In the autumn of the Huai River, the sky is blue and the water is clear, and the white sails are dotted. Bayi Middle School     √W』w    W√.

It took her more than twenty days to walk from Feng'an to Huaihe River. In the past twenty days, the little fish lost a lot. For her, who was determined to gain weight, this trip to Jiangnan was a bit of a shame. If she had known this, she would have been so cruel at the beginning.

Before going south, Yang Hao had to take his wife and who to take him. He had a lot of thought. He said he wouldn't take it. The two months of journey was boring and lonely at night. He wanted to take it. The two places were thousands of miles apart and were sleeping in the open, so he really couldn't bear it. In the end, he decided to give the choice to the three of them, and whether to go or not.

Lu Rui had the strongest desire to go. Since the night at the foot of Fairy Mountain, Yang Hao's attitude towards her has been turned 180 degrees, sticking together every day, and singing endlessly. If he suddenly left for two months, how could he endure it? But when he thought of the hardships of the journey, Lu Rui felt timid. From Feng'an to Chaotian Avenue in Xiazhou, he was only a few hundred miles away. He was so tired that he felt uncomfortable for several days as if he had cramps and bones. After traveling thousands of miles back and forth, did he still want to live?

She was the first to raise her hand and said she couldn't go, then lowered her head, so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at Yang Hao's eyes.

Qing'er and Xiaoyu's wish to go is far less strong than Lu Rui, especially Xiaoyu. She has a deep understanding of the hardships of long-distance travel. In addition, she is determined to develop a white and fat appearance, so she also expressed her opinion that she would not go.

Qing'er was somewhere between them, and she had reasons to convince herself whether to go or not. When Xiaoyu and Lu Rui both expressed their opinions that they would not go, Qing'er cleared her throat and said, "It seems that I am the only one who follows you, there must be someone who will take care of you."

Qing'er can naturally make everything easier when she is around her, but Yang Hao doesn't want to take care of her. First, there must be someone in charge of her family. Xiaoyu and Lu Rui can't manage themselves well, let alone others. Second, Qing'er is famous for being serious about doing things, and Yang Hao doesn't want to take a sister to manage herself all the way. So he pretended to be irritable and pointed at the three of them and said, "It's not interesting to go there. I'm free to go alone."

That night, Yang Hao hid and refused to go home on the excuse of handling official duties, so he stayed at the welcome hotel overnight, and ignored anyone.

Just as the second day was dawn, Xiaoyu came over and knelt on the head of the bed and asked, "Is the silk in Jiangnan good and cheap?" Yang Hao pinched her nose and asked, "Have you changed your mind again?" Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You will have to come back for two months, I can't bear to leave you." Yang Hao took her with him when he was happy.

The information room was also accompanied by Yang Hao, Zhang Bozhong, the co-minister of Nei Temple Fang, Muli, the secretary of the book office, Mulanqing, the guards Zhang Lang, Li Wei, Zhang Xiao, and Wu Zhang. The sphere of influence of the intelligence room was limited to the two capitals and Hebei. To the south, they became blind and deaf. Yang Hao only called two gans to follow him in order to decipher the secret letter sent by Guan Suo.

In order to save time, Yang Hao did not choose to take the Yellow River waterway, but went straight to Yingzhou from the dry road, then abandoned his horse and took a boat, and headed south through the Grand Canal. He stayed in a village at the foot of Bagong Mountain in Shouzhou this night. This was a small town along the river with only one small street and hundreds of families. Li Wei and Zhang Lang went to book a guest room.

There are only more than ten rooms in the countryside shop, with doors crowded together next to door. The doors of a guest room are open, and a man and a woman are sitting opposite each other in chess. The man is in his early twenties, wearing a brocade dress and jade face, and showing off his talent. When Yang Hao saw him, he was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking. This man was actually King Ying Li Yan!

The little fish who followed Yang Hao noticed Yang Hao's disobedience, but she was wrong. She thought that Yang Hao was shocked to admire the woman's beauty. So she felt deeply jealous and twisted Yang Hao's thighs hard.

"Ouch!" Yang Hao was thinking about how to deal with Li Yan. He was twisted by Xiaoyu and couldn't help but scream.

Li Yan and the woman looked out at the same time.

Yang Hao was very embarrassed. He wanted to hide at this moment, but it was not convenient to treat him in this crowded place, so he seemed a little helpless. The woman in red who was playing chess with Li Yan stood up, Tingting walked out in a graceful way, stretched out her delicate hand and grabbed Xiaoyu, and said in surprise: "Sister, why are you here too?" Xiaoyu was stupid. He didn't know this person at all?

Yang Hao immediately understood what she meant and said casually: "Yes, it's such a coincidence." As he said that, he greeted the servant behind him and walked into Li Yan's room.

As soon as the door was closed, Yang Hao wanted to lift his clothes to worship, but was stopped by Li Yan: "There are no polite people in the mountains and villages." Then he held Yang Hao's hand and looked at it and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. It's rare that you can recognize your orphan at a glance." Then he turned to Wang Fu'er and said, "Did you say it's a coincidence that we just changed our minds and met an old friend here."

Seeing Yang Hao's respectful expression to Li Yan, Xiaoyu was secretly surprised when he heard him calling himself lonely. Just now, the woman she was still laughing at was thin and not rich. Now she re-examined the woman in front of her. In addition to her beautiful and suffocating face, the thin bee waisted arms that were originally laughed at by her suddenly felt beautiful. Xiaoyu's standard about women's beauty was suddenly subverted. It turned out that slenderness and thinness were noble and beautiful.

The woman opened her red lips lightly and said, "My name is Wang Fu'er, you can call me Sister Fu'er in the future."

Yang Hao did not realize that this unexpected meeting would completely change his future life trajectory. In order to cover up, Li Yan asked Yang Hao to call him Brother Yan, and he called Yang Hao to be Brother Yang. He invited Yang Hao and Xiaoyu to take the same boat with him. Although Yang Hao politely declined his kindness, he agreed to walk with him. From then on, Yang Hao's boat could only follow his big boat, and most of the time he and Xiaoyu spent on Li Yan's big boat.

At the first few days, Yang Hao was still trembling and uncomfortable, but as time went by, he gradually realized that Li Yan was actually a good person to get along with. He was honest and had a bad temper sometimes, but he was just angry. He always treated Mu Bin around him with the courtesy of a scholar and a doctor. From Mu Bin's relaxed expression when he talked to him, it can be seen that Li Yan's sincerity and humility was not deliberately pretending, but his nature.

When the boat was docked at the Yangzhou Wharf, Yang Hao and Li Yan had a friend-like intimacy. The little fish had long become a follower beside Wang Fuer. Every morning, they would rush to see Wang Fuer when they opened their eyes. When they came back in the evening, they would open their mouths and "Sister Fuer" and shut up, and they would scream intimately. If they met Li Yan, Yang Hao and Mubin had a banquet all night, she would share the same bed with Wang Fuer, which would be hard to tell the difference between you and me.

Yangzhou was already a prosperous metropolis in the world as early as the Sui Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, the northern population moved southward in large numbers and the economic center gradually moved southward. In addition, the separatist rule of the northern vassal states became increasingly serious after the Anshi Rebellion. The war between the vassal states and the central government never stopped, and the social economy was seriously damaged. At this time, Yangzhou's prosperity was far ahead of traditional cities such as Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan, and Chengdu.

The world of desolate wine is carried by the rivers and lakes, and the waist is slender and the palm is light. After ten years of dreams of Yangzhou, I have won the reputation of being a poor brothel.

Yang Hao initially felt the prosperity of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty from Du Mu's "Exiting My Thoughts". The poet Du Mu once served as a Mu Bin at the place where the governor of Huainan Jienan Niu Sengru was written when he was the most lonely. Yang Hao read many of his poems in later generations, but he did not know much about his life and deeds. He did not know that the poet Du Mu, who was observing the Xuanhui area, was a Mu Bin. It was not too far from this place.

Perhaps inspired by this poem, as soon as the boat landed, Li Yan took everyone to the city with great enthusiasm to find the artistic conception depicted in the poem. The beauty in Yangzhou is the best in the world, and this statement is true. A beauties like Wang Fuer, who are among the best in the capital, could not help but feel a little angry when they arrived in Yangzhou. Xiaoyu was so inferior that he almost hid back on the boat.

The purpose of everyone's trip was the famous Yijiang Tower in Yangzhou. Half a mile away, the roadside was filled with carriages and horses. The beautifully dressed young man, the young talented man with a height above the top, had many travels across the river.

Yijiang Tower is built by the lake, five floors high and surrounded by water on three sides. After nightfall, it was decorated with hundreds of lights and was so beautiful that it was so beautiful. The silk, bamboo and string music, beautiful wine and red skirts were drunk before they could reach it. The little fish was completely stunned by the lights. She could no longer tell the difference between the east, south and the middle, so she had to hold Wang Fuer's arm and was led away by her. Wang Fuer also bit her lips tightly at this moment and became reserved. She felt a sense of pressure. She was originally a singer, and she was considered a courtesan on her own acre of three-point land. But in line with the saying, "People can die, and goods can be thrown away." Compared with this vast ocean, she was no longer a world of martial arts, but at best it was a bathing pool.

Yang Hao had been in the Daming Palace for a few days and had seen many beautiful women. Therefore, although he was a little dizzy after entering the door, he had not lost his composure. Zhang Lang, who was following him, was completely stunned. One of them opened his mouth and the other bared their teeth, walked around lightly and deep, and hit Yang Hao several times.

At this time, Li Yan's extraordinaryness was seen. He held an ivory-drawn golden fan in his hand and took the heroic steps of the dragon and tiger, his posture was majestic and nimble. With his handsome figure, handsome face and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, he fascinated thousands of girls along the way.

Everyone asked for a luxurious private room with a half-moon-shaped seat. Li Yan sat upright in the middle, and the rest sat in a random manner without any orders. Li Yan didn't care at all.

The shopkeeper of Yijiang Tower came to greet him in person, just like the singer and dancer behind him, like the flashing Yuner. In fact, the boss behind Yijiang Tower is a 8th-rank halberd from the Baoli Society of the Tsingmaying. He is neither a descendant of the official and ministers of the Tsingma Ma Academy or the Imperial College. His halberd was exchanged for the offering of 100,000 taels of silver every year. With this relationship, no matter whether the officialdom in Yangzhou is stormy, his halberd can stand proudly like a rock.

The shopkeeper arranged a few very distinctive songs and dances, which received applause. Taking advantage of the excitement, Wang Fuer pulled Xiaoyu to dance to everyone. Wang Fuer's graceful dance style won praise from the singers, and even the singers came up from downstairs to watch. However, Yang Hao always felt that the praise of these singers was a bit hypocritical, and the tone was like the tone of an academic music professor when he was evaluating an amateur singer. The full voice of praise could not conceal the contempt and arrogance in his bones. However, Wang Fuer was satisfied. Her dance was actually just for one person to watch. As long as that person was satisfied, he would be satisfied.

Li Yan kept staring at her with endless tenderness in his eyes.
