The road is long, foggy and swampy, and the rolling clouds and mountains look like fairy islands.
This is how the Bi sisters felt about the mountains of Shu in the early morning when they went down the mountain.
Yafeng Village is very quiet in the early morning. There are only a few people on the empty streets, flickering in and out of the morning fog. You can't even notice a carriage driving in the fog.
The carriage left the village entrance and headed towards the Chengdu government office. It is more than dozens of miles from Qingcheng Mountain to Chengdu Prefecture, and it can be reached by horse-drawn carriage in one day.
After rising and falling, they rushed for a day, and finally entered the city gate with the last wave before the darkness faded.
The Chengdu government office has arranged various customs clearance documents in advance. Miss Yu and Li Zhanyi have also been preparing for several days, waiting for the 'Hero of Sichuan' to arrive, but they look left and right for this hero to step on his tail. Come.
Yu Xiaowei had a bad impression of him to begin with. After this incident, she felt that this guy was a wolfish and unreliable bad Taoist priest who had nothing but good looks.
She could have not followed Zhao Daochang all the way back to Beijing, but she could not resist the order of Shangshu's father to let her go with him to gain some goodwill. After all, the seats of the three saints in the temple were also the emperor's favorites. If he could not win over, he could not offend him.
For forcing her to do something she didn't want to do, the blame must be blamed on the bad Taoist priest, but it can't be written on his face. Thinking about walking thousands of miles with him later, and thinking about his unique and offbeat habits, Yu Xiaowei felt hairy all over.
The bad Taoist priest didn't know that he had lost his weight in the heart of Yu Meiren, so he spent the night repairing in the government office and set off on time the next morning.
Some of the armored cavalry were missing. Taoist Zhao thought he had died in the line of duty. He didn't ask how he was doing. Miss Yu was angry when he asked. It turned out that the mountains and rivers on the Jinniu Ancient Road were dangerous and the luan sedan could not pass. The armored cavalry escort had already detoured to Xingyuan Mansion in Lizhou County to wait. Several people took the Luan sedan from Xingyuan Prefecture and took the Tangluo Ancient Road to Jingzhao Prefecture, and then changed to the water route when they arrived at Tongguan.
Zhao Zhengli suddenly realized, but he knew that the road to Shu was difficult, so why wait for him? He only calculated his traveling speed, but he never thought that they would wait and follow him.
He wanted to ask, but looked at Yu Xiaowei's angry look and gave up the idea. As the Six Taoists said, give in when things happen and don't fight with the common people!
The matter has come to this, there is no point in arguing, so take it easy.
Without the Luan sedan, several people each ride a horse. The breed is not considered excellent, but it has good endurance. It is most suitable for trekking through mountains and rivers on the Shu Road.
The government guards sent a group of people out of the city with great momentum; the momentum was overwhelming, disturbing the entire Chengdu Prefecture. Many people bid farewell to the heroes and entered the capital. Some were familiar and some were not familiar with them. They also harvested a lot of fruits and snacks, which were used as rations on the road. , until the luggage of Zhao Zhengli and the Bi sisters was full, he wanted Yu Xiaowei and others to decorate it, but he held back again when he saw the reluctant look on her face.
There was also a gift of money; it was just rejected by Daochang Zhao. It was not that he was arrogant. On the contrary, he became more and more fond of money after exchanging gifts with several senior brothers. But it was just that accepting money in public clearly showed that he wanted to be a corrupt official. He had not been so bold before entering Kyoto. In the future, Still okay?
So the Taoist priest is very knowledgeable.
The beauty of the Yu family rode a bumpy horse in front of the cavalry escort. She wanted to keep a distance from the annoying guy, but also remembered her father's letter telling him not to offend. It seemed that she was bound to have to act on the spot during the trip back to Beijing.
She suppressed a smile to encourage herself, and she was instantly charming.
Senior Sister Emei who accompanied her was full of doubts. She hadn't relaxed her brows for several days. Why did she suddenly smile today? Just be happy that this young lady is back in Beijing!
The group went out of Shangguan Road from the north gate and passed through three flat areas of Guanghan, Deyang and Mianzhou. They rode at a very fast speed. After leaving Mianzhou, they entered Lizhou County. They checked the route and identity at the checkpoint. There are some places in this county. It is the old Ba Kingdom, and it is still overlapping and steep mountains. You have to cross the Jianmen Pass, the "most powerful pass in the world" where the peaks meet, and then walk hundreds of miles to enter Xingyuan Prefecture, so it is named "Hanzhong". In ancient times, heroes competed for the throne. This land, together with Bashu, is known as the "Two Natural Granaries". It borders the Qinling Mountains to the north and the Micang and Daba Mountains to the south.
The road is long, and there are many merchants and monks walking along the ancient road. Most of them are located at inns. At the forks, there are resting teahouses, horse grass and cool water, one for people and one for horses.
At this moment, the group is close to the west of Micang Mountain.
It was getting dark, and Yu Xiaowei consulted Daochang Zhao for his opinion. He settled in Zitong County in the south of Lizhou County. There is a river named Zijiang in the county, and a mountain a few miles outside the county called Qiqu Peak. There is a Xianwang Temple on the peak, and in the temple there is One person is named Zhang Ziya.
At that time, Zhang Ziya stood at the top of the Xianwang Temple and watched several people enter the city. An iron gun stood beside him, and the red tassel undulated with the night wind, as if he had understood the emotions of its owner, and the cold light shone.
Zitong County is a fortress on the Shu Road. There are merchants from the north and south, and there are many tourists in the rivers and lakes. The inns and restaurants in the county are prosperous. Several people found a pleasant inn to stay. The owner of the inn also noticed that this group of people was extraordinary and arranged for a clever waiter to entertain them.
After a day of observation by Daochang Zhao, the Yu family's cavalry system was strict and they were escorted and alerted for a whole day. They did not even relax in eating, and after eating in three or five bites, they all went to their places and waited quietly for Miss Yu's arrangements.
In contrast, Taoist Zhao was too leisurely and even had a drink. The Bi sisters were chewing slowly beside him, and Yu Xiaowei and Li Zhanyi were equally leisurely.
The Bi sisters were always uncomfortable sitting at the same table. Their face was not as good as Miss Yu's, and their figure was not as good as that of Li Zhanyi, which made them feel like they were defeated in their competition for beauty.
Daochang Zhao thought they were being reserved, so he took the initiative to chat with them.
Unexpectedly, the young lady from the Yu family struck up a conversation for the first time, her tone of voice was very stiff, and she seemed to be trying to force a relationship. Her stiff smile also made people feel like they were bathing in spring breeze, and had a unique charm.
Li Zhanyi understood from the moment she forcibly integrated that the problem must lie with Yu Shangshu in the capital.
Although Daochang Zhao felt it was abnormal, he didn't think deeply about it. It was good to get along well with each other, no matter what he meant, he was still acting.
After dinner, Yu Xiaowei arranged for a cavalry escort, said "Sleep in peace" to everyone, then closed the door and entered the house.
Not long after, Li Zhanyi also said goodbye and returned to the house, leaving Taoist Zhao and the Bi sisters behind who were still eating and drinking.
Biyu finally couldn't help but speak out: "Is this young lady from the Yu family trying to build a relationship with us? Is there any deceit?"
Birou quickly stopped her in a low voice: "Biyu, please be quiet. We don't have any deep hatred against Miss Yu. It's just that she has a small misunderstanding with the Taoist priest. After getting along for a long time, she naturally knows that Taoist priest Zhao just has a bad mouth, and it's not what she imagined." So bad!"
"..."
Taoist priest Zhao was ashamed.
When he was about to defend himself, the two sisters used the excuse of preparing tea oil and sulfur to escape.
The Taoist leader was left alone to reflect on himself. He admitted that his words were bad and his mind was sometimes bad, but he had never done anything bad! He had nowhere to complain, so he drank another glass of soju in depression. When he returned to the house, the sisters of the Bi family had prepared tea oil and sulfur water.
Seeing the white-faced Taoist Priest entering the room, Biyu said, "Taoist Priest, do you need to undress for you?"
Taoist priest Zhao finally found an opportunity for revenge, with a wicked smile on his handsome face: "Since the two sisters are really bad people in their hearts, I might as well be more evil today and let me see if my sister's mountains are tall and straight, and whether the canyons are deep!"
After saying this, the bad Taoist priest rolled up his sleeves and licked his lips evilly, scaring the two sisters into running away in a hurry.
Birou said in a weird voice: "How can we be qualified? We don't have the figure of Senior Li, nor the appearance of Miss Yu. I'm afraid we won't be able to get into the eyes of the Taoist Master."
The Taoist priest explained: "Everyone has his or her own strengths. They might even envy you both."
The two sisters were startled: "Why do you envy us?"
"I envy you two for being able to serve me every day!"
"..."
In the end, the two sisters failed to undress the bad Taoist priest, and the bad Taoist priest also did not untie the two sisters. After a fight, the bad Taoist priest sent them away.
As the inn lit up the lamps and candles, the town gradually became quiet, with the occasional group of hurried pedestrians.
The moonlight shone slantingly on the city wall of the town. A figure jumped up, holding a red tassel spear, and jumped into the town in twos and twos. It passed over the roofs of the houses like the wind, making no sound, and stood upright in front of Zhao Zhengli. The roof of someone else’s residence.
Zhao Zhengli glanced at the house and ignored it. He knew someone would come forward.
Within a few breaths, a woman in gorgeous clothes jumped up to the roof, looked at the man holding a red tassel spear from afar, and asked tactfully: "Who are you? Why did you visit this place late at night?"
The man didn't beat around the bush and explained his purpose: "I'm Zhang Ziya of Xianwang Temple in Qiqu Peak. I heard that there is a Zhao Yingxiong in Shu who was not defeated by the puppet grand master of Nanzhao. I want to try this spear!"
The person who came forward was Emei Senior Sister Li Zhanyi. The attractiveness of a noble lady was always so dazzling, which made Zhang Ziya stare straight in his eyes. He was more than seven feet tall, in his early thirties, with a small beard and a green suit. He wears a Confucian shirt and has a plain face, but his demeanor is aloof.
Taoist priest Zhao opened the window and looked at the two people on the roof, leisurely chewing the fruits given by the people of Chengdu Prefecture: "Are you looking for me to simply fight? Or to preach? Or to ask questions?"
Zhang Ziya was stunned: "Do you still need a reason? I just want to test my abilities and see if I can go north to defend myself against the enemy."
Daochang Zhao climbed up to the window and sat down by the window: "Why don't you just go north to fight the enemy? You have to find me to test the gun first. If I don't pass by here, will you never go north for the rest of your life? Besides, what if I don't take the handle?" If you were beaten to death, would you regret it for the rest of your life?"
Zhang Ziya was a little impatient and pointed the gun at him: "Do you just want to fight or not?"
Li Zhanyi silently held the two blades of the Yuanyang with both hands, and Zhang Ziya said with pity: "This female hero, please don't get involved in this matter, so as not to hurt the heroine."
Zhao Zhengli stretched his body and said, "You are as old as your temper. You are very hot-tempered and will not change. I think you will be like this for the rest of your life. You are quite lustful, but you have great taste in following me."
Li Zhanyi's eyebrows were furrowed, and she was even more charming. She scolded Daozhang Zhao, "Have you had enough? I still want to go to bed early!"
Before Taoist Zhao could react, Zhang Ziya's eyes widened and he looked at Li Zhanyi and Taoist Zhao in disbelief: "Sleeping together? Are you two Taoist couples?"
The two of them were startled at first, and then Senior Sister Emei suddenly became angry when she realized something was wrong. She raised a mandarin duck and chopped it at him: "Sleep with your sister! The ears are long and don't work. I'll take them off for you."
The belated Taoist priest laughed and was confused: "A strong man has good eyesight! We are Taoists."
The two of them were already standing together on the roof, and their words happened to be overheard by Yu Xiaowei and others who came from the courtyard below.
Daochang Zhao's smile stopped suddenly, and he saw the shocked faces one after another; he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in, so he smiled awkwardly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
Yu Xiaowei didn't answer, just frowned.
The Bi sisters saw him sitting by the window, then went back upstairs, entered his room and came to the window. The two sisters looked at Daozhang Zhao in silence. When he saw this, he asked: "Why are you two looking so sad? That's the place downstairs." Are you two bitches bullying you two?"
The two sisters shook their heads, and Daoist Zhao finally felt relieved: "I'm sorry she doesn't dare to touch my people!"
The two sisters blushed when they heard "my people". Zhao Daochang looked at the fighting outside the window and turned around and asked, "Why are you two blushing?"
The sisters of the Bi family still shook their heads, but with a little shame on their faces. Taoist priest Zhao didn't think much, and then watched the battle on the roof outside the window. After a while, Biyu suddenly asked: "Taoist priest, do all men like plump bodies like Senior Li?" posture?"
The Taoist priest replied without thinking: "That's right! She has big breasts, a perky butt, and a small waist."
Biyu hurriedly asked: "Taoist Master also likes it?"
Realizing the problem, the bad director turned his head and said, "It's just average!"
"Why is it called ordinary?"
“Because it’s a waste of money and hurts your body!”
"...Taoist priest, have you tried it?"
"..."
The battle outside was coming to an end. Zhang Ziya danced with his spear, and Li Zhan and his scimitars flew across the sky, forming an arc in the night sky. With the amazing infuriating energy, the spear collided with each other, causing violent infuriating sparks. Zhan Yi followed closely behind and used the palm of his hand to strike out, leaving an afterimage on the spot. He grabbed the roundabout scimitar and fought at close range. Zhang Ziya was forced to retreat step by step. His clothes were full of cuts, and there were even some wounds. Seeing blood in several places, Zhang Ziya quickly distanced himself a few meters away and shouted: "No fight, no fight!"
Li Zhanyi didn't seem to hear him. He stepped forward and cut a few times before stopping.
Zhang Ziya cried out in pain.
Daochang Zhao at the window saw it clearly, and the last few cuts were clearly filled with personal anger. He secretly thought that this woman was cruel enough, but fortunately it did not hurt any vital parts, but it was enough to hurt him for a while.
The embarrassed Zhang Ziya stood in the distance, still a little dissatisfied, because he had not yet competed with Daochang Zhao, and he did not think that the spear in his hand would lose to the young pretty face.
Daochang Zhao naturally saw the clues and grinned: "You can't even defeat her, how can you have the nerve to challenge me?"
This was obviously an attempt to step down on Senior Sister Emei to improve himself, but Li Zhanyi did not refute. No matter how stupid Zhang Ziya was, he could still understand the twists and turns. Either he was really powerful, or this woman was covering up for him. No matter what, he couldn't win this fight.
In fact, Li Zhanyi has never been convinced in her heart. Most of her defeats in Qingcheng Mountain last time were due to underestimation of the enemy. Moreover, both sides did not engage in a serious fight. Due to the current situation, she just took it for granted. stepping stone.
Zhang Ziya turned around and was about to leave, but Daochang Zhao stopped him: "Wait a minute!"
Zhang Ziya thought he had changed his mind and turned his head to challenge: "What? Fight?"
Daochang Zhao looked at his embarrassed look and said, "You damaged someone's roof. You have to pay for it!"
"Half for each."
Zhang Ziya threw down a few pieces of broken silver and was about to run away. Zhao Zhengli stretched out a claw of his true energy and pulled him back. Then Zhang Ziya felt his eyes blur. The next moment, the pretty boy who was hundreds of meters away came to him in the blink of an eye. He grabbed him by the collar and said, "Damn it, you took the initiative to start a fight, not only delayed my sleep, but also asked me to share the loss equally? That's unreasonable!"
Zhang Ziya was so shocked that he only had the word 'pervert' in his mind to describe what he had just done. He was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll pay for it all, I'll pay for it all!"
Li Zhanyi, who was watching on the sidelines, was also shocked. She didn't expect Zhao Zhengli to act so decisively. The key was just using the true energy to transform into the air to detect objects. She thought she couldn't do it. Earlier she had thought of a serious battle. A little shaken at the moment.
Yu Xiaowei and the cavalry guards were even more shocked. They had only seen this technique in the palace, and every one of them was an old monster. But this guy is so young, how could it be possible?
What the bad Taoist leader wanted was a deterrent effect, so he grabbed Zhang Ziya by the collar and said, "There is also money to scare you."
He asked with a grimace: "What are you disturbing Qian for?"
Daochang Zhao pointed at Yu Xiaowei and other onlookers: "You woke up so many people, why don't you compensate?"
Zhang Ziya was about to cry but had no tears: "I will give it, I will give it!"
The onlookers were also speechless. It was the first time they heard that you could get money by watching the fun.
Zhang Ziya left a few banknotes and returned in embarrassment. After he left, Taoist Zhao began to regret, worried that if he went back to bring in reinforcements, wouldn't he be stirring up a hornet's nest because he was unfamiliar with the place?
His worries were unnecessary, because he stayed all night without seeing any revenge, and instead tortured himself all night long.
