The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 161 Is Not Like a Book Reader!

Xu Miao and Xiao Qinzhi talked about it, and they were also full of expectations that she would come out in the name of Chen Yun, but it was a fantasy after all.

It was late at night, and the banquet was over. Suddenly, I heard a melodious sound of a flute in Lintai Lake, and the soft voice was still whispering. A small boat slowly leaned against the lake, but no one could be seen when I heard the sound of the flute.

Xiao Qinzhi didn't leave until the music was over.

Xie Xuan looked at Xiao Qinzhi who was leaving, and then looked back at the boat on the lake, and finally could only shake his head!
In front of the gate of Xie Mansion, Xiao Qinzhi bid farewell to Zhang Xuanzhi and the other three, and walked west to the depths of Bird Clothes Lane, and east to Yudao.

The Bird Clothes Lane at night is very quiet and hard to find people. The three of them walked slowly along the south bank of the Qinhuai River. , the Qinhuai River ten miles to the east of Zhuque Bridge is even more lit up, and the red lights and feasts are green, and it seems to have become a city that never sleeps.

"Wu City" has been closed. Luckily, Zhao Yunfei still has a house in Jiankang, not far from here. Go south along Yudao and turn into Qingyu Lane.

The second one entered the small courtyard, and it was Zhao Dalai who opened the door. Xiao Qinzhi was quite surprised, but after thinking about it again, he suddenly understood.

Not only Zhao Da Zhao Er, but also several Xiao's trilogy, are also placed here.

A few days after the meeting in Jiuhuatai, Xiao Qinzhi became the most popular person in Jiankang. Countless invitations came one after another, but Xiao Qinzhi declined all of them. He took the official documents and prepared to return to Jinling. Just go to Xuzhou.

However, news suddenly came that Xun Xian, governor of Xuzhou, was in a hurry.

Another news came out that the imperial court planned to take over Xi Tan as the governor of Xuzhou.

Xi Tan, the current governor of Yangzhou, is famous for his good money, it doesn't matter, the key is that he is the younger brother of Xi Xuan, and Xiao Qinzhi's trip to Jiankang this time has offended Xi Xuan terribly.

"Brother Xianmin, we are going to Xuzhou immediately!" Xiao Qinzhi thought over and over again and made a decision.

"What's the use of going without the Xuzhou Inspector's Mansion's conquisition documents?" Xu Miao asked doubtfully.

"If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain. Xun Cishi is well-known and knowledgeable. How can there be any reason to reject the two gold pieces that we sent to the door?"

"Really?" Xu Miao asked suspiciously.

"Go! Pack up and go." Xiao Qinzhi stood up and looked at the north, firm and resolute.

At the end of June, Xiao Qinzhi and Xu Miao rented a slightly larger boat with only Qingxu and Zhao Er, and they set off from Jiankang to Xuzhou with only Qing Xu and Zhao Er. Step back to Wujin.

From Jiankang to Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou government, the waterway can reach directly, and go downstream to Guangling, enter Hangou from Guazhou Ferry to Huaiyin, enter Sishui, and pass Xiapi to Pengcheng. The trip takes six or seven days.

Xiao Qinzhi left in a hurry, leaving only a few letterheads, one is Xie Daoyun, the second is Diao Shangshu, explaining the reason for going to Xuzhou in a fine pen, and the third is the patriarch.

This was really beyond everyone's expectations. Despite the great future of Situ's Mansion, he went to Xuzhou, the place where four stops were made. It was the third day after the patriarch received the letter. , rushed to Xuzhou, and was bound to capture Xiao Qinzhi back.

Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March", while Xiao Qinzhi went down to Yangzhou in June. At this time, Yangzhou was Guangling City, opposite to Jiangnan where "the tide of the spring river is as green as blue". .

Xiao Qinzhi stood at Jingkou on the opposite side twice, looking at Jiangbei Guangling, but this time, after all, he stepped on the land of Jiangbei, and suddenly felt a strange feeling, like a destiny in the dark, this life is destined It landed in Jiangbei, and the gentle township in Jiangnan is just a transit station of fate.

However, the two young men who didn't understand anything encountered serious trouble when they first set foot in Guangling City, and were stopped by the customs officials.

When the ancients traveled far, there must be a guide, which would indicate information such as identity and place of origin for customs officials to check.

In Jiangzuo, with Xiao Qinzhi's and Xu Miao's attire, and speaking Wu dialect, one can tell that they are the children of the clan at a glance. In a heavy city, beware of fine-grained entry, the management is very strict.

But the dresses of Xiao Qinzhi and others are not like ordinary people. The brocade and white satin clothes passed on by Xiao Qinzhi alone are not something ordinary people can afford.

Therefore, at this time, the benefits of a great reputation are reflected. Guangling's geographical location is very prominent, and it is also a strategic place. Business travelers travel from all over the world. "Jiangzuo Xiao Silang" has long been spread.

However, this is not enough, after all, reputation can be replaced, let alone a big celebrity, do you think you are?

When Xiao Qin was suffering and had no thoughts, he met an acquaintance. To be precise, there was only one meeting, that was Huan Yi who gave the song at Fenglin Ferry in Wuxi last year.

Wearing a blue satin dress and a square scarf on his head, he was thin and handsome, followed by an old servant, Huan Yi thought he had misunderstood the person, but only after hearing Xiao Qinzhi's self-reported family name, did he confirm it, walked up and said: "It is indeed Xiao Shi Mr. Xiao Lang, I can testify."

Xiao Qinzhi searched for Huan Yi in his limited memory, and he knew it was the "Huanye King" who composed "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms". Xie Daoyun often played this piece, and Xiao Qinzhi was fascinated by it, so he naturally knew it.

In this way, Xiao Qinzhi followed Huan Yi into the city by mistake.

Basically, the understanding of Huan Yi by later generations is limited to that he is a master of temperament, who composed such handed down songs as "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms". As everyone knows, Huan Yi is not only an elegant scholar, but also a martial artist. A general who can make peace in the world is still Su Dongpo's idol.

In the Battle of Feishui, 500,000 Beifu soldiers defeated the [-] army of the former Qin Dynasty. Huan Yi led the army alone in this battle.

It's a pity that Xiao Qinzhi's history is not good, otherwise he should hug this fierce man's thigh.

However, Huan Yi was very curious about the young man Xiao Qin's coming to Jiangbei, so he led several people to his residence to talk about it.

Guangling City is high in the west and low in the east, and the rivers in the city are distributed in a fan shape. Huan Yi, the current governor of Yangzhou, joined the army. He did not live in the public office, but lived in a confluence of two rivers on the west side of the city. There is a row of bamboos and a few plum blossoms.

The river surface is full of light and water, the land and water are abundant, the birds are singing, the fish are looking for food, the breeze is cool, and it is quiet and comfortable. It is a good place to escape the heat in summer. Xiao Qinzhi didn't prepare any gifts, and there was tea on board. Give some away.

The old servant was quite worried when he saw that there was a famous guest, but the thatched cottage was shy and there was nothing to entertain.

Unexpectedly, Huan Yi smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao Xiaolang, who has lived on the left of the river for a long time, ordinary things are not surprising. Why don't you invite Mr. Xiao Xiaolang to taste something you have never tasted in your life to express your heart."

Both Xiao Qinzhi and Xu Miao were curious, what is this unprecedented thing in life?
I saw Huan Yi with loose hair, took off his outer robe, exposed his chest, held a sword, jumped into the river in front of the thatched cottage, held his breath and dived, and when he emerged from the river, there was already Picked a big fish.

Both Xiao Qinzhi and Xu Miao were dumbfounded.

Qing Xu covered her mouth and exclaimed, and asked Zhao Er how he did it. Zhao Er came from the Northwest, and at most he could swim, how could he know this!
"Is it okay to entertain with this thing from Jiangbei?" Huan Yi in the water asked with a smile.

Xiao Qinzhi came to Jiangbei for the first time, naturally he had never tasted anything from Jiangbei, and it was something he had never tasted in his life. Standing on the bank, he smiled and said, "It's a great honor!"

"Since that's the case, there are a lot of people today, let's catch another fish." Huan Yi threw the fish on the sword to the old servant, and plunged one end into the water again. big fish.

The old servant is old, Qing Xu and Zhao Er have nothing to do, so he helps to clean up the two fish.

In the evening, the birds were nesting, the setting sun was slanting, the water was shining, there was a small case in front of the thatched cottage, with a pot of tea, the three of them just chatted, and learned that Xiao Qinzhi and Xu Miao, two young men, were going to Xuzhou.

Huan Yi was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Are you aiming for northern Xinjiang?"

The matter has come to this point, Xiao Qinzhi didn't hide it anymore, looked at Xu Miao beside him, and said: "The immortals and I have already made up our minds to drive out the barbarians and restore China, so that we will not fall into the ambition of a man. "

Huan Yi thought for a long time, looked at the two young men sitting opposite the case, and sighed: "It's not like a scholar!"
