Shangguan Mountain City was built on the mountain, the main hall is located on the top of Shenqiu Peak, and other supporting halls were carved layer by layer according to the mountain, until it was built to the foot of the mountain. The gate of Shangguan Mountain City is at the foot of Shenqiu Peak.
Tantaiyu followed Shangguan Jue to the city gate, and saw nine high bluestone steps. The two huge bluestone gateposts on both sides of the topmost step were directly chiseled from the mountain wall. There are auspicious patterns of tailed fox, jade toad, blue bird and Queen Mother of the West. The lintel on the top is built with a whole block of stone, and four large characters of "Shangguan Mountain City" are carved on it.
The gate is heavily guarded, as if guarding against some enemy. But the guard saw that it was the daughter of the city lord who came, so he didn't stop her. Shangguan Jue took Tantai Yu directly into the mountain city. Although the mountain city was built on a mountain, the main road in the city is not narrow enough to allow two carriages to run side by side. On both sides of the road are residential houses and shops, and the shops trade some mountain products, fresh fish, coarse cloth, daily necessities such as daily necessities.
Shangguan Jue took him straight to the main hall on the top of the mountain, which was the residence of the city lord and where Shangguan Jue lived. The main hall is extremely large, Shangguan Ding, the city lord of Shangguan, is discussing matters in the hall at this time, and Shangguan Jue takes him to stand beside the hall. After a while, after the discussion was over, they took him to meet each other.
Tantaiyu didn't know the etiquette in the mountain city, so she bowed according to the etiquette for outside scholars to meet officials. The Lord Shangguan said: "Exemption from courtesy." Tantai Yu raised his eyes and saw that the Lord Shangguan in front of him was very tall, with a white face and a slight beard, and delicate eyebrows. He seemed charitable, but he had a temperament of being in a high position for a long time without anger and prestige.
Shangguan Jue said: "Father, this is what my daughter said about Mr. Tantai."
Shangguan Ding said: "Very good. Mr. Tantai is a guest from afar, you should treat him well. Gu Shang has something to discuss, let's get closer in the future."
Shangguan Jue said quickly, "Daughter resigns."
The two left the hall, and Shangguan Jue sent someone to take him to the residence arranged for him.
¡¡¡¡
As the cold came and the summer came, Tantaiyu lived in the mountain city for nearly half a year. During the period, I heard that someone attacked the mountain city. Fortunately, the mountain city was well guarded and the city walls were strong, so nothing happened.
Tantaiyu and Shangguan Jue were married at this time. It turned out that the parents of Tantai Yu's family died early, and there were only some clan members. At the time of the wedding, the Lord Shangguan invited one of his uncles from the same family to sit in the position of the head of the man's family. After Li Bi asked him to stay in the mountain city for a few days, he asked him to go back and tell the people that Tantaiyu was all right. From then on, Tantaiyu also forgot to avenge the old servant, and lived here with peace of mind.
At this time, the outside is already warm and the flowers are blooming, but the spring in the mountains comes late, and there is still light snow from time to time. On this day, from morning to dusk, there were sporadic and intermittent snowfalls all day long. In the evening, Shangguan Jue came into the room, shook his cloak, looked at Tantaiyu, hesitant to speak.
Tantaiyu was reading a book under the lamp at this time, seeing her coming in, put down the book, took the cloak, hung it on the hanger by the door, and lit the musk of the clothes.
Shangguan Jue watched his movements and remained silent, with a look of weeping on his face. Tantaiyu finally felt that something was wrong, and asked: "A Jue, what's the matter?" He gently hugged her waist, and sat on the bed together, "Are you unhappy?"
"No, it's nothing" Shangguan Jue gently took his arm away, turned around and lay down on the bed with his clothes on.
"What's the matter?" Tantaiyu also lay down next to her sideways.
"It's nothing, don't ask, go to sleep."
Tantaiyu stopped asking, and fell asleep full of questions.
It's just that he didn't sleep well that night. He only heard Shangguan Jue sighing and sighing all night long.
It was like this for several nights in a row.
Tantaiyu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and this night she must be forced to tell what happened.
Seeing that he was angry, Shangguan Jue burst into tears, and then said: "Husband, you have to make the decision for me."
"What's the matter?"
"How can I speak about this?"
"But it's okay to say."
"Your father-in-law, my adoptive father, he, he is not human!"
"Why did you say that?" Tantaiyu asked in shock.
"How is it possible, he is your father!"
"He is not my biological father, he is my uncle."
Tantaiyu asked in surprise: "Your uncle?"
It turned out that Shangguan Ding had no heirs at the age of fifty, and his wife died early. Because of his love for his wife, he refused to remarry. It happened that his younger brother Shangguan Tai gave birth to a pair of twin daughters, and he adopted one of them, Shangguan Jue. It was the elder sister of the twins, and the one left was the younger sister, named Shangguan Yue.
But later, Shangguan Ding and Shangguan Tai brothers turned against each other and competed forAs the city lord, Shangguan Tai lost to Shangguan Ding and was kicked out of the mountain city, so he took Shangguan Yue and left the mountain city without knowing where he ended up.
After hearing her words, Tantaiyu was dubious. But he couldn't take it for her to keep moaning and sighing in his ear. Finally one day, he asked her, "In that case, what do you want me to do?"
"Kill him!" Shangguan Jue gritted his teeth.
"Kill him? After all, he is also your adoptive father!"
"He is not my adoptive father, he is a beast!"
"I wanted to kill him a long time ago, but I am not his opponent alone. I need your help!"
Seeing that Tantaiyu was still hesitant, she said angrily: "Or, you will kill me!"
Tantaiyu didn't speak, and asked after a while: "When will we do it?"
"I will do it in a few days, when I am ready!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
