Chapter 143: Plum City
Everyone was gradually moving away. A few days ago, they were looking up at Tianhuoguan, which looked like a mountain. At this moment, they were already far behind. When they looked back at each other, there was only a faint afterimage among the clouds.
The autumn wind blows, the leaves fall and flowing. The more you walk towards the cold leaves valley, the more you become, the color around you becomes more and more deserted. When you reach the surrounding plum city, even the withered and yellow maple forest is like the ending rhyme of a poor ink brush, I don’t know where it is.
Shi quietly disappeared from his sight without a trace.
Meicheng is the last strong city in front of Hanye Valley. Although this city is located in the far north, it has a beautiful name. However, if you explore the past, this winter wintersweet blooms red in the city.
However, it is an indispensable link in the northern border defense line. Since the ancestors of the Liwang family received the orders of Emperor Wu and led their troops to seize the northern border, their palace has been in the plum city on the front line of the northern border for a hundred years.
Although the name of the official king has been passed down for generations, the iron-blooded and strong wind has never been missing due to the arrival of the prosperous age. When Xiahou Yong's generation was in charge for decades, Beihuan did not dare to invade, so he turned to the west.
Invasion of Lulong Pass.
Mo Zhi walked forward on the horse. After swallowing the orange pill in his stomach a few days ago, his breath has gradually recovered in the past few days. He no longer has to lie in the carriage to watch the charm along the road. Such a magical effect
Even after taking the pulse, Zong Zhengqing was amazed. He also thought that there must be spiritual elixir stones under the Yuxuan Sect, which can relieve internal breathing injuries.
Mo Zhi led his horse to go, and saw that the walls of Meicheng were towering, but the four walls were all made of white stones. The whole body looked like solid ice, which was very different from the black and slim city walls in the northwest. Zong Zhengqing said: "You once worked in the northwest."
I must have never seen my northern border defense city. This white rock is completely taken from the Hanye Valley, called "Hanxin Stone". Even if it is in my Hanye Valley, it must go deep into the valley.
What is unavailable is that this cold heart stone coexists with the thousand-year-old cold ice. After being beaten and tempered by wind and frost, it has long been integrated. There are no more solid stones in the world than this. Only a few important border guards in the north can get this cold heart stone to build a city wall.
It is to guard against the Northern Huan Tatars crossing the border and attacking."
Mo Zhixiao said, "Hanye Valley has been in border control for a hundred years. I have heard of it when I was in Jiangnan and I am always grateful. It is also a blessing in my life to be able to come here to observe this person in person."
Zong Zhengqing said: "If you hadn't helped you in the Anyun Village, Elder Jian and the junior sister would have been controlled by Yu Xiangwan's mysterious trick. Even if I were not for my help, I would not know how long I could last.
, You are my benefactor of Han Yegu, and I am an old acquaintance with Mu Chuan. You and I don’t have to be too reserved.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Meng Xueqing who was following behind him, and whispered mysteriously: "What's more, who knows whether he will kiss you in the future? You're right?"
Mo Zhi was stunned for a moment and then glanced at Meng Xueqing. The two of them met accidentally. Meng Xueqing smiled slightly, which was really a clever smile, with beautiful eyes flowing. The girl's youth has an indescribable Tsinghua vulgarity.
Zhifeng, Mo Zhi asked: "Uncle Zong, what do you mean..."
Zong Zhengqing nodded and smiled, "That's right, it's what you think."
Mo Zhi also smiled and said, "So that's it. Sister Xueqing fell in love with which disciple of my Yuxuan Sect. Is it better to get married in two sects, and let's get married!"
After hearing his remarks, Zong Zhengqing sighed helplessly and said, "If you want to say this... it's not wrong. Hey hey, junior sister!"
Before he finished speaking, Meng Xueqing had already hit the horse forward. She grabbed Zong Zhengqing's ear with a slender hand and said coldly: "Senior Brother is so unloved, and he is talking about me again!"
Mo Zhi looked at Meng Xueqing's eyes and smiled and angry, shy and angry, which was somewhat similar to Ye Xiaoluan, who had a strange temper in the bamboo forest back then. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Xueqing doesn't want to talk about it."
We will not talk about this matter, but we are rushing towards Hanye Valley at this moment, or will we go to Meicheng first for a while?"
Meng Xueqing smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother has promised me that when I return to the northern border, I need to go to Meicheng and eat hibiscus meat and plum cheese."
Zong Zhengqing looked at the junior sister in front of him and knew that it would be fine if she was not in the northern border. The closer she was to home, the more her temper was gradually revealed. Not to mention that she was herself, even the sword in the valley was
Which elders Leng Can can do anything to her? He looked at Mo Zhi's face and asked, "How does Young Master Mo feel now?"
Mo Zhi smiled and said, "It's true. Since these two dishes were met, I heard from Xueqing's sister that since they are destined to be here, how can we not taste them?"
Zong Zhengqing sighed, "Everyone is pampering my junior sister. Since that's the case, we will go to the city and have a good meal, which is also a comfort to the hard work of the journey."
Meng Xueqing heard a cheer, and the silver bell-like laughter was heard by the yellow horse under Mo Zhi's crotch. She seemed to be happy. She cooperated with the horse's neighing several times, and her front hooves couldn't be raised.
Full of energy.
The autumn in Meicheng, northern border, is very short. In just over a dozen days, the autumn scenery outside the city faded away quickly. At this moment, the temperature in the city was only warm at noon. Several people entered the city with the sunshine, and Mo Zhizhong Huanshan to the northwest
, To the north now, there are not many cities seen, but when it comes to the differences between the plum city, it is unprecedented. From the outside, although the city walls look like white walls, they are inevitably outdated over time.
But when I entered the city, I walked through the gate of the city, and suddenly there was a dazzling light, and the prosperous scenery of Meicheng was in front of me.
The sky is full of clouds and the autumn light is written, and the leaves are half green and yellow.
In the Meicheng City, when you look at it, the red gold is dazzling, and the autumn scenery is everywhere, it is very different from the bleak scenery outside the city. The streets and alleys are wide, and the Fontaine sways, dyeing the clouds red for a long time. Although it is inside and outside the city, the scenery is very different and straight.
Two heavens and earths, Mo Zhi has not seen this prosperous scenery for a long time, and it is soft and red. He can't help but watch everywhere. The people here have all changed into long fur coats. Vendors on both sides of the streets and alleys are selling along the streets, and unknown steamed food is spreading.
It has the snow-white steam and fragrant smell.
Meng Xueqing smiled slightly, ran to an old lady's stall, smiled sweetly, and said, "Grandma Sun, I want two taro flour dumplings."
The old woman looked at her 60s, with white hair, but strong body, and kind-hearted eyes. Seeing Meng Xueqing running over, she quickly smiled and said, "Meng's girl is here. She finally came back this time. My mother-in-law's taro powder dumpling has just come out.
The pot, I will give you two to taste the taste."
Then he lifted the huge cage in front of him, and the white steam suddenly swelled up in the air like a dome. A slightly wet fragrance filled the entire street and alley. Mo Zhi smelled the index finger and endured it.
He couldn't stop walking forward, but saw plump and round white steamed substances squeezing in the trunk.
Meng Xueqing smiled and said, "It's not easy for Grandma Sun to do business. I can't take your money for nothing. This is the money from two taro flour dumplings. You have collected it. If you don't, Dad won't teach me how to come in the future."
Seeing her say this, the old lady smiled and nodded, chose the two largest dumplings in the middle, wrapped them with oil paper and handed them in her hand.
Meng Xueqing looked excited and blew the heat in her mouth. She poured the two dumplings back and forth in her hand. She ran to Mo Zhi and handed one of them to Mo Zhi, saying, "Brother Mo, try it. This is the taro flour dumpling from Meicheng, which is very delicious!"
Mo Zhi took it in his hand. The dumpling was just out of the pot. It was just when it was hot. It looked loose and soft, and it looked a bit like a steamed bun, but it felt quite weighty when it was held in his hand. He smiled and said, "It's hard for Sister Xueqing. This dumpling is very hot, so don't burn your hands."
Meng Xueqing said: "The taro flour dumplings are just to eat freshly steamed hot, and it will be bad if they stay cold!"
Mo Zhi nodded and bit them together. Meng Xueqing was naturally overwhelmed and exclaimed that she was satisfied. But Mo Zhi was even more surprised when he ate it for the first time and said, "There is such a delicious food in the world!"
Meng Xueqing smiled and said, "Is it delicious? It looks soft, but it's actually quite competitive! This is the taro flour dumpling from Grandma Sun's house, but it's the best in the world. Take a big sweet taro and grind it into powder, mix it with rice flour to make it into skin, then use the tenderest leg meat of the pheasant to fry the skin with sesame oil to make the skin clean, and then add umami flavor with various mushrooms in the north to make the autumn oil roll, and then make the filling. In other places, there is no such blessing!"
Mo Zhi nodded and looked at the taro flour dumpling in his hand. He saw that there were indeed some unique veins of taro on the snow-white dough. The filling inside was chopped delicately and almost like meat powder. However, the mushrooms in the middle provided different crispy and tender chewy tips. After taking only one bite, he felt very satisfied in his heart.
Zong Zhengqing looked at the two of them swallowing heavily, and couldn't help but clatter a few times, saying, "Junior sister is really considerate. I only bought two dumplings. Is her senior brother not hungry?"
Meng Xueqing glared at Zong Zhengqing and smiled and said, "You don't think I know. You never like to eat some dumplings first to block your way. When you meet hibiscus meat later, you are faster than setting off your chopsticks!"
Upon hearing this, Zong Zhengqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "What a sharp mouth, let's see who dares to marry you in the future!"
Meng Xueqing smiled slightly and said, "I don't care about the future. Now, it's the most important thing in Tianzi as long as I eat what I like to eat first. Brother Mo's injuries also need to eat some good things to supplement my physical strength, right? "
Her eyes were as clear as a spring, and she glanced over sideways. Mo Zhi looked at her with a bright and striking appearance. She was really more beautiful as she looked at her. She didn't want to look away. She just smiled indifferently and said, "This is natural. You just eat something to continue to cure your injuries, right?"
Meng Xueqing smiled sweetly and held Mo Zhi's arm. The two of them ran towards a restaurant in the distance. The yellow horse behind him saw Mo Zhi running far away. Chao Zong Zhengqing sniffed angrily, and his snot almost splashed on Zong Zhengqing, as if he was very unhappy with Mo Zhi running far away.
"Even a horse dares to greet me, it's really good that I'll provoke whom I'll provoke..." Zong Zhengqing looked helpless, held the reins, and trotted and followed.
