"There is no harmony between mountains and hills, there is no harmony between mountains and hills"
Fan Kuai's muttering alone caught Li Zhao's attention. He suddenly turned his head and stared, asking urgently: "Do you know this sentence?"
Fan Kuai held his cheek, scratched his chin with his fingers thoughtfully, and said uncertainly: "Kai has indeed heard this sentence, but it is just a rumor. I don't know if it is true."
As long as there are clues, Li Zhao became interested and asked again: "How did the rumor come about?"
"It is rumored that a god dropped a sledgehammer from the sky and smashed a mountain out of the ground. This mountain is extremely strange. It is divided into seven peaks. If the peaks and peaks do not overlap, there is a saying that the mountains do not fit together."
"There are still such rumors?" Li Zhao opened his eyes wide after hearing this, and his frown slightly relaxed, but he stopped completely and asked, "What about the top of the snow mountain?"
Fan Kuai shook his head without hesitation and said, "I don't know very well. Kuai is ignorant, but he has never heard of it."
Yes, he had only heard of "mountains without harmony", but he really didn't know about "the top of the snow-capped mountains".
Li Zhao was slightly disappointed, but did not give up. He continued to ask: "You have heard of the land of white flowers and the invisible young girl, right?"
Fan Kuai fell into deep thought again. He was sure that he had never heard of the 'Land of White Flowers', but he seemed to have heard of 'The Invisible Qing Nu': "Actually, many people know the legend of the invisible Qing Nu. Kuai is a rough man, but the young master can Ask someone else.”
Li Zhao nodded, instead of thinking hard on his own, it would be better to brainstorm ideas.
Then he led Fan Kuai to find Wu Quan. Wu Quan was also a fool, so naturally he couldn't ask any questions.
"By the way, ask your uncle, he might know something."
My uncle has been doing business with his father since he was a child, traveling all over the country, so he should have some knowledge, maybe he knows.
So, he took Fan Kuai on the train to Xianyang.
After Li Jinong was pardoned by the emperor, he returned to the trading house and was busy all the time. There were so many things going on during this period that he couldn't even take care of the big things in Shanglinyuan.
When he saw his uncle and saw his body that seemed to be much older, Li Zhao felt sad for a while. This man had worried so much and given everything he had for his nephew and the Li family.
"Uncle!" This was the first time the uncle and nephew met after Li Jinong left Xianyang Prison. They were very sad. It wasn't that Li Zhao didn't want to see his uncle, but he was actually very busy.
Meeting each other after busy work is the most precious. Looking at his nephew who has grown up and matured a lot, Li Jinong feels comforted. Apart from being happy, his face is filled with satisfaction.
"Zhao'er, uncle is very happy to see you today."
Li Jinong already knew about Li Zhao's performance in this riot, and he knew even more that Shanglinyuan was still prosperous. All this was brought about by his nephew. He lived up to his brother's instructions and watched the only seedling of the Li family grow up in his lifetime. .
After reminiscing about the past, Li Zhao couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle, do you know that on the top of the snow-capped mountains, in the land of white flowers, the invisible green girl and the mysterious cave?"
Li Jinong's heart trembled when he heard this, but he tried his best to control his emotions, and his face gradually became serious. He took a deep look at his nephew, and asked carefully: "Why are you asking? You want to find Princess Yangzi. ?"
"Of course, Yin Man is missing now, and my nephew must find her. In fact, this is also related to the whereabouts of my mother?"
Hearing the last sentence, Li Jinong's expression became inexplicably panicked, and he said unsteadily: "Who said that? Who said it was related to the whereabouts of your mother? It's nothing. Don't listen to rumors."
Hearing this, Li Zhao looked slightly sideways. He felt that his uncle's behavior at this moment was too unusual, but he was also sure that his uncle must know something.
"Uncle, please tell me that this is not only my nephew's hope, but also His Majesty's hope. My nephew has promised Your Majesty that he must find my mother back, otherwise he will be deceiving the king."
"Deceiving the emperor?" Li Jinong became nervous after hearing this. He couldn't bear to see his nephew in danger the most, so he could only sigh and said, "Do you really want to know?"
"Yes!" Li Zhao noticed that his uncle had unspeakable tolerance. Maybe this unspeakable tolerance involved something, something that might be terrible, but he had no choice. If he wanted to find his mother, he had to know something. .
"The top of the snow-capped mountains. Maybe in the north, or maybe only a thousand miles away. You can ask Your Majesty about this. No one knows this place better than him. The young girl is invisible! It's just a rumor. There is a fairy who is unparalleled in beauty. But her whereabouts are invisible. Some people say that she appeared in the fairy mountains overseas, while others say that she appeared on the top of the snow-capped mountains. Anyway, they are all rumors and may not be true. You'd better ask His Majesty about this. He is better than anyone else. Everyone knows it.”
Li Zhao listened and listened, daring himself to rush to Xianyang in vain. He asked Your Majesty everything. Isn't this not seeking the distant place at the expense of the near? However, since His Majesty knew this, why did he act ignorant when he said these words?
Is this emperor playing another trick?
Seeing that his uncle stopped talking at this point, Li Zhao became a little anxious and reminded: "Where is the land of white flowers?"
Li Jinong rolled his eyes at his nephew, his expression changed 360 degrees at one point, and scolded him: "You have to ask me everything. You think your uncle is a god. You don't know. Get out of here and go back to Shanglin Garden."
"This" Li Zhao couldn't adapt to it for a while. This guy was too hard to talk to. Is he still the approachable uncle he used to be? Or is he deliberately hiding something that he doesn't want to say?
It's so abnormal.
Forget it, my uncle is just a businessman, so how much can he know? But he was not disappointed, because he found someone with more authority to speak, the emperor.
He hurriedly led Fan Kuai back to Shanglin Garden and came to see His Majesty immediately. At this moment, His Majesty walked out of the secret palace and faced the north in silence, seemingly filled with endless sorrow.
"You are here, are you ready to say goodbye to me? No need to, you can just go on your own."
Ying Zheng did not turn his head, still looking north in trance.
"I still need one day to prepare, and I will leave tomorrow. I came here this time to relieve my depression." Li Zhao did not hide anything.
"Say it!"
It seemed that the emperor already knew what he was going to ask.
"On the top of the snow-capped mountains, the young girl is invisible."
Ying Zheng showed no abnormal behavior and seemed so calm. He responded: "I know you are pretending, but does this have anything to do with finding your mother? Your mother is just an ordinary person."
Li Zhao frowned when he heard this. He didn't understand what he meant. Why is his grandmother just an ordinary person? Is it true that the rumor that Qingnv is invisible is true?
The more this happened, the more his interest was aroused.
"Not only to find my mother, but also to find Yinman."
Ying Zheng remained silent, scolded him for a long time, threw up his sleeves and walked away.
"Why didn't you go find your mother properly, and why did you come back to ask why?"
Li Zhao was stunned. Qin Shihuang was too moody. He just asked about something he didn't understand. Why should he be angry? He didn't offend him.
But when I saw His Majesty leaving, I had no choice but to endure the scolding and send him off respectfully.
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
"What are you giving me? Hurry and find your mother. Do you still want me to act with you?"
ah! Li Zhao was shocked, acting? How dare you think that this guy has been acting with me, and you really show your feelings?
However, there was still a light word: "You can go to Pei County and look for it."
Pei County?
Li Zhao was astonished and thought to himself: It turns out that this guy knew about his mother's whereabouts, but he didn't tell her clearly and let himself act in such a show. He was regarded as a fool again.
However, there was one thing he couldn't figure out: why did his uncle lie and the emperor angrily scolded him when he mentioned this sentence? Could it be that there are some unknown secrets hidden inside?
Li Zhao was confused.
But it's good to have a purpose, so you don't have to spend so much time thinking about it.
