Dihao's civilian life

The residence of Kunrong Rongshou is called the White House.In Tucheng, most of the houses have dusty and rough mud walls, but the outer walls of this Rongshou house are plastered with white ash, which is tall and beautiful.

At noon, Si Hao and the craftsmen were casting a batch of bronze spears in the workshop. He was pouring molten metal into the pottery fan when he heard someone calling his name outside.He had already yelled a few times in a row, but the workshop was stuffy and noisy, and Si Hao heard the voice, and the yelling was a little impatient.

The craftsmen in the smelting workshop are engaged in tiring and hard work, and their bodies are even more dirty when they work, and they are not covered with clothes due to the stuffy heat.It's hard to think of any decent person who would come to do this kind of hard work, and naturally be despised by others.

Si Hao wiped the sweat from his face and hands with a towel, and stepped out of the workshop to find the person who called him.The person who came was a bodyguard of King Rong. He wore a pair of shiny boots and a military uniform with expensive decorations.

The guard glanced at Si Hao, and said only one sentence: "King Rong called you to the White House." He turned around and left without waiting for Si Hao's reply.There are very few Heluo people in Kunrong, and some are slaves. The warriors among the Rong people look down on these foreigners very much, thinking that they are weak and incompetent.

Back then, the Emperor Xiang lost his country and slayed himself, causing a large number of survivors of the empire to be displaced, and they went to the other side by way of Rongdi.Most of them are poor and poor on the road, and their fate is often very tragic.The Rong people hated the weak and would not show mercy. They regarded the weak as slaves, which was a matter of course.

Si Hao really felt this contempt in Rongdi.He is an open-minded person, and he doesn't hold grudges because of what happened to him, but as the son of Emperor Xiang, he has a heavy feeling in his heart.

After Si Hao explained to the workshop leader, he led Dahei home.Going to see the leader of the army, you can't just go with this dirty body, you have to take a bath and change clothes.Si Hao knew why Kun Jijin called him, obviously the cavalry who went to Tianqi Mountain for inspection came back.

It has been four days since I saw Rong Qingniao. In these four days, I have not heard of any people from outside appearing in Kun Rong. Obviously, the Qiong people have not retreated.Si Hao was not optimistic about the news brought back by the cavalry.

He came to Rongdi to engage in smelting, but he was very clear about the movements around him.In the smelting workshop, he made weapons for the king of Rong, and ministers in charge of military affairs often came and walked around.Every time he goes to Tucheng, he always visits Kunwugo to get news from him.Kunwuge was extremely well informed, even every move of the White House, he knew by heart.

After returning home, Si Hao took a change of clothes and went to take a bath in the river.The river water in late spring is still a little cold, but he is in good shape, even taking a winter bath is fine.In the smelting workshop, he not only learns smelting and casting, he also exercises a strong body.

He is tall and handsome, calm and introverted, and he is not a humble person by any means.Even an ordinary military robe, wearing it on him, also has an extraordinary bearing.

Si Hao sat by the river, put on his leather boots, and the breeze blew his hair.Hair that is not long blows in the wind and dries gradually.Yu Su knelt behind him and helped him tidy his hair with a homemade wooden comb.Comb the hair well, gather the hair on the ear side to the back of the head, and then tie it with a hair tie.Si Hao's head was thick and stiff, and his hair was rough and flamboyant, but he was docile in Yu Su's hands.

After tidying up her hair, Yu Su dropped a piece of jade on Si Hao's waist.The jade was purchased by Yu Su in Tucheng. It is a piece of Rong jade with a warm texture and a simple shape. It is engraved with a waterfowl.Si Hao took Yu Su's hand and said, "I won't be back until evening, you put Da Hei outside the house, don't wait for me."

Yu Su nodded, he would stay home and wait for him.

When Si Hao went to the White House, he would inevitably meet those arrogant and rude children of the Kun family, so he did not take Yu Su with him.He couldn't tolerate Yu Su being despised by others, and it didn't matter what happened to him.

In the afternoon, Si Hao led the white horse to Tucheng, went straight to the white house, and had an audience with Kun Jijin.

The guard informed and led Si Hao into the white room. In the corridor, he met Kun Yue and a group of children.Si Hao retreated to the side to make way, and Kun Yue glanced over him with disdain.Afterwards, he chatted and laughed with his disciples and left.

Kunjijin has two sons, except Kunyue, and another son.The second son has a disabled leg and rarely appears, and Si Hao has never seen him.According to what Kun Wugo said, the second son has a resolute and talented personality, quite similar to Kun Jijin, but it is a pity that his legs are disabled and he is regarded as a useless person.

Si Hao knew about Kunrong's family affairs very well.In the future, if Kun Yue inherits the position of leader, due to his short-sightedness, Kun Rong will be at a disadvantage in the increasingly fierce national struggle.

Led by the guards, Si Hao entered the courtyard and saw Kun Jijin resting in the courtyard.He has many wives and concubines, and beside him is a beautiful girl with curly hair and a shawl, wearing a close-fitting tassel skirt, with a beautiful figure and affectionate eyes.

Si Hao didn't look at the woman, he walked up to Kun Jijin and saluted respectfully.Seeing him coming, Kunjijin motioned for the attendant to sit down.His attitude towards Si Hao was like that of a younger generation in the same clan.

Si Hao took his seat calmly, sitting on the left side of Kun Jijin, and found that the old man was looking at the rare birds in the yard, and was not in a hurry to talk.At dusk, in the golden pool, two unnamed tall waterfowl were spreading their wings and singing. Their feathers were as bright as fire.

"The people of Qiong did not retreat, and they are still camping on the rule road." Amidst the cries of waterfowl, Kun Jijin said calmly, "What plans does the emperor have in the future?"

"When it's autumn, take Yushan and go to the other side." As expected, Si Hao didn't feel disappointed at all.Summer is approaching, and the poisonous fog in Tianqi Mountain is thick, so we can only choose to leave in autumn.

"Hayama..." Kunjijin stood up, and the girl stretched out her hand to help, but he pushed it away roughly.Si Hao got up and stood aside without any support.When Rong Shou stood up, he put his palm on the ground for a while, and his leg on one side seemed to be unable to exert strength.

The old army leader has participated in the war for many years, and has old injuries on his body. It seems that the old injuries have recurred.

"There are rumors in Yushan that there is a dragon, and that dragon is related to you." Kun Jijin sometimes felt that it was God's will that the emperor fled to Kunrong and got his protection.

Because there is a dragon in Yushan, people don't want to get close to Yushan.

From Sihao to Kunrong, Kun Jijin often sent his cronies to visit him, and the cronies told him that this man was not enterprising, and he didn't seem to be able to achieve great things at all.Kun Jijin felt that Si Hao was extraordinary, he was quite calm and knew how to assess the situation.He never asked himself to send troops to escort him to the other side, and he knew that he would not agree; he also never regarded himself as the emperor's son, and he saw his situation quite clearly.

"It's just a legend." Si Hao said indifferently, he was familiar with his family's story.

As the person at the center of this ancient ethnic group, Si Hao did not have a strong sense of mission.What he has is to see his own path clearly and move forward step by step.

"For the regular trip, just let the emperor know what you need." Qiushi is still early, but this trip is not easy, and Kun Jijin is willing to help if he can.

"I need to explore Yushan, and I need a horse that can ride." People don't like to get close to Yushan, not only because of rumors about dragons, but also because of the complicated terrain.Si Hao will go to explore the way in person and do it by himself.

"It's simple. I have a lot of fine horses in my ranch. Go and pick one." Almost all the horses on which the cavalry team rode came from Kunjijin's ranch.The best horses in Kunrong are all in his ranch.

"One more person is needed to teach me how to ride horses." Si Hao said lightly.

"I asked Rong Shanjiu to teach you how to ride horses. Among the thirty cavalrymen, he is the best." Kun Jijin was not surprised that Si Hao wanted to learn how to ride a horse.The road to Guifang is almost all mountain forest roads, horse-drawn carriages cannot travel, and walking is slow.Riding a horse requires courage. Kun Jijin looked at Si Hao, saw his calm appearance, and thought to himself, he had made up his mind a long time ago.

This emperor, who is on the run, is young and determined, maybe he can really make a career out of it.

After chatting with Kunjijin leisurely, when night fell, Sihao bid farewell and left the white house.Kun Jijin never planned to run away from Qiongren and escort Si Hao to the other side. He took him in and treated him kindly, that's all.

This was enough for Si Hao, he didn't expect Kunrong to fight the Qiongren for him, Kunrong was too busy to take care of himself.He is not important enough to Kun Rong to make them fight for him.

Go to the other side in autumn, at this time in late spring, there is still one summer to prepare.In Si Hao's opinion, it's neither too long nor too short, just enough.Regardless of whether the Qiong people will retreat to Tianqi Mountain before the arrival of autumn, it is always good to be prepared.

Si Hao left Tucheng overnight and returned home. It was already late at night when he got home, and Yu Su was awake, still waiting for him.Seeing Si Hao come back, Yu Su went down to the kang to warm up the soup and was busy by the fire pond.He didn't ask if Qiongren would withdraw from Tianqi Mountain, he could tell what he was thinking from Si Hao's subtle expressions and movements.

At night, the two whispered on the kang, hugged each other and fell asleep.

A few days later, Si Hao took Dabai to Kunjijin's ranch, and an old horseman came to look at Dabai.There are many horses in the pasture, but I have never seen such a strong and beautiful white horse.The old horseman looked at Dabai, rubbed his teeth to see his age, and asked Si Hao where this horse came from.Si Hao said that it was not a military horse, so he brought it all the way from Ren Fang, and asked if he could be tamed and mounted.

The old horseman's knowledge of geographical location was very limited, and he didn't know where Ren Fang was. He gave Dabai his hands and praised: "It's a good horse."

Since then, Dabai has been kept in the pasture, and the horse is trained by the old horseman.Si Hao also lived in the ranch and learned how to ride a horse from the cavalry chief Rong Shanjiu.

Rong Shanjiu was in his thirties, with a serious personality, and was taught by the leader of the army to teach Si Hao how to ride a horse, so he had to teach him.At first he felt that Si Hao, a foreigner, would not be able to learn how to ride a horse, and that he would shrink back when he fell off the horse a few times.Later he realized that he was wrong. This man was bold and careful, smart and quick, and he never fell off his horse very often.

He had never encountered a beginner who had his head broken, was kicked by a horse, or was trampled on.In Rong Shanjiu's view, this was unbelievable.

During this time, Si Hao lived in the ranch, and Yu Su followed him to take care of his daily life.Yu Su had nothing to do on weekdays, so he watched Si Hao learn how to ride a horse and saw Dabai being tamed in the pasture. At first, he was worried about Si Hao, but later, seeing his calm and sophisticated appearance on horseback, he felt sorry for Dabai.

Kunjijin's ranch not only has horses for riding, but also raises several horses for pulling carriages.On weekdays, horse-drawn carriages often enter and leave the ranch.Yu Su had nothing to do in the ranch, so he learned to drive from the driver.

Driving a carriage is much safer than riding a horse.

On the ranch, occasionally Yu Su could be seen driving slowly, while Si Hao followed beside him on a big white.The two are accompanied by the setting sun, with the mountains of Qingdai behind them, and the evening breeze blowing on their faces.

The two of them stayed in the ranch throughout the summer, and only left the ranch when the weather turned cold, returning to their home in the east of Tucheng.

While they were studying in the ranch and living a peaceful life, Kun Rong and Di Ren fought in the valley in the north, each winning or losing, and it was impossible to tell who was superior.Kun Jijin led the troops outside, leaving Kun Yue to garrison Tucheng.Si Hao has no time to take care of Kunrong's war, he urgently needs to find out the way of Yushan.

Yushan is to the west of Kunhu Lake, located in Kunrong's territory, so it is safe to travel, and Si Hao travels alone.You can go back and forth in one day on horseback, and two days on foot.Early in the morning, Yu Su watched Si Hao gallop away on a big white under the morning light.He should have been worried in his heart, but seeing his heroic posture on the horse, he was filled with joy.Neither the Qiongren nor the Diren knew how to ride a horse, and in Rongdi, very few people could. If they encountered an enemy, they could escape by riding a horse.

The day of departure is getting closer and closer, and it is necessary to prepare the items needed for the journey.After sending Si Hao away, Yu Su carried the few painted pottery left at home on his back and went to Tucheng alone.

Si Hao rode a white horse and wore a gray cloak, and marched along the west side of Kun Lake.Occasionally there were soldiers on the road, and when they saw him, they thought he was the cavalry leader of the army. People did not dare to provoke the cavalry, and treated the cavalry with special respect.There was no one to stop him all the way, and he arrived at the foot of Yushan smoothly.

This mountain is not high, but the terrain is quite complicated, and the peaks stand precariously, like a stone forest.Strange rocks are everywhere, and the fog in the mountains has an indescribably weird feeling.Si Hao needed to find out the route from Rong Qingniao.

Rong Qingniao is the leader of a caravan and has a strong ability to identify directions.He told Si Hao that the Yushan route was confirmed to be feasible through Si Hao's stepping all the way.He stood on the mountain peak, looked across the forest, and saw Tianqi Mountain in the distance.The towering Tianqi Mountain is like a giant beast hiding in the cloud forest, only showing its scales and half claws.

Stepping down the mountain, Si Hao led Dabai and walked out of Yushan slowly, the mist wet his hair, his heart was very serene.Before he left, he cast a glance towards the valley, the fog was heavy, and it was hard to imagine the scene in the valley.He didn't get close to the legendary Longyuan, and he didn't need to test whether there really are dragons in the world.

For the ancestor who was buried here alone, and for himself who arrived here alone, Si Hao felt a silent sadness, like a deep abyss.

Legend has it that Yushan is the burial place of Bokun, the ancestor of Sihao. During the ancient emperor era, Bokun was killed here by the emperor, and his soul was immortal and turned into a dragon.The Luosi tribe is an extremely ancient and prominent ethnic group. In the time of the ancient emperor, they were named earls.Bo Yu, who later established the empire, was the son of Bo Kun.

When he was a child, Si Hao never thought that he would arrive at this legendary place one day.He never thought that maybe in the future, he would also become a legend of the times.

The author has something to say: Dabai (proud): I am already a real Rolls-Royce white

Director: Dabai, I heard that if you want to be gentle and easy to ride, you'd better get stabbed.Smelly horse, you actually kicked me.
