At Lantian Villa, Jin Wuming was saying goodbye to his parents.
The only people who went to Lantian Villa with him today were a few young male disciples, Shopkeeper Jin, and Meng Xiaodie.
According to Jin Wuming's wishes, he originally didn't want Luo Xiaodie to go with him. Later, Lao Meng said that he would stay at home to serve the two old people and asked his sister to accompany them to the snowy mountains.
In addition, the old lady also wanted Meng Xiaodie to go out and see the world, so she decided on the final candidate.
After lunch, a group of people rode on horses. Shopkeeper Jin, Jin Wuming and Meng Xiaodie sat on the carriage and slowly left Lantian Villa and headed for Chang'an City.
Shopkeeper Jin said slowly: "I'm going to Chang'an City now. I wonder what your chances are of winning the battle tonight?"
Jin Wuming thought for a while and replied: "About 50%."
Shopkeeper Jin was thinking about what happened a few days ago, and thought that the couple at Qifeng Villa might still be in Chang'an City.
He couldn't help but said with some worry: "I think the couple at Qifeng Villa are waiting for the battle tonight in Chang'an, hoping to get a result from Young Master and Wang Yi."
Jin Wuming shook his head and replied: "That's all their business, I can't control it."
Meng Xiaodie, who was sitting aside, was a little puzzled and asked, "Sir, will they take advantage of you and rob Wang Yi after you finish fighting with him?"
Shopkeeper Jin on the side thought for a while and sighed.
He replied coldly: "It would be better if they don't take action. As long as they dare to take action, there is no need to go to the snow mountain."
Not to mention that Meng Xiaodie is here today. He alone can overthrow those ignorant guys on the snow mountain.
After decades of not taking action, no one knew that Shopkeeper Jin was also a ruthless person in Lantian Villa.
Jin Wuming smiled lightly: "If I'm not wrong, the shopkeeper of Hongchen Inn will also be there. With her here, you don't have to worry about me."
In his opinion, he had been at Hongchen Inn for ten years and had gotten along well with the shopkeeper and Amu. Qin Xiangyu should be able to uphold justice for him at this critical moment.
It was already midnight when the group arrived at the door of Hongchen Inn.
Amu, who was sitting alone at the counter, seemed to have known for a long time that Ajue would pass by at this hour, and asked the waiter in the inn to deliver the prepared meals to the carriage.
It was still a bit hot in Chang'an City during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Fortunately, the sun was about to set, so when the group of people climbed the mountain, it would not be so hot.
Amu looked at Ajue and Meng Xiaodie who got off the carriage and smiled lightly: "The shopkeeper has already gone ahead. You can go up the mountain from the path in the temple under the snow-capped mountain."
Ah Jue bowed deeply after hearing this: "You don't want to go with me? This is Meng Xiaodie. If I can go down to the snowy mountains this time, I will marry her."
Meng Xiaodie saw that Ajue was so polite to a waiter, so she had no choice but to salute accordingly.
He asked in confusion: "Didn't it mean that Wang Yi also found a girl who likes him? Where is she?"
"She? They have already gone to the snow mountain."
Amu looked at the two of them and replied: "It's interesting to say that Wang Yi also has an interesting woman waiting for him, waiting to marry him after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
In Amu's opinion, the full moon night of Mid-Autumn Festival should have been full of flowers and full moon.
But this decisive battle, which has lasted for ten years, is destined to be bloody tonight, and lovers and dreams will inevitably have their flaws.
When Meng Xiaodie heard that everyone had gone to the snowy mountains, she couldn't help but look at Ajue and said, "Since everyone has gone, we have to speed up."
Ah Jue looked at A Mu and sighed: "It would be a great pity not to have you in this battle."
He and Wang Yi had made such a big noise. After all, it was impossible to hide it from the many swordsmen and monks in Chang'an City. There were probably countless people guarding the snow mountain today.
But his friend who has been with him for ten years cannot watch the battle in person, which is really difficult for Ah Jue.
Amu waved to the two of them and said with a smile: "It's too early for the full moon. You go up the mountain and feed your stomach first. I'll wait for you to come back."
Amu waved his hand, turned around and walked back to the inn.
His words of "I'm waiting for you to come back" were not only addressed to Ah Jue and Meng Xiaodie, but also to Wang Yi, Ye Xiaoqian and others.
On such a good day and full moon night, in his opinion, all lovers should be blessed.
At least, he sincerely blessed the two people in front of him and the two people who went to the snow-capped mountains.
Meng Xiaodie was stunned, looked at Amu's back and said to Ajue: "Master, your friend is so weird, isn't he?"
Ah Jue smiled faintly, turned around and got on the carriage, while softly replying: "Because he is A Mu, the only A Mu in the world."
…
The mountains are as white as snow, this is Ye Xiaoqian's current thought.
Following Qin Xiangyu all the way up the mountain, Ye Xiaoqian couldn't help but be startled when she saw Xiao Guang's confused appearance and the apricot trees on both sides of the mountain road.
Looking at Gao Yue'er who was walking in front, she shouted: "Sister Yue'er, the spring here must be beautiful. Next spring, I want to come here to see the flowers."
Gao Yue'er turned around and smiled: "I have nothing to do with Sister Qingyu about this matter. I have to ask my husband in winter."
"Is it the mysterious owner of No. 47 that Sister Xiangyu said?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoqian giggled and said, "When he comes back, ask me if I can come to the mountains to pick flowers for you?"
Qingyu, who walked to the front, thought about it for a while, with a strange smile on his face.
He said to him: "I can make the decision for you, sir, but you have to come up to the mountain in a few days and prune the apricot trees all over the mountain..."
Gao Yue'er also replied after hearing this: "Yes, if you help my husband prune the apricot trees all over the mountain, my husband will definitely allow you to come and live in the mountain for a few days in spring and summer."
When Xiaoguang heard this, he looked at Ye Xiaoqian and laughed: "You have to think clearly, this is hard work?"
"That's bullshit hard work. I have to come to the mountain to do pruning every year."
Qin Xiangyu looked at Xiaoguang and cursed: "If you don't want to help, you won't be able to eat the apricots on this mountain next summer. The apricots here are the most delicious in Chang'an."
Whether it's flower viewing in spring or picking apricots in summer, these are the things Qin Xiangyu and her three daughters like to do the most.
The only drawback is that you have to prune branches and fertilize in autumn.
Because Li Xiuyuan told them that if the three of them didn't want to do these things, he would cut down all the apricot trees in the mountain and plant them all with purple bamboo.
He said that purple bamboo is easy to take care of, and he doesn't need to think about pruning it every autumn.
Thinking of Xing'er, he would leave at most a few trees on the mountain and take care of them himself.
As soon as he said this, Qin Xiangyu, Qingyu, and Gao Yuerer had no choice but to undertake these things obediently.
Fortunately, Li Xiuyuan is not a hands-off shopkeeper. As long as he is around, he will come to the mountains to take care of it himself.
When Ye Xiaoqian heard this, she immediately waved to Xiaoguang.
He smiled and said, "You don't need to come. I will take Wang Yi to do these things when the time comes. From now on, spring and summer will have nothing to do with you."
Now Ye Xiaoqian not only cured Wang Yi's laziness, she also managed Xiaoguang obediently.
Before Xiaoguang could reply, the group had already arrived in front of the Purple Bamboo Garden on the mountainside.
It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are bursts of cicada chirping in the garden. The autumn chrysanthemums planted outside the garden are in full bloom, giving people a quiet and beautiful feeling.
Ye Xiaoqian took Qin Xiangyu's hand and wanted to rush in. She didn't want to be bounced back instantly like she hit the wall.
Qin Xiangyu looked at her and laughed: "This is Li Xiuyuan's territory. I don't dare to take you in until he nods. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Qingyu."
Qingyu pointed to the wooden shed on the stone flat not far ahead and said, "There is an open space there. I asked a man to find you a shed a few days ago. Let's go there."
Gao Yue'er turned to look at Ye Xiaoqian's unwilling expression and shook her head.
He said seriously: "If you are not afraid of death, just rush in. I will not take you in until my husband comes back, and neither will my senior sister."
Xiaoguang crossed Ye Xiaoqian and ran towards the stone flat in the mountains.
While laughing, he said: "The master is not at home. If you break in like this, you are a thief. Do you understand?"
Ye Xiaoqian was so angry that she cursed: "Xiaoguang, I think your skin is itchy. After tonight, I won't take care of you properly."
Qin Xiangyu looked at Baili Ruyan who was walking not far behind him and waved: "Sister Ruyan, come up quickly, I'm waiting for you here."
Ignoring Xiaoguang and Ye Xiaoqian who were acting like lunatics, Qin Xiangyu had to wait here for a group of guests in the inn who came to watch the fun.
Otherwise, she wouldn't need to ask Qingyu to find someone to build a temporary wooden shed here.
After Baili Ruyan replied to Qin Xiangyu, she looked at Luo Xiaoxing beside her and sighed.
He said quietly: "I never imagined that there is a paradise on top of this snow-capped mountain."
Luo Xiaoxing nodded and replied: "When I get home, I will also plant a hundred apricot trees. Then I will let you enjoy the flowers and apricots."
…
As dusk approached, the group from Lantian Villa arrived under the snow-capped mountains.
There was already a maid from Hongchen Inn guarding the edge of the mountain road.
Seeing a group of people coming, he stepped forward and asked: "May I ask who is the master of Lantian Villa? Our shopkeeper asked me to take you up the mountain."
After getting off the carriage, Jin Wuming stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Please take us up."
Now Jin Wuming is no longer the Ajue in Hongchen Inn.
Naturally, the new maid could not recognize Jin Wuming, who had regained his previous appearance.
A group of people walked along the winding stone paths in the mountains accompanied by the chirping of cicadas and unknown insects.
Although the night fog was gradually rising, Meng Xiaodie still couldn't help but praise: "Sir, compared with Lantian Villa, this place has a different scenery, right?"
Although the leaves of the apricot trees on both sides of the mountain road have fallen off, the skylight has fallen from the mountain and shines through the gaps in the branches on the stone steps, making it look quiet and beautiful.
The mountain breeze brought a touch of coolness on the snow-capped mountains, and the temperature suddenly dropped a lot. Compared with the sweltering heat of Chang'an City, it was a completely different world.
As Ye Xiaoqian said, this place is a paradise.
Meng Xiaodie was even thinking that if she and Jin Wuming came here to enjoy the flowers when spring comes tomorrow, such a beautiful scene would make her sigh softly.
Said: "I never thought that the snow-capped mountains in Chang'an would have such a beautiful scenery."
At this moment, Jin Wuming was thinking about Amu in the Hongchen Inn, thinking that on such a beautiful night, Mo said that he would have a fight with Wang Yi next.
Even walking into the mountains is a beautiful thing.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Next time, I will bring Amu with me for a stroll."
Meng Xiaodie was stunned. She didn't expect that Jin Wuming would think of Amu in the inn on the night of the decisive battle.
After thinking for a while, he could only nod and reply: "That's fine. It's a beautiful thing to have a friend in such beautiful scenery, make a pot of tea and enjoy the flowers and mountains."
While the two were chatting, Qin Xiangyu's voice came from the front: "I said, you guys must have arrived too late. You are about to climb up the mountain when you see the moon."
When Jin Wuming heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "I didn't expect that the shopkeeper would greet me in person. Ah Jue's face must be a little bigger, right?"
After that, he introduced to shopkeeper Jin and Meng Xiaodie behind him: "The woman at the intersection ahead is the shopkeeper of Hongchen Inn."
When Meng Xiaodie heard this, she immediately ran forward quickly and said hello, "Meng Xiaodie has met Sister Qin."
Jin Wuming thought for a while and asked from a distance: "Shopkeeper Qin, I wonder if that guy Wang Yi is here? Where is he at this time?"
