In early winter, with the frost and slight chill, there was an official road with green pines growing on both sides.
"Jingle Bell……"
A string of wind chimes is tied to the redbud-carved carriage, which makes a crisp and sweet sound as the carriage shakes.
This is a must-have for the old lady of the Jiang family when she travels far away. It is said that she liked to listen to wind chimes when she was a girl. It was also this wind chime carriage that attracted the attention of the swinger brother Jiang Ce. The two got married and formed a rich family connection.
At this moment, the old lady was wearing an ordinary man's jacket, hugging her great-grandson Jiang Zichong, and opened the curtains with a smile. She saw Steward Li Yun who was escorting on horseback, and Aunt Bai and Aunt Hei who were guarding "Wuzhu". Through the three of them, Sitting in a carriage behind her was her daughter-in-law Ji Jiuwei.
The next carriage was that of grandson Jiang Yuqing, but he was not sitting in the carriage, but riding a horse and walking together with Xiong Zhao, Yao Yao, Chan Yi, Bai Xuanji, and Jiang Nuying, chatting.
A smile appeared on the old lady's face and she said: "When I was young, I heard from my father that Confucianism says that a woman should obey the three obediences and the four virtues. These three obediences are to obey the father before leaving the court, to obey the husband after marrying, and to obey the son when she is old.
The old woman has no sons, and now she wants to adopt a grandson. But this boy has an idea. He wants to leave his huge family fortune and wander around. At first, the old woman thought it was ridiculous and tried her best to oppose it. But as soon as he left the big water tank in the imperial capital, Ah, it feels so good to feel relaxed and free all over! "
Li Yun chuckled and said: "Your Highness...Young Master is extremely intelligent. As long as you are here, the old lady can rest assured."
"Peace of mind and peace of mind!"
The old lady lowered the curtains and teased her great-grandson.
"Sir, where are we going?"
Later, Xiong Zhang asked quietly, it really takes a lot of courage to leave everything in the Jiang family. After all, it means giving up the identity of the Jiang family, giving up the royal family and the honor of the emperor. For example, His Highness is not allowed to be called His Highness. , just call me Young Master.
Shan Yao, Bai Xuanji, Jiang Nuying and Chanyi also looked at Xin Zhuo, blinking with confusion on their faces.
I have no idea!
Xin Zhuo reined in his horse and looked towards the unknown end of the official road, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. He didn't understand it, but he couldn't stay in the imperial capital, and of course he couldn't go to a place like Western Qin where he had too much influence. He needed to Find a place that no one knows, preferably with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
There was no shortage of money anyway. The cart pulling Shennong's Xiantian Cauldron was full of gold, silver, jewelry, and jade, which a few people could not spend all in a lifetime.
But looking at the expectant expressions of the girls, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said confidently: "Just do it and cherish it!"
The girls looked at each other and felt that this sentence made sense. They should do it and cherish it...
Xin Zhuo stretched out, looked up at the blue and cloudless sky, frowned, and asked, "Where did Cui Ying'er, the others, and Xiao Huang go?"
That's right! These guys are not in Fulong Mountain, and there is no news from Xi Qin, so where will they go?
Also, where did the three old guys Li Guangling, Jiang Yong and Huang Taigai go? Ordinarily, the three of them knew about the decline of Western Qin and would not sit idly by.
The most important thing is... is Su Miaojin okay? Where is she now?
Shan Yao smiled and said: "Young master, you should know that Murong Xiu and Huang Dagui are smarter than foxes. They can make an idea with just a change of eyes. They will not suffer any loss. We will meet again someday. Don't worry about them."
Xin Zhuo nodded, this is the truth. Murong Xiu and Huang Dagui never have their minds on the right track. Many things do not follow common sense. Most people who want to deceive them are easily betrayed by them.
Thinking of this, let go of all your worries, jump on your horse, whip your whip, and run straight ahead.
The girls in Xiongzhao looked at each other, smiled, and chased after each other.
For a while, the winter wind blew gently, and the horse moved happily.
Night falls.
When they arrived at a leeward mountain col, they got off the carriage. Xiong Zhao and others raised a pile of torches, and the family sat around and baked dry food.
The old lady and the arrogant old lady Ji Jiuwei looked at the fire with strange expressions on their faces. With their identities and status, they had never had this kind of experience sleeping in the mountains at night. Apart from the novelty in their hearts, they also felt...as if they had been deceived by Jiang Yuqing. .
Therefore, after eating the dry food and barely wrapping his belly, Ji Jiuwei looked at Xin Zhuo and said seriously: "Son, you asked us to abandon our status and hundreds of years of Jiang family. My mother and your grandmother did so. Please tell us." What do you think?"
"To be honest with my grandmother and mother, the golden age of martial arts will come in one month. This world will collapse. Everything is empty. Running away and hiding and surviving to develop is the last word." Xin Zhuo said.
The old lady and Ji Jiuwei looked at each other. They were used to the weird vocabulary in Jiang Yuqing's mouth, and they could barely understand it. Moreover, they believed what Jiang Yuqing said, but... this guy still didn't get to the point.
So the old lady asked: "So, where are we going?"
Seven or eight pairs of eyes stared at him.
Xin Zhuo coughed lightly: "Let's go..."
"Come on this!"
She knows her son better than her mother, at least that's what Ji Jiuwei thought. She saw at a glance that her son had no idea, "Did you coax us out and you haven't thought of where to go?"
"I am wise!"
Ji Jiuwei and the old lady said in unison: "Longevity Village!"
Xin Zhuo: "?"
The old lady explained: "You, your time at home is too short. In the past few years, you have been running around, fighting everywhere, practicing martial arts. You don't know where our Jiang family originated. Your ancient ancestor Jiang Taixu was born. In Changshou Village, Baihe Prefecture is four thousand miles away from the capital, four thousand miles away from Nanli, and four thousand miles away from Western Qin. There are mountains, water, and people living there. It is very secretive. Most of the people in the village are members of the Lao Jiang family. Stop interacting with outsiders!"
This is not bad. Xin Zhuo asked: "Do outsiders know where my Jiang family originated?"
The old lady shook her head: "We have almost forgotten it ourselves. How can outsiders pay so much attention? At most, we know Bazhou, the place where the ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty Jiang Yuan made his fortune!"
"Okay! Let's go there!"
Xin Zhuo took out a landscape map and pointed at the location of Baihe Prefecture, "We happened to be heading south. We have already walked a thousand miles, all the way to the southwest, and we will arrive in ten days. We will arrange everything just before the golden age comes. "
"Okay!" Old Taijun and Ji Jiuwei agreed happily.
At this time, Xin Zhuo stood up and cried out, leaping straight into the distance. After a while, he reached the top of a mountain, looked at the full moon in the sky, took a long breath, and untied his robe.
Just halfway out, I looked sharply at the top of the mountain opposite, narrowed my eyes, and saw a thin figure jumping up there and peeing in a Thomas circle. It looked so familiar.
Then their eyes met.
"Woof!"
An excited dog barked, followed by a black demonic aura. In a flash, he crossed the hundred-foot cliff and arrived at Xin Zhuo's feet. He twisted his waist and swung his hips, and the dog's tail swung.
Who else could it be but the much prettier Xiao Huang?
This surprised Xin Zhuo, and he subconsciously looked at the hilltop opposite again. Cui Ying'er and the others were also there?
But Xiao Huang blinked and shook his head humanely, indicating that it was just him.
Xin Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He picked up one of Xiao Huang's hoofs and looked him up and down. What a great fellow, he was a great venerable dog demon. The meridians in his body were extremely wide, comparable to a great venerable who had refined martial arts skills seven times.
Has one of my dogs reached this level?
Xiao Huang was a little aggrieved and groaned, indicating that his posture was uncomfortable.
Xin Zhuo had no choice but to throw it down and kicked it: "Let's go!"
Almost as soon as the man and the dog disappeared on the top of the mountain, a surprised voice came from the cliff: "Qinghuang? Didn't that fierce man disappear? This doesn't look like it? Who is this little bastard?"
Following the voice, a small temple emerged in the sea of mist. Suddenly, he became unstable and fell headfirst: "Wow! I came out too early. I ran here from the sea of suffering. I ran out of gas. I won't be able to repair it in a hundred and eighty years." Got it!"
…
November 23, light snow.
Scattered snow foam floated in the sky.
The longevity village has arrived.
