While the two were talking, the night was already dark, and on the dock, the lights had been turned off on seven or eight large ships, and the surroundings were quiet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The moonlight shone from the top of the mast and shone on the big ship, casting a silver glow on the postures and smiles of the two men.

After the sky fell into the night, a whole row of green willows planted on the bank of the canal, swaying gently in the breeze, the nearby vendors picked up something to sell here, at this time has not yet gone back, the lights of the small county town in the distance gradually faded, the two of them looked nearby for a long time, still could not find a place to eat, and had no choice but to give up.

The river breeze blew cool, Huang Rong stood on the river bank very unhappily, touching his stomach: "I'm so hungry......"

Zhou Ning thought for a while and said, "Little brother is waiting here......"

Back on the ship, I found a hidden place to open the portal, found a few pieces of cake in the room, and passed it back.

"Here you go."

Zhou Ning handed the cake to Huang Rong, "What is this?" Huang Rong looked at the cake in his hand with some surprise, small and exquisite, very good-looking.

"Pastries." Zhou Ning smiled, "Eat, eat." ”

Huang Rong carefully put the cake in his hand into his mouth, and then his eyes lit up: "It's delicious." ”

She narrowed her eyes and ate a few pieces of cake quickly: "Is there anything else?" ”

"It's gone." Zhou Ning spread out his hand, Huang Rong pouted, and looked into the water: "But I'm still very hungry......"

After a while, she glanced at Zhou Ning again: "Hey, what's this thing called?" ”

"Call it cake." Zhou Ning didn't care about the gap between the times, and then talked to him about modern food, such as cakes, shaqima, ice cream and other things. Huang Rong listened with relish, and when he heard him talk about ice cream, his big eyes were shining, full of longing.

Zhou Ning said: "I keep in mind the practice of ice cream and cake, if I have leisure, I will definitely make it for my little brother." ”

As he said this, Huang Rong kept looking at him and listening carefully, but he didn't know why, when he said this, the other party's face seemed to suddenly turn red. Immediately rejoiced: "Is this true? ”

Zhou Ning said categorically: "Once a word is spoken, it is difficult for the horse to chase." ”

Huang Rong lowered his head slightly and said, "I am also willing to cook for you, my food is very good." My daddy...... He loves to eat the silver silk rolls I make. ”

Immediately afterwards, the two foodies were under the clear night sky, talking about food, looking at each other and smiling from time to time, full of tacit understanding.

"I don't like to eat Huaiyang cuisine very much, although the Huaiyang kitchen knife is fine, but it is too salty and sweet, which is not quite to my taste."

Zhou Ning thought so, and said: "Of the eight major cuisines in the world, my favorite is Sichuan cuisine, tsk, three years ago, I had a good meal in Bashu, and it is still unforgettable." ”

Zhou Ning was talking about his experience in his previous life, and Huang Rongqi said: "What is a dish? I'll try it when I have the chance. Hey, my favorite is Zhejiang cuisine, fragrant and fresh, sweet and sour, delicious tight, but unfortunately there is no material here, otherwise I will burn a good 'jade flute who listens to Luomei' for you. ”

At this time, the weather was good, the two squatted by the river, talking about food, and talking about the current situation of poetry and literature, landscapes, Huang Rong naturally talked about elegance and knowledge, whether it was music or poetry, all of them were fine, and they all knew everything. However, Zhou Ning's talent and insight don't need to be said, the two of them are talking eloquently at the moment, and they can't help but be overwhelmed by each other's talent and insight.

Zhou Ning and Huang Rong chatted with each other. It was late at night, until they were both tired, that they got on two boats and headed west.

That night, the fleet anchored overnight, and the next morning, the fleet entered the boundary of Pengcheng, and in the afternoon, the fleet sailed into the dock of Pengcheng.

…………

Pengcheng, the city of drums, is now Xuzhou, Jiangsu, and was the original capital of the Yellow Emperor. Emperor Yao Feng Keng established the Dapeng clan here, and Dapeng became one of the "five uncles" of the three dynasties of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, located on the side of Surabaya. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Pengcheng belonged to the Song Dynasty, and later returned to Chu, and in this plane, Pengcheng County was established after the unification of the Qi State.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Xiang Yu's hometown is Pengcheng.

From Runzhou, go all the way, and arrive at this time. Finally, it was time to part ways, Zhou Ning said goodbye to Song Shi and Song Lu at the dock, they were going to turn west here, turn to Xiangyang and go to Bashu, while Zhou Ning was going north along the road.

"If Brother Zhou lives in Luoyang for a long time, remember to come to Chongwen Building in Luoyang East City to find me. If Uncle Lu and I go to Luoyang, we will definitely live there. After Song Shidao finished speaking, he arched his hand, turned around and left, and Song Lu also came over and said a few words to Zhou Ning, so that he had time to come to Song Valve as a guest.

Their attitude was sincere and sincere, Zhou Ning felt that it was difficult to refuse, of course, there was no need for him to refuse such things, so he nodded and agreed. After the two left, Zhou Ning got off the boat, looked left and right, saw no trace of Huang Rong, shook his head and didn't think about it, but walked out of the dock.

After a day of repairing here, and checking out the information from the north, he set off for the north.

A horse-drawn carriage was rented on the wharf, and after a few streets, the characteristic mess of the wharf gradually subsided, and was replaced by taverns, teahouses, and high and low eaves.

Pengcheng has been the place of four wars since ancient times, and the same is true in this plane, the city is also the junction of the three great forces of Wagang, Xiang Yu's Chu army, and the Great Sui, the three forces coexist in a city at the same time, and the chaos is needless to say.

Zhou Ning came to the street by car, it was the moment when the lights were on, but the avenue that should be lively was as quiet as a ghost area, and there were only one or two passers-by hurrying by in the autumn wind, a depressed scene. In the overlapping courtyards of the city, there was not even the sound of chickens and dogs barking.

I was a little suspicious in my heart, and then, when the carriage turned a corner, the warm yellow light and shadow shook slightly, and I saw that it was a huge mansion, and the traffic outside the door was busy, so it was not lively. The lights inside and outside the door are brilliant, the figures come and go, and the sound of laughter can be heard everywhere, even if it is not much better than the king of the day.

No wonder there was no one on the street, it turned out that everyone had come here.

Zhou Ning asked with some surprise, "What's going on here?" “

The coachman glanced over there and said enviously: "This is the mansion of Liu Yuxi, a great Confucian in Pengcheng, and Shi Qingxuan, who is famous all over the world, came here tonight to celebrate Liu Yuxi's birthday." ”

"Liu Yuxi and Shi Qingxuan?"

Zhou Ning was slightly stunned in his heart, and had the urge to meet Liu Yuxi on a whim, and hurriedly ordered the coachman to stop, and after paying for the car, he walked towards Liu Yuxi's mansion.

I saw that the street opposite the gate of the house was crowded with people who watched the excitement and could not enter the door, not to mention hundreds of people. A group of more than 30 armed men in green clothes are maintaining order, preventing idlers from blocking the streets and preventing the carriages and horses of guests from entering the mansion.

Looking back at the back of the mansion, Zhou Ning saw that the road ahead was blocked, so he made a big circle and came to the back wall of the mansion, and jumped in at the back wall.

It was quiet in the backyard, and there was no one.
