At this moment, Deshan Garden has everything ready and is waiting for the auspicious day to open. The servants in the garden are still walking around in the familiar process.
Tang Shi asked about it, and it was said that the workers had all been sent to the lake and were cleaning the road there.
She walked across half of the garden, and when she came out of the south gate, she saw Yinjing Lake. Yinjing Lake is oval in shape, quite large, and there is a small island near the shore in the south of the lake.
There were workers busy by the lake. Tang Shi went over to ask. The middle-aged man laughed loudly and said: "Uncle Meng just wants to clean the road now and move away rocks and so on. The island in the middle of the lake is the second phase of the lake."
project!"
He said the new word about the second phase of the project in a particularly loud voice: "Uncle Meng only ordered the dead branches and leaves on the island to be cleaned up, but nothing else was touched. It's a pity that those houses are well built!"
Tang Shi took a quick look and asked, "Is there any house on the island?"
"Yes," the worker said, "there are several houses of different sizes, and there are also plum blossom trees, which are about to bloom. It's such a beautiful scene!"
Tang Shi said oh and planned to go to that island to see it.
Although the weather is cold, when it gets colder and the lake freezes and snow falls, will there be some literati who want to see a different scenery?
Tang Shi took a boat oar and knocked on the frozen water: "Is the ice thick? Can we just go straight...ah!"
With a pop, she knocked out a big hole, splashing water all over her body, and the boat's oar also fell in.
Tang Shi stood confused.
She originally thought the ice was somewhat thick, but she didn't expect it to be so thin?
Wei Xin couldn't stop laughing and called her quickly: "Master, I brought some clothes. Please go back to the garden and change."
Tang Shi was about to nod, but she heard a worker next to her say: "There are rooms on the ship! There are many rooms!"
Tang Shi thought the same thing. There were several boats on the lake, and one of them was a large boat. It was like a small villa, with two or three floors scattered up and down! If you change it nearby, you can go directly to the island.
She got on the painting boat with Wei Xin, and Wei Xin helped her change her clothes. The two of them laughed and laughed for a while. When Tang Shi opened the window and looked, he saw that the painting boat was already heading towards the island.
Tang Shi didn't pay attention at first, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar face.
Her heart suddenly thumped.
Isn't this person a seller of Hu cakes near Mrs. County's Mansion? She and the Fourth Prince went there to eat yesterday, and the man looked very dull at that time, not at all as strong as he is now!
Weixin folded her clothes and came out. When she saw it, she was shocked and yelled: "Nonsense! The master hasn't given any orders yet, why did he start sailing!"
Someone stuck his head out and scratched his head in confusion: "Didn't you just say you were going to the island?"
"What's the hurry!" Wei Xin scolded: "Master just came here to change clothes, he didn't bring a hand stove or anything else, how could he go there!"
"But we're already here," the man said, "If we go back, we won't be close..."
As the two of them were talking to each other, two boatmen walked up slowly, their movements a little weird, as if they had sharp knives hidden under their sleeves!
In the blink of an eye, Tang Shi understood their plan!
Ever since they left home today, they had been leading her to this island intentionally or unintentionally!
The workers in the garden and the workers on the shore are all their people!
That island is close to the south shore. If there is a conflict before they reach the island, they will do it on the lake. However, this may be noticed by A and the others, and their chances of escaping will be reduced!
But if they get to the island... they must have made arrangements and immediately escaped from the south shore after taking action!
Usually A and them protect her and are inseparable, but just now she wanted to change clothes and drove them away. They must have thought that she was playful, and even if they followed her, they wouldn't immediately! She is only surrounded by Wei Xin now!
It’s clear that we need to fight now.
If you don't make it clear, you will jump into their trap... Damn it, there are dead ends in front and behind!
It's only a moment that can delay it!
Tang Shi waved his hands lazily: "It doesn't matter, I just want to go to the island anyway! It's not the same if it's earlier or later!"
Weixin snorted and stopped talking. The two boatmen also stopped. Weixin glared at them and said, "You haven't served tea yet!"
The two boatman-looking people looked at each other, and one of them said: "I'm sorry, we are just working. We didn't prepare any refreshments. How about we wait until we get to the island?"
"Forget it," Wei Xin said, "Let's all go down and let our master enjoy the scenery at his leisure."
The two men went down.
Weixin held her hand and the two looked at each other, both seeing fear in each other's eyes.
Tang Shi smiled in a relaxed tone and said: "It's weirdly cold... and there's no good scenery." He gestured with his eyes and asked Weixin if he could deal with it.
Weixin slowly shook her head.
She was a Shadow Guard and was good at hiding and spying. It was easy to escape, but she wasn't that powerful when faced head-on.
Tang Shi understood. While chatting, she wrote in her hand, "You go first."
Weixin shook her head vigorously with a firm expression.
Tang Shi had no choice but to go out and walk around on the boat, looking at the surrounding terrain and these people.
Fortunately, these people seemed to have regarded them as dead people and did not stop them.
Suddenly I heard Wei Xin say: "Commander Yan!"
Tang Shi quickly raised his head, and the joy that had just risen quickly disappeared.
Yan Chengyuan was obviously here to inspect the soon-to-be-opened Deshan Garden. He was traveling on a very small boat and only had one soldier and one boatman with him.
But the atmosphere around him quickly became tense.
Tang Shi just didn't realize it. She stood up a few steps, cupped her fists and raised her hands, with a provocative look on her face: "Isn't this Commander Yan?"
Yan Chengyuan had obviously seen her a long time ago. When he saw her turning around, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and nodded.
Tang Shi said: "Commander Yan came to my Deshan Garden without saying a word so that I could welcome him!"
Yan Chengyuan said: "You're welcome."
"Who are you being polite to?" Tang Shi's face sank: "The whole capital knows that our two families are not willing to deal with each other. You must have had bad intentions when you suddenly came here! You don't want to kill people and set fire to my territory.
Right! Or did you bully me into being alone and want to kill me directly? How on earth did I get in your way to make you so vicious!"
The soldier next to him couldn't help shouting: "What nonsense are you talking about! Our commander is just doing a routine inspection!"
"Who knows! You know people but don't know their hearts. Those who stab you are the people around you. Commander Yan looks like a human being. He wants to kill people but he doesn't show it on his face! I can tell you, my people are all
We are waiting on the shore, don’t think that you are the only one in numbers..."
Her expression and tone were too offensive. Yan Chengyuan said coldly: "That's enough! I won't argue with you, a little lady!"
He threw down his sleeves: "Hurry up! Get out of here right now!"
The soldier's eyes were blazing with anger, and he didn't dare to say anything. He just rowed with the boatman, and the boat flew away as if it was flying.
Tang Shi sat back and hummed: "I get angry when I think of that Yan Tingyue!"
"Okay, okay," Wei Xin pretended to persuade: "Although Yan Tingyue is indeed not a thing, master, you should take care of your temper and don't sneer at Commander Yan whenever you see him. He is also a high-ranking official..."
Tang Shi nodded: "I understand."
She suddenly pointed forward: "Hey! Why don't we go to the south bank to have a look?"
