Chapter 007

Chapter 007: Fight without bloodshed

Caochengchuan, where the Kelan Defense Envoy is stationed.

Chi Zhong inspected the military camp. As soon as he returned to his residence, Lieutenant General Xiao Chen, who was waiting on the porch, came forward to greet him. He took the riding whip from his hand and said politely: "Your Excellency."

Chi Zhong said nothing and walked towards the gate of the mansion. Xiao Chen hurriedly followed and said: "Sir, the salary over in Fugu has been delayed for more than a month. The sergeants have complained a lot. There is no autumn harvest this year."

, Fugu has to requisition another batch of grain and grass, and life here is not going to be easy."

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the trees in the mansion were lined with shades. The cicadas were chirping endlessly on the trees, which made Chizhong feel upset. He pulled up his clothes, exposed his chest to breathe, and said impatiently: "It's only been a few months."

, whose family can’t open the pot? The commander-in-chief will not wipe out all your salary. Speaking of which, life is not easy for the commander-in-chief. We have to share the worries for the commander-in-chief, right? We will wait until we get through this period.

Okay. Speaking of grain and grass, we should have enough grain here to last until next winter. There are some difficulties over there in Fugu, so let’s allocate a batch of grain and grass there."

"Yes, yes, yes," Xiao Chen responded repeatedly. As Chi Zhong entered the flower hall, the guards and entourage all retreated, and then he lowered his voice and said: "Commander, Daizhou was short of food last year. Commander

We made a lot of money by transporting our accumulated grain. We haven’t harvested this year yet, so we haven’t made up for the shortfall yet.”

Chizhong glared at him and said, "Nonsense, don't I know? There are many people outside, so don't talk about important things on the road."

While untying his armor, he wandered around the hall. After pondering for a long time, he threw the heavy chain armor on the chair with a clang and waved to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen quickly approached and Chi Zhong whispered: "

Nowadays, many business travelers do not pass through our territory, which affects all industries. There are some difficulties in Fugu. If we clearly shirk the blame, it will definitely fail. Well, haven't the food and wages been delayed for more than a month? You can take advantage of this

, the soldiers caused some trouble, and I stepped in to suppress it. I turned around and told the commander-in-chief that in order to appease the morale of the soldiers, part of the grain reserves were distributed with pay, so the grain reserves were insufficient to allocate the grain to the government, so that the commander-in-chief could explain it.

It’s over.”

"My lord is wise and has good strategies." Xiao Chen lost no time in flattering him. Seeing Chi Zhong turn around and pick up the herbal tea and drink it, he hurriedly came closer and whispered: "My lord, there is someone coming from Bianliang again.

"

After hearing this, Chi Zhong was startled and slowly sat down on the chair. Xiao Chen hurriedly approached and said: "Sir, after adjustments, even if Fuzhou can cope with the current tight situation, I'm afraid it won't be as prosperous as before.

, who doesn’t know that Yang Hao’s territory is full of money? Even Li Yuchang, who is a close relative of the handsome family, has now gone to Yang Hao’s territory and opened three businesses in one go.

In view of the humble position, Fuzhou... the future is not bright."

Chi Zhong frowned and remained silent. Xiao Chen hurriedly turned to the other side of him and continued: "Sir, the envoy over there said that the officials have always valued you very much. If you can make up your mind, I will do it for you."

After the service of the imperial court is completed, the Jiedushi of the Baode Army will be yours."

Chi Zhong was shocked and said in surprise: "Is this true?"

Xiao Chen hurriedly said: "Of course it's true. The nine-fifth emperor of the official family is the emperor. Those are golden words. How can there be any reason to go back on his word? Your Excellency has worked hard and achieved great results. But if you follow the commander-in-chief, this defense officer will come to an end. What else can you do?

What's the future? Your Majesty, we have a secret relationship with the imperial court. If the commander-in-chief finds out, even if you have no second thoughts, you will be dismissed by the commander-in-chief. Now that the imperial court has promised you such a huge benefit, your Majesty, you should have made a decision long ago."

"Sir, your future and wealth are at your fingertips, why should you hesitate?"

Chi Zhong stood up and walked quickly around the room. His face was uncertain, and he was always hesitant. After a while, he paused and looked back: "Where is the imperial envoy now?"

Xiao Chen said hurriedly: "Still pretending to be a relative of humble position and living in humble position."

Chi Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Tonight, I will go to your house for a drink, okay?"

Xiao Chen understood the idea and said quickly: "I understand, I will make proper arrangements. Tonight... I'm waiting for you to come."

Xiao Chen retreated, and as soon as he left the flower hall, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

In the hall, Chi Zhong looked up at Cheng Chen on the roof. For a long time, Fang said seriously: "Commander Zhe, let's go to higher places..."

Fugu, Baihuawu.

Zhe Yuxun's face was full of anger: "What a nonsense, what a nonsense. Uncle Jiu, where did this girl Ziyu go?"

The clear-faced General Ninth smiled bitterly: "Yu Xun, this girl Ziyu is a one-man girl. She doesn't want anyone to find her, so who can find her? Well, this is the news she sent back. The news was originally from It came from Suizhou. In the letter, she only gave a few suggestions to improve the predicament of our prefecture. She reported to her family that she was safe and told us not to look for her. She wanted to go out for a walk alone to relax. Although the news was It came from Suizhou, but in such a short time, I don’t know where she went and how to find him?"

Zhe Yuxun grabbed the letter from his younger sister and gritted his teeth while reading it. After reading it, he threw the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground, asking: "She didn't say anything else? If something happens to us, how can we find her?"

General Ninth said: "Ziyu left a message. If there is still something unclear about her suggestion, you can send a secret message to Sui Feng. She will pick it up on the fifteenth day of this month."

Zhe Yuxun frowned and said, "Can we arrange people everywhere to catch her as soon as she shows up?"

General Ninth smiled bitterly and said: "How is that possible? Many of our intelligence points are located in Dafu, a large city that is not under our jurisdiction, or in pharmacies, brothels, or tea shops... How can we possibly arrange for people to abduct her in such a big way? "

Zhe Yuxun frowned and sighed: "She is a young daughter, and she is very beautiful. She does not take any attendants with her and goes out alone. If something happens, this... this..."

Zhe Yuxun wandered around for a long time, then leaned down and picked up the letter sent back by Zhe Ziyu, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, then turned and walked behind the desk.

Zhe Yuxun unfolded the letter paper, picked up the pen, pondered for a moment, and then wrote a letter eloquently. In it, he described in detail Yang Hao's worries after she left. After surrendering, Ziyu also told Ziyu the secret alliance oath to make him the hereditary king of Zhelan. Xiaozhi tried to persuade him emotionally and rationally. After taking a closer look, there was nothing serious, and then he stood up and handed it over to Jiu. The general said: "Uncle Ninth, compile this letter into a secret text and send it to everyone."

Liangzhou's land is rich in grains, especially wheat and rice. There is no danger of drought or flood every year, and its animal husbandry is the best in the world. Since the Han Dynasty established a county here, Liangzhou has jurisdiction over seven counties. After many years of operation, it has a large population and abundant products. It is said that there are one hundred thousand households in the seven cities of Liangzhou.

In addition to Liangzhou's own advantages, it is also the first town to move west to seize the Hexi Corridor, and its military status is also very important. The seven cities here are occupied by three parties. Among them, the Dangxiang Qiang people were originally loyal to Li Guangrui. Li Guangrui died After that, the Qiang people in the area were temporarily autonomous. After Yang Hao's forces gradually moved westward, conquered the cities in the Helan Mountains one by one, and stationed troops in Lingzhou, the Qiang people in Jialin, Changsong and Liangzhou begged for surrender. , so Yang Hao already has the vanguard here.

In addition to the Dangxiang Qiang people, the forces occupying Liangzhou also include the Liugu Fan tribe of Tubo. The Liugu Fan tribe is a tribe of Luo Dan. Chief Luo Dan accepted Yang Hao's assistance and was actually his pawn. Now the Zhengtong soldiers are fighting with Longyou.

Shangbo Qian and other tribes went to war, and their territory here naturally surrendered to Yang Hao. In this way, Yang Haoxi's first step into Liangzhou was to occupy five cities without a single blow, leaving only Guzang and Shenniao.

In the county, the two cities were also occupied by Tubo people, but they were not under the jurisdiction of the Liugu vassal tribe.

Zhang Pu of the Chinese Army unfolded the map and said: "Commander, please look at it. Guzang and Shenniao are the most important cities in the seven cities of Xiliang. There are more than 7,300 households in the two cities and a population of more than 36,000.

, including 300 households of Han people, 1,100 households of Qiang people, and about 200 households of other ethnic groups. In addition, they are all Tubo people. The people occupying this place are the Tubo Dachang tribe, whose leader is Luorong Dengba, who is currently stationed in Gu.

Zang City. Gu Zang City, also known as Wolong City in Han Dynasty, is seven miles from north to south and three miles from east to west. It was built during the Xiongnu period and is also called Gainiao City by the locals."

Yang Hao smiled slightly. He knew how many households there were in the city and what their composition was. He could understand it in detail and accurately. This was a lot of effort. Feiyu tried his best at a small scale and achieved extraordinary results.

Yang Hao asked: "Is the city still strong? How many soldiers are there in the city, and what kind of person is this Luorong Denba?"

Zhang Pu said: "Both cities are small cities. Although they have been repaired and reinforced for many years, they are not dangerous. The Dachang tribe has less than 2,000 standing troops, but all men and women of the tribe are good at riding and shooting. Everyone can go into battle and fight. If we really want to occupy the city

If you defend to the death, you can get at least 20,000 troops. This Luorong Denba is not a bad person, because he is next to the powerful Li family of Xiazhou, and the Liugu and Fan tribes are strong and prosperous, so he has always been kind to others and does not exploit the people very much.

Being harsh and defending oneself in two cities has no ambition."

Yang Hao frowned and said: "Yes, in the northwest region, in case of war, men, women, old and young, farmers, animal husbandry, industry and commerce can all act as controllers. It seems that there are few people, but it is actually a hundred times easier to gather troops than in the Central Plains.

My parents, wives, and children all went into battle, and they worked together to form a city. Although I can defeat these two cities, after a bloody battle, I'm afraid there won't be many people left in the city.

My goal is to renovate the ancient roads in the Western Regions, not to kill people all the way and become a butcher in Hexi. This Luorong Demba has no ambitions and is not a vicious person. Or can I use hard and soft tactics to force him to surrender? If I can control them

, try to avoid creating hatred. Has our notice been sent to the city? Does Luorong Demba have any intention of surrendering?"

Zhang Pu said: "He was sent to the city the day before yesterday. All the forces in the city that we can influence are putting pressure on him. Now he has neither refused nor agreed. Commander, do you want to wait for him to make it clear?"

Make a reply?"

Yang Hao pondered for a while and said: "Ling Mu'en, Mu Kui, Ai Yihai, plus the heavy armored cavalry formation, Mo Dao formation, take turns to perform military formations under Guzang City. Since he can't make up his mind, let's help him

A handful."

Zhang Pu smiled knowingly, cupped his fists and said, "General, I will obey your orders!"

Tashi Duoji lay on the grass fence and watched nervously what was happening in the distance.

Behind him, there was a tense atmosphere in Guzang City. All the businesses and shops were closed, the doors were closed, and there was silence. On the streets, there were only groups of warriors with swords and arrows hurriedly coming and going.

The tense atmosphere in the city also affected Tashi Duoji's mood. When he saw groups of people galloping back and forth on the grassland, smiling and arrogant, his face was as pale as paper.

He has seen many armies, from the Tubo people and the Dangxiang people, and has fought against them. No matter whose army they are, they are as fierce as tigers and wolves. However, there is obviously one obvious difference between the army in front of them. They are just as fierce. , equally sturdy, and at the same time uniform, advancing and retreating as one, so in the fierce momentum like a huge wave splashing into the sky, it has a unique kind of chilling and fierce momentum, as strong as a mountain, as quiet as a mountain, and as moving as a mountain. pour.

He knew that Yang Hao had replaced Li Guangrui, and many of his troops were originally from Li Guangrui's Xiazhou soldiers, but he did not expect that in two years, Li Guangrui's soldiers would be completely transformed in Yang Hao's hands. A group of fierce tigers roamed the grassland. , which makes people flee. But if a herd of tame herbivorous buffaloes is frightened and runs wild, their irresistible power is no less powerful than a group of fierce tigers, or even more powerful.

However, what would it be like if thousands of tigers suddenly gave orders like a herd of buffaloes?

A group of cavalry retreated with a roar like thunder. A moment later, another group of cavalry appeared. The horses were fat, strong, and powerful. With the sound of drums, they were fierce and swift. Chaos, uniform uniforms, uniform weapons, three people in a group, instantly converged into a strong iron flow, and they rushed calmly under Guzang City.

Tashi Duoji has never seen such a majestic and neat military appearance. Although such a rapid assembly and such a neat military appearance have no effect in the battle formation, they are at most used to review the guard of honor, but it can have such efficiency. It proves that this Tiger and Wolf Cavalry has strict military discipline. Not only are their individual soldiers strong, but they are also well-trained. Then you can imagine how terrifying this army is.

Before this team disappeared from sight, a more terrifying team appeared again. Their horses were more majestic and taller than the cavalry team just now. They were rare big-eating horses. Such a horse, two of them, He had seen it before, but it was the first time he saw thousands of horses and horses gathered in formation. Black horses, black armor, and black cloaks, like a huge black wave.

There were white disasters and black disasters on the grassland. This cavalry was rolling in. It was simply a man-made black disaster, with a huge momentum that wiped out everything. When they got closer, Tashi Duoji realized that they were not just human beings. Wearing a strange-style plate armor that even covered his head and face, even the horse was wearing iron armor. Then, he discovered that behind the cavalry square formation was a forest of swords.

He had never seen such a huge sword, held in the hands of a group of armored infantry, forming the shape of a mountain of swords. But he knew almost instantly what it was, the Mo Dao Formation! What the prairie knights were most afraid of when they gathered to charge. In the Mo Dao Formation, how many prairie warriors had been strangled and smashed to pieces in such a huge formation, with their own martial prowess unable to be used at all.

Tashi Duoji shivered smartly, jumped back a few steps, rolled down the dirt fence, jumped on a fast horse, and sprinted towards Guzang City.

"Brother, big brother, Xiazhou has strong soldiers and horses, and is invincible!"

Tashi Duoji hurriedly ran back to Qingliang City, his eldest brother's residence. His sister-in-law was drinking tea in the small hall next to the Chenghua Well built by Zhang Huan, the prefect of Wuwei in the Eastern Han Dynasty. When she heard the voice, she hurriedly came up and said: "Tashi Duoji,

Your eldest brother went to Luoshi Temple to seek an audience with the Living Buddha. What's going on now? Is it difficult for the Qiang soldiers to defeat him?"

Tashi Duoji had no time to say more, so he hurriedly said: "I'm going to find my elder brother." After saying that, he turned back and ran out, got on his horse, and went straight to Luo Shi Temple.

There are many temples in Guzang City, the most famous of which is the Hongzang Temple built by Zhang Tianxi, the shepherd of Liangzhou during the Jin Dynasty. It was renamed Dayun Temple during the reign of Wu Zetian. It was presided over by disciples of the Central Plains Zen Sect, and there is also a Haizang Temple.

It was built by Zhang Mao, who proclaimed himself king in Liangzhou more than 400 years ago. Another temple is Luo Shi Temple, which teaches Tantric Buddhism and is the place where the holy monk Kumarajiva of Qiuci State preaches.

Kumarajiva was born into a noble family. His father was from a famous family in India, and his mother was the sister of the King of Kucha. Kumarajiva was extremely smart when he was young. He became a monk with his mother at the age of seven. As an adult, he became proficient in Buddhism and was especially good at scriptures.

During the sixteen years of being detained in Liangzhou to lecture, he improved his Buddhist teachings and became fluent in Chinese. Later, he was invited to China as an eminent monk from the Western Regions and translated thirty-five Buddhist scriptures with his profound insights into Buddhism.

There are three hundred volumes of scriptures, and many of the scriptures read by Xuanzang, the eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, were translated by Kumarajiva.

Today, the master of Luoshi Temple is the most famous Living Buddha in Liangzhou. Luorong Denba’s father devoted himself to the Buddha and gave birth to two sons and one daughter. They both asked the Living Buddha of Luoshi Temple to name them. Today, Liangzhou

The Lord of the Prefecture, Luorong Demba, translated into Chinese means Wisdom Buddha, Tashi Dorje means Auspicious Vajra, and their sister Zeren Lhamo means the Goddess of Longevity.

Luorong Denpa worshiped under the master of Luoshi Temple. Whenever important events happened, he would often ask the master of the temple, the living Buddha. Tashi Duoji was also a disciple of the living Buddha. When he got to the temple, he abandoned his rein and dismounted his horse and entered the temple, but he did not dare to be as anxious as a spark.

Under the guidance of the lama monk, we followed the rules and went straight to the Buddhist hall. When we arrived at the main hall, we saw our eldest brother, Lorong Demba, kneeling devoutly on the futon and listening to the instructions of the Living Buddha. Tashi Duoji did not dare to neglect, so he stepped forward respectfully and saluted the Living Buddha.

, sit on your knees and listen quietly.

"Yang Hao, the reincarnated spiritual body of Naigang Jinggongbao, I teach and protect the Dharma King. This time he raised troops to march westward and reestablished the ancient Xiliang Road. He used thunderbolt means to spread the rain of compassion. This is a great merit.

This is ominous. Luorong Dengba, with your military strength, it is difficult to defeat Yang Hao's advancing cavalry from the west. For the current plan, the only way is to offer the city and beg for surrender in order to protect wealth and honor."

After the living Buddha finished speaking, he glanced at Tashi Dorje and asked slowly: "Tashi Dorje, what do you have to say?"

Tashi Duoji hurriedly fell to the ground and said: "Living Buddha, Tashi Duoji went out of the city to take a look. He saw Xiazhou's army with strong horses and horses, and their momentum was like a rainbow. It is beyond the reach of my Guzang city. I am about to return and tell my brother what I saw."

The living Buddha smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Lorong Denba, this is the pure land of Buddhism. I don't smell the spirit of swordsmanship. You brothers, go out and talk about it."

Luorong Denpa said: "Yes, I wonder if the Living Buddha has any other instructions?"

The Living Buddha touched the top of his head with his palm and said leisurely: "You are the lord of Guzang City. Whether Guzang City is burned down by war or war, or whether it is blessed with great auspiciousness, it all depends on your thoughts. You can become a Buddha with a single thought, and you can become a demon with a single thought.

I have said this to my teacher, you can decide for yourself where to go."

"Yes, I will follow the teachings of living Buddhism."

Luorong Demba and Tashi Dorje kowtowed three times, held their breaths and stepped back.

As soon as the two people left, a person appeared from behind the Buddhist altar. The black veil was lifted and hung on the top of the hat. He had bright eyes, white teeth, and picturesque features. It was Ma Yi.

Ma Yiyan said: "The Living Buddha has a compassionate heart. If Guzang City is saved from the disaster because of the war, it is really the immeasurable merit of the Living Buddha."

The Living Buddha smiled and clasped his hands together and said, "Excellent. Yang Hao reestablished the ancient roads in the Western Regions and brought all the tribes under the unified command. This is a major event that will eliminate the disaster of the war, prosper the place, and benefit the people. Even if there is no letter from the Living Buddha Datcuo, Garu is also

Luorong Dengba, who is willing to do his part for the peace of Liangzhou, has no basis for his ambition to become king. He also asked Miss Ma Yi to reply to Yang Hao, asking him not to start the war lightly and to give Luorong Dengba some time.

With time, he will make a wise decision."

Ma Yi smiled as brightly as a flower, and clasped her slender palms together like a jade girl to pay homage to the Buddha: "The Living Buddha has a compassionate heart, I am big...My family thinks so too. It's just that an army of 150,000 is stationed here and consumes countless money and food every day, so my family's journey to the west is

, will not stay in Liangzhou for a long time. Let’s do this, let’s limit it to three days. If Luorong Denba surrenders to the city within three days, my master will protect him from wealth and honor, and he will also have a place in the Jiefu.

.After three days, the army attacked the city."

"when……"

The bell rang slowly, and Garu Living Buddha and Ma Yi bowed to each other...

In the ancient city of Fenzhou, it’s June and the sun is as scorching as fire.

Amidst the endless chirping of cicadas, the shopkeeper Ximen of Xiaolou Pharmacy leaned lazily on the desk, the fly whisk in his hand fluttering lightly on the desk.

A man wearing a green short-cut trousers and a hero's scarf walked into the drug store quickly and tapped on the case with his finger.

Ximen Xiaolou raised his head and glanced at him listlessly, and saw that this man was very young, with fresh skin and tender flesh, and delicate facial features, but his eyebrows were too heavy, giving him a bit of evil, and there was a little black mole on his lips.

, looked unwelcome. He yawned lazily and said, "What do you want to buy, sir?"

The man in green clothes said bluntly: "Arsenic."

Shopkeeper Ximen yawned again, stretched out his hand and said, "How much does it cost? The landowner will bring it with a book. This kind of medicine is not something you can buy casually."

The man in Tsing Yi looked back and suddenly leaned forward and whispered something to him. The sleepy shopkeeper Ximen Huodi opened his eyes wide. The man in Tsing Yi touched his chin and made several quick movements with his fingers on his chest. Ximen

The shopkeeper stood up hurriedly and stammered: "You are... you..."

The man in green was leaning on the desk, picking up a few medicinal materials at random, and whispered: "Stop talking nonsense, do you have a letter from me?"

Shopkeeper Ximen said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, please come to the back room, young... strong man."

The man in green lowered his voice and said, "No need, it's done right here, take it out."

Shopkeeper Ximen hurriedly took out a warmed letter from his arms, shaking, and the man in Tsing Yi snatched it away, hurriedly browsed the letter, sneered, and gritted his teeth and said: "King Zhelan? How generous! Brother

He is so worthless. If Yang Hao is incompetent, I can bear the injustice for him without embarrassing him. Since he is capable, I will not humble myself and accept the cowardice of his Yang family. Who leaves him?

Isn't it possible? The fate of this life is broken!"

Shopkeeper Ximen only knew her identity, but didn't know what happened to the Zheyang family. He was dumbfounded when he heard her talking to herself, but still didn't understand. Zheziyu said what was in his heart without knowing it, and suddenly he was shocked

There was another person standing at the counter. His tender face could not help but heat up. He glared in embarrassment and said coquettishly: "What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs."

Shopkeeper Ximen was startled, and quickly waved his hand and said: "The old man didn't look at it, he didn't look at anything."

Zhe Ziyu snorted coldly and said: "Since he, General Zhe, has even arranged his retreat, it seems that he doesn't need to worry about me. Just send a message back, saying that I am very free and easy now, so he doesn't have to worry about it."

I miss you."

After Zhe Ziyu said that, he turned around and left. Shopkeeper Ximen couldn't help shouting in desperation: "Fifth Young Master, where are you going?"

Zhe Ziyu didn't answer, and shopkeeper Ximen quickly stepped out from behind the counter. When he caught up to the door and looked up, he saw the street was bustling with people coming and going, but Zhe Ziyu's figure had long since disappeared.

The Zhe family received the news that Zhe Ziyu had appeared in Fenzhou, and found that she was traveling from Xiazhou to Suizhou, and from Suizhou to the west, first south and then east. The entire route was heading towards the Central Plains. The news was immediately spread, and people were shocked.

Secret spies were searching for information about her along the way, but as soon as Zhe Ziyu showed up in Fenzhou, she could no longer be found. The two major secret spy organizations in the northwest, "Feiyu" and "Suifeng", were gathered at all passes, ferries, and trains.

I placed eye spies along the road and on the main road, but could not find her whereabouts. Zhe Ziyu seemed to have disappeared.

At this time, Zhe Ziyu had left Fenzhou and turned westward, arriving at the foot of Liupan Mountain in Longxi.

Liupan Mountain is majestic and towering. It is known as the mountain is 3,000 feet high and dangerously close to the Qin Pass. It has a cool climate. There is no midsummer in spring and autumn. When I arrive here in midsummer, I feel refreshed and relaxed.

Zhe Ziyu traveled all over the world and visited many places, but every time he had a mission and was in a hurry. Only this time he was hurt by love and traveled around the world alone. Instead, he was able to calm down and appreciate the magnificence of the mountains, rivers and swamps, and his heart was also moved by it.

One smooth.

The sun rises in the east, the morning mist fills the air, there are mountains, green oaks and green firs, a mountain spring, and roaring streams, making it seem like a fairyland on earth.

Zhe Ziyu got up from the shack under the stone, washed his face in the clear spring in the mountain, rinsed his mouth and brushed his teeth, tidied up, tied up his hair with a wooden hairpin, walked around in the forest, and then picked up a red hairpin.

The golden pheasant came back, cleaned up by the spring, went back to the shack under the big rock to light a fire, and then set up the golden pheasant to bake. When the golden pheasant gave off a strong smell of meat, she got up and rushed to the horse tied under the big tree.

Next to her, she took out a bag from the horseback package, which contained salt and various condiments. She returned to the fire, turning the roasted golden pheasant while carefully spreading the condiments.

The aroma of the chicken became even more delicious. Zhe Ziyu sniffed it, with a satisfied smile on her face. She took out a flat-mouthed wine bottle from her waist, sat cross-legged, and prepared to feast. She tore off a chicken leg and just took a bite.

, and unscrewed the wine bottle before bringing it to his lips. Hearing a burst of shouting and fighting sounds, Zhe Ziyu frowned, stood up and leaned on the stone, looking towards the place where the sword clanged...
