Sun Quan assigned Zhang Zhao to greet Long Fei. Long Fei was not angry. It looked like the two families were about to fall out, and he didn't care about welcoming him or not. After entering Moling City, Zhang Zhao sent Long Fei to the post house, and the welcoming ceremony was over.
There were no drums and music to greet the guests, and there was no welcome from the people. It was just plain and quiet.
Dian Wei said angrily: "This Sun Quan is so shameless. He treated us like this. I really want to rush into his general's mansion and twist off his head and finish it off!"
Long Fei said: "Don't get excited, contact Jiang Gan immediately and ask him to talk about the situation in Jiangdong first, and then we will make a decision."
Jiang Gan didn't know that Long Fei had come to Moling in person. No one from Jiangdong, big or small, had seen him these days. Gan was so anxious that he couldn't do anything. His mouth was full of bubbles and he felt uncomfortable talking. Long Fei poured it for Jiang Gan himself.
He drank a glass of water and looked at Jiang Gan's swollen lips and shook his head: "Sir, why are you bothering? Isn't it just a trivial matter? What if they unite? Are we still afraid of Sun Quan?"
Jiang Qian nodded hurriedly and said in a strange voice: "My lord, my subordinates have not completed the matters that my lord has delegated. My lord does not blame me, but my subordinates are ashamed."
Long Fei waved his hand: "Instead of saying these words, let's talk about the recent situation in Jiangdong. Where is Liu Bei now?"
"Liu Bei is in Sun Quan's courtyard in the east of the city. Sun Quan plays with Liu Bei every day. The two of them talk and laugh happily, and they seem to be very close to each other." Jiang Qian was anxious and touched the wound on his mouth, grinning hurriedly.
Funny. But no one laughed, they all listened quietly.
Guo Jia asked: "Is there any situation in Sun Mansion?"
Jiang Qiandao: "It seems to be relatively peaceful in the Sun Mansion. It is said that Mrs. Wu felt that Liu Bei was too old. Sun Quan sent Lu Fan to persuade him. The result is unknown."
"Is there any situation with Miss Sun? Is Miss Sun willing to do this?" As soon as Long Fei asked, everyone looked at him with strange eyes, which made Long Fei feel that he was not a good person. He quickly said: "No.
I told you, I have no interest in that female doll, so don’t make random guesses!"
Jiang Qian smiled slightly, shook his head hurriedly and said: "Since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers for important marriage matters. As long as Mrs. Wu has no objection, this matter is absolutely perfect."
Long Fei pondered for a while, then suddenly shouted: "Ziyi, do you know if there is a place called Ganlu Temple near Moling?"
"Ganlu Temple?" Jiang Gan nodded hurriedly: "There is a mountain in the north of Moling, called Beigu Mountain. This mountain stands majestically on the riverside. Ganlu Temple is on the top of the back peak of this mountain. It is a Buddhist temple. It is held several times a year.
Every festival, faithful men and women come to offer incense, why did my lord suddenly ask about it?"
Long Fei smiled slightly: "I will take care of this matter freely. I will pay close attention to Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Lu Fan and others tomorrow. If there is any change, I will report it immediately! Meng Shuo, I will give you fifty people to go to Ganlu Temple immediately, no matter what the disguise is.
What are you doing? You are not allowed to leave without my order, but be careful, be careful Sun Quan sends troops to drive out all the idlers."
"No!" The two of them went to do it immediately without asking the reason.
Guo Jia looked at Long Fei, and suddenly he remembered what Long Fei said when he persuaded Ju Shu that day. Could it be true that Long Fei already knew that something unusual was going to happen in Ganlu Temple. Guo Jia did not continue to ask, and just waited.
Watch the results.
On this day, Long Fei visited Ganlu Temple in person. He had just walked to the foot of Beigu Mountain. He looked up at the steep mountain wall and the dangerous situation. Ganlu Temple was standing on the top of the mountain. Beigu Mountain, Jinshan Mountain and Jiaoshan Mountain formed a horn, and the three mountains stood in a tripod.
On the side of controlling Chu and defeating Wu, Beigu Mountain is even more majestic and dangerous.
Beigu Mountain is composed of three parts: the front peak, the middle peak and the back peak. The main peak is the back peak, which is the best scenic spot. It faces the Yangtze River in the north, with cliffs on three sides. The terrain is steep. There are trees everywhere on the mountain, and there are many historical sites on it.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see Jiao Mountain to the east, Jin Mountain to the west, and across the river. "Jin Jiao Mountain is two small mountains, and Wu and Chu are separated by a river."
Climb the mountain from the southern foot of the middle peak of Beigu Mountain, go north along the ridge to Qinghui Pavilion, pass through the arch, and arrive at Ganlu Temple at the top of the north peak. Ganlu Temple was a temple with traditional Buddhist characteristics built spontaneously by monks from the Western Regions after they came to Jiangdong.
A temple, Sun Quan thought the architecture was strange and did not stop him again. There are buildings in the temple such as the main hall, Laojun Hall, Guanyin Hall and Jiangsheng Pavilion. The Beigu Tower behind Ganlu Temple [Note 2] is the best place to view the scenery on Beigu Mountain.
Best place. Beigu Tower is a two-story building with corridors in all directions and a view from all sides. Climb up to Beigu Tower and lean on the railing to overlook the mountains and waters, and the wonderful scenery. It really feels like flying in the sky. To the east is the surging river.
Thousands of miles away, the green Jiaoshan Mountain is ethereal among the vast expanse of blue waves; to the west, thousands of peaks and ridges overlap, blending into the blue sky; the nearby Jinshan Mountain looks even more beautiful due to its bright background.
Long Fei couldn't help but admire: "The best country in the world really deserves its reputation!"
"My lord, this comment is really high!" Guo Jia laughed and said: "Standing here, it is really refreshing and exciting!"
The Buddhist culture in Jiangdong is developing quite well. Ganlu Temple is quite large, with dozens of monks, large and small, and an endless stream of faithful men and women every day. Long Fei also secretly made a wish in front of the Buddha and kowtowed.
Just then he stood up. Meng Shuo suddenly appeared in front of Long Fei wearing a monk's robe, with a huge bamboo hat on his head covering his bun. Long Fei was about to avoid it, but felt something was wrong. After taking a look, he recognized Meng Shuo.
Several people looked at Meng Shuo's weird look and laughed. Long Fei looked up and down: "Yes, I really want to look like this. Then Sun Quan has no reason to drive the monk down the mountain. What about the other brothers?"
"Don't worry, Lord, everything is in order!" Meng Shuo assured, patting his chest.
While watching, Long Fei asked the people who came with him to draw the entire Beigu Mountain and Ganlu Temple one by one. He left Beigu Mountain with the drawings, and overnight he had people make a sand table according to the drawings, with various pavilions, pavilions, and mountains.
There were all kinds of small stones along the path. He looked at the sand table and studied it carefully. Dian Wei saw Long Fei looking at a sand table for two days and asked curiously: "Boss, is it useful to study this thing?"
?When the time comes, as long as I, Lao Dian, go up and kill them all with a halberd, let’s see who Sun Quan joins forces with."
Long Fei glanced at Dian Wei: "What do you know! It's difficult to ruin this alliance and not hurt Jiangdong's face at the same time!"
Two days later, Chen Dao suddenly came back and told everyone a shocking news. He said that Mrs. Wu had agreed to see Liu Bei. If she thought Liu Bei was good, she would marry her daughter to Liu Bei. The location turned out to be Ganlu Temple.
Everyone immediately turned back to look at Long Fei, who was still studying the sand table. Guo Jia's eyes widened, and now he finally believed that what Long Fei said to Ju Shou that day was all the truth. It seemed that Long Fei was really a god.
Sent to save the world.
Long Fei stood up with a shout: "Okay, according to my calculations, as long as everyone works together, there will be no problem. Order everyone to come to the meeting, and I will lay out the plan."
As soon as it dawned, things started to get busy in the General's Mansion. The old lady was going out today, so all the practical things and handy things had to be prepared. The old lady got up early to prepare hot water, and the maids served the old lady to dress. Put on some thick clothes. The horses that hitch the cart are all the docile ones in Chaotou, and the drivers who drive the cart are also the most experienced. In order to make things go smoothly today, Sun Quan ordered people to garrison at Beigu Mountain starting from yesterday afternoon. Except for the monks, all the rest of the people were driven down the mountain.
After breakfast, the old lady was supported by the maids and walked out of her house and got into the carriage. The carriage started smoothly and moved forward slowly, especially on flat areas. Sun Quan followed on horseback beside the carriage. Under the escort of five hundred personal guards, the banner waved and headed towards Beigu Mountain.
When the news came back, Long Fei nodded slightly: "Very good! Take action!"
Liu Bei had arrived a long time ago and was waiting at the foot of the mountain with Tai Shi Ci and Sun Qian. He saw the Sun family's carriage from a distance and hurried up to greet him. He first saluted Sun Quan, then gave a deep salute to the carriage and called him "old woman". Then he turned over. Get on your horse and follow the carriage towards Ganlu Temple. The monks have already cleaned the guest room, the carriage has stopped, and the maids help the old lady out of the car, and go into the room to drink water and rest. Lu Fan has been accompanying him, and Sun Quan has stayed outside. Talking to Liu Bei, bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
It was not long before Lu Fan came out and clasped his fists at Sun Quan and Liu Bei: "My lord, Emperor Liu and Sun, the old lady has invited you."
The two hurriedly packed their clothes, and then followed Lu Fan into the room. Mrs. Wu was sitting on the couch in the corner. Several maids were separated, holding things commonly used by the old lady in their hands. Sun Quan and Liu Bei knelt down to Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu raised her hand and the two of them stood up. Sun Quan quickly said: "Mother, this is Liu Huangsun!"
The old lady looked Liu Bei up and down. Liu Bei's appearance was a bit weird. The light in the room was not very good. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that he didn't like it very much. Seeing that the old lady's expression was not good, Lu Fan hurriedly said: "Old lady, Emperor Liu is the hero of the world. , he has been serving the imperial court since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and when he was under Huangfu Song's tent, he even killed enemies with the old master."
As soon as she heard the words "old lord", the old lady finally reacted. Sun Jian was a hero in her heart, and anyone who could fight alongside Sun Jian must be a hero. The old lady nodded: "In that case, Liu Huangsun can also be considered a hero. Betrothal my daughter to him doesn’t count as dishonoring my treasure!”
Sun Quan was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Mother is right, my sister is the treasure of our family. Emperor Liu and Sun are famous for their kindness and love. It is absolutely right for my sister to follow him!"
Lu Fan also said: "What the old lady and lord said is absolutely true. Such beautiful things are rare in the world. Today, I see..."
Someone kicked open the door, and a black figure suddenly appeared at the door. The strong light made the person's eyes hurt, and it took him a long time to see clearly that it was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. The girl was armed and hanging from her waist. He was wearing a sword, a cape, a short skirt, bright red trousers, and a pair of thin-soled boots. His small chest was rising and falling, and his small face was particularly juicy. The girl shouted loudly: "You agree, I don't agree!"
