"There are too many people." The six of them were a little anxious when they saw this situation.
There are too many people, and I'm afraid there won't be any room, so I have to rush forward.
But seeing so many people around, I was worried that no matter how hard I rushed, it might be too late, so everyone rushed forward.
As they walked forward, their hearts grew colder and colder.
The crowd gradually became denser.
The bright sunshine shone on my body, which was not as warm as usual, but seemed to be a bit scorching, and I couldn't help but feel restless.
"well!"
"I blame Lao Ma. He told me to come earlier, but he said he was not in a hurry. There is no point in arriving early."
"It's really useless if you arrive early." A middle-aged man with a long face said: "You have to wait if you arrive too late. Anyway, Master Fa Kong starts at noon."
"If you arrive early, there will be a place; if you arrive late, there will be no place!"
"You can always find a place." The long-faced middle-aged man said with a smile, "I have an idea."
"Um?"
"Old Ma, you still have the nerve to show off!"
"Okay, okay, I said so." Lao Ma said with a smile: "We don't actually have to squeeze in with them. There are several mountains around Nantian Peak. If you want to see Nantian Peak, in fact, you can go to the nearby mountains instead.
It’s even clearer, but you can’t see clearly even when you go up to Nantian Peak!”
"Well..., that makes sense."
"Let's go, follow me!" Lao Ma said with a proud smile.
They turned sideways and headed to Camel's Peak on the south side of Nantian Peak.
They concluded that the view from the Camel Peak is clearer. Whether it is on the east or west peak, sunlight will affect the view. The Camel Peak in the south is the most open and clear.
The six people speeded up and when they arrived at the foot of Camelback Mountain, they found a group of armored soldiers surrounding Camelback Mountain.
As they approached, four armored soldiers came over to greet them and waved their hands.
They stopped.
A middle-aged man lowered his voice: "He's from the Infantry Yamen. Is there some big shot here?"
"We think it's great here, and so do the big shots, who want to work with us."
"Hey, it's true." Lao Ma shook his head and said angrily: "But this mountain doesn't belong to them. They can come up, why can't we?!"
"Lao Ma, forget it, let's move to another place."
"That's right, don't cause trouble."
"I'm just not convinced." Lao Ma said angrily.
The six of them are all rich people. They don't have enough wealth to dare to eat in Guanyun Tower.
Among the six, one ran a cloth shop, two ran a rice shop, one ran a rouge shop, two ran a garment shop, and one ran a carriage and horse shop.
Although they are not top-notch stores, they are not the smallest either, and the money is worth spending.
But if you want to climb up, it is impossible to expand your stall. It will affect the interests of big businesses and the risk is too high.
Behind those wealthy businessmen are financial backers, high-ranking officials, or noble people who cannot be offended.
If they want to expand their scale, they have to climb these golden branches, but unfortunately there is no way, and people with high standards don't look down on them.
All they can do is run their stall well.
If you don't succeed, then you will give up and your heart will no longer be ready to move.
So it is contentment and happiness.
The six of us got together, just thinking about how to eat, drink and have fun. Sometimes we could help each other in business, and our relationship became closer and closer.
"Old Ma, how old are we? Don't have this quarrel. Let's go and find another place."
"Yes, besides Camel's Hump, there are other mountain peaks. Let's change to another one."
"What if there are big shots in other places?" Lao Ma said with a gloomy face, "Are we still going to change places?"
"Old Ma, what evil have you committed?" Someone next to him cursed in a low voice: "Don't be a fool, and leave quickly."
"If you keep talking nonsense, you will anger the big shot and you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"
The four armored soldiers stared coldly at this side, their eyes similar to the cold light reflected by their armor, which made their hearts tighten.
These soldiers won't reason with you.
"Go quickly, go quickly."
"I just want to see who the big shot is!" Lao Ma snorted angrily.
Someone asked in a low voice: "What kind of stimulation has Lao Ma received?"
"A batch of goods has been swallowed. I can't swallow this breath."
"Who did it?"
"De Fang Tang."
"De Fang Tang, don't mess with me!"
"Do you know the heel?"
"From Prince Duan's Mansion."
"No wonder!"
They looked at Lao Ma sympathetically and pulled him out to avoid getting into trouble.
Prince Duan is now the Sizheng of the Southern Supervision Department, and he is very proud of himself. He is more powerful than Prince Xin back then.
At this time, it is understandable that the people under his residence are a bit arrogant and arrogant. If they are proud, they will be arrogant. It would be the same for him.
The old horse was pulled forward by them, dragging its feet on the ground and not wanting to move.
The other five people looked at each other, shook their heads, and simply lifted him up.
Two people lifted his arms, two lifted his feet, and one held his butt to lift him away to avoid trouble.
"Wait a minute!" an armored soldier suddenly shouted.
The five people froze immediately, secretly shouting that something was wrong, and turned to glare at Lao Ma, whose expression changed slightly.
Lao Ma's face froze, and he suddenly felt regretful.
All the previous anger and injustice turned into annoyance. I was so hot-headed that I did such a stupid thing!
If he really implicates them, his sin will be even greater.
He hurriedly turned over and struggled out, clasping his fists and saying: "These military masters, it's none of their business, it's all mine."
The other five people were moved when they saw him like this.
Although I was moved, I was still worried and uneasy, cursing secretly, wondering if I could escape this time.
"Her Royal Highness the Fifteenth Princess has an order for you to go up."
"Your Highness Princess?" The six of them were startled, and turned to look at each other, confused and surprised.
They thought there was a big shot above, but they never thought it would be Her Royal Highness the Princess, especially Her Royal Highness the Fifteenth Princess.
"Hurry up!" An armored soldier looked at them and saw them dumbfounded. He snorted impatiently: "Don't worry, I'm not punishing you for your crimes. Your Highness is kind and will not punish people indiscriminately."
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" The six people reacted.
The armored soldier waved his hand: "No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Her Royal Highness. Come with me!"
"Yes." The six of them followed him up the mountain obediently.
People often come to visit Camel Peak, and there are stone steps from the foot of the mountain to the top.
As they walked up the stone steps, groups of soldiers patrolled over from time to time.
These soldiers were not ordinary people from the infantry yamen. They glanced at the six of them from time to time, their eyes as cold as looking at dead objects.
They were frightened and cautiously followed up. After walking for a while, they found a group of soldiers. After walking for a while, they found a group of soldiers.
After walking more than a hundred meters, the armored soldier who led them up stopped, gave a fist-waving salute to the middle-aged man in green shirt who was waiting there, and then retreated.
"You guys come with me." The middle-aged man in blue shirt said calmly: "Don't talk too much. Say what you need to say, but don't say anything you shouldn't, so as not to spoil His Highness's mood."
"Yes." The six of them hurriedly agreed.
The middle-aged man in green shirt led the six of them up.
They found that as they went up, there were fewer patrolling soldiers, and by the time they reached the top, there were no patrols.
The woods on both sides have almost lost all their leaves, and a gust of wind blows. Although the sun is bright, the rustling sound is still melancholy.
Camel's Hump got its name because there are two huge boulders towering at the highest peak, one higher and the other lower.
At this time, many people were standing under the two boulders.
A group of women in colorful clothes, all beautiful and charming.
A group of purple-clad eunuchs, some with white hair and childish faces, some with elegance and nimbleness.
Surrounding them were three women.
One is in her fifties, the other is in her thirties, and the other is in her late teens. Even women in their fifties are extraordinarily beautiful and elegant.
She is like a fairy concubine in her thirties, so beautiful and gorgeous that you cannot look directly at her.
She is eighteen or nineteen years old, beautiful, smart and refreshing, like a fairy who has fallen into the world, and does not eat the fireworks of the world.
It was Chu Ling, the Queen and the Queen Mother.
"I have met Her Highness the Princess." Lao Ma and the others guessed at a glance that the youngest one must be the fifteenth Princess Chu Ling, and hurriedly lowered their heads and bowed in salute.
Chu Ling waved her jade hand: "Okay, no need to thank you. You guys have good eyesight and know how to come here to take a look."
"Yes." The six of them lowered their heads and did not dare to say more.
Even though he is a rich man in the sacred city, when he is drinking and chatting, he will often point out the world and talk about how the emperor is doing and how the princess is doing.
Moreover, they are both in the Shenjing City, and their residence is only a dozen or twenty miles apart from the Forbidden Palace. The distance is not far, but it is actually like living in two worlds.
The only time they could see the emperor and his family was during the Hungry Ghost Festival.
The Ghost Festival is celebrated by everyone.
The emperor and the queen mother, together with their entire family, would go up to the Star Observation Tower of the Forbidden City and watch the lantern show and fireworks together with the people in the sacred city.
The rest of the time, they had no chance to see the emperor and princess.
Even if the emperor and the queen mother could be seen, it would be impossible to see them clearly.
The star-gazing tower in the Forbidden Palace is a hundred meters high, and the people below could not see the emperor's face clearly, unless those martial arts masters used their eyesight well enough.
The six of them are all practicing martial arts, but they haven't reached the Tianyuan realm yet and can't see the faces of the emperor and the queen mother clearly.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Do you believe that Master Fakong can ask for rain?"
"Yes." The six of them lowered their heads and replied.
Chu Ling said: "Grandma Huang, Fakong is now famous enough that everyone believes that he can pray for rain."
"At this time, if he can't beg..." The queen shook her head gently: "This kind of thing is not always accurate, is it? Will it occasionally be inaccurate?"
Who can predict God's temper accurately? There will be drought and floods for a while, all depends on his thoughts. What if he really can't pray for rain...
If you ask for rain in general, everyone knows that it may not succeed, and whether it succeeds or not depends on luck.
Master Fakong is different.
None of the ceremonies he held failed, making people confident and looking forward to them.
Everyone comes to see how it rains and how to pray for it. Success is a matter of course, and failure is a joke.
"Mother, you are overly worried. I know him. I will never do it if I am not completely sure. Once I do it, there will be no mistakes."
"No one is infallible."
"He will not."
"You girl." The Queen smiled and said, "Don't worry about Master. Okay, then let's see what it's like to pray for rain. It's a pity that we missed it last time."
Chu Ling glanced at Lao Ma and the other six: "What are you still doing in a daze? Stay aside and don't be an eyesore!"
"Yes." The six people hurriedly bowed their heads and responded.
The middle-aged man in green shirt took them to a huge rock and asked them to stand here and watch.
Standing on the boulder, you can clearly see the Nantianmen on the opposite side, but also have your back to Chu Ling and the others.
