The Yongjun retreated, Zhejiaxing sacrificed his mother, everyone knew it, everyone said that Zhe offered a plan to plunder Wu Yue, and they all blamed him for harming the township. Although the Yongjun was robbed, they did not torture and kill Li Shu, or said that it was the work of philosophy. Jiaxing's fathers and elders feared the Yongjun again, and the wings and flesh returned, not daring to take an inch of Jing's land.

- History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties; The Legend of Jiang Suiyun

Just when the Southern Chu Naval Army and the Dayong Naval Army were facing off at sea, I had already enjoyed the infinite scenery on Zhenze Lake, as the culprit who intensified the situation in Wuyue, I did not have a trace of remorse, the war was already an inevitable end, the more fierce the Wu-Yue war situation was, the more it could divert the attention of the Southern Chu government and the opposition, and it would also facilitate the conduct of the Shuzhong and Xiangyang battles.

Gently shaking the folding fan, sitting in the front cabin of the painting boat, rolling up the bead curtain, ribbon brocade robe, sipping tea, squinting comfortably to enjoy the spring sunshine, I put enough of the panache of the noble son of Nanchu, if it were not for the boat there is no singer and dancer, but it is very like the children of the family of You Chun, I deliberately dyed the gray hair black, and the appearance was slightly modified, so as to avoid being recognized because of the Huafa Zhuyan. Although Wu County has fallen into war, it has not yet affected the state capital around Zhenze Lake, and the harmony of the people of Wu County has also made this place still in peace and happiness. After all, General Lu had already come to Wu Yue, so naturally they didn't have to worry. I lived on the lake for three days, 800 miles of Zhenze, 36,000 hectares of lake, there is a lake in the lake, there are mountains outside the mountain, the spring is bright and bright, the tourists are weaving, and there is no sign that the war is close at hand.

The bead curtain moved lightly, Hu Yanshou walked in, the look on his face was very bad, he walked up to me and bowed down and said: "Childe, don't stay in the dangerous place, and ask Childe to show me, when will we leave?" ”

I raised my head and glanced at him, a smile in my heart, he looked simple and honest, although he had been in a high position for many years, but he was not dyed with a commanding spleen, but his height of nearly eight feet was already very handsome, and his posture was really eye-catching, coupled with his eyes were shining, and his hands were tangled, how to look at it was a majestic general, but he was forced by me to put on the clothes of a domestic servant, which was really a little strange. It's no wonder that Hu Yanshou is the deputy commander of the Tiger Benwei, a dignified first-class general, and he doesn't look like an ordinary servant. Even the five guards he brought, I don't see anything like a domestic servant. But as long as a few of them don't stand together, it's not too conspicuous, although the northland accent is heavier, it is normal to say that they don't speak, and there is always a way to get through. However, if it weren't for Hu Yanshou's one imperial order, I wouldn't want Li Zhen to be dissatisfied with him because of this, so I wouldn't keep him by my side. As for him urging me to hurry, it is not surprising, you must know that the longer I stay in the territory of Nanchu, the heavier his responsibility will be. What's more, when we came to Zhenze Lake this time, we passed by Lu Can on the way, when the Jiujiang Water Camp was in a hurry to go south, I was looking at the ships of the Southern Chu Water Army on the tributaries for a long time, I didn't have anything, but Hu Yanshou was an iron face, lest the Yongjun find out about my existence. It's a pity that although he has good intentions, I can't fulfill him, staying in Zhenze Lake is not for nothing, I am here for nothing.

Smiling and taking a sip of tea, I said lazily: "Huyan, don't be so anxious, it's rare to come to Zhenze Lake, wouldn't it be a pity not to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the East Mountain and the West Mountain, not to mention that now the Southern Chu Army is moving from the Yangtze River to Yuhang, rather than going on the road now and risking the danger of encountering the Southern Chu Army, it is better to wait for a few days, and it is not too late to rush after the waterway is relatively calm." ”

Hu Yanshou was stunned for a moment, and also felt that there was some truth, but it was not appropriate to stay in Chu for too long, thinking that he failed to stop Jiang Zhe's action this time, he would inevitably be questioned after going back, if Jiang Zhe had some accidents, he was afraid that he would not have the face to return to Chang'an, thinking of this and was about to persuade again, there was a sound of pipa on the lake, Qingyue wrapped around mian, and the lake wave, the sound was in the ears.

The sound of the pipa together, my heart is moved, close my eyes and listen carefully, the music such as crying and complaining, such as resentment and admiration is almost close to the ear, telling the endless parting grievances, the way is not exhaustive, a piece of pipa to move people's hearts, a good song of Zhaojun's resentment. Hearing half, I opened my eyes and sighed gently, although Zhaojun's resentment is a parting palace grievance, but it hides the meaning of "thinking of Han". The person who played this song, although he popped up the artistic conception of finger wrapping, but faintly had a generous bearing, and he must be a talented man who was worried about national affairs. Southern Chu is prosperous, between the smoke and water in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know how many handsome heroes, but the Southern Chu court uses poetry and songs to test talents, even if it is a poor scripture, it is inevitable that it will fall into disgrace, and even if it is a career, if there is no family value, there is no possibility of showing talent. Even Lu Can, known for recruiting talents, can't get rid of this influence, and most of the generals and counselors in his army have a continuous relationship with the Lu family. It is not easy to gain a foothold in Nanchu with his own talents, and the holy hand who plays the pipa must also be a person who has no way to serve the country, so he will contain a lot of grief and anger in the song.

Inadvertently glanced at it, but saw Hu Yanshou also standing there and listened attentively, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, when did he appreciate the pipa, but it was rare, my mind turned, I almost laughed, Chenghou Su Qingjing is good at pipa, it is already a well-known thing, Hu Yanshou is her husband, presumably under the influence of the ears and eyes, can also appreciate a thing or two.

At this time, the sound of the pipa changed, but it became fierce and heroic, like an iron horse prominent, the silver bottle was broken, in the sound of the pipa, I only felt that my heart was beating faster, the blood was surging, and the face was suddenly bloodless, the bead curtain flew up, and the little shunzi who was originally in the back cabin suddenly appeared, flew behind me, pressed a palm on my vest, and a wisp of true qi crossed in, and after a while, I breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down. Hu Yanshou was pale, and walked out, obviously to find out the enemy's traces.

Xiao Shunzi's eyes were full of cold light, looking at the direction where the pipa came from, and there was a faint murderous aura around his body, at this time, a man came from the lake and said: "Drunk to pick up the lamp to see the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp." Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield. The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens. ”

I was slightly stunned, this was originally the words I made when I saw Lu Xin training in Jiangxia, and later it was obtained by Prince De, he loved it very much, every time he sang in the army, my style of words is not heroic, but this one is vigorous and vigorous, but since the death of Prince De, I voted for Dayong again, although my poems are still circulating in Southern Chu, but this one is rarely sung, or I think I am not worthy of writing a sentence like "but the king of the world, win the name before and after his death", especially now, I have openly led the army to attack Wu Yue, It is rare that someone dares to sing this song aloud. Thinking of this, the annoyance that was almost taken advantage of by the sound of the piano gradually dissipated.

Before the song ended, Hu Yanshou had already returned to the cabin to report: "Childe, there is a cruise ship three miles away, and the music comes from there." ”

I heard the words and looked out through the bead curtain, with my eyesight, at a glance I saw a small boat without a canopy was rising and falling on the lake, there were only two people on the boat, one was a man in cloth clothes, the other was a Taoist priest with a yellow crown, the Taoist priest held a bamboo pole in his hand, standing in the wind at the stern, his arms were relatively long, but the man was high on the bow of the boat, holding a pipa in his hand, carrying a long sword on his back, and was looking up to say something to the Taoist priest, from my direction I could only see the side of the two, but I could also see that the two of them felt extraordinary. Wu Yue is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, with outstanding people and talents, but it can't be used by Southern Chu. And these two people can shock people's souls with piano songs, if it weren't for Xiao Shunzi's protection, I'm afraid I would have been injured.

Thinking of this, I said excitedly: "Such a character who is both civil and military cannot be seen." As soon as the words fell, before Hu Yanshou could say anything against it, a cold snort had already come from behind me, my body shook, and I turned back to Xiao Shunzi and smiled: "It's not an example, only this once." "Looking at him with a blank eye, I was afraid that he would speak out against it, this time I took a lot of effort to persuade Xiao Shunzi, and all kinds of reasons were placed for a long time, so that Xiao Shunzi reluctantly nodded, but along the way I was also sullen, I stayed in the painting boat, he was always in the back cabin, just fighting with me, otherwise he has always been by my side.

Xiao Shunzi was originally very unhappy in his heart, he didn't want Jiang Zhe to cause trouble again, but when he saw that Gongzi was radiant, his demeanor was even more indulgent, and then he thought that Gongzi was in Yongdu, even if it was a prosperous depth, and he couldn't hide his faint tiredness, only after temporarily getting rid of Hongchen trivial matters could he be so happy, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and sighed: "See it." ”

When I heard this, I was overjoyed, and I ordered Hu Yanshou to go out and give an order, put the painting boat close to the cruise ship, lifted the curtain and walked out of the cabin, and said loudly: "This benevolent brother plays the pipa well, and the Taoist chief sings a song that also shocks the idle gulls and herons in the world. ”

The Huangguan Taoist priest turned his face to look at me, and sneered: "We are poor people, not worthy of being guests of the children of the family, Your Excellency is the ancestral home of Jiaxing, you should know about the robbery of Jiaxing before, but the poor road does not see Your Excellency has a sad and indignant state, but in this mid-spring, frolicking on the lake, it is really a heartless person, such a heartless and unjust, how can you be worthy of talking to us." ”

Hu Yanshou was furious when he heard this, his eyes were blazing and he looked at the Taoist priest, his hands were clenched, and his knuckles made a soft sound, like a tiger about to choose someone to devour. The Taoist priest smiled coldly, and a pair of sharp eyes met Hu Yanshou's gaze without showing weakness, and his body exuded a condensed murderous aura.

The cloth-clothed Confucian frowned slightly, put down the pipa, and also looked at the painting boat, a wisp of sword qi on his body rose to the sky, but it was not converging with the murderous aura of the Taoist priest, but blocking the secret fight between the two, even so, Hu Yanshou was also pale, as if he had been hit hard, but he was resolute, and he often faced the momentum of the grandmaster-level master (Xiao Shunzi's special training), and he did not show weakness at all between his eyebrows, but showed even more hostility. The Taoist priest was hindered by his companion's sword qi, he had always respected this companion, but he was not annoyed, but when he saw that Hu Yanshou could not reduce his might, he admired it in his heart, and his eyebrows eased a lot.

The cloth-clothed Confucian said gently: "Your Excellency, please don't be surprised, my friend's surname is straight, and there are many offenses, but I am a savage in the rivers and lakes, and it is inconvenient to intersect with the wealthy families, please forgive me." The words were gentle, and although there was a hint of alienating rejection, it sounded less harsh.

As he spoke, the cloth-clothed Confucian also looked at the brocade-clothed boy on the painting boat opposite, and secretly explored the origin of this person in his heart. This painting boat is the largest embroidery village in Wuzhou, "embroidery workshop" owned, "embroidery workshop" almost monopolized the Suzhou embroidery in the south of the Yangtze River, the seven disciples of the famous embroidery Gu embroidery mother in Southern Chu, the "embroidery workshop" invited four, the surname of the proprietor of the "embroidery workshop" is unknown, it is only rising in the past ten years, it is said that the owner is just a young man who is less than a year old, and the brocade boy in front of him is not the owner of the embroidery workshop? However, this person looks elegant, behaves freely and freely, although his companions speak ill of each other, the person is not a trace of anger, but his expression reveals the meaning of tolerance and understanding, calm and tranquil, not like a calculating businessman's temperament, and there is no heroic bearing of the owner of the embroidery workshop.

At this time, the brocade-clothed boy smiled slightly, his eyes moved away from the Huangguan Taoist, and turned to the cloth-clothed Confucian priest to look at, the Confucian scholar's heart was shocked, the brocade-clothed man's eyes were a little dim, obviously lacking in spirit, just an ordinary person's appearance, but looking at it intently, he felt that his eyes were as deep as the sea, quiet and cold, and more revealing the tranquil look of seeing through the world. As his gaze wandered, the man's face suddenly became vivid, and with his delicate and fair appearance, it made people feel that it was difficult to distinguish his real age.

This cloth-clothed Confucian was originally an outstanding figure in the martial arts of Southern Chu, with outstanding swordsmanship, full of economy, and resourcefulness, and there were only a few people who could be compared with him in Southern Chu. His far-reaching insight is beyond the reach of ordinary people, looking at each other, but at a glance he has already felt the extraordinaryness of this brocade man, his eyes look around, his companion seems to be unaware, and his face is impatient. The cloth cloth Confucian was more and more shocked in his heart, his companion was much older than himself, and he was full of the world, but he didn't see the true brilliance of this person, if it wasn't for this person's faint light, it was only revealed when he looked at himself, it was this person's aura and wind vane, if it wasn't for the wisdom and experience to a certain level, it would not be able to appreciate it at all. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but apologize in his heart, and felt that it was a bit rude for him to flatly refuse.

Just as the look of hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes, the yellow-crowned Taoist priest had already said impatiently: "I have said it, you can go, it's a pity, I have been disturbed by these gentlemen." ”

The cloth-clothed Confucian frowned, and was about to speak out to stop his companion's bad words, when the brocade-clothed boy on the painting boat suddenly laughed loudly: "Wait a minute! ”

The yellow-crowned Taoist priest raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but he was stopped by the cloth-clothed Confucian priest, and he waved at the painting boat and said: "The companion is reckless and rude, please Haihan." This time, there was sincerity between his eyebrows, and there was no sense of indifference and detachment at all.

At this time, the appearance of the two has fallen into my eyes, the Taoist priest is about thirty-six or seven years old, his appearance is strange, but there seems to be deep sorrow between his eyebrows, the cloth cloth Confucian is over thirty years old, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and elegant, graceful and graceful, these two people are extraordinary, such a character, even if it is rude, I have to kill him. Fang Cai's "wait a minute" was not to prevent these two people from leaving, but to prevent Xiao Shunzi in the cabin behind me from making a move, Xiao Shunzi has always loved me, seeing that the Taoist priest has repeatedly rebelled, he has already given birth to killing intent, but he has already been able to restrain the killing intent freely, and if there is a trace of killing intent leaking, except for me, who is very familiar with him, most of the others are difficult to detect.

Taking a step forward, I said calmly: "But it is rude, rashly invited, neither named, nor introduced, but in the next life of the most loved heroic people, Your Excellency pipa voice full of worries about the country and the people, this Taoist sang is the favorite words of Prince De, the country is difficult to think of good generals, you can know the long mind." Although he is a mediocre person, he also admires the heart of the two fists, so he came to invite, but he didn't expect the two to refuse so much, listening to the tone of the Taoist, it seems that he is dissatisfied with the precipice of the children of the family, but now it seems that among the three of us, the precipice is two righteous people who are worried about national affairs, not me, a layman who loves peace. ”

After the two of them listened silently, the Taoist priest's face was full of embarrassment and anger, and then he became a little discouraged, but the cloth-clothed Confucian priest looked wonderful, showed admiration on his face, and clasped his fists and said: "Your Excellency is right, we are too stubborn. However, my friend is also excusable, recently said that General Lu wanted to train the righteous army in Wu Yue, consolidate coastal defense, lack of military funds, in Xia and this brother intended to persuade the Wu Yue family to donate the righteous army, yesterday said that Fang returned from Wuxi, but everyone resigned, one by one, hard work, but only raised 30%. Therefore, my brother was troubled in his heart, and when he saw Your Excellency's painting of the boat's brocade clothes, he was angry. ”

I was slightly surprised when I heard this, I didn't expect that these two people were actually Lu Can's help, would they reveal their identities with them? After thinking about it, I smiled and said, "I see, the two of you are really chivalrous, for the country and the people." It seems that the two must be preparing to go to Wuzhou to raise funds, and the richest man in Wuzhou, the 'embroidery workshop' Zhou is an old friend, in the next words, he can always listen, if he is willing to take the lead in donating, it must be helpful to the two. In this way, you two will not refuse my kindness, right? ”

The two of them flashed joy in their eyes, and the Taoist priest blushed and said: "If this is the case, Poor Dao apologizes to Gongzi, Gongzi has the heart to serve the country, and the general of Poor Dao is grateful for Your Excellency." ”

I smiled and said, "Forget if you don't thank you, if you two can afford to be in the next place, please come over and talk about it." ”

This time, neither of them refused, and there was no need for a springboard, they were all light on the painting boat, and after their own boatman went to tie the boat to the painting boat, I stretched out my hand to greet the guests, invited the two into the front cabin, and then followed in, giving Hu Yanshou a look, and asked him to go back to the back, so as not to show his flaws.
