Li Yun continued, "Our stronghold is considered very good. Generally, the strongholds that do not allow strangers to enter are pure tribes. For example, the northernmost Miao people do not dare to go there easily. It is said that the Miao stronghold is very big. The people inside are self-sufficient and rarely interact with people from the outside world. The patriarch seems to know some witchcraft, and it is very mysterious."
Lu Fei sighed and said, "This place is not a good place. Although the scenery is beautiful, it is full of hidden dangers."
Li Yun smiled and said, "As long as you don't offend others, it will be fine. You are my father's guest. Even if you accidentally offend others, it will be fine. I will solve it for you." Li Yun looked full of confidence. It seemed that she was very popular in this area.
At this time, the moon rose from the horizon, shining brightly on the road ahead. Li Yun constantly directed Lu Fei to turn. Lu Fei did not know how many turns he made, but he saw that the two mountains were getting closer and closer. When the moon was high in the sky, Lu Fei was almost at the foot of the two mountains. Suddenly, two people jumped out of the forest and shouted, "%! @ # ¥"
"What the hell?" Lu Fei looked into the carriage. Li Yun lifted the curtain and said, "Yes! @ # ¥% … "
When the two people saw Li Yun, they immediately became happy. After chatting for a while, they let her go. Lu Fei drove the carriage over and said, "If someone wants to break into your stronghold and secretly subdue these two people, what should you do?"
Li Yun said, "These two people are only one of the hidden sentries in this place. There are two groups of people further away who are secretly monitoring. As long as there is the slightest movement, they will send a signal to the police. At that time, the people in the stronghold will be on guard."
Lu Fei nodded and said, "Your defense system is quite good."
Li Yun didn't know what Lu Fei meant by the "defense system". Seeing that she was familiar with the scenery here, she felt happy and excited. Not long after, the tall gate of the stronghold appeared in front of them. Between the two mountains was a stone wall. Someone on the wall shouted something that Lu Fei could not understand. The people on the wall cheered and the drawbridge of the stronghold gate was lowered. Lu Fei drove the carriage slowly over and said with a wry smile, "You can't be the only one here who knows Chinese, right?"
Li Yun smiled and said, "Of course not. There are many people here who often go outside and speak some Chinese."
While they were talking, the carriage had already entered the stronghold. The people on both sides of the city walls greeted Li Yun. It was late at night, and the stronghold was mostly dark. After passing the sentries on the city walls, there were large tracts of houses. Further away were some farmlands. Under the moonlight, everything in the stronghold was very clear.
The carriage made a creaking sound as it moved on the road. Li Yun pointed to a large courtyard in front of them and said, "That is our courtyard."
Lu Fei saw that the courtyard was surrounded by a fence. In the middle was a large wooden house. The first floor of the wooden house was empty to store sundries. The ground in the south was hot, so no one lived on the first floor. The two sides of the large house were considered wing rooms. Lu Fei stopped the carriage in the courtyard. Li Yun said, "My father should be asleep. I will take you to see him tomorrow. Today … Oh, you will sleep in this room." As she said that, she led Lu Fei to a room at the side. After opening the door, a clean and tidy room was revealed. All the furniture was neatly arranged. Behind the curtain, an embroidered couch could be faintly seen.
Li Yun said, "Although it is not as good as the inn, I can only inconvenience Young Master Lu." She had seen the luxury of the inns outside and knew that her room was extremely ordinary.
Lu Fei said, "It is fine as long as there is a place to stay. This place is very good." Lu Fei did not have to live in a luxurious inn. He had also slept in the wilderness before, so he was not particular about where he lived. But since he had money, he would be more comfortable if he could. Li Yun accompanied Lu Fei into the room and said, "I will take some things and leave."
Lu Fei said in surprise, "Is this Miss Li's boudoir?"
Li Yun did not answer. She went straight to the cabinet and took some clothes from inside. She said, "If there is anything, remember to call me. I will be right next to you."
Lu Fei hurriedly said, "Wait..." But he saw that Li Yun had already left. He could only smile and shake his head. Looking back at the room, he saw that the bedroom behind the curtain was very good. It smelled very fragrant. There were some rouge and face powder on the dressing table. Although there was not much, it could be seen that every one of them was of high quality. The bedding on the couch was obviously often taken out to dry. There was a smell of sunshine. Lu Fei lay on it comfortably. He thought that Li Yun was really generous. She actually gave up her room. Presumably, she felt that he was used to sleeping in good places and was afraid that he would not be used to it. This girl was really considerate.
Lu Fei fell asleep as he thought about it. The next morning, he was awakened by a knock on the door. Lu Fei went forward to open the door. Li Yun was holding breakfast in her hands. Seeing his disheveled appearance, she said, "Did I disturb your sleep?"
Lu Fei yawned and said, "Why isn't your rooster crowing? I thought it was still early."
Li Yun laughed and said, "That rooster is still young and can't crow. Hurry up and wash up. I will take you to see my father."
After the two of them went out, they met many people on the road. They were either carrying weapons or hoes. When they saw Li Yun, they all greeted her. It could be seen that she was indeed very respected in the stronghold. Occasionally, there would be aunties who would stop and ask questions. They spoke slang that Lu Fei did not understand. The aunties' gazes would occasionally glance at Lu Fei, unscrupulously sizing up his handsome face and majestic figure. It made Lu Fei feel a little embarrassed. He thought to himself that the aunties of the minorities were also so bold. During this time, many women who passed by also looked at Lu Fei from time to time. Li Yun smiled and said to Lu Fei, "It seems that Young Master Lu is very popular with the ladies."
Lu Fei laughed and said, "Then I will definitely not be popular with the men in your stronghold."
Li Yun also laughed and said, "The men in the stronghold will only admire people with strength. So, if you want to be popular with the men in the stronghold, you must first show some strength."
Lu Fei said, "I will only be a guest for a few days. No one will do anything to me, right?"
Li Yun said, "Of course not. We are here."
At this time, the stronghold was in front of them. Only when they walked closer did they realize how tall it was. The stronghold was built on a foundation and was very grand.
