"It's just..." Magistrate Du looked at Liu Ben, a little confused: "The Seven Stars Tower is seventy miles away from the city, and it is in the mountains, so the road is very long!"
"So what!" Wang Xian was very willful and said with a big wave of his hand: "Anyway, it's fun to go anywhere, and going into the ravine is quite interesting this season." He also made a shooting gesture: "You can still hunt.
Hey!" As he said that, he happily boasted about how accurate his marksmanship was. He and his grandson once hunted several tigers, leopards and bears. He was so excited that he wanted to shoot with a musket.
Some wild beasts are back.
"This..." County Magistrate Du looked at Liu Ben for help, but Liu Ben looked at his nose and nose and had no intention of persuading him. It turned out that Mr. Tai had already figured it out. Anyway, Wang Xian didn't listen to persuasion at all.
Just let him go through the trouble. Climb the mountain road, soak his feet, and the pain will stop after he has suffered enough... Of course, Liu Ben will never support it. Otherwise, when Wang Xian comes back in despair, how can he have the confidence to say, "
I know, 'This kind of bullshit to relieve anger?
"It's done, it's settled," Wang Xian picked up the tablecloth and wiped his hands, stood up and said, "Let's set out early tomorrow morning, let's go hunting first, and then go to the Seven Stars Terrace for a barbecue!"
"Hey..." Liu Ben didn't say a word. Magistrate Du was in no position to object, so he had to timidly agree and was ready to go...
As expected, Wang Xian was so excited that he got up before dawn the next day. Normally, he would sleep until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. It was like a different person. Under the urging of the imperial envoy, the guards quickly got up to have a meal, and then went to the city gate.
We set off as soon as we opened.
Seeing Liu Ben sitting on the horse looking listless, Wang Xian smiled and said: "Old Liu, if you don't want to go, just rest in the county seat. There is no need to hold on."
"Haha..." Liu Ben was not in the mood to pay attention to him.
"Then I don't care about you anymore," Wang Xian was in high spirits, and his whole body seemed to have endless energy. He suddenly pinched the horse's belly and said, "Let's take a step first!" The horse felt pain under his crotch and neighed.
He ran out wildly. Gu Xiaolian, Lingxiao, Zhou Yong and other guards also galloped after Wang Xian!
"Your Majesty, please be careful..." The group of people ran away, but Magistrate Du was still shouting and reminding them.
"Save your efforts, he will listen to you." Magistrate Liu Benbai glanced at Du County, sighed helplessly, and ordered: "Let the soldiers catch up, and be sure to protect the imperial envoy." The leader of the team was a commander.
The envoy took the order in a deep voice and led more than a hundred horsemen to follow closely behind Wang Xian and his party.
Among the thousand guards sent by Ma Zhong to Wang Xian, nine hundred were horseless infantry. The only ones with horses were these more than a hundred cavalry. Moreover, today was just out for fun and there was no need for so many guards, so the horseless ones
The infantry were all left in the city, and only the mounted cavalry came out.
However, Wang Xian also had more than a hundred bodyguards, including horses of course. More than two hundred cavalry were enough to protect the safety of the imperial envoy.
Liu Ben and Magistrate Du were both civil servants and rarely rode horses, so after riding for more than 20 miles, they felt the inside of their legs burning, as if they had been stuffed with two pieces of red-hot charcoal. The pain made both of them cry.
We were about to come down, but when we entered the mountain, it was impossible to sit in a sedan chair. I could only lie on the horse with my butt sticking out, trying to avoid the injured part from coming into contact with the saddle. But it was so tiring, and my back would hurt after a while.
, my eyes were dazzled, and I could hardly hold on anymore.
"Sir, Mr. Du," County Magistrate Du said, sweating profusely, "otherwise you can just rest here. You have to leave the mountain from here anyway."
Liu Ben was very moved, but after thinking again and again, he shook his head, gritted his teeth and rode into the mountain.
"Hey..." Magistrate Du sighed. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for Mr. Nitai or his own chrysanthemum...
After entering the mountain, the scenery became really beautiful. It was the peak of spring, the mountain flowers were blooming, the trees were green, the breeze was blowing, and the birds were chirping. Even Liu Ben and Magistrate Du felt better unconsciously. They simply dismounted.
He walked, but his steps were a bit strange. Looking from behind, he looked like two male ducks walking.
The two of them enjoyed the spring scenery, recited poems, and both felt very comfortable. Especially Liu Ben, who did not have Wang Xian to bother him for the time being. He felt very relieved. When he was happy, he wrote seven or eight poems in succession, and Magistrate Du naturally worked hard.
The joyful time always flew by quickly, and before they knew it, it was noon. The two of them could no longer walk, so under the service of their subordinates, they sat down by the mountain spring on the side of the road to rest. Only then did Liu Ben think of Wang Xianlai.
Set up a pergola and look into the distance, all you can see is the mountain road
