Chapter 275-280, Forget-Sorrow Villa, Conquering the World
It’s past midnight.
Ouyang Feng was meditating when he was suddenly awakened by a soft and tender touch on his cheek.
The touch is familiar.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiaoqing sitting on his lap, with her hands on his shoulders, washing his face in her own way.
With Ouyang Feng's spiritual cultivation, even if he was in a state of meditation, no one could get so close to him without him noticing.
Unless he wants to.
Therefore, Ouyang Feng raised his hand and held Xiaoqing's flexible waist without any surprise, looked at her pretty face, and asked with a smile:
"Why are you here? Aren't you going to accompany Xiaobai?"
"Xiaobai fell asleep in the hot spring. I settled her down before coming to find you."
Xiao Qing said with a smile: "I said before that I would accompany you for three days and three nights. But ever since Xiao Bai got hurt, I have been with her all the time. Even in that demon world, I stayed with her all day and all night. Now that Xiao Bai is almost out, of course I have to accompany you. Do you like this?"
Ouyang Feng did not say anything, but just lowered his head and held the delicate and lovely cherry-red rose bead in his mouth.
I do not know how long it has been.
Xiaoqing curled up softly in Ouyang Feng's arms, her crystal white soft jade feet gently rubbing his thighs, murmuring:
"Xiao Bai said that you want to mark out a hilltop for us to build a cave. So you want us to move to your temple?"
"Of course." Ouyang Feng gently embraced her soft and tender body and whispered, "Don't you want to go?"
"Of course I want to go! Your place is a blessed place with abundant vitality and spiritual energy. There are also so many natural treasures. Even the goats are more tender and delicious than those in the mortal world. The scenery of the mountains and the sea is also far beyond comparison. Most importantly, living in your place can keep Xiaobai away from this sad place."
"So, we're moving in tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? Sure! Actually, I've already had my eye on a hilltop near Snake Valley. There's a green lake in the valley, which is bigger than the pond in our cave. It's just right for Xiaobai and I to play in the water. The pond is surrounded by flower forests and all kinds of beautiful mountain flowers. It's as beautiful as a fairyland. I'll take Xiaobai there to have a look tomorrow. If she's satisfied, we can open a cave there."
"Okay. Any mountain is fine as long as you like."
"But after we move to your dojo, can we come back later?"
"Of course you can. There is a bronze gate, and you can come and go as you please. If you get bored of staying at my place, you can always come back to this cave and stay for a while. I won't give up this place either, after all, there are still many natural treasures, rare flowers and magical medicines that I don't have here, and I want to collect them. If I'm lucky, maybe I can catch a few monsters that harm living beings."
"That's the best. Xiaobai and I can help you then."
After chatting in low voices for a while, Xiaoqing felt tired again and yawned several times.
Just now in the hot spring pool, although she slept comfortably in Xiaobai's arms for half the night, the fatigue accumulated in three months was far from recovered. She was just a little more energetic. Thinking of the fact that she had not been able to accompany Ouyang Feng well during this period of time, she also missed his ferocity and strength. So after settling Xiaobai down, she quietly came to find him.
After being intimate with him for a long time, she was not only physically tired, but also mentally exhausted. After a few yawns, her eyelids gradually closed, and after mumbling a few words like in a dream, she fell asleep in Ouyang Feng's arms.
Ouyang Feng hugged her light and soft body, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day.
In the stone chamber where Xiaobai and Xiaoqing live.
When Xiaobai woke up, he called out "Xiaoqing" out of habit, but got no response. He raised his hand and looked around, but didn't touch the familiar body.
She started, opened her eyes suddenly, and sat up abruptly. Just as she was about to look around for Xiaoqing, she was startled and remembered something.
Over the past six months, she has become accustomed to Xiaoqing's company day and night.
But in fact, Xiaoqing was supposed to stay with Master Ouyang.
"I am obviously the elder sister, but I have been clinging to Xiaoqing all this time... I am being immature."
Xiaobai felt somewhat guilty and lost.
But he quickly cheered up, got dressed, and went out to prepare breakfast.
I've prepared breakfast, but Xiaoqing hasn't gotten up yet.
Ouyang Feng got up early and even finished a set of boxing practice.
So Xiaobai asked Ouyang Feng to eat first, and she went to wake Xiaoqing up.
When they arrived at the stone room where Ouyang Feng lived, Xiaobai saw Xiaoqing lying naked on the bed, sleeping soundly with her arms around the pillow. He shook his head speechlessly and went over to slap her on the perky buttocks.
Snapped!
Xiao Qing was startled by the sound, turned over and sat up, blinking her eyelids, with a hazy sleepiness still in her eyes. She was stunned for a while before she came to her senses, puffed up her cheeks, and said:
"Why did you hit me?"
"Master Ouyang has already gotten up early, why are you still lying in bed?"
Xiao Qing wondered:
"He got up early, what does it have to do with me staying in bed?"
Xiaobai rolled his eyes unhappily:
"What good daughter would get up later than her husband? It's ok if she can't cook, but at least she should help him get dressed and wash, right?"
Xiaoqing blinked:
"Husband? When did Ouyang Feng become my husband?"
"You're with him... doesn't that count?"
"I am his pet fairy, and he is my owner."
Xiaoqing yawned, then hugged her pillow and lay down on the bed, curling up into a ball:
"Helping him raise snakes, helping them fight, and being his mount, that's all my job. As for helping him dress and wash, helping him cook, that has nothing to do with me, whoever wants to do it can do it... Well, he made me very tired last night, I need to sleep a little longer..."
This lazy look made Xiao Bai both angry and amused. The blunt words also made her cheeks a little dry, so she raised her hand and patted Xiao Qing's buttocks:
"Don't lie in bed, get up quickly. Master Ouyang said that you have chosen a mountaintop and want to build a cave there. I am waiting for you to take me to see it."
"Woo..."
Xiaoqing whimpered, knowing that she could not sleep in any longer. She could only touch the place where she was hit, got up reluctantly, and put on her clothes.
After breakfast, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai simply packed up the cave, then took their few luggage and followed Ouyang Feng into the paradise.
When Xiaobai arrived at the hill that Xiaoqing had liked and saw the clear lake in the valley surrounded by flowers and forests, he immediately fell in love with the beautiful scenery of the clear water reflecting the thousands of red flowers.
In the colorful flower forest, there are roe deer, wild rabbits and frolicking around. By the green lake, among the water plants, there are elegant and beautiful red-crowned cranes strolling leisurely, pecking at fish and shrimps.
"It's so beautiful..."
Xiaobai murmured, "Xiaoqing is right. This place is indeed as beautiful as a fairyland."
Xiao Qing was staring at a particularly tall and majestic red-crowned crane and said:
"That crane is so big, its back is as high as my chest, and its neck is taller than me when it stretches out. There is some spirituality in its eyes, I'm afraid it will become a spirit in the future."
Ouyang Feng said: "This place has beautiful mountains and rivers, abundant spirits, and many spiritual creatures. Even ordinary wild fruits can strengthen the body if eaten for a long time. The creatures that grow here will have the opportunity to become spirits in the future."
Xiaoqing pointed at the tallest and most majestic red-crowned crane and said:
"If that crane becomes a spirit, I want it to be my mount!"
Ouyang Feng asked with a smile: "Do you need a mount too?"
Xiaoqing nodded: "Of course. Like you said, this is a grand occasion."
Then he turned his head to look at Ouyang Feng:
"You don't want to use that crane as a mount, do you? No, you already have me and Xiaobai, so don't be tempted by anything else." Ouyang Feng smiled.
"Okay, you and Xiaobai are my exclusive mounts. There will be no other mounts in the future."
Xiaoqing nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xiaobai and said:
"What do you think? Based on this pool of water, should we set up our cave in this mountain?"
Xiao Bai smiled softly:
"It will be decided on this mountain."
"I knew you would like this place too. In my opinion, there is no need for us to build a cave in the mountains this time. How about building a manor in the flower forest beside the pond? Well, build a large manor with seven entrances, put more flowers and trees in it, and build a waterside pavilion on the water..."
Xiaobai listened to Xiaoqing's idea with a smile, nodding in agreement from time to time, and did not think Xiaoqing's idea was too large and complicated - with magical powers at his disposal, even hollowing out the mountain and opening up a cave in the mountain would not be too difficult, let alone building a seven-story manor?
After talking for a while, Xiaoqing suddenly remembered something and asked Ouyang Feng:
"By the way, does this pond have a name?"
Ouyang Feng shook his head:
"Most places here don't have names."
Xiaoqing snapped her fingers:
"Then pick one. How about calling this pond Hualintan?"
"..."
Xiaobai couldn't help laughing, feeling that Xiaoqing's naming skills were simply beyond reproach.
"Isn't it nice to hear? How about Sisters Pond? Twin Snake Pond? White Green Pond? None of them are OK?" Xiao Qing looked tired and waved her hands, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with it. You guys come up with a name."
Xiaobai looked at Ouyang Feng and said:
"This place was given by Master Ouyang. Why don't you ask him to give another one?"
Ouyang Feng pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's call it Forget-Sorrow Pond. From now on, your manor can also be called Forget-Sorrow Villa."
"Forget-your-worry pond?"
Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, and she felt that this name was perfect. She moved here in such a hurry, wasn't it because she wanted Xiaobai to get away from the sad place, forget all the worries and sorrows, and be happy every day in the future?
He nodded and smiled, "This is a good name, what do you think, Xiaobai?"
"Forget-Your-Worries Pond..."
Xiaobai looked at the clear blue lake reflecting a myriad of colorful flowers, at the graceful cranes roaming by the lake, and at the safari deer leaping lightly in the flower forest. He felt that in this fairy-like beauty, all the sorrow in his heart had disappeared without a trace.
At that moment she smiled softly, nodded and said:
"What a good name. From now on, this pond will be called the Forget-Sorrow Pond."
Seeing that she accepted the words "forget worries", Xiaoqing was also happy. She raised her hand and took Xiaobai's arm, laughing and said:
"Let's go find the best place first. It's better to do it now than to wait for a good day. Once we choose the location, we will start work immediately."
"it is good."
"Build the manor within three days!"
"Three days? Even with magic, it's only enough to make a rough draft. Decoration will require a lot of meticulous work."
"It doesn't matter. We are not ordinary people and have plenty of time. It doesn't matter even if we spend three to five years, or even ten to twenty years to slowly decorate."
"Too……"
From that day on, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai settled down by the Forget-Your-Troubles Pond in the valley and built their Forget-Your-Troubles Villa with their own hands.
……
On the sea near Dragon Island.
A small boat was floating on the sea, and two men were sitting on the boat, fishing quietly.
These two men, one dressed in green, handsome, and the other dressed in snow-white, tall and heroic, were Huang Yaoshi and Ouyang Feng.
After a while.
Huang Yaoshi suddenly spoke:
"The Jin Kingdom is very wary of us. In recent years, it has not only banned the passage of copper, iron, and grain, but also purchased grain, copper, iron, and horses from us at high prices, attempting to use financial resources to weaken our military strength."
Ouyang Feng asked: "How did you deal with it?"
"Of course we sold it." Huang Yaoshi said calmly, "It's a good deal to make a lot of money. After all, we can use the money to buy food, copper and iron in other worlds. As for horses... how can we be short of horses?"
Ouyang Feng smiled and said:
"I heard that the Jin Kingdom sent another 10,000 troops to Guanzhong this year. Now Guanzhong has nearly 100,000 soldiers, and the military strength is quite strong."
Huang Yaoshi said: "No matter how many soldiers we have or how dangerous the pass is, what's the use?"
He looked up at the sky.
In the sky, more than a dozen flying dragons were circling and swooping down from time to time, spewing beams of blazing fire onto the water surface, splashing waves on the sea surface and burning large patches of white mist.
"We have dragon riders, wolf riders, firearms, and the powerful bows and weapons that you got from who knows where. Even if our military strength is far less than that of the Jin Kingdom, it will be easy to capture Guanzhong."
"So, you're planning to go to war?"
"Just wait for the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, it's time to mobilize the troops."
"Do you plan to contact the Song Dynasty and join forces to attack the Jin Dynasty?"
"Why should we ally with Song?" Huang Yaoshi sneered, "Song has not fought for many years, and its military strength has weakened to a terrible degree. According to intelligence, among the 10,000 imperial guards of Song, only about 300 can wear infantry armor. What's the point of allyship with such a weak army?"
"At least we can attract some troops from the Jin Kingdom. After all, the Jin Kingdom is a big country, and mobilizing tens of millions of troops is no problem."
“That’s not necessary.” Huang Yaoshi said proudly, “In front of the Dragon Riders and the Wolf Riders, even if we have a million soldiers, they are just chickens and dogs.”
"Since you are sure, then everything is up to you."
In fact, Ouyang Feng was just checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps. He didn't care about the Jin and Song countries at all.
Even if something unexpected happens, isn't he here to cover it?
Conquering the Jin and Song dynasties and unifying the world are no longer a problem. The only difficulty lies in how to stabilize the people's hearts and rule the world.
"We will seize Guanzhong this year, destroy the Jin Kingdom next year, and conquer Guanzhong and Bashu the year after. The year after that, we will destroy the Song Dynasty. We will strive to unify the world within four years."
Huang Yaoshi stood up with high spirits and pulled the fishing rod, but there was only a jellyfish on the hook.
He snorted softly, and flicked out a finger, which penetrated into the sea. In a flash, a huge fish that was ten feet long from head to tail floated to the surface of the water, with its belly turned up.
Huang Yaoshi then smiled and said, "This fish is for you."
After that, he put away his fishing rod and waved his hand to summon the phantom of a bronze gate. "Although you have decided not to lead troops to fight anymore, you must at least show up when the oath of allegiance is taken."
"Of course." Ouyang Feng nodded with a smile.
"Let's go." Huang Yaoshi smiled and left the cave.
