Chapter 1369: The Great Waterfall (I)
Ding Kui and the others walked in Bingjiang Prefecture for half a month, and since Guanbei City and Shouyang City were not in the same direction, they did not deliberately detour to the state city to harass the state pastor, and they had to go through the portal on the way back anyway.
Take a shortcut to the capital of your own country to enter Beiping Prefecture from east to west, and then go south into Nanqinzhou, Shouyang City is in the south of Nanqinzhou.
"There is one of the most famous waterfalls in my country at the junction of Beiping Prefecture and Nanqin Prefecture, Shuangjianghui Waterfall, do you and your wife want to go and see it?" Feng Run made a suggestion.
"Shuangjianghui Waterfall?" Ding Kui heard the name for the first time, "It sounds spectacular, I'll ask Madame." He turned his horse and ran to the princess's chariot.
Ding Fen poked his head out of the window, listened to Ding Kui's words and then conveyed it to Shaodianluan, although Shaodianluan had heard it clearly in the carriage, but out of etiquette, he still let Ding Fen finish speaking.
"I haven't seen the waterfall, so let's go see it. Shaodian Luan suddenly felt that he was lonely and unheard, and staying in the palace all the year round when he was a child was a constraint.
Ding Kui has seen many waterfalls, including otherworldly waterfalls, but he is naturally close to water and likes this kind of large-scale hydrological landscape.
"Okay, I'll arrange it. Feng Run made a cameo as a tour guide.
The key is that Ding Kui was originally an enemy, and the previous Bingjiangzhou and Beiping Prefecture were all "brutalized" by Ding Kui, and those who hated Ding Kui could form several legions.
If it weren't for the two states to suppress the place, a thousand guards alone would not be able to stop the angry people, of course, Ding Kui is not afraid of ordinary people, what is difficult to do is Feng Run and his men.
Shuangjianghui Waterfall is a waterfall formed at the confluence of the Yulin River and the Pinggu River.
The Yulin River flows from northwest to southeast, and the Pinggu River turns west at the junction of the two states from north to south, just at the intersection of the Yulin River.
After the water of the two rivers washes down the waterfall, it merges into the Yuping River, which flows all the way to the South China Sea.
At the top of the waterfall is the confluence of the two rivers, which is more than 3,000 meters wide and slows down the flow of water, and the water rushes down a drop of more than 20 meters at a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour and flows into the source of the Yuping River.
Beiping Prefecture has abundant rain all the year round, Yulin River and Pinggu River are rich in water, the splash of water falling down from the big waterfall is as high as more than ten meters, the source of Yuping River is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the water vapor rises like smoke in summer.
Such a spectacular waterfall is rare in the world, and there is no other country except for himself and Bangladesh.
Shuangjianghui Waterfall is full of tourists all year round, especially in summer, there are a large number of tourists from all over the country, including many foreign tourists.
Today, more than a dozen knights escort a carriage and gallop along the official road leading to the Great Falls, where a special group of tourists are going.
"Where is the thunder?" said a sweet voice from the carriage.
A tall knight slowed down and paralleled the carriage and said, "Madame Hui, that's the sound of falling water in the waterfall, not thunder." ”
The woman in the car continued to ask: "This is still ten miles away from the Shuangjianghui Waterfall, right?
"Hehe, that's because the water is huge, and the nearby plain is unblocked, so the sound can be transmitted here, and you and I can only hear each other clearly in whispers after approaching the waterfall. ”
"Is it true? You don't have to lie to Hongu. The curtains of the car were lifted to reveal a peerless face.
"Hahaha, Ding Pony didn't deceive you, this is indeed the sound of the waterfall. One of the knights who took the lead laughed.
They are Ding Kui and Shaodianluan who went to Shuangjianghui Waterfall to play.
In order not to alarm other tourists, Shaodian Luan decided to travel lightly, and the princess's car was replaced by an ordinary carriage, and asked Feng Run to bring as few guards as possible.
Shuangjianghui Waterfall is already the southern border of Beipingzhou, far away from the people who hate Ding Kui, and Feng Run of the Senate is there, there is not much pressure to protect Ding Kui and others, and there is Ding Kui, the dominant knight, even if he does not bring an escort, ordinary people can't get close, so Feng Run selected a team of knights and escorted them to the Great Waterfall.
Qianyou, Liangchong, Zeng Jian, Lu Ying and Ding Fen naturally did not pull down, except for Ding Fen who accompanied Shaodianluan in the car, they all rode with them.
"The women I met on the road were really not wearing much. Zeng Jian secretly said to Liangchong.
"Hooligans!" was unfortunately heard by Lu Ying.
"Hahaha!" Liang Chong smiled at Zeng Jian, who was red-faced, "It's hot here, and it's easy to sweat when walking outside, so the girls have to wear it like this in order to be cool."
Miss Lu has some treasures on her, right? Dressed so tightly, she ran so far in the scorching heat without even breaking a single sweat. Look at the clothes on Zeng Jian's back, they are all soaked with sweat. ”
"Hmph! That's right, I still have the ice jade that my senior brother gave me. Lu Ying raised his chin slightly.
Ding Kui couldn't help laughing, the ice jade on Lu Ying's body was a gift from his wedding to Shaodian Luan, and it was given by his sister-in-law Hua Juan.
"It's natural to be calm and cool. "Qianyou is wearing a full-body magician robe.
He didn't have ice jade, but like Lu Ying, he didn't sweat a drop.
Liang Chong complained, "The magician is really a bully! ”
"The knight is still sweating while riding a horse, which means that you are not good at riding. Qianyou sneered.
The knights next to him all lowered their heads, and Qianyou's blow was too big.
"It's hard to avoid sweating in a hot weather, so don't you have to sacrifice your fighting armor to carry it? Ding Kui opened his mouth to defend the knight.
The Douqi armor is a good thing, it can regulate the temperature of qi and blood, and it is the reason why fearless knights rarely sweat in battle, but it is inconvenient to use in daily life.
Ding Kui himself has a lot of ice jade and wind jade, and no matter how hot the weather is, it can't affect him, and the clothes of Shaodianluan in the carriage are not affected.
"Oh, don't worry, it's much cooler when you get to the waterfall, even if many tourists bring an extra layer of clothing when they go there in this weather. Feng Run deliberately arranged for his subordinates to bring a lot of cloaks.
When he set off, he deliberately did not say anything, wanting this group of foreigners to experience the wonder of the waterfall.
"Water absorbs heat from the neighborhood and brings it closer to the temperature of the water, and the greater the amount of water, the greater the range of action, and the next few miles you will feel cool. Ding Kui showed off a wave of physics common sense.
Feng Run looked back in surprise and asked, "Oh, Ding Luma, have you ever been to Shuangjianghui Waterfall?"
"No, it's my first time here, but some things don't follow the same rules everywhere. ”
"That's right, admire, admire!" Feng Run only felt that Ding Kui was reasonable.
After another five or six miles, there were more and more pedestrians, vehicles and horses on the official road, and the temperature was really lower as Ding Kui said, and Zeng Jian, who was covered in sweat, clearly felt the coolness in the air.
The flag of the Senate really worked, ordinary people knew that it was for the exclusive use of officials and lords, and nobles and people in the officialdom could even recognize that it was used to receive foreign guests.
Ding Kui stayed by the carriage and paid more attention to the surrounding situation. He is not afraid of things, but he doesn't want to affect Shaodianluan's interest in playing, and strives to detect the signs of bad effects as soon as possible and nip them in the bud.
Feng Run came to the other side of the carriage to prevent someone from suddenly colliding with Shaodianluan. He can ignore the ruling knight, but the host and guest can't be lazy, after all, this is the queen's own niece, and it may be the one who will dominate the Shaodian Kingdom in the future.
The closer you get to the waterfall, the louder the sound of falling water, which sounds like thunder rolling in the sky, and like thousands of horses galloping, booming, just not like the sound of water flowing. Just imagine, tens of thousands of tons of water smashed into a river, and it was continuous, how small the sound was.
"Get out of the way!" shouted the knight who was leading the way in the loudest voice, leading the carriage to the best vantage point.
Qianyou, Liangchong and the others followed behind the carriage, all straightening their waists to accept the strange and envious gazes from all directions.
"Huh, where did they come from?"
"It must be a dignitary!"
"There's a knight! There's a knight! What a beautiful young knight. ”
Lu Ying's waist straightened up.
"There's a noble lady in the carriage, right?"
"It must be a young lady of noble birth. ”
"It must be a beautiful woman! ”
"Hmm, foreign guests! Looks like you're from Shaodian. ”
There were people in the crowd who knew the goods and recognized the clothes of Ding Kui and others.
"It's just a little guard, it's not a big deal, is it? If it's a royal noble, how can we stand. ”
"How old you are in charge of people, anyway, you can't afford to mess with people. ”
“......”
The chatter of the nearby crowd was not small, there was no way, the small voice was not audible next to it.
Ding Kui concentrated the volume with his fighting spirit, and transmitted the sound into the carriage: "Don't show your head, wait for us to clear the scene and then get off." ”
He knows very well how much of a sensation Shaodianluan's appearance will cause, "the first beauty of Shaodian Country" is not blown out, it can make the prince of his country crazy, and even more so the people of his country can go crazy.
The best place to see the waterfall is a hill on the east bank of the Yuping River, with a flattened summit and a five-story square pagoda built in it.
The road up the mountain was crowded with people, but the guard knight managed to squeeze a way out of the way and take Shaodianluan's carriage to the top of the mountain.
"Clear the field, everyone, please leave the square tower and the top of the mountain. Feng Run came to the top of the mountain and ordered.
The hill is located in the territory of Nanqin Prefecture, and the square pagoda on the top of the hill is managed by the officials of Nanqin Prefecture.
The people on the top of the mountain are much easier to handle, they can't go up to the square tower, which means that their identity and status are not enough, and they don't have a temper when they are driven away by the guard knights.
It didn't go so well on the square tower, "What are you doing? We paid the money, why do you want us to leave? No matter who comes, we won't leave!" someone shouted from the tower.
Feng Run frowned, owed to Ding Kui, and said, "I'll take a look." ”
Before coming, he had sent someone to inform the officials guarding the tower, saying that there were very important VIPs coming to watch the waterfall today, and he must ensure that no one affected the VIPs.
How could I have thought that the tower guard officials were greedy and cheap, and they still let people go to the tower before he came, resulting in someone being reluctant to leave after giving money now.
"I don't care what the Senate!what?
