However, it is said that Chengjun and Jing, which are rich in jewels in Mengguo, are often invaded by the Dirong tribes Weasel, Ji, Weiyu, and Yaoshui because they are located on the southern border. Since then, it has not caused any harm to Beijing.At the time when Dong Qu was stationed in the frontier for three years and returned to the court, he heard that the four tribes headed by Yaoshui reached a consensus to establish a national kiln. Today, he coveted the prosperity of Beijing and tried to seize it and set up his capital here.After Shao Jun got the letter, he sent Dong Quzhong, who was about to return to the court, to the battlefield to resist foreign enemies.

However, Dong Qu has been stationed in northern Xinjiang all the year round, and because of his advanced age and exhaustion of vehicles and horses, he came to the wet and fertile land with Beijing, where he contracted a disease.The army sent people to look for doctors everywhere, but the so-called famous doctors saw the sores all over his body, but they didn't know what the disease was.Deputy General Meng Zigao saw that Dong Qu was lying in the barracks all day, so he wrote a letter to Shao Jun, hoping that he would issue an edict to call him back to the court for treatment.When Dong Qu heard about this, he yelled, "Dong has been fighting against the enemy all year round. He has seen countless plotters and vicious people, but he didn't know that there was a white-eyed wolf by his side." After yelling for dozens of days, before Shao Jun summoned him, Dong Qu festered all over his body and lay down in the smelly skin and pus.Meng Zigao said that it was just the time to fight against the enemy, and he did not have any extra manpower, so he only sent more than [-] remnants of soldiers to wrap Dong Qu's body in horse hide, tie it on the horse's back, and transport it back.

It was the fire season in July, and after traveling for several months, when it was sent back to Dong's mansion, the corpse had already rotted and had maggots, and there was no human appearance.

Shao Jun buried Dong Qu with royal etiquette, and the Dong family held the funeral for seven days and seven nights.During this period, Mrs. Dong didn't sleep every day, knelt in front of the spiritual tablet and wept bitterly. The servants in the mansion cried along with him for three days. Three days later, Shu Hui called him to rebuild the other courtyard in the mansion.Soon the white flowers and white silk ribbons in the mansion were slowly removed, only Dong Qu's spiritual seat was left in the hall and no one dared to move it.Seeing people taking tea to cool down, Dong became more and more sad. After a few months, she also became depressed and became ill and was bedridden.Shu Yin often sat by the bedside, seeing him, Dong couldn't help thinking about his father, Dong Qu. Although Shu Yin didn't have much affection for Dong Qu, seeing his mother like this, she couldn't help but secretly feel sad and shed tears.

As soon as Dong Qu died, the Dong family was dominated by Shu cypress. Shu cypress went around to recruit celebrities and scholars under the door, and also won over the ministers of the court and the central government, and presented him with countless jewels, gold and silver.Therefore, there are counselors outside Shuhui, and ministers who have teeth and benefits inside. Shaojun favored him more and more. In the second year, he ordered him to be a royal official, and he could go to the court with all the ministers to discuss matters .

One day, Shao Jun summoned the juniper to his bedroom, turned away from the left and right sides, and asked, "How long has the Qing family been in Manguo?"

Shu Hui said, "It's been more than 18 years."

Shao Jun asked again, "How does the Qing family think this king treats you?"

Shu Hui said, "Mr. Shao does not shy away from being an inferior minister, but still gives him a heavy responsibility. It can be seen that it is what Ming Jun did."

Shao Jun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did the Qing family ever think about going back to Yue?"

Shu Hui clasped his hands and said, "The wife of Shu Hui is the daughter of the Great General of the Mang Kingdom, the son of Shu Hui is the grandson of the Great General of the Mang Kingdom, Shu Hui is the important minister of the Mang State, the family of Shu Hui is the Mang State, and the king is the sage Shao Jun, why is there any reason to go to Yue country?"

Shao Jun nodded slightly, and said, "After hearing this, I feel at ease to discuss this matter with the Qing family." So Fang told about his intention to establish a crown prince.

Shao Jun's youngest son, now only has four princes, except for the second prince Tan and the third prince Che Yan who have grown up, the other two princes are all young.Shu Hui said, "I heard that the third prince is smart, clever, and good at riding and shooting, but the second prince is not as good."

Shao Jundao, "It's more than a little deficient, it's just unbelievably stupid, clumsy in speech and tongue, only knows how to eat and drink, and doesn't think about making progress."

Shu Hui said, "So, I think it's good for the second prince to be crown prince."

Shao Jun said displeased, "You just praised Che Yan, and you know that the king doesn't like it, why did you suggest to make the second prince the crown prince?"

Shu Hui said, "Shao Jun thinks that I only listened to the third prince's praise. I also heard that the third prince is very happy, has a violent temper, and often blames his subordinates severely. If the third prince is crowned prince, it may be the misfortune of the people of the rogue country. Although the second prince is dull, he is simple and honest, if he has virtuous ministers to assist him, it cannot be said that he will not be able to achieve something."

After hearing this, Shao Jun only glanced at him lightly, and he was no longer friendly to him before, and after a few idle words, he let Shu Hui back down.

However, what Shu Hui said was overheard by the eunuch who was serving beside Shao Jun, and the eunuch told Yu Che Yan, who was furious when he heard about it, because this matter was discussed secretly by Shao Jun with his favorite minister, it is not good Ming Ming went to look for Shu Hui, so he could only lose his temper in the prince's mansion.

It is said that after getting acquainted with Zhu Dian, Na Shuyin did not know how many foolish things he did with him.And now that he is getting older, Shu Hui has neglected to discipline him, and he has to use his temper to skip class and go out to mess around because he has a headache today and a stomachache tomorrow.

Today, if he was happy, he went back to the palace, and when he reached the Caiyun Pavilion, he saw Wushuang standing in the pavilion facing the lake water, and there was no one waiting around him.Shu Yin pretended not to see it, but Wushuang was turning around, Shu Yin could only smile and asked, "Why is the princess standing here alone?"

Wu Shuang also hadn't seen him for many days, now when he heard him ask, she said, "I only know that you will pass by from now on, so I want to see when you will show up."

Shu Yin hurriedly said, "Princess has something to ask me, I just ordered the eunuch to pass it on, so why wait here?"

Wu Shuang didn't look at him, and said with a light smile, "Then you just think I'm a fool."

Shu Yin didn't dare to make any further noises when she heard the words, followed her to look at the water at the foot of the pavilion, a few aquatic plants protruded from the bottom, shaking in the water, and saw a small light yellow and green water snake swimming out of it, Shu Yin looked at it Interesting, I chased after him and leaned over to look.Wu Shuang was only staring at the water surface in a daze, but didn't pay attention to the water snake, seeing Shu Yin's movement, she also fixed her eyes on it, and when she saw it, she let out a cry of surprise, and threw herself on Shu Yin's body.Shu Yin didn't know what was going on, but Wu Shuang hugged her tightly and didn't let go, she didn't dare to move rashly for a while, and said, "This...princess, this must not be done."

After hearing this, Wu Shuang let go of her hand, knowing that she had lost her composure, she blushed and dared not raise her head, and said, "There was a snake just now, I wonder if you saw it."

Seeing this, Shu deliberately teased her, "Really? I didn't see it."

Wu Shuang pointed at the lake anxiously, but she didn't dare to look over there, "It's right there, there really is a snake, I didn't lie to you!"

Shu Yin laughed and said, "Even if there is a snake, but I didn't know that the princess is so timid, she is quite bold just now in broad daylight."

Wu Shuang lowered her head in embarrassment.

Shu Yin leaned on the railing with both hands and looked down, the water snake had long since disappeared, but he purposely shouted, "Snake, I saw it!"

Wu Shuang hurriedly retreated to the center of the pavilion, and shouted, "You...don't look at it, it's about to fly up, so what should I do?"

Shu Yin was amused by these words, turned around, still grasped the railing with both hands, leaned back on the railing, and said with a smile, "Princess, don't be afraid of this idiot."

Wu Shuang still didn't approach, she put her hands in front of her body, and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

Shu led, "The princess must have never heard the story of the farmer and the snake, right?"

Wu Shuang said, "What kind of story is this? I've never heard of it."

Shu led, "After hearing this story, the princess will no longer be afraid of this thing."

Wu Shuang rushed forward and said, "Then tell me quickly."

I only heard Shu Yin speak slowly, "There was a farmer who was cutting firewood among the people. One day when he went up the mountain to cut firewood, he met a big snake. He caught it and wanted to kill it..."

Wu Shuang hurriedly stopped, "Why, he is not afraid of a big snake?"

Shu Yin laughed and said, "What is there to be afraid of, he has a machete in his hand, and he is still afraid of him when he sees a snake... It is said that when the farmer was about to cut off the head of the snake, the snake actually spoke..."

Wu Shuang stared in shock, and hurriedly asked, "Why... why did the snake start talking?"

Shu Yin straightened her body and said, "Princess, just listen to me and don't interrupt."

Wu Shuang just shut up.

Shu led the way, "It turns out that this snake is a giant python that has practiced for nine hundred and ninety-nine years. It told the farmer, 'I will become refined after one more year of practice. Now that you cut off my head, don't you teach me the nine hundred and ninety-nine years of cultivation?" One hundred and ninety-nine years have been wasted, why don't you let me go this time, and I will repay you in the future." The farmer was surprised when he saw the snake speak, but after hearing this, he thought that it was not easy for the snake to practice hard for nearly a thousand years , so he put down the machete, and said to the snake, "I don't ask for anything in return for letting you go today. You just promise me that I will become better in the future and never hurt the world." Disappeared in the grass."

Wu Shuang smelled this, and couldn't help asking again, "That means the snake agreed to the farmer, so that his fellow snakes won't harm anyone?"

Shu Yin shook her head and said, "Even if there is no farmer, the snake will not harm people. This is the previous story, please listen to me to finish the story... In this way, another year will pass, and it will be the day when the farmer caught the snake last year. In the middle of the month, the Sea Dragon King lost his temper, and it rained for days on end, and the rain soon reached the legs of the farmer's bed. One night, the farmer couldn't sleep well because of the wet bed. There was lightning and thunder, and the farmer suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a white light flashing in front of him, and a beautiful woman in white shirt appeared in the room. Remember the snake you let go last year?" The farmer remembered, and the woman said again, "I am that snake. I'm here to tell you that at sunrise tomorrow, the rainstorm will stop, but the mountain torrent will come. Now, take your family and escape quickly.' After that, there was another flash of white light, and the house returned to darkness, only the sound of heavy rain outside. The farmer hurriedly beat his thigh with his hand, and it hurt for a moment, so he knew it was not Dream, quickly woke up his wife and children, escaped from the village overnight, even rolling and climbing without taking a break, and arrived at the top of the mountain the next day, seeing the sun in the east, and it really stopped raining, suddenly heard a few rumblings, the flood came from The mountain collapsed and flooded the entire village into a river in an instant. So it was because of the snake that the farmer's family survived."

Wu Shuang didn't dare to let out a sigh of relief when she heard this, and asked after a while, "Then, what about the other people in the village?"

Shu cited Tanshou and said, "Of course they were all drowned."

Wu Shuang was stunned for a long time, then suddenly frowned and said, "Why didn't the farmer tell the others so that he could escape with him?"

Shu Yin pouted slightly, and said, "If the farmer goes to tell his family, he may not be able to escape, not to mention that other people in the village have never seen the snake girl, so how can they believe the farmer, and maybe they will say that he was murdered?" If you are evil, tie them up and beat them up."

Wu Shuang was about to speak, but saw Che Yan rushing towards this direction with a few followers.

It turned out that Che Yan had been in a good mood for a few days because of the Shu juniper. He happened to pass by the Caiyun Pavilion today and saw Shu Yin in the pavilion.

Shu Yin was telling Wu Shuang the story about the snake god and ghost, but she didn't pay attention to him, Wu Shuang saw that the car was dying and brought a group of people, Fang wanted to say that the car was already behind Shu Yin, and she just raised her leg. Shu Yin was caught off guard, he rushed forward and staggered a few steps before he stood firm, turned around and saw that it was Che Yan, he didn't know that there was something about Shu cypress in it, and saw his vajra's glaring eyes, it didn't seem like the usual looking for trouble and jokes, although it was in the way He kicked, but he wasn't angry, he just bowed his head and asked, "The Third Prince became furious for some reason?"

Che Yan folded his hands on his chest, and said with a sneer, "There is indeed someone who provoked me. Once there was a general's daughter who didn't know how to behave. , I really hate it, do you know this person?"

Shu Yin heard that the general's daughter didn't know what to do, so she already showed anger, and seeing that she called Shu Hui a foreign thief, she became more angry, and said, "I don't know who the third prince is referring to, it's just this mad dog in the palace. Barking all over the place is really annoying to me."

Che Yanhu's face turned red, his eyes protruded, and he shouted, "Who do you call a mad dog?"

Shu Yin raised her eyes and said calmly, "Whoever barks here is the one."

Che Yan flew over fiercely, Shu Yin stretched his arms to one side, but he didn't pounce on the person, but because he couldn't hold back his strength, he slammed into a pillar on the side, Che Yan yelled, calling to his followers, "You... I'll teach him a lesson."

Wu Shuang was already afraid of Brother Huang, seeing more than ten people rushing towards Shu Yin, she shouted anxiously, "Stop beating, stop! Stop!"

Shu introduced a group of people rushing towards him, and jumped to hide on the railing beside the pavilion.Seeing that he happened to be standing next to his arm, Che Yan hugged Shu Yin's calf with both hands, and said with a sneer, "I'll see where you're going." Then he broke his leg hard.Shu Yin knew what he was doing, so he put all his strength on his legs, and his legs seemed to be nailed to the railing, no matter how hard the car was, it would not move.The car was broken for a while, sweating profusely, and he scolded his followers, "You idiots, don't come to help!" Shu Yinxin said that he could fight against three or five people, but these dozen or so people pushed him and he couldn't let go. to the water.He bent down and grabbed the collar of Che Yan's back neck, and lifted it upwards, and Che Yan was lifted up to stand on the railing with him.Shu Yin said, "If they dare to come up, I will make you fall into the water together." Che Yan waved his hands in front of him and shouted, "You thief, I want to make you look good!" He only ordered his followers to rush up to fight, Shu Yin carried him, and stepped back, only to hear the sound of splashing water, both of them really fell into the water.

The entourage of the chariot jumped into the water in a panic, and for a while there was only the sound of splashing into the water, and the foot of the pavilion was crowded with people.Wu Shuang didn't know how to swim, so she could only look nervously at the railing, because there were so many people in confusion, she didn't see where Shu Yin was after watching for a long time.Not long after, the attendants rescued the car and went ashore, the water calmed down, Wu Shuang looked around the pavilion anxiously, it turned out that there was no one in the water.

Said that Shu Yin pulled the car into the water, knowing that he could not spare himself, took advantage of the time when everyone was in the water, he dived under the pavilion, thinking about waiting for the people to leave before going ashore.Because Che Yan was drenched all over, only a few entourages were left to search, and he went back to the mansion to change his clothes.The few attendants were not in charge of salvage either, they were just getting water in the shoal, they thought Shuyin had sunk to the bottom and drowned, so they left to return to their orders.But Wushuang ran back and forth in a hurry, Shu Yin hid under the pavilion, hearing her call her name on the bank, she couldn't bear it again.After finally waiting for her to go, Shu Yin was able to escape.
