Zheng Yunming nodded and said, "Under the current situation, neither side should take measures to intensify conflicts. It is not wrong to release the prisoners and show goodwill."

"But since I have called Zheng's name, I can't help but go to Baijia Village in person."

Lu Xunzhi twisted his beard and pondered: "The previous second defeat has already slashed the morale of the army. This time, we must deal with it carefully..."

"What else can I say!" Hu Yanyu shouted: "This time we must build up all the troops and use the aura of Mount Tai to destroy this group of local soldiers in Wudang Mountain! Only then can we show our army's thunderous means!"

Ge Huai patted his back to show his praise and added loudly: "Tell your brothers to bring all the big and small firearms and let General Mu go and blow Baijiazhai to pieces!"

"If this is the case, it's really a big deal." Zheng Yunming said in an unquestionable tone: "This time, Mr. Ge and Hu Yanyu are not allowed to go!"

Ge Huai was dispelled by the words of the general manager and muttered in a low voice: "You are going to fight, but you don't take me there. Will staying in Xiangyang suffocate Old Ge to death..."

"Not only Mr. Ge, no one is allowed to go." Zheng Yunming said: "I'll just go alone this time."

His words clearly meant to exclude the option of excluding the option of solving force. Several guys who usually screamed and wanted to fight were immediately silent. They were obviously not satisfied with the general's decision.

Lu Xunzhi said: "Then we can't let the general manager go alone. We have already taken a Yang Shu. We can no longer send a general to the opponent who can't see clearly now."

Zheng Yunming smiled and waved his hand: "Just Yang said, as long as there are enough people, it's a burden to bring one more."

"I don't think the other party will be detained to detain the guests who came to visit." Wang Deng said: "Let me go with the supervisor. If the other party dares to have any small plans, I will throw his village first."

In winter, Wudang Mountain is in a strong cold state. The sun showed a little in the clouds and hid lazily. Although the slow southwest wind blew on her face, it slowly penetrated into the cold clothes and eroded the bones. The pedestrians wrapped their clothes tightly and accelerated their pace, hoping to return to their warm homes sooner.

At this time, a small team of knights on the bank of the Manan River were far away from Xiangyang City and heading to the foothills of Wudang Mountain, which might be hidden in danger.

Zheng Yunming looked at the continuous mountains in the distance. Under the lead-gray sky, the dark green peaks were hidden in the clouds and mist, appearing high and mysterious.

"No wonder people call it a blessing in the cave," he said to Wang Deng beside him: "Now I can't tell whether there are gods living here."

This is Wang Deng’s second time in Wudang. He knows much more about the scenery here than Zheng Yunming, who only knew about Wudang from a little vague memory in later generations.

"This is just a corner of Wudang. Going up a few miles further, it is where Tianzhu Peak, the highest peak of Wudang. When you climb this peak, you will reach the top. All the seventy-two peaks around you are all bowing to the Yaozun, and there can be called a true blessing in the cave."

While the two were talking, a boat boat rowed over from a distance, and the boatman shouted loudly: "Are you a distinguished guest from Xiangyang?"

Zheng Yunming was slightly surprised. He held his hand on the saddle and smiled, "How do you know that I came from Xiangyang?"

"I don't know," the boatman said in the dialect of Wudang Mountain, with a clanging accent: "Mr. I said, if it was from Xiangyang who looked at the noble guest, I would ask me to collect ten times the money he had to cross the river. He would not refuse to give it."

Zheng Yunming laughed loudly and said, "Then let's get on the boat."

"Come on slow." The boatman knocked on the boat gang with his oars: "You also saw that I was just a small boat, and I could only cross one person and one horse at a time. I couldn't afford it if I had too much."

Zheng Yunming turned over and got off the horse, took his mount and boarded the boat, and said, "Don't be too verbally verbally. Just cross the river one by one. The ship's capital will not be reduced to you."

The boatman laughed and supported himself into the water with his oars, and the boat left the river bank and came north.

The boatman sang loudly while roaring the oars, "I know that the lonely boat is floating on the river. Those who are in a row will fight, and those who are in a row will be in a hurry. Those who are in a row will not worry, and those who are in a row will not be in a row. The water should be in a row with a slow momentum. The way of heaven is difficult to predict, so why do you need to steer the oars? There is a thatched cottage on the lonely peak, and learn to be a lying dragon."

Zheng Yunming asked, "Who wrote this song?"

The boatman smiled and said, "It was done by Mr. I. I will make a horn when I sail every day."

The river surface was not very wide, and the boatman shuttled back and forth, crossing more than ten riders and horses.

Zheng Yunming waved his hand and asked Zheng Xian for paying the money, and asked again: "Where is the gentleman you said now?"

The boatman pointed to the mountain road not far away and said, "Walk a few miles from here, and then someone will naturally come to tell the distinguished guests."

The group of people rode on the horse for several miles, and the mountains gradually became steep and fast. In the Chongling Mountains, the terraced fields were embedded on the hillside like exquisite puzzles. At this time, the vernal equinox was not yet reached, and there were no farmers in the fields. However, from time to time, wild fox badgers ran through the fields quickly and drilled into the low bushes.

Zheng Yunming looked at a few wisps of smoke rising from the thatched hut in the mountains, and suddenly there was a little more vitality in the desolate and cold weather. It was really like he was in a living Mi Fu landscape painting.

Just as I was looking away, a farmer walked slowly over on the road facing him with a plowing ox. When he was about to meet Zheng Yunming and others, the farmer led the plowing ox to the side of the road, and he also bowed to the ground on the side of the road, saying, "The General Manager is blessed!"

Zheng Yunming turned over and dismounted, supported his palms, and asked with a smile: "Is this what the sir taught you?"

The farmer grinned and said, "Sir, I'll give you a reward if you shout a blessing."

"This guy, I cheated a lot of money before I met." Zheng Yunming greeted Zheng Xian to get the reward and asked again: "Where is the sir? Can you tell me now?"

The farmer held the heavy five-silo copper coins in his hand, laughing so hard that he couldn't stop. He pointed to the towering mountain in the northwest and said, "'Under the Zixiao Peak, Qingqing is a cliff,' there is the residence of the gentleman."

Wang Deng laughed: "'Under Zixiao Peak, the green is formed into a cliff,' this man is so arrogant."

"Talented people usually have airs." Zheng Yunming said: "It's a pity that most of the people in this world don't have real talent and knowledge."

He urged his mount under his crotch and said, "Let's go, let's see if this scary gentleman is a strange man who turns the world around."

Everyone came all the way to the foot of the mountain. Sure enough, the mountains were rising up, and the clouds and mist were shrouded in the top of the mountain, and it looked like a cave of gods.

There is a cliff on the side of the mountain. The cliff wall is covered with vines and moss. From a distance, it looks like a huge jade wall standing among the mountains. Not far from the cliff wall is a small river flowing by, a green bamboo forest grows by the river, and a huge water wheel is squeaking on the river bank in front of the bamboo forest.

Suddenly, two white cranes rose into the sky and disappeared among the vast mountain walls. The whistling of monkeys came from the air. Looking closely, several golden-haired monkeys were climbing and playing on the cliff.

Zheng Yunming sighed in his heart, it is such a blessed place for pure cultivation.

In front of the water wheel was a delicate and smooth bamboo bridge. When Zheng Yunming led everyone across the bamboo bridge, he saw three people waiting on the bridge.

Two of them are two old men, one fat and one thin, and the other is covered with a helmet and armor with anger. Who is it if it is not Yang Li?

Zheng Yunming jumped off his horse, hugged Yang Xu with his arms, and said happily: "Father Chun, it's fine!"

Then Wang Deng also stepped forward and greeted Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan waved his hand at the fat and thin elders and said, "This is Bai Zengshou, the head of the Bai Family Village, and Bai Tianshou's two father-in-laws."

The fat old man pointed at him first and said, "I am my younger brother Bai Tianshou."

The thin old man glared at him and bowed and said, "My elder brother Bai Zengshou is the head of Baijia Village in this radius of dozens of miles."

He bowed deeply to Zheng Yunming and apologized: "The general manager sent his army twice in the previous period. Everyone in the village was frightened and had no choice but to use a plan to retreat the general manager's army. There are many offensive places, so please forgive me."

Zheng Yunming waved his hand and said, "It's my subordinate who is not good at learning skills, no wonder others." His words suddenly changed: "But if someone wants to surrender to the Tartars to betray his ancestors, even if the court can spare me, I, Zheng Yunming, will not spare him!"

The fat old man laughed and said, "Who would have betrayed his ancestors? That Saribojin is still escorted in the Wushen Temple in the back mountain."

Zheng Yunming nodded and said seriously: "If you still think you are a citizen of the Song Dynasty, I have the responsibility to defend your safety. I know that the people of Wudang Mountain have always been suffering from the chaos, but don't worry, my Tulong Army will never station a soldier in the village, but just send people to set up barriers to defend at several passes in the north of the mountain. I hope that the two will provide assistance to the government army in view of the importance of state affairs."

The Bai brothers looked at each other and bowed together to agree.

Zheng Yunming smiled and said, "That's right." He pointed the horse whip at the Cuizhulin and said, "Do those noble soldiers who defeated our army twice lived in this bamboo forest?"

Bai Tianshou said: "It's exactly that, the thatched cottage of Yijie's nephew is in this green bamboo forest."

Yang Xun hit the forehead violently and said, "Is it Bai Yijie?"

Zheng Yunming quickly searched the name in his mind. He seemed to have heard of it, but he couldn't remember where it was.

Wang Deng looked at the confused look of the general manager and said slowly: "That Bai Yijie was the weird guy who ranked first in the provincial examination two years ago, which excited the students of Jinghu, and then resigned from the palace examination and refused to take the exam, and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion."

Zheng Yunming then remembered that such rumors had been circulating among his classmates before the exam, but at that time he was supervised by his father and had to take care of his various chores and had no time to listen to these gossips in the exam room. However, some people were willing to give up their bright future and return to their homes to farm. Not many people could have this kind of courage in the field of medicine.
