Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun waited anxiously outside the palace, ready to escape at any time, but at dusk, he saw He Tianyang and Pingnu walking out of the palace, accompanied by Meng Shilang. Holding back his temper, he waited until the "Prince" got into the car, then got in and asked, "Tianyang, why did you come out so late?"

"Haha, my lord, this palace banquet is really rich, I don't think the emperor and those high officials eat much, I don't care about that..."

He Tianyang hiccupped, breathed out alcohol and said, "Why is it so late, please drink, Your Majesty."

He triumphantly recounted what happened in the palace today, and then he seemed to understand something suddenly. He blinked and his eyes suddenly became shrewd: "No, no! I see that the surnamed Dao When he was about to leave, his eyes were full of murderous intent, this old boy might not be bright enough, maybe he will come to hell, my lord, we have to be more careful tonight."

Xia Xun was taken aback, and asked, "You said they might attack at night?"

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible. People in this island country seem to be the most polite people in the world. A sudden outburst of beastliness.I vaguely remember that in history, there seemed to be two Japanese missions who came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute at the same time. In order to compete for the right to pay tribute, one fled and the other chased on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the whole world was turned upside down.

That is still the identity of the same country, now they have been humiliated by He Tianyang, a little prince who is extremely weak in their eyes, so it is strange that they don't want to get back their position.

He Tianyang thought for a while, then sneered: "My lord, let's arrange it carefully tonight. If they really want to get us, no matter how many people come, we will tell him not to come back!"

Pingnu is the princess of the island tribe, and what she admires most is this kind of powerful hero. When she heard him say that, her beautiful eyes glared with admiration.

"No! Absolutely not."

Xia Xun flatly vetoed it. Today's Ming Dynasty is not a weak country. It can only be done in a country that is much weaker than you and depends on you for a living.

Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "Don't forget our original purpose. What's the point of competing with a few Dongying scorpions? If you hurt them in the palace, the emperor and ministers will only take it as a joke, but if we are in the Daming post There were sword and gun fights in the hall, no matter who died or who was injured, they didn't take Da Ming seriously, what humiliated the face of the Ming Empire, the unreasonable party will of course be severely punished by the Emperor Ming, and the reasonable party will also be punished. deported."

He Tianye said: "Then what should we do? If they really rush over and do something..."

Xia Xun said: "After you go back, tell Honglu Temple that they are in charge of hospitality. Once a fight breaks out, they will be involved. They will definitely send more soldiers to control the situation."

He Tianyang was unwilling to reconcile, and said resentfully: "Okay, for our important affairs, I will pretend to be a grandson. Grandma, if they really dare to mess around, I will bear him now, and I will tell Shuangyu's brothers later, so that you can be a grandson." His grandson cannot return to Japan."

Xia Xun smiled and said: "Hehe, if you want to do something at sea, I don't mind how you teach him. It's not impossible to throw them into the sea to feed the bastards. But, here, they are guests, and we are also guests. These two guests can't bully Da Ming, the master."

He Tianyang hummed heavily.

Who wants to go back, before He Tianyang had time to inform the officials of Honglu Temple, a lot of soldiers suddenly increased in the post house. Be strict.

It turned out that Meng Shilang had already thought of the possibility of a conflict between the two sides on the way back. If the two sides really fought in the post house, or even were killed by the Japanese people, what would the Ming Dynasty face?With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to be the king of Shanshan under the sword of Banchao 36 warriors. At that time, the envoys of the two countries will be killed and shut down, and the rest will be kicked out. A good thing will end in dismal. If others are impeached, they have to pack their bags and go home.

So when Meng Fusheng came back to the post house, the first thing he did was to send more soldiers to completely separate the two sides and never give them a chance to meet.

In the evening, Zhang Xitong, the Spin Officer of Honglu Temple, was sitting in the main hall of the Yi Hotel holding a pot of tea, crossing his legs and humming a little tune, enjoying himself.

He deliberately moved to the middle of the residences of the missions of the two countries, just because he was afraid of any conflict between the two sides.Just as he was moaning, he suddenly saw a man in a Confucian robe and with a beard like ink coming out of the courtyard of the envoy of the Shanhou Kingdom. Zhang Xitong took a closer look and recognized Xun Xia, the envoy of Yiwei from the Shanhou Kingdom, and hurriedly Standing up, he smiled and said, "Messenger, where is this going?"

Xia Xun stopped, cupped his hands and smiled at him: "Oh, I have admired the prosperity of Daming for a long time, and the abundance of products. There is nothing to do at night, so go out for a walk."

"Ah, when your envoy comes to my middle land, there are two lives between man and earth, and the land of the capital, although nothing will happen, and you can speak Chinese, but it's better not to go too far."

Xia Xun said with a smile: "Save it, save it, I have Mr. Lao's instructions, I will not go anywhere else, just... just walk around."

Speaking of this, he took a few steps closer, and said with a guilty look, "Uh..., my lord, my lord, I want to ask you about the situation."

Zhang Xitong, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up again, twitching his mustache under his jaw and said with a smile: "Your envoy has something to say, please."

"This one……"

Xia Xun looked around, lowered his voice, and said hesitatingly: "My lord, how do I get to the Qinhuai River?"

"You... oh! oh..."

Zhang Xitong suddenly understood something, and a smile of "everyone is a man" appeared on his face: "Messenger, you go out this door, turn right, go straight ahead, there is a bridge, get off the bridge, you Go left..."

Zhang Xitong explained it to him with spit, thought about it, and said: "The Gongyuan is directly opposite, which is the place under Shuangjin, next to it on the left is Quanlefang, and further on, it is Yuelaiju. The business is booming, the price is fair, and the girls have nothing to say. Usually, there will be a few light boats parked under the weeping willows on the shore. The main purpose of going to the painting boat is to invite friends, drink and have fun, just looking for girls If you don’t, it’s not worthwhile to go there, but it’s also interesting to find a boat lady on the light ship.”

"Oh, no, no, thank you, my lord."

"Hey, come back, come back, I haven't finished talking yet, look at your anxious look, hehe!"

Zhang Xitong said happily: "Remember, don't say that you are a foreigner. Anyway, you speak Chinese very fluently. Otherwise, people may cheat you. Also, if the old bustard recommends a 13-year-old chick to you, don't ask for it." , In Fengyuechang, there is a saying called flower testing. Twelve or thirteen-year-old girls are still young, and they can’t enjoy themselves freely when they are in the clouds. Don’t waste the wronged money. At 14 years old, it is called flowering, and the daughter’s family has arrived. , men give to women, it’s time. At the age of 15, the girl’s family will know how to be interesting. Men love women and women love each other. It’s even cheaper than the younger ones.”

Xia Xun blushed and said, "Uh..., thank you, my lord, my lord is really...really knowledgeable."

Zhang Xitong waved his hand modestly and said: "Not to mention, not to mention, the old man just..., er... the imperial court does not allow officials to go whoring, I have never been there, this is all... I heard, I heard."

Xia Xun nodded quickly: "I'll save you, I won't talk nonsense. Then..., I'll take my leave."

Xia Xun didn't dare to listen to his show off any more, and left Honglu Temple as if fleeing, turned to the right, and walked away.

Of course he is familiar with the way of the capital, but now that he is pretending to be an envoy from a foreign country, he has to pretend.Xia Xun looked around all the way, stopped and walked, until he was sure that no one was following him, then he quickened his pace and disappeared into the night...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In golden autumn and October, the Qinhuai River is full of spring, and the most prosperous area is near the Gongyuan.Jiangnan Gongyuan starts from Yaojia Lane in the east, ends at Gongyuan West Street in the west, borders Qinhuai River in the south, and reaches Jiankang Road in the north. Among them, Mingyuan Building is surrounded by exam-taking rooms, with a total of more than 2 rooms, across the river from the Gongyuan. They are government-run and private brothels.

Every spring and autumn, tens of thousands of candidates gather in the capital, and once the exams are over, they come to visit one after another, and become the biggest patrons of this gold-selling cave.At this time, just after Qiu Wei released the rankings, countless candidates went to the Qinhuai River to have fun, and the crowd was like weaving, and it was very lively.On the river, the light boat was swimming, and from time to time, some students waved and shouted on the bank, and the boat docked. One night dew couple.

On both sides of the river, there are carved railings and painted sills, silk screens on the windows, and beaded curtains.These prostitutes belong to a higher level of existence. The houses are neat and tidy, the flowers and trees are sparse, the dogs bark at the door, and the parrots call for tea; To dazzle your eyes is to spend a lot of money.

In addition, there are many painted boats, which swim along the river, with lights and shadows, silk and bamboo music, and the windows on the boats are wide open. The son danced and danced endlessly, and the love was at its height, Fang picked the beauty he liked, and went to the private room to make love for him.

At this time, a painting boat was parked beside the bridge and beside the river.A few weeping willows by the river, swaying their light shadows and light in the water, the willow branches are like the jade arms and powder legs of a beautiful woman wrapped around a man, swaying freely, sometimes loosening and sometimes tightening, the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the painting boat came.This is a two-story painting boat, several steps are combined to form a long ladder, and it is built directly to the shore. There are faint chatter and laughter in the cabin, obviously guests have already arrived.

Xia Xun stood still under a tree far away, and glanced at the name "Yihongfang" on the string of red lights hanging on the painting boat, and it was here.He looked around vigilantly again, then walked towards the painting boat...! ~!
