At this moment, the old man with gray hair, thin body, shabby clothes, and a bit of profligate appearance sitting on the left side of His Royal Highness is Hou Ying.

This Hou Ying is a hermit.

Wang Kangju once said in "Anti-Hidden Poems": "The small hidden tomb is a small hidden tomb, and the big hidden is in the market." ”

Hou Ying is such a wonderful person hidden in the court.

There are eight gates in Daliang City, and Hou Ying acts as a supervisor in one of the gates called "Yimen", and this supervisor is responsible for leading the team to check the people, carriages, goods and other positions that enter and exit the city gates, to put it bluntly, he is a gatekeeper.

Seventy-year-old Hou Yingcai got into such a position as a janitor, and it can be said that his life in this life is quite unsatisfactory.

In fact, this Hou Ying's family background can be described as poor.

But although Hou Ying is poor, his reputation is not small, when he was young, he used to be the idol of the rangers in Daliang City, and when he was older, he turned into a behind-the-scenes think tank-type figure, and he has a lot of friends with Xinlingjun's doormen, and he has also instructed many of these doormen's juniors, so that the doormen have benefited a lot.

In general, this Hou Ying is a bit similar to the classic character Whitebeard Grandpa, which is a must-have classic character in fantasy.

It is precisely because of this that when Wei Wuji's doormen had nothing to do about the predicament that Wei Wuji was facing now, many doormen remembered this Hou Ying, and then recommended Hou Ying to Wei Wuji.

When Wei Wuji heard this, he knew that there was such an incredible figure in Daliang City, so he immediately sent someone to invite Hou Ying to the mansion with a generous gift.

This is also Wei Wuji's most effective routine to win people's hearts - money offensive. After all, in this Warring States Period, which has begun to show the habit of laughing at poverty and not smiling at prostitution, the money offensive has begun to show an invincible situation.

But what Wei Wuji didn't expect was that when his envoy came to the door with a generous gift, he was neatly rejected by Hou Ying.

Hou Ying's original words are as follows: "The minister has cultivated himself for decades, and he can't accept the wealth of the son because of the difficulty of the prison gate." ”

After the envoy returned to Wei Wuji, the smart Wei Wuji knew as soon as he heard this routine - Hou Ying didn't want money, or Hou Ying wanted more than just money.

Hou Ying's subtext is, to put it bluntly: "A few stinky money just want Lao Tzu to sell you his life?" Let's be respectful! ”

A person like Hou Ying, we can either call him arrogant or pretending to be forced.

But although Hou Ying made it clear that he wanted to pretend to be forced in front of Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji didn't think it was angry, but felt happy in his heart.

There is a saying that if you can't pretend to be forced, you will become stupid*.

Who is Wei Wuji? That's the world-famous Xinling Jun. Anyone who dares to pretend to be forced like this in front of Wei Wuji is either a person with real skills, or a 24K pure fool*.

In view of the statements of the doormen, Wei Wuji felt that this Hou Ying, who was so pretending to be forced, was definitely a person with real skills.

So Wei Wuji decided to cooperate with Hou Ying and let Hou Ying force this to continue.

Just two hours ago, after Wei Wuji ordered someone to set up a banquet in the mansion, he took the carriage and horse to pick up this Hou Ying in person.

In order to show respect for Hou Ying, Wei Wuji specially gave up the position on the left side of the carriage.

When Hou Ying saw Wei Wuji coming, he was not polite, tidied up his shabby clothes, got into the car and sat down directly, and then spoke: "There are guests in the city, I hope the prince will ride through the car." ”

So Wei Wuji personally drove the carriage and took Hou Ying to the lively Daliangcheng Market.

Hou Ying came here to visit a butcher named Zhu Hai, Hou Ying's old friend.

Hou Ying chatted as soon as he got off the carriage, and it was an hour to chat.

An hour is equivalent to two hours in the future, and this Hou Ying just hung Xinling Jun Wei Wuji there for two hours, which can be said to be a very pretentious performance.

If it is any nobleman who is a little short-tempered, then it is estimated that Hou Ying will not finish talking about this day, and the head will land first.

But Wei Wuji just held back.

Wei Wuji not only held back, but was also very calm.

Obviously, the entire market came to watch Wei Wuji act as a driver for Hou Ying, and Wei Wuji's entourage was even more annoyed and wanted to kill Hou Ying, but Wei Wuji didn't look angry at all, so he waited for two hours.

After a full hour, Hou Ying finally finished chatting, and got in the car with peace of mind and went back to the house with Wei Wuji for the banquet.

Obviously, Wei Wuji's attitude was quite in place, allowing Hou Ying to pretend to be forced in front of everyone, and Hou Ying was finally satisfied.

So on the way home, Hou Ying spoke: "Does Gongzi think that Ying is a rude and rude person?"

Of course, Wei Wuji denied it: "Mr. said this is wrong, Mr. is capable, Wuji has long known it, and I want to ask Mr. to help Wuji."

Hou Ying is relieved now, since he is forced to put it in place, he has to start performing.

So Hou Ying said to Wei Wuji: "Win has heard the name of the son, and knows that the wisdom of the son is far better than ordinary people." Childe can know that what the winner does is not to win the name of one person, but actually the name of the child. ”

As soon as Wei Wuji heard this, it was interesting, you pretended to be such a big force in front of me, or was it for my good?

I'll have to ask for advice.

Wei Wuji said, "May Mr. teach me."

So Hou Ying said: "Who is Ying?" However, the person who hugged the gate was also, and the son rode to the car in person, and he won in the eyes of everyone, which was an unprecedented luck in his life. In the middle of the car riding in the market, passers-by to watch the son, the more respectful the son. The people in the city all regard Ying as the villain, and the son as the elder can be a corporal. Isn't this a win for the son to make a name for himself? ”

When Wei Wuji heard this, he was convinced at that time.

It seems that this Hou Ying is indeed a capable person, not only pretending to be forced by himself, but also giving Wei Wuji the name of Corporal Lixian by the way, which can be said to be mutually beneficial, and everyone is win-win.

Not only that, Hou Ying also said to Wei Wuji: "Zhu Hai, the butcher visited by the minister, this son of a sage, the world can not know, so he hides the slaughter." Win has said to Zhu Hai, he is willing to serve the son from the win, and help the son to become a great cause. ”

When Wei Wuji heard that this was still buy one get one free, he was even more happy.

So as soon as he returned to the mansion, Wei Wuji treated Hou Ying as a guest and feasted with Zhao Sheng and Wei Wuji.

But in the final analysis, Wei Wuji invited Hou Ying to solve Zhao Sheng's trouble, so when Zhao Sheng sighed in front of Wei Wuji again, Wei Wuji finally couldn't help but ask Hou Ying for an idea.

Wei Wuji retreated left and right, leaving only three people present, and then said to Hou Ying: "Mr. Hou, today I want to join Zhao and fight against Qin, but the king wants to connect with Qin and destroy Zhao." Sir may teach me, how can I make the king change his mind? ”
