Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 500 Yang Yuan pays homage to Mount Tai

Cui Yien had been to Yanjing City with Madam Jin and lived in Wugun Mansion for a long time. He recognized Yingge.

Some sailors who had not yet left the ship to seek pleasure in the city today thought that the captain had gotten there first, so they had to stand still and watch.

They just hoped that Cui Huochang would not have too big an appetite and would leave one for them so that they could bid again.

As a result, the two sides only talked for a short while, and their captain Cui very attentively invited the two girls on board.

The sailors were immediately disappointed, but when they saw that Cui Huochang was blinded by lust and actually brought two women on Mrs. Jin's ship, the sailors began to gloat over their misfortune.

The honorable Mrs. Jin did not stop them from going to the city to have fun, but if anyone dared to bring these dirty things on her boat and was caught by her, the consequences would be disastrous.

Now they just hoped that Cui Huochang would be caught by Mrs. Jin and be severely whipped.

On the ship, Jin Yuzhen was checking the cargo list in her cabin.

As time went by, the goods were shipped away one by one, and there was not much left.

It is estimated that in two days, the last batch of goods will be shipped to Huanxiling.

Since Shangjing City is still in Wanyan Yan's hands, tribal merchants who want to sell all kinds of rare and precious goods are now rushing to Huanxi Ridge.

They would hand over the goods to Goryeo merchants here, and then the merchants would transport them back to Dun'en City in carts for loading onto ships.

Of course, on the way back, they would also purchase a large amount of mountain products and furs, as well as various materials such as tendons, horns, glue, bones, etc. needed to make bows and crossbows from the villages, forts and tribal settlements along the way.

In fact, all of these were to be shipped to the Song Dynasty.

In two days, she will be able to rush to Huanxiling with the last batch of goods.

At this time, there was a knock on the cabin door, and Cui Yien's voice came in from outside: "Madam, Miss Yingge is here!"

"What?" Jin Yuzhen looked up in surprise when she heard Yingge's name.

The sailors on the dock were still waiting for Cui Huoli to fail, but Cui Huochang soon reappeared at the bow, while the two beauties he brought on board disappeared.

……

Yang Yuan and his group rushed to Saba Mountain.

Saba Mountain is located in the Suifen River Basin. It is just a mountain, but the Ugun tribe is distributed within hundreds of miles on both sides of the river.

However, Saba Mountain is the ruling center of this tribe, and its status is similar to that of a country's capital.

Therefore, when Yang Yuan and his party arrived at the foot of Saba Mountain, they had actually already entered Saba Mountain's territory.

The news that the Jurchen tribes unanimously elected Du Bojilie and the son of Yue King Wanyan Luti, Wanyan Hongkang, to pay homage to the mountain had already spread to the mountain.

But no one was sent from Mount Saba to greet them. Instead, some tribal warriors "escorted" them from a distance and sent them to the foot of Mount Saba.

To be chosen by a large tribe that has been passed down for hundreds of years as a place for its rulers to settle, a mountain or river must meet two conditions:
One is that it is steep and rugged, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Another is the beautiful scenery and lush vegetation.

Saba Mountain certainly has such conditions.

The mountains are steep and majestic, and one man can block the passage of ten thousand men.

But there are many flat and wide slopes on the mountain. If crops are grown on the mountain and irrigated with mountain spring water, people on the mountain can survive and multiply even if the mountain is blocked.

As long as the population does not increase rapidly, it will be fine to stay for dozens or even hundreds of years.

When Yang Yuan and his companions arrived at the foot of the mountain, they asked someone to report back up the mountain.

Shangguan Luo thought for a moment, then rode his horse to Yang Yuan's side and whispered, "Young Prince, do you want to detain Miss Yingge in the army first?"

He was afraid that Wugu Lun's false statements would be detrimental to Yang Yuan. If he detained Yingge in the army, if something unexpected happened, he might be able to do a "one for one" exchange.

Although this is the territory of the Ugur clan, the Ugur clan has already gathered all the warriors of the clan and built fortifications all around.

Otherwise, their two thousand cavalry would still have a way to break out.

Yang Yuan shook his head and said calmly: "Don't worry, E Lun still maintained his status as the clan leader and did not pass it on to his son, but let his son go to Wanyan Yong. This shows that he is a cautious person and not a reckless man."

Shangguan Luo said in a deep voice: "Then I will accompany the little prince up the mountain!"

Yang Yuan thought to himself, if you accompany me up the mountain, then I will be exposed.

He smiled slightly, patted Shangguan Luo's arm that was holding the reins, and said sincerely: "No, Li You is brave, but he is not good at using strategies.

When I'm not here, you have to act as the brains of these two thousand soldiers."

Shangguan Luo's blood boiled, and he said excitedly: "Don't worry, my young master, I am at the foot of the mountain, and I am willing to be your rock to guard the mountain."

At this time, several riders on fast horses came to the mountain gate made of large pieces of bluestone, and shouted loudly: "Da Bojin invites young Prince Wanyan to come up the mountain!"

Yang Yuan patted Shangguan Luo's arm again, looked at Li You who was fully armed, dismounted, asked the coachman to move aside, and drove himself towards the huge stone gate that was ten feet deep.

On the left and right sides of the doorway and on the disc wall above it, there were archers and spear-wielding warriors on high alert.

On Mount Saba, Wugun's brothers Yuanyi, Yuanwu, Yuanshuang, Yuanqian, Yuangu, Yuanying, Yuanxiong and other brothers and sisters Fuge, Guige, Yuge, Meige and other sisters were all waiting outside the hall.

Elun issued an order not to let them go down the mountain without permission.

These are Yingge’s peers, not all of them are Elun’s children. There are also children of Elun’s brothers and cousins.

Their family is a one-character ranking system for all generations.

Among these people, in terms of age, the youngest was still wearing open-crotch pants and had a runny nose, and the oldest was only one or two years younger than E Lun.

Therefore, waiting outside the hall were Yingge’s nephews and even a few of his great-nephews.

The main building of Saba Mountain is built against the mountain and is three stories high.

On the third floor, Princess Bi would walk to the window from time to time and look out at the winding mountain road in the distance.

This Saba Mountain is a main peak, with several other lower peaks guarding it.

The military transport road often has extremely steep slopes that require both hands and feet to climb, so it is not suitable for guests to walk. However, the gentle mountain road is a circuitous winding mountain road, so it is impossible to see the bottom of the mountain at a glance. You have to wait until the car reaches the bottom of the main peak to see it.

E Lun was sitting at the table calmly drinking tea. Seeing his wife fidgeting, he couldn't help but say, "Why rush? Once they reach the main peak, someone will come to report."

"It turns out that this is not the flesh that fell from your body!"

Princess Bi glared at him fiercely: "Even if you don't feel sorry for her, I do. Yingge, that child..."

At this point, Princess Bi's eyes turned red and she took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Elun said helplessly: "She is fine, why are you crying?"

Princess Bi choked up and said, "The child suffered such a great crime, and it was not her intention. Isn't it because you men wanted to fight for power and kill that you harmed her?

If...she really followed Yang Xueshi of the Song Dynasty first, and was then given to Wanyan Hongkang, then she had no choice. As her father, you are not allowed to insult her when you see her."

Elun glared and asked, "When did I ever say I would scold her?"

Princess Bi choked up and said, "Look, you dared to glare at me, and you said you wouldn't scold her."

Elun was silent for a moment, then went downstairs with a thump.

He was already feeling irritated, but he couldn't just nag and cry like his wife, right?

But Princess Bi's noise made him annoyed, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to hide downstairs.

Elun was annoyed because he didn't know how to deal with Wanyan Hongkang who came to him on his own initiative.

Since Wanyan Hongkang dared to come, it was obvious that he had known that Wanyan Yong had raised the flag of rebellion, and had accepted the title of Amabojilie bestowed upon him by the Jurchen tribes after they swore an oath on the Holy Mountain.

Under such circumstances, Anbanbojilie Wanyan Hongkang was paying homage to him, and he could not resort to violence under any circumstances.

This is the rationality of being the head of a clan.

But emotionally, he wanted to kill Wanyan Hongkang with one blow.

That little beast not only defiled his daughter, but also dared to bring his daughter up the mountain in a show of force.

Elun returned to the hall, sat cross-legged on the bearskin bed, frowned and said nothing.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Princess Bi came down quickly from upstairs.

When Erlun saw his wife's hurried steps, his heart skipped a beat. Has Yingge arrived?

He subconsciously wanted to stand up, but he paused in the air and slowly sat back down.

He needs to keep calm. The battle has just begun and he cannot lose the initiative.

Yang Yuan was driving the car, and the main peak was already in sight.

In front of the main peak, there is an open area with houses scattered among the woods and grasslands.

All the houses are made of wood, and only the main house is magnificent, but it is just a big house, not a palace.

In addition to the close relatives of the Ugun family, many people rushed to the main peak after hearing the news.

When they saw him, they stood with their knives drawn and glared at him.

Yang Yuan waved his whip calmly: "Make way, spare some light."

Yang Yuan drove the car all the way to the lobby of the main house before stopping.

All the peers and juniors of the Ugun family who were guarding outside the main house rushed over.

Yuan Yi couldn't wait to call out, "Sister, Yingge?"

Others also started shouting in a mess, some called her sisters, some called her aunt, and some even called her aunt in a baby voice.

Yang Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He thought, "Didn't you realize that I'm not young anymore?"

As soon as Yang Yuan jumped out of the car, he was pushed away by Ugun Yuanyi.

Yuan Yi rushed forward and lifted the carriage curtain, shouting with joy: "Little sister, I..."

The voice stopped abruptly. Yuan Yi looked at the two people in the car in shock. He subconsciously took two steps back and looked at the car again.

That’s right, the carriage is this small, there is no other space, where is my sister?
In the car, Alihu and Ata tried to remain calm, but they had never seen such a big scene before and were stared at by countless pairs of eyes outside the car. Their faces turned pale.

But they still followed Yang Yuan's instructions and sat in the car without moving.

Yuan Yi shouted at Yang Yuan, "Where's my sister?"

Yang Yuan ignored him and reached into his arms. Seeing this, Yuan Yi immediately stepped back a few steps and drew out his knife with a "clang".

Yang Yuan took out a paper bag from his bosom and began to distribute candied fruits to the children enthusiastically: "Hello everyone, I am Yingge's man. Come on, little one, call me uncle."

Yang Yuan bent over and handed a piece of candied fruit to the little girl with her hair in a bun who had just called her "auntie". Then Yuan Yi grabbed her collar and lifted her up.

Yuan Yi roared, "Where's my sister?"

Yang Yuan didn't recognize that he had appeared on the holy mountain.

Yang Yuan looked at him calmly and said calmly: "I will talk to you after I pay my respects to my father-in-law."

Yuan Yi flew into a rage and raised his fist, but Yang Yuan didn't even blink.

Yuan Yi gritted his teeth. Without seeing the girl, he didn't dare to throw the punch.

He let go of Yang Yuan angrily, slowly took two steps back, and grabbed the hilt of the knife.

Yang Yuan calmly tidied up his clothes and walked towards the hall...

PS: The second update of the day will be written tomorrow morning. I can’t sit still anymore. My lumbar spine is feeling uncomfortable. I have to get up and move around.
