Chapter 283: A Cave in the Mountain
Su Jixiang could only roll his eyes at Wei Ling.
"How many people came out of the Duke's Mansion in Dongdu?" Su Jixiang saw that there were quite a few people gathered at the door just now, so he followed Wei Ling inside and asked curiously.
"When the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was in trouble, my mother dismissed the old people there immediately." Wei Ling said, "Many people were grateful for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion's kindness and never left. Later, when my mother and her friends were exiled, some of them followed them secretly. This is one of the reasons why they were able to reach the vicinity of Mangcheng under such difficult conditions. Someone secretly arranged it for them."
"Oh. So these people can be absolutely trusted?" Su Jixiang asked.
"Indeed, otherwise I wouldn't have placed them all here." Wei Ling said. "Don't worry, they will really treat you as their mistress."
"I definitely won't worry about that." Su Jixiang said with a smile.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see those treasures you mentioned!" Wei Ling pulled Su Jixiang towards the backyard of Beiyuan.
"This Beiyuan is so big!" You don't know until you walk there. Once you walk there, Su Jixiang can't help but exclaim in admiration.
Although the construction here is not so exquisite, you can see that the houses have been carefully maintained and are very clean and comfortable.
"They usually live in the front yard here, and the back yard is where we live." Wei Ling said with a smile. "After passing the moon gate in front, you will reach the back yard."
Sure enough, after passing through the moon gate, the scenery in front of you is different again. There are more pavilions and towers, as well as some artificially arranged scenery.
"Parts of this place are the same as where I lived in Dongdu." Wei Ling pulled Su Jixiang to the door to look inside. He smiled and said, "They are also thoughtful. They built this place in the style of my Mo Han Xuan. The only difference is that the pool in Mo Han Xuan in Dongdu is stagnant water, while the water here is hot spring water from the mountain."
"Is this hot spring water?" Su Jixiang walked over curiously and bent down to smell it. "Why can't I smell sulfur?"
"It really has no smell." Wei Ling smiled, "There is a spring on the back mountain. The temperature there is very high, and the water there does smell like rotten eggs. But I don't know why, when it flows to the middle of the mountain, the smell is gone. And the water temperature is not that hot, so it's just right if you need to take a bath, so I built a big bath here. It's right in front."
He walked over, took Su Jixiang's hand, and smiled at her, "I'll take you to see it!"
Su Jixiang was led by Wei Ling to an octagonal building in front. Sure enough, there was a circular pool inside the octagonal building, and the surrounding area was made of smooth white marble.
Su Jixiang squatted beside the pool and reached in to test the temperature. It was just as Wei Ling said, a little hot, but felt very good to the touch.
"The water temperature is just right!" She looked up and saw Wei Ling taking off his clothes. She stood up immediately and said, "You, you, you! What are you doing?"
"Now that I'm here, of course I have to wash off the dust from the journey." Wei Ling looked up at Su Jixiang. His movements were extremely fast. In just a short while, he had taken off all his clothes except for his underwear.
"Oh, then you wash it!" Su Jixiang made a gesture of invitation and wanted to run out.
She only felt a figure flash before her eyes, and then her waist was held by a strong arm!
"Madam, why are you running? Madam, aren't you tired after coming all the way here? Don't you want to take a shower?" Wei Ling looked into Su Jixiang's eyes and said slowly.
His voice was low and seductive, and his breath brushed against Su Jixiang's ears gently, making Su Jixiang want to avoid him...
"You wash first!" Su Jixiang said stubbornly.
"Let's take a shower together!" After saying that, Wei Ling didn't care whether Su Jixiang agreed or not, and directly carried her into the water, causing a splash of water...
An hour later, Wei Ling asked Guihua, who was waiting outside, to fetch Su Jixiang and his clothes.
After hesitating for another half an hour, Wei Ling finally carried the blushing Su Jixiang out of the octagonal building.
Guihua followed behind the two people, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
"General, I have already prepared the charcoal basin in the room. It is very warm in the room, don't let Madam catch a cold." Guihua reminded.
"Got it. It's getting late, so ask them to prepare dinner. We won't go out, so just send it to us." Wei Ling ordered.
After he carried Su Jixiang into the house, Su Jixiang pinched Wei Ling and said, "Stop messing around!"
"I know, I know!" Wei Ling laughed, put Su Jixiang down, and then took a dry cloth to wipe her wet hair bit by bit.
"Madam, there are not many things in my life that are worth being happy about, but when you said you were willing to stay by my side, I was very happy." Wei Ling smiled and said, "You are the best gift God has given me!"
"Men's words are lies!" Su Jixiang rolled his eyes at Wei Ling.
Wei Ling did not argue, but leaned over and kissed Su Jixiang on the cheek.
Her eyebrows, her skin, even her breath and eyes, made him feel extremely fond of and at ease.
The next day, Su Jixiang slept until she woke up naturally. When she got up and walked into the yard, Wei Ling had already started practicing sword in the yard.
Under the bright spring sunshine, the young man's body is extremely tall and straight. Although he cannot use his internal strength for the time being, each of his moves carries the power of a tiger's roar and a dragon's roar. His sword skills are as smooth as flowing clouds and water, and the beauty of strength and flexibility is well combined when his body moves.
Wherever the sword passed, it stirred up the two peach trees in full bloom in the corner, and the petals fell down in a dreamlike manner.
Su Jixiang stood with his hands behind his back, watching Wei Ling finish his swordsmanship practice, and then walked over. "Didn't you say you would take me to see the treasures? Where are the treasures?"
"I'll take you there after breakfast!" Wei Ling wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile.
After breakfast, Wei Ling took Su Jixiang to the innermost part of Mo Hanxuan, where there was a row of rockery against the wall.
Wei Ling turned an inconspicuous rockery stone, and a passage appeared in front of him.
Su Jixiang was taken in by Wei Ling.
There is a cave inside.
"Is this the cave you dug?" Su Jixiang asked in surprise.
"It's not a special cave. This cave has always existed. It's just that an extra exit was made when Beiyuan was built." Wei Ling smiled and said, "This cave has another exit. It is very hidden. If no one points it out, it can't be seen at all. We can go directly to the mountain through this cave."
