Chapter 113: Peace and Prosperity

The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower.

Fireworks in March down to Yangzhou.

The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless.

Only see the skyline flow of the river river.

……

Unlike some of Qin Lang's own innate vague memories, this poem was written by an unknown poet of the previous dynasty, and it belongs to one of the few literary works that has been handed down during the war of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Nowadays, with the increasing popularity of the literary style, it has gradually become one of the most popular masterpieces.

Yangzhou in March is undoubtedly a livable place that everyone yearns for, but time does not need to die so badly, like the current late April and early May.

……

Yangzhou Mansion during the day, without the embellishment of fine wine and lamps and candles, may not be as noisy as at night.

But the big and small streets, Dongxifang City, and the riverbank are still full of fireworks in the world.

The hawkers' shouting, the pedestrians' conversations, the children's laughter, the shouts of the Jianghu people... Sounds flowed through the neighborhood and inside and outside the shops, quickly waking up the guests in one of the two rooms of the Blessed Inn.

"Whew-~"

Su Yupan, who had finished washing, stood at the window, feeling the soft morning light and morning breeze, looking at the people coming downstairs outside the window, a happy smile faintly appeared on the corner of his lips.

Yangzhou locals have the habit of eating morning tea, and during the rich and leisurely breakfast, Su Yupan even saw that in a restaurant opposite, there were operas singing slow-key Huangmei opera, and in another restaurant, there were early maiko.

While the people were eating all kinds of morning tea slowly, chatting under the influence of singing and dancing, looking at the comfortable atmosphere, a certain empress couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Singing and dancing, showing the prosperity of the world..."

"This is the prosperous world?"

“?!”

Su Yupan was startled, turned his head to look at Qin Lang who pushed the door in, and wrapped the clothes on his body:

"How did you get in?"

"I knocked on the door, and Sumire let me in."

"Oh..."

The empress was enjoying the beautiful scenery under her rule, but she didn't pay attention to this.

"Where's Sumire?"

"Hey, Zhen Ji went."

I went to visit Zhen Ji early in the morning, this girl was in this habit when she was in Qingniugang, and it is still like this.

"You... What are you doing? ”

Seeing Qin Lang coming over, the empress keenly felt that she might be hugged again.

"Hug you."

“……”

Sure enough.

Su Yupan stared at Qin Lang's eyes, and saw that his left eye said [Reasonable] and his right eye said [Of course], his eyelashes trembled, and he didn't have any extra thoughts now, so he let out an "oh" directly.

"Then you hug it..."

Qin Lang hugged him, and Su Yupan immediately realized that something was not right, and gently pushed him away:

"Wait!"

“?”

"I'll get dressed first..."

Su Yupan was simply wearing a robe at this time, with no belt or anything, and his scattered placket was supported by the pair of white and fat jade rabbits raised on his chest.

"Huh?"

Qin Lang is eyes suddenly lit up, causing Su Yupan to suddenly tighten the clothes on his body vigilantly:

"What do you see..."

"Your words on this... Changed, huh? ”

“?”

Su Yupan followed Qin Lang's gaze and looked at the white cloth wrapped in his heart.

She and her sister Su Yinhua have the same inconvenient figure for horseback riding, so she also chose to wrap her breasts as underwear when she went out this time.

Last time, Su Yinhua wrote the word "Jianghu" on his chest.

And this time, I don't know if it's the sisters' common hobby, or the tacit understanding that they all agree on, Su Yupan also wrote the word "world" on his chest.

Su Yinhua has the rivers and lakes in mind.

Su Yupan has the world in mind.

It seems reasonable, but Qin Lang still doesn't know the true identity of the person in front of him, and stares at her white [Tianxia] for a while, and looks a little fascinated.

In this world...

It's majestic...

"Ahem, that's it, I'll get it dressed later."

"Huh?"

Qin Lang skillfully hugged the empress from behind, and this time, the crossed arms were slightly supported on the ground, and it could only be said that he felt a kind of happiness inexplicably.

“……”

And Su Yupan felt his small movements, tensed his body and felt deeply ashamed, but also forcibly calm and calm, and asked:

"You used to... It's so frivolous... Have you treated me..."

"Frivolous? Before? ”

Qin Lang first loosened his arm weakly, and didn't deliberately "hold it up", and then said solemnly:

"Silver bottle, why don't you believe me? I said it before, it's for the acupoint, but there's no way. ”

“?”

Point point...

Su Yupan remembered that Qin Lang said that his sister was crying at the acupoint, and suddenly guessed something in his heart, and his eyebrows trembled:

"Last time... Where are the holes? ”

"Just..."

Qin Lang recalled and poked it.

Boom~

"Ah~?!"

Su Yupan only felt that a small electric current rushed all over his body in an instant, his heart trembled, his back, forehead and cheeks were all hot, and he bit his silver teeth and glared at Qin Lang angrily while panting.

"Uh..."

Qin Lang didn't expect the other party to react so much, silently withdrew his fingers, and said embarrassedly:

"This... The things that point out the acupoints, let's remember them later..."

……

Alas, a woman's heart is really a needle under the sea.

Speaking of which, Su Yinhua had been so bold and took the initiative to kiss herself before, but now she was so reserved in this slightly intimate contact, and she didn't know if her standards were a little unpredictable, or if she was indeed a little impatient.

……

Qin Langqiang suppressed the urge to slap [the world] twice, so he calmly hugged Su Yupan and looked at the scenery outside with her.

"Hey..."

"Huh?"

"You just said...'This is the end of the world?' What is the meaning? ”

"Hey, this time you go to the capital, you really have the world in mind."

Qin Lang smiled:

"I'll just combine your exclamation with two casual words, just want to say that singing and dancing does not necessarily mean a peaceful and prosperous world."

“……”

No one cares more about the world than the empress of the Great Zhou, and no one cares more about people's opinions about the current Great Zhou rivers and mountains than the empress.

Therefore, hearing Qin Lang's evaluation, Su Yupan was naturally very concerned.

"Isn't singing and dancing a prosperous age?"

"Hmm... Let's put it this way, there is a poem in the previous dynasty, called "The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river", which shows that sometimes the singing and dancing do not necessarily represent the prosperity of the country. ”

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country... Across the river, I still sing the flowers in the backyard..."

Su Yupan muttered this sentence, and then his face was slightly cold:

"I don't have the hatred of the country in Da Zhou, the people are happy, isn't it good to sing more children's songs and dance more?"

"The so-called born in sorrow, died in peace."

Su Yupan's heart was completely gloomy:

"Qin Lang, what do you mean?"

"Harm, it's far away, in fact, if you go back to the peaceful and prosperous world, I can only say that the Great Zhou is not a peaceful and prosperous era at all now...... Although the wars in the world have temporarily stopped, but the north is still eyeing the tiger, and the southwest countries are not at peace, if it is not to the extent that the four directions come to congratulate the eight directions, the Great Zhou can never be called a real peaceful and prosperous era. ”

Su Yupan's face was even more unsightly:

"According to your meaning, it is okay to continue to be like the first emperor, with constant wars and the people on the border suffering from harsh forced labor?"

"It doesn't matter if it's good or not, it's important if it's supposed to be."

Qin Lang naturally couldn't detect the change in Su Yupan's expression from behind him, and continued to say casually:

"Anyway, I think that before reaching the real peaceful and prosperous world, blindly pursuing happiness will sooner or later lead to the day when [the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river]...... I think that when the first emperor was in the so-called reckless army, he also felt that the Great Zhou had not yet reached the time of peace..."

"Bold!"

With a coquettish shout, Qin Lang felt in a trance that his body seemed to be shaken open by the woman in his arms, and he looked at it in a daze, the woman in front of him was staring at him coldly, and the faint aura made him feel like he couldn't help but want to look up.
