In Xiangyang City, a handsome scholar was sitting in the boat on an inconspicuous boat. There was no fourth person on the boat except a boatman and a slave.

"It's already noon for the young master, it's time to start the boat!" The boatman stepped forward and asked the handsome scholar. The young master had rented his boat earlier and said he was going to Xinye. At the fifth day of the day, the boatman arranged the boat in place. The young master also arrived soon, but he sat on the boat and said he wanted to wait for someone. It took half a day to wait. The boatman was making a living. Although the young master had already given the boat money, he could not delay like this. If he kept doing this, would he still have to do business.

The handsome scholar heard the boatman respectful, but there was a hint of complaint in his tone. Although this person was a child of a gentry, he did not have the arrogance of a gentry. If he was an ordinary gentry, the boatman might have such complaints from the boatman, or he would have been ruthless and said, "Wait a little longer!" The handsome scholar smiled at the boatman and said.

"But!" After all, the boatman is just a commoner. He doesn't know what advances and retreats, and how can he know what gentleness means? He only knows that if he delays it, he will have to take on such a business today.

"Defu doubles the price for this shopkeeper!" The handsome scholar not only read thousands of books, but also walked thousands of miles away, naturally knew the hardship of making life. He did not make things difficult for the boatman, but directly doubled the price so that the boatman would not urge him anymore.

Sure enough, after hearing the double price, the boatman immediately smiled, "Young Master, wait slowly. Don't worry, don't worry!" This young master is equivalent to two people. Originally, his small boat traveled back and forth between Xiangyang and Xinye, and sometimes he could only run half a day after slowing down. But now he has to pay double the price, which is a waste of money. Why not wait for three minutes?

Another half an hour passed, from morning to afternoon, and I could wait like this. Maybe it would be dark.

"Master, this mountain man probably won't come!" The servant named Defu next to him suggested to Junxiu scholar. "Let's better drive the boat!"

Waiting for nothing, you can't wait aimlessly. The gentleman still has something to do, and the letters in his arms have just been warming up.

"Well!" Junxiu scholar nodded. "If we have more than half a cup of tea, let's start the boat!"

"I understand, lord!" The servant ordered the boatman and half a cup of tea passed quickly.

The handsome scholar showed a look of disappointment on his face. He waved his hand and was about to let the boatman drive the boat. Suddenly, a shout came from the shore, "Wait, boatman, wait!" Another scholar ran towards the river bank in a hurry.

"Master. The mountain man is here, the mountain man is here!" The servant pointed at the figure on the shore and shouted to his master.

Hearing the screams of the servants, the handsome scholar also turned his eyes to the shore. It was indeed that person. The handsome scholar smiled on his face, "I knew that Brother Shanmin would come to see me off! The boatman stopped the boat!"

The boatman quickly put the board down and connected the scribes from the shore into the boat.

The two young scholars looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with smiles: "Brother Qishan"" Brother Shanmin!"

It turned out that the two scholars in this boat were Pang Shanmin, and the other was Pang Shanmin's close friend Tang Yun and Tang Qishan. One was the mountain and the other was for the people. The two were born with a friendship, and they were childhood sweethearts.

"I thought Brother Shanmin had forgotten me, my virgin!" Tang Yun and Tang Qishan spoke first, and as soon as they opened their mouths, Neuy's tone was spoken.

"How dare you! Brother Qishan, that's my close friend of Pang Shanmin. If I don't come to see you off, Brother Tang Yun won't eat me!" Pang Shanmin also smiled and joked.

"It won't be eaten until it's done. It's just that Brother Shanmin, the good wine contained in your study must be known to your sister-in-law!" Pang Shanmin is good wine, but his body cannot drink much of wine. Pang Shanmin is honest and honest, but once such an honest and honest person is drunk, he seems to have become another person, extremely wild, and he is simply losing his soul. He once pointed at his father's nose and scolded him. Pang Degong was so angry that he drove him out of the house. Tang Yun felt it was funny. With such a drink, naturally Pang Shanmin's wife did not dare to let him drink, so ordinary Pang Shanmin only satisfies his cravings in the study.

"Come on, if your sister-in-law knows, you'll be ready to drink alone!" Pang Shanmin said angrily, "This envoy is a secret matter, but Brother Qishan!" If Tang Yun was just traveling, Pang Shanmin would have come long ago, but this time he wandered for a long time before he arrived, because this was Tang Qishan's entrusted by Liu Jingzhou and Mr. Kuai Yue to go to Yangzhou for a mission to Yangzhou. It was very secret because he was afraid that those who were interested would know it.

"Haha, no one in the world, I, Tang Yun, can't trust anyone, but I always believe in you, Shanmin Brother. Will Shanmin reveal my whereabouts?!" Tang Yun teased and said, "The two of them are friends of the generals. To put it simply, they grew up wearing pairs of pants. They have a close relationship since childhood. They have a close relationship. In addition to their wives, they basically share good things. Even Tang Yun's father called Pang Shanmin is not Pang Gong, but his uncle called him.

"Be careful! Be cautious!" Pang Shanmin was still quite worried about his close friend.

"When did Brother Shanmin become an uncle?" The uncle is naturally Pang Degong, and Pang Degong is naturally likes to preach as a role model.

"Are you sure about this mission?" Pang Shanmin was still very worried about his friend, because the place he went to was Yangzhou this time. Pang Shanmin, Liu Mang, Yangzhou, had never seen him, but he heard from his second brother Pang Tong that this person was a hypocrite and a real villain. Under the banner of benevolence and righteousness, it made millions of people unable to eat enough and wear warm clothes. He was also the son-in-law of Lu Bu, a slave of the three surnames. Therefore, Pang Shanmin was very bad about Liu Mang's image. He was almost becoming that kind of evil person.

"I said I was not sure, do you believe it!"

"If you are not sure, then don't go!" Pang Shanmin directly dissuaded, "If this Liu Mang army comes, come. It is not much better for those who are rashly fighting. This may be very dangerous. It is better to speed up the transportation of food and grass to contact Nanyang food and grass. Let Liu Jun help me to resist the invading enemy in Jingzhou!"

The Liu envoy mentioned by Pang Shanmin was naturally not Liu Biao, but Liu Bei. Tang Yun looked at his best friends and knew that he was worried about him, but Tang Yun knew that if Liu Mang was not a good person, then Liu Bei was not the same thing. If Pang Tong had not killed Liu Mang in Xiangyang, the envoy would have such an ending of breaking the city with such a soldier.

Tang Yun was on a mission to Yangzhou, and he could not say he was not sure or died. He was sure. But he was on the 55th! If Liu Mang was really a stubborn person, then Tang Yun's mission would naturally have no effect. If Liu Mang was a person who could tolerate him, or if he was not a person who likes war, then Liu Biao's conditions would definitely make him retreat. No matter which of these two results were, Tang Yun would not be in any danger.

"The thing is due to human affairs. Brother Shanmin Jingzhou is the last paradise in the world. It cannot be attacked by war!" One of the reasons why Tang Yun and Pang Shanmin became friends is that they also do not want war, but hope to have a peaceful and prosperous era.

"So, Brother Qishan should take care of everything!" Pang Shanmin knew that he could not dissuade him. It was getting late, and if he delayed it, he might not be able to arrive in Xinye in time.

"Take care!" Pang Shanmin got off the boat. The boat was rowing by the boatman and walked west along the Yangtze River.

Pang Shanmin watched the boat sink into the Yangtze River, and then turned around and walked back towards Pang Mansion in Xiangyang.

As soon as Pang Shanmin left, someone came to the place where Pang Shanmin had just looked far away, and finally muttered to himself, "Gray cloth, white sails, and a small boat with ten briquettes!"

...

The boat continued to move. The wind was not strong today. Although the boat was going upstream, it was also very happy and still walked most of the journey in half a day.

After eating in the boat, Tang Yun lifted the curtain and asked the boatman, "Boatman, how far is it from Xinye?"

"Geometric distance?!" How can the boatman understand the geometric distance just an ordinary person who is seeking life? He can only explain, "Young master, I have already come down half a way. I will arrive at Luokou Ferry in another half an hour ahead, and after Luokou Ferry in another two hours, I will arrive at Xinye!"

"It's two and a half hours!" Tang Yun listened to what the ship owner said. Two and a half hours were enough for him to read several pages of books, and then walked into the cabin. "Remember to call me when you arrive in Xinye!"

"Ter, young master!" The boatman nodded and responded.

Luokou Ferry is just a tributary on the Yangtze River. Its waters are very shallow, and it is basically difficult to get through large warships, but it is truly unhindered for such small boats with dozens of materials. This also makes many small boats go to Luokou Ferry, because the waters here are shallow, which is much faster than walking on the big water route, and it is very convenient to have no official checkpoints. After passing Luokou Ferry, it truly belongs to Xinye.

In the cabin, Tang Yun was reading a book with Gongyang Chunqiu with great enthusiasm. Every bit of the book was copied by Tang Yun himself. At this time, the books were really as expensive as gold. Only the gentry had such things, which also led to many poor families not being able to read the book at all. Although the Tang family in Tang Qishan was a genius, it was not a big family. Gongyang Chunqiu was borrowed from the Pang family, so Tang Yun read this book very much.

Gongyang Chunqiu is one of the Confucian classics. It started in the first year of Duke Yin of Lu and ended in the 14th year of Duke Ai of Lu, which is the same as the beginning and end time of "Spring and Autumn". According to legend, the author was a disciple of Zixia, Gongyang Gao, a native of Qi during the Warring States Period. At first, it was just circulated. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, it was passed down to Gongyang Shou, who wrote "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Shou" together with Gongyang Shou and Hu's mother (Zidu). The book offered to the Spring and Autumn Period was written by He Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Just as Tang Yun was reading with relish, the boat suddenly shaking, as if it had hit something. Tang Yun threw out the book that he didn't pay attention. Fortunately, Tang Yun stabilized his body in time and then picked up the book.

"What's going on? Have you arrived in Shinno?!"

Outside the boat, three other boats were surrounded. (To be continued...)
