More fireworks continued to rise in the streets of the city, and the Beifu army did not give up the idea of tracking down the assassins, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded through the streets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Groups of Beifu troops galloped around, and from time to time some yacha spotted the traces of the assassins, beating gongs and drums to chase each other.

However, as a party concerned, Ouyang Xiu didn't seem to be concerned at all, but smiled and asked if the two could take him for a ride.

"This guy really has a big heart." Zhou Ning thought.

Standing in Zhou Ning's position, at this moment, he could clearly see that Ouyang Xiu was wearing a dark round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, wearing a black hat, about fifty years old, and his appearance was extremely elegant, looking a bit like the famous actor Zhou Ning was familiar with in his previous life, handsome uncle Wu Xiubo.

"I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to, Lord Commander, please get in the car." Du 13 said casually, "However, I heard that the carriage of the county guard is even made of gold wire, but I am afraid that I can't look down on Xiao Du's carriage." ”

Ouyang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Little Brother Du is really good, the old man shouldn't have responded for a while." ”

Du 13 smiled: "Lord County Guard, please." ”

The three of them got into the carriage together, and the carriage swayed towards the west of the city.

Ouyang Xiu got into the carriage, his eyes swept over the inside of the gorgeous carriage, and said with a smile: "The two little brothers know how to enjoy it, and they don't forget to drink when they walk. It's much more luxurious than the gold wire futon below. ”

Du 13 snorted, quite embarrassed.

Zhou Ning smiled, tapped the wine bowl lightly with his fingers, and said: "The chic rivers and lakes are ten autumns, and the wine glass is not late for a day." Brother Du, like the others, has a strange problem that he can skip meals, but he can't go without alcohol for a day, which makes the county keeper laugh. ”

Du 13 stroked his palms and praised: "Brother Zhongdao is really my confidant, by the way, when it comes to fine wine, Zhongdao's glass wine is a must, after drinking this wine, drinking other wines is dull and tasteless." ”

"A good sentence 'The chic rivers and lakes are ten autumns, and the wine glass is never late.'" , Brother Zhou is really a top poet. Ouyang Xiu high-fived and praised, then turned his gaze to Zhou Ning, and asked, "I wonder if the old man is lucky enough to drink Little Brother Zhou's wine?" ”

Zhou Ning secretly screamed ashamed, and accidentally copied Du Shisan's famous sentence, patted his chest, made a frightened look, and said, "Lord County Guard, can you not look at me like this?" In a few days, I will definitely bring the wine to the house. ”

The three of them burst into laughter again.

Frankly speaking, Ouyang Xiu's demeanor and conversation are impeccable, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. Perhaps this is also a common technique of the literati of this era.

Along the way, the carriage galloped along the long street to the west of the city.

……

Zhiyuan is located in the western suburbs of Yangzhou City, on the side of Gaomin Temple, and this ancient temple that has stretched for hundreds of years is about a street away, it is a garden designed by Xie An, the contemporary head of Xie Valve, covering an area of very large.

The whole garden rockery pavilion stone, strange trees and flowers are readily available, there is even a river passing through it in the garden, the whole garden is divided into north and south sides, the whole garden is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the hall is exquisite, quite the elegant style of Suzhou garden.

The carriage stopped at the corner of the street on the side of Gaomin Temple, and the three of them got out of the car, Ouyang Xiu arched his hand at the two of them in a chic manner, and said: "Little Brother Du, Little Brother Zhou, the old man still has something to discuss with Gong Xie, so let's go first." ”

The two of them bowed their hands together and said in unison, "Lord County Guard, please take it." ”

When Ouyang Xiu's figure disappeared into the corner of the street, Du Shisan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Huh, I finally sent this great god away." ”

Seeing that Zhou Ning was a little puzzled, Du Shisan said hesitantly: "I almost forgot that Zhongdao had lost soul. Uncle Ouyang Yong is one of the most unprovoked people in Yangzhou City, don't look at his elegant appearance, and as a great Confucian, on scheming, on the city, the entire court can beat him only by five fingers, my father has suffered his big losses several times in a row. ”

After a pause, he explained: "My father is a foreign driver who is in charge of the chariot and cattle and stables, so he named me Du Mu." ”

Zhou Ning nodded suddenly, no wonder Du Thirteen was quite hostile to Ouyang Xiu, it turned out that the root was actually here.

The melodious evening bell sounded in his ears, which came from the Gaomin Temple on the side, and the two of them walked towards the Zhiyuan Garden not far away, Du Shisan said: "In addition to Ouyang Yongshu, there are two people in Yangzhou City who must not be provoked. ”

Zhou Ning smiled: "Presumably Xie Cheng is one of them?" “

Du 13 shook his head and said: "Xie Gong is elegant, the wind god is beautiful, it is not necessarily okay to really offend him, one of them is Liu Gaozhi, the general of Zhenyuan of the Beifu Army, a master of the seventh grade, although this person is only an official position on the seventh grade, but he has a deep personality, and he will be retribution, and the people who offend him have always been miserable, fortunately he is sitting in Jingkou at the moment, and we are not afraid to touch him." The second is Shi Long, the No. 1 master in Yangzhou on paper, and the master of the outer five grades, speaking of this person......"

Du Shisan said as he spoke, pointing to a small courtyard on the south side of Gaomin Temple not far away, and said lightly: "This is his secluded residence, in the past ten years, this person has rarely come to the venue to manage affairs, and all the business is taken care of by the disciples, but because the martial arts field is hung with his name, so those who come from near and far are still on the way." This person is good by nature, celibate and does not marry, lives alone in this small village, does not leave the house, and the apprentices regularly send people to send the necessary daily necessities, and bury his head in studying and playing Taoist classics all day long. 'Who can write Your Excellency, the white head is too mystical. That's probably the kind of person I mean. ”

"Shilong ......" Zhou Ning chewed on the name carefully, according to the plot in the original book, I'm afraid that Shilong is not playing Taoist classics, but "The Secret of Eternal Life". Secretly memorize and keep in mind the location of the stone dragon's residence.

Du 13 was about to continue to tell, but at this time, he had reached the end of the garden. At this moment, it is already full of people and quite lively.

Above the gate of the garden, there are two big characters of "stop the garden" in the font book like the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, and a couplet is engraved on both sides: "The secluded habitat is rebuilt on this day, look at the cliff and the clouds, idle and short-term strategies, the bright waves wash the moon, the pure orchid tassels, the waterside building view the first, and the autumn will be far away; Looking up ten years ago, I swept the moss to find the path, pierced through the rocks, plucked the leaves through the pool, reflected in the void, and countless smoke and haze under the eyes, all of which were used to travel. ”

The payment is Xie An.

Zhou Ning sighed: "Just looking at this word, Xie Gong's book of good deeds really deserves its reputation." ”

The two observed for a while, and then followed the flow of people into the garden.

……

Five five-tooth giant ships quietly sailed through the ditch, not far ahead is Yangzhou City, standing in the bow of the ship, can already be faintly heard, blowing a desolate military horn on the dock.

Yu Wenhua has changed into a set of pale cyan robes at this moment, and a pair of eyes are deep and unpredictable, giving people the impression of being ruthless.

Zhang Shihe on the side said: "The Holy Ming Cha secretly visited for more than ten years, and knew that this book fell into the hands of Shi Long, who was known as the first master of Yangzhou, "pushing the mountain", it is said that this person's internal and external skills have reached the realm of first-rate masters, but it is ridiculous that this person's martial arts cultivation is halfway, but he turned to cultivate the secret of life, hoping to get the book and not die, but he died because of this book, which is really ironic. ”

Yu Wenhua nodded, let the maid put on his cloak for him, and turned to look across the river.

Not far away, Yangzhou City, which was set up as Jiangdu County by the Sui Dynasty, stands in the upper reaches of the river, and the riverside wharf outside the city is full of large and small ships, lit with lights, and there is an indescribable desolation and tranquility.
