Chapter 14 Crisis

Daxian Mountain is known as the most dangerous mountain in the world, and the Muling Pass at its mountain pass has been an important military place in the past. It has the potential of "one man can guard the pass, but ten thousand men cannot open it". This area has undulating mountains, winding Great Wall, and green trees.

, the grass is luxuriant, the majestic pass stands tall, and the scenery is beautiful.

When they reached this point, Zheng Wei and the others couldn't help but jump out of the car and stop to admire it.

"Such a majestic scene is truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship!" Zheng Wei looked around and couldn't help but marvel.

Liao Wennan took two steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, chanting softly: "The blue frost is cold, the wind is cold, the ancient trees are so slender, I climb the building with a light body, and I look back and wander wildly."

Zheng Wei doesn't like to write poetry, but his grandfather and father are both knowledgeable people, and he can understand its true meaning with his ears and eyes.

She couldn't help but praise: "Brother Liao is so courageous!"

This was the first time Zheng Wei had looked at her. Liao Wennan couldn't help but feel a little complacent. She felt that the books she had read during those years of being locked up in the palace had finally come into use. She couldn't help but continue to show off and asked with a bright smile:

"Girl, do you know why this Daxian Mountain is also called Muling Pass?"

Zheng Wei rolled her eyes and curled her lips where she couldn't see her, thinking silently: Here we go again, just like those young men from aristocratic families in Kyoto, like a peacock that opens its tail at any time!

Zheng Wei was in a good mood today, and she was willing to chat with him, smiling innocently: "But what's the allusion?"

Seeing this, Liao Wennan cleared his throat vigorously and began to tell a story: "I can't talk about allusions, but there is a beautiful legend. It is said that thousands of years ago, the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Mu, Wang Jiman, traveled all over the world and came to Da Xian. He saw the mountains here.

It is majestic, full of spiritual energy, beautiful scenery, mild climate, and extremely happy mood. He ordered the construction of a palace and stayed here. After a long time, King Mu's beloved concubine Sheng Ji died of illness and was buried on the mountain. Later generations paid tribute to King Mu's beloved concubine Sheng Ji.

The mausoleum is here, so the mountain is called Mu Ling."

Zheng Wei frowned lightly and said doubtfully: "I remember that there was a volume of "Zuo Zhuan" in my grandfather's study: in the fourth year of Duke Xi's reign, Guan Zhongyun said, "The land of Qi is as far south as Muling." He also said: "Give me the shoes of the late king.

As for the sea, it reaches the river in the west, Muling in the south, and Wudi in the north.'"

Liao Wennan's face turned slightly sarcastic when he heard this.

Zheng Wei still didn't let him go and smiled narrowly: "The Biography of Emperor Mu clearly states that Sheng Ji was buried south of the Lechi."

Liao Wennan smiled awkwardly: "It's just a legend, don't take it seriously!"

Then he asked curiously: "The girl is so familiar with this level."

Zheng Wei pursed her lips and smiled: "Knowing that our trip must pass through Muling Pass, and having heard of Muling Pass's reputation for a long time, I borrowed some books from Mr. Song of the Governor's Office to learn more about it."

After resting for a while, they continued on their way. They passed Xiaoguan and Daguan along the way, but they were not interrogated, and they did not meet the guards. Everyone was a little surprised. At noon, they arrived at the Muling Pass, where there is a

In Muling Pavilion, the chief of the pavilion is the highest general here.

They have to submit the customs clearance documents from the governor's office to the chief of the pavilion for review, and they can only release them after confirming that they are correct.

"Get out of the car and check!" A sergeant wearing an iron jacket and razor-sleeved armor stopped in front of the carriage.

He Li quickly took the customs clearance document and handed it to the sergeant, explaining: "This is the customs clearance document specially approved by Governor Zhao. The carriage is full of female relatives, so it is not appropriate to get out of the carriage!"

"In a special period, the Xianbei people have been ready to move in the past few days. All passers-by must be strictly interrogated. This is also the order of our general."

The sergeant was justified, and He Li could not refute it for a moment.

When he wants to continue to explain, "Our old lady is..."

"He Li, no need to say more!" He was interrupted before he finished speaking. The carriage door was opened. Zheng Wei and Ah Qiao helped Mrs. Zheng get out of the carriage, followed by Liao Wennan.

The sergeant looked at them back and forth. Zheng Wei looked up and found that the sergeant was actually a fair-faced man. His appearance was only a little worse than Liao Wennan's, and he was more heroic than him, but his eyes made people very uncomfortable.

They looked like cattle and sheep waiting for a price.

Zheng Wei frowned and looked away, his eyes falling on the two sergeants behind the white-faced sergeant. The two men were tall, ordinary-looking, and dark-skinned. They looked more like sergeants wearing sleeve armor. However, the armor should be changed.

A little tight.

Then Zheng Wei's eyes narrowed, and she quickly looked at the white-faced sergeant again, and slowly took a breath to calm down.

"Wait," the white-faced sergeant said, then turned and walked towards the pass behind him.

She turned around and said coquettishly to Mrs. Zheng: "Grandma, the sun is too hot. How about we go back to the carriage and wait."

As he spoke, he winked secretly at Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng fondly nodded the tip of her fair nose, and said with a smile: "Grandma is a little tired too, let's go and have a rest first."

After helping Mrs. Zheng back to the carriage, Zheng Wei turned back and looked at He Li intently, "Uncle He, I'm tired from the journey. Come drink some water and eat some food."

He Li was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and walked up to Zheng Wei. Zheng Wei took the food and whispered in a low voice: "If something goes wrong later, retreat immediately."

He Li had a puzzled look on his face, "These three sergeants are quite strange. The two at the back are wearing Hu people's leather boots." Zheng Wei explained hurriedly.

He immediately understood that the sergeants of the Zhou Dynasty could only wear round-toed high-heeled boots. In the Zhou Dynasty, a pair of Hu people's leather boots was worth one month's military salary of an ordinary sergeant.

He Li's expression immediately became solemn.

"Relax, don't show any flaws." Zheng Wei reminded in a low voice, then handed over the food bag in his hand, raised his little face and said with a smile: "Uncle He, share it with everyone, just have some steamed cakes to take a rest.

.”

"Thank you, girl." He Li tried his best to relax, took it with a smile, shared the cake with the brothers, and gave it a heads up.

Zheng Wei pulled Liao Wennan and finally got into the carriage.

He Li looked at the remaining steamed cakes in the bag, walked up to the two sergeants, handed the food in his hands, and said with an enthusiastic smile: "You must be hungry at this time, let's eat some cushion first."

As he said this, he took a piece of cake and ate it first.

The two sergeants hesitated and still did not speak. He Li smiled and handed it forward again.

The two looked at each other and each took a piece of cake.

He Li took the opportunity to observe the pass in front of him and realized that the surroundings were surprisingly quiet. The arch of the pass in front of him looked like a tiger's mouth ready to swallow people.

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and reached out to pat the man in armor in front of him. The man subconsciously leaned back and broke away.

He Li happened to see the small iron ring on the earlobe of the man under the iron armor.

Only slaves would have their ears pierced, but how could a slave become a sergeant in the Zhou Dynasty?

At this time, the white-faced sergeant just walked out, and He Li shouted with all his strength: "Withdraw!"

The crowd immediately started to move. He Li and a few people stood in the front, while the others got on their horses, turned the carriage's head, and escorted Zheng Wei and the others to retreat.

When the white-faced sergeant saw this, he knew he had been exposed and shouted: "Catch them!"

In an instant, dozens of sergeants rushed around and rushed toward He Li and the others.

The two sides soon got into a fight.

The carriage hadn't gone very far when a long whip flew out of thin air. The whip wrapped around the door like a dexterous hand. The two parties exerted force and the door was violently pulled down.
