The Yellow Crane Tower is in the southeast corner of Wuchang City, towering on the Yellow Crane Mountain.

From the Yellow Crane Tower, you can overlook the entire Wuchang City, and even the military city in the northwest of Wuchang City, and you can see the misty Yangtze River, and even the parrot island row houses, fishermen and even ferries in the heart of the river, as well as the Hanyang City on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the distance, it seems that the outline can be faintly seen.

At this moment, Lu Ning and Jiao were on this Yellow Crane Tower, seemingly getting together with some literati and idlers who were worried about state affairs, talking about whether Hanyang City would be conquered by the Qi army, but what Lu Ning glanced at from time to time was the direction of Wuchang Military City.

In fact, since the Qi army appeared on the north bank of the river, the Yellow Crane Tower resumed its use as a military building and an observatory, after all, the Yellow Crane floor platform is connected to the city wall.

The state soldiers were guarding at the foot of the Yellow Crane Mountain, but soon, this martial law became a fee, and they wanted to climb the building? Yes, each person will be rewarded with one penny of silver, which is one hundred Wen.

People are panicked, many literati and idlers in Wuchang City gather, all come to this Yellow Crane Tower, to see the situation in Jiangbei.

But I don't want to, there are soldiers guarding the building, and the fees are even more lion mouths, some poor scholars who are worried about state affairs and have tempers are very dissatisfied, and under the noise, they can negotiate again, and those who are ten literates can also be on it, but they are dressed like Lu Ning businessmen, with beautiful concubines, and two people can not afford to pay two hundred yuan.

Fortunately, in Wuchang, a first-class trading town, Gejia Qianzhuang has already issued local money tickets.

However, the money ticket is not for circulation, and the lowest denomination of the Gejia Money Village is consistent, although the head of the duty does not refuse all valuable things, and the money ticket is naturally accepted, but there is no change.

Lu Ning simply ordered more than ten literati who didn't dare to quarrel with the soldiers, and they were not serious on duty, as if they were giving this rich man a discount, and they were all allowed to go.

Today's Yellow Crane Tower, only two floors, but extremely majestic and majestic, people stand down and look up, they will feel very small, there is a feeling of vertigo.

The first floor of the Yellow Crane Tower is connected to the city wall, and it can really be used as an arrow tower to defend the city.

At this time, Lu Ning was on the second floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, looking into the distance by the railing, looking at the military city in the distance.

Jiao Shi stood next to him, carrying a three-layer food box, but he was a little panting.

However, she prepared some cakes and other snacks very carefully, which she made herself.

She was willing to take it, and Lu Ning didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Several literati nearby, although Lu Ning packed them in, but they obviously had a natural resistance to businessmen, they were full of copper smell, and they were accompanied by charming and beautiful concubines, which was simply the most original sin in the eyes of poor scholars.

In all dynasties, the object of criticism among poor scholars is this kind of businessman, and his charming and beautiful concubine is the YY object in the sour Confucian's articles, how to be attracted by his own talent, and how he can't help himself, the good ending is romantic miscellaneous, and the bad ending is the bitter love drama.

These literati, when they got together to talk about Jiangbei, they didn't pay attention to Lu Ning, and some secretly glanced at Jiao's, and they were glared at by Jiao's apricot eyes, and they were immediately too frightened to look at it again.

Jiao listened with disdain as they talked about how barbaric the Qi army's horses were, how they drank blood and even ate human flesh raw.

Some scribes even said that if the Qi army really wanted to cross the river, he would carry a three-foot sword into battle to kill the enemy.

Jiao Shi looked at his chicken-like figure, and remembered his submissive appearance when he was frightened by the guards guarding the building, and couldn't help but laugh, and immediately became charming.

The scribe seemed to have been secretly glancing at Jiao for a long time, and at this time, his heart was immediately excited, and as soon as he puffed up his chest, he saw the bewitching and beautiful woman with a snow-white face approaching Shang Jia, and said something as if she was flattering.

The scribe immediately felt a pain in his heart, the beautiful woman was so unfortunate that she had to devote herself to the merchant, so endured humiliation and burden, she obviously had affection for herself, but she didn't dare to show it, what should she do to save her from the sea of suffering?

Jiao's was talking to Lu Ning, "Is the master tired?" The slave family went to drive those poor sours away, and the master sat down to rest for a while? Refreshments? ”

Lu Ning waved his hand and suddenly walked in one direction.

In the east corner of the building, there were two scholars, far away from the crowd, who were sighing, and when they saw someone coming, their voices were lowered.

Lu Ning stood a few steps away from the two of them, here, it was more convenient to look at the military city.

Jiao's chased after him, still smiling to himself, smiling like a flower by Lu Ning's side, ignoring Lu Ning, treating her as air, and not caring at all.

When the scribe in the distance saw this, his heart ached even more.

Lu Ning's two literati were both in their twenties, and they were both born Zhou Zheng, and one of them had an indignant look on his face.

Seeing Lu Ninglai, the indignant young man on his face gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but want to say something, but was stopped by his companion's strong eyes.

"Water, water ......" a soldier came up from downstairs with a shout, carrying a small wooden bucket and a pottery bowl in his hand, but he came to sell water.

It is rare that many tourists today have only gone to the green or a few festivals in the past to gather these many people.

"Sir, I've brought water! Don't drink him, it's dirty! Jiao Shi opened the red cloth wrapped in the food box, opened the food box, the first and second layers were placed with various colors of pastries, the food box was opened, there was sweetness rushing to the face, the pastries are square, there are also long strips, golden yellow, snow white, you can see the appetite.

Lu Ning was stunned, and she couldn't see that she was quite good at making snacks.

At this time, Jiao Shi had already lifted the last layer, and there was a wine bag flat inside, which was naturally filled with water.

Lu Ning smiled: "This is the origin of the wine bag and rice bag, right?!Interesting, a little interesting......

Jiao didn't know what was ridiculous about the word wine bag and rice bag, but it was the first time this man joked with himself, and he hurriedly smiled: "Master likes it, and in the future, the slave family will always carry wine bags and rice bags." ”

Lu Ning Wan'er, so he went to get the water bladder, Jiao's eyes were quick, and he had already picked up the water bladder in his snow-white hand, pulled out the cork, and sent it to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning took a few sips and handed it back to Jiao.

"Master, the slave family, the slave family is also a little thirsty...... "Indeed, Jiao's powder forehead is slightly sweaty, and the three-layer food box she is carrying is not light for her, although the carriage has been sent to the Yellow Crane Tower, but it is a heavy burden for her to carry the three-layer food box for a few steps, let alone go upstairs, she is really struggling to keep up.

"Drink if you're thirsty, can I still make you die of thirst!" Lu Ning waved his hand helplessly, in the past few days, I feel that although Jiao Shi has a lot of problems, they are all common problems under the values of women in this era, speaking of which, she is not a bad person.

Jiao Shi was already thirsty and tired, so he hurriedly raised the wine bag, his red lips gently puffed his mouth, but he drank very much.

Lu Ning was stunned, isn't this drinking his own saliva? Seeing Jiao's fresh red lips sucking lightly with his mouth in his mouth, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, and then turned his gaze away.
