Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Along the way, there were soldiers standing guard, saluting to them one after another. Yingluo saw that all of them had bronze-colored faces, and wore brown Tibetan robes with gold threads. They were tall and burly, looking like iron towers. They are similar to those Tibetans with bronzed skin, but with knives and daggers of various sizes hanging around their waists, their faces are fierce, and some have scars on their faces, showing a trace of fear in their hearts.They all looked taller and tougher than Langka, so they looked at Langka who was walking in front.

His white clothes and hat are as luxurious and beautiful as the white watchtowers rising all over the mountains and plains in Leuwei.Aisha was holding his arm, and he was talking and laughing with Aisha in a low voice. You could see his bumpy side face shining with moving brilliance. It was hard to imagine that he was the leader of these soldiers.Fu Heng said that although the chieftain is still Sha Luoben, and he is also appointed by the imperial court as the appeasement department of Dajinchuan and the official governor of the district, but five years ago, Sha Luoben had handed over the real power to his son.

Fu Heng took Yingluo's hand, and Yingluo asked in a low voice, "Is this the same way you came last time?"Fu Heng nodded with a smile, and said: "However, they were not so friendly. At that time, the two armies were fighting each other, and both sides were nervous."Yingluo thought to herself, is this considered friendly?How is that unfriendly?He asked with a smile: "Will the young master also be nervous?"

Fu Hengdao: Of course.I suddenly thought of Fatima. On that day many years ago, I and General Yue Zhongqi also set foot on this high slope to meet her and Aisha. The eyes of the gods witnessed everything...Jinchuan, the desert, the Forbidden City...Finally, he was connected to her in some way...Fatima said that it was Allah who heard her heart...In an instant, Rong The song "Tianshan Snow Lotus" played and sung by the concubine in the Hall of Mental Cultivation became very clear:

I am a thousand year snow lotus

quietly staring into the distance

You promised you would appear when the flowers bloom

I'm waiting crazily

……

Ruidong and Zhuzhu walked behind them, and they couldn't help being frightened.Pearl suddenly smiled slightly, and Ruidong asked: What are you laughing at?Pearl said: Master and adults are so loving.Ruidong felt that she thought of her husband who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, so she said: I heard that Yili is very cold.Pearl said: Lord Sauron must also want to see you, Madam, soon.Rui Dong blushed, and said with a smile: I don't think he even remembers what I look like.Pearl said: Aren't you communicating?Rui Dong said: Yes, but just talk about the situation of Er Niang and her family.Pearl said: You won't leave this time, you don't have to worry.Ruidong nodded, with a little joy in his eyes.

On the way, Aisha asked her sister-in-law Gelai. Langka said that she took the child back to her natal home a few days ago. Today Aisha arrived and sent her a letter. She will be back soon.

Walking to the middle of the mountain, in front of the bunker of the main building, Sha Luoben and his wife were standing outside waiting. Both of them were wearing colorful costumes and various luxurious accessories.When Yingluo saw Sha Luoben, her face was also bronzed. She was tall and tall, with big arms and round waist, rough features, and piercing eyes. Naturally, she was much more imposing than those soldiers. Aisha's eyebrows and eyes were slightly similar to him.Mrs. Tusi is fair-skinned, slightly fat, and looks rich, with fine wrinkles on her face, deep and beautiful eyes, delicate nose and mouth, and she looks good-natured.

Elsa hugged her parents and all three were moved to tears.Sha Luo ran: "My child, you are finally home!"Also married!Happy Appa!Mrs. Tusi hugged her daughter tightly and said: At that time, I called you Apa and forced you away. You are stubborn!Elsa asks: How are you, Mum?How are you?Mrs. Tusi said: "Okay, okay!"Every time you write a letter and come back, you say that you are very good. I think what good can be done if you become a monk? !These years, child, you have suffered!Look at your cyan robe, it's too plain, it's all made by monks!

Pu Dawa stepped forward to greet the second elder. The couple looked him up and down, and saw that he was wearing a soot-gray robe, which was also very simple.Pudawa, as always, looked calm, but felt very embarrassed.Sha Luoben finally finished looking at her and said: Aisha is very willful, right?Pudawa hurriedly said: She treats me very well, don't worry.The more Mrs. Tusi saw Pudawa, the more she liked Pudawa, and said to him with a smile: Thank you for giving up everything for Aisha, and for taking care of Aisha for so many years.We're having a make-up wedding at home and it's all set.

Before Pudawa could speak, Aisha said: Mom, we had a wedding.Mrs. Tusi said: That doesn't count, we Tibetans have to do it like a Tibetan wedding.Aisha looked at Pudawa, and Pudawa smiled at her, and then said to Mrs. Tusi: I listen to Grandma.Mrs. Tusi smiled and said to Aisha: It doesn't matter if you are disobedient, as long as he listens to us!

Then the Tusi couple met Fu Heng and his wife, and saw that they were also wearing ordinary clothes.Fu Heng conveyed the emperor's official greetings to the couple, saying that since he came to Jinchuan secretly, it was inconvenient to dress up in court clothes, and he had no intention of neglecting or belittling them.Give him the emperor's hand, and tell him to take it without kneeling.Sha Luoben bowed his head respectfully, took the oracle with both hands, put it in his arms, and said: "Master Fu Heng, we meet again, you are still so handsome!"Now he has become No.1 by the emperor's side, what a joy to congratulate!It's been so many years, it's rare that the emperor still misses me, but it's a pity that Yue Gong has passed away, so please, Lord Fu Heng!

Mrs. Tusi and Yingluo walked behind and asked her warmly about the hard journey.After entering the main hall, Yingluo introduced other people.Mrs. Tusi was very happy when she heard that Ye Tianshi was a famous doctor in Beijing, and asked him to treat her waist and leg problems later.After the lunch, everyone was led to rest in the arranged bungalows. Ruidong and Yingluo lived in the same bungalow.

Diaofang generally has three floors, the first floor is relatively low, and is mainly used to store large farm tools and livestock in captivity; the second floor houses the "guozhuang" centered on the perennial fire pond, which is the firepit or stove in the middle of the hall. A tripod, called "Ximi", has a large pot ring with a diameter of nearly one meter on it. The pot is placed on the ring, which is the heart of the whole house. It has multiple functions such as kitchen, dining room, and hall, and then there are bedrooms, etc. ; The third floor is the scripture hall and balcony.The sutra hall on the top floor of the house is the dwelling place of gods, the middle floor is the residence of people, and the lower floor is the heaven and earth for animals. This coincides with the concept of the world in Tibetan Buddhist belief. According to the religious concept, there are heaven, earth, hell and hell. exist.A house seems to be a reincarnation world.

The chieftain's house is naturally different from ordinary Tibetan houses. Many watchtowers are higher than three stories and very spacious.Furnishings, interior decorations, utensils and utensils are all top-grade treasures, gold, silver, jade, silk and satin are exquisite, but the layout of the watchtower is no different from that of ordinary people's homes.

Yingluo felt sleepy and fell asleep when she got on the kang.So Fu Heng looked at her eyebrows and eyes lovingly, arranged her body, then pulled the quilt over and lay down with her.Thinking back to the night when I first came here many years ago, I didn't dare to really fall asleep, so I held the sachet that Yingluo gave me in my hand, and prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless me to take Jinchuan, and if I go back alive, I can marry her.Then he took out the faded sachet from his pocket, he didn't take it with him, but he specially took it with him on this trip westward.Yingluo said that she wanted to walk the way he had walked before, so this sachet also walked the same way again... Thinking of this, tenderness surged in her heart, and she kissed Yingluo on the cheek.

Mrs. Chieftain sent her daughter and son-in-law to the blockhouse where Aisha lived on the left side of the main building. Aisha saw that the furnishings in her blockhouse were exactly the same as before. Looking at her mother, Mrs. Chieftain said: I come here every day to see.Aisha felt sour, she shed tears, hugged her mother, and said: "Mom, it's my fault. I left home willfully and made you sad for so many years."

Mrs. Tusi patted her and said, "Son, just come back!"Just come back!It's all your fault, Appa!it's not your fault!Then he separated from his daughter, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: When will you be a mother?Aisha blushed, but felt uneasy in her heart, and said: Sister-in-law has given birth to so many grandchildren for you!Mrs. Tusi laughed again, and said to Pudawa: Aisha seldom blushes!It can be seen that she loves you!Pudawa hurriedly said: I love her too.Mrs. Tusi was even happier, and said: "Good!"Aisha didn't expect Pudawa to be outspoken, her face turned even redder, and she didn't look at the two of them.

After Mrs. Tusi left, Aisha still didn't look at Pudawa. Pudawa poured water into the silver pot by the table, walked over, handed the silver cup to her, and said softly: Are you tired?But finally home.Aisha took the cup and drank it, and leaned into his arms, and Pudawa hugged her gently.She closed her eyes, took a long breath, and asked: Are you not sad?Pu Dawa shook her head and said: Actually, I really don't remember what Grandma looks like.Aisha's heart felt sore again, she stretched out her hands, hugged him tightly, and began to pray secretly again.

From the second day onwards, Fu Heng and Pu Dawa discussed Jinchuan affairs with the chieftain and his son.The rest traveled together, and Langka sent people to lead the way, and sent a team of native soldiers to accompany them to guard.

On the platform at the foot of Longjia Mountain, there is a bustling street, which is the most central area of ​​Jinchuan. In addition to the Jiarong Tibetan-style street houses on both sides of the street, the mountain temple, and the Dragon King Temple and Guandi Temple that are common in the Central Plains, Everyone couldn't help being surprised.

They also went to Mount Suowu in Wanlin Township together.Suowu Mountain is divided into Male Mountain, Female Mountain, City Wall Mountain, Qipan Mountain, etc. The mountains and mountains are connected with each other, with different shapes and strange scenes.Since ancient times, Sowu Mountain has been a sacred mountain in the minds of Tibetans in Jinchuan and Malkang areas.Every auspicious day, Tibetans will turn mountains and rivers here to carry out various sacrificial activities.The crowd went to Wanli City, which was left by the imperial army when the imperial army conquered Jinchuan, and watched the castle, city wall, fort, military storehouse, camp, stone carvings, trenches, etc.The Wanli City was built like the Great Wall, hundreds of miles long, and at regular intervals, there was an outpost, all of which were set up in strategic or conspicuous places.Standing on the city wall on the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the landscape with a radius of [-] to [-] kilometers.

On the evening of the third day, Yingluo smiled and showed Fu Heng the Jiarong Tibetan ornaments she had bought in the street market, and said she bought them for someone.Fu Heng also found it very interesting to see the flowers and greenery everywhere.Yingluo said: Aisha's sisters-in-law are back, and tomorrow morning, I will wear Tibetan clothes with them and go to the street market. I heard it will be fun.Fu Heng nodded and said: Tomorrow we will go to the gold mine to survey, and we may not come back until evening. Zatiwei and Ah Zheng will go with me and Pudawa, and Hu Lin will follow you.

On the evening of the fourth day, when the men came back, they knew something had happened when they arrived at the pier in Guanzhai. The Tusi father and son, Fu Heng and Pu Dawa were all shocked.The four hurried back to the main building on the mountain. When Mrs. Tusi saw them, she immediately cried: Aisha, Master Fu Heng's wife and Gelai were kidnapped!It turned out that the three women took Hu Lin and the translator today to go to the market with a group of chieftain soldiers, but none of them came back, nor did the accompanying pearls and Ruidong. Someone from the street reported that they were all kidnapped. All the soldiers who followed were dead.But Ye Tianshi and his assistant didn't go because they stayed in the cottage, so they are fine.Mrs. Tusi knew that this matter should not be made public, and she was about to send someone to the gold mine to report the news.

This matter seems to be very difficult, no one would have thought that someone dared to break ground on the head of Jinchuan chieftain Taisui.

Langka's face darkened, his eyes narrowed, and he opened them suddenly, and said to Sha Luo: "Apa, could it be Phuntsok?"Then he looked at the adjutant beside him.The adjutant immediately bowed his head and went out.Sha Luoben's face twitched, and said: "It's probably him!"It can only be him!I didn't expect him to be so courageous!This bastard wants to trap us in injustice!The father and son immediately looked solemn and began to arrange soldiers to scout for news.

Fu Heng and Pu Dawa asked Mrs. Tusi, and Mrs. Tusi cried: If it is really him, Aisha will be in trouble!Then he told them that Bawang was less than [-] miles south of Jinchuan. The chieftain of Bawang was named Pingcuo, and he was over forty years old.Back then, in order to win over him, Sha Luoben wanted to marry Aisha as his successor, but Aisha resolutely refused, and left home at night, disguised as a man, and traveled thousands of miles to Lhasa to become a saint of the Baijiao. .

Fu Heng and Pudawa looked at each other with heavy hearts.The chieftains in these places are all lawless, brutal, brutal, and bloodthirsty, let alone women.Langka said bitterly over there: "Whoever dares to do anything to them, I will tear that person into pieces!"Pudawa couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and Fu Heng murmured, "If that's the case, they won't be in any danger for the time being, because Chieftain Bawang must have known their identities before doing this, and he would never dare to act rashly."Pudawa nodded, and he understood, but he was naturally anxious.

After a while, Langka's adjutant came back and whispered in his ear: "The shipment is back, everything is ready, I will go for you?"Langka said: I'll pour oil and come back.Pudawa heard this, so she looked at Langka.Langka signaled to the adjutant and said, the adjutant said: Our people have transported the corpses of our brothers back to the official village from the foot of the mountain. Card to pour ghee, you can cremate.Sha Luoben's face was gloomy, Mrs. Tusi was weeping, and Fu Heng and Pudawa's hearts became more and more heavy.

Before the native soldiers who went out to inquire came back, Guanzhai received a letter, which was indeed sent by Bawang. Phuncuo claimed that the three women were in his hands, and asked Le Wuwei to exchange them with the largest gold mine on the Jinchuan River.The name of Jinchuan comes from two rivers, the big one is called "Chujian" in Tibetan, and the small one is called "Yanla". They are the two main tributaries of the upper reaches of the Dadu River. The mine is called "Chuxie", which has been occupied and managed by Sha Luoben and his son for many years, and paid tribute to the imperial court every year after the Jinchuan War. Fu Heng followed the imperial decree and went there with everyone to investigate during the day.

Langka asked the old mothers to send Mrs. Tusi back to her watchtower to rest, and walked to her mother, hugged her, and told her to relax.Mrs. Tusi shook his hand tightly, nodded sadly, and was helped away.

Then the four men sat down at the table and discussed the matter together.The chieftain and his son took out a detailed topographical map of the surrounding areas of Bawang and the Bawang official village, and discussed how to seize people. Pudawa looked at the map carefully without saying a word. Kidnapping and murdering people in downtown Jinchuan, and even delivering letters, is openly hostile to the imperial court and threatening the imperial court. He must have made sufficient preparations early in the morning. Before the situation is unknown, we cannot act rashly.Pu Dawa said to Langka: Brother, tonight you send two good people who know the way, and I will go with them to find out the situation first, and then discuss it when we come back.

Fu Hengdao: I will go too.Both Langka and his son and Pudawa dissuaded him, saying that he was an official ordered by the court.Fu Hengdao: I am not worried about the others for the time being, but Zhuzhu and Ruidong may be in trouble, we must rescue them as soon as possible, and go to the village to find out the truth.The other three looked at each other, but they didn't expect this, and they were all taken aback.The final result of the discussion was that Langka Fuheng and Pu Dawa took a veteran who was familiar with Bawang in the village, named Duoga, and sneaked into the Bawang village together, and Langka's adjutant led 50 people to meet him under the village.
