Xia Xun waited anxiously outside the palace, ready to escape at any time, but at dusk, he saw He Tianyang and Pingnu coming out of the palace, accompanied by Meng Shilang, Xia Xun saw this scene, so he had to hold his temperament, and waited for the "prince" to get into the car, and then he went in and asked: "Tianyang, why did you come out so late?" ”

"Haha, my lord, this palace banquet is really rich, I see that the emperor and those big officials don't eat much, I don't care about that ......"

He Tianyang burped and said with a snort: "Why is it so late, the emperor please drink." ”

He said triumphantly about what happened in the palace today, and when he said it, he seemed to suddenly understand something, blinked his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became shrewd: "No, no! I saw that the man surnamed Dao was full of murder when he left, this old boy may come to the yin if he can't do it, my lord, we have to be careful tonight. ”

Xia Xun was stunned for a moment and asked, "You said they might attack at night?" ”

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible, the people of this island country seem to be the most etiquette people in the world, and the attention to etiquette is cumbersome to the point of being incomprehensible, but along with this etiquette, it is their beastly nature that will suddenly explode at any time. I vaguely remember that it seems that there were two Japanese missions in history who went to the Ming Dynasty at the same time to pay tribute, and in order to compete for the right to pay tribute, one fled and the other chased them in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and killed the whole world.

That is still the identity of the same country, and now they have been humiliated by He Tianyang, the little prince who is extremely weak in their eyes, and it is strange that they don't want to get back to the field.

He Tianyang thought for a while and sneered: "My lord, tonight, let's make a good arrangement, if they really beat our minds, no matter how many people come, they will call him come and go!" ”

Pingnu is the princess of the island tribe, and the most admired is this kind of power-type hero, when she heard him say this, her beautiful eyes let out a light of admiration.

"No! Absolutely not. ”

Xia Xun vetoed it, today's Ming is not a weak country, and only in countries that are much weaker than you and want to rely on you to live a life.

Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "Don't forget our original purpose, what are you competing with a few Dongyingzi?" If you damage them in the palace, the emperor and the ministers will only see it as a joke, but if we use knives and guns to fight in the post house of the Ming Dynasty, no matter who is killed or injured, it is not in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, and the shame is the face of the Ming Empire, and the unreasonable party will be severely punished by the Ming Emperor, and the reasonable party will also be expelled. ”

He Tianye said: "Then what should I do?" If they do rush over and do it......"

Xia Xun said: "After I go back, talk to Honglu Temple, they are responsible for hospitality, once the fight starts, they will not be able to get out of it, and they will definitely send more soldiers to control the situation." ”

He Tianyang was unwilling, and said stupidly: "Okay, for the sake of our big business, I will pretend to be a grandson." , if they really dare to mess around, now I put up with him, and I will inform Shuangyu's brother when I go back, so that his grandson will not be able to return to Japan. ”

Xia Xun smiled and said: "Hehe, if you want to do it at sea, I have no opinion on how to teach him a lesson, and it is not impossible to throw them into the sea to feed Wang Ba." It's just that here, they are guests, and we are also guests, and we two guests can't deceive the master of Daming. ”

He Tianyang snorted heavily.

Who wants to go back, He Tianyang didn't have time to inform the officials of Honglu Temple, and there were suddenly many soldiers in the post house, and in the main hall and courtyard between the left and right courtyards, five small flags of soldiers were stationed, blocking both sides tightly.

It turned out that Meng Shilang had already thought of the possibility of conflict between the two sides on the way back, if the two sides really fought in the post house, or even killed the people behind the mountain by the Japanese people, then how could the face of the Ming Dynasty exist? With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to be the king of Shanshan under the 36 samurai swords, and at that time, the envoys of the two countries will be killed, and the rest will be swept out, and a good thing will end miserably.

Therefore, when Meng Fusheng returned to the post house, the first thing he did was to send more soldiers to completely separate the two sides, and not give them a chance to meet at all.

In the evening, Zhang Xitong, the guest official of Honglu Temple, held a pot of tea, sat in the main hall of the Yi Hotel, crossed Erlang's legs, hummed a little song, and was enjoying himself.

He deliberately moved to the middle of the residence of the two countries' missions, because he was afraid that there would be any conflict between the two sides. was humming and chirping, suddenly saw a man wearing a Confucian robe and a beard like ink coming out of the courtyard of the envoy of the Shanhou Kingdom, Zhang Xitong looked at it, and recognized that it was the honor guard envoy Xun Xia of the Shanhou Kingdom, and he hurriedly stood up and smiled: "Xun Messenger, where is this going?" ”

Xia Xun stood up, arched his hand at him and smiled: "Oh, in Xia Jiu Mu Daming's scenery is prosperous, the products are abundant, there is nothing to do at night, go out for a walk." ”

"Ah, your envoy to my Middle Earth, the land of man and earth, the land of the capital, although there will be no delay, and you can speak Chinese, but it is better not to go too far."

Xia Xun said with a smile: "Save, save, there is Master Lao's instructions, and I won't go anywhere else, that is, ...... Just walk around. ”

Speaking of this, he took a few steps closer, and said with a somewhat weak and unspeakable look: "Uh......, my lord, I want to inquire with you, your lord." ”

Zhang Xitong, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up again, twisted his chin and said with a smile: "Your envoy has something to say." ”

"This ......"

Xia Xun looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said in a slur manner: "Ask my lord, how to go to this Qinhuai River?" ”

"You're ......, oh! Oh......"

Zhang Xitong suddenly understood something, and a smile of "everyone is a man" suddenly appeared on his face: "Messenger, you go out of this door, turn right, keep going forward, there is a bridge, get off the bridge, you go to the left......"

Zhang Xitong spit and explained to him, thought about it, and said: "Directly opposite the Gongyuan, it is the lower place of Shuangjin, next to it on the left, it is Quanle Fang, and further on, it is Yuelaiju, the business is the most prosperous, the price is fair, and the girls have nothing to say." Generally under the weeping willows on the shore, there will be a few painting boat light boats, going to the painting boat is mainly to invite three or five friends, drinking and having fun, just looking for a girl, it is not cost-effective to go there, to find a boat lady on the light boat, but also have a unique charm. ”

"Oh oh, I can save it, I can save it, thank you, my lord."

"Hicc, come back, come back, I haven't finished yet, look at your anxious appearance, hehe!"

Zhang Xitong said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Remember, don't say that you are a foreigner, anyway, you speak Chinese very fluently, otherwise maybe people will cheat you." Also, if the old bustard recommends a thirteen-year-old chick to you, don't ask for it, there is a saying in the Fengyue field, which is called flower trial. Twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, still young, ** can't have fun when you get up, don't waste the money. At the age of fourteen, it is said to be flowering, and the daughter's family has arrived, and the men and women are receiving, which is also considered to be the time. At the age of fifteen, the girl's family knows the interest, the man loves the woman, and the two are suitable, this is called picking flowers, find an older girl, not only will serve people, but the capital of the head is cheaper than that of the younger one. ”

Xia Xun said embarrassedly: "Uh......, thank you boss, the boss is really ...... Really knowledgeable. ”

Zhang Xitong waved his hand modestly and said, "I can't talk about it, I can't talk about it, the old man is just ......, uh...... The court does not allow officials**, the old man has never been there, this is all ...... I've heard it, I've heard it. ”

Xia Xun nodded hurriedly: "I will save it, and I won't talk nonsense." Then ......, I will say goodbye in the next. ”

Xia Xun didn't dare to listen to him anymore, so he fled out of Honglu Temple, turned to the right, and walked away.

Of course, he is familiar with the path of Jingshi, but now that he is pretending to be a foreign envoy, he has to pretend. Xia Xun looked all the way, stopping and stopping, until he was sure that no one was following, then he sped up his pace and disappeared into the night......

In the golden autumn of October, there is a spring light on the Qinhuai River, and the most prosperous area is near the Gongyuan. Jiangnan Gongyuan starts from Yaojia Lane in the east, west to Gongyuan West Street, south of Qinhuai River, north to Jiankang Road, of which Mingyuan Building is surrounded by candidates to take the test, a total of more than 20,000 rooms, Gongyuan is opposite a river is the government-run and private brothel.

Every spring and autumn, tens of thousands of candidates gather in Beijing, once the exam is over, they have patronized, and they have become the biggest customers of this gold cave. At this time, after the release of the autumn list, countless candidates went to the Qinhuai River to have fun, and the crowd was like weaving, and it was very lively. On the river, the lightboat swims freely, and from time to time there are students waving and shouting on the shore, and the boat docks, and the boat lady is gentle, and welcomes him to the boat, turns off the headlights, and swings away from the shore, and then makes a night of dew husband and wife.

The river houses on both banks, carved railings and painted thresholds, silk barriers, bead curtains. These prostitutes belong to a higher level of existence, the houses are clean, the flowers and trees are sparse, the dogs bark at the door, and the parrots call for tea; When you go to the hall, you will be greeted by the bustard's mother, so that you will be like a spring breeze, and then there will be a beautiful woman dressed up, so that you will be fascinated by the five colors, which is the place where you spend a lot of money.

At this time, on the riverside by the bridge, a painting boat is parked. A few weeping willows by the river, the faint shadows and lights swaying in the water, the willow branches are like the jade arms and pink legs of the beauty wrapped around the man's body, swaying comfortably, sometimes loose and sometimes tight, and bursts of silk and bamboo sound come from the painting boat. It was a two-story boat, with several treads and a long ladder, which went straight to the shore, and there was a faint sound of laughter and laughter in the cabin, apparently already having guests.

Xia Xun stood still under a tree far away, and glanced at the name "Yi Hongfang" on the string of red lights hanging on the painting voyage, which was here. He looked to the left and right again alertly, and then walked towards the painting boat......! ~！
