Walking all the way north along the Luoyan River Bank Avenue, you finally see the horizontal embankment visible in the distance in front of you. Go up the wide stone steps next to the water mound and enter the embankment covered with green willows. When the embankment was built,
At that time, in order to prevent waves and strengthen the dike, Lin Jue ordered people to lay thousands of willow stakes on the slope of the water side of the dike. The willow trees came to life when they encountered water, and they sprouted branches and leaves, forming a
There is a large area of green willows in the shade. As the saying goes, "Willows planted unintentionally create shade." The actions of that year actually made this valley a place of great scenery.
The sun was blazing outside, but as soon as I entered the willow forest, I felt cool and comfortable, and felt comfortable all over. Everyone was already in a happy mood, and when they arrived in such a place, they felt even more happy. Watching the willow leaves fluttering and spreading green
It was full of meaning. In the thick shade, birds were chirping, and warblers were chirping. It was sweet to the ears, and even more, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
"This long lift is comparable to the green embankment of our West Lake in Hangzhou. It's really surprising." The princess praised softly.
Gao Muqing smiled sweetly and said: "That's an exaggerated reputation. How dare you compare it with the green embankment of West Lake in Hangzhou?"
The little princess said: "That's not necessarily true. The Green Willow Embankment in West Lake in Hangzhou is just more famous. I think this place is not inferior to that there. Green Dance Girl, what do you think?"
Lu Wu smiled and said: "That's up to you. I think this place is ours, and the one in Hangzhou belongs to others. It's better here."
After everyone claimed that they were, they realized that everything here had nothing to do with others and belonged to themselves. Although the green willow embankment in Hangzhou is beautiful, it is far less quiet than here.
Under the guidance of Gao Muqing, everyone stood on the embankment and looked towards the northern slope. Only then did they find a jade-like lake exposed between the willow trees. This is the Luoyan Valley Dam that Lin Jue and others worked hard to build. It is this
The water storage of the dam ensures the irrigation of the entire valley and even the cultivated farmland in the Jiming Mountain Valley downstream. It also ensures that there will be no flash floods in the rainy season and no water shortage in the dry season. It can be said that Lin Jue was
When deciding to develop Luoyan Valley, building this dam was a critical step.
"Sister Muqing, is our residence right here?" Qianqian took Gao Muqing's arm and raised her head and asked.
Gao Muqing nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, right in front of you."
Everyone had already expected it, but Gao Muqing said it himself, which still made everyone happy. It was good to be able to move away from the noisy Dazhai. Everyone even thought that living in the village below was not a bad choice. But
Since we didn't stop in any of the villages, there might be other places to stay.
The little princess said to Lin Jue angrily: "My husband is still keeping it a secret. I asked him just now and he said he didn't know. The performance is really like it. He is worthy of being the big boss of Jiangnan Grand Theatre."
Lin Jue spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "I really don't know, Mu Qing, when did there be a building here?"
Gao Muqing smiled but did not answer, and led everyone to the east side of the long embankment. Not far ahead, the terrain suddenly opened up. Under the green pine and cypress slopes on the east slope, a house was hidden among the green willows at the corner of the dam.
Among them, there are actually red bricks and blue tiles, which are quite impressive. From a distance, there are actually trestle water pavilions and garden-like residences.
Gao Muqing pointed with her slender hand and said with a smile: "That's it. My husband asked why a house was built here? You have to ask Liang Qi."
Lin Jue turned to Liang Qi and asked: "Brother Liang, what's going on?"
Liang Qi said with a smile: "Originally, the dam must be guarded. There has always been a team of brothers patrolling the dam day and night. Later, one time, the leader of the village chatted with us and talked about the military advisor's future return to the mountain. Brother Lu said,
The military advisor is used to living in a high-rise building, so he may not be used to it when he returns to the village. Maybe the military advisor is not used to living in the mountain village, so he doesn’t want to come back. I said, then we might as well build a building for the military advisor and the village master at the bend of the embankment.
That's the big house. Anyway, it's not convenient for the leader of the village to live in the village. They are all rough men. If the military advisor doesn't come back to live there, the master of the village should live in a good place. Listen to what I say, all brothers
Agreed, since we have plenty of time besides training, the brothers started building this house. We have many talented people in the village, and everyone can bake bricks and build pavilions. The common people heard that they built houses for the village owners and military advisors.
, all came to help. The house was repaired in less than three months."
Hearing Liang Qi's words, Lin Jue was filled with emotions. He was far away in the capital, but his brothers in the mountains were thinking of him all the time. They even built a mansion for themselves. This was so touching.
"Thank you brothers for your kindness. I'm really touched." Lin Jue bowed his hands and saluted Liang Qi, Lu Yi and others.
Liang Qi, Lu Yi and others hurriedly responded: "It should, it should, no, the military advisor is indeed back. It seems that our house has been repaired correctly."
Liang Qidao: "Let's go and take a look at the house. If there's anything we're not satisfied with, brothers can work together to repair it."
Lin Jue laughed loudly and was moved in his heart. Gao Muqing laughed and said: "This house is very nice. It lives near the water and has a great view. When I have nothing to do, I row a boat to the dam to play. There are water chestnuts in spring and new lotus roots in summer.
I have picked them all with my own hands. The herring in the lake is very plump. In late spring, pine flowers fly to the water. The fish in the lake eat the pine flowers and grow up. It tastes extremely delicious. Unfortunately, it is difficult to catch. Brother Liang and the others fished the net with great fanfare for several times.
We didn't catch many. But in the morning and evening, they swam around in groups, and the numbers were astonishing."
Lin Jue smiled at Guo Bing and said: "What kind of fish can escape the hands of the prince? The prince can fish again."
Guo Bing stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Yes, I don't care about anything anymore. Don't bother me anymore from now on. I will just fish here and live a leisurely life."
The princess said angrily: "I'm afraid you can't help but worry about it. It would be a good thing if you can fish with peace of mind."
While everyone was laughing, they moved forward. When they arrived at the house, they found that the house was indeed very spacious and comfortable. Although it was not a magnificent palace, most of the scenery was natural objects. But it had obviously been carefully taken care of.
The house is not small in area. Although it is a large house, it is actually divided into several courtyards. Behind the main hall, vertical doors are connected so that they do not interfere with each other. The prince and others chose to live on the west side because it is close to the water and has a better view. The Lin family
Everyone lives on the east side. Just open a gate in the east wall and you can enter and exit completely independently.
When everyone was busy choosing their place to live, Lin Jue took Liang Qi and others and thanked him repeatedly. Although he said that he lived alone in such a house, he seemed to be out of touch with the villagers. But Lin Jue was indeed used to living in a mansion.
The compound. As the saying goes, "It is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality." Lin Jue would feel uncomfortable if he were allowed to live in some dilapidated, low and cramped place.
…
In the evening, the sunset is brilliant.
In the gathering hall of the Luoyan Valley Dazhai, all the leaders of the large and small cottages were lined up. Eighty-nine leaders of the Luoyan Army, including those from the branch village, also rushed to the cottage. In addition, Shen who followed Lin Jue to the mountain Tan Mabin and other leaders of the palace guards, Sun Dayong, the captain of the Lin Family Nursing Home, and several team captains were among them. There were fifty or sixty people in total.
This was the first meeting held with the participation of all key personnel two days after Lin Jue's return. Everyone gathered around the long table in the Juyi Hall and sat in dense circles for as many as three times.
The atmosphere in the hall was lively, with everyone greeting and joking with each other. It was very lively. Soon after, Lin Jue and Gao Muqing walked in side by side from the door of the hall, and everyone stood up and saluted.
"I have met the leader of the stronghold and the military advisor!"
Lin Jue and Gao Muqing held their hands together, but their expressions were a little serious. Under the gaze of everyone, they came to stand in front of the two big chairs at the end of the long table.
"Brothers, please sit down." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Everyone thanked them and took their seats. Lin Jue and Gao Muqing also took their seats.
"Brothers," Lin Jue said in a deep voice, "I have summoned everyone here today because I have an important matter to discuss with you brothers. Today's meeting is of great significance. It can be said that it is related to my future in Luoyan Valley. Therefore, I hope that everyone will maintain a correct attitude, participate seriously, and treat today's meeting with caution and seriousness."
Everyone's hearts trembled, their expressions became serious, and their expressions became focused. Everyone had realized that something big was going to happen earlier, and now it seemed that it was indeed the case.
Lin Jue nodded with satisfaction and continued in a deep voice: "You must have heard some news, and there are also some rumors circulating in the village. Here, I will give you a briefing first, so that you know what happened, and there is no need to keep secrets. Inquiring around, I became suspicious. Yes, something happened outside, and a big change happened in the court. To put it simply... King Guo Xu of Huai launched a palace coup with the support of Prime Minister Lu Zhongtian of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He killed the crown prince Guo Mian, Killed his father, the queen and the queen mother, and usurped the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty. A few days ago, he had ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now is the first year of Xingguo, and is no longer the Qingfeng year."
Before Lin Jue finished speaking, there was a sound of gasping in the Juyi Hall. Many people heard the news for the first time, and many people just heard about it and didn’t know much about it. Hearing Lin Jue say such a shocking and bizarre thing, I personally Everyone was stunned and stunned.
"This... this Guo Xu is simply worse than a beast. He is capable of killing his father, brother, and the queen mother? What is this if not a beast?"
"Yes, he is really a beast. Although it has nothing to do with us who becomes the emperor, but Guo Xu is too much of a beast. He has no moral integrity at all. How can the world obey such a man when he is the emperor?"
"This Great Zhou Dynasty is probably about to run out of energy. How can such a person be the emperor and conquer the public? The people of Great Zhou Dynasty have really suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. To be exposed to such an emperor and to have to kneel down and surrender to him is simply worse than swallowing. Flies are disgusting."
"Isn't that right? We are still comfortable. Guo Xuke never wants us to surrender to him. We in Luoyangu are not afraid of anything, and I, the emperor, can't even think about it. Let alone such an emperor."
