Li Yi nodded secretly, with Su Zhizhong's blatant action, it must be a matter of breathing out of Ye Guangluo's nostrils. If even the commanders of the South China Sea battalion collude with local forces, this trip to the South China Sea will be full of difficulties.

Originally, he also wanted to use the troops of the South China Sea Battalion to suppress the local underworld forces and recruit the local rebels, but it seems that this idea has failed. You must hurry up and find another way, otherwise, if Su Zhizhong plays tricks with him, this trip will be more auspicious.

At this time, Yuan Zidao: "Anyway, I still have to thank Runzhi for finally getting me out of danger temporarily." Even if the South China Sea is a hellish and bitter sea, I can only do it without hesitation, if it doesn't work, Su Laosan is something, if he deliberately makes it difficult for us, I don't believe that he can't be defeated. ”

"Alas! By the way, Brother Jian came back from the South China Sea, and I happened to get the news when I arrived at the house the night before yesterday, so I went to his house yesterday to make an appointment with him, and he readily agreed. ”

"Huh! Okay, without further ado, I have to hurry up to Shouzhong to pick him up, and you guys should hurry up and pack up and leave, the big guy will meet outside Andingmen, and someone in the province has gone the wrong way. ”

Soon after coming to Andingmen, most of the people who participated in the outing party had arrived, such as Jian Wenhui and his wife, Liang Song and his wife, Huang Dezhao and his wife, Wang Hong and his wife, Chen Shouzhong and his wife, Zhong Yunzhang and his wife, Zhong Youzhang and his wife, Yuan Zitong and his concubine Yue Man, Zhou Keming and his wife, and Wang Huang and his wife, had already arrived at the meeting place, but Lu Guangtu's family did not appear for a long time, but they did not know what the reason was. And the other said that Princess Qingyuan's Fang Jia has not yet arrived.

The first time he saw Jian Wenhui, Li Yi hurriedly went up to meet him.

Jian Wenhui is in his early forties, but he looks a little old, with a clear face, a thin figure, and a gray beard fluttering in the wind, which is obviously quite different from these young people.

But although his appearance was slightly haggard, the gaze in his eyes was firm, revealing a strong self-confidence and an incomparably firm will.

When asked about Jian Wenhui's trip to the South China Sea, Jian Wenhui sighed and sighed, and his words were not optimistic about his prospects. Li Yi originally wanted to inquire deeply about all aspects of the South China Sea, but today's day was not very suitable, and time was pressing, so he had to ask a few words at will.

Everyone talked about Lu Guangtu's lateness, and Yuan Zitong smiled and said to everyone: "This kid was diligent yesterday, the emperor drove back to Beijing, he was busy waiting for a day, maybe he hasn't woken up yet!" ”

"Huh! The big guy walked in front of Shou Zhongtou first, and I went to his house to have a look. Oh! There is also Princess Qingyuan's Fang Jia, the big guy doesn't have to wait, how many times has the princess been to that place. ”

Chen Shouzhong said: "His Royal Highness King Yue can't come this time, the emperor summoned him to the palace early in the morning, and the King of Qin and the King of Jin go together, I'm afraid there is something important." I happened to meet him when I was out of the palace at night, and he told us not to wait for him. In that case, let's go! ”

Hearing the news that King Yue could not come, Li Yi felt a little regretful at the same time, but felt a little strange, these three princes with the most respected status of the Han Dynasty were summoned into the palace by the emperor at the same time, if there was no important matter, there would be no such move. Puzzled, he had no choice but to follow everyone towards Liuhua Lake.

This group, including the family servants, there were always forty or fifty people, and although they walked slowly, it only took half an hour to reach the shore of Liuhua Lake.

Under the guidance of Chen Shouzhong, everyone went around to the west bank of Liuhua Lake. At this time, it was raining lightly in the sky, and through the hazy tide and mist, I saw a small pier on the shore, and a richly decorated ship was moored on the pier.

Most of the people don't know why today's meeting is going to be held on the ship. With incomprehensible questions, under Chen Shouzhong's arrangement, everyone abandoned their horses and got out of the car, and boarded this imposing and huge building ship together.

In this era, Li Yi has not seen any ships, and today is an eye-opener. The ship is as long as 40 meters long and 7 or 8 meters wide at the narrowest point of the hull, and the interior is exquisite and luxurious.

In the two-tiered cabin, there are seven or eight carved hollow and upholstered Hu beds on each side, which can be leaned on or lie down, and each Hu bed can seat three or four people, and there is a low table in front of each Hu bed, which is placed with various kinds of fruit and snacks, which seems to have been prepared quite properly.

In the middle of the cabin, the space is quite spacious, except for a table more than one meter high and two Taishi chairs, the huge space extends to the observation deck outside the cabin.

The aft cabin looked more like a larger galley, where more than a dozen servants were busy, preparing tea and snacks. There are also stoves and pots and pans, as well as meat, eggs, vegetables and other things, so you don't have to worry about going hungry on this boat.

Chen Shouzhong guided everyone to take a seat, and there was still a large area of free space for each family.

Chen Shouzhong finished arranging and then said: "Don't be impatient, there are pastries and fruits in front of you, if you have no meal in the morning, you can take them at will, but don't eat too much, there will be more exquisite dishes in the afternoon, otherwise there will be no empty storage in the stomach." ”

"Huh! This year's outing party is organized by me and Brother Yuan, purely to open our hearts and enjoy fun, and we will not chant poetry and make blind comparisons like in previous years. Of course, there are some fun games that you can't omit, and when everyone is here in a while, I'll announce the name of the game and how to play it. ”

"Oh! There is also good news to tell you that all our expenses today are taken care of by Brother Yuan Zitong, instead of pumping water per head as in previous years. Hehe! A man with a lot of money like this, we can't let him go, we must make him feel pain for a few months, what does the big guy think! ”

In the roar of support and laughter from everyone, Li Yi suddenly relieved his heart. Hehe! As long as you don't do any tricks to chant poetry, you will be completely relieved. With his two brushes, he didn't dare to show off in front of this group of great talents who had worked hard to study, maybe he would be embarrassed on the spot!

Everyone laughed for a while, and all the women who knew each other had already come together, and they all took the men to the other side to sit down, but they got together and laughed. Since coming to this era, Li Yi has found that the women in this era, whether in terms of dressing up or dealing with people, have followed the trend of free and unrestrained in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and they are quite unrestrained and free.

And in this era, daughters have also received enough attention from men, although it is not enough to hold up half the sky, but it is enough to give men a headache.
