Chapter 128: New Year's paddling

Yao Ruoyu had already made people prepare for the banquet, and gathered in the leader's mansion with Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, Li Yilin, Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai, Ren Jiasheng, Wu Xue, Hou Jingru, Fu Chaozan, Jiang Siyu, and Chen Meng, who were from the Ministry of Literature and Art.

Luo He, Li Huo, Duan Li and others all have families, so naturally they will not come to the Leader's Mansion for the New Year, so in the end, only this group of people from the Literature and Art Department participated in the banquet.

Yang Renjie, Jiang Siyu, and Wu Xue, who have good voices, don't care if they don't have accompaniment, they just sing on their own, Li Yilin, Fu Chaozan, and Fu Feng also secretly made a sketch, and then performed it with a grin, but this group of guys is obviously performing indiscriminately, and the laughter caused by the mess obviously exceeds the laughter of the sketch itself.

This night is the happiest night since Yao Ruoyu and others crossed, there is no struggle of life and death, no foreign enemies to harass, and some are just the purest joy and play, so that they come to this strange world for the first time to feel the breath of home.

On this day, whether it was a man or a woman, a group of people were all drunk, originally Song Kai and Xu Xuanrong didn't disdain this way of venting their emotions and were unwilling to participate, but in the end they were dragged by Yang Renjie and Wu Xue, and after some drinking, the two of them were also drunk.

Yao Ruoyu was the first to get drunk, and in a daze, he only felt that he was helped up and sent back to the bedroom, and then he snored while holding the quilt, and fell asleep completely, but in his sleep, his pillow was completely wet with tears.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Yao Ruoyu got up with a headache, ran to the trash can in a daze, vomited, and then regained some senses.

Rubbing his head, Yao Ruoyu returned to the bed and sat down cross-legged, meditated for a while, and cast a sobering spell on himself, only then did he completely regain his consciousness, called the servant to bring a basin of water, washed his face, and got up and walked out of the house.

When he came to the lobby, Yao Ruoyu called the servants and asked about the others, only to know that everyone else was drunk last night, except for Yang Renjie and Song Kai, who got up, and the others were still sleeping.

Yao Ruoyu didn't care, yawned a few times, and went to the back kitchen to find something to eat, but a few people in the back kitchen were chatting, and they were all scared when they saw Yao Ruoyu coming, for fear of being scolded for slacking off at work.

Of course, Yao Ruoyu was not interested in paying attention to this kind of thing, so he asked for something to eat to fill his stomach first, and then comforted them a few words, and left the kitchen.

After wandering around the leader's mansion alone for a long time, Yao Ruoyu, who was so bored that he couldn't do it, thought that it was the Chinese New Year, so he simply left the leader's mansion alone, bought some gifts, and went directly to the White Crane Academy.

Because of the relationship between Bai Junru and Bai Qiuyu as the minister of the city-state, the White Crane Academy was also relocated to Diaoyu City, not far from the Leader's Mansion, and Yao Ruoyu arrived at the academy not long after leaving.

Unexpectedly, Yao Ruoyu came to the door on the first day of the New Year to pay New Year's greetings, and Bai Junru and Bai Qiuyu, who paid attention to etiquette, hurriedly took people out to greet them.

Originally, he was bored, so he came to go around, but not long after Yao Ruoyu sat down, Bai Junru took out a bunch of documents and talked to him about the work of the Ministry of Rites, which made Yao Ruoyu, who had just woken up, have a headache.

After tossing for a long time, Yao Ruoyu finally used the excuse that he wanted to go to another house to pay New Year's greetings, so he fled from the academy with a burning butt, but Bai Junru was still a little unfinished, and felt that the matter had not been finished yet.

After leaving the academy, Yao Ruoyu went to Duan Li and Li Huo's mansions successively, the former was okay, politely received, not flattering in conversation, but also very respectful, and when he arrived at the latter's mansion, Li Huo was all kinds of careless, so Yao Ruoyu stayed for a while and left.

Then Yao Ruoyu went to Hezhou City again, because of the relationship between serving as the city lord, Luo He's family had all moved to the city lord's mansion, so Yao Ruoyu naturally did not go to the Luo family's old house, and went directly to the city lord's mansion.

For Yao Ruoyu's arrival, Luo He naturally welcomed it very much, but after sitting down for a while, Luo He couldn't help but pour bitter water, saying that because of the vigorous construction of Diaoyu City, Hezhou City seems to be like a rural village and town, and most of the people usually flow to Diaoyu City, but Hezhou City is much more depressed.

Of course, Yao Ruoyu was all kinds of appeasement and comfort, telling him that as long as the will of the imperial court canonization arrived, the city-state would trade with foreign countries, and then Hezhou City would naturally prosper, and at the same time warned him that it was the responsibility of the city lord to build the city, and he should be more attentive and so on.

After some official talk, Yao Ruoyu also felt bored, so he said goodbye and left, walked around Hezhou City, and saw that it was not early, so he returned to Diaoyu City.

Back at the Leader's Mansion, the others naturally got up early, but probably because of drunkenness, they all looked sick and unenergetic.

There was no way, Yao Ruoyu had no choice but to apply the sobering spell to them one by one. As a result, Hou Jingru watched it interestingly, so she asked him to learn this spell, fortunately, the sobering spell was not complicated, and after a while, Hou Jingru memorized the structure of the talisman seal and spirit seal of this spell.

After making a fuss for a while, Yao Ruoyu finally remembered what was going on, and hurriedly found Xu Xuanrong and Song Kai, saying that he planned to go far away.

Their group of traversers had no relatives or neighbors here, so Xu Xuanrong and Song Kai didn't understand why Yao Ruoyu suddenly went far away.

Yao Ruoyu didn't hide it, saying that his master had some treasures in Wulong, and since he occupied Hezhou City first, of course he planned to dig up those treasures and bring them to Hezhou City.

When it comes to treasures, Xu Xuanrong and Song Kai suddenly became interested, as the so-called family does not know the price of firewood and rice, with the establishment of the city-state, the two mansions and five departments can be said to spend money like flowing water, the original property left by Yang Yiming has already spent more than half, if there is no foreign trade, I am afraid that the city-state they established will not be bankrupt in a long time.

To be honest, although this thing sounds mysterious, Yao Ruoyu did not deceive Song Kai and Xu Xuanrong, and there is indeed this treasure.

When he first crossed over, Yao Ruoyu got the inheritance of trickery in the Heavenly Trick Cave, and got the Ice Season Altar and the Frost Tide Sword left by the Ghost Venerable, but in addition to these, in fact, the Ghost Venerable also left other treasures, just because Yao Ruoyu's cultivation was insufficient at that time, and he couldn't take out other things at all.

Now Yao Ruoyu is already a seven-fold of the three realms, if you count the external force, his combat power can almost match the powerhouses of the five realms, and now when it is rare to meet leisure, he wants to go to Wulong Fairy Mountain and take away the other things left by the ghost venerable.

Because it was not clear how many things were left behind by the Ghost Venerable, Yao Ruoyu didn't dare to bring too many people, but it was naturally not suitable if there were fewer people, so at the suggestion of Song Kai and Xu Xuanrong, Yao Ruoyu finally brought Chen Meng, Wu Xue, and twenty soldiers from the Leader's Mansion.

Now that the will of the imperial court has not yet arrived, Yao Ruoyu and others are not easy to blatantly enter the territory of the Song Dynasty, so after thinking about it, everyone pretended to be a caravan and went to Wulong by water in the name of merchants.

Because they wanted to hide their identities, Yao Ruoyu and the others did not set off during the day, and when they arrived at night, they came to the dock, got on the boat arranged by Song Kai in advance, and quietly left Hezhou.

Starting from Hezhou, to go to Wulong by water, you need to first reach Chongqing from the Jialing River, then follow the Yangtze River to Fuling, and finally go south along the Wujiang River to reach Wulong.

Because it was night when they set off, Yao Ruoyu, Chen Meng, Wu Xue and others went to sleep in the cabin after boarding the ship.

However, because the boat shook a few times in the river from time to time, Yao Ruoyu lay in the cabin for a long time and did not fall asleep, until a long time passed, and he fell asleep in a daze under the sound of the river flowing.

He slept long enough until the next day, when it was close to noon, that Yao Ruoyu was woken up by a burst of laughter outside the cabin.

Like the rest of the art department, Yao Ruoyu was not used to having maids to serve, so when he woke up, he went to fetch a basin of water to wash his face, and only after recovering his spirit did he walk out of the cabin and onto the deck.

When he came to the deck, Yao Ruoyu saw Wu Xue running around on the deck like a fiery butterfly, touching the railing here, jumping to the bow of the boat and screaming, looking full of energy.

Shaking his head, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "Wu Xue, what kind of nerves do you have?"

"Are you awake?" Wu Xue turned her head when she heard the sound and grinned, "I'm happy!"

"Happy your sister! It's not like I haven't been on a boat. After saying something angrily, Yao Ruoyu walked to the bow of the boat and squinted his eyes to look at the river in the distance.

At this time, there were already many ships on the river, large and small, most of them merchant ships, and the river was covered with waves, like snow-like waves constantly churning, occasionally lapping on the hull of the boat, splashing bursts of water.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu looking at the river with a deep face, Wu Xue secretly pouted, and was about to sneak behind him and push it to scare Yao Ruoyu, but she didn't expect Yao Ruoyu to suddenly turn around, and she was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand and looked around with a decent look.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly, and understood what she wanted to do just now, shook her head angrily, and asked with a smile: "By the way, Wu Xue, after Kai Kai came, did he talk to you for a day?"

"Want me to talk?" Wu Xue blinked and suddenly pouted, "Why are you asking this?"

"Curious!" smiled, Yao Ruoyu said, "Kai Kai already knows Chu Zheng's thoughts about you, doesn't he have any sense of crisis?

"No," Wu Xuebian replied, "After he came, he was to help make suggestions, and after defeating the Yanggu Army, everyone was very busy, where did he have time to chat." ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "What, it's not interesting at all!"

"Hey, hey!" stared wide, Wu Xue said angrily, "Are you making fun of our affairs?"

"Your business?" Yao Ruoyu lifted his glasses and smiled evilly, "What about the two of you......?" Oops!" Before he finished speaking, Wu Xue twisted his arm very well, and suddenly he covered his arm and called out again and again.
