Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Qizhou is famous all over the world for its mountains and rivers.

The scenery here combines the gentleness of the south with the vastness of the north, as well as the majesty and steepness unique to the southwest. I don’t know how many poets have written poems, and I don’t know how many legendary stories have happened here.

From the capital to Qizhou, one must go through Dingzhou, Qinzhou and Liuzhou.The junction of Qiliuzhou and Liuzhou is the famous "Yixianxia".This is the gateway to Qizhou and the only way to enter Qizhou.Two sword-like peaks stand on both sides of the river, and only four carriages can pass side by side in the middle.And this section of the river is hundreds of meters long, and it really looks like a channel that has been opened up.

The boatman who travels between Qizhou and Liuzhou loves to tell the legend of the "Yianxian Gorge" to the guests.

"According to the old legend, Qizhou was originally the residence of immortals, and it was not connected to the mortal world. Jianshan was used to block the road. It towered into the clouds and was extremely steep. Only immortals could fly over it. Later, an immortal fell in love with Ordinary women, in order to marry their beloved back home, split Jianshan Mountain in half, and a river ran through the middle, so that the bride could enter Qizhou by boat. This is the origin of East-West Sword Mountain and Yixian Gorge.” The white-bearded The boatman steered the boat and said in a slow tone.

Without waiting for the guests to ask questions, he pointed in another direction, "Do you think that mountain over there looks like a sword? According to legend, after the immortal split the mountain, he couldn't wait to go to meet the bride, so he threw the sword in his hand. Throwing, this is Jianping Mountain."

"Hey, how can there be immortals in this world?" A middle-aged man in short clothes laughed, "It's just far-fetched, just to add glory to this place. Don't say that there are no immortals in this world, but there are. Immortal fell in love and married as his wife? Do you think so?"

No response.These words are very unpleasant, even if the truth is true, but the reason why the legend is a legend, doesn't it just represent the good wishes passed down by the old people?Why care about the truth?

Moreover, he is proud of publishing such "high-level theories", which seems to be a bit grandstanding, so everyone naturally ignores it.

On the contrary, the boatman said slowly, "That may not be the case. I and other mortals have never seen it, and it may not exist in this world. My old man has never been out of Qiliu Erzhou in his life, but he has heard a few rumors about immortals and ghosts. As for the beauty of the world... He casually glanced at the direction of the cabin, smiled and shook his head.

"Why, could it be that you have seen it too?" the middle-aged man said disapprovingly.When he thought about it, how many stunning looks could this mountain boater have seen?Naturally, he looks better, and he is astonished as a heavenly man.But how can the eyes of the immortal be guessed by ordinary people?

Some people couldn't understand him like this, so they interjected, "I don't care if the legend is true or not, but the majesty and magnificence of this gorge is indeed rare in the world. To see it today is not in vain."

Whether it is seeing the ray of light from a distance, or looking up when passing through a gorge by boat, the natural greatness and my smallness are completely different from other places.Looking closely at the mountain wall on the river bank, it is flat and neat, as if it was split by someone!No wonder the locals invented such a legend.

With this sentence, everyone admired.The middle-aged man was a little unconvinced and sat there sullenly.

This section of the waterway is not far away, and soon the boat docked, and everyone got up and disembarked.Because the middle-aged man had goods on board, he had to wait for everyone else to leave before carrying them, so he didn't rush to get up.When everyone was almost gone, only to see someone in the cabin lifted the curtain and came out, but it was a boy about three or four years old, lively and lively, Yuxue was cute.He was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, with long life locks and other things hanging on it, and a thumb-sized ruby ​​was inlaid on his hat. He was the young son of some rich and noble family.

"Brother Yuan, walk slowly, be careful of falling!" An adult man's voice came from the cabin, and someone lifted the curtain to come out. Similar, when it is father and son.He came out in a hurry, reached out and grabbed the boy, but he didn't leave in a hurry, but turned to look at the cabin.

The middle-aged man watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help becoming nervous.This family occupied the cabin, could it be that they were accompanied by their female relatives?

Thinking of it this way, a bit of inexplicable expectation also arose in my heart, and I also looked at the cabin.

The one who came out first was a hand, as white as jade, with slender fingers, lifted the curtain slightly, and then revealed the master's full appearance, but it was a young man dressed in white.He is wearing a robe made of plain brocade, which looks ordinary, but when he walks in the sun, he can vaguely see cloud patterns flowing on it, which is low-key and luxurious.However, this robe, which is worth hundreds of gold, is just an embellishment to this young master.

Eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like spots of lacquer, red lips and white teeth, blue hair like waterfalls... All these words that I didn't know much before suddenly appeared in my mind, but none of them were suitable to describe this person.The middle-aged man was stunned for a while, and then he sighed in his heart: there is no one in this world who can be born like this!

After that, two attendants came out of the cabin, carrying boxes and cages and other things, and followed them.It wasn't until the other party walked away that the middle-aged man felt that he had finally breathed out, but he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

The boatman smiled beside him, "This kind of beauty in the world must be able to tempt the hearts of immortals, right?"

The middle-aged man was speechless.

……

"These people are looking at you." Among the crowd, Xue Pan complained to Bo Yang dissatisfied.

Even after a few years, the relationship between the two has grown stronger, but he still hasn't made any progress in being jealous.Whenever other people looked at Bo Yang more than once, their hearts immediately lifted.

Not worried.After all, Bo Yang doesn't even have to hide his face like before, worrying about unnecessary troubles caused by his face.The two of them now have a little influence, and there are Hejun Wangfu and Jiangzhou Liu's behind them, so idlers dare not provoke them.

Although there is no need to worry, since Xue Pan minds, Bo Yang will naturally not stay.The two found the carriage that was coming to pick them up and sat in it.

Zhao Wenyuan sat between the two, looking left and right, with a strange look on his face.He was like this all the way, he was interested in everything he saw, and he didn't feel tired from the long journey at all.It's strange that Baochai can't take it anymore, and the young prince of Hejun Wangfu has more energy.

Thinking of the couple who couldn't wait to push their son to him, Bo Yang felt it was funny.

In fact, to him, it doesn't make much difference whether he has children or not, but Baochai is very concerned about this matter, and he doesn't know where he is sure that he will like children, so this time he and Xue Pan went to Beijing , so he insisted on letting Zhao Wenyuan follow him.

Zhao Wenyuan is the second child of Baochai and Zhao Ziyi, and the county palace already has an heir, so the meaning of sending this child to Bo Yang is self-evident.Naturally, the Zhao family is a royal family, and their status will definitely not change, but since Zhao Wenyuan grew up with two uncles, it will not feel awkward to be filial to them and even die in the future.

Bo Yang understands this good intentions, so he doesn't know how to refuse.So when I left the capital, I didn't say anything in advance, I just left a message for the servants to convey.Unexpectedly, after boarding the boat, Zhao Wenyuan suddenly jumped out of the cage.

The child who is only three years old is alone on this boat, and if there is a slight mistake, he may not be found.When Bo Yang thought of this, his heart skipped a beat, so he could only keep a close eye on him, and if he wanted to send him back, he didn't even need to mention it.

On the contrary, Xue Pan likes this nephew who looks somewhat similar to himself and is also courageous.It is said that a nephew is like an uncle, and the two demon kings, one big and one small, are very congenial when they stay together.

At first, Bo Yang was worried that Zhao Wenyuan would not be able to adapt to being away from his parents. Later, when he exchanged letters with the capital, he realized that Baochai had actually asked Zhao Wenyuan for his own opinion.Seeing this reason, Xue Pan almost grabbed the child and beat him up. The honeymoon period of the uncle and nephew came to an end, and the daily battle for Bo Yang began.

For example, at this moment, when sitting in the carriage, Zhao Wenyuan must sit between the two of them, swaying back and forth, never giving Xue Pan a chance to get close to Bo Yang, and then hugging Bo Yang's arm and asking, "Uncle Yang, where is this place?" Is it our home?"

"Yes." Bo Yang came back to his senses and replied softly.

The place he and Xue Pan finally decided to live in was as far away as the capital and Jinling.Those disturbing chores seemed to have been left in their original places, so they were able to come here with ease.

What will the days ahead be like?Bo Yang was full of anticipation.
