Zhao Ying smiled lightly, picked up the wine glass and stretched out to Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment before sending a cup to greet him, at this time there was no habit of clinking glasses, and toasting was only available in later generations.

After clinking glasses, Wu Zhongyuan drank half of it, Zhao Ying tasted it lightly, put down the wine glass, turned his head to look around, and looked at the situation inside the wine shop, perhaps out of curiosity, or out of the professional habits of the agent.

"Come, taste," Wu Zhongyuan picked up the chopsticks and pointed to the vegetables on the table, "At this time, the materials are very scarce, food and clothing are difficult to maintain, and there are not many delicious things, the food here is very good, and it is very good at this time." ”

Zhao Ying didn't politely refuse, picked up the chopsticks and tasted them one by one, this is not the first time the two have eaten at the same table, but it is the most relaxed, at least for Zhao Ying, she doesn't have to hide her true eating preferences and eating methods, Westerners don't have as many rules at the dinner table as Easterners, and they are more open after getting the invitation and permission of the host.

Oriental people pay attention to food and do not say anything, if they need to talk at the banquet, they will temporarily put down their chopsticks, but there is no such rule in the West, Zhao Ying has been carefully tasting, instant comments, and those who have an appetite will eat a few more bites, and occasionally pick up a wine glass to drink and accompany the meal.

Wu Zhongyuan took the wine jug and poured wine for it, because the dining table was relatively large and there were many varieties of vegetables and vegetables, if he found that he had an appetite for Zhao Ying, he would move it closer to Zhao Ying.

"What does it feel like to be worshipped?" Zhao Ying wiped the front of the chopsticks with a tissue while speaking, she has always had this habit, which is also a more educated habit, not to confuse the juices of different dishes with each other through the sticks of chopsticks, and to avoid chopsticks with their own saliva from contaminating the remaining food on the plate.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't expect Zhao Ying to ask such a question, and after thinking about it, he replied, "Pressure, huge pressure." ”

"I also feel that although you are the ruler of the world, you are not happy to live," Zhao Ying said, "You have achieved such amazing achievements in just over two years, it is really very rare, but your mental pressure is too great, and if you go on like this, you will have problems sooner or later, you have to try to slow down." ”

Wu Zhongyuan smiled, it was a wry smile, "I want to too, but time is running out, the time left for me is too limited, I have to merge all the tribes in the entire Central Plains region into one in one year, you should know that unification is simple, integration is difficult, and it involves all aspects." At the same time of developing productive forces, I also need to consolidate national defense, pre-war preparations, I am the Yellow Emperor, the following thousands of threads will eventually converge to me, there is an old saying called pull a hair and move the whole body, I am highly nervous when I review the folds, any order I give will become a national policy, will affect thousands of people, I can't tolerate carelessness. ”

Zhao Ying took a sip of the wine glass, "You are now the king, even if the people below find a problem, they don't dare to react truthfully to you, let alone criticize you, but I am an outsider, I dare to say what they dare not say, I understand your situation and difficulties, but you are too purposeful now, and even your eyes are full of eagerness and exhaustion, I feel that now you are not controlling the situation, but the situation is controlling you, you are completely pushed by the grim situation, getting closer and closer to the king, and getting farther and farther away from Wu Zhongyuan." ”

Wu Zhongyuan was thinking about what Zhao Ying said, and did not answer immediately.

Zhao Ying added, "If my guess is correct, you should be desperate to send me away now, and then make time for the things you have to do." ”

"If you want, you can stay here for a while, and I'll accompany you around. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"No need, I understand your difficulty," Zhao Ying stood up and took the soup bowl in front of Wu Zhongyuan to serve the soup for him, "I'm already very touched that you can accompany me for a day, others won't have such treatment." ”

"You're no one else. Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile.

"You still like me. Zhao Ying smiled with a little relief

Wu Zhongyuan didn't deny it, but he didn't continue the topic either, "You just said that I was too purposeful, and then said, after finishing the words, what do you think I should do right?"

"We have all your test scores from elementary school to university," Zhao Ying said, "and it is not difficult to find through these data that you can do your best in everything from childhood to adulthood, and you study very seriously and very hard." ”

"If you are taught by an old Taoist priest in his seventies or eighties and a senior brother who risked his life to dig coal, you will study very hard. Wu Zhongyuan closed his eyes and sighed, thinking about it carefully, he hadn't thought of his master for a long time, and he didn't even think of Lin Qingming very often.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan's bitter memories were aroused, Zhao Ying hurriedly diverted the topic, "What I want to say is that you don't have to do your best in everything at all, you should relax appropriately when it's time to relax, feel all kinds of beauty in life, don't live so tired, if you can't do everything well, some minor things can be given up." ”

"Haha," Wu Zhongyuan smiled, "If you weren't my friend, I would interpret your words as the bewitchment and corruption of the head of state by the hostile elements." ”

"Are we just friends?" asked Zhao Ying with a smile.

"What are you doing?" Wu Zhongyuan rolled his eyes, "You, an enemy agent, sugar-coated cannonballs, still want to lure the heads of other countries?"

"Haha, do you accept it?" Zhao Ying also smiled.

"You're too direct, aren't you? Wu Zhongyuan was a little nervous.

"No, it's not direct, I only have one night. "Zhao Ying is half-true and half-false, to be exact, nine truths and one falsehood.

"If you don't get it, you won't lose it," Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand to pick up the vegetables, "Some things are better to retain a trace of beauty and leave some memories." ”

"Are you indirectly rejecting me?" Zhao Ying tilted her head to look at him.

Zhao Ying looked at Wu Zhongyuan, Wu Zhongyuan also tilted his head to look at her, this is a beautiful and familiar face, before this he never thought that he would be able to see Zhao Ying again one day, looking at this familiar face, his thoughts returned to the time when he got along with Zhao Ying day and night, all kinds of deeds, vividly, outside the cave where the little wizard was, if it wasn't for Zhao Ying to save him, he would have been killed by the bird warrior dressed as a Taoist.

After looking at each other for a moment, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "It's so kind to meet old acquaintances in other places, but there are some things I won't do." ”

"Reason?" asked Zhao Ying.

Wu Zhongyuan put down his chopsticks and chewed the bracken in his mouth, "Do you know why Chinese like the number nine? Nine is the extreme, more is ten, ten is full, full will change, we are now to nine, I don't want to have other changes, whether it is good or bad." ”

Zhao Ying smiled, "I have a set of data in my hand, which is a statistical survey of people before death, the number of statistics is more than 200,000, including more than a dozen countries in the East and the West, the people surveyed have different outlooks on life and ideologies, the content of the survey is what their biggest regret is, the results of the survey are strikingly similar, their biggest regret is not what they should not do, but something they have always wanted to do, and they have the opportunity to do it but did not do it, and the result is a lifelong regret." ”

"Is this the reason why you Westerners are messing around?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile, this sentence must be asked with a smile, otherwise it will be too heavy and too sharp.

There are active and passive sides to everything, and the passive party has the right to refuse, so it has the absolute initiative, Zhao Ying knows very well that Wu Zhongyuan wants to make her angry, and then ends the topic in this unhappy way, so she didn't get angry, but explained with a smile, "You don't want to move flowers, change concepts, mess around, and have a low-level instinct that is not to do in-depth understanding, just to satisfy desires, and it will be empty and regretful afterwards, not something someone has always wanted to do, didn't I just say it clearly?" It's a pity to do something you've always wanted to do, but you didn't do it when you had the opportunity to do it. ”

Wu Zhongyuan smiled, changed the language, and ordered the guys to eat, to be exact, porridge, people at this time generally don't eat dry rice at night, it's all rice porridge.

Zhao Ying didn't eat much, there were still a lot of vegetables left, and Wu Zhongyuan was also hungry, so he took a big bite of food with a rice bowl.

Ideology determines the way of behavior, Zhao Ying is very bold and direct, the most important thing is that she knows very well that she will have to rest after eating, and there is no time for her to push slowly, "You may have a misunderstanding about agents, agents also have human rights, what we don't want to do, the superiors will not force us to do it." ”

Wu Zhongyuan knew what Zhao Ying meant by this, but he only pretended not to know, "You talk about human rights at every turn, you invade other people's countries for oil, and make other people's countries into a miasma, if you really talk about human rights, people's **** will be sentenced to life imprisonment at most, you are good, you will hang people directly, is this all done by people?"

"You don't want to ramble, you know what I mean. Zhao Ying glared at him.

"This fish is good, there is no one in modern times, you eat a few more bites. "Wu Zhongyuan delivered it on the end plate.

Zhao Ying stretched out her hand to block it, "You have her and marry another woman, your morality is already flawed, and you can't be a righteous gentleman." ”

"This is ancient times, not modern times. Wu Zhongyuan retorted.

"Then what are you still afraid of?" Zhao Ying was a little anxious, and her face turned red.

"Oops," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand impatiently, "I don't want to do something, why do you have to force me?"

"Hypocrisy, you are so hypocritical!" Zhao Ying raised her voice, "Do you not want to do it, or do you dare not do it?"

"What am I afraid of?" Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand and pointed around, "I am the Yellow Emperor and I am the biggest, I can do whatever I want." ”

"You hate me so much?" Zhao Ying was emotional.

"I don't hate you," Wu Zhongyuan sighed helplessly, "I didn't do anything to you when you killed my father-in-law, don't speak with your conscience, use the method of agitation." ”

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, he took out a qi tonifying pill from his waist bag and put it on the table, then stood up, "Let's go, the hotel here is very good, there is a hot spring in the room, I'll take you there." ”

Wu Zhongyuan went first, and Zhao Ying could only follow.

Wu Mei and the others have been guarding the door, there are too many vegetables left on the table, Wu Zhongyuan is reluctant to waste, and after going out, he said to Wu Mei, "You have a lot of hard work, the wine and food on the table are rewarded to you, and there is still a surplus in the exchange, you can order some warm wine and hot soup." ”

Wu Mei and the others were moved to thank them, and watched Wu Zhongyuan and Zhao Ying leave.

When he arrived at the Dexi Street Inn, Wu Zhongyuan chose the best one, took Zhao Ying to the door, pushed open the door, and turned sideways, "You rest early, I still have something to discuss with them." ”

"Don't make excuses, just go in and sit for a while, don't do anything else, just talk. Zhao Ying invited softly.

"Words have to count. Wu Zhongyuan's soft-hearted ** illness has been committed again, and if he refuses sternly at this time, it will make Zhao Ying very embarrassed.

"Hmmm......"
