At the junction of Yidu and Jiaocheng, there is a lake called Jianghu. An old man is sitting quietly fishing on the edge of a must-pass road.
It was already November, and Qi State was farther north than Yan State. It would snow from time to time in winter. However, the key thing was that the ice surface was frozen in this winter, and the old man was holding a straight hook there.
fishing.
"Creak, creak" came the sound of stepping on snowflakes from the direction of Jiaocheng, and following the sound, two men, one red and one black, were riding horses towards this side.
When the two men approached, the old man suddenly sang: "The vast white water is full of fish, come and call me, and I will live in peace."
When the man in red heard this, he reined in his horse and stopped, then made a gesture to the man in black behind him, and the man in black also reined in his horse.
The man in red turned over, jumped off his horse, and walked quickly towards the old man. The old man ignored him and continued singing, "The vast white water, the fish like the minnow..."
When the man in red saw that the old man ignored him, he was not angry. Instead, he squatted down beside the old man humbly and asked patiently, "Excuse me, old man. It's freezing cold today. The ice has thawed. You don't break the ice."
Will any fish take the bait?"
The old man still didn't look at the people next to him, but just stared at the fishing line on the lake, and said slowly, "I'm just learning from the old Jiang Taigong fishing."
A hint of joy flashed in the charming eyes of the man in red, and he smiled, "I also like fishing, and I know a place that is very suitable for fishing. I wonder if the old man would be willing to go fishing with me?"
"Since we are of the same kind, I am naturally willing to do so." The old man said, finally turning his head to look at the person next to him.
But in the next second, the old man's face twitched twice, his eyes were a little strange, and he paused when he reached his mouth, but soon recovered, "I am naturally willing."
The man in red was a little confused when he saw the old man like this, but he was very happy to hear his promise. Besides, ordinary people would behave differently when they saw their face for the first time, so they didn't pay too much attention to what the old man had just said.
look.
"I don't know how to address the old man respectfully?" The man in red looked at the old man sincerely.
"My surname is Mo, please give me a single name." The old man looked calm and calm.
"Don't ask." The man in red muttered quietly, then smiled knowingly, "Mr. Mo is really funny."
The man in red looked at the fishhook, and then looked at the old man intently, "The fishhook used by Mr. Mo is so special. I think this fishing technique is extraordinary. I wonder if I can teach it to the next one."
"Master, don't you want to know who I am fishing for?" The old man did not directly answer the man in red.
The man in red frowned after hearing what the old man said, "Who is Mr. Mo fishing for?"
The old man was silent again, but took out a letter from his arms and handed it into the hands of the man in red.
The man in red opened the letter and glanced through it quickly. His expression was a little complicated, but more of an unconvincing one, "Shangguan Feng'er is really not dead?"
The old man looked at the fishhook on the river, then picked up a stone nearby and threw it towards the frozen river. A hole was made in the ice.
After a while, a few fish jumped out of the hole in the ice.
In this winter, the fish were sealed under the ice, resulting in very little oxygen in the water. Therefore, the old man opened a hole in the ice and poured in oxygen. The fish that had been held in for a long time were naturally attracted
.
The man in red smiled evilly, "I didn't expect Princess Yan to understand my prince's heart so well. Okay, I agree, then the old man will go to Prince Gong's Mansion with me."
The old man stood up, then put away his fishing rod, looked at the two horses behind him, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
The man in red helped the old man get on the horse, then jumped on the horse himself, whipped his butt with his whip, and the horse galloped away towards Yidu.
The old man was actually Shangguan Feng'er in disguise. She waited for a long time at the place where Li Moran must pass according to what Lu Xi said, and finally waited for Li Moran.
However, when she looked at Li Moran behind her, she realized that Li Moran was the one who picked up the veil for her five years ago and rescued her from the Chu people two years ago.
