Chapter 137
At Ye Wen's invitation, Feng Yueming, Feng Yeling, Chen Yuqian, Chen Yuheng, Zhu Xuan, Lan Feng and Zhu Qingxiao set off from Qingzhou to Tianlian Peak in Henan.
On the evening of the eighth day, they arrived at Hejia Village at the foot of Tianlian Peak Mountain. After some discussion, they decided to stay overnight in the village and then go up to the mountain to meet Ye Wen early tomorrow morning.
There are more than 300 households in Hejia Village. It is a large village famous nearby, not only because of their fresh aquatic products and high-quality wheat seedlings, but also because they have a vegetarian girl's hall where girls can practice martial arts.
Zhu Bai, the King of Hunan, passed through here at that time and spent his own money to build the Pure Girl Hall to provide literacy for girls in Hejia Village. Later, the reputation of the Plain Girl Hall spread far and wide, and wealthy families from all over the country brought their daughters here, and women in this place became a common trend.
Feng Yueming found out the name of Su Nutang and brought everyone here to pay homage to King Xiang's righteous deeds in the past. Su Nutang occupies a very large area with dozens of large and small houses, including a school for studying and a library for collecting books.
There is a martial arts hall for practicing martial arts, and there are also dormitories for foreign students.
In front of the main entrance of Su Nu Hall stood a stone statue of a tall and handsome man holding a book in his hand. Zhu Qingxiao recognized this stone statue of Zhu Bai at a glance, and knelt down in front of the stone statue, with tears filling his eyes.
A slender woman walked out of the door, looked at the group of people in front of the door in surprise and said, "I am Lin Qing, the master of the Su Nu Hall. May I ask where these guests are from?"
Feng Yueming clasped his fists in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Master. I'm down here. Feng Yueming came from Qingzhou with these friends."
Lin Qing was in her thirties, with long hair that reached her waist. Her eyes widened when Feng Yueming announced her home and said, "You are the young marquis of the Marquis family of Wenchang in Qingzhou."
Feng Yueming said humbly, "It's not just right."
"I've admired you for a long time." Lin Qing said "I admire you for a long time." After saying "I admire you for a long time", Lin Qing's eyes fell on Feng Yeling and said, "Is this young lady the most beautiful woman in the legend?"
"Where did you say this?" Feng Yeling's pretty face turned red and she said sheepishly, "Sister Lin is also very beautiful."
Lin Qing turned to Zhu Qingxiao who was lying on the ground and said, "Please get up, this guest, too. The ground is too cold."
"Hallmaster Lin doesn't know something." Lan Feng said softly, "This girl of mine is none other than the biological daughter of King Zhu Bai of Xiang, and the current Princess of Jiangling County, Zhu Qingxiao."
"What?" Lin Qing was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help Zhu Qingxiao up. Then she bowed in front of Zhu Qingxiao and said, "Lin Qing greets the eldest lady."
"Have we met before?" Zhu Qingxiao was also surprised. "Why does Hall Master Lin need to perform such a grand ceremony? Please stand up and speak."
"The eldest lady doesn't know something." Lin Qing stood up slowly and explained, "I was just a girl living on the street back then. If King Xiang hadn't happened to pass by here and take me into the Pure Girl Hall, I would have died of cold and exhaustion. Your Majesty, this is the case.
How can I not repay such kindness even though I know it so much?"
With Zhu Bai's relationship, their conversations became more familiar. Lin Qing welcomed everyone into the hall, served tea personally, and after greetings, talked to Feng Yueming about the purpose of their visit.
"We just came here to take a look." Feng Yueming said politely, "We will find a place to stay later, and we will climb Tianlian Peak tomorrow morning."
Lin Qing said enthusiastically, "Since these distinguished guests have arrived at the Pure Girl Hall, why bother looking for another place? I'll ask the students to vacate some guest rooms. How about you rest here tonight?"
Feng Yueming waved his hand and said, "We are already troubled by disturbing the hall master, how dare we cause more trouble?"
"No trouble." Lin Qing persuaded again, "This Pure Girl Hall was originally built by the King of Xiang. Now we entertain the young lady of the King of Xiang. Isn't it a logical thing? The young marquis always gives me a chance to fulfill his friendship as a landlord. Let me
I want to repay King Xiang for his help in the past."
Feng Yueming hesitated for a moment, then agreed and said, "Thank you in advance, Feng Yueming."
Everyone had dinner at the Su Nutang and went for a walk on the streets of Hejia Village after dinner. From a distance, they saw a middle-aged man walking towards them carrying a large sack.
Lan Feng's sharp eyes recognized this person at a glance as Lan Ruohai's old comrade-in-arms, the current top player Xu Qiuyu.
"Uncle Xu." He ran a few steps quickly and came to Xu Qiuyu, greeting him cordially, "You are here too."
Xu Qiuyu smiled kindly and said, "Ye Zong hosted the Tianlian Summit to discuss the matter of avenging Brother Baichuan. How could I, an old friend, not come?"
When he said this, his expression suddenly darkened again, and he said, "If I had not left in a hurry that day, but had walked with Brother Baichuan for a while, how could An Xiaohan dare to be so arrogant?"
While they were talking, Feng Yueming and others also gathered around, and everyone naturally had another friendly chat.
Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Yueming persuaded Xu Qiuyu to stay at the Sunu Hall, but Xu Qiuyu declined politely, saying, "I always like to be quiet. It's getting late now, so I can't bother them to clean up the room for an old man like me. I
It’s better to find another place to live.”
Feng Yueming tried to persuade her a few more times, but seeing that Xu Qiuyu had already made up her mind, she had no choice but to give up. They made an appointment to go up the mountain together tomorrow and then return to Sunu Hall.
Feng Yeling didn't sleep peacefully that night. She didn't know whether she was worried about tomorrow's Tianlian Summit or was too looking forward to meeting Lan Qiao again in a few hours. She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep for a long time.
After tossing and turning for a long time, she felt a sense of heat all over her body. It was a cool spring night, so she put on her coat and quietly pushed the door open.
Feng Yeling originally wanted to take a walk in the backyard of the Su Nu Hall to relieve her anxiety, but unexpectedly, after walking about twenty steps, a figure suddenly appeared on the moonlit ground.
She felt a thrill in her heart, and immediately realized that someone had climbed up the wall. The moonlight was bright tonight, and the shadow of that person was reflected in the courtyard.
Feng Yeling didn't have time to think too much, so she quickly moved a few steps to the side and squatted down, hiding behind a thick bush and peeking out through the gap in the bush.
The man on the wall glanced at the courtyard a few times, as if to confirm that it was safe, then turned back and blew a whistle toward the outside of the wall that sounded like a night owl.
In a moment, four more figures ran up the wall. But judging from their body shapes, they were tall, short, fat, and thin, and one of them had an exquisite figure, as if he was a woman.
Feng Yeling trembled, not knowing who was coming, hiding in the dark and not daring to make a sound.
The first person to climb the wall took another glance at the courtyard, suddenly pointed at the guest room arranged by the Sunu Hall for Feng Yueming, Lan Feng and others, and muttered a string of words that were difficult for ordinary people to understand. His voice was rough and bold.
His face is somewhat hoarse, reminding people of the image of a burly battlefield commander.
Feng Yeling heard clearly, but was even more surprised that the man was speaking Mongolian.
Feng Zhenyue had gone deep into Mongolia to fight many times and knew the Mongolian language very well. Later he went to Qingzhou to farm and learned these Mongolian dialects to Feng Yeling in his spare time. Therefore, Feng Yeling could also listen to them after he heard them more.
Understand the general meaning of Mongolian.
Translated into Chinese, the man's words were, "This should be the right place. If I were them, I would probably choose to live here."
