The pavilion on the banks of Xianghu Lake in Yuhang Prefecture, Jiangnan County. The late autumn Jiangnan seems so leisurely and elegant that many literati and poets take the opportunity to go out, which triggers many poems and leaves behind many popular poems.

The largest river in Yuhang Prefecture, Qiantang River, has a lake on both sides, and is famous. It is the most famous tourist destination in the south of the Yangtze River. The West Lake on the north bank is rich in makeup, like a rich girl from a rich boudoir; the Xiang Lake on the south bank is elegant and simple, like a small family in the countryside. But in comparison, West Lake is more famous, and visitors from other places are more attracted by the eternal masterpiece of the great poet of this dynasty. In terms of actual scenery, the Xiang Lake in the south of the Qiantang River is actually no less than the West Lake in the north of the Yangtze River.

The mountains are beautiful and sparse, the water is clear and deep. People in the city say that the land is as beautiful as Xiaoxiangran, so Xianghu is named after it. Xianghu Lake is shaped like a gourd, with a vast lake surface, an island in the lake, a mountain in the island, a spring in the mountains, and a pavilion by the spring. The scenery is elegant and beautiful. Climbing up to the Yiling Pavilion and looking at it, "There is a hidden family, and the monk Fan comes out of Xue Luo in a leisurely manner", which makes people feel that the sky is high and the clouds are light and the heart is relaxed.

Today, there were people in the Yilan Pavilion. A soldier patrolling the lake stopped the ship to the island in the middle of the lake. Although the literati and poets were full of complaints, they did not dare to fight openly. They had to swim around the lake in disappointment, and sighed at the mountains and rivers in the middle of the lake.

It was a bit difficult for him to climb the Yiling Pavilion, which was not too high, and he refused to take a sedan chair and climb the mountain. At this time, he realized that it was not easy for such people to go up the mountain. Finally, with the help of his servant, he climbed the Yiling Pavilion on the hillside, and was already panting and sweating.

When he waited for a long time and returned to normal to appreciate the scenery outside the pavilion, the guest of the Jiuhou arrived quietly. With a wave of his hand, the servants next to him left everyone, and the ingenious guards quickly opened within ten feet of the pavilion to prevent anyone from catching or not.

Zhan Yanyan signaled to come and take the seat, and the fat man turned around with a smile.

"Mr. Liao, why did you sigh?" The visitor raised his thick eyebrows and took his seat with a smile.

"I just feel it. I don't know how long can I enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery?" The fat man looked worried about the country and the people.

"Oh? Why did Mr. Liao say this?" The visitor was surprised and even put down the teacup he had just picked up again.

"Come on, come on, taste this Yuhang tribute - purple bamboo shoots. This is made of brewed with golden sand springs. Even His Majesty the Emperor can taste it." The fat man did not answer, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, the visitor stopped asking. He picked up the teacup and lifted the cover. The white air rose slowly. He slowly approached his nose. He sniffed it first, revealing an intoxicating look. Then he took a sip and felt it carefully, "The Tea Classic says: 'Yang Cliff Yin Forest, purple is on the top, green is on the top; bamboo shoots are on the top, buds are on the top.' It is true that it is not a fool."

With a faint smile, the fat man put down the teacup and said, "Is Your Highness good?"

"Public Mr. Xie Liao is concerned that everything is fine for you. However, the domestic situation has been unstable recently. Your Highness is worried about national affairs, and he doesn't want to eat day and night." After saying this, the visitor glanced at the other party quietly, but seeing that the other party seemed to have no other expressions, he felt a little disappointed and relaxed.

"Oh? The soldiers come to block the enemy, the water comes to cover the earth, and the disease of tinea scabies is insignificant. Your Majesty is wise and wise, and has the talent of heaven and earth. Many important officials in the court follow the horse's tail and will definitely be able to determine the world." The fat man showed a smile on his face, and he raised his jaw slightly and said.

The visitor was a little confused. What exactly did the other party’s implication mean? Why was it a bit difficult to figure out?

Although the guest looked normal, there were doubts in his eyes. The fat old man did not explain much, so he served the tea and savored it slowly.

"Are Mr. Liao too optimistic? If the Taiping Sect can only be called the disease of tinea scabies, then I'm afraid the empire will not be like this now." The guest spoke very cautiously, while paying attention to the change in the expression of the fat man.

"Hehe, although the situation is not good at the moment, it will not hurt the empire. As long as the Jiangnan, Wuhu and East China Sea are not in chaos, the empire will be able to reverse the situation. Besides, there is a threat from the northwest behind the Taiping Cult. It is probably not easy to survive easily." The fat man replied lightly. Indeed, the fiscal, tax and material production of the three counties in Jiangnan, Wuhu and Jinling can almost account for 80% of the empire's total income. As long as these three counties are backed, they are not afraid.

The visitor's eyes suddenly shrank, and his face became solemn, "According to Mr. Liao's opinion, will Li Wufeng send troops to Guanxi?" Based on information, he learned that Li Wufeng was very close to the fat man in front of him when he was in the imperial capital. Could it be that this guy also had a relationship with Li Wufeng?

"What do you think?" the fat man asked with a smile.

The visitor nodded silently, with a deep thought on his face and no longer spoke.

"With Mr. Liao's wisdom, where will the future situation of the empire go? Your Highness is very worried about the situation in front of you. I came to Jiangnan and wanted to hear Mr. Liao's opinion." The visitor stopped entangling in the previous questions and asked directly.

The fat man said in his heart that he was "coming" but he did not show any expression on his face. He smiled and said, "I'm too arrogant. I can talk about the best. But after this chaos, it's rare to be at peace in the north."

He cursed the old fox in his heart, but the visitor had to act like he was taught and nodded happily in agreement.

He didn't want to go around too many times, but the fat man in front of him was too slippery. Every time he talked about the key points, he could not get an accurate answer from him. However, the political circle of Jiangnan County was managed by this person as an iron barrel. Even the senior generals of the garrison had many close ties with him. The high-level relationship of another important force, the Imperial Navy, was even more extraordinary.

My master has always wanted to get the support of the other party, but no matter how one party shows goodwill, this guy always has a warm attitude. On the surface, he firmly supports him and can't see anything unusual, but it's hard to have an absolute certainty in his heart.

The empire is now in turmoil, and his master wants to come to Jiangnan by himself. In addition to strengthening control of his original forces, another major purpose is to explore the bottom of this guy. If he does not get a clear answer, he may have to make other arrangements.

But looking at the current appearance, this guy is probably going to be ambiguous, and his master's idea is probably going to fail again. Thinking of this, the visitor stood up and walked to the window, holding the pavilion pillar, looking at the vast lake water, the water was rippling and the mountains were empty. At this time, the drizzle quietly fell, adding to the hazy atmosphere of misty rain outside the window.

"The green bamboo hat, green straw raincoat, no need to return for a slanting wind and drizzle. There is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, it is true." Although I was in a bad mood, I could not help but sigh from the bottom of my eyes, but I could not help but sigh from the bottom of my heart.

"Oh, since sir, I love it so much, why don't you stay in Jiangnan for a while, and why do you have to hurry back?" The fat man also got up and came to the window, Zhan Yan smiled.

"You have official duties and you can't help yourself." The visitor also smiled, "Next time you have the chance, you must have a good tour of the scenic spots in Jiangnan."

"Why do you need next time? This time is not the right time. The autumn weather is clear and the sky is clear and the clouds are light. It is a great time for autumn outings. Liao really hopes that Mr. can stay in Jiangnan for a while. Maybe at that time, Mr. Liao still has many ideas to communicate with him." The fat man looked serious at this time, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

When the fat man suddenly heard this, the visitor was surprised. He looked at the other party but looked like a joke. Could it be that the other party really had to make a clear decision with his party? But why did he have to wait for a while? Or would there be other changes in the situation during this period? But no matter what the situation is, he would have to stay for the other party. If he really got the other party’s support, what would it be wrong to stay for a year or two?

"Then it's better to obey your orders than respect, I'll bother you." The visitor finally accepted the invitation from the obese man.

The camps in Bonan City are tightly built, with five steps and ten steps. This place has become the base camp for Wufeng to plan eastward advance. The Third and Fifth Divisions of the Northwest Legion have already arrived, and the Independent Third Infantry Division, which has been reorganized and changed numbers, is also stepping up its journey to Bonan. It is estimated that it will arrive in Bonan today.

"The Empire has not responded yet?" Wu Feng asked Qin Shuangying, who was cleaning up the intelligence next to him anxiously.

"Well, there is not yet. The information sent by Mr. Gu Ji said that it seems that the Central Committee of the Empire has a great disagreement on which part of the troops to be dispatched to reinforce the Kansai battlefield, and His Majesty the Emperor has difficulty making a decision. Now there is only the third of the Fourth Legion, which is staying in Tianshui. The Fourth Division has set out westward, but the progress is very slow, and maybe it is still in the running-in period." Qin Shuangying raised her head, and her beautiful phoenix eyes looked at Wufeng.

"Well," Wu Feng let out a long sigh and asked casually: "How is the situation of Shenei and Yueshan's division?"

"The Independent Second Division is in good condition. Now it is hidden secretly in the mouth of the sheep and horse. It has followed your order. Except for retaining a brigade of troops stationed at the gate, no one is allowed to leave the camp to prevent leakage." Qin Shuangying looked at her boss and lover with a strange look. This question has been asked for the second time today. It seems that her lover is indeed a little absent-minded.

The Independent Second Division has been in the Queqiao Pass for a long time. Since the war in Kansai, Wufengbian ordered the troops to enter the highest combat readiness state, especially the Independent Second Division on the front line is waiting for the front line. Just wait for Wufeng to give the order, he can pounce at the Queqiao Pass dozens of miles away according to the plan that had been practiced many times.
