Wang Hong welcomed Liu Yizhen into the banquet and greeted Liu Yizhen warmly, as if the two were old friends he hadn't seen for many years. He even asked his son and daughter to toast Liu Yizhen and let them treat Liu Yizhen as a junior.

Liu Yizhen also responded cheerfully and did not have an aggressive attitude.

Wang Hong's eldest son Wang Xi, like Wang Hong, both looked smiling: "Mr. Chang'an is really good at both civil and military affairs. I don't know about political affairs, but I have heard of the poem of Gong Chang'an. We brothers and sisters are all very good at it."

like!"

The scene seems harmonious, but the water behind it is getting deeper and deeper.

Liu Yizhen marveled at the perfect relationship with Wang Hong, and Wang Hong also lamented that Liu Yizhen had matured at a young age.

The first confrontation between the two sides revealed almost nothing.

Even if there is a gain, both sides only have one gain in common——

The other party is not easy to fool.

The next day, Wang Hong simply suggested that everyone go to the famous scenic spots in Yuzhang County to have a good time and cleanse Liu Yizhen. Naturally, Liu Yizhen had no objection. He was not really here to review Wang Hong's work in Jiangzhou, but to review Wang Hong's work in Jiangzhou.

This person is Wang Hong.

There are many waterways in Yuzhang County, so there is almost no need for horse-drawn carriages.

After leaving Nanchang County, Liu Yizhen and a group of Jiangzhou senior officials boarded a light boat and drove along the crisscrossing waterway with the breeze.

This was Liu Yizhen's first time to truly visit the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. He was very impressed when he looked at the green mountains on the waterside: "In ancient times, the "Shen Yi Jing·Dong Huang Jing" recorded that there is Yu Zhangyan outside the eastern wilderness, and this tree belongs to Kyushu.

.It is a thousand feet high, a hundred feet around, and three hundred feet high. It is like a branch, spread out like a tent. Cutting it can predict the good and bad luck of Kyushu."

"Although this Yuzhang is not a sacred tree, it is indeed related to the world and the country. It is true to say that it can predict the good and bad luck of Jiuzhou. What does the prince think?"

Liu Yizhen refers to Yuzhang by referring to the Yuzhang sacred tree recorded in ancient times, and also uses Yuzhang to refer to Wang Hong, or the Wang family.

It seems that he is asking about Yuzhang, but in fact he is asking about the Langya Wang family.

But Wang Hong continued to dodge: "The Yuzhang sacred tree is just a legend. I don't know if it is true or not. Although Yuzhang County is large, it is not as important as Danyang, which is governed by Chang'an Gong. Isn't it? There is Jingzhou in the west and Yangzhou in the east.

This Yuzhang cannot really be called a matter of concern to the world."

Liu Yizhen chuckled: "The prince is wrong. The star of Yuzhang County is divided into two wings, connected to Henglu. It has three rivers and five lakes, controls the wild bushes and leads Ouyue. It is really a land of natural treasures. How could it not be so?"

Is it important?"

This time, Wang Hong started to act stupid: "Mr. Chang'an is really good at writing! He writes neat parallel prose casually, which is amazing."

Seeing that Wang Hong still didn't follow the path, Liu Yizhen was a little helpless, but he also wisely stopped leading the conversation, and instead got along with Wang Hong and others like a normal outing.

I have to say that Yuzhang County is really a good place for vacation now. It is naturally not as prosperous as Jiankang, but in terms of scenery, it is even better than Jiankang.

"It's just a pity that Guo was not brought out..."

There is no one in the beautiful scenery. Once upon a time, this was the life Liu Yizhen longed for.

But right now it’s hard to live with it.

When you come to Yuzhang County, you must definitely visit Poyang Lake.

But now Poyang Lake is still called Pengze.

Everyone came to a small building by the river and looked at the magnificent and beautiful Peng Ze, all of whom were relieved of the oppressive atmosphere in the officialdom.

Even the two principals, Liu Yizhen and Wang Hong, stopped testing each other at this time and were immersed in the beautiful scenery of the river and the sky.

Soon the arranged banquet was served.

"Mr. Chang'an, this is my Pengze's unique lake fish. Its taste is very different from river fish. You must try it."

Wang Hong arranged for a plate of fragrant fish to be placed in front of Liu Yizhen. Just by looking at the color of the fish, you can tell how delicious it is.

Liu Yizhen came closer and smelled it, and the tangy smell of fish really made his index finger move.

"It's indeed a good fish. It doesn't have any earthy smell. It must be a big fish just caught today, right?"

"Mr. Chang'an is indeed an interesting person."

He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks. The fish was scattered as lightly as cotton wool, but when Liu Yizhen put it in his mouth and chewed it, he could feel the elasticity of the fish on his teeth.

“Good fish!”

Wherever the soil and water support the people, Pengze's fish really tastes unique.

Seeing Liu Yizhen using his chopsticks, the others stopped being polite and began to enjoy the fish and meat around them.

Liu Yizhen ate very quickly, flipping up and down with his two chopsticks, completely peeling off the fish meat from the fish bones, and then put it into his mouth to enjoy the meal.

The fish was indeed plump, and soon there was a pile of fish bones on the table.

Liu Yi wiped his mouth with true meaning: "It's delicious! But the fish is a bit too small."

Others: “…”

Liu Yizhen's fish weighed two kilograms and was the largest fish. But Liu Yizhen was still too small?

Wang Hong reacted quickly and said immediately: "If Mr. Chang'an likes it, that's great! I'll ask someone to make two more!"

Liu Yizhen stretched out his hand to stop him: "Although this fish meat is good, it lacks the fun of eating fish."

He pointed to Peng Ze beside the small building: "Peng Ze is right in front. Why don't we go fishing together? It would be fun to eat the fish you caught. Are you right, my lord?"

Wang Hong's expression changed, but he still followed Liu Yizhen's words: "That's true, the taste of eating fish you caught is indeed different."

"But I have never fished before. Prince, would you like to accompany me?"

"Since Duke Chang'an invites you, how can there be any reason to shirk it?"

As a last resort, everyone moved to the pier.

After that, Liu Yizhen started to be "hypocritical" again.

"I'm tired of building this big boat, but I haven't built this small fishing boat that can seat two people. Your Majesty, wouldn't you mind sharing this boat with me?"

Everyone hurriedly tried to dissuade them: "Mr. Chang'an, these are boats used by fishermen. They are dirty. And no one knows whether this boat is safe..."

"Crack!"

While everyone was still chattering, Liu Yizhen had already jumped into the boat.

Liu Yizhen turned around and invited Wang Hong.

"This boat is very strong, and a bit of fishy smell won't bother you. Why don't you, prince, come soon?"

Wang Hong looked around and forced a smile: "Mr. Chang'an, wait a moment."

So after getting the fishing gear, Wang Hong also came to the boat with the help of everyone.

Without waiting for anyone else to react, Liu Yizhen found an oar and pushed hard against the dock, and the boat left the dock under the reaction.

"Everyone, please wait patiently for a while. If I really catch a fish then I will definitely treat you to a banquet!"

So everyone could only wait anxiously on the shore, watching the boat get further and further away.

At this time, Wang Hong also took matters into his own hands and tidied up the fishing line in an orderly manner.

Liu Yizhen took a fishing rod to play with and sat down opposite Wang Hong.

The boat just floated in the middle of Pengze, feeling the gentle lake breeze, and the two of them said nothing.

After a moment, Wang Hong's fishing rod started to move.

"Prince's fishing is really stable."

Wang Hong looked at the fishing rod that Liu Yizhen turned over in his hand with some speechlessness, and said seriously: "Mr. Chang'an, that's not how you catch fish."

"I know."

Liu Yizhen turned the fishing rod harder and harder, causing ripples on the lake.

"But if I hadn't muddied the water, the prince's fish wouldn't have taken the bait so quickly, right?"

Wang Hong gently put away the fishing rod, removed the fish that had bitten the bait, and put it back into the lake.

He looked at the calm lake: "There are fish everywhere. Pengze is so big. You can always catch fish in another place."

"But you and I are in this boat now, aren't we?"

Wang Hong was speechless for a moment.

Liu Yizhen threw the fishing rod in his hand to his feet and looked directly at Wang Hong.

"My lord, I've enjoyed the scenery and eaten the fish. It's time to give me a happy word."

Wang Hong was a little amused when he saw Liu Yizhen's attitude of opening the skylight and speaking out: "So soon? I thought Mr. Chang'an could endure it for a few more days."

"The prince is a smart man, not a fool. Everything that needs to be done has been done today, and it will be a waste of time after that."

"I'm not afraid of losing the upper hand by expressing my stance first. Anyway, I came prepared to suffer a loss this time, and I'm not afraid that the prince will trick me."

Wang Hong was left speechless by Liu Yizhen's shamelessness.

"Chang'an Gong used some property to drag my Wang family into trouble, and now he actually got an advantage and still behaves?"

Anyway, right now in the middle of the lake, heaven and earth know what you know and what I know, and Wang Hong is gradually taking off his disguise.

"My Wang family has been famous for a hundred years, and now it's time to be wise and protect ourselves. If we continue to stir up trouble at this time, we will definitely end up with a narrow escape."
