The small mirror lake under the night has another taste, in the sky, so the night scene is picturesque and dreamlike.

On the small mirror lake, there are scholars and sons and sons who swim in the lake with courtesans, silk and bamboo orchestras, and they are extremely happy. There are also peddlers and pawns, driving a flat boat to shuttle through various brightly lit painting boats, selling wine, meat and aquatic products.

At this time, it is the third day of the second lunar month, a crescent moon hangs obliquely in the western sky, boating in the middle of the lake, under the stars, the small small mirror lake is like a vast expanse. The embroidered boats in the lake are also lit up, as if echoing with the stars in the sky.

For a moment, Zhao Yingqi felt far away from the hustle and bustle, and his heart was relaxed, as if all the intrigues after crossing over had left him.

This feeling was only for a moment, and he was soon called back by Zuo Jin to drink together.

The table on the table has also been turned over once, judging from the appetite of two first-class masters and one second-class master, I am afraid that I will have to turn over the table again.

Zhao Yingqi sat down at the table that had just been turned over, and Zhao Tong poured him wine next to him, Zhao Tong didn't seem to be as drunk as he was at the beginning, after all, he was a master of the top armor, how could he get drunk so easily.

At this time, it was already completely dark, there was no sunlight, the two little maids pulled up the veils around them, and also lit the mosquito repellent aromatherapy at the four corners of the attic, the fresh river breeze mixed with the smell of the single aromatherapy immediately blew into the small attic, which made people refreshed, Zuo Jin raised his glass and toasted Zhao Yingqi.

Miss Liu Yilin next to her came over with her pipa, smiled smartly, and saluted Zhao Yingqi and said: "I am happy to see heroes such as Mr. Zhao, Miss Zhao and Zuo Daxia today, and I am happy. ”

The Chu girls who are preparing to participate in the Huanhua Festival these days will sing and dance to some people with status, and get a word-by-word evaluation, which can be regarded as a plus point for winning the Oiran at the Huanhua Club, similar to the singing of singers in the previous life.

Liu Yilin and Mu Lian had already changed their clothes and saluted the three people in the banquet.

After that, Liu Yilin sat on the embroidery pier on the side, her jade-like fingers flew up and down, the music was melodious and beautiful, rare to hear, and under the agitation of the strings, it was like a surging river, melodious and beautiful. It is the "Lingbo Song" that the two have practiced for a long time.

And here, Mu Lian moved her body slightly with the sound of the pipa, and the music was still gentle at this time. When the tune begins to be excited, he immediately dances with it, his body spins like flying, the yarn clothes roll, the lotus grows step by step, and the cluster jumps, the shape is like a phoenix dance, the god is like spring water, shaking the willow waist, and the color flies together.

The two of them played one and danced, and the beauty of the music made many painting boats stay away from here, but the Oiran of the Qunfang Pavilion was too outstanding to be overwhelmed and had to flee far away.

In the final climax, one danced the red sleeves wildly, and the other plucked the pipa, which hooked the souls of the two men in the banquet.

The last two beauties were slightly sweaty, and then they stopped.

Zhao Yingqi also turned his spirit from intoxication, opened his eyes, but just met Liu Yilin's gaze, under the soft river breeze, Liu Yilin's green silk flew slightly, just like a cluster of green clouds; A pair of wonderful eyes stared at Zhao Yingqi, really moved in the starlight.

Suddenly, Zhao Yingqi, who had just woken up from the sound of the pipa, fell into Liu Yilin's Ying Ying gaze again, and it was not until the two beauties bowed slightly that Zhao Yingqi suddenly woke up.

"Please also ask the three of you to appreciate the light and evaluate it for my two sisters." The two beauties bowed again.

Zhao Yingqi was still immersed in Liu Yilin's gaze at this time, and Zuo Jin was still stunned in place and looked like a nymphomaniac.

It was Zhao Tong who opened his mouth first: "The singing and dancing of the two of you are really good, the best I have ever seen, better than the singing and dancing at the birthday banquet of the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom." ”

"Good...... That's nice...... It's really good...... It's really beautiful. Zuo Jin's evaluation is more straightforward and simple.

The second daughter bowed down and thanked her, and then Liu Yilin's eyes wandered, and she put it on Zhao Yingqi, the two glanced at each other, Zhao Yingqi's heart moved, and she opened her mouth and recited:

In front of the case, the face was like jade, and the sound of the pipa on the side of the fence was reverberating.

fluttering around and falling clear feathers, curling and moving Ling Bo to go.

The slightly dragged skirt shook her mind, plucking the red dust of the silk strings.

The lotus is like a cloud and a willow is weak, and the forest is like a water lake.

Mu Lian and Liu Yilin were very happy, and bowed deeply to Zhao Yingqi, Liu Yilin handed the pipa to the little maid on the side and came over to give Zhao Yingqi a glass of wine, and thanked him again and again.

Zhao Yingqi is actually very embarrassed, he writes poems all from the memory and ability inherited from the original Zhao Yingqi brain in this world, not his ability, and because of the problem of thinking, the poems he writes are not very good, too far behind.

But Mulian and Liu Yilin don't necessarily have to have any poems that can be passed on, it's just that Zhao Yingqi is a master of the first armor, if she is naturally a member of the three grades, as long as there are poems left, it is a good thing for her sisters, instead of writing a good poem that will be remembered after death, it is better to find a good person who can get benefits now.

A few people sat on the edge of the table again and began to push the cup and change the lamp, Zhao Yingqi asked Zuo Jin: "Zuo Daxia doesn't live your leisurely life in Sanshan Lake, why did he come to Xuanfu, is it possible that he also came to visit this Huanhua Club?" ”

"Alas, Huanhua will have anything to do with those of us who are begging for a living, Zuo is here to recruit An." Zuo Jin shook his head and began to vomit bitterness.

Zuo Jin is the big boss of the Shuangqi Gang in Sanshan Lake, entrenched on Sanshan Island in Sanshan Lake, originally Sanshan Lake was stuck between Wu, Yue, and Chen, and it was almost a three-regardless area, but in fact, how can they compete with the country like water thieves, no matter what they say about the gold on their faces, in fact, they can come to grasp one or two.

It's just that the waterway of Sanshan Lake is complicated, and if you want to forcibly exterminate the Shuangqi Gang, you have to have tens of thousands of troops, but no one of these three countries will let one country occupy such a strategic position that can contain the middle reaches of the Lanjiang River, so they will always let the Shuangqi Gang be at ease in Sanshan Lake.

Now Zuo Jin is worried because of offending the Yue State Prince Gao Ting, a few months has been the Yue State sent troops to encircle and suppress three times, although his Shuangqi Gang has repelled the encirclement and suppression of the Yue State, but the Yue State has more and more troops, the most recent one almost rushed out of the complex waterway of Sanshan Lake, their Shuangqi Gang only has more than 5,000 people, and the ships are limited, so keep fighting, can not bear it at all.

"Half a month ago, the girl surnamed Xiao in Yue was really ruthless under her hands, and with 5,000 Yue sailors, she almost rushed out of the waterway around Sanshan Lake to the cottage on our island." Zuo Jin poured himself a glass of wine in distress when he talked about it.

"A female general? I have never heard of when there was a female general in the Yue Kingdom. Zhao Yingqi asked.

"I don't know, it's just that the Wupin guerrilla who was just appointed two months ago is very powerful under his hands, and Zuo fought with that girl once, and almost suffered a big loss!"

Hearing Zuo Jin say this, Zhao Yingqi also felt that their situation was very bad, and now Yue Guo was just afraid of the reaction of Wu and Chen, so he did not send a large army, and the Shuangqi Gang was the defender, and they were almost lost with five thousand against five thousand, but they were afraid that it would be difficult to live in the future.

And their Shuangqi Gang offended Gao Ting, the prince of Yueguo, according to what I heard from Ding Feng before, the Gao Jun who had just ascended the throne of Yue Guo was more brutal than Gao Ting, but Gao Jun seemed to be at odds with Zheng Guo in the south at this time, and when Gao Jun came out, I was afraid that it would be when his Shuangqi Gang was destroyed.

"However, it is not unusual for Zuo Daxia to occupy Sanshan Lake in the middle reaches of the Lanjiang River, and he has offended Wu and Yue boats traveling from east to west." Zhao Yingqi took a shrimp that Zhao Tong peeled for him next to him.

"!" Zuo Jin slapped the table.

"Be careful when you speak!" Zhao Tong frowned at Zuo Jin.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiaotong peeled the shrimp for me again, Xiaotong's peeling is quite delicious." Zhao Yingqi hurriedly pulled Zhao Tong over.

"Hah...... Ha ha...... Hahaha, it was Zuo who was rude, and Zuo punished himself with a cup. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, let's just be casual at the wine table, it's good, the wine table has no size." Zhao Yingqi looked at Zhao Tong next to him, although the flush on his face had subsided, he still seemed to be a little drunk, is this not on his face, on his face?

Zojin continued.

It turned out that the great earthquake 300 years ago not only made the Tonghe River diverted from Chunnei Road to the north of Jiaxian, but also made the Chunling on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Lanjiang River unstable.

Thirty years ago, the Shuangqi Gang successfully became the leader, integrating the two villages of Sanshan Lake and the two islands on Sanshan Lake, and also ended the long-standing raiding on Sanshan Lake, and instead collected protection fees from passing ships to ensure their safety of navigating up and down 200 miles, and led them through the complex waterways of Sanshan Lake.

In fact, the merchant ships in the past are also happy, originally the Sanshan Lake waterway is not easy to pass, and now there are people to protect from robbery and return to lead the way, and pay some money to buy the road is also the proper meaning.

Otherwise, those boat bosses who run the Lanjiang waterway all the year round have been walking back and forth in Sanshan Lake for more than ten years, and they have already been clear about the waterway of Sanshan Lake.

Hearing Zuo Jin say this, Zhao Yingqi also nodded suddenly, but Zhao Yingqi thought that it was not only his Double Flag Gang to ensure the safety of the ships going back and forth, but also his father and son who were unpopular with the people, otherwise they would always find so many people to lead the way, and they would not be defeated by the Double Flag Gang again and again.

"I want to come here to take refuge with Wu Guo, mix up an official and a half-position, and then I can compete with Yue Guo, right?"

"Who says it's not, you can still resist one or two now, and when the Yue Kingdom frees up its hands from the south, the Shuangqi Gang handed over to Zuo by the old boss is afraid that it will be over."

"Then why didn't Zuo Daxia go to Chen Guo and come to Soochow? I heard that Chen Guoguo was wise and benevolent, and it was a good place to go. ”

Zuo Jin continued to talk with Zhao Yingqi.

Although Chen Guojun is benevolent, righteous and virtuous, and his courtiers are all good officials who protect the country and the people, Chen Guo and Sanshan Lake are not connected by any large rivers, they are all small water systems, and their control is limited, and they are also asked by Wu because of the construction of canals.

However, this Wu State, Wu State's naval army is strong, just because Sanshan Lake is in the upper reaches of the Lan River waterway of Wu State, which has a geographical advantage, and the move of Shuangqi to help protect passing merchant ships actually has a positive impact on the Xuanfu, which is extremely developed in commerce.

In contrast, Chen Guo still has some gaps with Yue Guo, but Wu Guo is not afraid of Yue Guo.

So Zuo Jin felt that coming to Wu was the best choice.

Through many contacts, Zuo Jin and Chen Wu, the second son of Vice Prime Minister of Wu Guo, got on the line, and today he was invited by Chen Wuzhi to meet on this small mirror lake, but he didn't want Chen Wu's conditions to be too difficult, so he turned his face.

Chen Wu's conditions made Zhao Yingqi very curious, and he couldn't help but ask more, and what Zuo Jin said made Zhao Yingqi also stunned.

Chen Wu actually wanted Zuo Jin to find a way to provoke a contradiction between Wu and Chen, and then start a war!
