    Although King Yelang was bestowed by Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, he managed the Yelang Kingdom according to his own wishes.  And because he was good at fighting and brave, the territory of Yelang Kingdom was expanded to Hunan and Sichuan.

    ?The southwest is remote, the sky is not sunny for three days, the land is not three miles flat, and people are not three cents silver.  Since ancient times, it has been difficult to communicate with the outside world.  There are many wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and there are more barbarians, and they live exclusively on robbery along the border of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.  King Yelang personally led his troops to suppress the bandits, and led everyone to build mountain roads, connecting the hills and the stone villages.  They call the road bends "turns". The winding mountain road with the most turns has 24 turns from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. That is the famous "Twenty-Four Turns" in Guizhou.

    King Yelang traveled all over the southwest, and his orders spread in all directions.

    He taught the mountain people to open up the land on the mountain, surrounded it with stones, and then drew water from the lake to form terraces. Snow-white rice was planted on the plateau.  He wants his people's women to have more children and be good at weaving, and the men to work hard and practice martial arts.

    In the past, it was not bad for the southwest border to pay tribute to the imperial dynasty with 20 horses every year.  After the king of Yelang was crowned, more than a hundred horses were paid as tribute every year. There were also many special products of Yelang - mules. They were taller and more magnificent than horses, and their temperament was gentler than horses.  After traveling thousands of miles to the imperial capital, his fur is still bright and full of energy, and he looks like a good traveler with heavy loads. The emperor really likes it very much.  It can be seen that Yelang has become more and more prosperous year by year.  I also heard that Yelang Wang Guang won the hearts of the people, and the people in Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu all respected him.  It seems that the emperor is no longer in his eyes.  Even though it was a remote and barbaric land, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty occasionally thought of it and felt a little worried.

    Emperor Wu sent an imperial envoy to check.  The imperial envoys came to the area under the jurisdiction of Yelang. On the way, they saw the mountains and sheep leisurely. The soldiers of King Yelang used charcoal portraits of barbarians to practice archery on the side of the road. They went back and reported to the emperor that Yelang people shot and killed Han.  The portrait shows the rebellious heart.

    Therefore, Emperor Wu ordered the army to trap King Yelang and destroy Yelang Kingdom.

    Overnight, in order to avoid the disaster, the Yelang royal family changed their surnames from Jin to Wang, scattered all over the southwest, and bravely and tenaciously fought guerrilla warfare against Emperor Wu's army ever since.

    The war lasted for more than ten years, and the people of Yelang Kingdom were devastated.

    Since then, the descendants of King Yelang have two clans of gold and king.  The descendants follow the admonitions of their ancestors, one is to work hard, and the other is to reproduce hard, and men and women are married at the age of eighteen.

    Aha's father, Jin Ding, is the twenty-first grandson of King Yelang.  He learned history and scriptures from Bumo since he was a child, and he knew astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom.  He is the most heroic hunter in Buyi. When he hunts in the mountains, even wild animals will tremble; when his feet stamp on the plateau, the furthest and farthest forests will tremble.  He is also the best singer in Buyi. Whenever his singing voice wafts through the mountains, the fragrant pine nuts will burst out from the fruit holder and fall on the soft pine needles one after another, and the ferocious female leopard in the dense forest will also appear.  Lying softly on the hill for a long time.

    Aha's mother, Ling Li, is from Xiangbao Mountain in Yunnan and Guizhou. Her family owns the oldest and most prestigious Xiangbao Restaurant in Yunnan and Guizhou.  Fifteen years after Lingli's mother gave birth to Lingli, she gave birth to her youngest son, An, but An was timid and dull by nature.

    Eighteen years ago, at the Buyi Chabai Song Festival on June 21 of the lunar calendar, Ling Li was moved by the young and handsome Jin Ding and his singing.  Lingli immediately hung a sachet embroidered by herself on his flower belt.

    Jin Ding also fell in love at first sight with this Han girl from Yunnan-Guizhou Prime Minister Baoshan.  Since ancient times, the golden bird that has sung can only be found in the forest of Buyi, but this pretty girl's song is more watery than Ahha's, and her voice is waxier and sweeter than sweet-scented osmanthus honey.

    That night, the two returned to Xiangbao Mountain on a white horse.

    When Ling Li's parents heard that this dark young man was Buyi from the mountains, they were so angry that they ordered his horse to be slaughtered, and they even detained him under the pretext of robbery.

    The white horse in the yard knew everything, neighing and kicking hooves immediately, calling for its master.  Hearing the neighing of the white horse, Jin Ding ran out desperately and jumped on the horse's back. The white horse kicked open the gate of the mansion, and carried Jin Ding on his back, galloped down Xiangbao Mountain, rushed to Huaxi Avenue, and returned to Jinzhu Dazhai within an hour.

    After Lingli was placed under house arrest by her parents for half a month, she was going to marry her to Chengdu.

    Chengdu is the hometown of Lingli's mother. Although there is a lot of witchcraft and ghosts there, it is rich in beauties, most of whom are beauties with big foreheads like Liu Xiaoqing.

    Lingli's mother is the one who can laugh the most among countless beauties.

    Lingli's father is a fan of Sichuan opera, and every year he goes to the temple fair in Chengdu to listen to Sichuan opera.  Listening to Sichuan opera in a teahouse, the audience drinks eight-treasure tea, eats melon seeds, and serves some local snacks. They enjoy listening to the voices and changing faces. He likes to listen to "Li Huiniang" the most.

    "The gate of the temple opens on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and there are lines on both sides of the bull's head and horse face"He led the horse and wandered around under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Although the twilight had already diffused in the forest, the sadness on his face was still clearly reflected in her eyes.

    For many days, Jin Ding came here every day to reminisce about his short-term love with the Han girl, but today when he was about to tie his horse, he found a sachet on a tree.  Surprised and delighted, he sang loudly, calling out to his sweetheart:

    The emerald green bird flies without a trace in the sky,

    The person in my heart has never heard from her again.

    Every night I think she can't sleep,

    The moon has set and the stars are sparse.

    Her name is Ling Li,

    Like the sweetness of white flowers.

    Ling Li, do you have the wings of a bird?

    Could it be that I met you in a dream?

    All the flowers in the flower house of golden bamboo are about to open,

    You are the most beautiful flower¡ª¡ª

    You are my queen without a crown.

    Before the singing stopped, Li Li really fell from the sky like a bird, and fell into his arms with tears on his face.

    It was August when sweet-scented osmanthus was everywhere, and Jin Ding and her rode a white horse from the Huaxi Bridge back to Jinzhu Dazhai.  The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus along the way of more than ten kilometers, she was drunk by the fragrance of this flower, and she was weak and weak. She was warmed by Jin Ding in her arms, and she could only hear the happy clattering of horseshoes and the chirping of returning birds in the forest.

    After that, she never went back to Yungui City or Xiangbao Mountain.

    Although there have been intermarriages between Buyi people and Han people since ancient times, Ling Li was the first Han in Dazhai.  She is at ease and satisfied, and she is with Jin Ding all day long, the sweetness in her heart is like the sunset glow in the sky that day.  Jin Ding's bow and arrow have been idle for too long, and he has not been seen in the meetings of the elders. He is fascinated by the beauties of the Han family.  The girl of the Han family looked very seductive. Standing among the Bouyei women who had been working for many years in the sun and rain, her skin was thick and dark. She was as bright as a flower petal, soft and fair.  Jin Ding was indulging in the gentle village, and Bumo and the elders were worried that the dissatisfaction of the gods would bring disaster to Dazhai, so they discussed to expel Ling Li.  Jin Ding took a sharp arrow and walked up to the altar, broke it in two, and swore that as long as Ling Li left, he would never look back. Since then, when he left Jinzhu Dazhai, the elders were terrified and gave up.

    Lingli is actually very virtuous, like a bird loving her husband.  She wrote on the bluestone slabs in the village and taught the children about Han culture.  During the slack season, the men and women in the village also learn to read and count from her.  Soon, the children she taught could go to the Han Chinese schools in the town.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
