Zhu Youzhen, the king of Qin, wanted to visit Huashan, which made Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi who was temporarily guarding Tongguan, worried.

In fact, the biggest magistrate in Shaanxi was not him, but Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides. However, Wu Zhiwang came to Tongguan to meet the King of Qin, but he was closed, and he was worried that the thieves in Shaanxi would threaten Xi'an, so he had to hurry back. On the return trip, he also told Gan Xuekuoqian that he must be optimistic about King Qin and not go on any more errands.

A few days ago, Zhu Youzhen was quite honest, and he didn't go anywhere in the house. Since Gan Xuekuo can't see him, he is also happy to enjoy leisure. As for the thieves in Shaanxi and Shanxi who are like locusts crossing the border, Gan Xuekuo doesn't bother to pay attention to it. Anyway, the emperor blamed him, and he also had Wu Zhiwang to stand up, as long as he firmly guarded Tongguan, it would be done.

But Zhu Youzhen suddenly proposed to visit Huashan, and Gan Xuekuo's heart immediately rose to his throat. He knows that thieves love to drill into the mountains, although he has not heard that there are thieves in Huashan, but he is not afraid of 10,000 in case. In case King Qin makes another mistake, he will not have enough heads to cut off the apocalypse.

So Gan Xuekuo had to go to the mansion where Zhu Youzhen was temporarily staying, and under the pretext that the surroundings were not peaceful, he persuaded him not to travel.

But Zhu Youzhen had already agreed to Rui'er and the others, who was willing to lose face in front of several beauties. So he smiled at Gan Xuekuo and said, "Lord Governor, didn't the thieves all cross the river to Shanxi?" ”

Gan Xuekuo was very angry when he saw that Zhu Youjian didn't open which pot to mention. But he didn't dare to talk back to Zhu Youzhen, so he could only repeatedly say something like "be careful to make a ship for ten thousand years".

In the end, Zhu Youzhen was annoyed, slapped the table and said: "Are you the prince or I am the prince, who has the final say?" Today, this king has to go to Huashan, and I will bear it myself if something happens, and I have nothing to do with the governor! If it is stopped again, the king will play a book to Banzai, saying that the lord will illegally detain the king! ”

This Gan Xuekuo has no real talent and learning, let alone the literati style of the Donglin Party, and only relies on slapping Wei Zhongxian and flattering him to climb to a high position. At this time, seeing that Zhu Youzhen was angry, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word anymore, so he had to retreat and go down to make detailed arrangements.

Zhu Youzhen scared away Gan Xuekuo, and he was also a little complacent, thinking that he was really not in vain as a prince, and he could finally have the final say. Otherwise, everyone wants to climb high, and the taste of power is too tempting!

But just as Zhu Youzhen was about to go out, he only heard a noise outside, Gan Xuekuo came back and said flatteringly: "Your Highness, everything has been arranged, please move to the car with Your Highness and the princess!" ”

Zhu Youzhen led Rui'er, Bao Yulian, and Catherine out of the mansion, looked down the street, and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. It turned out that Gan Xuekuo was like a great enemy, put the entire Tongguan city under martial law, and ordered He Renlong to send troops to block the streets, and drove all the people who were buying and selling on the streets back home to make way for Zhu Youzhen.

This is not the end, Tongguan is about 20 miles away from Huayin County at the foot of Huashan Mountain, and Gan Xuekuo has blocked the official road of these 20 miles, and the loess mat road is only for Zhu Youzhen's travel. As for the mountain of Huashan, it is also five steps and one post, and ten steps and one sentry, for fear that there will be thieves hiding in the dark to assassinate.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't cry or laugh, thinking about his original intention, he just went out for a walk casually, but he didn't expect Gan Xuekuo to make such a big move. How much manpower does this toss take, and how many people's livelihoods have to be delayed! He originally wanted to see the scene in the market and observe the local people's feelings, but now it was all in vain.

This is very much like the inspection work of some leaders in the previous life, which was all arranged from top to bottom, and even the ordinary people visited by the leaders, as well as seemingly irrelevant passers-by, were all trusted. The fact that the leaders go around in a big circle and think that they have gone deep into the masses is actually just a trick to deceive themselves and others.

Gan Xuekuo consciously arranged it properly, and looked at Zhu Youzhen with blank eyes, wanting to get two words of praise. Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait to kick him hard in the face, secretly thinking that these officials were like mobile cameras, monitoring him all the time! When you arrive at the palace, the first thing you need to do is to find a way to get rid of these hated officials; Otherwise, if you want to do something big, you have to let them stir it up.

At this time, Sun Chuanting and Li Zicheng also rushed over when they heard the news. Especially Li Zicheng, who also knew Zhu Youzhen's true identity at this time, couldn't help but be afraid and surprised. What I was afraid of was that I didn't know Mount Tai because I had eyes, and I walked with the prince for many days. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, if you were slightly offended at that time, your head would have moved long ago.

And the good thing is that the relationship was not bad before, especially this time in Ruicheng County, Zhu Youzhen also sacrificed his life to save him. Li Zicheng felt that if he climbed the high branch of Zhu Youzhen, there would be great hope for the revival of the Shaanxi merchant gang in the future, so he welcomed Zhu Youzhen even more.

Zhu Youzhen welcomed Sun Chuanting and Li Zicheng very much, and took the opportunity to ask why Li Zicheng was trapped in Ruicheng. It turned out that Li Zicheng went to Ruicheng to collect a big account of 100,000 taels of silver, but the business partner had been killed by thieves and his whole family, not only confiscated the silver, but almost put himself in. Mentioning this matter, Li Zicheng couldn't help but thank Zhu Youzhen again.

Several people rode horses and walked side by side, and soon came to Huayin County at the foot of Huashan Mountain. After incense at the Xiyue Temple at the foot of the mountain, Zhu Youzhen climbed the stairs with everyone and began to climb Mount Hua.

This Huashan is a Taoist holy place, there are more than 20 Taoist temples on the mountain, and there is an endless stream of good men and women and tourists from all over the world. It's just that today in order to make way for Zhu Youzhen, Gan Xuekuo sealed the entire Huashan again, so except for Zhu Youzhen and his party, not a single mountaineer could be seen.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt bored, thinking that this Gan Xuekuo was too beautiful. You must know that the visitor itself is also a beautiful scenery, especially when climbing the mountain, if there are beautiful female tourists walking in front, they can also sneak behind, enjoy the graceful posture of others, and even peek at the looming scenery under the skirt, which is also a great obscene fun.

It's good now, it's all ruined by Gan Xuekuo. There are also a lot of officers and soldiers on this mountain, and there are people on duty wherever they go, Zhu Youzhen originally fantasized about fighting a field battle with all the beauties and playing a 3P, but it has all come to naught. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he simply threw Gan Xuekuo at the foot of the mountain and strictly forbade him to continue to follow him up the mountain.

However, there are also advantages to fewer people, at least not like Golden Week, where you look at the back of your head. Several people walked up the mountain, and their mood gradually broadened. Especially Catherine, who grew up in Europe since she was a child, had never seen such a majestic mountain, laughed and shouted excitedly, and ran far ahead.

After walking for a while, Zhu Youzhen gradually felt a little struggling. In particular, there is no stone steps here, all dirt roads, extremely steep and steep, you must grasp the thorns on the side with your hands to climb up.

Rui'er was afraid that Zhu Youzhen would make a mistake, so she protected each other tightly, but made Zhu Youzhen blush, secretly thinking that if she changed to her previous life, she should be the other way around, and she should be a flower messenger.

Finally, after eighteen sets, Zhu Youzhen was so tired that he sat on the ground and refused to get up again. Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Your Highness, we haven't gone far yet, we still have to pass through Qingkeping, Huixinshi, Qianqi Building, Baiqi Gorge, Laojun Furrow, climb the ladder, and then walk up to the north peak." As for the middle peak and the south peak, the road is farther and more dangerous. ”

Zhu Youzhen secretly complained to himself, thinking that he really shouldn't have come to climb this Huashan. It's not like in the previous life, you can still take a cable car or something. With my small physique, I'm afraid that if I walk a little longer, I will fall apart.

At this moment, Catherine's voice floated over from afar: "Lord, don't rest!" Aren't you as good as a girl? ”

Zhu Youzhen's face was red when he boarded, and he struggled to get up and strode forward, and soon caught up with Catherine. But seeing that she was drenched in sweat, she was radiant, and smiled brightly at Zhu Youzhen: "Lord Wang, let's have a good competition, see who can reach the peak first!" ”

The two walked forward together with a smile, but Rui'er quietly grabbed Bao Yulian and asked mysteriously: "Sister, do you say that the prince is interested in Catherine?" ”

"According to the prince's temperament, it is very possible!" Bao Yulian said with a smile.

"Then let's not follow too closely and leave some space for the prince!" Rui'er smiled.

"Aren't you jealous?" Bao Yulian saw that Sun Chuanting and the others were still farther behind, so he asked boldly.

"No!" Rui'er said half-seriously, half-jokingly, "In my sister's heart, the prince is a big man and a big hero, I can't be so selfish to possess him alone!" If my sister is like that, what can my sister do? ”

"What to do!" Bao Yulian was embarrassed and ran forward with a red face!

A few people talked and laughed, although sweating like rain, they didn't feel tired, and finally climbed a nameless hill, and the peak of the north peak was already in sight.

Catherine pulled Zhu Youzhen onto a boulder on the side of the road and smiled at him: "Lord, you are also very good!" If you give up early, you won't be able to walk here and you won't be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. No matter how difficult the road is, if you go down step by step, you can still reach the end! ”

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he suddenly felt a huge shock in his heart, firmly grasped Catherina's hand, and looked intently at the peak. When I looked at the foot of the mountain just now, the peak was covered with clouds and mist, and I couldn't see it clearly; At this time, it seems to be close at hand, as if it is within reach.

At this moment, the problem that had plagued Zhu Youzhen for many days was finally solved. That's right, no matter how difficult the road is, as long as you go step by step, you will eventually succeed! The emperor's throne seems unattainable, but as long as you work tirelessly and add a little ingenuity, the god of fate will definitely favor you! Otherwise, why would she let herself go to such great lengths to cross over!

At this time, Rui'er, Bao Yulian, Sun Chuanting and others also followed. Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was still holding her hand, Ekaterina was embarrassed for a while, and said softly: "Lord Wang, you grabbed my hand so painful!" ”

Zhu Youzhen woke up in shock, but he was already in good spirits, and laughed at Sun Chuanting: "Sir, I don't know if this hill has a name?" ”

Sun Chuanting was stunned: "It's nameless here. ”

"Since I scratched your hand, I have to admit my mistake." Zhu You looked at Ekaterina and said gratefully, "Then call this place 'Siguo Cliff'!" ”
