Tangyin County in Xiangzhou is named after a stream of water flowing through the county. Later, Taizong Li Shimin changed it to soup because of the lukewarm water, and by the way, the word "Dangyuan" in this county in Sui was changed to the name "Tangyin". There are too many stories worth listening to: the Tibetan Shang Bigan, the imprisoned King Wen of Zhou, the eternal saint Confucius lectured here, and the talented Cao Zhi wrote poems here......

It is in this place rich in many legends that there is a garden that walks through the corridor and walks through the pavilion, and the stones are piled up around the water. There is an octagonal pavilion in the center of this garden, the pavilion is more than a zhang high, red bricks, red tiles and red wood, the east and west sides are winding paths, and the north and south sides are clusters of flowers.

There is only one round stone table in the pavilion, and two round stone piers are placed on the opposite side. This stone table and stone pier are all made of fine Qinzhou marble stone, a water of jade jade pattern, without a trace of impurities, and also paved with smooth satin like a mat. There were no more than one pot or two on the stone table, and nothing else. It's just that the wine pot and wine cup are all the best Xingyao white porcelain, the glaze is smooth, its color is pure white, and it is like silver and snow. On one of the stone piers sat a young man in a white robe with hosta hairpin, drinking alone.

This young man has a fair complexion and is very handsome, his name is Yuan Zifeng, and he is the young master of Changbai. The Changbai faction has always been as famous as Bingmen, and the two factions have a long history. The difference is that although Changbai is also very mysterious, the world knows that this Changbai is on Changbai Mountain, but ordinary people can't go up Changbai Mountain. Changbai has not moved for many years, and has almost disappeared. Only in recent years, this young man who calls himself the "Young Master of Changbai" has often been in and out of the rivers and lakes. He loved to wander around and make friends in his life, from the North Desert to Nanchuan, through the East China Sea to the West Plains, and in a few years, he also mixed up a big name, and this garden was given to him by a friend he made.

Yuan Zifeng loved white in his life, so his clothes and utensils were mostly white. At this time, although he was drinking alone, he also filled the other cup with wine.

Yuan Zifeng was only two cups down, and he only heard a sound of breaking the sky, and a hidden weapon shot at him. Yuan Zifeng didn't raise his head, and hurriedly sent out the cup of wine with the force of his palm, just rubbing the incoming object, causing the strength of the hidden weapon to decrease sharply and easily fall into his hands. On the contrary, the wine cup was dripping and spinning, and the more it went, the faster it went. Although the force of the wine cup flying out was not small, not a single drop of the wine inside was spilled.

The man was not in a hurry, opened his lips slightly, and then held the wine cup, and then raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp, and did not forget to praise it in his mouth: "What a cup of Sangluo wine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man landed on the stone pier. In addition to him, there was a big man in a beard standing beside him. This person seems to be only twenty years old, younger than Yuan Zifeng. He was richly dressed and heroic, but he had a black blindfold on his face, and he was actually a one-eyed man, which added a touch of cruelty to his heroic face.

Yuan Zifeng spread out his palm, but the hidden weapon in his hand was a note, with flying handwriting, half-revealed sharpness, and it read: "Shatuo Li Ke is used to beg for wine." ”

The person who came was actually Li Keyong of Shatuo! This Shatuo clan was also the former Turkic Chuyue clan. This Li Ke used his surname Zhu Xie, and his father Zhu Xie Chixin was given the national surname by the Emperor Li for his meritorious service in the conquest of Pang Xun who rebelled in Guizhou. When he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he followed his father to fight, and he was accustomed to destroying the front and no one was outstanding, so the army regarded him as a "flying tiger".

Li Keyong also once competed with the Tatar people, and it happened that a pair of eagle owls flew in the sky, and the Tatar people asked him if he could shoot down the two eagles with one arrow. After hearing this, Li Ke drew his bow and arrow on his horse, and with a sound of breaking the air, the two eagles fell in response, and everyone obeyed.

Li Ke became famous as a teenager, and everyone in the world knew his bravery, but he actually arrived in the Central Plains today. The burly man standing beside him, with an eagle nose and a lion's mouth, and a yellow beard, was his entourage servant, named Hu Luyong.

As soon as Li Keyong sat down, he took the wine cup in his mouth and played with it, nodded and said: "I have heard that 'South Green and North White' is the best in the world, and it is true." ”

Yuan Zifeng poured the wine for him, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't come to be harmed, isn't it? Why are you willing to go south to the Central Plains? Aren't you greedy for Yuan's good wine and good glass?"

Li Keyong also smiled: "Although the little brother is in the sand, he still has some grape wine, and the cup of luminous light." ”

Yuan Zifeng shook his head and said: "The wine of the Western Regions, whether it is wine or wine, or Sanle pulp, in the end, there is no wine aroma but no wine smell, so don't drink it." ”

Li Keyong didn't argue, but he changed his mouth and said: "I'm staying away from Shatuo this time, I'm going to Caozhou, and I need Brother Yuan to take care of me along the way." ”

Yuan Zifeng said with a smile: "Brother Li, you and I hit it off at first sight in the early years, and we are no better than others. It's just that you are going to Caozhou, isn't it also for the "Qinglian Jue"?"

Li Keyong drank another cup: "What do I want that thing for? I want to see that Wang Xianzhi." However, heroes like Chu Jiangkai and others, if they can be used by me, it will naturally be great. ”

Yuan Zifeng quipped: "It's not simple, can't you kill Wang Xianzhi?"

Li Keyong glared at him angrily: "If I have this ability, I might as well go to the court to ask for a reward." ”

Yuan Zifeng laughed and said, "If you don't kill Wang Xianzhi, then what are you going to do with him?"

Rick smiled but didn't answer. Yuan Zifeng felt bored, and said: "Brother Li stooped to come here with the respect of 'staying behind', why don't you find a few girls to serve you well?"

Li Ke snorted: "You only want me to be the same as you, and you can't do anything to favor Fengyue!"

Yuan Zifeng laughed and begged for mercy: "Okay, good, you Li Liuhou has the world in mind, not close to women, where is it comparable to ordinary people like me!"

Li Keyong had to shake his head helplessly when he heard this, he really couldn't win against this person.

After eating, Yuan Zifeng, Li Keyong, and Hu Luyong set off for Caozhou. When you arrive at the junction of Xiangzhou and Weizhou, you have to change horses and take a boat. The three of them came to the ferry, only to see a dilapidated stone tablet standing on the side of the ferry, the handwriting on it has been blown and rained for many years, although it has been repaired several times, but it is also very blurry, and it can barely be recognized as the three characters of "Fei Pian Bay".

The reason why this ferry port is named "Feihui Bay" is because from here you can go south down the river to Wei County in Weizhou, which was called Qiyi in the Shang Dynasty, that is, Chaoge. Qishui made a bend here, and there was this ancient ferry.

Dozens of boats, large and small, were parked at this ancient ferry, and the sound of boat shadows shuttling back and forth in the river. Yuan Zifeng and Li Keyong are both rich and noble, and they have always been generous and do not skimp on money. So he hired the largest boat, and boarded it with men and horses.

The big boat entered the level steadily, and Yuan Zifeng and Li Keyong walked out of the cabin to see the scenery on the river. The two stood side by side in the bow of the boat, their clothes hunting in the river breeze. Yuan Zifeng opened a folding fan with his hand, and the fan was painted with splashed ink on one side, and the four flying characters "Invite the Wind and Invite the Moon" were written on the other, which was scolded by Li Ke with a smile as a vassal elegance.

Looking at the vast Qi water, going back and forth to the boat, Li Keyong couldn't help but sigh: "This Qi water was originally a tributary of the Yellow River, but Cao Mengde made a weir in Qikou back then, letting it flow to the northeast into Baigou, so the water here has been very smooth for hundreds of years." The ancients were so eloquent and strategic, not only able to replace the society and save the common people, but also to change the mountains and rivers for the benefit of future generations, which is really fascinating to our generation. ”

Yuan Zifeng played with the taste: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, countless canals have been opened to divert water from all over the country, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also spent six years, spent millions of labors, opened various canals, connected five rivers, and stretched for thousands of miles, why did he end up with the destruction of the country and his infamy?"

Li Keyong shook his head and said: "Others are for the public, and Yang Guang is for selfishness." This private and public is naturally very different. However, although Yang Guang has been infamy, the benefits of this canal should be in the future. ”

Yuan Zifeng was noncommittal when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Li is also a young hero, how is it better than Cao Mengde?"

Li Keyong didn't answer, but asked, "What does Brother Yuan think?"

Yuan Zifeng pondered for a moment or two, and said with a sly smile: "Dare to win, the strategy is worthwhile, and it is better to be treacherous." ”

Li Ke laughed out loud when he heard this.

The two were talking and laughing, only to hear the sound of a flute suddenly coming from the river, and the sound of the wind and water, like the sound of heaven. It is also vague, intermittent, and very provocative. Yuan Zifeng was quite fluent, and when he listened carefully, it was actually coming from a boat not far ahead. He praised in a lost voice: "This song is played beautifully, but I don't know who this flute is." ”

Li Keyong smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? He made the boatmen speed up.

The big ship was full of oars, and it was easy to break the waves, and it caught up in a moment. When the two boats were close to each other, only ten zhang away, Yuan Zifeng looked at the boat, and saw a green-shirted woman standing on the bow of the boat, with a flute in both hands, blowing to herself. Yuan Zifeng saw that this woman was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was blown by the river breeze, and her demeanor was myriad, so he laughed loudly: "Hey, which girl is playing the flute here, why don't you play another song for my son?!"

When the woman in the green shirt heard this, she stopped playing the flute and glanced at the place, but instead of being angry, she stretched out her finger and smiled, "If you can beat him, I will follow you." ”

At first, Yuan Zifeng was only attracted by the sound of the flute and the woman, and did not pay attention to anything else, but then followed the place where the woman was pointing, and saw a young man in Tsing Yi standing side by side on the inside of the woman.
