The black canopy boat is in front, the bamboo canopy boat is behind, the two boats have entered the Minjiang River downstream, the water flow is suddenly much greater, the boat is also accelerated, the Xiahou tassel and Lihu and others who follow on the shore also urge the horse to go fast, and the golden retriever Lulu was hugged by Lihu on the horse's back to rest.

It was late at night, Princess Qingle held her cheeks in her hand, she couldn't sit still, she was very tired from the long journey, but it was a world of difference from being escorted on the road by Seng Jing a few days ago, and she was in a much more comfortable mood, she hadn't taken this kind of boat yet, listening to the heavy flowing water outside the cabin, watching Cousin Xuan smile and talk in the dim yellow light, she felt very warm, stretched her waist coquettishly, and said, "Cousin Xuan, I'm sleepy." She lay on her side, her head resting on Fang Cha's lap, her eyes fluttering towards Zhou Xuan, thinking that it would be good if she fell asleep on Cousin Xuan's legs.

The mattress on the bamboo canopy boat has a delicate pattern and a soft texture, which was moved from the carriage, and the carriage was still parked by the monk Jingquan and others at the foot of the Xuefeng Mountain, and was brought by the head of the mountain, and now the carriage was abandoned on the bank of the river, and I don't know which villager is cheaper.

Princess Qingle's lilac long skirt is ironed with a round and jade *, showing off her neck and long legs, thin waist and hips, and lying on her side Zhou Xuan is not the first time to see it, every time it is so tempting, I don't feel it when I hold it in my arms the night before, and now it seems that it is really a natural stunner and a seductive soul.

The two little girls of cumin and Fang Xiu also staggered, and cumin said in a daze: "Uncle, cumin serves my aunt to rest, right?" ”

This bamboo canopy boat can sleep with four people, but it is too much to sleep with Princess Qingle and the two little girls like this, Zhou Xuan sat on the bow of the boat and chatted with the four idiots, talking about Go, crickets and tea ceremony.

The four idiots asked, "Master." So where did the Snow Pig Prince catch a greenback cricket? ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It was caught when I was resting on the shore a few days ago, this guy's luck is really not ordinary, second only to me." ”

The four idiots said: "We didn't even catch a yellow-backed cricket this year, and last year we were lucky to catch a black-backed insect with the strength of a major general or above." I can't touch it! ”

Zhou Xuandao: "Now is the most active period for crickets, you should be able to catch good insects, I promised you, you must catch fierce insects above the rank of lieutenant general, and win the championship in the insect war of the five countries of Xingwangfu." ”

The fourth idiot remembered the gambling contract between her and Zhou Xuan, and asked, "If the master really wins the Five Kingdoms Insect War Leader, what do you want me to promise you?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Let's not talk about it first, I am now handsome, I have no generals under my command, and I have no bottom in my heart." ”

The four idiots muttered, "Anyway, if you make too many bets." I won't promise you either. ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "We are like brothers, even if I go too far, it's for your good." ”

Suddenly, Fei Qing, who was in charge of the canopy boat in front of him, asked loudly: "Zhou Jun-Zhou Keguan, Gushan is not far from here, about ten miles of waterway, do I still want to go to Gushan?" ”

Zhou Xuanying said: "Of course I want to go." ”

Ten miles of waterway, smooth wind and water, it does not take half an hour to arrive, two ships on the north bank of the Min River in a flat sandy land, not a while. Xiahou Tassel and others also arrived.

At this time, it was about the early hours of the morning. The bright moon is slanting to the west, the sky and the earth are hazy, looking north, the blue-black mountain shadow of the Drum Mountain ten miles away is lush and quiet.

Xiahou Tassel approached and asked, "Childe, why stop the boat?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Tassel, you get on the boat to rest, and I will go to Gushan with the fourth child to have a look." ”

Xiahou tassel said: "I'll accompany my son." ”

The four idiots said: "Master, let's wait until dawn to go, ride a horse at night, and you will be questioned when you meet Wu Yuebing." ”

Zhou Xuan thought about it. Then he beckoned to all the people on the shore: "All of you dismount and rest." He asked Fei Qing from the neighboring ship: "Fei Zhonglang, do you still have roe deer meat?" ”

Fei Qingdao: "There are still more than ten catties of roe deer meat, but it is raw. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Let Shopkeeper Liu cook meat." ”

Fei Qingdao: "My shopkeeper is asleep. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Call him up, this is his specialty cooking, and if others cook it, he will be displeased." ”

Fei Qing had no choice but to wake up His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Snow Pig Prince heard that Zhou Keguan asked him to get up and cook roe meat. I got up in a hurry. Haha laughed and said: "Officer Zhou, guest officers, please wait." Look at the craftsmanship of the shopkeeper. ”

Zhou Xuan jumped on the riverbank, found a place to pee, saw the four idiots walking far away, and came back after a while, and said in his heart: "It's hard enough for the fourth woman to dress up as a man, by the way, doesn't she come to the tide every month?" Cultivated to the realm of slaying the red dragon? ”

The three Qingyuan warriors on the canopy boat also carried Xiahou Yun ashore, Xiahou Tassel went to talk to his father, Xiahou Yun ignored it, and only said: "Tassel, you can do it yourself." ”

Xiahou Tassel didn't dare to say anything, but only knelt beside his father, feeling faintly uneasy.

The fragrance of roe deer meat began to waft, and the snow pig prince stood at the bow of the boat and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the meat is cooked, please taste it, and the guest officer Zhou will invite you first." Scooped a bowl with his own hands and asked Fei Qing to send it to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan took the bowl of roe deer meat to Xiahou Yun, handed it to Xiahou Tassel, and said: "Lord Yuezhang, no one can solve Seng Jingquan's point ** technique, I have wronged Lord Yuezhang, it will be fine in a few hours - tassels, you come to wait." ”

Xiahou Yun suddenly spoke: "Zhou Xuan-" This is the first time that Xiahou Yun has not been called a "kid surnamed Zhou".

Zhou Xuan hurriedly responded: "What do you have to say to Lord Yue?" ”

Xiahou Yun looked at the daughter who looked at the pottery bowl, sighed, and said: "Treat the tassel well, the tassel has no mother since childhood, I am a rough man who is a father, how can I take care of the child, the tassel has suffered with me!" ”

When Xiahou Tassel heard his father's words, he was overjoyed, and his father finally agreed that she was with Zhou Gongzi, and said: "Daddy loves his daughter, and his daughter has never felt bitter. ”

Zhou Xuan solemnly said: "Lord Yue, don't worry, the son-in-law will definitely treat the tassel well, besides, how dare I bully the tassel." She's whipping her legs so bad. ”

Xiahou Tassel smiled shyly, looked at his father, but did not smile, just nodded.

After eating the roe deer meat, Zhou Xuan took a woolen blanket from the boat. Spread on a big stone by the river, bend the humerus and lie high, listen to the river and the sound of insects, the words are happy and flying, and shout: "Tassel, come, I have a new word to read to you." ”

Xiahou Tassel looked at his father, and Xiahou Yun smiled and said, "Go ahead, marry your husband." ”

Xiahou Tassel was ashamed and said coquettishly: "Daddy also makes fun of his daughter." The daughter ignored her father. With that, Ying Ying got up, pouted, and glared back at her father as she walked.

Xiahou Yun smiled on his face, his heart was extremely heavy, his hands were propped on the ground, as long as he wanted, he could jump up now.

Zhou Xuan saw Xiahou tassel coming over, and laughed softly: "Tassel." Your dad changed his mind so quickly! ”

Xiahou Tassel frowned: "Childe doesn't believe my father?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "How could it be. I feel that the emotional power of the world is great, the strongest and sharpest, can change everything, the feelings of the five Lun, the monarch, the father and son, the brothers, the husband and wife, the friends, I think the monarch and the minister are the lightest, what the country's righteousness, that is the most broad, I just want my family, my friends to live well, of course. Many times, home and country are linked, so I have to reluctantly come to this long road to the South Han Dynasty. Xiahou Tassel knelt beside Zhou Xuan, listened to his talk, and smiled: "But my father said that the monarch and the minister are the most important-

Zhou Xuan said: "Is Chen Si'an a king, but he is just a warlord." However, Lord Yuezhang seems to have enlightened. Loving his daughter and son-in-law is better than being foolish and loyal to Chen Si'an. ”

Xiahou Tassel got her father's consent that she was with Zhou Xuan, and she was in a very happy mood. swept a strand of scattered sideburns to the back of his head, and asked: "Didn't Childe say that he got a new word, read it to the tassel, the tassel loves Childe's poems the most - has Childe crossed his hand?" ”

Zhou Xuan's old face flushed, and he said in his heart: "What kind of hand do I fork, it's just that I just remember a word that is appropriate to the situation, if I don't chant in vain, how can I Zhou Qicha have no new works for several months, and live up to my reputation as the second genius of the Tang Kingdom!" said: "It's crossed, you listen to me, this is another "Water Tune Song Head", which is also a Mid-Autumn Festival-"

Zhou Xuanlang groaned: "The sound of the anvil is urgent, and the crickets are thinking about high autumn." I'm here to face the scene, and I don't learn from Song Yu to relieve my sorrows. Cleaning up the bleak situation, sharing the honorable records, I feel very quiet. Since there is a lot of affection, the bright moon hangs in the south building. Sorrowful, horizontal jade flute, rhyme. On a good night, borrow me here to pour gold. Lovely day's scenery, leaning on the fence to do twelve, the universe is like a float. Drunk and sleepy, I don't know how to wake up, and I lie on my pillow. ”

There are quite nondescript things in the words, where did you come to the South Building? Where did the jade flute come from? What are the twelve columns? But since the poet is good at making lies, he also thinks that he is a high-rise building, and he drinks the ground in white water and writes it into a poem to become a fine wine, so Xiahou Tassel can only praise with joy and sincerely admire the genius of the son.

Zhou Xuandao: "Don't call me Gongzi in the future, call Xuanlang, come, try to scream." ”

Xiahou tassel said coyly: "The tassel can't be called." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Whoever said it, you are very good at screaming." The tip of his eyebrows was raised, revealing a sneering smile of an open thrush.

Xiahou Tassel was stunned for a moment, and then he woke up, and he could see the blush under the moon, and said coquettishly: "Childe bullies others-"

Zhou Xuan said: "Then you call me-"

Xiahou tassel looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Xuanlang-" The voice was trembling, like a pipe, and the woman's emotional low call was really reverberatory, and she couldn't stop hovering.

Zhou Xuan held her hand and said, "When you get to the coast of Zhangzhou, you get off the boat and wait for me in Jiangzhou." ”

Xiahou Tassel said resolutely: "No, I want to accompany my son-Xuanlang to the Southern Han Dynasty, and go back together." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "If you want to go, there should be no danger here." ”

The two shook hands and whispered, and they didn't feel sleepy, and their feelings were strong until the East was white.

The four idiots came over and said, "Master, let's go to Drum Mountain." ”

Zhou Xuandao: Tell everyone to stand by in place, no matter whether Lin Ji arrives or not, he and the four idiots will come back at noon and continue to hurry.

Princess Qingle woke up and shouted, "Cousin Xuan, you have to go too." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's okay, if you paint your face as black as the bottom of the pot, I'll take you there." ”

"Why?" Princess Qingle stroked her white and tender face, she cherished her appearance very much.

Zhou Xuan said: "No, stay for me." Don't make trouble for me, don't you think I'm hard enough! ”

Zhou Xuan rode "Shine on the Night Jade Flower Skull", the four idiots rode the "Crane in the Clouds", and the two of them looked at the Drum Mountain.

After walking for seven or eight miles, I saw a large area of camphor trees, maple trees, cedar trees, masson pine, osmanthus and tabula fir trees at the foot of the mountain. Verdant, fiery red, the mountains are gorgeous and colorful, looking at the cliff from afar, there are many cliff stone carvings, some words are the size of the abbot, even Zhou Xuan's myopic eye can be distinguished.

There is a mountain pavilion at the foot of the drum mountain, there are vendors selling tea and various flavor snacks, Zhou Xuan and the four idiots led the horse to turn around at the foot of the mountain, at this time the time has not arrived, except for the early hawkers. I didn't see any other tourists, so the two of them sat in front of the snack stall and ate Xinghua noodles and Dingbian paste, which had a unique flavor and cost 50 yuan.

From a distance, I saw an ox cart coming on a wheel, and the four idiots were sharp-eyed, and said happily: "The driving place is a long mountain." ”

Zhou Xuan got up to greet him, and the chief of the mountain also saw Zhou Xuan and the others, and was overjoyed, and turned around and said something in the carriage. The bullock cart stopped. A beautiful woman got down from the ox cart, a pale green narrow-sleeved shirt, a small tufted brocade skirt, a silk belt waist, a high mustache decorated with a walking flower, her eyebrows were picturesque, her face was dazzling, especially the eyes, it was really a god of autumn water.

Zhou Xuan was stunned, who is this? Haven't seen it! When I saw the beautiful woman in her skirt coming quickly, she walked gracefully like an ordinary Han woman. It looks like a mountain elk, jumping lightly.

"Ah, Panda Patriarch!"

Zhou Xuan was overjoyed, strode up to meet him, and said with a smile: "I can't even recognize the patriarch's makeup like this." ”

Pan Yujiao smiled and groaned: "Zhou Jungong, is my dress beautiful?" ”

The Sanha woman is straightforward. Zhou Xuan glanced at it a few more times. Praise: "Beautiful, dangerously beautiful!" ”

Pan Yujiao's beautiful eyes squinted at Zhou Xuan. Ask: "Beauty is beauty, why is it dangerous?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "A big beauty like Patriarch Pan is too eye-catching, isn't it dangerous? ”

Pan Yujiao smiled and said, "The county prince is praising me!" Jungong, where is your Miss Xiahou? ”

Zhou Xuan said: "On the boat by the river." ”

Pan Yujiao said: "The county prince is really a good skill, and he even has a beautiful woman in Qingyuan." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I'm ashamed, I almost got involved with the Pan patriarch, the Pan patriarch will go with me, and go to Zhangzhou with me to see the Pan Yujiao Pan patriarch." ”

Pan Yujiao's face was slightly red, and she said, "Don't blame the county prince, I didn't mean to hide it from the county prince-

Zhou Xuan said: "It's a little distrustful of me at first, right, it's okay, I should be so cautious, the patriarch hasn't had breakfast yet, I'll treat you, invite the patriarch to eat Dingbian paste, it's the pot." ”

Pan Yujiao followed Zhou Xuan back to the food stall, and Pan Shanchang took the other three people who came out of nowhere to eat at another stall.

Zhou Xuan looked at it, the three people, one woman and two men, were Pan Yujiao's personal guards, originally there were four, and now there are three left, asked Pan Yujiao, Pan Yujiao said lightly: "That one is dead, not all the way." ”

Zhou Xuan understood that the female guard of Shanha who died was a spy.

A few people waited at the foot of Drum Mountain for more than an hour, but did not see any trace of Lin Ji and others, and asked the nearby vendors, have there been guests from afar in the near future? They all said no.

Pan Yujiao had already heard Zhou Xuan talk about the matter of Zhizhi removing Seng Jingquan, and was also preparing to occupy the sea ships of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian anchored at the mouth of the Min River, so he said: "The county prince doesn't have to wait, Qian Weiyan already knows that you and I and Princess Qingle are near Fuzhou, and they are sending troops to search everywhere, we can't stay here for a long time, we must go to sea as soon as possible, I asked Panshan Chang to stay here and wait for the subordinates of the county prince's scattered land, and I will help them leave Fuzhou safely." ”

Zhou Xuan also knew that the situation was urgent, although the threat of Seng Jingquan was lifted, but once Wu Yue appeared, it would be even worse, and he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, then let's go." "I bought some xiaolongbao and went back to Princess Qingle to eat.

Pan Yujiao summoned the chief of Panshan, told a few words, then got on the ox cart, took three guards, and followed Zhou Xuan and the four idiots to the boat berthing by the Min River, and saw Xiahou Yun's father and daughter and the five warriors of Qingyuan, both of whom were a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xuan said: "Everyone will be ministers of the same palace in the future, and we must live in harmony." ”

Pan Yujiao respectfully worshiped Princess Qingle on the bamboo canopy boat, and Tang Emperor Li Yu sealed Pan Yujiao's title as the Marquis of Longyan County, from the fourth grade, which is far worse than the second grade of Zhou Xuandi.

Princess Qingle knew that she could get out of danger this time, and this Pan Yujiao played a key role, so she also respected Pan Yujiao very much, and said that when she returned to Jinling, she would ask her father to reward Pan Yujiao.

Pan Yujiao thanked her, but said in her heart: "Isn't the princess going to marry the Southern Han Dynasty, why did she go back to Jinling to ask for a reward for me?" The prince of the Southern Han Dynasty was on the boat in front. ”

Now the team is very strong, a total of twenty-two people, some people are still on the shore by boat, some people on horseback.

The two ships had just left the shore when they suddenly heard a Qingyuan warrior on the black canopy ship shouting, "Where is Lord Xiahou?" Where is Lord Xiahou? ”

Zhou Xuan was taken aback, and hurriedly stood on the bow of the boat and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The two Qingyuan warriors on the black canopy boat panicked and said, "Lord Xiahou is gone!" ”

A Qingyuan warrior on the shore who was leading a horse also shouted: "Lord Xiahou's mount is also gone!" ”

Zhou Xuan shouted: "Stop the boat!" Stop the boat! Jumping onto the river bank with Xiahou tassels, the four idiots hurriedly followed.

When they returned to the place where they had anchored the boat, they saw a few lines left on the sand:

"Tassel, you save Zhou Xuan, I can't bear to blame you for my father, but my Xiahou family has been protected by Chen Du for two generations, how can I betray Qingyuan and join the Tang Dynasty! Tassel, you go with Zhou Xuan, and return to Qingyuan for your father to protect Chen Du. ”

"Daddy-" Xiahou Tassel cried bitterly.

Zhou Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, this father-in-law is too stupid and loyal, isn't he looking for guilt when he goes back like this? said: "Tassel, get on the horse, let's go chase your daddy back!" ”

Xiahou Tassel said: "No, Daddy has made up his mind, and he can't chase back the land." The thought in my heart was: "Xuanlang is not out of danger, if you go to chase my father at this time, it will be bad if you meet Wu Yueren, my father is stubborn, and he thinks that it is difficult to recover." ”

As soon as Xiahou Yun left, the five Qingyuan warriors were uneasy, and they wanted to sneak back to Quanzhou City to move their families and flee, but now that Xiahou Yun went back to bear the guilt, wouldn't their surrender be revealed!

Zhou Xuan is a very careful person, how can he not know the thoughts of these Qingyuan warriors, and said: "You don't have to panic, since you have surrendered, I will keep your family safe, and I ask you, how many days did you travel from Quanzhou to Fuzhou when you came?" ”

Someone replied, "Five days." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Route 6 is difficult, why do you need three days to get to Quanzhou by sea, you can go ashore in Quanzhou and move your family out before my father-in-law returns to Quanzhou." ”

The five Qingyuan warriors looked happy, and they were a little relieved.

Pan Yujiao said: "There are still forty miles from the mouth of the sea here, and it will not take two hours to arrive, but I am afraid that the sea ships of the eight countries of Zhongtian will not be there." ”

Xi Erniang hurriedly said: "Those who are here, who dares to disobey the arrangement arranged by the national teacher, said that they will not leave until the end of August." ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "Who is in charge of the sea ship here, do you recognize it?" Xi Erniang said: "I recognize, it is led by the captain of Yanzhai, and we have all met since the time of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian, and this captain of Yanzhai is Yan Qingdi's younger brother." ”

"Which Yan Qing?"

"That's it, the one who died in the pit."

Everyone continued to advance in the water 6, and the road was smooth, and they did not meet the Wu Yue sergeant to investigate, and came to the Minjiang River into the sea in the afternoon

Along the way, Xiahou Tassel never spoke, leaning on the porthole and looking at the rushing river, tears dripping into the river one by one.

Zhou Xuan comforted: "Tassels, don't worry, when we get to Zhangzhou, we will find a way, we will definitely not let your father suffer, believe me." ”

Xiahou Tassel nodded, but he had already made up his mind in his heart.
