The Southern Tang Dynasty has the reputation of "the center of the world" since ancient times, the national Zuo has been inherited for thousands of years, the rivers and mountains are picturesque, countless literati and strange scholars have emerged, and there are more delicate and lovely southern beauties; of course, in the hearts of all the people in the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most eye-catching is the emperors of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The emperors of the Southern Tang Dynasty were all outstanding in literature, and there were almost no emperors below the bachelor's degree in the dynasty, and compared with the rest of the countries, they were really famous. The rivers and rivers of the southern country are picturesque, so most of the emperors are good at singing poetry and are famous in the poetry world.

Of the hundred kingdoms of the imperial dynasty, in addition to the emperor of the dynasty, the royal family surnamed Li only has the Southern Tang family. According to the records of wild history, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was the bloodline of a certain son of heaven in the history of the dynasty, and it was through the support of the son of heaven that he gained a firm foothold and founded the southern kingdom.

The history of these barnyard officials is undocumented, but the southern women are a must in the mainland, and the harem of the emperor is indispensable to the beauties of the southern country.

Zhang Yi and the others changed into ordinary lifting clothes and jinshi uniforms, and walked towards Qingshui Pavilion.

"There are more than three in Jinling, many academies, many green buildings and many fine wines. The Jinling Spring brewed by this Qingshui Pavilion can be ranked among the top five wines in the world. Ah Yi, do we want to make wine and poetry tonight?" Feng Chonglou came to Zhang Yi's side and said with a smile, thinking of the wine, he suddenly smiled.

Zhang Yi coughed lightly and motioned for Lu Hongyi and the others to be in front.

Lu Hongyi's ears were sensitive, and he said: "Jinling Spring is the signboard of Qingshui Pavilion, mainly based on flower carving, and it is indeed a good wine. I heard that there is more than 30 years of fine wine in Qingshui Pavilion, so let's go there. ”

Feng Chonglou smiled and nodded, for more than a month, he had a full understanding of Lu Hongyi. Lu Hongyi and Chen Chu saw Duxi Fine Wine, otherwise how could he say such a thing?

Zhang Yi was silent.

......

There are countless tributaries in Qiushui, and one of the tributaries goes from Jinling City to the southeast suburbs, named Huai River. Qingshui Pavilion stands on the side of the Huai River, and dozens of unique Southern Tang Water Pavilions rise together, which is a wonderful scene in Jinling City.

Qingshui Pavilion is extremely famous in Jinling City, and many literati often linger here. Wine and beauty, the beautiful scenery of the Huai River, studying and practicing here is really a great joy in life.

It's just that if you want to stay here for a long time, it costs a lot.

Zhang Yi and the six people never came to Qingshui Pavilion, found a boatman, sat on a canopy boat, and followed the Huai River, but in half an hour, they came to Qingshui Pavilion.

Dozens of water pavilions are nestled against each other, and the flying pavilion is stacked with mountains, and it is a prosperous resort. Many blue-clothed lifters and tributes entered, and occasionally red-clothed jinshi wore through them.

"This Huai River starts from Jinling City, to the Eastern Jin Dynasty Baguio City and flows into the autumn water again, if the water demon comes here to make trouble, it must be against the current. However, there is one thing I am extremely curious about, if there is a water demon here, why is Qingshui Pavilion still so lively?" Mu Tiange, as the leader of the team, has more experience in traveling to several countries, and suddenly felt a little puzzled at this moment.

Lu Hongyi frowned slightly and said, "Brother Mu, do you mean that the information of the academy is wrong, and this task is in vain?"

"No way. Mu Tiange immediately vetoed, "As one of the five major academies, how could White Horse Academy make such a mistake. This Qingshui Pavilion is full of suspicions, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? Let's go inside and explore. ”

Mu Tiange has a lot of experience, and the rest of the people naturally agree.

A few people entered one of the restaurants in Qingshui Pavilion, and Mu Tiange was the east, and let Xiao Er serve two pots of Jinling Spring Flower Carving for ten years.

Zhang Yi arched his hand and said, "Little second brother, I have something to ask." ”

"Guest, please. Xiao Er hurriedly returned the salute, these guest officials had a dusty temperament and were worth a lot of money, and he didn't dare to slack off at all after ordering two pots of Jinlingchun for ten years.

"We just arrived in Jinling City, and we came to Qingshui Pavilion to taste the wine. Zhang Yi's eyes were clear, his tone was flat, and he said slowly, "I just heard from the boatman on the road that there are water demons near this Qingshui Pavilion recently, and we are a little worried, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here at night." ”

"Hehe, that's what happened. Don't worry, the guest officer must not worry, the water demon was really noisy a few days ago, and even many people died in the Huai River. However, our pavilion master invited a Hanlin master to drive the water demon downstream. ”

Xiao Er smiled and said, "And even if there is a water demon attacking, our Qingshui Pavilion has many enshrined guards, and the guest officer doesn't have to worry about safety at all." ”

"I see, thank you little brother. ”

Zhang Yi thanked him and understood the reason.

The six of them glanced at each other, Chen Chu saw that he had a violent temper, and he was the first to start: "It turns out that the water demon was driven downstream by that Hanlin. However, our mission is to detect the water demon, so let's rush downstream. ”

Hanlin is another name for the imperial scholar.

A thousand years ago, Li Longji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, opened the Hanlin Academy. Outstanding talents were selected from among the scholars of the imperial dynasty, and he was in charge of compiling the history of the country, recording the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven, giving lectures on the history of the scriptures, and drafting the ceremony documents. Among them, the bachelor of the academy has an equal status with the prime minister, and is called the minister of writing.

Since then, Hanlin has become a reputation for the imperial scholars, who praised a certain scholar for his high morality.

"Don't worry. Mu Tiange hurriedly stopped her, "I don't know if you noticed?" This Xiao Er's eyes flickered slightly when he spoke, indicating that the water demon in the Huai River was very fierce at the beginning, and Qingshui Pavilion could only ask that Hanlin to come to subdue the water demon. ”

Zhang Yi and the others nodded hurriedly, and they naturally noticed this.

Mu Tiange changed his words and said, "However, the dignified Hanlin didn't kill this water demon, but could only expel it downstream, isn't it doubtful?"

After Mu Tiange said this, several people immediately understood the key.

Zhang Yi is even more like an initiation, these experiences cannot be seen in books, nor can they be heard in the classroom. This is what the Master used to say, travel thousands of miles, and tomorrow will happen.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but admire Mu Tiange, and asked, "Brother Mu, then in your opinion, how should we act?"

"While the Academy's mission is indeed important, our lives are even more important. In my opinion, let's follow the side of the Huai River and catch up downstream by land. If you encounter a water demon, don't take it lightly, everything is based on protecting yourself. ”

Mu Tiange solemnly warned that as the leader of this trip, if someone had an accident, he would definitely be blamed.

Zhang Yi and the others nodded hurriedly.

Wushan City is located in the lower reaches of Jinling City, Zhang Yi and others rushed here on horseback for half a day, ready to rest when burning, and then went downstream again.

The six of them agreed on a meeting place, and then went separately to inquire about the news. They didn't see the water demon making trouble along the way, and they were going to interrogate the people of Wushan City.

Zhang Yi stopped a blue-clothed lifter and arched his hand: "Hello brother, I am in Wushan City, I have something to ask for, I don't know if I can disturb for a while?"

"What's the matter?" the blue man turned his head, his face quite honest and ordinary.

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "I came from Jinling City, I heard that a few days ago, there was a water demon in Qingshui Pavilion, and I was driven downstream by a Hanlin, I don't know if Brother Tai has heard of it?"

"I don't know. ”

As soon as Lan Yi heard Zhang Yi's words, his face suddenly darkened.

Yu Muqing is a core disciple of Far Eastern College, with a peaceful and upright personality and does not like to fight. He is very interested in reading, but he is not much interested in cultivation, after passing the government examination to get the rank of tribute, his cultivation is still the pinnacle, and a card is five years, so far he has not become a real tribute.

The husband who taught him was very annoyed, and this time he received the news that a water demon had appeared in Qingshui Pavilion, and immediately drove Yu Muqing out and ordered him to come to investigate the situation.

Yu Muqing respected the teacher, although he was unwilling in his heart, but he had to obey the order of the gentleman. Far East Academy is located in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, close to the Southern Tang Dynasty, even if Yu Muqing traveled all the way, he also rushed to the vicinity of Qingshui Pavilion half a month later.

Hearing that the water demon was driven to Wushan City downstream by Hanlin, which might harm the downstream residents, Yu Muqing hurriedly went to Wushan City.

Who knew that when Yu Muqing rushed to Wushan City to inform the city lord, the city lord ignored him and drove him out of the mansion. The fact that a disciple of the Far East Academy suffered such an insult made Yu Muqing and other good people extremely angry.

Unexpectedly, not long after he left the City Lord's Mansion, he was actually pulled by someone, and he was even more angry when he asked about the water demon.

......

Zhang Yi was speechless, could there be something wrong with this person's head?
