Drunk Yangzhou

"Could it be that Qishao is blaming Xiao for not going out of the city to welcome him?" Xiao Ge's complexion and voice were very soft, "So, how about Xiao to make amends with wine tonight?"

"Brother Huaijie has another crime." Ever since seeing Xiao Ge, Fu Yiting couldn't help talking nonsense.

"Is it the crime of Chunri leaving without saying goodbye at Mount Li?" Xiao Ge asked with a smile.

"Exactly." Fu Yiting suppressed the embarrassment in his heart just now, and his expression became more comfortable, his words were filled with reproach, as if he was not the one who sent troops to chase and kill Xiao Ge at all, "Hui Jie's departure left a good place for Qin Bei. Big mess."

"Fortunately, Qishao's young hero turned hostility into friendship in just a few months." Xiao Ge swept away the raindrops on his body, "At that time, he was in a hurry, and it would be considered a crime if he didn't tell Qishao in time in the future. In this way, you in Yangzhou Days, Xiao will definitely do his best to entertain."

Fu Yiting nodded, "Success, since you're here in Guangling, I'll take care of you."

The two turned their horses back and headed towards the city of Yangzhou. Xiao Ge ordered his bodyguards to meet Lin Yizhi, and then turned to Fu Yiting and said, "Qi Shao mentioned the Yangzhou painting boat... I purposely found the most famous boat in the city. Lian Mengzhou, the girls inside are all very beautiful..."

He really regarded me as a pervert.Fu Yiting was unhappy, if he was on a normal day, he would go there with pleasure, but at this time he has no interest, "I'm not interested now, I just want to find a quiet place to rest."

Xiao Ge thought for a while, and said to Bai Songan who was waiting beside him: "Change the banquet to Changchun Ridge, you can arrange it first, and I will take Prince Qin to row a boat from Xinhe."

Bai Song'an whispered in his ear, "My lord, inside the pavilion along the coast..."

"Understood." Xiao Ge smiled slightly, signaling him to rest assured, then turned around and led Fu Yiting to the riverside.

The Xiao family spent [-] percent of their time managing Yangzhou City, sparing no expense in manpower and financial resources to renovate and repair river channels, and plan and layout urban construction.It was Xiao Wenzhou's idea to excavate this new river with lotus stems. Even though he was far away in Yundian at that time, there were still reports sent every five days, reporting to him the construction of the facilities in Yangzhou City, the market conditions, Large and small cases occurred in the middle of the river... After the completion of the new river channel, the excess sediment was piled up in the Slender West Lake. Xiao Wenzhou ordered man-made gardens on it, forming a unique and charming landscape.

There are still merchant ships coming and going in the main river channel, Xiao Ge detoured to the side channel, pulled up a small black-covered boat, and signaled Fu Yiting to go up.

"Brother Huai Jie is pampered and pampered, and he still does this." Fu Yiting was not polite, stepped on the board of the boat happily, took off his canary whip and put it in the cabin, standing on the bow of the boat and looking at the distant view.

"Even if he was born in the palace, he is a child who grew up by the water, so how can he not know how to go boating." Xiao Ge skillfully steered the oar, and the boat squeezed through the rippling water waves and moved slowly.

"How long has it been raining?" Fu Yiting looked at the boat in the distance and asked casually.

"It started from the day I sent you the letter, about ten days ago." Xiao Ge said.

"Then you have to be careful of the autumn floods. I heard that the Yangtze River is flooded... It is also a man-eating beast... Yangzhou is so charming, it would be a pity if there is a flood." Fu Yiting said with a half-smile.

These words are actually not auspicious. As a guest, Fu Yiting said this is somewhat rude, but Xiao Ge didn't care about it. In fact, he was also busy reinforcing the embankment a few days ago, but Fu Yiting's words reminded him of other things. In the 28th year of Cheng'an, the Yellow River in Qindi broke its embankment at night and went straight to the Fu family's barracks. Fu Yiting's elder brother and second brother were killed in the Tianshan battle of the Uighurs. There was also a third brother who also suffered an unfortunate encounter when he was stationed in the camp. After the flood, he hugged the tree trunk and survived, but after Fu Yiting seized power, there was no news... Xiao Ge thought about it further. When Chun Ri went to Lishan, he didn't see any traces of his brothers and sisters. A chill.

"Qishao is really far-reaching, after all, lessons learned from past mistakes can guide future events." Xiao Ge actually wanted to ask, but felt that there was no need to have a heart-to-heart relationship with that person, so he suppressed his emotions and only said something like a compliment .

Fu Yiting caught the hidden thorn in Xiao Ge's words and knew what he was implying. For a moment, he wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, why should he care what he thinks of him?So he shut his mouth tightly in anger.

The boat turned into a water fork, the water bank in front of it gradually narrowed, and no trace of the big boat could be seen, Xiao Ge forced himself to no longer think about the past of the Fu family, and only focused on rowing, but suddenly there was a fish slamming into it He touched the plank under his feet, and he took half a step back in shock.

Fu Yiting was standing behind him, and subconsciously stretched out his arms to hug him. Xiao Ge's body was soaked cold by the rain. At this moment, he could clearly feel that the man's arms were very firm and warm, giving him a sense of security and stability. Illusion, tempting people not to leave.

Thinking about what that person did again, it was really an illusion.Xiao Ge pushed away from his embrace without a trace, thanked him lightly, and returned to the bow.

There was not the slightest wave on Fu Yiting's face, but only he knew that with just such a slight touch, a certain part of his body was already looking up. Fortunately, the person in his arms left early, otherwise it would have been impossible to end.

There was a subtle change in the atmosphere, the two of them stopped talking, but the scenery beyond the narrow waterway was eye-catching, fields of lotus leaves appeared on both sides of the river, and the small boat escaped into the curtain of smoke in the clear sky.The light rain brushed past the ears, and fell lightly under the feet. The sky, the earth, and the universe were shrouded in extreme silence, so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing... The ancient and modern worlds seemed to have vanished into nothingness. People forget their own thoughts...

Autumn has come, and the lotus root is still fresh and plump, but because no one picks it, it is lonely and obliquely inserted in the water.Xiao Ge loved these elegant things the most, and couldn't bear to see them in the rotten mud, so he simply threw the oars, let the boat ride with the waves, sat on the sideboard, picked the lotus pods, dug out a few lotus seeds and threw them to Fu Yiting, " Fresh lotus seeds are rare in Qin Bei, I wonder if you can get used to them."

Fu Yiting stretched out his hand to catch it, and those tender lotuses were held in his palm, feeling moist and comfortable.He also sat cross-legged, with a playful smile on his face, "Brother Huai Jie, is this 'throwing lotus seeds across water for no reason'?"

Throwing lotus seeds across the water for no reason is known to be ashamed for half a day.The word lotus implies love and affection. Huangfu Song's poem describes the young and beautiful love between men and women. Xiao Ge was born in Suzhou, so how could he not know the meaning of lotus seeds? , Thinking of the embarrassing dream a few days ago, her cheeks blushed uncontrollably.

Seeing his embarrassment, Fu Yiting couldn't help being in a good mood. He leaned over and leaned on his lap coquettishly, "I was just joking... I've never eaten fresh lotus seeds, Brother Huaijie, peel me a few."

Xiao Ge was disturbed by his sudden closeness, he slandered this person in his heart for being frivolous, but in his hands, he used his nails to cut open the tender green skin, took out the tender white lotus seeds, and carefully squeezed the lotus seeds. The core was gone, and then it was handed to his mouth.

Fu Yiting put the lotus seeds into his mouth with the opponent's hand, and bit it open gently, his teeth were fragrant.

From this angle, he could clearly observe Xiao Ge's long eyelashes drooping under his willow eyebrows, covering his soul-stirring eyes, and a few strands of long hair were stuck to his slender and fair neck by the rain, extending into the lapel... The man only patiently peeled off the lotus pod in his hand, turning a blind eye to his wanton gaze.

The sky was still groggy, Fu Yiting only felt that he was gradually sinking into this lotus pond, he slowly closed his eyes, and let the delicate rain wet his face... Maybe he was a little tired after traveling thousands of miles, but he just fell asleep like this .

He really trusts me...

Hearing the deep and even breathing of the person on his lap, Xiao Ge chuckled helplessly, but the tenderness in his eyes gradually receded. He looked into the cabin, and Fu Yiting had already taken off the cane whip and put it on the small table.

Killing him is easy now...but...

Xiao Ge felt uneasy about the battle in his heart. Before leaving, Wen Zheng specially instructed that the sooner you start the better, the later will change. Xiao Ge originally made arrangements on the painting boat, but now Bai Song'an has moved the dinner to Changchun Ridge...

Xiao Ge looked down at Fu Yiting's face carefully, his brows stretched out, his thin lips were lightly pursed, the rainwater slowly flowed from the tip of his tall nose to the corner of his eyes, like a teardrop that went in the wrong direction.In such a tranquil atmosphere of boating and listening to the rain, all the sternness and gloom in Fu Yiting's body faded away, leaving only a youthful spirit and a trace of mystery that people cannot fathom or pry.

Xiao Ge suddenly found himself enjoying this moment, even though this moment was too good to be true, he even subconsciously recalled the feeling of Fu Yiting's arms embracing him just now... When he realized that he couldn't bear to take the next step, Confusion, joy, helplessness, vigilance, expectation... Endless mixed emotions swept over and pulled him back to reality.

Xiao Ge's knees started to go numb, but he still didn't wake up the man, he just sat and stood on the boat for a long time, until he heard the soft singing of gulls and herons, he raised his eyes to look at the winding corridors and pavilions outside the lotus leaves , gently shook his head at Wu Jun who was hiding there.
