Invited by Wu Qingyi, Qin Zhongshu was overjoyed for a while, but when he sat down, he was worried in his heart, and he couldn't guess for a while whether he was wrong about Xu Ruyu's measurements, or Xu Ruyu had ulterior motives.

I couldn't talk to others about all kinds of doubts in my heart, sitting there, my eyes stopped on the shining lake, thoughtful, and I didn't have a dejected posture of Wu Qingyi's peerless face.

Wu Qingyi was able to meet Wu Cheng in Jiangning, and the sad heart of being scattered in a foreign country gave birth to a little warmth. The fall of Tsing Yi City, Wu Qingyi did not blame Wu Cheng, and remembered Wu Cheng's love for serving in the past. Wu Cheng was a little afraid of Wu Qingyi, but Qin Zhongshu tried his best to instigate him from the side.

Wu Qingyi was used to seeing the appearance of a man who was depressed for him, and Qin Zhongshu had a bad impression on her at the beginning, but he was not particularly disgusted. Qin Zhongshu is clever and eloquent, and when they meet each other every night, Wu Qingyi doesn't feel bored with him. Qin Zhongshu Xuancheng said that the war was not widely rumored among the people, but the families who paid attention to Jiangning had heard of it, and Yuan Xun, who was suffering from not being able to get close to Jiangning, was overjoyed when he saw Qin Zhongshu at first sight, but when he saw that Qin Zhongshu was as virtuous as Yuan Gongchen and others, he felt a little contemptuous in his heart.

Wu Qingyi likes local customs, and good small skills, Qin Zhongshu likes it, and every time he talks, he picks up topics such as the differences in the production of silk shoes in various parts of the Yangtze River, the production process of ancient and modern bronze jian, and Yuan Xun's heart despises it more and more. Wu Qingyi, Wu Cheng, Qin Zhongshu, and Feng Ge'er got together, and Yuan Xun accompanied each other at the beginning, so many times, he felt that he had lost his dignity as a general of Nanping to listen to these words of the boudoir, and he was unwilling to accompany the last seat.

Yuan Xun is here, Qin Zhongshu is like a mang on his back, and he can't play four points with ten eloquence; Yuan Gongchen was very distressed by this.

Yuan Gongchen saw Wu Qingyi at first glance above the river, and the three souls and six spirits that were barely retracted flew into the clouds together. It's just that Yuan Xun is on the side, and it is difficult for Yuan Gongchen to have a chance to step forward and entangle. Now that Yuan Xun no longer travels with Wu Qingyi, Yuan Gongchen is looking for an opportunity to meet her in every possible way. It's just that the mission is full of Yuan Xun's subordinates, and Yuan Gongchen can't send anyone to investigate, thinking that Wu Qingyi has a good diet and a famous building, and he can't take care of the official affairs of Jiang Ning, so he only goes to the famous building in Jiang Ning to wait for the rabbit.

Yuan Gongchen saw Wu Qingyi, Qin Zhongshu and others stepping into Sangbo Pavilion, his heart was rough and rough as if he was stuffed with a mess of grass, and he was happy and envious of the few young people who were talking and laughing freely on Wu Qingyi's side, smelling the faint fragrance in the air at the end of his nose, and his eyes were so wet that they seemed to be dripping water.

Qin Zhongshu and Yuan Gongchen's eyes met, and he was taken aback, and said secretly: His eyes are so silver, he is a fellow believer.

Wu Cheng recognized Yuan Gongchen and whispered to Qin Zhongshu: "He is the envoy of Nanping." ”

Rong Yanmen can open the door of Chengdu and Chongqing, and Yuan Gongchen should be regarded as the first credit. Qin Zhongshu peeked at Wu Qingyi's brows, and the look of disgust on his face was revealed. Although Qin Zhongshu didn't know the twists and turns, he could also feel the filthiness inside Nanping, and Wu Qingyi made the situation more subtle.

Qin Zhongshu vaguely saw a vague and unclear vein, and said secretly: Does Xu Ruyu plan to use Wu Qingyi as a calculator?

Wu Qingyi has been in and out of Li Gonglin's mansion very frequently, if it were not for the personal instructions of the Jiangning authorities and even Xu Ruyu, Li Gonglin would have been too prosperous. Why did Wu Qingyi appear in the Nanping Mission, but what was Rong Yanmen's intention?

Qin Zhongshu did not enter the core layer of Jiangning after all, and there was no complete military intelligence system to provide him with enough detailed information, and the twists and turns were that he couldn't think through even if he racked his brains.

But Wu Qingyi is in Jiangning, and her fate is determined by Xu Ruyu alone.

After going south for a few months, Qin Zhongshu knew in his heart that the only one who could really compete with Xu Ruyu in the world was only two or three sons, and although Jiangning was a newly rising force, its strength was beyond doubt.

Xu Ruyu wants to use Wu Qingyi as a calculating eye, Wu Qingyi's sad and sad fate can be predicted, but no one can reverse this here and now, Qin Zhongshu looked at Wu Qingyi's merciful jade face, his heart was broken, and the pain was irrepressible. That overflowing longing instantly turned into infinite love.

From the moment the name card was thrown out of Qingfeng Mansion, Qin Zhongshu knew that his fate was not in his own hands, but he didn't care about this at all. But the world is so big, how can there be a place that Xu Ruyu and Rong Yanmen can't influence?

The four people around the seat had their own thoughts, and the wine at the table was tasteless, and there was no conversation, and the banquet dispersed at the end. In normal times, Qin Zhongshu would send Wu Qingyi back to the post house with Wu Cheng, at this time, he was very worried, when Wu Qingyi and Wu Cheng were born, Qin Zhongshu's gaze had not yet been withdrawn from the gloomy lake. Feng Ge'er half-bowed, twisted and looked out the window, only to see the flourishing lights on the shore reflected in the black satin-like lake, and saw that Qin Zhongshu had no idea of getting up, so he sat down again.

Wu Qingyi and Wu Cheng went downstairs, and Qin Zhongshu came back to his senses and said, "The girl in Tsing Yi has returned to the post house?" ”

Feng Ge'er nodded, and said, "Why don't you go back to Mr. Kou and think about it in the long run?" ”

Qin Zhongshu shook his head and sighed, and said, "It's a foregone conclusion, and it's irretrievable." ”

Wu Cheng drove the car very steadily, Wu Qingyi sat on his knees in the carriage and did not feel a sense of jolting, leaning on the wall of the carriage, through the heavy screen window, looking at the lights and figures on the side of the road thoughtfully.

Tsing Yi City is broken, Yuan Gongchen is forced to fight, Wu Tsing Yi once had a will to live and die, but it is not for the reputation of the Wu family. For a woman who has never been able to control her own fate, although there is the fear of death, there is also the horror of life.

Wu Qingyi also knew that her heart was not strong, and she had extravagant thoughts about this world, Rong Sifu sent her to Rong Yanmen's side, and the death will in her heart was even lighter, but she didn't know where to go. Rong Yanmen's deep eyes gave Wu Qingyi a hollow feeling. Thinking about it like this, I feel that Rong Yanmen is a little pitiful. Wu Qingyi felt a little ridiculous that he had such a thought, but he couldn't help but feel so.

has been on Rong Yanmen's side for nearly four months, and if it has been like this, he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. However, Rong Yanmen allowed himself to come to Jiangning with the envoys. When Wu Qingyi first came to Jiangning, he was curious, Jiangning's prosperity may not be as good as Rongcheng's, but there is something different from other places behind Jiangning's prosperity. The heart that was as silent as ashes made the thing behind it suddenly touch, and it jumped vividly.

Wu Qingyi didn't know what it was, but he clearly knew that it did exist, which seemed to be very similar to the vague extravagance in his heart.

When leaving Yuzhou, Rong Yanmen promised that Wu Qingyi would decide to stay at his own discretion. Before Wu Qingyi came to Jiangning, he didn't think carefully about the possibility of staying in Jiangning, but after arriving in Jiangning, his silent heart came alive, but the idea of staying in Jiangning was stronger than another.

Wu Qingyi leaned against the wall of the carriage, recalling the costumed beauty she met in Li Gonglin's mansion. Wu Qingyi was very conceited, and at first glance he saw the costumed beauty who was studying painting on Li Gonglin's side, and he was also dazzled. Li Gonglin was very respectful to her, if it weren't for the fact that she was still dressed as a girl, Wu Qingyi suspected that she was Xu Ruyu's wife and concubine. The age seems to be younger than herself, and the grace and elegance of the lady who was raised by the family are also sighing to herself, her eyes are clear, and she sees people as if she is clear, but she has a slight sense of fierceness, and the wild spirit that is unconsciously revealed at the end of her eyes is the most exciting temperament.

Although Li Gonglin said that she happened to study painting at home, Wu Qingyi felt that she came to run for herself. Wu Qingyi said secretly: Whose woman is she?

That stroke seemed to exhaust all the strength of his body, Li Gonglin took a few steps back, standing in front of the long case, the red tide on his face was a little fleeting, but the slight gasp showed that the stroke just now did consume a lot of energy.

The deep eyes had a star-like luster, and Li Gonglin looked at it in a daze, as if he was stunned by these magical eyes.

"It's too quiet."

Shao Ruyan turned her head to look, but saw Xu Ruyu and Chen Ang walking in side by side, and Fan Wenlong walking behind the two.

Li Gonglin had never seen Chen Ang, but he also knew that Chen Ang secretly arrived in Jiangning to congratulate Xu Ruyu on his son, and when he saw the person with a clear face on Xu Ruyu's side, he knew that it was Chen Ang, and stepped forward to salute the two.

Xu Ruyu smiled, turned his face to look at Danqing spread on the long case, and said softly: "These eyes are a little silent. Stretched out his hand to hold the end of the scroll, gently lifted it, rolled it into a bunch, held it flat with his left hand, looked at Li Gonglin with a smile, and said, "Give me this Danqing?" ”

Li Gonglin's eyes fell on the painting scroll in Xu Ruyu's left hand, and he looked at it speechlessly for a while, but sighed and said: "It's okay to let the adults take it, Gonglin stays by his side, I'm afraid that he won't have the courage to lift the pen anymore." He added, "Wu Qingyi seems to be intending to stay in Jiangning. ”

Xu Ruyu nodded and said, "It should be so." ”

Li Gonglin was taken aback and said, "My lord thinks that Wu Qingyi has ulterior motives. ”

Xu Ruyu laughed and said, "What do you have ulterior motives for me and Rong Yanmen, what do you have to do with Wu Qingyi?" ”

Li Gonglin stood with his hands down, not daring to respond. Although Li Gonglin is also a powerful figure in Jiangning, he has not yet been qualified to participate in the decision-making, Xu Ruyu does not ask questions, and it is inconvenient for Hairpin Yue to speak on Wu Qingyi.

Although Li Gonglin has a true surname, he has experienced changes in the world and knows convergence. In his heart, he was worried about Wu Qingyi's fate.

Shao Ruyan listened to Xu Ruyu's words, smiled skillfully, and said, "Are you willing to stay in Jiangning?" ”

Chen Ang sighed lightly and floated outside; Xu Ruyu's eyes swept over the scroll in his left hand, and said to Shao Ruyan: "Mr. Shao is on duty in the mansion today, you can go back with Wenlong." I went for a walk around the city with my godfather. ”

Shao Ruyan heard Chen Ang sigh and leave, but when Xu Ruyu's decision was repeated, she looked at Xu Ruyu in a daze and was unwilling to leave. Xu Ruyu chuckled and said, "It's not what you think." Although Rong Yanmen lost a son, how could Jiang Ning decide accordingly by the chess pieces? ”

Li Gonglin said secretly: Rong Yanmen allowed Wu Qingyi to come to Jiangning, and he did hide a sharp edge.

Shao Ruyan said: "Rong Yanmen is aggressive, Jiang Ning can also retreat?" ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Rong Yanmen uses a plan, and there is no gap in the left and right circles, how can I respond?" If you respond, you will be at a disadvantage. ”

Shao Ruyan was puzzled, Xu Ruyu saw Li Gonglin smile, bowed slightly, and floated out of the door.

Shao Ruyan turned her face to look at Li Gonglin and asked, "Does General Li know what kind of sharp edge he is talking about?" ”

Li Gonglin hugged Fan Wenlong and said, "General Fan, why don't you use the Bo banquet in the mansion and then go back?" ”

Li Gonglin showed goodwill, how could Fan Wenlong push back, and said: "Tomorrow at noon, I, Wenlong, will come to disturb again, and Lord Shao is waiting for Miss Ruyan in the house." When Xu Ruyu left, he said that Fan Wenlong would personally escort Shao Ruyan back to the mansion, but it was inconvenient to send another person, so Li Gonglin made a clear agreement with Fan Wenlong to send Fan Wenlong and Shao Ruyan outside the mansion.

Wu Qingyi and Wu Cheng left, and Feng Ge'er invited Qin Zhongshu to find Kou Zichan to discuss again. Qin Zhongshu knew that if Xu Ruyu was obsessed, Kou Zichan would not be able to reverse it. Because of Xu Ruyu's trust and Kou Zichan's guiding role in Jiangning's decision-making of Hulan, Kou Zichan's influence in Jiangning's political structure is far from being comparable with Shao Haitang and Mei Tierui. If Kou Zichan had a dispute with Xu Ruyu because of his own affairs, it would be extremely unfavorable to him.

When he came out of Qingfeng Mansion, Qin Zhongshu heard the halberd warrior say that Xu Ruyu reprimanded Kou Zichan in front of everyone in the hall, if it was not bad as expected, Kou Zichan would not have the opportunity to contact Feng Ge'er with him.

Qin Zhongshu looked at Brother Feng'er's rough and dark face, and said secretly: Follow Kou Zichan, Brother Feng has a good future, even if he doesn't want to make a difference, he can spend his life safely, so why should he be involved anymore.

Qin Zhongshu took off his waist pouch and said, "Brother Feng, you go and fill the pouch with wine, and then you can go back, I think Mr. Kou is waiting for you." ”

Feng Ge'er muttered, took the wine skin bag, reached out and twisted the money bag tied to his belt, and went downstairs to the wine shop to get the wine. Qin Zhongshu took the wine skin bag and said, "Let's go." "Don't count Brother Feng, go downstairs to bypass Sambo Pavilion, and walk towards the lake embankment.

Feng Ge'er stood on the road where Sangbo Pavilion went and looked at it for a while, until he couldn't distinguish Qin Zhongshu in the night, and then patted his head and left.

The southeast shore of Sangbo Lake is not far from the city, where the lake and mountains reflect each other, the scenery is pleasant, and there are many deep mansions outside the lake embankment. Qin Zhongshu carried his skin bag and stood on the embankment of the lake, looking at the faint lights swaying in the deep house under the embankment. There are many fishing boats on the lake, and the lights on the boats are reflected in the water. Qin Zhongshu took advantage of the glimmer and walked thoughtfully on the lake embankment.

There is water flowing into Sangbo Lake, a stone bridge lies on it, Qin Zhongshu rises the steps, and a fishing boat drills out of the bridge hole and sails towards the lake. There were no sails raised, no oars were swaying, the boat was moving wave by wave, and there were no lights on the boat, and two figures at the bow of the boat could be vaguely seen holding lamps opposite each other.

Qin Zhongshu's eyes were full of envy, he raised the wine skin bag in his hand, and said loudly: "I have Pingcheng autumn dew, can I drink it on the boat?" ”

Hearing the sound, the boat stopped, and when the people on the boat did not move, the fishing boat leaned towards the shore against the waves. Qin Zhongshu was shocked: Jiangning is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. Quickly stepped off the stone bridge, and was about to step towards the bow of the boat, and at that moment, he suddenly saw that one of them was Xu Ruyu.

Qin Zhongshu was startled, his feet stretched out halfway, and he stepped down three inches away from the side of the ship, and under the horror, his body went to the download, and when his body sank a little, he felt that he was stepping on the ground, and he felt strange in his heart, and he wanted to look down, only to feel a suction force grabbing himself and dragging him to the boat.

As soon as Qin Zhongshu stood still, the boat slowly sailed towards the center of the lake from the shore.

Xu Ruyu didn't care about Qin Zhongshu's panic, he took the wine skin sac from his hand, pulled the stopper and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and said, "If it's really Pingcheng autumn dew, how about a drink?" ”

The man sitting with his back to Qin Zhongshu stretched out his right hand holding the cup, asked Xu Ruyu to pour him wine, took a sip, and said, "It's just that there are no Zehu crabs." ”

Wanling along the Huaishui to the east is the town of Yuza Army, and then the east near the sea is Pingyi, also known as Pingcheng. Pingyi produces fine wine, its name is "Pingcheng Autumn Dew", the surname is Lie, ranking first in the world. Zehu crabs, fat and beautiful in the world, among them, with belly custard, back green claws blunt for the best, there is a saying "wine crab fat reunion", it refers to the autumn dew of Pingcheng and Zehu crab.

Qin Zhongshu guessed who the tall and broad person was, made up his mind, bowed with a long bow, and said, "Kid Qin Zhongshu has seen Master Chen. ”

Chen Ang laughed, turned around, and said, "It's a clever character. ”

The night was quite thick, but Qin Zhongshu could see his shining eyes, which contained infinite vitality and gave people a sense of intimacy, and then his clear and thin face was clearly presented in his eyes. When Qin Zhongshu opened his eyes and looked again, everything was hidden in the night, and only a vague outline could be seen.

Only then did Qin Zhongshu know that the reason why he was able to see Xu Ruyu's face on the boat was that Xu Ruyu was willing to let him see it.

Xu Ruyu pointed to his side and motioned for Qin Zhongshu to sit down, filled his cup, handed it to Qin Zhongshu, and said, "You drink with my cup." He reached out to the surface of the water, and when he retracted, he already had a crystal clear ice cup in his hand, and filled himself with a cup, took a sip, and poured another sip.

Qin Zhongshu speculated in his heart about Xu Ruyu's intention of appearing here, and raised his cup to drink.

Xu Ruyu sailed towards the center of the lake with a boat, but avoided other boats. The night was thick, and there were no stars and moons, and the fishing boat paddled quietly on the lake as quiet as the night, and the presence of this fishing boat was not felt elsewhere. The three of them drank wine, Qin Zhongshu was full of thoughts, drank a few arms, and was already three points drunk, but he listened attentively to the conversation between Xu Ruyu and Chen Ang.

Xu Ruyu saw that Qin Zhongshu was already drunk, so he no longer poured wine for him, and only drank with Chen Ang, using the essence of martial arts and the mysteries of heaven to accompany the wine. Qin Zhongshu also studied metaphysics, but the heavenly metaphysics that Xu Ruyu and Chen Ang talked about was realized because of his own cultivation and sublimation, which was more subtle and subtle than what he obtained by sitting and thinking about the mysteries, and it was a truth outside of Qin Zhongshu's experience, so naturally it was not understood by Qin Zhongshu.

After listening to it for a long time, Qin Zhongshu was drowsy, and couldn't help but wonder: Is it really a chance to meet?
