The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

In the evening of the next day, Song Wei nestled beside Dugu, with her head resting on his shoulder, and begged softly: "Young Master, I want to go and see Er Ang."

When he said the word "umang", he was used to one short and one long, one depressed and one raised, and the pronunciation of the second word would be lifted up first and then down, with a strong nasal sound, deliberately Acting like a baby is not necessarily so pure and natural.

Dugu immediately remembered who Um Ang was.The donkey whose status is much higher than his own.It must be refreshing to eat stewed and sprinkled spice rolls.

"I'll ask someone to bring your donkey over tomorrow and keep it here."

"But... I still want to see Master Mu Qi and Master Xuan Qing."

"No." After Dugu refused first, he said, "You stay here. I'll tell them to come here."

Song Wei was surprised and said: "Young Lord, what are you talking about? Although Mu Qiye is an elder, he is a commoner, but that's all. What is Master Xuanqing's background, he dared to let her come here. I think life is too long, Too many heads? You have a problem with me, and it's not the framed method."

Dugu Mo patted him: "Who is going to harm you? Talk nonsense and spank your butt. Anyway, Master Xuanqing is going to visit the Guanlou to see the scenery, so I will meet you by the way, and kill two birds with one stone."

Song Wei was silent for a while, then turned around, turned his back to him, and said quietly: "Even if you treated me as a suspect back then, it's better than now, and you can sneak downstairs to sell a song."

Dugu couldn't help laughing: "You still dare to mention this?" He put his arms around his shoulders and pulled it towards him, but he didn't make much effort, so he couldn't pull it over.He propped up his upper body and looked at Song Wei's face, pouting and sulking.She felt that his appearance was too cute, so she bent down and kissed him.

Song Wei dodged symbolically, and stopped hiding, showing her little tiger teeth to bite.

The two bit each other for a while, Song Weihong said with red eyes: "You let Mu Qiye come over and see me living with you like this, what is it? He is a neighbor of Fanfang, and he watched me grow up, how do you ask me to explain to him?" What will he think? What will he say to my mother when I go back?" Staring at Dugu with fierce eyes, "I tell you, I don't want my mother to hear from others that her son slept with a man. Even in the future If she wants to know, I must be the one who told her. If you dare to do any ambiguous actions in front of Mu Qiye, let him see that something is wrong, I will spoil you, you beast!"

The more he spoke, the more ruthless he was, but his eyes were getting redder and redder, and the teardrops were rolling around, but they refused to fall.

Seeing him like this, Dugu's heart trembled.He stuck out his tongue and licked his eyes: "Okay, okay, let you go, don't let him come. You will be beaten and killed every now and then, cruel little bastard!"

After kissing enough, I added a condition: "You can go if you have to. I will send someone to follow, and you must come back before dark."

Song Wei said angrily: "Am I familiar with him or with you? There is no reason, why should I live with you but not with him?"

After thinking about it, Dugu said: "Let's say that Prince Jiaozhi is lonely here alone, so I invited you to accompany me."

Song Wei felt that this excuse barely made sense, it was impossible not to come back, and it was almost enough to bargain at this level, the boss reluctantly nodded in agreement.

The next day, Song Wei was followed by Qin Xian, who changed into civilian attire and set off for the old house of Guo's house like a pair of master and servant.Song Wei still remembered the address, so she went directly to Mu Qiye's residence, and the meeting was very intimate.Master Xuan Qing and his entourage also lived here, and they set up a side courtyard for her alone.No wonder Her Royal Highness is willing to stay here. The big boss of the Guo family’s old house knows her identity, and keeps improving her daily necessities. Although the style is limited, the comfort of the details is no less than that of the palace.

Everyone asked why Xiao Yin came here, and Song Wei blushed and said that riding a horse had worn out her buttocks, and she couldn't get off the ground and walk all the time.The injury was just right, so he ran.Those present are all people who have been traveling all year round and know that what he is telling is the truth.Looking at his appearance, it was really funny and interesting, and they all made fun of him.

Mu Qiye took a moment to ask how the reinforcements were brought here.Song Wei made a private visit to Weifu, the patrol envoy, and got acquainted by chance.If he didn't go into details, Mu Qiye would stop asking.

Dugu Xiaohouye prefers Longyang, Xuan Qing knows it.After Mu Qiye rescued the hostages, it was Mou Ping who came to hand him over, so no one recognized Qin Xian.But Xuan Qing knew him without a doubt.He looked at Song Wei a few times, knew what he knew, and smiled at him connotatively, not saying much when others were around.

After playing for a long time and having dinner together, Song Wei went to talk to An Ang about the pain of parting and the joy of reunion.Before dark, he rode his donkey back to Guanlou happily. The next day, he waited for the young master to go out to do some errands, and then he happily rode the donkey to play.

Another day passed, after successfully convincing Dugu, he brought Li Jun out to play.Although it wasn't very obvious on the surface, Nanshun Town's defenses were actually much tighter because they were preparing to send troops to intercourse, so Dugu Mian agreed with them to walk around in the town, but Qin Xian brought a few more soldiers in plain clothes to follow.

Although they have not known each other for a long time, they have a good impression of each other.Ever since there was an extra Song Xiaoyin to deal with, the meeting suddenly became very talkative, and the familiarity increased day by day.Mu Qiye is well-informed, straightforward and thoughtful; Master Xuan Qing is knowledgeable and talented, with a tolerant and open mind.As the prince of Cochin King, Li Jun has studied Xia Wen and Xia Dian since he was a child, and he also has a bit of romantic and curious hobbies. Although this escape is the first time he has really come into contact with society, he has been pestering the maids and guards to tell stories since he was a child. And overseas folk customs have been heard.Whether it is vulgar or elegant, it is not impossible to catch up.The days were full and happy, and the pain of bereavement, the pain of fleeing, including the worries and thoughts of relatives detained in the palace, gradually disappeared.

Dugu was busy with military training and getting familiar with southern border military affairs, Song Wei was happy to be left alone, in order to numb the hostility, not only went back on time every day, but also behaved docile and well-behaved, coaxing the little prince into confusion.

Li Jun was once very confused about Song Wei's identity and relationship with other people, so he asked him in private.Song Wei was very troubled, thought for a long time and said: "General Dugu was sent by the emperor to patrol during the flood season, Master Xuan Qing traveled south, Mu Qiye led a caravan to Jiaozhou to do business, and happened to take the same road. I followed Qiye I ran into General Dugu on the way out to learn more. As you can see, he had some thoughts about me. In order to avoid him, I separated from Master Qi and walked alone, but I met Master Xuanqing again. It just so happened that she lacked someone to take care of the horses , I followed. We went to Lingqiu to play, and then I met you."

Li Jun opened his eyes wide: "That's it?"

Song Wei spread his hands: "That's it, it's purely a coincidence."

Li Jun hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Then... now, with General Dugu..."

Song smiled and said, "Let's do this first. This journey is very long, and there will be a time when we get together and part ways, and let nature take its course."

Li Jun has long heard that Shangbang has an open atmosphere, and Wushan's dreams and dewy marriages are commonplace.Seeing Song Wei's attitude now, I just feel that it is as expected.

Song Wei waved his hand: "It's not something glorious, please brother Ting Yun, keep it secret for me."

Li Jun solemnly agreed.

Mu Qiye was here to do business, so he continued to do his business as usual.For less important content, Song Wei and Li Jun were not avoided.When wandering in the market, occasionally commenting a few words, talking about the differences between the North and the South, and the market rules, are often very interesting.In addition to paying tribute to the Xianxi court every year and receiving corresponding rewards from the emperor of Shangbang, Jiaozhi Kingdom will also purchase a large amount from the border. The royal family spends a lot of money on this.Li Jun only asked about the accounts of the inner government, but he still knew the price of some things he liked, and when he learned of the price difference, he was dumbfounded.He said angrily: "This gang of profiteers! There are also treacherous ministers from the inner government! They cheated the father and king of a lot of money!"

Song Wei repeatedly pulled his sleeves: "Brother Ting Yun!" Pointing around, "There is no one here who is not a businessman. If you are beaten, don't blame my brother for not knowing you."

Li Jun realized that he had said something wrong, and blushed embarrassingly.He said to Mu Qiye: "Qiye, I didn't mean that, you know..."

Mu Qiye smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Li, don't mind. As far as I know, although the distance from Nanshun Pass to Suli, the capital of Jiaozhi, is not far, the road is not easy to travel. It will not only take time and labor to transport the goods. , the loss is not small. Those fine and precious things must be carefully taken care of. Coupled with the taxes along the way, the price is several times higher, which is very common."

Li Jun thought about this, but he was still not reconciled: "Even so, it is too expensive. I might as well send someone here to buy it myself, it will be much more economical."

Song smiled and said: "Brother Tingyun, you think like you, what else do businessmen earn?"

Li Jun said: "They should earn less, I save more, wouldn't it benefit the common people?"

Although Mu Qiye didn't think so, he would not disobey a prince, so he didn't speak.Song Wei looked at the bustling market in front of him, and sighed: "Brother Ting Yun, merchants don't make money, so how do they pay taxes? I don't know if it's because you save more, or they pay more?"

Li Jun was caught by his question, and he was struggling with how to settle the account, so he heard Mu Qiye say: "Young Master Li's thinking is the key point for me and other businessmen. , which is the basis for profit. If I have the opportunity, I would like to go to Suli and other places to see for myself and see what the market is like in the place of production.”

Li Jun said: "What's so difficult about this? In the future, I will go back to Beijing with the army of Shangbang, and Mu Qiye will go with me. Qiye has saved my life, but I don't know how to repay it. I will do my best to be a landlord. Make a statement."

Mu Qiye smiled and said, "Young master is very kind, but he is disrespectful. I have heard that intercourse is pleasant for a long time, so there is such a humble gentleman..." Song Wei heard that his teeth were sore, and he didn't know which Xia Shang learned Mu Qiye was flattering with. , secretly spat in my heart: This old fox!

In contrast, Xuan Qing's life is much more boring.Nanshun Guan was not in the itinerary, and unlike Mu Qiye and Song Wei, she was interested in business, no matter how novel and lively, a few visits would be enough.Just as she was planning to return, the boss of the Guo family tried to raise expectations, and wanted to invite the fairy to do a ritual.

Southern Xinjiang was originally a place of alienation, and it has not gradually become infected with Taoist customs. Except for a few people who believe in the Holy Gate of Buddhism, there are some heretical sects from overseas.Xuan Qing thought about it, and felt that it might be a good opportunity to promote Taoism.Not only to repay the grace of saving lives, but also to accumulate merit.What's more, in order to escape, Song Wei once lied, saying that Master Xuan Qing was invited by Boss Guo.Cultivators don't speak lies, so breaking this barrier is a good thing.

In this way, preparations were made in a hurry, and Song Wei and Li Jun joined in the fun every day, enjoying themselves.After Dugu heard about it, he thought that this matter could just divert the people's attention from the deployment of troops at Nanshun Pass, so he let them make trouble.

The rituals of Zhaijiao in the Taoist Shangqing sect are very complicated and exquisite, and the presider is of high status and well-known, so he can't be sloppy.According to the requirements of the Veterinarian, Xuanqing organized a Yangshi Daochang for the Guo family for three days in total.Boss Guo spared no expense to set up a high platform in the open space opposite the store, and purchase the best incense candle offerings as quickly as possible.After all, the place is remote, and many items are not fully prepared, so the raw materials are prepared, and Master Xuanqing guides everyone to make them by hand, such as the list of memorial tablets, hanging banners, etc., while doing it, popularize the common sense of Taoism.

On the first day, the altar is opened and the filth is filthy; on the second day, the generals are congratulated and worshiped; on the third day, scriptures are chanted and thanks.On the evening of the third day, river lanterns are released at the mouth of the flame.Due to the limitation of manpower and materials, many links were saved.However, Xuanmen Keyi is very performative in the first place. The image of Xuanqing master and apprentice is beautiful and refined, coupled with the gorgeous background props, singing and walking on the stage, it is like a fairy descending from the world, attracting people to come here, just want to see it quickly .

At the end of the ceremony, many big bosses asked Boss Guo for favors, and also wanted to ask the fairy to do it, but Xuan Qing politely refused.So he settled for the next best thing, and respectfully asked the fairy to preach and preach, Xuan Qing readily accepted.Li Jun listened to her for two days, then suddenly asked her if she would like to go to Su Li and introduce Taoism to Jiaozhi.Xuan Qing thought about it for a while, and nodded in agreement.Li Jun turned his head to look at Song Wei: "My virtuous brother should go with Mu Qiye and Fairy, don't refuse."

Song Wei giggled and said: "That depends on whether there are many beauties in your palace."
