Chapter 068
"Why?" Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing, erecting his chest, looking at himself: "Although my family's wealth is a little short, I am now a disciple of a great scholar, and there are many opportunities to become generals and prime ministers in the future. Besides, I am also handsome and should be more than enough to match that girl, right? Why do you look down on me so much? Is it jealous?"
Mao Qian was shocked, and then laughed out loud again. She shook her head, threw down a "silly" and urged the horse to leave. After walking a few steps, she turned around and told me: "Don't forget to send me the book earlier."
"Don't worry, I'm doing things." Liu Xiu responded with a little discouraged, but also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, he finally solved this gangster. Although he was not afraid of the Mao family, it was always a good thing to have a lack of enemies. However, Mao's reaction made him curious. What was the origin of that girl? He actually made Mao Qian decide that he had no chance. Although the big man had a big gap between wealth and poverty, there was no natural gap between wealth and poverty. People from poor and humble backgrounds may not necessarily have no future, let alone how many talents he is now?
Could it be that their family is a royal relative? That's not possible. It's not easy to get married with the same surname, but looking at the Mao family, it's impossible for them to have any royal relatives.
Liu Xiu couldn't figure it out, and in the end he could only think that Mao was holding a grudge and deliberately attacked himself. He once again complained about the saint's teachings in his heart, comforted himself with a famous saying "A good man will not fight with a woman", and followed Lu Min to continue on his way.
Shortly after entering Shanggu County from Zhuo County to the north, he entered the Jundu Mountain area. Jundu Mountain is part of Yanshan Mountain, the intersection of the east-west Yanshan Mountains and the north-south Taihang Mountains. It is also one of the main channels to enter Shanggu County from Zhuo County and Guangyang. The mountains are high and the valleys are deep and the terrain is dangerous. It is the location of Jundu Xing, one of the famous eight passes of Taihang. Juyong Pass, a famous later generations, is located in Jundu Xing.
Liu Xiu had known the name of Juyongguan for a long time, and heard about the importance of this place from Yan Rou and Su Shuang, and naturally listed it as the focus in the article "Donghu Zhi". Although Lu Min was very scholarly, he still knew the name of Juyongguan in Junduxing. Now that he saw such a dangerous terrain with his own eyes, he certainly refused to let it go easily. He got off the car and took the young people all the way to observe, marveling at the beautiful prosperity on the mountain, while also being shocked by the steep terrain.
Those boys who usually think they are invincible heroes held their breath at this time, raised their necks and looked at the towering cliffs on both sides, with their mouths wide open, and tsk sounded. Lu Min stopped the car and decided to climb up the mountains to take a look. Liu Xiu was shocked and thought to himself, you were so tired of riding the car, and you still climb the mountain? If you just got a soft foot and fell down from above, it would be a big trouble. You haven't gotten married and had children yet. Teacher Lu still hopes that you will pass on your family line. If you explain it here, Teacher Lu will not hate me to death?
Lu Min refused to listen and insisted on looking up. He also said that the Master climbed the East Mountain and the Small Lu, and climbed Mount Tai and the Small World. I am from Youzhou. Now I am at the foot of Jundu Mountain. How can I pass without climbing? Besides, if I don’t climb to the top of the mountain, how can I see the dangerous points of Jundu Xing?
Liu Xiu was speechless and thought to himself that you thought climbing a mountain was a plane and could see the entire terrain at a glance?
No matter what Liu Xiu thought, Lu Min arranged for the people to guard the carriages and horses, and walked forward. Liu Xiu had no choice but to follow closely and persuade him while walking. Mao Qian rushed up from behind, gave a wink at Liu Xiu, and agreed: "What sir said makes sense. Since this time I was going to inspect, the terrain is of course the most important one, and it is worth it to delay some time. Fortunately, we are not in a hurry, so we can crawl slowly."
Lu Min has been under great psychological pressure these days and has not had a good rest. The mountain is steeper. She climbed dozens of steps while gambling. She was already a little breathless and refused to slow down to show weakness. After hearing Mao Qian's words, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Liu Xiu and said, "Miss Mao said exactly. Let's climb slowly. Let's take a walk and rest. What's wrong with it? Don't you often advise me to combine work and rest? Now that I have the opportunity, why do I push three obstacles and four obstacles?"
Liu Xiu curled his lips and was not easy to persuade him, so he had to follow him. Mao Qian grabbed him and walked upwards with Lu Min. Although she was a woman, she often practiced martial arts and had better physical strength than Lu Min. However, she did not do her best. After walking dozens of steps, she pushed and said that she was tired and wanted to stand there to rest. Since she said that, even if everyone was not so tired, they would not say much. They could only rest with each other. It would be fine if others were not, but Lu Min received a lot of benefits. She took countless breaks along the way and spent nearly two hours finally climbing to a relatively high mountain top.
Standing on the top of the mountain, blowing the cool north wind, the sweat on my body quickly evaporated and the whole body became cool. I suddenly realized that my eyes flashed through the layers of mountains and saw the vast Jixian plain in the distance. The streams were as gentle as virgins. Under the brilliant sunshine, they were like silver ribbons, winding forward along the valleys. When they flowed out of the valley, they gathered into wet water and moistened the vast land. Yanshan and Taihang Mountain were like open arms, holding the vibrant plain in their arms.
Turning around and looking west, the taller mountains blocked their gaze. They could only see the blue sky, white clouds and a corner of the earth occasionally exposed between the mountains. Looking around, they could not see a village.
"To the west is the capital of Shanggu County, and then to the west is Ningcheng, the capital of Wuhuan's magistrate. After passing Ningcheng and leaving Yanshan, it is the grassland where the Hu people gallop. The royal court of Tan Shihuai is not far away from Danhan Mountain." Lu Min said slowly: "It is less than 200 miles away from my Han territory. This Xianbei people are too bullying and too strong. It is tolerant, and who is unbearable."
"You have to endure it even if you can't." Liu He put his waist on his waist and breathed the mountain wind, his face a little gloomy. After a moment, he added: "With Yanshan and Taihang guards, as long as the Hu people don't get the opportunity to attack them, the Wuhuan people will still be able to protect themselves." He raised his hand and drew a circle in vainly: "Once the Wuhuan people also rolled in, I will not have this upper valley in an instant."
Lu Min turned to look at him, showed some forced smile, not refusing. He stood quietly for a moment, and suddenly said, "Deran, do you know what Zhuolu is?"
Liu Xiu knew that Zhuolu was not far from the military capital Shanxi. Legend has it that Huangdi joined forces with Yandi to kill Chiyou here, thus laying the foundation of Yanhuang culture. In Confucian classics, Chiyou is one of the four evil spirits, the incarnation of sin. He brought eighty-one copper-headed and iron-browed brothers with invulnerable swords and guns to defeat Huangdi and Yandi. However, Huangdi, who was transformed into benevolence, finally defeated this almost invincible evil man, established the great Yanhuang Alliance, and then gave birth to countless descendants, and finally ruled three thousand daughters and ascended to heaven across the dragon.
This story was very powerful in later generations. Some people even verified that Chiyou's 81 brothers with copper heads and iron foreheads were robots like Terminator. The Hanba girl invited by Huangdi to help with the war was a nuclear weapon. They were all aliens. No one really believed it anyway.
"I know a little bit." Liu Xiu said modestly.
"This is where Huangdi killed Chiyou." Lu Min gently stroked his forehead and laughed: "It is said that after the Jiuli tribe was defeated, he went east from here and went south. Although Chiyou's body was buried in Zhuolu, its resentment did not dissipate and turned into a red air at all times, rushing straight into the sky, called Chiyou Banner." He turned his head and looked at the young men who listened with relish, and said disapprovingly: "God will punish the unkind people. Even if the Chiyou Banner rushed straight into the sky, what can it be? The solidity of mountains and rivers lies in virtue but not in danger, and the ancients did not bully me."
Liu Xiu blinked without saying a word. He didn't know if Lu Min said this was sincere or perfunctory to Liu and the others. Anyway, he didn't believe in these invincible stories. He was thinking about how to deal with Lu Min's words, but his eyes turned and suddenly saw someone on a mountain in the distance. He looked at it with some surprise, and then he found that there were two figures on a higher mountain about one mile away. He was standing on the top of the mountain, with a cliff like a knife under his feet.
"Senior brother, there seems to be someone over there." Liu Xiu said, pointing to the mountain.
"Is anyone?" Lu Min followed his pointing, but saw nothing. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others surrounded him. After a while, Zhang Fei nodded first: "Yes, there are two people, one of them was wearing green clothes and hidden among the trees, which is not easy to see clearly."
Liu Bei suddenly realized: "I said why did I see only one? So that's the case."
