"Who kneeling in the hall?" The fat temple man asked loudly.

"Fish Master, Cloud." The man replied respectfully.

"Fish Master Yun, your master said that you are good at making fish, and the widow ordered you to go to the lotus lake to take a koi fish to make a plate of fish and compete with the fish master in the widow's palace, how about it?" Qi Hou looked at the man in the banquet and smiled.

"Respectfully!" The man's answer was short and forceful.

"Great goodness!" Qi Hou was also interested at this time, and he waved his hand and shouted to the fat temple people: "Go, call the fish master to the widow!" Let people prepare crushed ice, dipping sauce, and replace the plates on the table with the painted plates of the Fish Leaping Lotus Pond! ”

"No!" The fat temple people smiled and glanced at the fish master in the hall, and led the order to retreat.

"Your Excellency, my fishmaster is ugly, and I am afraid that I will run away from the koi fish in your lake. Why don't you let this beautiful woman hold the boat and lure the fish with songs? Gongsun Chao said, turned his head and glanced at me, and I quickly leaned over and fell to the ground.

"The beauty holds the boat and lures the fish with songs. Hahaha, Ziwu Zhiya, not inferior to Brother Ru! Did you two hear that? Go quickly and return quickly, and wait for the widow to clear his mouth! Qi Hou slapped his palm and laughed loudly.

"No!" I knelt in the hall with the fish master and answered in unison.

Out of the small pavilion, to the lakeside docking, a temple man untied a flat boat, handed a penny more than a foot high to me.

Under the sun, a lake of blue water is sparkling. Yu Shiyun flicked his hem, jumped into the boat lightly, turned around and stretched out his hand to me.

I threw the penny into the boat, smiled and put my hand in his palm.

The corners of his mouth hooked, and a smile could not be concealed.

got on the boat, supported the penny, the boat swayed lightly from side to side, and swung into the lotus lake.

In the early morning of June, a round of golden-red sunrise hangs in the eastern sky with the morning glow, a lake of gold-edged lotus leaves stretches in the morning breeze, and the fresh and ruddy hibiscus is like a beauty who has just woken up from a spring sleep swaying gracefully in the rolling green waves. I propped up a penny, sang a tune, and leisurely sailed the boat into the lotus leaves.

When the staggered voices in the small accord disappeared between the blue sky and clear water, I put down the penny with a smile and sat next to the shirtless: "Why are you here, still pretending to be this ugly?" ”

"There is a troublesome child who refuses to leave the palace, what else can I do? Instead of worrying outside, it is better to enter the palace and guard her at ease. With a smile, Wuxian brushed away the forehead hair that covered his eyes, revealing a pair of smiling black jade eyes, "How did you recognize me?" I almost don't recognize myself anymore. ”

"It looks and sounds different, but I recognize it." I smiled and tapped a small mole on the wing of his nose with my fingertips, grabbed my hand with the corner of my mouth, and I took his mouth to nullify his shoes, "And it." How can I not recognize the upper that I embroidered myself? ”

"Ghost Witty." Wuxian pinched my face, he was dressed like this not to be recognized, but now I was proud because I could recognize him, "Wait for me for a while, wait for me for a while, and then let me take a good look at you." ”

"Hmm." I looked at him and nodded obediently.

Wuxian clearly said that he was going to fish, but one hand always held me firmly. He was carrying buckets, fetching water, and putting nets on the boat, but we never let go of our hands. He led me around the boat, constantly busy with green, and I followed him step by step, as if I had melted a piece of honey in my heart, so sweet that even the little flies flying on the water felt very cute.

When Wushirt arranged everything and sat down on the side of the boat, I leaned on his knee: "Why do you still have the leisure to pretend to be a fish master to enter the palace at this time?" The Gao clan and the Guo clan in the north have been contacted? ”

"You're alone in the palace, I'm not at ease. I asked Meng to talk about the things in the north. He already had a friendship with the son of the national clan, and this matter was not difficult for him. As he spoke, he picked up a red carp from the lake with a gauze net, and threw it far away when he saw that it was small. The red carp landed on the lotus leaf, tossed twice, and fell into the lake with a pop.

"Are you afraid that Ah Su will eat me? Or are you afraid that Qi Hou will kill me by mistake? Don't worry, although I often cause trouble, I haven't died so far! "I put my head in my hands and grinned as I watched the fish catch without a shirt.

Wuxian listened to my words, suddenly stopped what he was doing, and looked at me without saying a word.

I thought his face was a little ugly, so I hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's the matter, what did I say wrong?" ”

"Life and death, how can you say it so casually and so easily? You don't worry about your own life, but I'm scared. Do you think I am ignoring the matter of who I am throwing down the Gao and Guo families, throwing down fifty dark warriors, throwing away the head of Fan Ji, and pretending to be this ghost to enter this Qi Palace. Now, Chen Heng, Qi Hou, and Kan Zhi are fighting so fiercely, there will be troops in this palace at any time. Chen Heng may be useful in keeping you, but the war is together, the sword has no eyes, if you fall into the hands of a group of red-eyed fanatics, who will save you! If you die here, what if I kill Su Qi and Chen Heng! Two years ago, you died once in my heart. At that time, I only sighed that there was no woman in this world who could make Zhao Wuxian's heart move, just drink a jar of wine and get drunk all night. But now, you can't even mention the word 'death', I can't bear it. ”

After saying it in one breath with a blushing face, I looked at him in a daze, and was shocked to realize that I had such weight in his heart.

"You left such a blood handkerchief on Si'er and disappeared, how do you think I have spent the past few days?" Wuxian sighed and took the stunned me into his arms, "After I killed Zhong Xingyin, I rushed back from Guangrao to see you without sleep, but when I came back, Meng Tan told me that you were kidnapped." Seeing the unconscious Si'er, seeing the piece of blood, I can't wait to stab myself with a sword, what kind of madness did I commit in the first place, so I asked you to come to Qi Country to accompany me. I said that I would protect you, and I wouldn't let you hurt a single hair in the sea of swords and fire, but I just lost you...... If, if you're being ...... by Fan's people because of me," his voice darkened, and his arms around me tightened suddenly.

"Hongyun'er, I had to come with you, and I also provoked Su Qi and the Chen family first, I don't blame you." I leaned against my shirtless chest, poked my head out, and said with a smile, "And you see, I'm not good!" If I knew you were so worried about me, I would have left the palace with you last time. ”

"Now that's nice, I don't know about your stubborn temper? That Su Qi didn't torture you, did he? Shirtless looked down at me, his brows still furrowed.

"Not really. I'm fine, not a single hair is missing, don't worry. ”

"When the conditions are negotiated with the Marquis of Qi, let's leave the country of Qi! If you want to see the sea, I'll take you to Lai Country. If you want to go to the land of Wuyue to see, we will find a place with mountains and rivers to live there for half a month, and when you are tired of playing, you will go back to Xinjiang, okay? ”

"Okay, all right."

"When we leave the palace, I have a surprise for you."

"What?" I asked, looking up.

"When you leave the palace, you'll know. Now, let's catch the fish first. Wuxian let go of me with a smile, and sailed back to the depths of the lotus leaf with the boat.

I sat at the stern of the boat and brushed the half-human-tall long-stemmed lotus leaf beside me with my hand, and smiled at the man who was holding the boat: "Hongyun'er, you thought I was dead, and you were drunk for me all night?" ”

"The spies from Qin Guolai said that the adopted daughter of General Qin's Mansion drowned in Weishui, I was stunned for a day, and I went to look for the pot of peach blossom brew you sent to drink at night, but I didn't expect to be stolen by my brother and drank a fine drink. Over the years, I have rarely been angry with him, but that day I smashed the six jars of wine he sent him in one go. Later, holding the last remaining jar, he got drunk all night. Shirtless twitched the penny and chuckled softly.

"I didn't expect you to like me so early! Then you were ashamed to say, 'Meng Tan doesn't know what this life is.'" ’？ "I learned to mock him in the tone of the Prince of Qin's mansion back then.

He wasn't annoyed, he just smiled, and let me pull the cuffs stupidly proudly.

"Why did you like me in the first place? I only sang one song at the banquet and struck a piece of tsuku, didn't I? ”

"Who told you that I was tempted at that time? And then—"Shirtless folded a double-petaled pink lotus and threw it into my arms."

"When was that?" I took it with a smile, plucked the petals and put my nose in.

"I won't tell you!" Wuxian put the penny horizontally as he spoke, bent down and picked up a herring more than two feet long in the water. The herring had a swarthy and shiny back, and as soon as it landed on the boat, it flicked its tail and bounced desperately. I was happy, but I was anxious, and when I saw that it was about to jump out of the side of the ship, I quickly screamed and pounced on it, and pressed it with my body. "Ahh I laughed and screamed, and the slippery fish under my belly arched me up and down.

Shirtless looked at me, stroking the side of the boat and laughing. The laughter rippled with the wind, causing the lotus leaves to dance.

The big fish was packed into a paint bucket without a shirt, and I propped up the boat and sailed back to the little Accord.

"What did you say to me last time? If I don't come, how are you going to get out of the palace? "Shirtless took his sleeve and dipped it in the lake water, squatted in front of me and carefully wiped the lake mud from my waist that was stained by herring.

I took the penny around and saw that there was only a high lotus leaf barrier around me, and the small accord was still fifty zhang away, so I bent down and whispered: "There is a secret passage under the stage that leads directly to the water outside the West City. ”

"Are you talking about the underground tunnel that discharges rainwater under Linzi City?" Shirtless tugged at his sleeves and busily sat down on my waist, and the secret story didn't seem to surprise him in the slightest.

"How do you know?" I straightened up and wondered.

"I've seen a drawing of an underground drainage ditch left by the craftsmen who built Linzi City. The entrance to the ditch is said to be at the southeast corner of the point of the platform, bypassing the east, north, and west through the western wall, leading to the water. ”

"Well, the ditch under this earth should be a mile and a half long and ten feet wide. It's been a long time since it's rained heavily in Qidi, and I don't think there will be too much water in it. As long as we find a way to avoid the guards and enter the bottom of the point, we can escape from Linzi City without knowing it. ”

"That's the idea you had in the first place. Ah Shi, do you think Qi people are all fools? The two ends of the ditch were blocked with a patchwork of boulders, each of which was no more than a palm's wide, and water could cross it, but people could not cross it. ”

"Of course I know that. But back then, in order to fornicate with the wife of the doctor Cui Zhu, Duke Qi Zhuang once opened a small road on the side of the boulder forest at the head and end of the ditch. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Wuxian raised his eyebrows, and said, "But that Qi Zhuang Gong has already turned into white bones, and this secret passage may have been blocked by the monarchs of the later generations of Qi Kingdom." ”
