Chapter 09: Go Away in Style
"Speaking of which, the Tusi to the court to pay tribute, but also often get the court rich rewards, such as that Yang Yinglong, at the beginning of the year to the court to the court a total of 70 beautiful wood, the emperor felt his loyalty, gave the flying fish suit, the hussar general, the appointment of the commander.
But because of the grace of God, I took care of my family and let Mrs. be able to enshrine the edict, I think in addition to Mrs. Xiangxiang back then, there is only you Mrs. Xia, hehe, congratulations, congratulations......"
Song Tiandao's father, Song Yingming, smiled and said to Mrs. Xia, who humbly said: "Where, isn't this because the clumsy husband had just been sealed the year before last, so it is not appropriate to be rewarded frequently?" The love of the court, the concubine is willing to be added to her husband, and it is nothing whether she is a wife or not. ”
Xia Yingying picked and chosen, but she ate a few bites of the delicious dishes, the amount of food was like a kitten, and after listening to her mother's words, she put down the ivory chopsticks and said: "Mother, no matter how big the father is, the officials are not all empty, anyway, there are so many territories, and there are so many people. ”
Song Tiandao laughed jokingly: "The imperial court has a corresponding treatment for Mrs. Fate!" How? Is this something to worry about? Your mother only has a daughter like you, how much money does she have, and won't it always be for you as a dowry in the future? ”
Xia Yingying was a little shy, gently poked the remaining bear paw on the plate with the tip of her chopsticks, and hummed: "People are not rare, how much is the dowry." ”
At this time, the steward of the Song Mansion walked in and said to Song Yingming seriously: "Master, there is news from the front, the road to Tongren, because of the heavy rain for several days, the flash flood broke out, so that the mud and sand fell, blocking the road, I am afraid that it will not be able to pass for ten days and half a month." ”
"Huh?"
When Xia Yingying heard this, she immediately raised her head. Mrs. Xia pretended to frown and said, "The road is closed?" Ah. We were going to make a detour to Tongren, this ...... Wouldn't you have to wait here for half a month? ”
Mrs. Song had already been instructed by her husband, and she was busy cooperating: "My sister wants to live in our Song family for a few more days, but I can't ask for it." It's just that my sister received the holy decree and went to Beijing to face the saint, I'm afraid it's not good to delay it for too long, and it will always be bad if the son of heaven doesn't like it. ”
Mrs. Xia groaned, with a sad face: "This ......"
Mrs. Xia secretly glanced at her daughter, although Xia Yingying was full of disappointment. But how can you embarrass your mother? Although she has a pampered temperament, she understands filial piety very well. Xia Yingying held on to the last glimmer of hope and said to Song Tiandao: "Brother Shi, the mountain road is closed, should it really take more than half a month?" ”
Song Tiandao said: "Hmm! This is still the case of working day and night on both sides of the mountain road to clean up and excavate. If the cleaning is not effective, or there are boulders blocking the road, the cleaning effort will be long, as little as three months. At most half a year, it's possible. ”
"Oh......" Xia Yingying flattened her mouth and said to Mrs. Xia pitifully: "That...... Let's cross the Wujiang River and enter the river! ”
Mrs. Xia couldn't bear it when she saw it. But once her daughter arrived in Tongren and learned that Ye Xiaotian was arrested and returned to the mountain, with her temperament and feelings for Ye Xiaotian, wouldn't it be even worse at that time. had to harden her heart and comfort her: "My daughter is filial and knows for her mother." Then let's go to the capital first. On the way back, take Tongren. ”
In the evening, the fiery clouds filled the sky, and although it was half set in the western mountains, the sun was still shining brightly, and the faces of the people were red.
In the lotus pavilion that came out of the cliff on the west looking mountain, Xia Yingying lost her temper at the peak: "People just worshipped you, don't you talk count!" Forget it, it seems that I didn't ask you for this, and it's not your fault, but I ask you for something, you must not forget! If you are spiritual, I will invite a great monk to come and build a large Zen temple on this Xiwang Mountain, so that you can enjoy incense with the Buddha every day, if not, hum! Hum! ”
Xia Yingying pretended to be vicious, sneered at Xiwang Mountain three times, turned around and walked out of the small pavilion, and did not forget to turn around and say: "Don't forget, you must bless me!" ”
Koji and Sakura couldn't help but smile as they watched their young lady lose their childish temper and followed her towards the guest room. This young lady has always been like a little sister in their hearts, and the little Yingying of Red Maple Lake is loved by everyone, this is not a nonsense.

Cao Ruixi hurriedly withdrew from the Mercury Mountain with his men and horses, and chased after Guojiglong's ass. Because I was in a hurry, when I had to bury the pot to cook at night, I found that there was no pot, and I didn't bring rice.
The native soldiers shot a few flying birds, forked a few swimming fish, of course, the first to wrap the stomach of the toast master and the big and small leaders, the big man ate meat, the little master drank soup, and when he arrived at the earth soldiers, he even had no fish bones, meat and bones, so he had to sleep hungry for a night.
The next day, everyone tightened their belts, and chased for a long time, passing by a village at lunchtime, Cao Ruixi gave an order, and all the local soldiers rushed into Zhuangzi like bandits, caught chickens and dogs, killed pigs and sheep, and ate a big meal.
Fortunately, this Zhuangzi belongs to the Yang family, and Cao Ruixi is still thinking about the Yang family's land of one lake and two mountains, and it is not appropriate to tear his face with Yang Xianmin now, otherwise some of the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the village will also suffer.
Cao Ruixi even ate and took it, and finally caught up with Guoji Gelong's men and horses in the evening. Cao Ruixi grabbed a roast chicken, and couldn't care about the image of toast, while gnawing on the chicken, he listened to the scout report to him about the situation on Guojiglong's side.
Hearing that Guoji Gelong was indeed moving in the direction of Caojiabao, Cao Ruixi sneered three times and asked, "Can they pay attention to our whereabouts?" ”
The scout replied: "Back to Master Tusi, there should be no, I see that after they were stationed on the spot, they only sent scouts to the front, and did not send people to this side, it seems that they did not consider that there would be pursuers behind." ”
Cao Ruixi tugged at his sparse rat whiskers and said suspiciously: "There's no reason, he's coming westward in a big way, aren't you worried that I'll chase him after I find out?" Revisit! ”
The scout agreed, looked at the roast chicken in Cao Ruixi's hand with some greed, and saw that Lord Toast was gnawing vigorously, and he had no intention of rewarding him, so he had to swallow his saliva, turn over and ride away.
Cao Ruixi followed Gelong for three days, and when he waited for Gelong to attack the Cao family, he sent a fatal blow from his back, but ...... Gelong led the crowd to take a turn at the foot of the Fat Goose Ridge, and went back, went back! I went back!!
Legend has it that the roe deer is called a silly roe deer because this animal is so curious that if you don't hit it with an arrow. You don't have to chase it, just stand there and wait, and the idiot will run back on its own because it wants to figure out what's going on.
Cao Ruixi became a stupid roe deer at this moment, in fact, looking at Guoji Gelong, who led the crowd away, he already vaguely understood something in his heart, but if he didn't ask in person, he was unwilling after all, so Cao Ruixi gave up hiding and took the initiative to chase after him.
"Gokigron. Stop! ”
Guoji Gelong is known as the second good man in Tongren after Yu Hailong, he is nearly a foot tall, even Ye Xiaotian has to "look up infinitely" in front of him, not to mention the lean monkey-like Cao Ruixi, Cao Ruixi didn't dare to approach at all, and only shouted at Gelong from a distance surrounded by eight personal guards.
Gekigron turned his head and begged at him.
Cao Ruixi shouted: "What do you want to bring people to my Fat Goose Ridge?" ”
Gokigron looked up to the sky and laughed: "Ha, ha, ha, ha! ”
Cao Ruixi said angrily: "What are you laughing at? ”
Gokigron glanced at him sideways and scolded two words disdainfully: "Stupid! ”
Cao Ruixi glared angrily at the Gokiglong who was walking away. Gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Tzu is fooled!" ”

As soon as Yang Xiancheng fled, Yang Xianmin was immediately defeated. He was originally a little unable to resist the tide of attacks from the Gu Sect, but as soon as Yang Xiancheng retreated, the banner of the Mercury Mountain rose from his family. Yang Xianmin's side immediately became disorganized.
Yang Xianmin saw that the retreat was cut off, and the military spirit was not available, so he finally stopped being indecisive and decisively ordered: "Withdraw!" "Let's go down the ridge first. The Yang family army dispersed in a hurry, and each fled for his life.
In this way, it was exactly what the Gu Sect members were like. They are not good at attacking fortifications, and they are not too good in field combat, but in the jungle, they are natural warriors and darlings of the god of war, even if they are women and children, they can slaughter these Yang family soldiers lightly.
The Gu Sect immediately chased after them, at this time they could not talk about the role of the army at all, they did not need formation, command, scheduling, and cooperation, and the individual combat power only played half of the role at most, and the other half was completely affected by high morale and low morale.
Yang Xianmin's robe didn't have any special signs, and when he mixed in the crowd and drilled into the jungle, there was no way to confirm who the leader was.
Yang Xianmin waded through the river in the valley, climbed the rocks on the opposite bank, a pair of cowhide boots were soaked in the water and were extremely heavy, and when he took off his boots, he was rooted in gravel and grass, Yang Xianmin was anxious, tore off two sleeves and tied them at his feet, and plunged into the bushes.
Yang Xianmin ran in a hurry, constantly brushing away the branches, her cheeks and neck were all bloodshot, and she didn't care about wiping it, and from time to time she heard someone screaming from death, which made Yang Xianmin even more energetic to eat.
Suddenly, his hands parted into the bushes, and his body came to a screeching halt. In front of him was a "rice shovel head", which was holding its head high and roaring at him. The "rice shovel head" is the cobra, with a swollen, flat head, cold scales, delicate patterns, and deadly fangs......
Scary and beautiful at the same time, this is a mystery creature. In the West, the legends of the serpent are almost always related to evil and conspiracy. In the Bible, it is said that the serpent seduced the first human beings, and that Medusa, the "basilisk", could kill with her eyes.
In Chinese myths and legends, the image of the snake is much better: the beautiful snake, the white lady, ......, the problem: it is just a mythical goblin, but what Yang Xianmin is in front of is a real poisonous snake, and it has not yet become a spirit!
Yang Xianmin's hairs stood up, fortunately he had some understanding of the habits of snakes, don't look at this snake "whirring" roaring and bluffing, in fact, it is afraid of people, as long as you don't continue to approach, it doesn't feel threatened, it will stand still and watch you leave.
Yang Xianmin took a breath lightly, slowly raised one foot, and as long as he stepped back, a deserter suddenly ran and hit Yang Xianmin's lower back.
"I'm ...... Day"
Yang Xianmin involuntarily planted forward, only scolded half a sentence, and saw the "rice shovel head" roaring, the mouth of the snake was wide open, the fangs were sharp, and he slammed towards his front door!
: It's the beginning of the month, so I'm asking for a monthly pass and a recommended ticket!
My Weixin number: yueguanwlj, stay tuned!.
