Chapter Ninety-Three: The Two Sides of the Strait


The Yangtze River is the boundary between Dakang and Han.

You can reach the border of Han by crossing the Yangtze River.

We arrived at Bolang Bay at noon, which is the key defense point of Dakang Navy in the style of Bolang Bay.

The river surface is wide and the water of the Yangtze River is The division's headquarters is located here.

Han Rucheng, the local naval commander, personally led 200 of his men to welcome them ten miles away.

The reason why Han Rucheng was so courteous to me was not only because of my status as the prince, but also because he was also a general promoted by King Yi, so he was naturally extremely humble to me, the beloved son-in-law of King Yi.

Bolang Bay had already prepared two large boats for us to cross the river.

Taking advantage of the time when the samurai were loading the gifts onto the boats, Han Rucheng and I boarded the watchtower in the water village.

Standing on a high-rise building, looking down at the harbor, I saw more than a hundred warships of Dakang connected by iron cables, lined up on the river.

There was no naval drill on the warships.

Many of the warships had broken masts and the paint color of the hulls was also damaged.

It has long since peeled off, and it can be seen that these warships have not been repaired for a long time.

I took out my telescope and looked towards the other side of the Yangtze River.

I saw that the Han Water Village had a myriad of scenes, with buildings, boats and boats gliding across the river.

There was movement and stillness, a huge contrast.

I couldn't help but sigh: "General Han, don't your naval forces ever practice training?"

Han Rucheng said sadly: "His Royal Highness Prince Ping doesn't know.

Our navy has not been paid for eight months.

We must have financial support for water drills.

Under this situation, how can I get so much money?"

He Pointing to the rows of warships, he said: "The warships have not been maintained for a long time.

All I can do now is to reduce the navy's expenses as much as possible."

"Are we just going to let the Dakang navy decline like this?"

I couldn't help but feel a little angry in my voice.

Han Rucheng motioned me to look due west, but I saw thousands of naval officers training on the river beach in the distance.

Han Rucheng said loudly: "Our soldiers still insist on training on land and have not forgotten their duty to defend the territory of Dakang."

He said in a low voice: "But we can't even guarantee three meals."

A trace of guilt emerged in my heart.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to believe that Dakang's naval forces were training in such harsh conditions.

Han Rucheng said: "Courage and confidence can never replace your strength.

Once the war breaks out, what can we do to compete with the opponent?

These more than a hundred warships, most of which have been damaged, don't wait for the opponent to attack.

I'm afraid they will be destroyed if they sail to the center of the river.

We were knocked over by huge waves.

Our weapons and equipment have not been replaced for six years."

He picked up the quiver from the soldier behind him and handed it to me.

There were only five feather arrows in the quiver.

Han Rucheng said excitedly: "Of the more than 20,000 naval soldiers, only 5,000 were equipped with bows and arrows, and each person was only given a pitiful five."

He pulled out a feather arrow and put the tip of the arrowhead in front of my eyes.

There are traces of polishing," The tip of this arrowhead was stained with rust when it came off.

Our soldiers polished it with pebbles from the riverside."

He pointed to the river beach at his feet: "Your Highness, you can pick up a pebble at random, and you will definitely find our arrow sharpener on it. trace."

I pursed my lips, and an inexplicable sadness emerged in my heart.

Han Rucheng said to the two guards beside him: "Stretch out your hands."

The two soldiers hesitated and stretched out their hands.

What kind of hands were they?

The bones were thick, the skin was cracked, and the palms were covered with calluses.

Their fingers could not be straightened no matter how hard they tried.

Han Rucheng said: "Your Highness, the humidity along the riverside is very heavy.

Our cotton clothes and bedding have not been replaced for many years.

Our soldiers live in this harsh environment, and ten out of ten will be infected with rheumatism.

Most of them He could not straighten his fingers.

In the past year, as many as 65 soldiers died of illness due to lack of medicine. " Han Rucheng choked up and said: "Your Highness, they did not die on the battlefield.

If they could have received timely treatment, they would not have died."

My eyes are moist.

Han Rucheng said: "Your Highness, we have never forgotten our responsibilities.

The fortifications on the riverside were all built by our soldiers with their hands."

I nodded heavily and looked up at the scorching sun in the sky.

The sun burned my eyes, but it couldn't compare with the pain in my heart.

The big ship carried us slowly towards the other shore.

I stood alone on the bow.

Han Rucheng's words still make me feel breathless.

Dakang can no longer bear the weight of the war.

I must do my best to resolve this crisis.

This heavy courage falls on my shoulders.

I must not only bring health and happiness to all people, but also rekindle their fighting spirit and courage.

Jiao Xin stood beside me, observing the Han Dynasty's water stronghold with a telescope.

After a long time, he put away the telescope and sighed: "The equipment of the Han navy is far superior to that of Dakang.

If there is a war, Dakang will be destroyed."

I’m afraid one side has no power to fight back.”

I patted his shoulder: "If you were to lead the Kang army, how certain would you be of defeating the Han army?"

Jiao Xin smiled and said: "Since the navy is not their opponent, I will never fight with them head-on on the water.

Youdao will let the three-pointer be calm and the sea will be brighter.

I will withdraw the defense line to the plain and concentrate on it."

All the troops fought against the Han army on the plain."

I burst out laughing and asked: "If we abandon the Yangtze River, wouldn't the Han army have to march straight into it?"

Jiao Xin said confidently: "As far as I know, the total strength of the Han army is about 500,000.

If a war is launched, he will dispatch at most 300,000 troops.

I only need 50,000 elite troops to defeat the Han army."

I said with great interest: "Tell me and listen."

Jiao Xin said: "Abandoning the Yangtze River is the first step.

My retreat distance will be quite large.

Except for key towns, there will be no defense.

The Han army has two options.

First, gather its forces and advance towards Kangdu; second, , and control the towns and fortresses near the Yangtze River first and slowly.

If they choose the former, the first thing they will face is the 300,000-strong army that goes deep into the hinterland.

For the supply problem, I use strong walls to clear the country, so that they cannot get a grain of food from Dakang.

They can only rely on their own country to transport food, and use my elite troops to raid their supply troops and destroy their logistics routes.

If the Han Dynasty uses the second method, it will collapse.

The second method is that the twelve important towns along the Yangtze River will disperse the strength of the Han army, and I will use the method of defeating them one by one. " I smiled and said: "Although the method is good, it cannot be implemented.

Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty should have thought of the countermeasures you mentioned a long time ago, so he wanted to unite the four countries to send troops to us.

The total strength of the four countries under the alliance is very likely to exceed one million.

In this case, your strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field will not have any effect."

Jiao Xin said: "Your Highness is absolutely right, so we must never allow the five countries to form a true alliance."

I nodded and said: "I have considered this matter repeatedly.

The Han Kingdom has not yet swallowed up Dakang's strength alone, otherwise Xiang Botao would not have taken the initiative to seek an alliance."

The big ship sailed to the center of the river, and four warships from the other side had already greeted it.

After we expressed our intention to the other party, the other party escorted us on both sides of our warship.

Although they share the same river, the names of the two sides are different.

Dahan and Bolang Bay are called Jiuxue Bay.

From the names, we can see that the cultures between Kang and Han are very different.

Dahan is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery.

It has been a place of literary talent since ancient times.

In addition, it is far away from the barbaric areas and is rarely affected by wars.

The folk customs here advocate comfort and do not like fighting, which is completely different from the northern countries.

The warship sailed into the snow-covered beach, and Jiao Xin was amazed by the scene in the water village.

This large Han water village was built on the mountain.

The entire port is surrounded by rolling cliffs.

From bottom to top, three different layers of defenses are carved out of the entire cliff.

The bottom layer can hide infantry, the middle layer can deploy engineers, and the upper layer has wide mountain roads.

Several catapults and giant crossbows were deployed.

At such a height, one can imagine the long range.

If Dakang wanted to attack Dahan from the other side, the warship would enter the opponent's range when it sailed into the center of the river.

Jiao Xin whispered to me: "This water stronghold can be said to be blocked by one man and blocked by ten thousand people.

On the other hand, the fortifications in Dakang are completely useless."

I smiled calmly and looked at the large ships of the Han Dynasty aside.

I saw the Han army's bright armor and fluttering flags.

The hull was five stories high and the length and width were much larger than our warships.

I felt even more shabby in comparison.

I sighed in my heart: "In recent years, there have been constant wars in Dakang, but under the leadership of Xiang Botao, the Han Dynasty has become rich and powerful. change."

When the warship entered the port, I walked down the gangway first.

The local navy guard Peng Tongxin was already waiting in front of the port.

He strode towards me, bowed deeply and said: "Peng Tongxin, the garrison of Jiuxue Bay of Han Kingdom, is here to see King Ping Qiansui of Dakang."

I smiled and said, "I came here uninvited.

Is General Peng a little unprepared?"

Peng Tongxin said with a smile: "King Ping is joking.

Your Majesty has already ordered that the generals should wait here for King Ping's grand arrival.

Your Majesty said that among the eight countries, Dakang and Han are the closest.

It seems that your Majesty has won the bet."

I was a little surprised and said: "What bet?"

Peng Tongxin said with a smile: "King Ping didn't know.

Before His Majesty distributed the invitations, he made a bet with the Queen.

The relationship between the Han Dynasty and Dakang was so close that Dakang would come to congratulate him even if he didn't send the invitation.

The Queen didn't believe it, so the two made a bet.

Come on, as expected, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was reported that Dakang was going to send Prince Ping to Han to celebrate his birthday.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Doesn’t it mean that His Majesty won the bet?"

I burst out laughing, but secretly cursed in my heart, Xiang Botao, Xiang Botao, you are not only despicable but also extremely cunning.

You can think of such clumsy reasons.

Do you think I, Yingkong, am a three-year-old child?

Peng Tongxin said: "Since hearing the news that King Ping is coming to Dahan, your Majesty has ordered the general to stay here day and night.

Your Majesty said that although the bet with the queen is a good deal, after all, he did not send an envoy to Dakang to inform him in advance. , there are many inaccuracies in etiquette, I hope your highness will forgive me."

I secretly praised in my heart that this Peng Tongxin is not a simple person.

As soon as he said these words, I couldn't say it even if I wanted to blame him.

I smiled and said: "My aunt and uncle naturally treat us as their own people.

These There is no need for false etiquette."

Peng Tongxin said respectfully: "The carriages and horses have been prepared, and His Royal Highness Prince Ping can go to Handu at any time."

I nodded, turned to Jiao Xin and said, "Bring the birthday gifts down immediately.

We will set off for Handu in an hour."

It takes about two days to travel from Jiuxue Bay to Handu.

Jiangnan has been a prosperous and prosperous place since ancient times.

The prosperous scene on the way made us sigh.

Today's Han Dynasty is much richer than we imagined.

No wonder Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty would arouse the desire for hegemony.

We arrived in Handu two days later.

Since there were no delays along the way, we arrived here a few days early.

Tuoba Luzhu put down the car curtain and said: "Your Highness, today is the second day of September, and there are still seven days until his birthday.

What should we do during this time?"

I chuckled and said, "I have long heard that Handu is extremely beautiful and rich in treasures.

I have never been here before.

We will take this opportunity to visit this place."

Tuoba Luzhu's beautiful eyes lit up and she said happily: "Okay, I've had this plan for a long time."

While he was talking, the carriages and horses had already arrived in front of the east gate of the capital of Han Dynasty.

In front of the gate, the officers and soldiers were meticulously checking the people passing by.

The queue was very long.

I frowned and said to the accompanying Han general: "Why are the Han people so strict in interrogation?"

The Han general said: "Your Majesty's birthday is approaching, and the capital of Han is about to celebrate.

The management of merchants coming and going will be stricter than in the past.

Prince Ping can rest assured that it will be our turn to enter the city soon."

I smiled and said, "Don't we have privileges too?"

The Han general said again: "Everyone is equal under your Majesty's rule.

Even if the Prime Minister passes through this place, he must pass the inspection of the gatekeepers as usual."

At this moment, another pair of warriors passed by us.

The people in line hurriedly dispersed to one side.

Even the soldiers responsible for interrogation stopped and respectfully stepped aside.

I laughed secretly in my heart.

Why are everyone equal? ​​

This team of people Why do I have the privilege?

I looked out curiously.

Only then did I realize that the group of samurai were all young girls, all wearing red samurai uniforms, looking graceful and charming, with a unique alluring charm.

The leading girl pointed at our team with a whip and said: "Whose team is it?

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Since you know that the national army is passing by, why don't you give way?"

The accompanying Han generals also looked extremely respectful and whispered: "The person riding in the car is King Ping of Dakang."

The girl was so arrogant that she scolded in a sweet voice: "I don't care who he is, please move your carriages and horses aside.

If he delays the important matters of the Imperial Master, be careful to punish you."

The man looked at me with some embarrassment.

I couldn't hold it back anymore after hearing this, and sarcastically said: "Is this the way Dakang treats guests?"

I opened the car door and walked out, only to see a group of girls guarding a gorgeous carriage parked at the intersection.

The place where our motorcade stopped just blocked their way.

The girl stared at me with her eyebrows raised, "If you don't get out of the way, I will capture you all."

Tang Mei and Jiao Xin shouted angrily at the same time: "Bold witch, you dare to be disrespectful to my master!"

The girl raised a green jade sign and said: "Still don't get out of the way."

This is probably some kind of token given to them by Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately it has no effect on us Kang people.

Following the gesture made by the girl, the girls behind them drew their swords one by one.

I sighed secretly in my heart.

People say that Jiangnan women are gentle, but I didn't expect that they are as fierce as female leopards.

A crystal delicate hand gently opened the car curtain and said softly: "Mo Yun, you have argued with someone again.

The dragon tablet His Majesty gave you was not just for you to show off around."

The woman named Mo Yun then put her sword back and said respectfully: "Miss, these people are disrespectful to you."

The gentle voice said again: "You are in a hurry.

How do you know that others are not in a hurry?

You should follow the rules of the city gate and wait for a while."

"But" It seems that this Imperial Master is much more sensible than these maids.

I smiled and said, "Since this young lady has something urgent to do, it doesn't matter if we let you go first."

I waved my hand to signal Tang Mei and others to move the carriages and horses back.

Mo Yun still glared at me fiercely, and then he and his team ran towards the city gate.

The carriage passed by me, and the breeze blew.

I looked in through the blown curtains and saw only the carriage.

Looking at the lower half of the girl's pretty face, I feel that the curve of her jaw is extremely soft, her seductive lips are slightly tilted to both sides, and there are two shallow pear pits on the sides of her cheeks.

Her alluring grace can't help but take my breath away.

A suffocation.

Cars and horses pass by, and the fragrance hits you.

The Hanjiang came to my side and said apologetically: "Your Highness Prince Ping, please don't be offended.

The imperial master must have gone to the palace to treat the queen, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious."

I couldn't help but be startled.

My aunt is sick.

How come I have never heard someone say loudly: "What kind of disease does my aunt have?"

The man hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said, "I heard he was possessed by evil spirits."

I sneered and said to myself: "I will definitely not be able to find out the truth from these people.

I'll tell you everything after I see my aunt."

Although it is already the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather in Handu is still as warm as spring.

There is no chill in the autumn wind, just like a pair of girl's catkins gently caressing my face.

Although the streets are far less wide and straight than those in Kangdu, there are various trees and flowers planted on both sides of the road, and the whole city is like a big garden.

The Chunshui River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, flows quietly through Handu, dividing Handu into east and west halves.

The palace of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty is located to the east of Handu.

There are many rivers in Handu.

Every time you walk a certain distance, you will see a bridge.

The shapes of the bridges are also different.

Some are simple, some are exquisite, some are majestic, or some are ingenious.

The scenery before your eyes is endless.

Although I was used to seeing scenes, I couldn't help but marvel at the scene before me.

The post house is located on the bank of Chunshui River.

It is a garden in itself, with exquisite layout and pleasant scenery.

Xiang Dasheng, the third prince of the Han Dynasty, has been waiting outside the gate for a long time.

Seven years ago, he accompanied my aunt back to Dakang to visit relatives.

I spent a few days with him at that time, and I had some impression of him.

If Tuoba Chunzhao hadn't killed him midway , he was supposed to become a couple with Princess Anrong.

Speaking of which, this happened all because of me.

Xiang Dasheng is handsome and elegant in manner.

I have specifically investigated him and found that this person is somewhat like Yan Yuanzong back then.

He likes elegant things such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is not too interested in politics and power.

This kind of child is not uncommon in the emperor's family.

Xiang Dasheng walked over with a smile and said loudly from a distance: "This is cousin Yinkong."

I called out affectionately: "Cousin Dasheng" and strode forward to greet him, holding his hands tightly.

Xiang Dasheng looked me up and down before saying, "You have changed a lot.

I remember that when I went to Kangdu with my mother, you were still a skinny child."

I chuckled and said, "If I remember correctly, my cousin should be two years older than me, and he was still a little fat man back then."

We laughed at the same time, and the memories of our childhood suddenly brought us closer.

Xiang Dasheng personally led the way for me, and everything had been prepared for us in the post house.

It seemed that Xiang Botao treated my uninvited nephew quite politely.

Xiang Dasheng was very polite to me and asked me to take a shower and change clothes first, and he kept waiting for me in the living room.

I guessed that all this might be carefully arranged by Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty.

He should be able to guess the purpose of my trip, but he didn't know what method to use to deal with me.

After washing away all the travel dust and putting on clean new clothes, my whole body suddenly became much fresher.

Xiang Dasheng has already had someone prepare the finest Longjing tea for me and is waiting for me in the living room.

I said apologetically: "I'm really ashamed to keep my cousin waiting for so long."

Xiang Dasheng smiled and said: "Why should we be so polite between brothers?"

I tasted a sip of Longjing, and I felt the fragrance lingering on my lips and teeth.

I couldn't help but praise: "Good tea."

Xiang Dasheng said: "Authentic Longjing can only be tasted in the Han Dynasty."

I laughed and said, "The most famous thing about Han is not just Longjing.

I heard that there are so many beautiful women in Han Dynasty.

I don't know if it's true or not."

Xiang Dasheng laughed.

He pointed at the direction of the backyard and said: "Yinkong, Yinkong, you have been thinking about this since you first arrived in Han Dynasty.

Aren't you afraid of a fire in the backyard?"

I smiled and put down the teacup and said, "Every woman around me is obedient to me and very docile."

Xiang Dasheng gave me a thumbs up.

I knew that he always wanted to be romantic and deliberately talked about romantic affairs.

Xiang Dasheng really felt that he was late to meet me, and said in a low voice: "There is nothing much to do in these two days anyway.

I will take you around and let you experience the wonderful scenery of the Chunshui River."

I chatted with him for a few more words, and then turned the topic to my aunt Chang Shi's condition.

Xiang Dasheng smiled and said: "Don't listen to those people's nonsense.

The queen mother has no illness, but she has been suffering from some headaches recently.

At this time, she will summon the imperial master into the palace to chat for a few words.

That’s it.”

I smiled and said, "That's great."

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiang Dasheng stood up and said goodbye: "Yinkong, you have just arrived in Handu today, so you should get some rest.

I will take you into the palace to meet your father and queen early tomorrow morning."

I asked him to wait and let Tang Mei get the gift I had prepared for him.

For such a pretentious and elegant prince, the best gift is to give him what he likes.

What I gave him was a piece of Zhang Xu's wild grass and a pair of Go chess pieces carefully polished with black and white agate.

When Xiang Dasheng saw the gift I gave him, he was overjoyed and thanked me repeatedly before leaving the post house.

After dinner, I originally wanted to take Luzhu for a walk on the street, but she was tired from the journey and had already gone back to her room to sleep, so I had no choice but to ask Tang Mo and Jiaoxin to walk outside the inn together.

The most lively place in the Han capital is the Chunshui River.

Both sides of the river are brightly lit.

There are many painted boats wandering on the river.

It is a place where women with fireworks gather.

Every night, the dignitaries of the entire Han capital come here.

Come for fun.

I was so excited that I rented a canoe by the river and took a swim in the Chunshui River at night with Tang Mo Jiaoxin.

As night fell, we sat on a small boat.

The surface of the Chunshui River was already filled with countless lotus lanterns, decorating the entire river like a fairyland.

On both sides of the Chunshui River, there are music and singing everywhere, palace lanterns are lit, and there are countless prosperous scenes and gorgeous scenery.

There are more than a hundred painted boats on the water slowly coming and going, and the boats are covered with gauze tents and silk lanterns.

I secretly admired in my heart that the romance in the south of the Yangtze River was indeed beyond the reach of the north.

Hundreds of cruise ships came and went like a shuttle, carrying wealthy people looking for beauty and good people.

Everyone pointed and commented on the exquisite decoration of each boat. inferior.

The old man who was sailing the boat for us laughed and said, "It sounds like the accents of some of the uncles are not locals."

I smiled and said, "The old man heard it right.

We are all from the north.

Can you tell me where the most beautiful view of Chunshui River is?"

The old man said: "The most beautiful and exquisite thing in Chunshui River is the lonely boat."

"Lonely Boat" I repeated with some confusion.

The old man nodded and said: "Every big man knows the name of Lonely Fang.

Qingyan, the number one prostitute in the world, is in it."

I smiled and said: "Is this Qingyan's name taken from the beauty of beauty?"

Tang Mei and Jiao Xin also laughed loudly.

Old Man Ao: "The reason why you can laugh is because you have never seen the beauty of Qingyan girl.

If you could see her, I'm afraid you would forget to laugh."

Jiao Xin sneered and said: "I have seen many beauties in the world, and the Qingyan you talk about is nothing more than that."

The old man laughed and said: "I don't need to praise Miss Qingyan's beauty.

Is there any dignitary in the Han Dynasty who would not be proud to board the lonely boat?

Even if he is rich, he may not be able to hear one of her songs."

Tang Mei said: "What is the price of this Qingyan girl?"

The old man smiled and said: "This Qingyan girl regards money as dirt.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Although she is a singing prostitute, she wants to keep herself clean and never sell herself.

That's why this painting boat is named Lonely Boat.

No one has been destined to become the Qingyan girl. guest."

I smiled secretly in my heart, regardless of how this woman looked, her ability to pretend to be innocent was really superb.

You must know that although a normal man likes to look for flowers and women, he also wants to find a pure and innocent girl in the streets and alleys.

The best thing is what he can't get.

The number one courtesan in the world has a very accurate grasp of the psychology of men.

I couldn't help but become interested in this Qingyan, and smiled and said: "Old man, just take us to that lonely boat.

I want to see if Qingyan is as beautiful as you said."

The old man smiled and said: "I saw that you liked the way of Fengyue from the moment you boarded the ship.

I was indeed right."

I coughed awkwardly, and the old man gently paddled the oars toward the lower reaches of the Chunshui River.

After walking about two miles, the river became much quieter.

Except for the occasional small boat, no other boats could be seen.

Ten feet in front of us, a medium-sized boat parked quietly in the middle of the river.

The old man said: "The painted boat in front is the world-famous Lonely Boat, and Miss Qingyan is in it."

I was about to speak when I saw a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old appeared on the bow of the boat.

Although the girl was underage, she had a superhuman grace in her movements.

The fact that a maid was even here showed the beauty of her master.

I said loudly: "I have been admiring Miss Qingyan for a long time in Xialongwu."

The girl covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Why do you guests all have the same tone?"

I smiled in my heart and said, "Maybe men all over the world have the same admiration for Qingyan girl."

The girl said: "How can you meet my young lady just when you say you want to?"

I smiled and said: "Then how can I meet your lady?"

The young girl said: "First of all, you have to pass my level.

You need to be pleasing to my eyes before you can pass."

I smiled and said, "Young lady, do you like me?"

The girl said, "You do look a bit masculine, but you are too dark.

You look like a man who wields swords and guns, and you probably don't know anything about elegance."

I smiled bitterly and said: "So I have no chance to meet Miss Qingyan."

The girl smiled and said: "My lady has asked a test question.

If you can answer it, I will let you get on the boat."

I said with great interest: "Please tell me" The girl said: "You have to listen carefully, my topic is a couplet, the first couplet is: first day of the month, middle day of the month, look at the sun on the new day."

I smiled lightly, and there was something mysterious about her first couplet.

The first ten days of each month were the first ten days of the month.

The first ten days of each month were the first ten days of the lunar month, which was the new day.

The ten days in the middle were the middle ten days, and the middle ten days were the fifteenth day, which was the day of hope. day.

The girl looked smug and said proudly: "I can't forgive you, so I'd better go back and have a rest early."

I laughed and said: "May 5th, September 9th, Dragon Boat Festival and Double Ninth Festival."

In my second couplet, the fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang; the ninth day of September is the Double Ninth Festival, also known as Double Ninth Festival.

The first two lines of the upper and lower couplets are Each sentence is a palindrome, and the last sentence is embedded with four names, "Xun" and "Sun", and "Moon" and "Yang" are tautology.

The contrast is neat and clever, and impeccable.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then a sweet smile appeared on her pretty face, and she said softly: "This Young Master Long can come up now."

Tang Mei and Jiao Xin also wanted to board the boat with me, but the girl scolded: "I only said that Mr.

Long can get on the boat, but I didn't let you two get on the boat."

I turned around and smiled at the two of them: "Just wait for me here.

I'll come as soon as I go."

The two of them warned me in unison: "Young Master, you must be careful."

The old man took the boat over and I climbed onto the boat from the rope ladder.

The girl was carrying a palace lantern to lead the way.

The colorful flowers decorated the boat in an extremely enchanting way, and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

The girl whispered in front of the bead curtain: "Miss, Mr.

Long has come to see you.

"Behind the Curtain There was a resentful sigh, and an extremely gentle voice said: "Let him in."

Just hearing her voice made my heart tremble.

Qingyan's voice was like a gentle feather teasing my heart.

It's really tempting
