Jiangnan is good, the scenery is old, the sunrise river flowers are red, the spring is as green as blue, can you not remember Jiangnan? It is written by Bai Juyi in Luoyang after stepping down from the history of Suzhou Thorn, this poem is also Xiang Qing's favorite poem, it is suitable for the occasion, the scenery of Jiangnan is picturesque, especially the current Jiangnan, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it has not been developed and transformed by later generations, everything is the natural beauty of the original ecology, beautiful, beautiful.

If there is no slender man pulling the boat below, all this will be more beautiful, I remember Xiang Qing saw an art exhibition in his last life, there is a painting called "Slender Man on the Volga River", it is an oil painting created by the Russian realist painter Ilya Yefimovich Repin in 1870~1873, the narrow picture shows the team of slender men, the sun is fierce, the beach is barren, and the slender man in tattered clothes pulls the cargo ship and moves forward with heavy steps.

When he looked at this painting at that time, Xiang Qing didn't have much feeling in his heart, and when the reality was really presented in front of his eyes, Xiang Qing finally understood what realism is, art is art after all, ism is just ism, and reality is always realistic.

Xiang Qing didn't want to look at the slender men who shouted the trumpet to pull the boat, he held a letter in his hand, he stood on the deck, leaned on the mast and opened the letter, the letter was written by Cao Cao, and he had just received it before today's departure.

Xiang Qing read it attentively, and Cao Cao said in the letter: The magistrate of Dunqiu collects greed, relies on the nobility, and the Jia people or fake two thousand stone public opinion obey the guide to advocate music, and the extravagance is getting worse day by day, and the people's livelihood is poor.

In other words, the officials of this place took bribes and relied on the corruption of the powerful, and the rich merchants and officials were extravagant, preferring to wear expensive clothes and traveling in expensive carriages and horses, but the people were very poor.

Cao Cao also wrote, after he came here, rectify the rule of officials, whether there is a background or not, as long as it is a corrupt official and corrupt official, they will all be killed, lead government officials to help the people build water conservancy, open up wasteland and farm, solve the problem of summer planting this year, and persuade those rich businessmen and officials to advocate diligence and thrift, as for what kind of "persuasion", you can guess it, Cao Ren has come to Dunqiu to help, and at the same time, he has also collected nearly a thousand loyal and courageous rangers and heroes, who are busy changing Dunqiu and letting the people live a good life.

He also said that Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, wrote to him again, saying that everything was ready, and he sternly refused to persuade him to join the gang.

Xiang Qing finished reading the letter with a smile, folded the letter and put it in his arms, people's lives are continuous encounters, but also continuous parting, every encounter, it is possible to face parting, and every parting is for the next better encounter.

Xiang Qing thought in his heart: Brother Cao, the next time I see you, you may have become a capable minister who governs the world, I am really looking forward to you as a capable minister, I have to work hard, if I can't keep up with your footsteps, then what will I do in the future in Wei, hahahaha.

Just when Xiang Qing was smiling happily, Ren Nanxi also came to the deck, and her mouth couldn't close when she saw Xiang Qing's silly smile, she stepped forward and covered Xiang Qing's eyes.

Xiang Qing didn't resist either, and said with a smile: "Don't play with me to guess who I am, I don't guess." ”

"Hehe, what are you laughing at here alone?"

Xiang Qing walked to the side of the boat, watched the river row under the boat, and even a group of finless porpoises chasing after the stern, and said, "Do you remember Brother Cao?" He helped the people in Dunqiu, and the people loved him very much, and the corrupt officials and landlords were so powerful that they trembled with fear when they saw him, and he was about to become my idol. ”

"Idols? What is Idol? Nanxi asked.

"Idol, idol is the person I worship, Brother Cao is the person I worship, it seems to go to Dunqiu with him, I also want to help the people."

"There must be a chance, Xiang Langjun."

Xiang Qing said with a wicked smile: "I think it's good for you to remove Jun, this word is redundant." ”

"Okay, Xiang Wolf."

Nanxi's face was red, but his face was covered with ash from the bottom of the pot, Xiang Qing couldn't see it, this thing was intoxicated there, Nanxi's voice was naturally charming, unless you were Liu Xia Hui, who was not in a mess, it was impossible not to be tempted.

When Xiang Qing opened his eyes again, what he saw was not the soft and weak Nanxi, but the senior brother Wang Yue, with a big face just an inch apart, staring at him directly, so frightened that Xiang Qing subconsciously wanted to draw his sword.

"Senior brother, what are you doing! Scared the hell out of me. ”

"I've seen you old for a long time, what are you smirking at here?"

Xiang Qing pushed Wang Yue away with a depressed face: "Hey, you old bachelor don't understand, I don't blame you." ”

Wang Yue had a series of greetings in his head: "What is a single?" And add an old word, I really don't understand. ”

Xiang Qing asked, "What about Nanxi?" ”

Wang Yue replied: "I'm going to serve the queen's mother, I'm already gone, she told me that you closed your eyes and giggled on the deck, let me watch you, afraid that you would fall into the river." ”

Xiang Qing glanced at Wang Yue helplessly, then looked at the harem on the boat, sighed and suddenly read the poem: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, good gentleman." ”

Wang Yue patted his head: "I understand, do you like Nanxi girls?" ”

Xiang Qing didn't answer, he turned around and left, Wang Yue followed behind and nodded: "Although this girl is a little darker, but her appearance is still so-so, that figure, she should be able to give birth to a son, my Xiaoqing is also black, well, suitable, too suitable, go to the queen mother to marry another day, Xiaoqing, you go slowly, wait for me." ”

If Xiang Qingneng wanted to hammer this Emperor Han Ling who had crossed over, it was just a southern tour, and he actually brought a hundred concubines, a hundred! The emperor toured the south, he didn't even come up to the deck, just in that line, hey, it turned out that the Three Kingdoms thought that Emperor Han Ling only had two children, Liu Wei and Liu Xie, but in this version, Emperor Han Ling's children are not like words, but Xiang Qing is not envious, well, definitely not because of envy, I have one Nanxi is enough to reach three thousand beauties in the harem, I can't look down on these vulgar fans, this is called deception tactics in the heart.

Wang Yue took Xiang Qing to kneel outside the room and shouted, "Your Majesty, Yangzhou has arrived." ”

In the room, Yingying Yanyan laughed constantly, and it could be seen from the shadow of the window in which room that no less than ten women were inside, and Emperor Han Ling shouted weakly inside: "I know, you arrange it, I will go down later." ”

"Yes."

Xiang Qing finally escaped, and muttered: "Hmph, indulge in women, ignore the government, garbage emperor." ”

Wang Yue hurriedly gagged him: "Don't speak ill of Your Majesty, you don't want to die." ”

Xiang Qing was still full of righteous indignation, and thought to himself: This dog emperor, I really want to rebel against him, if it weren't for Senior Brother to stop me, I would chop you with a sword, and let Brother Cao be the emperor, and the people of the world would be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

The boat has docked, put down the springboard, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army on the boat lined up neatly, disembarking in an orderly manner, on the shore, the local Yangzhou Thorn Shi and a group of officials of all sizes are already waiting, seeing the appearance of the Yangzhou Thorn Shi smiling, Xiang Qing recognized this person at a glance, it must be a corrupt official, anyway, it is not a good thing.

The emperor's guard of honor is very magnificent, it will take a long time to prepare for the time, and after waiting for a long time to see Emperor Ling of Han get off the boat, Xiang Qing and Wang Yue walked over to meet the officials in Suzhou, this Yangzhou assassin is named Mei Qian, when he heard Wang Yue say this name, Xiang Qing smiled that was leaning forward and backward, laughing, laughing stomach ache.

"I'm Lang Zhongling Wang Yue, he is Xiang Qing, the captain of the Imperial Forest Military Academy, and I have met Master Mei."

That Yangzhou Thorn Shi Meiqian also saluted with a smile on his face: "I have seen Wang Zhonglang, Captain Xiang." ”

Don't look at Yangzhou Thorn Shi is a big official of several thousand stones, when he sees the security commander and deputy commander of the Central Luoyang Palace, he has to salute the same, and the prime minister is a third-grade official in front of the door, not to mention that this is the emperor's side.

According to the usual practice, the two of them are going to hand over with this Yangzhou Thorn Shi Meiqian, the emperor's safety is the most important, counting the carrying capacity of large and small ships, they only brought 2,000 Royal Forest Army, and Yangzhou Thorn Shi is going to prepare 5,000 county guards to take over.

Mei Gan wears a crown and a broad belt, and the wide sleeves show the style of this old bureaucrat everywhere, and now this era is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the popular clothing in officialdom has tended to be civilian, and this Mei Qian is still wearing outdated clothes, which is very illustrative, he does not approve of the current fashion direction, and to put it bigger, that is, he does not approve of His Majesty.

"Wang Zhonglang, Captain Xiang, today I brought 5,000 soldiers to protect Your Majesty's safety, I don't know where Your Majesty is?"

Wang Yue looked behind Mei Gan, waving the flag, those county guards were all tigers and bears, magnificent, and the soldiers were sharp, Yangzhou was very short of horses and horses, so there were only three hundred cavalry in the front row.

Three hundred cavalry is very easy to count, but the soldiers behind are full of smoke and dust, and it is not clear how to count them, these county guards are neatly lined up, and the armor is bright, Xiang Qing uses multiplication, just the front, there are already more than 5,000 people.

He whispered to Wang Yue: "Senior brother, these soldiers are more than five thousand, and I feel that they are more than twice as much. ”

Wang Yue nodded: "Well, I know." ”

Xiang Qing's left hand was already pressed on the hilt of the Thundering Sword, and he secretly used gestures to remind the Royal Forest Army behind him, the Royal Forest Army is the first elite in the world, how could he not understand Xiang Qing's gestures, after getting the hint, he has quietly changed the formation and is ready for battle.

Xiang Qing carefully observed those Suzhou officials, these people all wore big robes, but in Xiang Qing's eyes, they couldn't hide, the temperament of military attachés and civil officials was obviously different, not to mention martial arts masters like Wang Yue and Xiang Qing, they had a sense of murder, Yangzhou has always been a stable place, where did so many military attaches come from, unless it was the county guards and county lieutenants of various counties, all of them arrived.

Wang Yue's expression did not change, he looked at Mei Qian and said: "Lord Mei brought 10,000 soldiers, which has far exceeded the prescribed number, I don't know what Lord Mei wants?" ”
