The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Although there were not many archers on the cliffs on both sides, their archery skills were obviously good. Several of the Jin Yiwei on the boat were shot directly and fell to the surface of the river.

Liu Zheng was frightened by this situation. Although it was not the first time he had encountered an assassination situation, this time was obviously the most dangerous one.

Liu Zheng, who was hiding in the cabin, took Guo Jia and hid carefully together. Guo Jia doesn't know much about martial arts, and his body is also weak. Relatively speaking, he is worse than Liu Zheng, so Liu Zheng is also worried. Jia suffered some losses here. If his life was not good, and he was shot to death by an arrow like Liu Bei's young phoenix Pang Tong, then Liu Zheng would suffer a lot.

"Dian Wei, tell the boatman to speed up and get out of here quickly."

"Yes! My lord."

Dian Wei walked out of the cabin carefully, and told the boatman outside to sail quickly. After the boatman was shot, Dian Wei went into battle himself, rowing the boat with oars.

As the arrows flew and the ship sailed, the number of arrows falling on the ship became less and less. Dian Wei let the ship sail quickly. After a few breaths, the ship passed the cliff, and Dian Wei entered the cabin Here, speak to Liu Zheng.

"My lord, it's okay, those people can't shoot anymore."

Dian Wei looked at Liu Zheng, and after seeing that Liu Zheng was fine, he was relieved, and passed this test without any danger.

Liu Zheng walked out of the cabin with a dark face.

"Dian Wei, who do you think is dealing with us?"

"It goes without saying that only the people of the Youxi tribe know our whereabouts, only they know that we will come to meet the people of the Youxi tribe at this time, and only they set up an ambush here, my lord, we don't need to go there Now, go back to Yiling directly, and lead the troops to destroy the people of the Youxi tribe."

Dian Wei only thought that the person who set up an ambush here was a member of the Youxi tribe, and wanted to go directly to trouble the Youxi tribe without saying anything.

But Liu Zheng frowned.

"No, maybe not from the Youxi tribe. As you said, only the Youxi tribe should know our whereabouts. If they want to assassinate us, isn't it clear that they want to oppose us? If they don't succeed , then we will definitely raise our troops to attack them, aren’t they courting death?”

"Then my lord thinks, who do these people belong to?"

"I don't know, but I guess they are not from the Youxi tribe. If they are really from the Youxi tribe, then they are too stupid."

While Liu Zheng was talking with Dian Wei, Guo Jia, who walked in from the outside, suddenly spoke.

"My lord, something is wrong, where are we going?"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Zheng was immediately curious, and went directly to the deck of the ship, and took a look around, only to see that it was a big stream just now, but now he walked into a small stream, which happened to be the only way to pass through. The size of a small boat.

On both sides of the shore, there is a peach blossom forest, and it is March at this time.

The peach blossoms on the peach trees are in full bloom, and the pink petals stain the forest a bit strangely.

"Huh? This doesn't seem to be the place we agreed with those Youxi tribesmen."

Although the scenery outside is good, Liu Zheng is still a bit suspicious.

"Yes, why is there a peach grove here?"

"And it's such a large area, Dian Wei, take the boat over there and have a look."

Liu Zheng led people who were curious about this place, and asked Jin Yiwei to open the way, and walked over with the injured.

Chapter 722 Peach Blossom Spring

The boat didn't go far, and saw that the creek had come to an end.

The ship could not continue sailing, so Liu Zheng could only order the Jin Yiwei under his command to disembark and check around first.

He himself got off the boat with Guo Jia and Dian Wei, and started to wander in this peach forest.

The peach grove is very large. Looking around, there are only peach trees, and there are no other trees nearby. Apart from the peach trees, there are some other flowers and plants on the ground, yellow, red, and white.

The petals fall on the green grass, embellishing a bit of beauty.

The scenery made Liu Zheng's face more and more puzzled, so he led the people and continued to walk forward, wanting to go to the end of the forest to have a look.

Walking along the stream for hundreds of meters, I finally reached the end of the peach forest.

At the end of the peach forest is the source of the stream, a small lake. The water flows down from the wall of a mountain, forming a clear spring with little dew and a few rainbows.

"My lord, look, there is a cave here!"

While Liu Zheng was still admiring the beauty of this lake, Dian Wei had already discovered something ahead.

Guo Jia and Liu Zheng followed Dian Wei's voice and immediately looked towards the cave.

There was indeed a small hole. Liu Zheng took a closer look, and it seemed that there was still some light in the hole, which could be seen.

Liu Zheng was a little suspicious at first, but after seeing the hole, his expression changed immediately.

Peach blossoms, streams, cave entrances.

Putting these things together, Liu Zheng immediately thought of a very famous text he had learned in school.

Land of Peach Blossoms

This is the work written by Tao Yuanming, a master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Liu Zheng remembered that this text was required to be recited in its entirety at the time. Although he did not remember the whole text, he remembered the first sentence clearly.

In the Taiyuan period of the Jin Dynasty, the people of Wuling fished for a living.

The meaning of these words is that during the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a man in Wuling County who made a living by fishing.

During the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, almost 200 years later, the Wuling County recorded in the book is exactly the Wuling County where Liu Zheng is now!

Originally, it was just Wuling County, and Liu Zheng couldn't remember these things, but after seeing this peach forest, as well as the stream and the mouth of the cave, Liu Zheng vaguely felt that this place might be exactly what Tao Yuanming said Peach Blossom Spring!

"Peach Blossom Spring! This is really a Peach Blossom Spring!"

Liu Zheng stared at the entrance of the cave, and said a few words abruptly.

Guo Jia, who was standing beside Liu Zheng, frowned slightly after hearing Liu Zheng's words.

"My lord, Peach Blossom Spring? What is it?"

"It's nothing."

Seeing Guo Jia's question, Liu Zheng hurriedly explained.

"When I was in my hometown, I heard a story told by an old man in the village."

"what story?"

"It is said that hundreds of years ago, at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, some people who did not want to be disturbed by wars liked to hide in the mountains, and they would plant some peach trees on the side of the mountains as a cover. Days of struggle. This kind of place is called Peach Blossom Spring.”

Liu Zheng briefly described to Guo Jia the story of Peach Blossom Spring that he still remembered.

Of course, he didn't say whether the story was true or not, he just said that he heard it from the old people in the village.

Now that Guo Jia combined the local environment, he immediately knew that Liu Zheng was talking about this kind of place.

"What does my lord mean, this is a paradise of peach blossoms?"

"Isn't it? Let's go into this hole and we'll know."

After all, Liu Zheng is going to go in from this hole.

But for safety's sake, Dian Wei stopped Liu Zheng.

"My lord, there may be danger in this cave, please wait here for a while, my lord, I will send you to investigate first, and my lord will go in later."

When Liu Zheng heard Dian Wei's words, he also agreed. After all, the entrance of this cave is not big. If there is any danger inside, it is easy to avoid it. Even if there are no enemies, there are some snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the first person to enter , is also easy to get injured, let Jin Yiwei enter to investigate first.

Some crises can always be avoided.

After Liu Zheng nodded, he asked Dianwei to send two Jinyiwei into it.

Two brocade guards, armed with knives, walked into the cave.

The opening of the cave was very small at first, probably only able to accommodate one person, but after walking a few dozen steps, it became wider.

Liu Zheng also verified this idea one by one according to the articles in Peach Blossom Spring that he could still remember.

Walking along the edge of the stream, forgetting the distance of the road.Suddenly there is a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank, there are no miscellaneous trees in the middle, the grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful.Fishermen are very different.Going forward again, I want to make the forest poor.

When the forest reaches its source of water, there is a mountain with a small mouth, as if there is light.Convenience boat, enter from the mouth.Very narrow at the beginning, talented people.After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear.

After walking for a while, the two Jin Yiwei who walked in front, took advantage of the light in the cave, and easily walked to the other side of the cave.

What appeared in front of us was a flat and wide land, neat rows of houses, and pieces of fertile and fertile land. The orchards and bamboo forests intersected each other, the field paths were intricate, and chickens and dogs could be heard everywhere.

Some people in plain clothes are working in the fields.

When these scenes entered Liu Zheng's eyes, Zheng Jia was sure that this place was the Peach Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming.

"My lord, this is really as you said. There are many people living here. Looking at the clothes of these people, they seem to be from the late Qin period hundreds of years ago!"

At this time, Guo Jia was stunned by what Liu Zheng said just now. He originally listened to it as a story, but now he has verified the story Liu Zheng told from this cave, and Guo Jia immediately made Liu Zheng feel that he was not interested in Liu Zheng. There is no doubt about what he said.

"I was also surprised. I didn't expect that the stories told by the old man at the entrance of the village were actually true. It was not only me, but also others who heard about it. They went to the so-called Peach Blossom Spring, but they didn't really find the Peach Blossom Spring. where."

"I didn't expect that we would accidentally find the real Peach Blossom Spring!"

Liu Zheng was also amazed at his own luck. He didn't expect that this place would hide the Peach Blossom Spring that didn't appear until hundreds of years later.

Liu Zheng didn't say much, and immediately took Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and several Jin Yiwei into the peach blossom garden.

As for more Jinyiwei, Liu Zheng didn't dare to let them in, because if too many people appeared at once, Liu Zheng was also afraid of disturbing the lives of the people in this Taohuayuan.

Now he only brought a few people in, and he was able to learn about some things in this paradise by asking, at least not arousing too much vigilance in this paradise.

Chapter 723 Peach Blossom Valley

After Liu Zheng led people closer to the village, an old man inside noticed the whereabouts of Liu Zheng and the others, approached them proactively, felt very surprised, and asked Liu Zheng and others who they were.

"Several, who are you?"

An old man with a beard came to Liu Zheng and the others on crutches, stopped Liu Zheng, and asked Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng was about to find someone to ask about some things about this peach blossom garden. When he saw an old man approaching him to ask, he didn't dare to neglect, and immediately answered politely to the old man.

"Old man, we are from Jingzhou. We took a boat to Youxi for an appointment. Who knows, we ran into trouble on the way and came to this place by accident. What is this place?"

Liu Zheng answered simply, expressing respect and politeness. In addition, Liu Zheng and Guo Jia were not vicious, especially Guo Jia looked like a scholar, but the old man treated Liu Zheng and Guo Jia Jia did not give birth to too much vigilance.

"This is called Peach Blossom Valley, and it is a paradise. You are outsiders, right?"

"Our Peach Blossom Valley has become lively recently. No one has come in for hundreds of years. In the past year, there have been quite a few people."

The old man didn't intend to investigate Liu Zheng's identity in detail, but Liu Zheng was surprised when he opened his mouth.

"Is there anyone else here?"

Liu Zheng was stunned. According to Tao Yuanming's book, this Peach Blossom Spring should not have been visited by outsiders for hundreds of years. Now that Liu Zheng has discovered Peach Blossom Spring, he should be the first person to enter the Paradise.

It's just that the old man's words surprised Liu Zheng, so he wanted to know who it was.

After all, according to the old man's tone, it seems that the people who came here before Liu Zheng and the others only came here in the last year.

"Yes, just a few months ago, several injured people came to our Peach Blossom Valley. Recently, these people have recovered from their injuries and are helping us cultivate the land."

The old man didn't care much about Liu Zheng, so he said it directly.

Liu Zheng was even more curious about this, but he didn't dare to ask the old man to introduce him directly, but instead complimented the old man a few words, and chatted about the Peach Blossom Spring.

After a few words, both the old man and Liu Zheng had some problems.

The old man invited Liu Zheng and others to sit down in the house and chat slowly.

Liu Zheng didn't mind either.Invited to go.

Although this place is just a paradise in the deep mountains, some of the buildings and agricultural equipment here are not ordinary. Liu Zheng looked around here as he walked, and there were waterwheels, overturned carts, columbine carts, etc. The tools are all well-made, it seems that the people here only make them.

Moreover, the houses of each family are well-built, with exquisite carpentry skills, not to mention the simplicity and simplicity, there is still a bit of elegance in it.

Not long after walking, the old man invited Liu Zheng to enter a two-story courtyard.

Pushing open the door, the old man took the initiative to go in, and then sat down on a stone table.

"Xiaocui, we have guests, let's make tea."

The old man yelled into the house, and not long after, there was a silver bell-like response from inside.

"Hey, grandpa is back?"

Not long after, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl ran out from inside.

The little girl came out with a teapot in her hand, and poured a pot of tea for Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and others at the table.

Liu Zheng was more cautious, and instead of drinking directly, he asked the old man about the Peach Blossom Valley.

"Old man, which county does this Peach Blossom Valley belong to?"
