Chapter 147 Xanadu
Jiang Feng looked in the direction of her finger. There was a small town not far from the fruit, hidden among the mountains.
Although the two were lost, they still had a general direction.
This small town is definitely not Xiangyang, it may be a county town under Xiangyang, or it may be affiliated with other counties.
Outside the small town, there is a piece of pink, full of peach blossoms, like a pink ocean, extremely beautiful.
Xiao Qiao's heart moved and said, "Why don't we go and have a look?"
Jiang Feng thought, but couldn't find the way back to Xiangyang City for the time being. He went down to ask the locals, maybe the sea could point a way, so he nodded and said, "Let's go!"
Xiao Qiao spread her arms and said coquettishly: "I'm tired again, I want to ride a horse!"
Jiang Feng smiled wickedly and said, "It's such a pleasant decision to ride a horse during the day and a horse at night! Let's go!"
...
The town looked quite close, but I didn't expect it to be quite far away when I walked.
Sometimes I clearly feel that it is right in front of me, but after I climbed a mountain, I found that there are more mountains to climb over.
When I came to that peach blossom forest like this, it was already evening.
In the forest, a wide but gentle river runs across the east and west.
The water surface was filled with pink petals, and boats were coming in and out from time to time, some were filled with people, and some were filled with goods.
After Jiang Feng inquired, he realized that this place was called Guo County. The river at his feet was the only way to the county town.
As for which prefecture and county Guo County belongs to, even the locals don’t know. Perhaps it has been half isolated from the world due to traffic congestion.
When asked how to leave Xiangyang, the locals said that it took two days and two nights to take a carriage.
Hearing that he had to take a carriage, Xiao Qiao refused in his heart and said, "Fengfeng, we are all at the edge of the city. Why don't we go to the city to rest for a night and rush to go tomorrow?"
"Okay!"
Jiang Feng himself was also very tired, so he took a boat into the city with Xiao Qiao.
...
The small town is surrounded by mountains and beautiful mountains and rivers, and the faces of the locals are filled with happiness.
When I arrived at the city gate, I saw that it suddenly became clear inside. What a paradise!
Jiang Feng was shocked to find that there were actually many soldiers in the city walls, with strong physiques and well-trained. At a rough look, there should be as many as 10,000 people!
Jiang Feng said curiously: "Baijia, do you Guo County often fight wars?"
The boatman shook his head and said, "There hasn't been a war here for nearly a hundred years!"
Jiang Feng was even more curious and said, "Since there is no war, why are there so many soldiers in the city?"
The boatman said: "These soldiers do not belong to the court or any princes, but private soldiers of the Guo family."
"Guo family?"
"Well, the Guo family is the largest clan in our Guo County. Hundreds of years ago, the princes invaded us, and it was the Guo family who helped us resist foreign enemies. Later, although there were no foreign enemies invasions, the Guo family's tradition of raising private soldiers has been passed down to this day."
Jiang Feng thought, it was really aggrieved to live in this small Guo County!
If you are under your own hands, just these ten thousand people, you might be able to break into a world!
...
Speaking of this, the boatman looked at Jiang Feng curiously and said, "Young Master doesn't know the Guo family. Didn't it come for the proposal?"
"Proposal?" Jiang Feng said curiously, "What's going on?"
The boatman looked cheerful and said endlessly: "Three years ago, Guo Yong, the head of the Guo family, passed away. Now the head of the Guo family is Guo Zhao, the daughter of Guo Yong. This daughter was born in winter, but on the day of her birth, the peach forest was full of peach blossoms. Guo Yong thought this girl was extraordinary, so he gave her the word "Queen" for her, which means the king of the daughters, so everyone called her "Queen Guo".
"Queen Guo?"
Jiang Feng was surprised when he heard this.
Guo Zhao, Queen Guo, and Jiang Feng certainly know!
In history, after Zhen Mi was sentenced to death by Cao Pi, Queen Guo became Cao Pi's queen!
In other words, it won’t be long before this Queen Guo will marry Cao Pi!
Unexpectedly, I accidentally came to Queen Guo’s territory.
...
The boatman said again: "Mr. Guo is not only charming, but also shocked the world with his talent and military law. Unlike Guo Yong's policy of governing the city in a corner, Guo has always wanted to go out and make a difference. Before March, Queen Guo announced that she would choose a spouse. If a man could pass her test, she would not only be able to hold the beauty, but also get all the property of their Guo family, including 10,000 soldiers."
Jiang Feng suddenly realized and said, "No wonder you asked me if I came to propose!"
The boatman said: "Since Queen Guo announced that she would choose a mate, our Guo County has become lively. Not only the locals in Guo County, but many people even travel thousands of miles to win the hearts of Queen Guo. At first, Queen Guo was quite interested, but later found that these suitors were mostly mediocre people or fame-seeking people. In order to save time, Queen Guo announced that a uniform mate selection ceremony would be held every seven days, and tomorrow is Queen Guo’s day for mate selection, so our Guo County is so lively today."
"So that's it!" Jiang Feng seemed to have some understanding.
At this time, the boatman looked at Jiang Feng and joked: "I see that the young master is also a handsome talent, why not try it? If you get the favor of the queen, you can become a master from now on!"
Jiang Feng's heart was already ready to move.
What he was greedy for was not Queen Guo’s beauty, after all, his wife was beautiful one!
What really touched him was the 10,000 soldiers under Queen Guo!
If there are so many ten thousand people, even if Wang Wei and Zou Kai have no information for the time being, they can compete with Xiangyang for the best!
...
After hearing about Queen Guo’s deeds, Xiao Qiao seemed to be very interested, and quietly pulled Jiang Feng and said, “Feng Feng, why don’t you try it!”
Jiang Feng was a little embarrassed to discuss this in front of the boatman and hugged Xiao Qiao and said, "Don't make trouble, you are my queen!"
"Stop coming!" Xiao Qiao said, "I can accept my sister and Xiangxiang. Can't I tolerate a Queen Guo?"
Hearing this, the boatman felt numb!
"Good, what kind of family is this!"
...
After getting off the boat, Jiang Feng found a restaurant nearby and feasted with Xiao Qiao to have a good time.
After eating and drinking, I found an inn again.
After running around for so long, I can finally have a good rest now!
After taking a shower, Xiao Qiao lay on Jiang Feng and said, "Feng Feng, let's go and see the Queen Guo tomorrow. I really want to see it!"
Jiang Feng said: "What's the best thing? You won't go back?"
Xiao Qiao said: "What can I do when I go back now? I'm still trapped in Xiangyang City and helpless."
This sentence hit Jiang Feng's pain point, and he sighed and stopped talking.
After a while, Xiao Qiao said again: "Fengfeng, if you don't go tomorrow, I'll go by myself!"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "You are going to marry too?"
"Yes!" Xiao Qiao said, "Can't I dress up as a man?"
