyard in front of the thatched house can be faintly seen.The man in black gasped and looked around for a while, then bowed deeply, "Qin, An Guojun Yingzhu, I pay my respects to Mr." "The fire does not burn, and Wang De does not burn." With a long voice, a man suddenly appeared on the cliff next to the waterfall. His beard and hair were messy, and he was so thin and black that he was a mountain hunter.The knight glanced at it, then frowned, "Father, just go back." The man in black swept his sharp gaze at the knight, turned around and cupped his hands, "May I ask you, sir, what is your name?" The man on the cliff said loudly He said with a smile: "Hexi Shicang, I have been waiting for Lord An for many days!" The man in black bowed solemnly, "Please go back to the manor, Mr. Yingzhu and his son come to the hall to pay respects." Guest. An Guojun wait a moment, I will come in a moment." The laughter stopped, and the figure of the cliff suddenly disappeared. The guest is not right.Yingzhu and his son had just walked up the hillside beside the bamboo forest when they saw a bunch of pine torches thrown high on the roof of the hut in the forest. A cloud of fireworks suddenly rose from the valley, accompanied by a tangy rosin, and they heard a burst of laughter. engulfed in flames. "Free and unrestrained, a real celebrity!" Ying Zhu couldn't help admiring loudly. "Father, it's so weird!" The knight yelled in surprise, "The fireworks didn't spread to the four mountains, but they stopped when they reached the bamboo forest and pines and cypresses!" Ying Zhu said with a straight face, "This is Qiaoshan, the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, don't you know?" The knight stopped talking, but only frowned and stared at the gradually dissipating fireworks.At this moment, there was a whirling in the bamboo forest on the hillside, and a black and thin figure was standing in the middle of the path. His cloth was covered with patches of various colors stitched with thick needles and threads. A burden on his shoulder was so dirty that it lost its color. The sword is also full of rust, and with long hair, long beard and bare feet, straw sandals, he is like a living refugee!The knight wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and forced a loud sneeze.An Guojun hurriedly greeted him without hesitation, "The mountain road is rugged, and Mr. Ying Zhu admired it!" The visitor laughed, "Shicang often lives in the mountains and competes with birds and beasts for food, and his body is light. It’s just healthy, Mr. An Guo missed the award.” Ying Zhu said with a smile: “May I ask you how expensive your Geng is?” Shi Cang said: “The old man has passed the age of hearing, and there are three out of sixty.” “Three out of sixty?” Ying Zhu was surprised Looking at the vigorous and nimble Shi Cang, he couldn't believe his eyes anyway, so he couldn't help but bow, "Sir, you are really a fairy!" Shi Cang waved his hand and said, "Uncle Fan pulled out the old man, but it is Which prince should I call?" Ying Zhu waved to the knight on the hillside, turned back and cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Jiuwen is a great talent. My father and son are both disciples of him. When we return to Xianyang, we will pay homage to the master." He pointed at the knight, "This is my sixth son, Yingxi. Xier , Meet the teacher." Ying Xi came over with a straight face and bowed slightly, "Ying Xi pays respects to the teacher." Shi Cang glanced at Ying Xi quickly, then smiled lightly, "My lord doesn't like to read and think deeply, but is only fond of swordsmanship, horsemanship and archery. Why do you call him excellent in both civil and military?" Ying Xi's face flushed immediately, and he said in a high voice, "What's wrong with swordsmanship, horseback riding and archery?" "Zhuzi is rude!" Ying Zhu scolded, turned around and cupped his hands in embarrassment, "The state affairs are delicate, so I have to make such remarks, please forgive me. If you have to make up for this son's knowledge and insight, Ying Zhu will never fail Thanks sir." Shicang laughed loudly and said, "Here is neither learning nor skillful, but he still has his true colors. Let me give it a try!" Ying Zhu's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he immediately ordered Ying Xi to carry the teacher down the mountain.But Shi Cang waved his hand, saying that the old man is waiting at the foot of the mountain, and then slid down the hillside through the grass and trees.Ying Zhu glanced at his son with a stern face and said, "Since you are good at martial arts, you will be able to catch up with the master." Ying Xi immediately became energetic, and before he could say a good word, he flew down the hillside.It is about two miles from the mountainside to the river valley. The distance is not long, but it is tangled with thorns and thorns. How easy is it to go down the mountain quickly?Relying on his strength, Ying Xi followed the Mao Dao where he came from, jumping and rolling to chase the carefree old man.It's strange to say that Ying Xi, who can clearly see the figure in front of her walking leisurely like walking on the ground, can't keep up with the jumping and rolling.Seeing that another mountain ridge and thorns are the river valley grassland, the figure of the old man is still out of reach. In desperation, Yingxi made a big jump and rolled over the thorny mountain ridge with his body, trying to catch up with the old man on the valley grassland with a big downhill slope .I don't want to be lifted up by a warrior as soon as I rolled down the thorn bushes, "Don't panic, my lord, I'm waiting for you." "I'm in such a panic!" Ying Xi laughed angrily with sweat all over her body, "You said you're waiting for me here?" "Exactly!" The samurai stood up and pointed to the other side of the river, "The old Yaonong said that two people have already gone to pick up Mr. An, my lord, don't panic." "You're panicking!" Ying Xi roared angrily, and strode across the river.When he got to the shore, he saw Shi Cang sitting on a round boulder with his legs spread wide, reciting to himself an ancient sentence that Ying Xi didn't understand at all.Ying Xi walked over with bare feet and smiled coldly, "Sir, you have very sharp legs and feet." Shi Cang said without turning his head, "This old man is neat, not just legs and feet? You don't have any neat legs." Ying Xi blushed and said, "Get out of here." What is mountain climbing? Sword, Ge, Riding and Archery is the real kung fu!" Shi Cang turned around and laughed, "Rolling hills and climbing hills is not easy, but he has real kung fu? You are really cute, kid." Ying Xi was annoyed. Said: "I am Black Eagle Swordsman! Do you know, sir?" Shi Cang said with a chuckle, "Even if you have the name of Kunpeng, you are still a fool." There was a splash of water, and when I looked back, my father was standing by the river with a sullen face, so he quickly lowered his head and walked to the side to prepare the chariots and horses. Ying Zhu walked over barefoot and cupped his hands: "Sir, do you want to rest for a day before leaving, or do you just go now?" "But rely on Mr. An." Shi Cang swayed his big feet like dead branches, "I'm just the same, so don't make it public." "That's very good." An Guojun said with a smile, "I'm not as healthy as my husband, so I rested for two days and set off." Turning around, he was about to order the sergeant to cook, but he saw a horse flying towards him on the mountain road, and he was in front of him in a while.The knight jumped off the horse without wiping off his dripping sweat, and whispered hurriedly to Mr. An who came up to him.After hearing this, An Guojun turned around and gave instructions: "Let's set off immediately! Ying Xi rode ahead to open the way, and I will ride with you." After a while, the knight team escorted the big black caravan and rumbled out of Qiaoshan.
