After going north for many days, I have seen various scenery along the way, including the busyness of the people in the rice fields of the southern people, and the praise of the past merchants for this year's business; There are people who are worried about the undecided chaos in Tanzhou, and there are also the people of Jingzhou who are grateful to the imperial court.

Approaching the boundary of Dongting Land, Xiao Changle introduced to Xiao Rui: "Brother-in-law, shall I take you to play in Dongting Lake?" There are many of my good friends here. ”

Roar......

The big cat roared in protest.

Xiao Changle slapped it over: "You oppose uselessness, if you don't want to get on the boat, I will throw you ashore, you go hunting in the mountains and forests by yourself, be careful of being caught by hunters to make tiger skins." ”

Uh-woo......

The big cat was so frightened that it trembled, whimpering in its mouth, and was so emotional that it spun in circles.

"Stop, stop! Don't turn around, your head is about to be dizzy by you, take you, take you. Xiao Changle hurriedly appeased, Xiao Rui laughed so hard that his stomach hurt and he almost fell off his horse.

Seeing that one person and one tiger had enough trouble, Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Do you mean the Lai brothers in Dongting Lake?" ”

"Yikes! Brother-in-law, do you know them too? ”

"Hehe, I still borrowed your light, when I passed by the Yangtze River, it was cold and there was no boat, and the Lai brothers of Dongting Lake heard that I was your friend, so they warmly welcomed us, and finally personally sent us across the river."

Xiao Changle looked proud, "That is, I have never looked away when I make friends, they are all good people." ”

Good?

If His Majesty the Emperor knew that you were brothers and sisters with a group of river thieves, I don't know what he would think?

"Okay, since we've come to this, let's turn around and take a look, this is someone's territory, we can't hide it if we pass by like this, and we can't talk about it without taking a look at our old friends."

The two went to the river and found a fishing village. There are 100,000 people in Dongting Water Village, and it is claimed that the fishing villages within a radius of 800 miles are all their own people, so any one of them can be contacted.

"What? Are you going to Dongting Water Village? The fisherman looked at them in astonishment, and then hurried back to his house as if he were hiding from a plague god, forgetting to anchor his boat.

Hey, hey...... We are good people, I know the big brother from Shuizhai very well!

Xiao Changle's call made the man run faster.

Xiao Rui turned over and dismounted, personally helped someone anchor and fix the boat, and then stopped Changle, who was about to pursue, "Okay, let's ask someone else." ”

He had a faint feeling in his heart that something might have happened on Dongting Lake.

Sure enough, I asked several people in a row, and all of them had the same attitude, and no one dared to take them into Dongting Lake.

"Brother-in-law, aren't they bragging, aren't they saying that every fishing village is theirs? Why don't we try a different village? ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "No, it may be an accident, let's find a city nearby to see." ”

Xiao Changle riding a tiger was too eye-catching, and everyone had heard of Princess Changle's name, so they first placed the big cat in a safe valley, and then Xiao Rui took Changle to a small town called Yunmeng.

The passers-by along the road looked sideways and secretly pointed at something.

Xiao Changle was very happy, "Hehe, brother-in-law, did you hear what they said?" ”

Xiao Rui only cares about observing the situation, where do you pay attention to these?

"They are all saying: What a pair of golden boys and girls, is there still such a character in a small remote place like ours?"

"Hehe, I'll just say, the two of us are the best match. Look at how many people envy us as a double horse. ”

Burst......

"Say less! If you talk nonsense, I'll drop you down. Xiao Rui reprimanded with a dark face: "These people don't know what kind of eyes they have, what kind of match do I have with you little girl?" ”

"Hehe, brother-in-law, are you blushing, are you annoyed and angry? Don't quibble, whether I'm a little girl or not, you don't count. ”

The two came to a tavern, and as soon as they sat down, Xiao Er greeted them, "Yo, the two guest officers are invited." I don't know what you two are eating? ”

Xiao Changle took out a five-tael ingot, and said arrogantly: "Bring up all the good wine and food in your store, taste it delicious, and give you a silver ingot." ”

Xiao Er's face was bitter, "Please forgive this lady, the small shop is a small profit, and in a deserted place like Yunmeng, it is all ordinary food and drink, and you can eat this ingot and silver with us for a month......"

The implication is that our food and drink are too cheap and coarse, and your requirements are too high for us to serve.

When Xiao Rui heard this, his face darkened, "Hmph, open your eyes and see clearly, what kind of hair ornament is she?" ”

Yes? Hair accessories?

Xiao Er took a closer look and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the villain misunderstood, it turned out to be a young lady, forgive me." The villain is a little ...... when he sees such a distinguished guest as you for the first time."

Xiao Changle was overjoyed by a word of Mrs., and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, then go, this ingot of silver will reward you." You're a good talker. Whatever you have in the store, just don't fool around. ”

Ancient women's hair accessories are very particular, there is a strict difference between out of the cabinet and not out of the cabinet, Xiao Changle has not yet been out of the cabinet, it is a girl's hair bun, not a woman's hair bun.

Xiao Er turned his head to arrange food and drink.

Xiao Changle persuaded Xiao Rui and said, "Oh, Brother Zangfeng, what are you doing bullying a subordinate?" People are also well-intentioned. ”

What?

What do you call me?

Xiao Rui glared fiercely, "I'm your ......"

"You are my brother Zangfeng!" Xiao Changle covered Xiao Rui's mouth, lowered his voice and said, "You said that you would listen to me for everything, and you haven't arrived in Chang'an yet, you have to abide by the agreement." If you dare to debunk it here, hum ......"

You......

Alas, what sins I did in my last life!

After a while, a simple table of four dishes and one soup was served, one meat and three vegetables, although they are all ordinary wild vegetables, but they are clean and fresh, and it can be seen that they are attentive.

The two of them ate quietly, the small shop gradually returned to the past, the diners chatted while eating in twos and threes, so lively, Tiannan Haibei, trivial everything was chatted, and soon there was news of Dongting Lake.

"Did you hear that? This time, the Jingxiang Sailor strongly surrounded Dongting Lake, and the imperial court released a word, saying that not a single fly would be allowed to fly out of Dongting Lake. That Dongting water bandit is really going to be planted. ”

"Isn't it, in the past, the Dongting Lake bandits said that they would gather 100,000 people, and there were people everywhere around them, but now it seems that they are all bluffing, and as soon as the court moves seriously, they will be exposed."

"That is, it is said that the one who led the team to suppress the bandits this time was the imperial court Qincha, a member of the three ranks, and the famous black-faced prime minister Wei Zheng."

Burst......

The rice in Xiao Rui's mouth squirted out directly, and he glanced at Xiao Changle in disbelief, both of them were shocked, and they said no? The imperial court sent Qin to send Lao Wei to personally lead the team to suppress bandits? It's impossible, Lao Wei is a civil official! Besides, the Dongting Lake water bandit was personally recommended by me, could it be that the imperial court found out that it was wrong? Are the Lai brothers lying to us?

"Hurry up and eat, we'll have to hurry when we're done." Xiao Rui urged, and Xiao Changle nodded heavily.
