The disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes away like a thread.

Although the injuries are getting better day by day, most of the scabs from the arrows have fallen off, and the stitches on the wounds under the waist have been removed, but the internal injuries are still there. The bumps are slightly bigger, and Li Chengzhi feels that his waist is pulling at the flesh and hurting.

Don't even think about riding fast. Even if you are riding a horse, you can only rely on the reins. Walking and walking, it took another four days to reach the foot of Longshan Mountain.

Five hundred white cavalry protected Li Chengzhi and marched along the Silk Road to Xiaoguan.

This is the famous Xiaoguan Ancient Road, which was the earliest Silk Road opened by Zhang Qian sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The road further south bypasses Longshan, follows the Wei River, passes through Dashan Pass, crosses the Qinling Mountains, and passes through Tianshui to Wuwei. It is now called the New Road and was most prosperous during the Tang Dynasty.

There is another road further south, which is a unique product of the Southern and Northern Dynasties: it starts from Jiankang (Nanjing) to Yizhou (Chengdu), then passes through Longqu (now Aba, Sichuan) at the junction of the Southern Dynasty and Tuyuhun, and passes by the Qinghai Lake.

Tuyuhun Royal City, then to Zhangye, and then westward.

This route was dedicated to the business of the people of the Southern Dynasties, but the road was not generally difficult. Most of the time, the Sogdians would still go west via the Wei Kingdom from the Xiaoguan Ancient Road or the New Road.

This is also the reason why Gao Zhao ordered his people to cut off all the passages from Luoyang to the Western Regions but failed to find Gao Wenjun and Wei Yu: the group of Hu merchants did not go north at all, but went south, from Liangjing and Tuyuhun to Zhangye...

Along the way, from time to time, you will meet Sogdian people wearing dome-shaped hats that are unique to the green religion temples. Some are in pack teams, and some are in convoys, ranging from dozens to hundreds of people, and most of them are carrying silk.

.

When they see Bai Qi, the caravan, no matter how big or small, will stay away from it. When they see the tooth flag of the Guanzhong garrison, nine times out of ten, Sabao, the leader of the caravan, will come to pay homage and give him some glazed beads or something.

Silver and tin wine glasses and other utensils.

Wine vessels are not difficult to make, and the Han people can make them even thinner. Da Xi doesn't care much about it, but translucent glass beads are rare, and Da Xi is very novel.

Li Chengzhi was very generous, saying that he would not take any of them and leave them all to Da Xi.

"This is a rare thing, not even seen in Luo Jing!" Da Xi held up a red and green bead as big as a pigeon egg and said, "It's also great to give as a gift. Girls like it the most.

."

He winked as he spoke, clearly hinting to him that giving it to Gao Wenjun was enough.

Li Rui on the side couldn't help but pout.

When Lang Jun was in Hexi, the rewards he gave to the most ordinary soldiers were many times better than this. Let him give them to Ms. Gao?

In Lang Jun's words: I can't afford to lose this person...

Li Chengzhi just shook his head: "Just keep it!"

Seeing that he really didn't want it, Da Xi didn't show any pretense and asked his cronies to put it away. Then he sighed sadly: "I think you and Gao Wenjun are already determined?"

What else can we do?

Li Chengzhi, on the contrary, Captain Kuan said to him: "Don't worry, I am not a reckless person, I am measured!"

As soon as he heard this, the flesh on Da Xi's face couldn't help but twitch.

Do you have any sense of proportion?

If you really want to be sensible, you should stay as far away from that Gao Wenjun as possible...

But he knew very well Li Chengzhi's temperament. Once he made a decision, even nine oxen would not be able to pull him back, and he was afraid that even Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi would not be able to stop him. So Da Xi could only act in a hurry.

The two of them talked without a word, getting closer and closer to Xiao Guan.

A mile or two away, Li Chengzhi ordered the cavalry to stop their horses and sent Li Rui to the pass to submit the customs clearance letter.

This is the proper meaning, just like the army is not allowed to enter the city without permission, etc., these are all rules that existed in the pre-Qin Dynasty.

Li Chengzhi has extremely strict laws and always sets an example. Even if it is his biological father Li Shixian who is guarding Xiaoguan now, he will not break the rules.

But when Li Rui came back, he said that Li Shixian was not there. Instead, Xi Kangsheng left a warrant, ordering Li Chengzhi and Da Xi to enter the pass, and then leave Baiqi in Xiaoguan, and ask them to go to Wolong Mountain at the southern foot of Kongtong Mountain to find him back.

Asked again, Xi Kangsheng was hunting at the foot of the mountain with hundreds of civil and military officials.

Li Chengzhi felt so surprised.

Jingzhou is full of devastation, how can Xi Zhenshou be so relaxed and relaxed?

"It is precisely because everything is waiting to be done, so we need to stabilize the people's hearts!" Da Xi explained, "It seems that you have forgotten that it is already the beginning of May. It is not just about hunting. During the Dragon Boat Festival, there must be sacrifices and prayers to the sky...

…”

Li Chengzhi paused fiercely.

It’s the Dragon Boat Festival!

Counting on one's fingers, it has been more than a month since the day we left Xiaoguan?

Li Chengzhi was a little confused: "Can you race dragon boats?"

Will you be able to race dragon boats?

Are you kidding me?

Daxi took a closer look and realized that Li Chengzhi seemed to be wandering in the world, and he didn't know what he was remembering. He was not mocking the Xianbei people for not knowing how to row.

"Of course there are competitions, but most of them are popular south of the Yellow River... Northerners still like to hunt..."

In fact, it’s just that the Xianbei people don’t like them, such as Xi Kangsheng and Da Xi.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the major festivals, and dragon boat racing also evolved from military activities. The Yuan and Wei dynasties who dreamed of crossing the Yangtze River would not miss it, and they paid more attention to it than New Year's Day.

It’s not just dragon boat racing, but also flying paper kites, wrapping rice dumplings, burning mugwort, wrapping five silk threads, hanging yellow talismans, and drinking cattail wine...

There is no difference from more than a thousand years ago.

Li Chengzhi suddenly thought that as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival approached in his previous life, he was as tired as a dog.

Can't go back...

He said desolately: "Let's go!"

……

After passing Xiaoguan, heading north is Chaona, and further south is ancestral home county.

The ancestral home county was formerly called Jingyang, which is now the seat of Longdong County. The origin of the name Jingyang City was probably in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, when the county was moved to Xianyang.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was great chaos in Chang'an, and some county residents migrated here from Xianyang, so they named it after the "ancestral residence".

Wolong Mountain, where Xi Kangsheng hunts, is under the jurisdiction of his ancestral home county and is also the source of the Jinghe River. It is less than ten miles away from Songjiabao and less than forty miles away from Lijiabao.

There are many peaks on the mountain, winding bridges and secluded paths, and thousands of miles of verdant green below the mountain. The scenery is endless and beautiful.

Nearly a hundred horses galloped back and forth. After the horses' hooves passed by, all the millet, millet, wheat and bean sprouts in the field were trampled to pieces.

From a distance, Li Chengzhi could hear the laughter of men and women, and there were several kites flying high in the wind above his head.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Riding a horse and flying a kite?

This is possible, only God can do it.

It is not a small crime to let a horse trample young crops. Are you not afraid that Xi Kangsheng will settle the score with you?

Li Chengzhi was suddenly startled after he had just finished complaining.

Only then did he remember: Putting aside the 100,000 acres of land owned by the Hu family, the more than 40,000 acres of fertile land at the foot of Kongtong Mountain was still owned by Li.

Moreover, Xi Kangsheng personally agreed that regardless of the amount of interest collected in the autumn, half a catty of taxes would not have to be paid to the government, and would all be used as expenses when Li Chengzhi launched an army to quell the rebellion.

Are these fields that have been trampled to pieces by horses all my grandfather’s fields?

He pointed to the distance and looked at Da Xi coldly: "How do you calculate this?"

Da Xi was stunned at first, but then he realized: these fields all belong to the Song family of Li Chengzhi's third brother Li Chengxue's in-law family... Oh... no, they will not be returned to Song Lishen until next year, and they still belong to Li Chengzhi this year.

Da Xi looked at the distance and said very confidently: "Even during the march, my father would strictly order the soldiers not to trample on the fertile fields. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed. Not to mention when hunting?"

Li Chengzhi also thought it was impossible.

The story of Cao Cao replacing his head with his hair does not only exist in novels, but also happened in history. This shows that all dynasties have attached great importance to Qingtian.

I guess these bastards are crazy.

Hearing the cute laughter getting closer and closer, and taking a closer look, the dozen riders in front were all wearing brocade hats and mink fur coats. Li Chengzhi didn't know that they were a group of dandies.

Thinking again of the hungry refugees who had to exchange children and eat each other when Liu Huiwang was pacified, Li Chengzhi suddenly felt a trace of evil fire in his heart.

He sneered at Da Xi, "Hide your face and don't make any noise. Let's see how grandpa teaches these bastards how to behave..."

Da Xi sighed quietly.

Li Chengzhi is planning to trick people again.

Moreover, he was the one who suffered the consequences. Even when the lawsuit came before the emperor, he was the one who took the lead.

It is indeed necessary to give it a good treatment, otherwise if word spreads, people will think that it is Xi Kangsheng’s connivance.

Da Xi nodded and put down his mask.

The dozen or so riders were running closer and closer, and in an instant they were about ten feet away from Li Chengzhi. The men were wearing light clothes and thin furs, and the women were wearing red and green clothes. They were all boys and girls.

The first one is particularly eye-catching: he is not generally strong, he is seven feet tall (one meter nine). But just like Li Chengzhi, he has dark and furry lips but not many beards. He is only sixteen or seventeen years old at most.

Still a teenager.

The young man carries a long bow on his back, wears a black shirt, and wears a sable tail hat on his head. The tail of the hat flutters in the wind, which is very majestic. He also has excellent riding skills. He flies a kite with two hands and controls the horse with only his legs. The young man unexpectedly

Youxia turned around and cheered: "Xiaojin, look, our best..."

He also looked very Zhou Zheng. Li Chengzhi immediately thought of Li Zhang and Li Xian, who were also so muscular, but not as tall as the one in front of him.

The young man also saw Li Chengzhi and the white cavalry, and thought they were the sons of one of Xi Kangsheng's official families, or the less prominent ones.

Don’t blame him for his poor eyesight.
