Chapter 12: Single-handedness

Xiao Ruoshui and Princess Chiba pretended to be brother and sister, and took a leisurely boat ride down the canal along the way, on a passenger boat of 100 people, on the canal from Luoyang to Hangzhou, the two have been enjoying the artistic conception of "fireworks in Yangzhou in March". Since the departure from Luoyang, there have been countless ships coming and going along the canal, and they are the largest and most luxurious passenger ships in it. It can carry more than 100 visitors in total, and each room is spacious and bright, and you can see the scenery outside when you open the window, and you can sleep quietly during the day when you close the window. , There are 4 floors up and down, the boat is large and stable, there is no feeling of bumps and shaking at all, of course, the price of such a ship is not cheap, fortunately, Xiao Ruoshui has the silver in his pocket that the eighth prince sent the task, which is nothing. The water of the canal is also slow and there are no waves. During the day, they can stand on the boat and enjoy the scenery, and when it is time to replenish and eat, they can go ashore to stroll around, to see the scenery and cultural atmosphere of the town along the river, and they can also eat local unique snacks, and they can also buy things. Xiao Ruoshui, who was carrying things, didn't know what the Dao Dao had become. Until one day, Xiao Ruoshui, who was sitting at the table, watched the princess eat on the bed and at the table, and couldn't help but speak.

"You're eating, beware that I can't hold you, don't blame me if you're taken away. ”

The princess put down her snack in the cabin, looked in the mirror and turned around. Touched his lower abdomen, "I didn't see fat, it's the same as before, do you want to be lazy, because you don't want to take me away, deliberately beat the side drum for me?" The princess suddenly rushed to Xiao Ruoshui and asked with big eyes.

Xiao Ruoshui was startled by the head that suddenly appeared in front of him, "Don't be scary, okay, we are running away, not traveling, especially if you are on vacation by yourself, I don't know how dangerous it is outside the road, go ashore every day to buy this and that, not afraid that others will find out?"

Princess Chiba circled around Xiao Ruoshui several times, and then leaned over on the table and said to Xiao Ruoshui, who was reading, "Are you worried that I will be arrested, or are you worried that I am fat?"

"I'm worried that you won't be able to run if you're fat, and I won't be able to hold it, and we'll die together. Xiao Ruoshui said angrily.

"Don't you like fat girls very much, but what kind of girls do you like?" asked the princess curiously.

Xiao Ruoshui looked at the princess, a smiling face appeared in front of him, and the delicate and lovely face of the spirit kite appeared in front of him, he couldn't help laughing, immersed in the beautiful memories.

"Wake up, what are you dreaming about in the daytime, let me ask you. The princess pushed Xiao Ruoshui's head, which was intoxicated with thoughts, and said loudly.

Xiao Ruoshui was interrupted and was very annoyed, and said angrily: "I won't tell you what you like, I'll tell you if you don't like it, I don't like you anyway, I only know how to spend money a day, and I don't know how to make money hard." ”

"Stingy ghost, just know that you feel sorry for money, isn't it just a few hundred taels of silver, and when the time comes, I will return it to you with interest, little seven ghosts, not like a man. The princess sat down on the bed in a huff, closed the window casually, and said in a loud voice, "Sleep, sleep." I'm not going shopping today. ”。 After speaking, he directly pulled the quilt on his head, and actually pulled it up and snored.

Xiao Ruoshui shook his head, put down the book, pushed open the door of the guest room, and walked to the highest part of the ship, the platform on the top of the 4th floor, surrounded by a fence, tables and chairs were fixed on the deck, and there were people buying wine and food next to it, Xiao Ruoshui walked to an empty table and sat down. I asked for a few side dishes, a pot of wine, watched the boats on the canal and mountains, looked at the green mountains and green waters on the shore, watched the people coming and going on the shore, the people were blowing the river breeze on the boat, the boat went downstream, and the scenery on both sides of the bank was reflected. A few more bites of side dishes, a few sips of wine, in the spring of March, all the way to Yangzhou.

The fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March, and Xiao Ruoshui unconsciously read a sentence in his mouth.

"Wow, you ran out to eat and drink by yourself, spend money and enjoy, let me sleep in the cabin, you hate it. When a voice appeared, Xiao Ruoshui's head was already big, and the people at the table next to him looked at him with disdain.

Xiao Ruoshui is a head and two big, he didn't look back, he didn't pay attention to her. Continue drinking and eating and enjoying the scenery.

"Xiao Er, give me three catties of cooked beef and two pots of wine. But, everybody's gone. The princess shouted loudly as if a wife hated her husband and hated iron but not steel.

Xiao Ruoshui's eyes were black, and he grabbed her and pulled her to sit down, "Don't make trouble, are you afraid that everyone won't know about us?" Xiao Ruoshui whispered.

"Don't do this in the future, do you hear?" After speaking, he also tapped Xiao Ruoshui's forehead with his hand, Xiao Ruoshui was stunned for a while, "What's wrong with me, what do you say?"

The princess ignored the fork and said, "Forget it if you admit your mistake today, and don't make it in the future."

After speaking, he picked up a piece of beef and ate it with relish. From time to time, he also took a sip of wine, "Not bad, not bad." "I keep boasting about the quality of the food.

Xiao Ruoshui was full of emotion, and the sympathetic eyes next to him had been surrounding him, and he pretended not to see it, but the atmosphere of drinking was gone, and his mood was gone. It wasn't until it was slightly dark that the princess finished eating, and she was a little drunk and pulled Xiao Ruoshui and refused to let go, Xiao Ruoshui had to hold her, slowly walked down the stairs, and sent her into the room.

As soon as she entered the room, the princess opened her eyes, put her arms around Xiao Ruoshui's neck and said, "Isn't it possible to hold it, who said it can't be moved?"

Xiao Ruoshui was dizzy for a while, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he threw her directly into the quilt on the bed, and he felt deceived for a while, I didn't know how to say it, vented it, and fell asleep directly on the bed. When the princess rushed over and got angry, hit him, and kicked him, he pretended to be a dead pig, and he ignored it as if nothing had happened.

In the following days, the two of them went back and forth like this, fighting wits and courage, fighting and fighting, and slowly marched towards Yangzhou in the spring.

Being young is good, with a lot of time, a flying passion, and the generosity and sincerity to forgive.

In the Eight Princes' Mansion, it is still a chess room, and King Xiao and Wen Yuetian are still playing chess.

"The subordinates got the report of the flying pigeon, near the Mianchi in Henan, in the canal village of Shaanxi, the white tiger and the green dragon guard of the king of Yan have been robbed and killed, and the murderer used the emperor's fist and ordinary knives, it should not be a person who killed alone, and the time is not right. According to my estimation, the two groups of people should be in order to contain the people of King Yan, and the strategy of attacking the east and west is mainly to cover the princess all the way to Suzhou and reduce pressure and resistance. Wen Yuetian whispered to King Xiao.

"Pawn nine into one, pawn five into one, pawn seven into one" King Xiao walked first with the nine-way pawn, looked at the chessboard and said: "The pawn is divided, it's not good, let's help them connect together."

Wen Yuetian looked at the chess game and said: "They ignore the pawn and let the pawn move by himself, in fact, King Yan should understand that the pawn can't kill the handsome, so don't care about it, let them make trouble, the purpose is to make the pawn old It's useless." Sure enough, it's a master who is instructing."

"My father has already talked to me about the fourth brother's return to Beijing, and I firmly agreed to King Yan's return to Beijing in front of my father, but my father was a little hesitant. King Xiao said.

"Duan Wangye, Hefu Wangye will immediately ask King Yan to return to Beijing, if he stops him, it is better to resolutely let King Yan return to Beijing, so that it seems that you take care of the overall situation and have deep brotherhood." Wen Yuetian said with a smile.

"Even after King Yan comes back, we will definitely adjust our arrangement, we can give up some non-critical positions, but the key positions must not be moved, otherwise there will be problems. King Xiao said.

"Our adjustment is almost over, just waiting for King Yan to make a move, we let King Yan say, I can't say it, if the emperor doesn't order, you will pretend to be confused. See who's dragging whom. Wen Yuetian said.

King Xiao smiled and said: "It's in the middle of the game, you can't be careless, it's better to protect yourself first, let others attack." ”

"Lord Wang, aren't you afraid that others will attack and kick on the iron plate?" Wen Yuetian smiled. Look out the door.

"If you don't kick the iron plate, how do you know that your feet hurt?" said King Xiao, looking at the chessboard. Looking back at the door, he smiled bitterly at Wen Yuetian.

"Dangdangdang" After a while, there was a knock at the door. King Xiao shook his head, smiled and went to open the door,

Murong Yan appeared in front of him with two bowls of steaming porridge with a smile on her face.

"Ai Concubine, don't do these things yourself in the future, just let the maid do it, see how tired you are. King Xiao hurriedly took the porridge, put it aside, and reached out to wipe the sweat on Murong Yan's forehead, but was blocked by Murong Yan, and smiled in the direction of Wen Yuetian. King Xiao looked back, Wen Yuetian looked up at the sky, and he didn't see it. When the two turned around, Wen Yuetian hurriedly saluted Murong Yan.

Murong Yan replied: "Mr. Wen's name is known all over the world, the spring is hot and dry, and the little woman is not talented, so I boiled two bowls of porridge with a clear fire, I hope Mr. Wen and my husband can taste it together." ”

"How can someone Wen, how dare he drink porridge with King Xiao, and he still drinks porridge made by the princess herself, which is really tormenting Wen. Wen Yuetian hurriedly saluted and excused himself.

"Come, Mr. Wen, you're welcome, Yan'er is hardworking, let's not let it down." King Xiao took Mr. Wen's hand and said.

Wen Yuetian couldn't refuse, so he had to drink the porridge quickly, and was grateful again and again, but Murong Yan's craftsmanship was really good, the porridge was smooth but not greasy, and it melted in the mouth, which was really delicious.

After eating the porridge, Wen Yuetian quickly retired.

"Lord Wang, you haven't finished playing this chess yet, can you accept it?" Murong Yan looked at the chessboard and asked King Xiao.

"Look at you, just call me by my nickname when no one is around, just call me Xiaorui, don't call me any prince, that chess is not accepted, and I will play with Mr. Wen tomorrow." King Xiao said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, it's not early, it's time to go to bed, you go to bed early. Murong Yan looked at King Xiao and said.

"It's so late, let's go and sleep together, don't play tricks today. King Xiao scratched Murong Yan's nose, Murong Yan's face turned red, and her eyes looked at King Xiao like water. He held the palm of King Xiao's hand tightly. The two of them walked together to the bedroom. The newlywed Murong Yan was already full of happiness and smiles, and she was all tolerant.

There are a lot of things that have just happened in spring, and it is also a day when everything begins to sprout life, and it is really a beautiful season, a beautiful day.
