The team rested where they were, and the people in the kitchen buried pots to make rice, preparing to use these few hours to make dry food.
The terrain here is very high and the mountain wind is strong.
Standing on the edge of the mountain, my robes were blowing.
Xia Jing looked at the cliff ahead and said with a smile: "This is a natural barrier. If we build an outpost here, it will directly block the north and south throats."
If you want to go from Jingzhou to Lingnan, you must pass here.
Everyone else looked at her in surprise. No one expected that this was what she was thinking about at this moment.
But after thinking about it for a moment, her idea had to be said to be very constructive.
King Qian glanced at her, stared at the cliff ahead, and said, "This can be arranged when we have established a foothold in Lingnan."
Everyone else looked as if they had seen a ghost. King Qian, who only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, was actually concerned about political affairs?
"Ahem, why are you looking at me?"
Everyone takes back their attention gifts.
King Qian sighed and faced the mountain breeze. The mountain breeze was cool, but at this moment, he felt very cold in his heart.
"The imperial court moved south, the emperor was critically ill, and I was expelled from the center of power and came to the border of the Southern Barbarians. If I continue to ignore worldly affairs and make progress, I may die without a burial place. In order to be buried in the royal mausoleum after my death, I
It’s time for the king to be prepared to become stronger.”
King Qian's inspiring words moved Mr. Zhang to tears. He wiped his tears with his sleeves and said, "My lord, you have finally awakened. As expected, adversity makes people grow."
Xia Jing didn't know what other people were thinking, but she didn't believe that King Qian could change for the better. How could he change because of his nature?
The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. It means that the change of the nature is more difficult than the change of the country.
What he said today was just something he said temporarily, and he forgot about it later.
He has lived in the capital for decades and has not changed despite the influence of power. After a lifetime of happiness, he has changed in just a short period of time?
She didn’t know whether other people believed it or not, but she didn’t believe it anyway.
She had to wait for several hours, and it was quite boring to stay here, and the mountain wind was too strong. Xia Jing was afraid that the wind would blow too much and she would have a headache at night.
So, she called her son, took a few guards with her, and prepared to go for a few rounds in the mountains.
The mountain wind was so strong that others couldn't bear it and returned to the carriage to rest.
Not long after King Qian entered the king's palace, Aunt Sun climbed in after him.
"Why did you come in without being informed?" King Qian said with a surprised look on his face.
"I haven't seen the prince for a few days, and I'm thinking a lot. In addition, the prince blew the wind just now. I'm afraid that the prince will have a headache afterward, so I came over to give you a massage."
Today, Aunt Sun changed her dressing style from the past. She ditched the bright colors and put on a plain dress. She also wore a simple bun and a simple headdress.
Suddenly dressed in such a refreshing and clean manner, it was rare for King Qian to take another look at her.
It was just a glance. Aunt Sun noticed it and couldn't help but feel happy.
Sure enough, if you learn that bitch's strategy, you can attract the prince's attention by changing your normal behavior.
King Qian took off his shoes, lay down on the couch, closed his eyes slightly, "Well, then come over and press the button for me."
"OK."
Aunt Sun happily walked to the couch quickly, rubbed her hands, and pressed them when her fingers were warm.
"The strength is moderate and the weight is very good. No one in our palace can compare with you."
Even King Qian had to praise Aunt Sun's massage techniques.
After hearing the compliment, Aunt Sun was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth. She pushed him gently and said coquettishly: "My lord, please make me happy. My sister, the princess, is not bad. Is it possible that I can press my body better than her?"
"she?"
Hearing this, the smile on King Qian's face suddenly disappeared, "You two are incomparable."
The most important thing is that Xia Jing has never massaged him, so how does he know whether her technique is good or not?
"Your Majesty, the wind here is too strong, how about we just let the team pass? If you stay here too long, I'm afraid you'll get a headache again."
Aunt Sun listened to the howling wind outside and felt extremely unconvinced. She had observed the cliffs outside and found that even the top of the mountain couldn't hide anyone. How could there be an ambush!
King Qian was still very self-aware of his own abilities at times. After listening to her words, he waved his hand without hesitation, "You, a woman who doesn't know anything, should take care of this matter. The reason why sir has to send people to explore the top of the mountain is unnecessary."
, has its own reason."
Aunt Sun: "Isn't the princess sister also a woman?"
King Qian opened his eyes and stared, "How can you compare with her!"
Aunt Sun: "." So angry!
Xia Jing and her group walked into a bamboo forest and found a lot of bamboo shoots. Most of them were tall, and only a few had just sprouted out of the soil.
"We have been walking all the way. It has been as hot as summer outside, but there are still bamboo shoots here. It is really strange!" Li Chengmu broke off a bamboo shoot that was as tall as a person.
"The temperature in the mountains is lower than that in the plains, and the temperature warms up later, so the plains have already entered summer, and the bamboo shoots here are at the right time. You should have learned in books that the beauty of April in the world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temples begin to bloom. This is probably what this climate phenomenon is about."
Xia Jing found a bamboo shoot that had just sprouted and asked the guards to pry it out. When she turned around, she found that Li Chengmu had broken off a bamboo shoot that was as tall as a person.
She smiled helplessly: "Xiao Wu, do you want bamboo when you break this, or are you planning to eat bamboo shoots? Bamboo is too young for you, and bamboo shoots are too old for eating!"
"Ah?" Li Chengmu picked up the bamboo shoots he broke, "Too old?"
Xia Jing smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, you young people have good teeth anyway!"
"Ha ha."
The few guards who were following him couldn't help laughing.
"Fifth Master, if you carry it back, you can ask the cook to make fried old bamboo shoots and tender bamboo shoots. Maybe it will taste good!"
"Ha ha!"
Li Chengmu was laughed at by everyone and felt like his face was going to smoke.
He pretended to throw away the bamboo shoot as tall as a person, "According to what you said, this bamboo shoot is a waste."
Xia Jing stopped him, "Don't throw it away, carry it back and give it to your nephews to play with. Although these bamboo shoots are too tender to be made of bamboo, you can cut them off and use them as cups for your nephews. Especially the smaller ones don't like to play with them."
play house."
Li Chengmu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Okay, for the sake of the little ones, I will help them carry it back."
Not to mention that the cup made from the bamboo shoots that are about to grow is emerald green, as beautiful as jade.
She didn't dig more bamboo shoots, just two were enough. If the team's kitchen needed bamboo shoots, they would send slaves to dig them up. She asked the guards to dig two bamboo shoots just to satisfy the addiction of digging bamboo shoots.
Keep these two for Hongmei to start cooking, and make them separately for her to try.
"Concubine, let alone the high terrain here, even the vegetation is not as lush as below."
As he spoke, Li Chengmu pointed to the top of the mountain in the distance, "Look at that mountain. There are no trees on the top of the mountain, only some grass."
Walking out of the bamboo forest, one of the guards was surprised to find a cave.
"Princess, Fifth Master, there is a cave here."
"Cave?" Li Chengmu was delighted, "Could it be a treasure cave?"
My favorite story when I was a child was adventure and treasure hunting stories.
