Chapter 1: Three Questions (1)
Shanhaiguan was called Yuguan in ancient times, and also called Yuguan, also known as Linluguan. In the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381 AD), King Xu Da of Zhongshan was ordered to build Yongping, Jieling and other passes, and found Shanhaiguan here. Because it leaned against mountains and seas, it was named Shanhaiguan.
Shanhaiguan has been built and built in 1381 AD and has a history of more than 245 years. It has been a military center since ancient times.
Zhu Yinglong and others went out of Ningyuan City to meet Xiong Hu and others, set out to return to the Central Plains, and stayed overnight at Shanhaiguan, known as the pearl outside the border, Yansai Lake.
Knock on the hard lake ice, scoop a mouthful of the water inlet, it is cold and sweet, and I chose a flat place by the lake, set up a tent, make a fire and cook, and I was very busy.
Along the way, Xiong Hu always deliberately avoided Zhu Yinglong, and it was just a joke. Zhu Yinglong himself was in a mess and didn't know how to face this troubled love, but this kind of thing must not be delayed. If you are like a person who is fine, the matter will be even more afflicted, and you have to speak first.
"Li Niang, can we go to the lake to have a walk?" Zhu Yinglong made up his mind that delaying the relationship was a kind of harm to both parties, so he walked to Xiong Hu and asked softly.
Xiong Hu stood up and followed him. The two of them gently stepped on the grass that had just sprouted from the snow, creaking, Zhu Yinglong took a long breath and said, "Li Niang, what happened that morning..."
Xiong Hu said anxiously without waiting for Zhu Yinglong to finish his words: "Prince, Li Niang understands that it is a misunderstanding, Li Niang won't take it to heart."
Zhu Yinglong was stunned. Knowing that Xiong Hu had misunderstood, he quickly turned around and grabbed Xiong Hu's arm and said, "Li Niang, listen to me, I don't mean that."
Before Zhu Yinglong could finish his explanation, Xiong Hu reached out and opened Zhu Yinglong's hands, and said without any emotion in his words: "Prince, please respect yourself. Li Niang is not the kind of frivolous woman!" After that, he turned around and walked away.
"Li Niang, listen to my explanation..." No matter how Zhu Yinglong called, Xiong Hu walked away without looking back, leaving Zhu Yinglong standing by the lake feeling lost. He really didn't expect Xiong Hu to be so strong, but she was just lost and didn't pay attention to her confession, which made her mistakenly think that she was ruthless towards her, which was equivalent to rejecting her in person. How heavy this kind of hurt was for her.
Zhu Yinglong returned to the camp in a daze, without saying a word, and got drunk. This was the second time in his life. The first time he came to Kaifeng to miss his parents in another time and space on the first New Year's Eve, and he was drunk.
"Prince, Prince..." Zhu Yinglong opened his hazy drunk eyes in a whispered voice. A strong beam of sunlight shone on his cheeks. He immediately closed his eyes again, dizzy, unable to see who was calling him, and asked directly: "When is it?"
"It's almost noon!"
"What, it's noon?" Zhu Yinglong sat up in shock and then realized that it was Lu Haotian standing beside him.
I took a random wash and ordered to set off immediately. I had been delaying for myself for a long time. If I could not enter Shanhaiguan before dark, I would probably have to stay in the wild again. There was a woman among my group. Women love to be clean, so it would be extremely uncomfortable not to take a bath for a long time. Even now I am eager to take a hot bath quickly, especially now I still have a smell of alcohol and sweat.
Shanhaiguan stands above the Great Wall, and looks at the four fields. The city is about 4 kilometers in a circumference. It is a small city. The entire city is connected to the Great Wall, with the city as the pass. The city is 14 meters high and 7 meters thick. There are four main city gates in the city and there are many kinds of defensive buildings. It is a city gate with a relatively complete defense system and is known as the "No. 1 Pass in the World". The majestic Arrow Tower is the main body, supplemented by Jingbian Tower, Linlu Tower, Muying Tower, Weiyuan Hall, Wengcheng and other Great Wall buildings. The east starting point of the Ming Wanli Great Wall, Lao Longtou, the Great Wall meets the sea, the blue sea and the golden sand, the sky opens the sea, the majestic and majestic passes, the famous Jiaoshan Great Wall, the winding beacon tower, the picturesque scenery, and it is known as "the capital Pinghan, the left throat of Liao".
Standing under Shanhaiguan, Zhu Yinglong felt excited and excited. Under the tall city wall several feet tall, Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt that he was too small. He had a lot of flags and guns like rain. What a scene in the world.
The atmosphere here is completely different from that in Ningyuan. The records of soldiers guarding the pass are scattered, and they forget their responsibilities when they see silver. Zhu Yinglong and others quickly entered Shanhaiguan City in several batches.
Chen Xi had entered the pass before and booked the Yuelai old shop in the pass. Due to Xiong Hu's affairs, Zhu Yinglong was depressed all the way. Xiong Tingbi also vaguely knew a hint of it. He was not suitable to interfere in this kind of emotional matter between children, and he did not have the ability to interfere in it. On one hand, he was a noble prince and his own daughter. Whenever he talked about it, his daughter always avoided the important matters and was difficult to ask the prince. It was really difficult to be a father!
"Prince, dinner is ready." Lu Haotian pushed the door and walked into Zhu Yinglong's room, and said softly in Zhu Yinglong's ears who were sitting at the table after taking a shower.
Zhu Yinglong didn't move at all. In fact, he had already noticed that Lu Haotian had come in, but he was thinking about a question. Regarding his future plans, Zhu Yinglong knew about the situation that he called for a high school and gathered people in Yuan Chonghuan. This kind of thing that only happens in the novel legends is too naive and idealistic. He originally planned to turn back from Liaodong and then turn to Jiangnan. Now he thought, is it necessary for him to go to Jiangnan? It is this question that confuses him now, so he ignored Lu Haotian's words.
"Prince, the wine and food are ready, you..." Lu Haotian reminded Zhu Yinglong again.
Zhu Yinglong suddenly looked up, as if he had made a decision in his heart. A determined divine light shot out from his eyes and said, "Let's go, I'm so hungry that I'm in my heart."
Lu Haotian looked at Zhu Yinglong's back for no reason, not sure why Prince Xin was so strange today, and he followed him out without thinking about it.
Shanhaiguan did not encounter war, and everything in the city was as usual, but it was quite busy. Yuelai's old store is a century-old store. This evening, there were guests full of guests, which was very lively. Zhu Yinglong, Xiong Tingbi and Lu Haotian were at a table, drinking wine while listening to the chatting and chatting in the living room.
