Queen Flower - Chapter 220
Half of Liupan Mountain is high and half is low, and the mountain is steep. Half of the mountain on the mountainside has gained momentum and become a sloping land, and half of it is Gothic. The cottage is halfway up the mountain. It is very grand, but in terms of buildings, they are all ordinary wooden structures, and many of them rely on natural terrain and rocks.
The road leading to the cottage is constantly passing through passes and dark posts. The road is narrow and difficult to walk. As expected, there are traps from time to time. It is not easy to bring a horse up the mountain. It requires very good riding skills. .
The people from Kejia Village were strongly welcomed by the people from Liupan Mountain. They were strong and well-armed. For safety, Jiang Lan had always been veiled. After the people of Kejia Village were settled, she finally met the women of Zunguo here. There are women who are strong and good at fighting, strong in both civil and military, and there are women who are gentle and gentle and good at housekeeping. In Zunguo, which allows women to develop freely. , women can give full play to their strengths, and can do what they like without feeling wronged. Of course, these characteristics have also been challenged in recent years.
Although Liupanshan still has more men than women, it still maintains a relative balance in general. There are a stable number of women and a wide age distribution, giving every man here hope of survival and reproduction. No wonder no matter how encircled and suppressed , it still exists to this day.
After entering the village, the three brothers of the Ke family exchanged their respective situations over the past year and sighed with each other. After the second child of Ke cried for his father who had just died, he began to talk about business calmly.
“So you’re in big trouble now?” he said.
“Yes.” Sanzi wiped away his tears, “We have nowhere to go, so we came to Liupanshan to be…bandits…hehe…” He touched his head, crying and laughing.
Ke Lao Er smiled, “We are not bandits, don’t look at us occupying the top of the mountain. But we never do anything to bully men and women, and there are often people who can’t survive to defect. We Liupanshan people never refuse, so You can rest assured, we are not evil people.” He looked at Jiang Lan and solemnly assured. He had already seen Jiang Lan’s face. Apart from being stunning and sluggish at the beginning, he had been very peaceful since then, and the face similar to Ke Yuanliang seemed very sincere.
Ke Yuanliang introduced the five Jiang Lan people one by one to Ke Lao Er, and finally pointed to Xia Henqiu and said, “This is Xia Henqiu, the son of Xia Yunlin, the left minister more than 20 years ago. He used to live in the celestial dynasty, but now he is fortunate to return, if not for them help. The three of us will never see each other again in this lifetime.”
Older Ke saluted and thanked Jiang Lan and the five, “I heard that Young Master Xia is still a good doctor, can you give my wife and master some treatment.”
“Naturally, I don’t know what disease your wife is suffering from?” Xia Henqiu asked.
Second Brother Ke sighed, “That’s it. My wife and head…”
Before he could say anything, someone ran in, “Second master, it’s not good, another group of people came down the mountain.”
Second Brother Ke stood up abruptly, “I’m sorry. Big brother, the third son and everyone else, I have to go check the situation first.” He raised a big knife. I went out and went down the mountain.
Naturally, Jiang Lan and his party would not stay where they were, and immediately followed them out. Who knows if King Hui’s people came to the door again. If this is the case, the culprits cannot hide and enjoy the shade.
A group of people went back the same way and headed down the mountain. From a distance, I saw a group of people standing at the foot of the mountain, and someone came down the mountain. He said loudly: “Second Ke, I am an envoy sent by His Royal Highness Prince Ding, and I have no ill intentions.”
King Ding, the little Murong Dynasty that is known as the orthodox country, what are you going to do? Jiang Lan stood on the side with a veil and glanced at Wen Daolin, thinking that he didn’t know which way this King Ding and his master were distant relatives. But when it comes to Murong Orthodox, it should be her master. Where can he get King Ding?
The messenger got off his horse and walked towards them. He was well-dressed and looked like a talented person. Holding a scroll in his hand, he saluted Older Ke and said, “Second Master, this is the document of our Royal Highness King Ding.”
Second Brother Ke didn’t extend his hand, and said in a rough voice, “What does this mean?”
The messenger was not angry, and continued: “Our Highness is Murong Orthodox, not comparable to King Hui of King Xian. It is natural for the second master to oppose King Hui. Our Highness welcomes the brothers of Liupanshan to join us.”
Everyone suddenly realized that this was to recruit security.
Seeing that Mr. Ke was unmoved, he added, “Our Highness knows that Liupanshan is not easy now. Without Zhao Ting’s appeal, how long can Liupanshan last? It’s better to return to the orthodox, and the Liupanshan area will be fixed from now on. Under the king’s power, you will also be blessed, you don’t have to be a bandit, there is no tomorrow.”
What a bah, this is prying King Hui’s corner behind his back, trying to take Liupan Mountain from them effortlessly.
Er Lao Er said loudly: “We Liupanshan are a family of our own, and what does it have to do with King Hui of Ding? We don’t need you to protect us, thank you very much.”
The messenger threw off his sleeves and raised his face, “I heard that Zhao Ting is about to die, so you can shake Liupan Mountain? Who are you, but an ordinary reckless man, how can you be so responsible, waiting for Zhao Ting to die? , Liupanshan is just around the corner, and what can you do? It’s better to know the current affairs now and become an official and a noble, and King Ding will find another wife and master for you, why not the second master…”
Before he finished speaking, Ke Lao Er’s face turned black, he shouted loudly, and the big knife in his hand slashed at the messenger, slicing the document in his hand in half. If he didn’t hide quickly, his entire arm would come down. “Get out of here!” He squeezed out a sentence between his teeth, and he was furious. As long as the messenger dared to say another word, he would immediately chop off his head.
The messenger took a few steps back, his face was pale, his hands trembled, and he said, “The two countries are at war, so don’t cut the messenger. You reckless man, just wait for the army of His Royal Highness King Ding to sweep down your Liupan Mountain. “
He hurriedly ran back to the team, raised his hand and said, “Go back.” The team turned their horses and left quickly, as if they were afraid that someone would do it on the spot, they ran very fast.
Ke Lao Er was indignant, and Jiang Lan finally knew the current situation of Liupan Mountain. The head of the family was a woman over 30, named Zhao Ting, from a famous family. The common people revolted and rebelled. They were brave and resourceful, and they were amazed by the situation. No one knew about the country in Zun. They won the hearts of the people. A year ago, Ke Yuanji, the eldest son of the Ke family, was separated on the way to escape and ended up in Liupan Mountain. Because of Ke Yuanji’s brute strength and bravery in battle, he finally became Zhao Ting’s new husband-in-law and the second head of the stockade, known as Ke Lao. two.
Zhao Ting is really a model of a woman of Zunguo. She has the posture of a king. She is tough and tough, and her bravery is extraordinary. A long spear sets the world, and often beats the intruding enemies to the ground. It is a pity that in the latest battle with the army, the body was severely injured, and he could only lie on the sick bed. He often fell into a coma. He was seriously ill and died. . Only in this way, the appeal of Liupan Mountain has been greatly weakened. In addition, due to frequent attacks and sieges, the number of people on the mountain has dropped sharply. Even if there are thousands of people, it is not the grand occasion of the year.
Xia Henqiu immediately treated Zhao Ting after returning to the mountain. Obviously, this person is the key and core figure of Liupan Mountain. Judging from various circumstances, if she is gone, it is estimated that the final result will be broken again.
It was only when he came out of the house that everyone saw the heavy future on his face.
Zhao Ting has been seriously injured for a long time, injuring her internal organs, and her body is extremely strained. The internal functions and circulation have been destroyed. It is a miracle that she is still alive now. Unless Daluo Jinxian comes, no one will be able to recover. , but it only prolongs the time she is awake.
The faces of the people in Liupanshan were gloomy. On the one hand, Jiang Lan felt sorry for such a female general, but on the other hand, she reconfirmed that she never had a happy birthday, no matter where she was.
Second Ke came out of Zhao Ting’s house and said to Jiang Lan, “She wants to meet everyone, please.”
Zhao Ting is a man of righteousness, and she personally meets and treats everyone who goes to Liupan Mountain, so no one expresses any objection to her behavior.
The group walked into the room, Jiang Lan took off the veil, and saw a woman lying on the bed. She looked in her thirties. Her face was still as beautiful as before. Her eyes were half closed, her cheeks were dry and gray and her lips were dry. Pale, without a trace of anger, still covered with a quilt on a hot day, the hands stretched out from the quilt are thin and old, the skin is sticking to the knuckles, a layer of loose folds, the real shape is pin bones, there is no scolding Surprised by the situation, there is a feeling that the morning and evening are about to die.
On the wall beside her, hung a piece of armor. The silver-white armor was spotless, pure and without any variegation. The bright silver-white helmet had dense wave embossed patterns and a red tassel on top. The shoulder pads and arm armors on both sides are all dragons, and on the breastplate there is a dragon-shaped swallowing beast that swallows clouds and mists. A fierce beast with a wide mouth, the hem of the armor is a mountain script armor with patterns engraved on it. It is composed of multiple armor pieces that are interlocked into a whole piece, forming countless concave and convex surfaces on the surface, which is very conducive to arrow prevention.
Beside the armor, there is a long spear standing upright. The length of the spear is five feet long. The rear end of the spear is as thick as the ground. It is sharp, and there are five barbs hidden under the red ying of the gun head, which can hook other people’s weapons. It really is a good gun.
While everyone was looking around, Zhao Ting also opened her eyes, her eyes were sharp and sharp, with a radiance of wisdom, without the turbid state of a dying person at all. Stayed, and finally stayed on Jiang Lan’s body. With surprise and appreciation in her eyes, she waved to her, “Come here.”
