Fortunately, the night was uneventful. Everyone got up early and broke camp and left. At sunset, they arrived in Shanyin County, a hundred miles away from Datong. Princess Kunxing said that the name of this place was so eerie that it made people uncomfortable. Chang Yu explained that the name of this place meant Because it is located in the north of Fusu Mountain, it is named Shanyin, and there is something dark under the ground. Kun Xing's face turned pale when he heard this: "Could it be some kind of ghost?"
Chang Yu laughed: "It's dark coal, the underground of this mountain is full of coal... Tsk tsk tsk, Daiwang's fiefdom is full of treasures. It's hard for him not to get rich."
"Ah, how many more are there than those outside Datong City?" Zhu Cixiang asked. They had taken a look at Daiwang's coal mine on the way out of Datong. At that time, they were surprised that there was a coal mine not far from the city. This resource was so rich. , but what Chang Yu said, good fellow, there are treasures buried throughout Datong.
This time we did not camp in the wild but entered Shanyin City. We left the city at dawn and left Yanmen Pass at dusk to formally enter the territory of Taiyuan Prefecture. The group went directly to Daizhou City (today's Dai County) Station to rest. Chang Yu sent an order to stay in Daizhou for a while. day.
Yanmen Pass is one of the famous three passes in Shanxi. The other two are Piantou Pass and Ningwuguan. Zhou Yuji was originally the commander-in-chief of the three passes and was stationed at Ningwu. Historically, he died fighting with thieves there and martyred his country.
However, Yanmen Pass and Ningwuguan are separated by a mountain range of nearly a hundred miles, but Daizhou City is right at the gate.
To be precise, Daizhou City was built in a valley between two mountain ranges, but the distance between these two mountains was relatively wide, dozens of miles wide. Following this valley to the south, three hundred miles away, was Taiyuan Prefecture.
After walking long distances for two consecutive days, most of the people were tired and fell asleep after washing up. Chang Yu couldn't sleep and looked up at the moon in the yard with his hands behind his back. He didn't know why the moon in winter seemed particularly clear, clean, and bright.
Brothers Chen Ruxin and Chen Suole leaned against the pillar under the eaves of the corridor and whispered, and then unknowingly looked up at the moon and slowly fell into deep thought.
"But are you homesick?" Chang Yu walked up to the two of them at some point and asked softly.
The two of them came to their senses in a flash, smiled a little sheepishly, and said in unison: "I miss my mother."
Chang Yu hummed: "I envy you, you still have something to think about, and you can go back and have a look." He sighed and looked up into the sky: "In the past, when I read Li Taibai, I looked up at the bright moon and lowered my head to think about my hometown. I didn't feel it now. Only then can I feel the same way.”
"Governor, you... at home..." Chen Ruxin asked weakly. Chang Yu shook his head: "Both of my parents died when I was young, otherwise I wouldn't have become a eunuch in the palace."
The two dared not answer the conversation.
Chang Yu said again: "As the New Year is approaching, I have granted you leave to go back to your hometown to visit relatives." The two of them were overjoyed and thanked them quickly.
"Have you ever heard that wealth does not return to its hometown, as if you are walking at night in brocade clothes?" Chang Yu asked with a smile. The two shook their heads, and Chen Suoyue said: "I have only heard of, "Jade clothes return to hometown."
"It's not bad. Now that you've gained some skills while out there, you should go back to your hometown to have a look and show your face to your family." Chang Yu said with a smile: "Now that you two have military merits and positions, you can be considered capable people. If If you think it's embarrassing to work as an errand in the East Factory, I will give you the title of Jin Yiwei and return home. It's a great occasion for Jin Yiwei to return to his hometown."
"No, no, no, just take the Dongchang's." The two brothers waved their hands quickly: "Now, no one in the world knows the reputation of our Dongchang's great military exploits, and we won't change it for the commander of the Jin Yiwei."
Chang Yu laughed: "If Wu Mengming hears this, he will fight for your brothers..." As he was talking, he suddenly saw Zhu Cixiang walking out of the room and looking straight at the bright moon in the sky. Chang Yu frowned: " Why don't you sleep and sleepwalk?"
Zhu Cixi shook his head.
"Why, you miss your mother too."
Moreover, Zhu Cixiang rolled his eyes: "Can't I be a little sentimental or something? It would be a pity not to be pretentious about such a beautiful moonlight."
Now that he's finished, Chang Yu secretly wonders whether this kid has been led astray by him, and why is he now developing like a second-rate young man like Wuzhong?
Early the next morning, Chang Yu got up for morning exercises. Seeing that Zhu Cixiang was low in energy, he specially asked him to sleep more. In this state, forcing him to follow the training would do more harm than good. However, he unexpectedly saw Qing Yi standing timidly outside the door: "Shopkeeper, you said you were looking for him a few days ago. I'm sorry, what's the matter?"
Only then did Chang Yu remember that he had indeed said this when he was at the Prince's Palace in Datong, but he turned around and forgot about it. Qing Yi was introverted and didn't like to see people. Even Chang Yu could hardly see her figure, let alone remember it. It was rare that she mustered up the courage to come to the door by herself today. '
"As soon as you said that, I remembered that I have a favor for you to do." Chang Yu half-smiled but Qing Yi quickly said, "What's the favor? Just ask the shopkeeper, Pindao will definitely help." She could tell. I really want to do something to help Chang Yu, so that I can feel useful.
"I was bullied a few days ago, but I couldn't beat him. Can you help me teach him a lesson?" Chang Yu asked.
Qing Yi suddenly looked confused. She was simple but not stupid. The young man in front of her had a very powerful background and was a master of martial arts. He was surrounded by first-rate masters. Whoever dared to bully him would be bullied. Even if you are being bullied, you still need to ask her for help.
She didn't believe it, but she couldn't understand what Chang Yu wanted to do, so she couldn't help scratching her head: "Who in the store bullied you?"
Well, Chang Yu pointed in that direction, Qing Yi turned around and saw Wang Lang doing warm-up exercises in the corner.
"Wang Lang, you bullied me the day before yesterday but I can't beat you. Today I have found a helper to teach you a lesson." Chang Yu shouted. Wang Lang was startled over there, what the hell, but he saw Chang Yu wink at him, and then saw Qing Yi With a confused look on his face, he understood his psychology, so he put his hands on his hips and said: "What's wrong with hitting you? It doesn't matter if you have a helper. I'll beat you with your helper too. It's just a girl and I'll knock her away with my fist..."
"Qingyi, look at him... go and give him a good meal!" Chang Yu gritted his teeth angrily. Qingyi was still too young and naive. When he saw Wang Lang's arrogance, he looked at Chang Yu, who felt aggrieved and helpless. , Gritting his teeth, Wang Lang rushed over: "No matter how big or small, even the master dares to bully..."
Then the two of them fought fiercely, Chang Yu nodded repeatedly as he looked at the doorpost, and Wang Zhengnan walked over: "Is the Governor going to train her to be a killer like Night Demon?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "She can't become the second night devil."
"Both of them are rare masters in the world, and they have many similarities. Qing Yi just has unique skills but doesn't know it. If his achievements over time are not inferior to those of the Night Demon, but based on his humble position, he could be the second Night Demon." Wang Zhengnan's eyes were very vicious.
But Chang Yu still shook his head: "She can only be the unique Qing Yi, and she will never become the second Night Demon."
"I'm humble enough to hear the details," Wang Zhengnan said with raised eyebrows.
Chang Yu's eyes followed Qing Yi, who was fighting fiercely with Wang Lang: "Because of character, character determines a person's achievements and future, and it also permeates all a person's words and deeds. Su Jing's character is extreme, and so is his martial arts and acting style, but Qing Yi is different , she is introverted and simple, you can see that the palm she just hit could clearly hit Wang Lang's Adam's apple but stopped there. You can say that it is because of his lack of actual combat experience, or it is possible, but there is still room for everything. His master must have taught her this way, If it's Su Jing..." He frowned and said, "Could it be that Su Jing's master is Master Miejie?"
Wang Zhengnan nodded, still agreeing with what Chang Yu said. Seeing Qing Yi and Wang Lang fighting fiercely over there, both of them were decorated but also angry, attracting cheers from all the relatives and attendants. Continuously.
"In addition to being good at boxing and kicking, Qing Yi has also practiced Taoist internal strength and has achieved a small amount of success. However, she only thinks that it is a health-preserving technique and cannot be used against the enemy. In addition, she has no actual combat experience against the enemy, so she is suppressed by Wang Lang in every aspect. However, It won't be long before Wang Lang faces her again and will have a headache." Wang Zhengnan explained while watching the battle. In private, he had more contact with Qing Yi and knew something about her.
"This is good for Wang Lang, and it can also hone his Mantis Boxing, and one day he will become a grandmaster." Chang Yu nodded slightly: "In the future, you can all train for Tsing Yi and make progress together. If you don't work hard, you will only be left behind. If a group of big men can't defeat a little Taoist nun, it will be embarrassing."
Wang Zhengnan laughed: "The shopkeeper expects so much from Qingyi."
Chang Yu chuckled: "It's not that I have high expectations for her, but she actually has this strength. She is just a piece of raw jade. With careful craftsmanship, she will be able to compete with the master in the future." He sighed and said, "Perhaps I will be lucky enough to meet Qian Qian. The first female grandmaster in a century."
Wang Zhengnan's expression became solemn, as if he were a master!
