Although Yanqi Lake is not a big lake, it is also impossible to see the end of the lakeshore at a glance, far away from the shore of the lake, there is a high raised island in the middle of the lake, which is shaded by green trees and terraces. There was already a big boat parked on the shore, Yu Liyan and Yinhua got out of the carriage, walked straight to the shore, stepped on the board, and got on the boat first. Xiao Laoliu stretched out his hand to Zhou Nan, Gao Yuan, and Zuo Xiaosiyi, and said, "Distinguished guests, please get on the boat." ”

Zhou Nan and the other three also followed Yu Liyan and the silver bottle on the boat, Hu Dugu was just a guard leader, and it seemed that his identity was not able to go to the island here, so he was accompanied by the black armor army here.

This boat is just an ordinary boat, there is a canopy in the middle, the front and back are connected, there are two people in the stern of the boat, and there are only six people such as Yu Liyan's master and servant and Xiao Laoliu and Zhou Nan. Walk only a mile, the boat stops next to a stone steps, the servant in charge of the boat stops the boat steadily, and puts on the board, a group of six people go to the shore, but this shore is only a stone platform that protrudes from the lake, the stone platform and the real Yanqi Island have a lake water barrier, if you want to enter the island, you also need to pass an arched stone bridge, the highest part of the stone bridge is engraved with the three big characters of "Feihong Bridge" on the inside of the bridge railing, Honghong has the same sound, Hongyan is the same, but it fits this bridge, this lake.

After crossing the bridge, this is really on Yanqi Island, Xiao Laoliu said to Zhou Nan with a smile: "The distinguished guest is the first guest to set foot on Yanqi Island, this island is a desert island, since the princess built a palace on this island, she rarely lives in the princess's mansion in Danzhou City, no matter winter or summer, she lives on this island, and there are no outsiders on this island." This time, the princess also invited guests to the island, and I rarely came. ”

Xiao Lao Liu was talking to Zhou Nan and the others, and at the same time took Zhou Nan and the others to the depths of the island. Along the way, the green bamboo and cypress, the pink wall and tiles are exposed in it from time to time, the foot is a paved smooth stone path, there are more flowers, green plants are everywhere, sometimes there is the fragrance of flowers to refresh people's hearts, sometimes there is a cool breeze blowing on the face, such as entering the fairyland. Even a person as arrogant as Gao Yuan became restrained.

Yu Liyan and the silver bottle, who were walking in front of their heads, didn't see anything, so they disappeared. Only Xiao Lao Liu took the three of them to continue to move forward, passing through a garden that looked like a garden, Xiao Lao Liu pointed to a palace high in the west and said: "There is the main hall Qingxin Palace, now this is the garden, and then forward is the Tingxue Ju in the north of the island, the back door of the main hall, is the west, is Luoxia Xuan, as soon as we go to the island on the right is the Mingchun Pavilion. ”

Gao Yuan and this Xiao Lao Liu had a temper and asked, "Why did this princess name her palace Qingxin Palace?" It's like a Buddhist hall. ”

"You're the guy who took down Shoputa with one shot, right?" Xiao Lao Liu has obviously learned about the "heroic deeds" of Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan through his subordinates, "That Xiao Puda is Xiao Gan's general, and no one in Ping Suli can look down on anyone except Xiao Gan, haha, I heard that after I go back, I shouted every day that I want to compete with you again." ”

Gao Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't dare." The villain's surname is high and his name is far away, so General Xiao can call the villain's name and surname. ”

Xiao Lao Liu was also straightforward, and said: "Okay, you don't need General Xiao to call me, I am the princess's uncle, you saved the princess twice, so call me the sixth uncle." In terms of age, it's not a loss to call me Uncle Six, hahaha. ”

Xiao Lao Liu asked Zhou Nandao again: "You are the Zhou boy who dares to shoot tigers, right?" ”

Zhou Nan hurriedly saluted and replied, "It's the villain." The villain's surname is Zhou Mingnan. ”

Xiao Lao Liu couldn't help but sigh and said: "I think that Yelu Dashi is such a proud and unyielding person, and he is willing to recruit you two boys, it seems that you two are really worthy of your reputation!" ”

Gao Yuan laughed and said: "I am two young boys, with humble status, where can I have any name?" ”

Xiao Lao Liu asked Zuo Xiaosi's surname again, greeted Zuo Xiaosi, heard Gao Yuan say this, waved his hand, and said: "You don't know, a few days ago, Yelu Xiucai and Xiao Gan repelled the 100,000 troops of the Southern Dynasty with 30,000 people, and Xiao Gan's thousands of soldiers and horses were defeated in Gaojiazhai, and now it has spread in this Yanjing City, what to say to provoke Xiao Puda, repel the official army, and save the princess at night, I heard that Xiao Gan came back from Baigou River this time and was looking for you." ”

Gao Yuan said strangely: "Sixth uncle, you are also an official soldier, right?" Why do those people say that we have repelled the rebels of the official army, but you ......"

Xiao Lao Liu smiled and asked, "In your opinion, I should arrest the three of you and send them to the government, but?" Xiao Lao Liu saw that the three of them were looking at him, so he said: "I was originally also a general in the court, and I was in charge of the soldiers and horses of Nanjing Dao, just for my nephew...... I resigned and became my niece a pro-army general, only in charge of the soldiers of Danzhou - besides, how can anyone lead the troops to fight the cottage of his own people? It's time to teach them a lesson, haha. ”

The four of them were talking, and they had come to a small courtyard on the north shore of the lake, and the rest of the island were pavilions, but here, it was just a courtyard, similar to an ordinary house in Yanjing City, and in Zhou Nan's view, it was more like a courtyard before the crossing. The courtyard sits on the west and faces east, the north side is the shore of the lake, surrounded by whitewashed walls, the wall is set up with ridge tiles, after entering the courtyard from the east courtyard gate, there are two wings on the north and south sides, and there are five main houses on the west side, and there is a small door on each side of the main house, which is probably to enter the backyard. The main house and the wing house are located on the three-foot-high foundation made of bluestone, in front of the foundation of the house is a flower garden, which is planted with some magnolia flowers, begonias, and some unknown flowers and plants, the most surprising thing for Zhou Nan is that there are still two pomegranate trees, among the tender green leaves on the tree, there are already a lot of red bell-shaped pomegranate flowers like fire.

Xiao Lao Liu took the three of them to the north wing, which was also two inside and outside, and said to the three of them, "The three of you will live here tonight." ”

Gao Yuan heard that there were only three of them, and asked, "Then where do you live?" ”

Xiao Lao Liu waved his hand and said, "I can't live here, I'll go back to the shore and live in my tent." As he spoke, three maids came in, each holding a lacquer plate with several clothes stacked on it, and the first one said, "On the orders of the princess, clothes have been prepared for the three heroes, and hot water has been boiled, please follow the slave maid to the backyard, and the slave maid will bathe the three heroes." ”

Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan looked at each other, the maid who spoke was bold, looking at the three of them with a smile, Zhou Nan hurriedly said: "Please sisters, just put down your clothes, you don't need to serve and bathe." ”

Xiao Lao Liu laughed, waved his hand to let the three maids go out, and said: "The three of you wash and change your clothes first, I'll go to the shore to have a look, you come here, you can't be sloppy with wine and meat tonight, you must pick the most tender sheep and the best charcoal." ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Is there any good wine?" ”

Xiao Lao Liu smiled mysteriously at Gao Yuan and said, "Tonight's wine, I make sure you like it." After speaking, he didn't wait for Gao Yuan to ask again, and went out.
