Before Pan Long finished his meal, someone came to him.

At that time, he was eating a steamed fish dish. This dish was available everywhere, but the style was different.

Northerners like to marinate or even air-dried, and then steam and eat, because many of the fish in Northerners are poisonous, and this method can be used to resolve the toxicity as much as possible. As for the taste... in the face of safety, taste is not an indispensable requirement.

People in Yizhou and Yunzhou like to use spicy food as seasoning, which is salty and spicy, which is their favorite taste. The same is true for steaming fish. If it is made exquisite, fill the seasonings into the fish's belly. As the fish is steamed, the flavor of the seasonings will be fully penetrated. If it is made rough, it is naturally applied directly on the fish and then steamed in the pot. Although the taste is very strong, it tastes very satisfying and very good, but strictly speaking, it is not very suitable for Pan Long's taste.

People in Yangzhou are not the case. They use ginger, green onion, etc. as the main seasoning, and a little sauce and vinegar. The steamed fish tastes light and tender and delicious. Especially the word "fresh", which is obviously inferior to those of the northern part of Yizhou and Yunzhou.

The two restaurants that Pan Long ate today also had different methods of steaming fish. Lanyuelou made some small cuts on the fish and filled some seasonings that did not affect consumption. The taste was a little richer. Yinfeng Pavilion (the one he is eating now) filled the fish's belly with ginger and green onion, brushing the fish's soy sauce and vinegar on it. The inside and outside flavors penetrated each other, which was very interesting.

Anyway, he was very satisfied with the food.

Eating fish is a bit troublesome because there are thorns on the fish. Although Pan Long's strong body, even if he chews a whole fish and swallows it, it will not be pricked, but it will damage the texture. Only by carefully removing the fish bones can you enjoy the most delicious fish meat.

He was carefully removing fish bones when he suddenly heard that the originally lively restaurant had quieted down, and someone even walked towards him.

When I looked up, I saw a young man dressed in luxurious clothes and handsome appearance. He was holding a gold-painted sticker in his hand and walked towards him with a smile on his face.

He put down his chopsticks and looked at the other person.

The young man's breath was stable but a little quick, his steps were stable but he had no strength. He should have undergone special etiquette training, but he did not know martial arts. He was probably the kind of person who specialized in diplomacy and other work.

Facing Pan Long's gaze, he seemed a little nervous, but there was no change in the smile on his face or the steps under his feet.

After a while, he walked to Pan Long's table, bowed, and said in a calm and respectful tone: "May I ask, are you Pan Long and Pan who showed your power in the Liu Mansion in Jianji Town, Shien County, Wuling County, Yizhou, who killed the murderer, broke the magic knife, and saved more than 200 Liu's family and thousands of guests' lives?"

Pan Long nodded, there was nothing to hide in this matter.

The young man seemed even more respectful and sent the note: "The villain is ordered by the Marquis of Yang, and asks the hero to go to Chunfeng Tower to dinner tomorrow. If the hero has something to do and cannot find time for the time being, you can also make another appointment."

Pan Long was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that it was the Marquis of Yangzhou who came to him.

The official system of the Daxia Dynasty was quite special, and the marquis of the prefectures were established in Jiuzhou. Some of these prefectures were hereditary, and some were selected. Most of them did not manage the personnel and finances of the prefectures, but they had a great say in governance and had greater military power. In addition to the imperial guards of all the emperors, the soldiers and horses in the prefectures were all transferred by them.

The Emperor of Daxia sat high in the capital of the gods in the sky, and the Marquis of Jiuzhou divided the Jiuzhou, which was the core structure of the Daxia court.

And the so-called "Yanghou" of the young man refers to the Yangzhouhou.

The official title of Jiuzhou Hou did not have the character "Zhou" in the middle.

Pan Long originally planned to find him some civil organization, but he didn't expect that the first thing he came was the official of the Daxia court.

"It turned out to be the Marquis of Yangzhou? I wonder why the Marquis came to me. Could it be that there is something to order?" he asked carefully.

The young man smiled and said, "Horse Yang has always respected those who have made achievements. The hero made great achievements that day. Since you came to Yangzhou and Guangling City, why would Yanghou not want to see you?"

"If you are just curious, then forget it." Pan Long shook his head, "The former wise man said, 'If you read a good book, you want to know the author of the book. There is no need to. If you eat a good egg, do you still have to know the hen that lays the egg?" I think this makes sense."

Faced with his polite refusal, the young man was not dissatisfied with it. He nodded slightly, but did not mean to take back the sticker. Instead, he placed the sticker carefully in a clean place on the table.

"What the predecessors said is indeed very reasonable. Since you don't think it is necessary to meet, then Yang Hou will naturally respect your opinion. But please be sure to accept this post. Perhaps if you have any questions in the future, you need to use some official identity to post this post, which can reduce some minor troubles, so as not to be bad for those who are thieves."

Seeing that he was so polite, Pan Long couldn't find anything to refuse, so he nodded and accepted the post.

The boy smiled slightly, saluted again, and then walked backwards out of the restaurant. During the whole process, his movements were like flowing clouds and water without any hindrance. I don’t know how much time he practiced to achieve such a manner.

After he left, Pan Long took out the paper and looked through it. He saw that the front of the paper painted the simple terrain of Yangzhou. The word "Yang" in the middle is square, looking flat and stable, and written very calmly.

On the back of the post, there is a picture of Guangling's spring outing. The picture is a famous painting hundreds of years ago. The copy and printed versions are everywhere in the world. Pan Long had also seen copied works in the north.

Open the note, which used the same stable font to describe the admiration of Pan Long by Yangzhou Hou and invited him to meet him when he had time.

The words are gentle and earnest, and the attitude is peaceful and respectful. If it weren't for the private seal of Yangzhou Hou who shone with magic at the signature, it would be impossible to tell that it was an invitation written by the dignified Jiuzhou Hou to a martial artist in the martial arts world.

"This Marquis of Yangzhou is a very well-educated person..."

Pan Long couldn't help but mutter, feeling a little emotional.

When he saw the small details, the envoys under the Marquis of Yangzhou and his invitations seemed so gentle and polite. Unless the Marquis liked to play with the same tricks in person, at least his usual style of doing things should be like this gentle and politeness.

To use a saying that I don’t know whether it is a positive or negative meaning, it is very gentlemanly.

But... the saying of the gentleman's style may not be a good thing in Daxia. Because the word "gentleman" is usually used by people, the most important thing is "hypocrite".

The style of Daxia is the official text of Wenchao, which is very common. It is also the most influential one. With the blessing of this style of writing, whenever literati talk about a "gentleman", at least six or seven times out of ten times were malice with sarcasm, and the remaining three or four times were not necessarily all good intentions.

The gentleman's style is actually not very popular in Daxia.

Emperor Jiazi Zhao Sheng said back then: Those who are brave are almost abused, those who are polite are almost false, those who are wise are almost cunning, those who are kind are timid, and those who are righteous are almost circumspect, those who are righteous are almost circumspect, and those who are not human innocence.

From him, the etiquette and style of the Daxia Dynasty tended to promote "true temperament", not to say that they wanted to take off their clothes and throw birds in the street, but to praise joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and clearly expressed it.

But this Yangzhou Marquis obviously did not agree with this true nature.

Pan Long frowned slightly, thinking about the meaning.

(Could it be... the Marquis of Yangzhou himself was not so loyal to the Daxia court?)

(Impossible! The Emperor of the Great Xia is not stupid, how could he send a person who is not loyal enough to be the Marquis of Jiuzhou Prefecture? This idea is simply an insult to everyone's IQ!)

(But if he is loyal to the Daxia court, why do you deliberately show this kind of gentleman style? Wouldn't this make people doubt it?)

Pan Long's conjecture is reasonable. He thinks that no matter who it is, he will have such a conjecture when encountering his own situation.

So, why did Yangzhou Hou let others have such a guess?

This made him puzzled.

He considered the possibility of "leaving a snake out of the hole", but then denied it again - the practice of leaching a snake out of the hole seems to be quite smart at first glance, but it is actually very stupid. Whether it can lead to the person to seduce, it is not worth exchanging the political credit of his or even the court.

For an organization, political credit is the most important thing. The so-called "if people are dispersed, the team will be difficult to lead" refers to the situation where there is too much loss of political credit.

Therefore, since ancient times, there have been various means of winning the trust of the people and establishing political credit, but no wise leader will lose political credit in order to achieve his goals.

The Marquis of Yangzhou may not be a wise leader, but he must have a wise enough staff. Judging from his style, he does not seem to be a guy who is determined to act, ignores other people's opinions and only asks others to shut up. Then he naturally should not make such a mistake.

But in this way, his approach could not be explained...

Pan Long thought for a long time but could not think of a reasonable explanation. Finally, he could only shake his head, put away the invitation, and concentrate on eating.

The meal was finished shortly after, and then he walked out of the hotel without finding a place to stay. He lost his trace out of thin air again under the tracking of at least twenty or thirty spies.

When he saw him walking through a corner, he suddenly disappeared. More than one spy couldn't help but walk to this corner and search everywhere.

Of course they couldn't find anything, because Pan Long used his untracked step and would not leave any trace.

"It's so strange. Why does this great hero always like to play the elusive trick?" After a long time, a spy couldn't help but sigh, "Do you play with us running errands? What's the point?"

"God knows, maybe it's just someone's habit." Another spy said, "But this great hero Pan's hidden art is really unpredictable! If I have such ability, I will be the number one intelligence dealer in Guangling City!"

"If you have this ability, Yangzhou's number one spy can do it."

"Yes, I'm so envious!"

"Stop envying, who is the person he is? Can we compare with us?"

A group of spies from all walks of life talked a few words, left each and reported to their superiors.

But Pan Long had already left Guangling City and came to the suburbs.

He originally planned to live in Guangling City, for example, the famous Yanzhi River, so he was very curious and wanted to go for a walk, or even find a pleasure boat to stay for one night.

He wasn't interested in the famous prostitutes who were busy with Qin and Chu, he just wanted to know what it felt like to sleep in a river with the smell of rouge?

However, after the shock at Guangling Academy, he changed his mind.

Yangzhou is worthy of being one of the nine provinces, Guangling is worthy of being the capital of Yangzhou. It is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and I don’t know how many masters are.

Staying in the city overnight is not very appropriate!

So he left Guangling City directly, went outside the city to find a pavilion beside the main road for pedestrians to rest, and lay there all night.

The next morning, he entered Guangling City again, found a teahouse, and had the famous tea in Yangzhou.

Breakfast for Yangzhou people starts with drinking tea and eating snacks. The two are collectively called "refresh".

Tea is brewed green tea, and it is a variety of soft, sweet and sweet desserts. Both of them are exquisite and delicate. Each dessert is delicious.

Pan Long felt that all kinds of snacks were good, and he wanted to eat this one and that one, so he accidentally ate more than a dozen cages - it was also a big blame for the steamer in Guangling City, which was too small, with only five or six snacks per steamer, and that snack was small, and the two or three were not as big as his palm... In short, when he noticed that the empty steamer piled up on the table in front of him was almost higher than his head, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

It is a blessing to be able to eat, but eating like this... I always feel a bit embarrassing.

Just when he was secretly embarrassed, he suddenly heard a chuckle coming from a distance.

(Don't be surprised, please refresh it in ten minutes...)
