At the foot of Qingyun Mountain.
A carriage drove slowly from the direction of Kaifeng and stopped in front of the camp on the edge of the official road.
Li Gefei got out of the carriage with the help of Laifu, and looked at the imperial army camps stretching for dozens of miles in front of him. He revisited his old place and was filled with emotions in his heart.
"Alas! An army of thirty thousand! They are so vulnerable!" Li Gefei sighed sadly.
Laifu comforted him and said, "Master, I have great magical powers. I have a realm and magical powers that have transcended worldly knowledge."
"Not to mention the 30,000-strong army of the Song Dynasty, even if all the armies of all countries in the world were put together, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a single blow! How can a human being fight with the gods?"
Li Gefei was silent for a moment, but then he suddenly turned around and snorted at Laifu, "Huh! What the hell, I, Li Gefei, am an innocent man, and I don't have a daughter or son-in-law who is a bandit!"
It can be seen that the master is still angry about the young lady leaving without saying goodbye and her marrying her uncle without asking.
Laifu chuckled and said, "Master, doesn't the court have a decree to grant marriage? Besides, we are here to visit the young lady and uncle. We are all a family. Harmony is the most important thing, so don't be angry anymore!"
After hearing De Laifu's words, Li Gefei's expression gradually softened.
His eyes fell on Qingyun Mountain, and he sighed quietly, "Alas! It's only my fault that I dote on that girl too much, but our family ended up like this."
Laifu said: "Master, it was Emperor Song who was unjust first, you did nothing wrong!"
"Huh!" Li Gefei let out a long sigh of relief.
He shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "How can there be a bad king and father? It's because the ministers have too little room for advice!"
"But Master, you are no longer a minister!"
"yes!"
Li Gefei's eyes looked a little lonely, and he said in a daze: "I wonder how Duke Fan's new policy is going in the court?"
Seeing Laifu, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Li Gefei smiled slightly, "I'm just feeling emotional. After seeing that rebellious girl this time, you and I will go back to Qizhou to have a look!"
Lai Fu said happily: "Yes! Master! I have long wanted to go back and try the bowl of wontons on the street in front of my door!"
"Yes, I miss that smell very much too! This time I leave the court, and take advantage of the remaining time to take a good look at the mountains and rivers in various places!"
Li Gefei also showed a look of yearning.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go up the mountain!"
"Master, it's already noon, why don't we have something to eat before going up the mountain?" Laifu asked doubtfully.
"Humph!" Li Gefei raised his head and snorted coldly.
"That brat took my daughter by force. Now that I'm here at his house, isn't it possible that he's not even going to give me a meal?"
"Oh? Hahaha, that's what the master said!" Laifu laughed loudly upon hearing this.
"Hahaha!" Li Gefei also stroked his beard and chuckled.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached the camp at the foot of the mountain, they were immediately spotted by patrolling troops.
After being surrounded, Li Gefei first told him that he was the father of Li Qingzhao, the wife of Qingyun Villa, but no one in the group had heard of the name Li Qingzhao and no one believed him.
Seeing that the master and servant were about to be tied up, Li Gefei had no choice but to take out the imperial edict and tell the minions that he was the one who came to announce the edict.
Perhaps the contemporary people have a natural reverence for the imperial edict. After Li Gefei took out the imperial edict, the minions were obviously not as offensive as before.
So, a squad leader led a team of people to escort Li Gefei and the others up the mountain.
It is said to be an escort, but in fact it is similar to an escort, except that there is no rope.
I don't know whether it was because Li Gefei said that he was the father-in-law of the village owner, or because he was a person sent by the imperial court to deliver the order.
Seeing that Li Gefei was so weak, the team leader thoughtfully arranged a pair of slide poles to carry him up the mountain.
Along the way, we looked at the steep mountains and forests of Qingyun Mountain, as well as the places undergoing construction and renovation everywhere.
Li Gefei praised: "What a paradise! After such management, even one hundred thousand people can accommodate it."
"Hehe, this adult is right!" the team leader replied cheerfully.
"Where is your village owner now? Please take me to him first!" Li Gefei said with a smile.
"The owner of the village is afraid that only the captain knows where it is. Later, I can take the adults to find our captain! Let him lead the way for you."
"I see, then you'll have some work!" Li Gefei smiled and cupped his hands.
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it!" The team leader clasped his fists repeatedly.
Laifu followed Li Gefei from beginning to end and didn't say much.
The team leader led a group of people to the construction site of Qingyun Villa.
After climbing over a mountain ridge, Li Gefei suddenly felt his eyes open.
As soon as you see it, a towering green mountain reaches into the sky, which is Qingyun Mountain.
There are many people walking up and down Qingyun Mountain, including people and livestock coming and going in an endless stream.
Around Qingyun Mountain, several shorter peaks guard the main peak of Qingyun Mountain, and the preliminary plan can be clearly seen on each mountain.
On every mountain, there are countless people in uniforms of officers and soldiers working back and forth. From here on, the mountainside is filled with piles of masonry, stone and timber.
The frame of the building has basically been set up. With the cooperation of tens of thousands of people, it can be completed in half a month at most!
It is conceivable that once such a huge project is completed, it will be so majestic and majestic that it will compete with heaven and earth!
"Such a spectacular project is really breathtaking!" Li Gefei couldn't help but praise.
If the timing hadn't been right, he would have really wanted to recite a poem on the spot!
The squad leader nodded and pointed at the captive officers and soldiers working in the west, and said with a smile: "Thanks to these captive soldiers, otherwise it would have taken us half a year to build it."
Li Gefei's face froze, and he laughed "haha" twice, not knowing what to say!
Suddenly, a group of people heard shouts and curses.
"What a fool! How dare you be lazy?!"
"You talk nonsense all the time! I came here to do your job, not to be a boss and train you on this!"
A rugged man in green clothes held a long and scary whip in his hand, and was whipping an officer in armor fiercely.
It was obviously not the first time that the officer's armor had been beaten. As the man's whip hit the officer again and again, the scales on the armor fell apart.
The people coming and going around him all seemed not to be surprised.
"This is our head Liu, Liu Rong, who is responsible for construction site management," the squad leader introduced Li Gefei.
"Who is he? Why did he criticize the captured officer so harshly?" Li Gefei asked reluctantly.
"Liu Tou was the leader among the first batch of captured officers and soldiers. It is said that he was promoted because of his good performance..."
Before the team leader could finish speaking, Li Gefei couldn't help but speak out.
"stop!"
Liu Rong, who was holding a long whip and was about to hit him again, suddenly heard someone shouting to stop. He paused in his hand and looked sideways at the person who made the sound.
Seeing that he was a middle-aged scribe, Liu Rong asked the team leader next to him: "Who is he?"
Li Gefei looked startled.
The team leader who was waiting for him hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Liu Tou, this is the imperial court who sent us to Qingyun Mountain to convey the decree."
Seeing Liu Rong's disdainful look, the team leader leaned close to him and whispered in his ear: "I heard he is the father-in-law of our village owner!"
"The owner's father-in-law? Real or fake?" Liu Rong looked at the team leader in shock, his mouth wide open in shock.
"I came here specifically to see the village owner. He doesn't want to live anymore about this matter. How dare he talk nonsense?"
