Chapter 154 Falling Flower Peak Bottom ([-])

Huo Yanzhi, "..."

Ah Yu was finally shy for a while, but was disturbed by a few drops of water!
Huo Yanzhi shook off the water splashed on his clothes, "The paddle fell off".

Hua Ping was silent, and asked carefully, "Then, do you have a second oar?"

Huo Yanzhi is silent, next time I must remember to ask them to prepare more oars on the boat!
Hua Pingle, "..."

Very well, every time she felt that her brother Fu had grown up, he would definitely do tricks, so that she would know that he hadn't grown up yet, and was still a doll who couldn't hold anything steady!
Huo Yanzhi took out the flying claws from his sleeve, flung them out vigorously, hooked them to the wall of the cave in the distance, and continued to move forward with the copper boat.

Hua Pingle, "..."

Inexplicably, I wanted to laugh a little.

This section of the waterway was about two miles long, and at the end, a huge cave appeared in front of them.

The top of the cave is like the top of a river, and it is decorated with interesting gems and pearls.

Bright silver bricks are paved all the way forward, and long lights are scattered on the surrounding stone walls, illuminating the inside of the cave.

Stalactites of different shapes and colors grow in the cave, against the shadow of pearly candles, like a fairyland.

Hua Pingle couldn't help sighing, "The first emperor must have been a very elegant person."

Huo Yanzhi reminded lightly, "This must have been carefully designed by someone who is proficient in this way, and the father is at most making some requests from the sidelines."

Hua Pingle, "..."

So, you have to compete with your father?
Huapingle walks along the silver steps. The stones of various shapes in the natural caves are carved or embellished by skillful craftsmen.

The two walked for about a quarter of an hour, and the cave gradually narrowed, turning into a narrow passage again.

At the end of the corridor, Huo Yanzhi somehow opened a stone door.

The watery moonlight flows in like a pool of autumn water, which brightens people's eyes and refreshes their spirits.

Hua Pingle followed Huo Yanzhi out of the stone gate. Outside the stone gate, under the moonlight, the dark crowd was waiting respectfully. When they saw them, they bent down and saluted, "I have seen the prince, I have seen the princess".

Hua Pingle, "..."

Who made them call it that?

Huo Yanzhi didn't mean to correct them at all, he waved his hand away from them, and stood aside, letting Hua Pingle fully show in front of everyone, "It's inconvenient for me to go out of Beijing, and all affairs here will be handled by the princess in the future."

There was no voice of doubt, and everyone knelt down on one knee in unison, "Yes, I will obey the order of the princess."

"Follow the order of the princess—"

Hua Pingle's eyes are hot, different from those in the Palace of Mercy Ning, or when the servants in Huafu obey orders, most of these dead soldiers possess extraordinary abilities!
They are either the arms left by the former emperor to Huo Yanzhi, or they are strangers recruited by Huo Yanzhi himself.

They will all be a powerful force for her to avenge her father's and mother's blood!

Hua Pingle tried his best to control the tumbling emotions, and said in a gentle voice, "You don't need to be too polite, I am young, and if I don't understand in the future, I still need your advice."

Everyone didn't dare to talk, Huo Yanzhi pointed to the man standing in the front and said, "This is the leader of the hidden guard of the father.

Because he is good at martial arts and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, the emperor gave him the surname Xiao, and placed him here to take full charge of the affairs of Luohua Mountain, just call me Uncle Xiao."

Huaping Lefu greeted him, "Uncle Xiao".

Uncle Xiao returned the gift in fear, "The lord and concubine have lost their subordinates."

Hua Pingle smiled slightly, "Uncle Xiao, you are welcome. Uncle Xiao has stuck to this place for more than ten years, and he has made great achievements. The prince and I will never forget it."

Huo Yanzhi pointed to the middle-aged man standing next to Uncle Xiao and said, "This is the former leader of the Qingning Camp, surnamed Liang, and he is the second at home."

Hua Ping Le Fu saluted, "I have seen Brother Liang".

Liang Erwei's dark face flushed red, and he waved his hands again and again, "Princess, the princess is broken, broken."

"Brother Liang, you are welcome."

Huo Yanzhi nodded to Liang Er, and then said, "Liang Xiaomi and Yu Shenglan come out."

Two young men, a man and a woman, came out and knelt on one knee in front of Huo Yanzhi and Hua Pingle.

Liang Xiaomi and Liang Er are somewhat similar in appearance. At first glance, they are brothers. They are the young dead soldiers who shouted to climb on Fuhu Mountain and wanted to climb to Fuguang Palace to report the news.

Yu Shenglan looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and was a closed disciple brought up by Uncle Xiao.

"From now on, you will follow the princess closely."

"Yes!"

The excitement in the voices of the two young people can be heard.

"Don't be too polite, get up."

The two stood up, and Yu Shenglan barely suppressed her excitement and stood behind Hua Pingle.

Liang Xiaomi, who was a little hesitant at first, immediately followed suit and stood on the other side behind Hua Pingle.

Huo Yanzhi ordered again, "Uncle Xiao and Second Brother Liang will accompany us for a walk, and the rest will leave."

All the people bent down to salute, and quietly scattered all over the valley.

Uncle Xiao and the others led Huo Yanzhi and Hua Pingle to familiarize themselves with the terrain in the valley.

Huo Yanzhi was very talkative, so he didn't bother Uncle Xiao, and talked on and on by himself.

"Jiujiu, the emperor left some people here during his lifetime, and then my uncle gave them away year by year.

There are a total of about 500 people in Luohua Peak, among these 500 people, like Uncle Xiao, there are about [-] people who stay at the bottom of the peak, and the rest are scattered in various industries."

After the age of eight, he was able to save his life in the deep palace.

At the age of 17, he went to Yumen Pass, and he was able to take power smoothly and make meritorious deeds. In addition to Mr. Luo who stood on the bright side, these people who were hiding in the dark also contributed a lot.

"They have high-ranking officials standing in the court, as well as traffickers and pawns. The specific roster is with Uncle Xiao, and it will be handed over to you from today.

In addition, the people from the former Qingning camp, how they should be placed and how they should perform their duties, you will definitely do better than me.”

Hua Pingle nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

Huo Yanzhi nodded, he believed her, "Besides them, most of their family members, as well as the craftsmen who built Luohua Peak and their relatives are also at the bottom of this valley.

Over the years, there have also been intermarriages, which made this valley a rather large village.

18 years ago, because the Huo family changed, they didn't have a key and couldn't leave the valley, so they stayed at the bottom of the valley.

Fortunately, vegetables and grains can be grown here, fish in the pond, animals in the mountains, and birds in the sky are very rich, so you don’t have to worry about food and clothing.”

As Huo Yanzhi spoke, he pointed out to Hua Pingle the houses and fields built in the valley.

Walking through the houses and fields, Hua Pingle saw the hot springs and cold pools that her father had told her about.

The hot air from the hot springs and the cold air from the cold pools neutralize each other, making the vast valley bottom world mild all year round. Near the ground, smog can often be seen, just like a fairyland outside the world.

If there is no blood feud between the Huo family and the Lian family, she will not get tired of living here for the rest of her life!

The empress dowager has similar temperament and hobbies to her, so she must like it very much, the late emperor must have spent countless efforts to find such a place.

"After the father passed away, it was my uncle who took over here.

Later, my uncle never showed up again, and Xiao Shu knew that something happened outside.

After more than ten years of trying and hard work, the channel to the outside world was finally opened, just in time for me to enter the valley for the first time.

That time, I was able to drive back to the foot of Luohuafeng Mountain from other places, which is the valley from this passage.”

Huo Yanzhi pointed out the entrance of the passage to Hua Pingle, and looked at Hua Pingle with soft eyes, "It's almost like this, the specifics, we will take a look at it later.

It's getting late, we have to go back, come back next time."

Hua Pingle nodded, put away the roster given to her by Uncle Xiao, and returned with Huo Yanzhi the same way without mentioning it.

……

……

After Hua Pingle went back, he packed up and went to sleep. As soon as he got up, he heard the report from Anuhui that Huo Yanzhi had been invited by the people of Dali Temple early on.

But it turned out that Cheng Shangshu broke his leg and it would take at least a year to recover, so he was ashamed and resigned.

Emperor Zhenghe might let him recover from his injuries and transfer the case to Dali Temple.

Dali Temple transferred the case, perhaps because they were worried about the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and decided to go through all the procedures again. As the victim, Huo Yanzhi naturally returned to Beijing to assist in the investigation.

Before he left, he left a message to let Hua Pingle take a good rest, and he would come to accompany her whenever he had time.

But she was afraid that she would be in a hurry to sort out the roster and would not eat and sleep properly.

Hua Pingle was amused, and nodded to indicate that he knew it. After eating the court food, he told everyone not to disturb, and concentrated on sorting out the roster without mentioning it.

Although she was in Luohua Mountain, the news from Beijing was still coming in a steady stream.

The generals of the Suzaku camp took advantage of Cheng Shangshu's chance of "retribution", and jointly petitioned the government and the emperor for a thorough investigation. Their admiral Yang would definitely not be the murderer behind the killing of King Fuguang.

With the acquiescence of the generals, a group of prostitutes from the Suzaku Camp, who were suppressed by repression, wandered around outside the Dali Temple all day long. When they saw someone coming out from inside, they asked fiercely about the progress of the investigation of the case.

Dali Temple is full of frail scholars, who would not be afraid to see these people licking blood.

But they didn't do anything against the prohibition, and they couldn't help them at all.

The wind direction in the capital also began to turn to the other side. People gathered in groups, all analyzing the various reasons and reasons why Yang Xian could never be the real culprit behind the scenes.

The discussion was raging, and the trial of Yang Xian's case in Dali Temple was progressing slowly.

At this time, Su Xianyu succeeded in persuading the Fuguang rebels to surrender, and several important generals under Qi Gufeng raised troops to capture Qi Gufeng's second son who succeeded Qi Gufeng, and the news that Qi's mansion was besieged spread to the capital.

The topic of hot discussion among the people in the capital suddenly changed from Fuguang Wang Yu's interception to Su Xianyu's successful persuasion, and the content of storytellers in various restaurants and teahouses was also replaced by Su Xianyu's great achievements.

Amidst the joy and encouragement, Dali Temple finally found out the truth——

Yang Xian sold the batch of crossbows at a high price, but the batch of crossbows fell into the hands of the Fuguang rebels.

Yang Xian was sentenced to exile on charges of dereliction of duty and corruption. At the same time, Yang Xian's son and nephew who worked in Zhuqueying were sentenced to exile, and the Yang family confiscated them.

……

……

On the day the Yang family ransacked the house, Hua Pingle made a special trip back to the capital to watch the fun with Hua Pingan, Meng Jiang and a group of friends.

Yang Xian was just dereliction of duty, not the real culprit who intercepted and killed Huo Yanzhi. Under the halo of Su Xianyu's successful persuasion, the people in the capital were not interested in Yang Xian's sentence.

And the Yang family is obviously different from the Ge family.

On the day when the former commander of Jin Yiwei envoy Gray ransacked his home, he loaded trucks with various items, and the young women and maids who were brought out were all beautiful, and they were absolutely worthy of the name of "corruption" given to Ge Leiqiang by Emperor Zhenghe.

The Yang family's things were only packed in a few cars before they were all gone, which made the onlookers very disappointed.

Yang Xian was born in an ordinary family, and he became the second-rank admiral all the way through Dezheng and Di Zong. He is in charge of the Suzaku Camp. He is most cautious on weekdays and dare not collect money.

Even if he is now charged with corruption, his family has no money left, and he can afford the dinner.

"Hypocrite! Hypocrite! You pretend to be honest and simple on weekdays, and there are only so few things at home!
The money he got from selling crossbows and being greedy must be kept tightly in the box!

Those boxes must be full of banknotes!All are 1000 taels of silver bills! "

This argument was echoed by the surrounding voices, and the few big men in the Suzaku camp who provoked Cheng Xiuyuan were also mixed in the crowd, and they dared not speak out.

The emperor said that their generals were corrupt, and if they dared to refute, that would be disrespectful!
After the belongings were packed away, several servants in coarse cloth and brown clothes were escorted out by Jin Yiwei.

Most of the Yang family have already moved out of the house, and they stayed to do the final cleaning work.

If you ransack the house, you must also steal the house.

After they came out, Jin Yiwei sealed the house.

The white seal landed on the vermilion lacquered gate in the form of a big cross.

This place was originally awarded to Yang Xian by Emperor Zhenghe, but now it is taken back as it is.

It will be used again when Emperor Zhenghe remembers to use this house to reward meritorious ministers.

The liveliness of the Yang family this time was really not as good as that of the Ge family's ransacking of the house. Seeing that Jin Yiwei put up the seal and rode away, the people who watched the excitement dispersed in twos and threes, Hua Pingle and the others went to Mao Mao alley as usual.

After leaving the alley where Yang's mansion is located, I saw one of Huo Yan standing under a Populus euphratica tree at the entrance of the alley, obviously waiting for Hua Pingle.

Hua Pingle was stunned, and ran up a few steps and asked, "How did you get here?"

"Wait for you".

Huo Yanzhi paused, and added a bit aggrieved, "The military adviser said that my identity is inconvenient to watch the fun with you, what's wrong with my identity? Can't I see anyone?"

Hua Pingle, "..."

It's not that you can't see people, the main thing is that other first-rank princes and first-rank generals probably don't like to watch the excitement, so it seems a little inconvenient for you who like to watch.

"Going for a horse race?"

"OK".

Hua Pingle turned around and waved to the crowd behind him, "My lord invited us to go horse racing, will we go?"

Huo Yanzhi, "..."

He just invited her, not "us".

A group of playboys were still blinded by Huo Yanzhi's halo, who wouldn't want to, surrounded them with a whoosh, and asked where to go for a horse race.

Meng Shi ran a little slower, and anxiously called Meng Jiang to wait for her.

Cheng Xiuyuan, who was left on the spot, looked particularly eye-catching against the crowd who came running over by hula.

Hua Pingle saw it at a glance, pushed aside the encirclement, walked up to Cheng Xiuyuan and asked, "Master Cheng, what's wrong?"

Cheng Xiuyuan leaned over and raised his hands, "Grandfather was recuperating at home, so he said he wanted to help me with my homework. I can't go with you, sorry."

Hua Ping smiled happily, "There's nothing to be sorry about, reading is a serious matter, and serious things matter."

Cheng Xiuyuan raised his hand again, and was about to leave when Hua Ping Le suddenly asked, "I remember that I was in the Imperial College at that time, and I couldn't get used to the previous chapter's way of offering wine, and you were the one who left with Ah Li hanging the crown, I remember correctly, right? ?”

Cheng Xiuyuan nodded, Hua Pingle reached out and patted his shoulder, and smiled brightly, "Then you study hard, you are so good with Ah Li, this year he is the champion, after three years, it will be your turn!"

Cheng Xiuyuan looked at his shoulder that was patted by her, and couldn't help laughing. Miss Huaer is here, encouraging him?

"I won't talk to Brother Meng and the others, so as not to disturb their interest, I will leave."

As Cheng Xiuyuan spoke, he bowed to her again, turned and left.

　The golden mountain and silver mountain left by the former emperor to Xiaohuo, woo woo, jealous~
