After hearing this, Sun Jian was also interested, so he said, "What do gold and silver coins look like?" ”

Lin Nan then took out a gold coin and a silver coin and handed them to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian looked at the gold and silver coins, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Xian, the avatar on this gold and silver coin seems to be you, right?" ”

"It's not as if, it's me." Lam Nam Road.

Sun Jian said puzzledly: "Is there any point in this? ”

"There's no point, it's just to make a difference, this time I also brought a mold to make currency with the ship, and Brother Wentai just came in handy."

Sun Jian laughed and said: "Brother Xian is really prepared, this is good, I can ask the craftsman to rush the production." ”

Subsequently, Lin Nan told Sun Jian that the measurement between gold coins, silver coins, and five-baht coins is to determine the prices of the two countries.

In terms of monetary policy, Yan Guo has been implementing it for two years, and facts have proved that Lin Nan's policy of using five baht as the monetary basis has achieved obvious results. Lin Nan did not abolish the five-baht coins on the basis of adding gold coins and silver coins, which not only greatly reduced the excessive waste of gold and silver, but also made the gold and silver coins higher than the five-baht coins and became a precious metal.

The two "kings", who were both the lords of the same country, talked with each other in the main hall of the palace of King Wu, and in the conversation, Lin Nan also introduced some experience in governing the country to Sun Jian. After that, the two of them had a discussion about the marriage of Zhou Yu and Ouyang Yinying, and officially determined a wedding date.

Three days later, there were thousands of empty alleys in Jianye City, and Sun Jian, King of Wu, and Lin Nan, King of Yan, presided over the wedding for Zhou Yu and Ouyang Yinying at the same time, which was held in the palace of King Wu, and the wedding greeting team went directly from the south of the city to the north of the city. Only then did they enter the palace of King Wu.

On this day, Zhou Yu wore a groom's outfit and walked around the city with a swagger, and the handsome and scummy Zhou Yu immediately attracted the favor of many women and became the idol in the hearts of girls who attracted the attention of thousands of people.

After the welcoming procession entered the Wu Palace, a grand wedding was held in the Wu Palace. All the civil and military officials in Jianye City arrived, and all the people were immersed in the celebration of the wedding.

Two days later......

Yan Wang Lin Nan left Jianye City in the personal accompaniment of Wu Wang Sun Jian, and the two of them said goodbye to each other, and exchanged a few words, a little reluctant. Subsequently, Lin Nan, Gan Ning, Wen Ping and a long convoy slowly drove towards Qu'a, accompanied by Cheng Pu, the general of Wu, escorted along the way with 500 cavalry.

The group had walked less than five miles when they saw a carriage parked on the road ahead. Blocking the way, a gorgeously dressed woman stepped out of the carriage.

When Wen Ping saw the woman, he hurriedly said to Lin Nan: "The king, it's the county lord. ”

Lin Nan ordered to stop advancing temporarily, turned over and dismounted, and walked straight towards Ouyang Yinying.

"Brother, why didn't you notify me when you left? If it weren't for Gong Jin sighing there. I didn't know you were leaving today. Ouyang Yinying walked up to Lin Nan and whispered.

Lin Nan smiled. said: "You newlywed Yan'er, I don't want to disturb you." Besides, I'm going to leave sooner or later, and I don't have anything to tell you, so I can't bother. ”

Ouyang Yinying said: "Brother, from today onwards." We may not see each other for a long time, and I will definitely do my best to do what my brother gave me. Now that Zhou Yu has been appointed by King Wu as a rebellious general, I guess that King Wu wants to use troops against Shanyue, and I will follow my brother's orders. step by step, he helped Zhou Yu master the military power of Wu State. ”

"Well, well, you know what your role is, and that's enough. However, you are now two identities, in Wu State you are Zhou Yu's wife, and in Yan Kingdom, you are still the county lord and the military advisor of the Women's Army. The women's army of Yan Kingdom is in the process of being created, and I hope that when you return, you can see the strength of the women's army. Then the affairs of Zhou Yu and Wu will be handed over to you, remember to let King Wu first level Shanyue, and then go west to Jingzhou, and then increase the troops of Jiujiang County to contain Cao Cao's Xuzhou troops. ”

"Don't worry, I will. Brother ......"

Lin Nan saw that Ouyang Yinying wanted to speak and stopped, so he said: "If there is anything, even if you say it, you don't have to say it." ”

Ouyang Yinying nodded and said, "When my brother leaves, can I go and take away that pair of sister flowers?" ”

Lin Nan laughed and said: "Sakura-chan, you have to have confidence in yourself, with your appearance, in the territory of Wu Kingdom, you are also one of the best, the day you got married, you don't know, how many women are envious and jealous of you." However, you can rest assured that when I leave this time, I will take the pair of sisters with me. ”

Ouyang Yinying said: "Then brother take care all the way, Sakura will not be far away." ”

Lin Nan nodded, leaned close to Ouyang Yinying's ear, and said softly: "A word of advice to you, men are all lustful, don't look at Zhou Yu on the surface, you must think of ways to make Zhou Yu think about you." ”

Sakura understands.

……

In the port of Qu'a, Wu Bing loaded all the loaded goods onto the ship of Yan Kingdom, and after Cheng Pu commanded the soldiers to finish their work, he walked in front of Lin Nan, who was sitting on the side, and arched his hand and said: "King Yan, everything is ready, King Yan can set off at any time." ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "It's hard work General Cheng." ”

"What did King Yan say, and it was an honor for Cheng Pu to serve King Yan. King Yan left in such a hurry, he didn't even have a hurry to visit the mountains and rivers, didn't King Yan really plan to stay in Wu Kingdom for a while? ”

"Although the mountains and rivers are good, but as the lord of a country, I have been away from the Yan country for too long, as the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, if I don't rush back, what will happen is still unknown."

Cheng Pudao: "King Yan is really a good king who is diligent and loves the people, and I believe that the people of Yan will live a very happy life." ”

"Hehe, General Cheng, the purpose of your send-off has been achieved, please go back to restore your life, I will leave Wu today, please tell King Wu, if he has leisure in the future, please come to Yan Country for a visit, I will definitely take him to visit the mountains and rivers of Yan Kingdom, so that he can experience the style of the north."

"King Yan, please rest assured, the last general will definitely tell you."

Lin Nan stood up, hugged his fists at Cheng Pu and said, "General Cheng is busy with military affairs. I won't bother and leave here. ”

When the words fell, Cheng Pu personally sent Lin Nan on the ship, and watched Lin Nan leave the port with five merchant ships, then turned around and left, and went back to Jianye with his subordinates.

After Lin Nan got on the boat. As the boat went for a while, he let people put down a small boat, he and Gan Ning dressed up in disguise, got to the small boat together, and slowly sailed to the north shore, and the entire fleet was handed over to Wen Ping to be in charge of, and continued to sail to the sea.

Lin Nan and Gan Ning approached the north bank, and after going ashore, Gan Ning asked puzzledly, "Great King." Are we really going to take the overland route back to Yan Kingdom? ”

Lin Nan nodded heavily and said, "Since you have decided, you won't regret it." Go to Lujiang Shucheng first, go and take the pair of sister flowers away, and then go with me to Runan County. ”

"Runan-gun? Isn't Runan County the State of Wei? Does the king want to go to Wei? But what are we going to do in Runan? Gan Ning asked in surprise.

Lin Nan smiled evilly: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you will know when the time comes." ”

Lujiang County, Anhui County.

Lin Nan and Gan Ning were both dressed in the clothes of ordinary people and walked in the streets of Anhui County. The streets are bustling with people. The vendors on both sides also kept selling, making the entire Anhui city very prosperous.

Anhui County is now Qianshan County of Anhui Province, located in the southwest of Anhui Province, northwest of Anqing City, located in the southwest of Anhui Province, and choke the throat of Dabie Mountain. It is close to the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, and has the reputation of "the throat of the Yangtze River for thousands of miles, and the first state of Wuchu and Chu" in ancient times. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the fief of Anhui State, and Anhui Province was referred to as Anhui. That's where the cover comes from.

"Master, this place is located at the junction of Wu, Chu and Wei, and because of the geographical location here, it is also a place where soldiers must fight, but there is a peaceful atmosphere here, which is really incredible." Gan Ning followed behind Lin Nan, walked on the street, and said puzzled when he saw the qiē around him.

Lujiang County borders Jiangxia County in Jingzhou and Runan County in Yuzhou, which is the junction of Wu, Chu and Wei, and can also be said to be the border of Wu. On the general border, it will not be peaceful, not to mention that Wancheng is the seat of Lujiang County. However, what is presented here is not the desolation of the border, but the appearance of prosperity.

As soon as Lin Nan entered Lujiang County, he inquired about it, and the person who was the Taishou in Lujiang was a young talent named Gu Yong, who had been a Taishou here for two years, and the governance of Lujiang County, which had been depressed before, was thriving.

"Hehe, don't be surprised, Lujiang Taishou Gu Yong is a talent in Jiangnan, and in terms of governance, he naturally has his own uniqueness, we have come all the way and inquired a lot. It seems that Sun Wentai also has the talent to know people, otherwise he would not put Gu Yong in this position. Lin Nan said with a smile.

Gan Ning didn't pay much attention to the literati, and asked, "Master, who is Gu Yong?" Why is it that the master has never seen it, and he admires this person so much? ”

Lin Nan asked rhetorically, "You should know Dr. Cai from the Juxian Pavilion, right?" ”

"Of course, Dr. Cai is famous all over the world, if I don't even know about him, then wouldn't I be alone?" Gan Ning Road.

Lin Nan smiled: "Gu Yong is one of Dr. Cai's disciples, and his name was also chosen by Dr. Cai. ”

"Oh, it turned out that I met my own people, so the master came to Lujiang this time, I'm afraid it's not just for the pair of sister flowers, right?" Gan Ning suddenly realized something and asked.

Lin Nan nodded and said slowly: "Xingba, after following me for a few days, even my brain has become flexible. That's good, I guess when we go back, you should be able to take charge on your own. ”

"Thank you for the appreciation."

"Okay, let's go find Qiao's residence first, and then go to Taishou Mansion."

"No!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Nan asked Gan Ning to inquire about Qiao's residence, and he was full of expectations for Gu Yong, thinking: "If you can't take Zhou Yu away, it's also a good choice to take Gu Yong away." ”

Gu Yongzi Yuan sighed, was a native of Wu County, Wu County, when Sun Quan was called emperor, he appointed Gu Yong as the first prime minister of Wu State, and was an outstanding politician.

It just so happened that the Dr. Cai that Lin Nan and Gan Ning were talking about was referring to Cai Yong. The word doctor, which has been around since ancient times, is the name of a scholar. But there is also another meaning, which refers to a person who specializes in a certain skill, such as the titles of Doctor Tea, Doctor of Wine, Doctor Wu, etc.

On the basis that Cai Yong, Guan Ning, and Bing Yuan were unwilling to enter politics, Lin Nan gave them the title of doctor, that is, to let them be in charge of the teaching of scriptures, and they had a justifiable title, which was equivalent to the appearance of the Education Bureau. In addition, Lin Nan also has master's and bachelor's titles for other people who are proficient in a certain skill. Encourage people with skills to go to the Hanlin Academy and Juxian Hall in Yan King City, and on the basis of not abolishing Confucianism, they will greatly encourage people from other disciplines, so as to achieve the purpose of contending with a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin Dynasty.

Gu Yong used to worship Cai Yong as a teacher when he was a child, the Gu family is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and Gu Yong has been smart and clever since he was a child. When he was a teenager, he learned piano and calligraphy from Cai Yong, who lived in seclusion in Wu County to avoid resentment. He is quick-witted, quiet and single-minded, and his art industry is progressing, and he is deeply loved by Cai Yong.

Cai Yong's original name was Cai Yong, and he appreciated Gu Yong's talent very much, and thought that he would definitely succeed in the future, so he gave his name away.

Gu Yong was praised by Cai Yong, so he sighed. When Gu Yong was weak, Gu Yong was recommended by the state and county officials. When Sun Jian occupied the entire Jiangdong, he was valued by Sun Jian, and personally conducted an assessment of Gu Yong, only to find that Gu Yong was a blockbuster, and directly appointed Gu Yong as the Taishou of Lujiang. At that time, Zhang Zhao strongly objected, but it turned out that Gu Yong did not live up to Sun Jian's high expectations, and really managed the Lujiang River in an orderly manner.

Gan Ning inquired in the streets. After getting Qiao's exact residence, he hurried back to Lin Nan's side. said: "Master, I have inquired, it is in the east of the city." ”

Lin Nan nodded and said to Gan Ning, "Lead the way ahead." ”

The two of them walked to the east of the city, with Gan Ning leading the way in front and Lin Nan following behind Gan Ning. Soon they came to a mansion.

The mansion is not luxurious, nor magnificent, nor does it look rich, but it is the kind of decent scholarly family, even if it stands far outside the mansion. You can also smell the scent of ink coming from the mansion, which gives people a very fresh feeling.

The plaque is written with the words "Qiaofu", vigorous and powerful, and the handwriting is neat, and it can be seen that these two words are from the hands of famous artists.

The door of Qiao's Mansion was closed, and when Lin Nan saw this, he shouted to Gan Ning: "Go knock!" ”

Gan Ning said "no", and immediately went over and knocked on the door of Qiao's mansion.

Soon, an old man slowly opened the door a crack, glanced at Gan Ning standing outside the door, he didn't know him, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I have heard the name of Gong Qiao for a long time, and my master has come to visit." As Gan Ning spoke, he handed over the famous thorn and handed it to the old man.

The so-called famous thorn is actually a business card.

In China, business cards have gone through several historical stages: confession, stabbing, posting, and filming.

Business cards originated from communication, and it is an interaction in the era of civilization, because business cards are inseparable from words.

The primitive society did not have a business card, at that time it was sparsely populated, the environment was treacherous, people had a difficult survival, and there were few interactions; The written language has not yet been formalized, and the early knotted rope accounts only exist within the same tribe, and the tribe has no contact with other tribes.

In the slave society, despite the appearance of simple words, there were no business cards. The social economy of slaves was not yet developed, the vast majority of people were fixed on the land, and slaves did not have the right to education; A small number of hereditary slave owners formed a small ruling group, and because the ruling circle did not change much over the long term, coupled with the fact that literacy was not very widespread, there were no conditions for the formation of business cards.

Business cards first appeared, starting in feudal society. During the Warring States Period, China began to form a centralized state, and with the use of advanced production tools such as iron tools, the economy also developed, which led to cultural development, and Confucianism represented by Confucius and other schools of thought formed a scene of contention.

Each country sought to expand its territory, support and spread its culture, and a large number of new nobles emerged from the war. The princes and kings of all walks of life had to go to Beijing every certain time to report on their work, and in order to get closer to the relationship with the people in power in the imperial court, it was inevitable that they would often contact each other, so the early name of the business card "谒" began to appear.

The so-called "confession" means that the visitor writes his name and other introductory words on a piece of bamboo or wood as a meeting introduction document to the visitee, which is now a business card. By the Han Dynasty, the centralized state had further developed, and with the expansion of the territory in the early Han Dynasty, the use of "谒" became more and more common.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the name of "谒" was replaced by "thorn", and the material was still bamboo and wood. Some people also added official age and other content to the "thorn", which was specially used to meet the upper peak, and was called "Jueli Thorn". This kind of officialdom business card has a special writing format, and all the content must be written in the center of the "thorn" into a line, which cannot be split, so it is also called "long thorn".

There's a story called "Talking about a hundred thorns". During the Three Kingdoms, Xiahou Yuan, the general of Wei, had a son who was a prodigy named Xiahou Rong. Reciting a thousand words a day. Knowing at a glance, he can write poetry at the age of seven. When Emperor Cao Pi heard about it, he summoned him, and there were hundreds of guests, each of whom had a stab, and his name was written on it. Rong glanced at it and talked to him. If you are not wrong, everyone will call it strange.

The old man glanced at the famous thorn, and saw that the words "Wu, Pingnan General Nanlin, Zilin" were written on it, and there was no trace of waves on his face, and he only said softly to Gan Ning: "Wait here." ”

After saying that, the old man closed the door.

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, turned his head to Lin Nan and said, "Master." This janitor turned out..."

"Forget it, follow the customs of the locals, don't we also use our names in Yan Kingdom? Besides, Qiao Gong is also extraordinary, presumably there are countless officials at all levels who came to place it, so he is naturally numb. Lin Nan waved his hand.

Gan Ning retreated to Lin Nan's side and stopped talking.

After waiting for a long time, the door of Qiao's Mansion opened again. This time, what came out of the door was a middle-aged man with a red face, a man with a green beard and a white face. Dressed neatly, wearing an ink-colored robe, he looks very stylish.

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Nan and Gan Ning, then walked straight out and arched his hand towards Lin Nan: "Old man Qiao Wei, I have seen General Ping Nannan. ”

Lin Nan gave himself a new name. It's called Nanlin, and the word Zilin. Because Lin Nan's name has spread all over the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he used Nanlin as the name and Zilin as the word. Anyway, no matter how it changes, it's Lin Nan.

He hurriedly bowed and said: "In Xia Nanlin, I have heard the name of Qiao Gong for a long time, and I have come to visit." ”

Qiao Wei hurriedly said: "The general came to visit, the old man was disappointed, please come and talk about it quickly." ”

With that, Qiao Wei welcomed Lin Nan and Gan Ning into Qiao's mansion.

In the hall, Lin Nan and Gan Ning sat there, constantly looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the living room.

Qiao Wei ordered someone to serve tea and wait, and said with a smile: "The general came in person, which really made the cold house shine, but I have no contact with the general, and I don't know what the general is here?" ”

Lin Nan has been wondering since Qiao Wei reported his name, he always thought that Er Qiao's father was Qiao Xuan, but now it seems that it should not be. Later, after thinking about it carefully, I also felt that Qiao Xuan was unlikely to be the father of Er Qiao, because Qiao Xuan's had died a long time ago, and he died before the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, how could he still give birth to Xiao Qiao.

"It seems that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not advisable, and there are many parts in it that are inconsistent with historical facts." Lin Nan pondered for a while and said silently in his heart.

"Oh, I've also heard of Qiao Gong's name for a long time, and I don't have anything important, I just want to come and pay a visit, after all, Qiao Gong's reputation is far and wide." Lin Nan explained.

After hearing this, Qiao Wei sighed and said: "Lai Lai Ancestor's Yinde, in fact, I am not Qiao Gong, Qiao Gong is an honorific title for my father. My father died of illness many years ago, and Lai's Jiangnan talents often came to visit me, so they called me Qiao Gong. Listening to the general's accent, it shouldn't be a Jiangnan person, right? ”

Lin Nan usually doesn't talk much, because he doesn't speak the Jiangnan dialect, and when he talks to famous people, he also uses the standard Mandarin of the Han Dynasty, which is the so-called Luoyang dialect. In ancient times, there was no Mandarin, and many people spoke dialects, but no matter what dynasty or generation, there was an official language, that is, according to the location of the country's capital, the language near the capital was used as the official language, and it was also used to communicate.

"Hehe, Qiao Gong is smart, he can't hide it, he is indeed not from Jiangnan, but from Liaodong. Like General Anton Cheng Pu and General Anbei Han Dang, our family is all from Youzhou. Lin Nan explained.

Qiao Wei said: "It's not important, it's just that the old man has never heard of the general in Wu, maybe the old man is lonely and unheard." However, the old man has read countless people, but he feels that the general's bearing is extraordinary, and there is no kind of majesty...... In fact, a few days ago, Lin Nan, the king of Yan, came to Wu State, and the news rushed to tell each other, and the old man was in Qu'a at that time, and he was fortunate to witness the king of Yan at a glance......"

Lin Nan saw that Qiao Wei had an allusion and seemed to know his identity, so he laughed and said: "Qiao Gong's eyesight is extraordinary, then I won't hide it anymore, I am ......"

Qiao Wei suddenly interrupted Lin Nan's words and said, "The general doesn't have to say it directly, everyone knows it, it's best." ”

After Lin Nan heard this, he said, "Well, that's the best." Actually, I came to visit Qiao Gong because I wanted to ask Qiao Gong to leave this place with me, I don't know what Qiao Gong wants? ”

Qiao Wei was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly said to the people standing beside him, "You all go down, and no one is allowed to come in without my command." ”

"No!"

Qiao Weiping retreated left and right, and then asked, "Why did the general say this?" ”

Lin Nan said directly: "Lujiang is located at the junction of Wu, Chu and Wei, and it will inevitably become a place for soldiers to compete for in the future, and I am also thinking about Qiao Gong." I don't want to see Qiao Gong suffering from war. ”

"The general is King Yan, and King Yan is the general, but the old man really can't figure out why King Yan would visit the old man's mansion in person. In terms of financial resources, the old man is not rich, and in terms of talent and learning, the old man is not very good. The old man has lived in Lujiang for a long time, and when the war is torn, the old man will go to Tianzhu Mountain for refuge. When the war is settled, they will come down the mountain. The old man is used to the Yiqiē of the Lujiang River, but he is afraid that when he goes to the north, he will be unaccustomed to it. Qiao Wei politely declined Lin Nan.

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Indeed, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, with a pleasant climate, which is very suitable for people to live in. In contrast, the north is cold and windy. In winter, it is a land of ice and snow, which can be described as a bitter cold place. But. Compared with the Lujiang River, which is a battleground for competition, the north tends to be stable, and it is a very good place to escape from the world. Even if Qiao Gong doesn't plan for himself, he should plan for his pair of daughters, right? Does Qiao Gong want to see his two daughters suffering from the war all the time? ”

"How does King Yan know that I have two daughters?" Qiao Wei asked in surprise.

Qiao Wei is the son of Qiao Xuan, the late captain of the Han Dynasty, and because Qiao Xuan's reputation spreads far and wide, people often come to visit Qiao's family. Qiao Wei is also famous in the Jiangnan area, and the people in Jiangnan still call Qiao Xuan Qiao Gong to call Qiao Wei, on the one hand, because Qiao Xuan is nostalgic, and on the other hand, because Qiao Wei can indeed be called "Gong", because Qiao Wei has also been Situ. is one of the three dukes, and it is not surprising to say that he is called Qiao Gong.

However, Qiao Wei has always been low-key, when he was in his thirties, the side room gave birth to a pair of sister flowers, and at that time, his main room hated the side room, so he let the side room die. Later, when he found out, he disposed of the main room according to the Han legal calendar, because he was worried that the main room family would persecute his own two daughters, so he never mentioned that he had children.

He has always fostered his two daughters at home and does not let outsiders know, so people who are not close to him will never know that he has two daughters.

Where did Lin Nan know about these trivial matters in Qiao Wei's family, he only knew that the Qiao family had two daughters, called Xiao Qiao, and they were a pair of sister flowers, so he said it very simply.

At this time, when he saw Qiao Wei's surprised face, he hurriedly said: "This Qiao Gong doesn't need to ask in detail, in short, I know." ”

"It seems that King Yan has really worked hard to get me out of Lujiang here, and even my two daughters know it so clearly."

Lin Nandao: "Qiao Gong should also plan for his daughter, when your two daughters grow up, it is impossible to stay at home for the rest of their lives, they always have to get married, this place in Lujiang will inevitably be devastated by war in the future, how can there be parents in the world who don't want their children to live a better life?" Although Yanguo is located in the north, many places also have the reputation of plugging the south of the Yangtze River, and the symphony changes throughout the year, the scenery is beautiful, and it is very suitable for people to live. ”

"King Yan came here in person, just to let me move my family to the Yan Kingdom?" Qiao Weihu asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, Qiao Gong really has extraordinary eyesight, I will create a stable and comfortable living environment for Qiao Gong, just ask Qiao Gong to do me a favor."

"What's the busy?"

"Does Gong Qiao know that Lujiang is too guarded by Gu Yong?" Lin Nan asked.

"Gu Yuanxi is an outstanding young talent in Jiangnan, and he is the Taishou of Lujiang, and Wancheng is the county seat of Lujiang, how could I not know?"

"Well, then, are Qiao Gong and Gu Yongke familiar?"

Qiao Wei squinted at Lin Nan and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to ask Gong Qiao to help me make an appointment with Gu Yong, I also want to meet this young talent, and by the way, bring Gu Yong back to Yan Country together." Lin Nan started to dig the corner of the wall again, remembering that when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo, he suddenly dug up Huang Zhong, Chen Zhi, Wen Ping, and Wei Yan, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and always wanted to use the same method to dig Gu Yong to Yan Kingdom together.

"Hehe, I advise King Yan to give up this matter. Gu Yuanxi is not a person who is greedy for small profits, Jin Shi is unmoved in front of him, and the high-ranking official Houlu is regarded as dung in his eyes, if he wants to take Gu Yong away, he is afraid that he will not be able to. ”

Lin Nan smiled: "It's ...... man-made"

Qiao Wei said: "King Yan, please stop, Gu Yong, this person, is taciturn, mild-mannered, not greedy for fame and fortune, sleek and sophisticated, fair and selfless, and does not drink alcohol." If he wants to take him away, unless he takes the initiative to join King Yan, it is absolutely impossible. ”

Lin Nan saw that Qiao Wei said the matter so absolutely, and immediately dismissed his plan to see Gu Yong, remembering that Cai Yong wrote to his protégé back then, if Gu Yong wanted to come to Yan Kingdom. should have gone a long time ago, how could he be an official in Wu State. He sighed and said: "There are only a handful of talents in the world, I don't know how many I can include in the end?" ”

"Yan is full of talents, there are Jia Xu, Xun You, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Xu You, Xun Chen, etc., Wu has five tiger generals, eighteen hussars, twenty-four captains, and 300,000 soldiers of Yan Wang. Dominate the north, shock Hulu, look at the world, who can have such a meritorious feat as King Yan. Just Gu Yong, why should King Yan care? Qiao Wei said slowly.

Lin Nan listened and said with a smile: "What Gong Qiao said is true, I have thousands of military generals and 300,000 soldiers. The tiger is located in Jizhou, and the world does not dare to do anything. Just one Gu Yong, why should I be persistent? Thank you Gong Qiao, it seems that Princess Qiao has made up her mind, I don't know when Gong Qiao will set off for the north? ”

Qiao Wei said: "Qiao's Mansion doesn't have much family business, and all the people in the entire Mansion add up, and there are only about 20 people. Once you've packed your bags, you'll be ready to go tomorrow. ”

Lin Nandao: "However, this is the land of Wei to the north, but I am afraid that the road is not easy to walk." It is better for Qiao Gong to take the waterway, first go to the sea along the river, and then cross the sea directly to Yan Kingdom, which can also save a lot of travel and horses. ”

"What King Yan reminds you is, but I don't know where King Yan will go?"

"Wei State, Shangcai County, Runan County."

"Oh......" Qiao Wei couldn't figure out why Lin Nan would go to Shangcai, so he said, "King Yan will temporarily rest in the cold house today, and I will go and order my subordinates to prepare wine and food, guest rooms, and entertain King Yan." ”

Lin Nan said: "Gong Qiao doesn't have to be polite, just be simple." By the way, can you let me meet Qiao Gong's two daughters? ”

Qiao Wei nodded, turned his head and shouted outside the living room: "Go and call the two young ladies to the living room to meet the distinguished guests." ”

"No!"

Not long after, a pair of twin sisters walked in from outside the living room, two of them were only seven or eight years old, both wearing purple clothes, both of them looked similar, their pupils were painted, a pair of slender eyebrows were particularly attractive, Qiong's nose was straight, her lips were beautiful, and she was called a stunning posture.

"At a young age, you have already grown like this, and when you grow up, you will have it?" After Lin Nan saw it, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but express his admiration for the appearance of this pair of sisters.

"Daughter to meet Daddy!" The two sisters' voices were like copper bells, graceful and tactful, and they bowed to Qiao Wei at the same time, and their gestures showed due etiquette.

Qiao Wei nodded and said to the two sisters, "Don't worship me, please worship your guests." ”

The two sisters turned their heads together to look at Lin Nan and Gan Ning, walked in front of Lin Nan in small steps, bowed and said, "I've seen guests." ”

Lin Nan hurriedly said, "No courtesy." ”

The two sisters retreated to Qiao Wei's side, and one stood on one side, looking at Lin Nan carefully.

"Gong Qiao, I don't know which one is the sister and which one is the sister?" Lin Nan saw that the two sisters were about the same age, about the same height, and about the same in appearance, and he couldn't tell which one was the big Qiao and which one was the little Qiao for a while, so he asked.

Qiao Wei smiled, raised his right hand first, and said slowly: "This is the eldest daughter Lingpei, and here is the second daughter Linghui." ”

"Wrong, wrong, daddy, this will be wrong again, I'm Ling Pei." Without waiting for Lin Nan to speak, the girl standing on Qiao Wei's left giggles and sticks out her tongue at Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei's face was stunned, it was difficult for him to distinguish the two sister flowers, and the two sister flowers often joked with him like this, so that he sometimes couldn't tell them apart.

Lin Nan saw the naughtiness of the two little girls, and saw that the two of them were still childlike, so he smiled and said: "It seems that Qiao Gong is also difficult to distinguish, the twin sisters are really a pair of living treasures." ”

At this time, Qiao Linghui glanced at Lin Nan and suddenly asked, "Where did the guest come from?" ”

"Yan Guo." Lin Nan quickly replied.

"Do you know King Yan?" Qiao Lingpei asked.

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Not only do I know him, but I also know him very well." How? Do you meet King Yan? ”

Qiao Linghui said: "I often hear my father mention King Yan and say how brave and eloquent King Yan is, so my sister wants to see King Yan with her own eyes. ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid that if I see it, it will not be as good as you mean, King Yan is more ugly than me. Haven't you heard? When King Yan entered King Wu's city a few days ago, many beauties in Wu Kingdom fled with their faces hidden, which shows that King Yan is extremely ugly. ”

"What the guest said is not right, as the so-called people can't look good, those who only fancy the appearance of King Yan must not really appreciate King Yan, and those who really know how to appreciate will definitely not care about his appearance. It can be seen that it is rumored that the beauties of Wangcheng are like clouds, but this is not the case. Qiao Lingpei retorted.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Linghui said: "What my sister said is that appearance is only the surface of a person, and King Yan can dominate Jizhou and drive away Hu Lu and dare not commit crimes, which is enough to prove that King Yan is a big man with a lot of literature and martial arts." ”

Lin Nan listened to Qiao Lingpei and Qiao Linghui singing and harmonizing, and said the first thing, and saw a faint smile on Qiao Wei's face, and he was leisurely brushing his beard, and immediately understood in his heart, and secretly thought: "Dare to love This is all arranged by Er Qiao's father, no matter how smart Er Qiao is, it is impossible to show that Xi àn is so good, judging from the childlike innocence of the two people just now, they should not say such a blockbuster word." It seems that I fell for Qiao Gong, and he didn't need me to bring it up at all, he planned to move his family to Yan Kingdom......"

At this time, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the living room: "Hahaha...... Okay, very good, the Qiao family has two daughters, Da Qiao has the appearance of sinking fish and geese, Xiao Qiao has the posture of captivating the country and the city, a country is displaced, a person is beautiful, if you can serve the eloquent Yan King together, it will definitely become a good story for future generations. ”

Gan Ning had never seen anyone else since he entered the living room, and when he suddenly heard the words, he immediately became alert, his face changed greatly, he protected Lin Nan's predecessor, and shouted, "Who is it?" Don't pretend to be a ghost, come out! ”

Gan Ning's voice fell, but he saw a puff of green smoke floating, a cloud of white mist drifting down the sky, and an old man in a white Tai Chi Taoist robe appeared in the center of the living room.

The old man had a childish face, his face was full of red light, and he was holding a handful of dust whisks in his left hand, which was resting on the crook of his left arm, holding his hands crossed on his chest, standing there with a smile, staring at Lin Nan with soft eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "How is King Yan lately?" ”

When the smoke cleared, Lin Nan saw this person's face clearly, and he was stunned in his heart, and then said happily: "It turned out to be you, the Taoist Chief, who didn't want the Taoist to be even more elusive after a long time." ”

"Xingba, step aside, this is Daoist Zuo Ci, my friend." Lin Nan saw that Gan Ning was still guarding in front of him, so he hurriedly said to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning looked at Zuo Ci, and saw that Zuo Ci was a fairy and a kind eyebrow, and he was secretly shocked in his heart when he saw Zuo Ci's appearance just now, and slowly retreated behind Lin Nan, thinking: "The king actually has an immortal friend?" ”

As soon as Zuo Ci appeared, Qiao Wei immediately arched his hand towards Zuo Ci and asked, "Dao Chief, do you know King Yan?" ”

"Well, when the old man traveled all over the world, he once met King Yan in Liaodong, and King Yan swept the entire north in only five years, which was really unexpected by the old man. The old man watched the sky last night, and saw the light of the Ziwei Emperor Star floating in the sky over the Lujiang River, so he hurriedly calculated a hexagram, and after this calculation, he knew that King Yan had come to Anhui City. King Yan came from afar, and the old man naturally wanted to come to see him in person, and he was abrupt just now, and asked King Yan not to blame. Zuo Ci shook the dust in his hand, stood upright with one palm, leaned forward slightly, and made a Taoist salute to King Yan. (To be continued......)
