Chapter 50: Fishing for Heroes in the Hero Building

When Zeng Yu walked out, the young eunuch who had taken him in before sent him to the Hongdu Gate with a respectful face, which was the explanation of the eunuch in the hall, in order to tell the spies outside that this person was valued by their side.

A large group of people outside the Hongdu Gate looked at Zeng Yu together, and everyone was guessing, what official position did this young man donate? Why do these eunuchs seem to be very polite to him?

From time to time, someone walked up to Chen Chu to have a relationship with him, wanting to find out his details, but Zeng Yu was perfunctory.

When Zhu Wen saw Zeng Yu coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and wanted to ask, but under Zeng Yu's eyes, he silently followed Zeng Yu and helped him stop the other people on both sides who still wanted to meet Zeng Yu.

They left on foot, and along the way, the bustling ancient street market scene opened the eyes of the two. Hongdu Gate is in the south of the imperial city, and the two of them walked on the street, and before they knew it, they came to a magnificent building.

Zeng Yu stopped and looked at the building, only to see a plaque hanging upstairs, with the words "Hero Building" written on it. They had been walking for an hour, and this Hero Building could be said to be the tallest building that the two of them had seen, except for the palace and other official residences, the largest of which was only relative to commercial buildings.

If the two of them have inquired about Luoyang City, they will definitely know that in Luoyang City, the Hero Building can be said to be the most famous.

The Hero Building, as the name suggests, is mainly a place for warriors to come and go. Taishi said that chivalry is forbidden with martial arts! But it was a peaceful and prosperous era, and the emperor could not tolerate those warriors who killed people if they disagreed, so he would suppress the warriors.

But now the world has shown a trend of turbulent times, and the Han Dynasty is a dynasty where the martial spirit is still vibrant, and there are many people in the world who practice martial arts. Everyone who prides himself on being outstanding in martial arts hopes to be able to enter the eyes of the imperial court, and then make meritorious contributions with his hands, and then go to the title of marquis and pay homage.

Of course, there is another kind of people who also occasionally haunt, and they are the poor scholars. Nowadays, the power of society is mainly concentrated in the hands of wealthy scholars, and it is difficult for poor scholars to find a way out. Only by showing one's own ability, if it is valued by a certain dignitary, he will have the opportunity to take a step to the sky.

Therefore, most of the people in the hero building are often in and out, dignitaries, reckless heroes and poor scholars.

Now that the Han family is decadent, the program is often chaotic, and the chaos has been revealed, and the minds of the warriors have begun to change. The so-called learning of literature and martial arts, selling goods to the emperor's family, if the emperor does not know, sell to the person who knows the goods. The emperor is gone, and people with the ability naturally want to find people who know the goods, and the warriors and scholars from all over the world go back and forth to the Hero Building, just to let others know their abilities, in order to gain fame and fortune.

And dignitaries know that troubled times are both dangers and opportunities. Therefore, they will try their best to accumulate strength, in addition to money and food, talent is also their primary goal. Therefore, these wealthy families are now more interested in recruiting family generals and staff than before.

The two sides are willing to do so, and naturally a virtuous circle has been formed. There are more and more people coming and going, and the hero building is becoming more and more popular. This also created the scene in front of Zeng Yu and them, only to see people and cars coming and going in front of the Hero Building, including students wearing scholar's uniforms, stout warriors, and children of wealthy families who looked suave or oily.

Zeng Yu asked Zhu Wen to follow, and the two walked into the famous hero building in Luoyang City.

Zeng Yu asked the little maid to find them a window position on the second floor, and the two sat down opposite each other. Zeng Yu ordered a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts, and when the little guy was about to leave, Zeng Yu stopped him.

He took out a string of five-baht coins from his bosom and put them on the table, and said to the servant, "I have a few questions I want to ask, and if you answer correctly, these 100 five-baht coins are yours." ”

"Childe, please ask, the little one must know everything." When the little guy saw this string of money, his eyes lit up. Although I often encounter guests tipping, there are not many people who give a string of tips at once, and some children of big families occasionally give such happy rewards.

Zeng Yu asked: "Who runs this hero building?" ”

"Qi Yu Gongzi, the hero building is run by our Shi Ah Lou master, Shi Lou master studied under the tiger general Wang Yue, is also a swordsmanship master, it is said that the entire Luoyang City is only on swordsmanship, our landlord is second only to his division." The little guy hurriedly replied, with a sense of pride in his tone.

"Tiger General Wang Yue?" Zeng Yu tapped his fingers on the table and said with a pensive face.

Xiao Wu continued: "That's right, our Shi Lou Master is the eldest disciple of General Wang Yue. It is rumored that General Wang is known as the first sword in the world, and a long sword in his hand is invincible. When he was eighteen years old, General Wang entered Helan Mountain on horseback, and single-handedly killed the leader of the Qiang tribe, and returned with the head of the leader of the Qiang tribe, and no one dared to stop him; When he was thirty years old, General Wang traveled all over the state and fought almost all over the world. Now the saint values General Wang's martial arts and asks him to guide the martial arts practice of the two princes. ”

"Yes, I have also heard of General Wang's deeds. Then let me ask you again, is the Hero Building so lively every day? Zeng Yu nodded, and then continued to ask.

"That's not it, two years ago, it was just an ordinary restaurant, mainly for the entertainment of dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital and for ordinary banquets. It's just that in the past two years, many outsiders have come here, and those noble children have also come and gone to the hero building more frequently, and the business of the restaurant is so good. The little guy thought for a moment and said.

"I see, this string of money is yours." After Zeng Yu heard this, he thought about it and then threw the string of five baht coins on the table to the little guy.

"Little thank you, son, I'll go and get busy first, just call if you have something." The little girl happily took the money and thanked Zeng Yuzuo.

Zeng Yu saw the little guy leaving, looked at the noisy hero building, and said to Zhu Wen: "Chengyong, have you seen it?" ”

"Lord, what are you asking me to see?" Zhu Wen asked with a confused expression.

"You, don't tell you that you didn't hear it from the words of the little guy just now, now almost all people of insight feel that the world is going to be chaotic, and they are looking for a way for themselves, hoping to become a chess player in the troubled times, not a chess piece." Zeng Yu said to Zhu Wen angrily.

"My lord, you're joking, it was you who asked me to hide it when you were in Woniu Mountain, saying that in this way you can better protect yourself." Of course, Zhu Wen also saw the current situation, but since he drank too much and caused Zeng Yu to be in danger, Zeng Yu told him to hide part of his ability, so he has become accustomed to hiding clumsy, and usually only talks about elite martial arts to show everyone, so that all those who are not familiar with him forget that he is also from Qianlong Village, and Qianlong Village has never taught only one subject of civil and martial arts.

"Okay, you did Han Hao, but you can't compare to them in terms of intelligence, hiding is the best. In this way, others will only care about your martial arts, and your strategy will be your biggest hole card. ”

The two chatted with each other a little more, of course, Zeng Yu was talking more, and Zhu Wen was listening quietly. From an outsider's point of view, this is obviously a scholar waiting for the favor of a wealthy family with a dumb guard at home, but if you look closely at the two, you will find that Zhu Wen is definitely not a dumb guard, after all, it is impossible for the eyes of the dumb guard to flash with wit, and Zeng Yu, as his lord, how can he be an ordinary scholar?

The two sat for more than an hour, and saw several stout warriors recruited by different families and became the generals of these families, but several families were just small families, and the few warriors recruited were probably not their opponents in Zeng Yu's opinion, so they didn't pay much attention. However, Zeng Yu and the others also saw that there was a poor scholar who was valued by the disciples of the Dong family and was recruited by the other party as a staff member.

Zeng Yu saw this and thought of a possibility. That is, at this time, almost none of the top models in the Three Kingdoms have officially served a certain lord, and they must also be able to see the signs of chaos in this world, whether they will also travel to Luoyang, the center of the empire.

At this time, although the scholars of the poor family said that they were the scholars of the poor family, most of them had certain assets, otherwise they could not afford to buy bamboo slips, and they could not worship the teacher.

Since Luoyang is the center of the empire, it will definitely be the target of most scholars, and with the reputation of the Hero Tower in Luoyang City, this is almost a must-visit place for the scholars they come to Luoyang.

Zeng Yu called Xiao Servant and asked, "Xiao Er, can you provide accommodation in your restaurant?" ”

This little guy is the one who returned to Zeng Yu to ask questions just now, he heard that Zeng Yu seemed to want to live here, and happily replied: "Son Qiyu, I'm really sorry, our Hero Building does not provide accommodation for outsiders, unless it is a VIP in the Hero Building, and it needs to be booked in advance." ”

"Oh, so how do you become a VIP in the Hero Building?" Zeng Yu asked.

"As long as they are officials above the fifth grade, they will automatically become the VIPs of our Hero Building, or some children of families with personnel of the third grade or above are also the VIPs of our Hero Building." The little guy replied.

It turned out that the Hero Building was mainly for the pastime of the children of those wealthy families, so their main service objects were those high-ranking officials and their children. What even Zeng Yu didn't know was that the Hero Building also received various commissions, such as killing people, escorting some important items, and so on, anyway, as long as it was something that could make a profit, the Hero Building would take over. In short, those wealthy families are inconvenient to do by themselves, they can issue commissions in the Hero Building, and someone will help them complete it, and all of this is decided by Wang Yue and Shi A.

"I see, let's settle the bill first, and we'll come back tomorrow." Zeng Yu nodded, and also guessed the nature of the Hero Building.

Then Zeng Yu and Zhu Wen settled the account and walked out, but Zeng Yu did not go directly to the direction of the Zhang family's manor, but walked into an inn opposite the hero building. Since he can't move in the Hero Building now, it's the same to live across from him. Because he has the feeling that in the Hero Building, there will be top talents that make him appreciate and excite him. As for whether you can convince the other party after discovering it, this is not something to be anxious about now, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and you need talents, who wouldn't fool you?
