It would be unwise to focus on Mei Yang.
After Mei Youqian mentioned Mei Yang, no one had much reaction. Their wandering hearts were about to fall back to earth. Who cares about that person who has nothing to do with them?
If you have this in mind, why not take a closer look at the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
As the boat sailed north and out of Jinbai County, the scenery on both sides of the river changed increasingly differently from what they had seen before.
From Lihu Town to Jinbai County, you can almost see rolling hills on both sides of the river. Compared with this hill, you can see the mountains after passing Jinbai County.
Really, the one in front of the mountain in Jinbai County is called "The Lady", and the one in the back is called the "Queen Mother".
After passing Jinbai County, the scenery on both sides of the river became more and more open.
There is a large area of flat land on both sides of the Jinlan River, especially if you look to the west, you can see the endless flat land.
I heard from the boat boss that because it borders Yanzhou to the west, most of Yanzhou's boundaries are plain grasslands, and only there is a mountain blocking Hanzhou to the east.
Although the right side (east) of the river bank is also a plain, the majestic and majestic green mountains standing behind the plain are like some kind of natural barrier.
I heard that after climbing over the mountain, there is Xianyao Prefecture on the other side.
Along the way, Mayberry often stared at the "green barrier", which seemed to have no end.
Until she saw that the mountain was getting taller and taller, the green vegetation on it was getting sparser, and the continuous barrier finally became dented.
Before Meiberry could take a closer look at the sunken place, the captain of the ship shouted.
The high-pitched cry made Mayberry turn around, and then the bow of the ship swerved and sailed to another place.
In an instant, out of the corner of Meiberry's eye, she saw a large number of cattle and sheep drinking water on the west bank of the river.
"One river divides Yanyun, are we... here?"
Mei Mei remembered that the geographical annals mentioned that the dividing line between Yunzhou and Yanzhou in the north was the Jinlan River.
Seeing this, their destination was about to arrive.
"We're entering the pier, stand still, little lady!"
When the boat boss saw Meiberry turning to look west in a daze, he shouted again.
As the ship bumped, Mayberry turned her head again and the scenery in front of her made her take a breath again!
The wharf in Yunzhou Fucheng is very similar to the wharf in Lihu Town. They are both connected to the lakes on the riverside and sail into a winding waterway. At the end is an area dozens of times larger than that of Lihu Lake. More and more open docks.
Looking along the waterway, docks, and the wide, flat and bustling dockside city, they finally arrived at the foot of Yunzhou Fucheng.
"My dear!"
Others in the family also walked out of the cabin and looked up at the towering mountains "so close".
The towering Xianyun Mountain seems to be the mythical Optimus Prime, which is three-dimensional and reaches the sky. It cannot be seen at a glance. The mist and clouds cover the mountain peak, making people unable to help but feel fear when they look at it.
"The capital of Yunzhou is on this mountain?"
Mei Youqian felt a little unbelievable when he thought of what Mei Pei said.
Are there people living on such a mountain?
Everyone was also reminded by his words and stared at the mountain again. Looking carefully, they could also see the faint and continuous white stone and black tiles on the mountainside.
"We can't see it from here. There is a large flat area on the mountainside on the other side of the mountain. The capital of Yunzhou is there."
The boat boss listened to everyone's sighs and said a few more words, "But this city is big~ There are many people living in many places on the mountain.
Nuo, get off the dock and walk along the official road. There will be a fork in the back. The road on the left and right is the road to Fucheng, and the right is Jinghu Pass. If you want to go to Xianyao, Hanzhou, or Yanyun, you don't want to take the waterway. Then you can go out through Jinghu Pass. "
Mei Bei and the others looked along the boat boss's finger, and it turned out that the sunken area she saw earlier was Jinghu Pass.
It was just a canyon that was slightly tidied up and made into a pass.
This place is indeed dangerous, as if a crack has accidentally opened in the mountains.
It was almost evening when the Meiberry and Meiyou families disembarked. They did not choose to go up the mountain immediately. Instead, they found an inn to stay near the pier.
The people from Yaxing introduced by Jiubaoxuan made an appointment to come over tomorrow, and they just happened to have some rest today.
At night, the dockside becomes even more lively, with many ships moored here. Merchants, students coming to take exams, and boatmen are scattered in every corner of the dockside city.
After Meiberry and his family freshened up in the inn, they put on the clothes they bought at a clothing store in the town a few days ago and went out to eat.
A makeover is nothing more than that.
Now, anyone standing in front of Mei Bei and Mei You's family might not be able to recognize him.
Mei Youqian had noticed a tavern when he got off the boat.
Among the guests coming and going in this tavern, there are both well-dressed people who seem to have a small fortune, as well as ordinary people wearing simple clothes. There are even a few dock workers who will come out with a large bowl of food.
It's not that he was kicked out, it was more like he didn't want to cause trouble. The waiter would come out with a pot of tea and pour some tea for the workers who were having dinner.
There was no impatience on his face during the whole process. For a store like this, Mei Youqian felt that even if the price was not the cheapest, it would definitely provide the best overall experience.
Therefore, they came here after leaving the inn at night.
Sure enough, when Mei Berry and his group arrived at the door of the tavern, they were welcomed in by the enthusiastic waiter. Seeing that there were six of them in total, he took them directly to a seat by the window on the second floor.
Mayberry propped her chin on her hand and looked out the window.
The window is facing Xianyun Mountain. In the dark night, the scattered lights on the mountainside are particularly attractive.
"Look!"
Meiberry pointed to the lights on the mountainside outside the window. They were not conspicuous during the day, but in the dark night, the lights on the mountainside were very eye-catching.
This warm yellow firelight adds a touch of human fireworks to this majestic and solemn mountain.
Taking a closer look, the lights stretched from halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
A route up the mountain into the city was outlined by the lights. The zigzag mountain road did not look steep. It would not be difficult for the family to take the mules up the mountain tomorrow.
It would be great if there were always no disasters...
Qilanguan City, Yanzhou,
Thorda was one of the first batch of barbarians to come to Dacheng to exchange supplies this year.
The blizzard on the grassland last year killed many of his tribesmen, and now several of their small tribes are uniting together to avoid being robbed and annexed by other warlike large tribes.
Thinking of this, Thorda's eyes fell on the sheep behind him, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.
"leader……"
Thorda's cousin hurriedly walked towards him and couldn't help but said: "Thank you to Changsheng God, we are saved! We are saved!"
When he heard Daru say that there was a Dacheng merchant in Guan City who wanted to harvest wool, Thorda felt that he had heard something wrong!
"Are you telling the truth? It's not sheep, it's wool?!"
"It's wool! Really! It's over there! The businessman is accompanied by a guy who speaks nonsense! Two pounds of wool can be exchanged for one pound of grain! Many other people have passed by!"
For a moment, Thorda felt that his breathing was quickening!
I was dreaming all night last night, and my mind was filled with the geographical scenery around Yunzhou Fucheng, and then I was "parkouring" in Fucheng.
Sitting there early in the morning sketching the map of the four northern states, it was hard to understand at a glance... It was so difficult for me...
