PS: Thank you for the monthly pass and reward support of the book friends Autumn Leaves! In today's modern Chinese history exam, I realized that our nonsensical ability is not useless, and I smiled proudly~

Yingzhou is surrounded by mountains and lakes, and ascend to the head of the city, across the Han River can also see the old Yingzhou on the east bank of the Han River (now Zhongxiang), the new and old Yingzhou hold both sides of the Han River, if you do not conquer Yingzhou, even if the Mongolian army occupies Xiangfan, it is difficult to continue to attack Ezhou south for a while.

Yingzhou in the southwest of the Han River gathered more merchants and scholars, while the old Yingzhou on the northeast bank mainly played the role of a fortress, after all, no one had the heart to live under the oppression of the Mongol army. When the Tianwu Army took over Yingzhou, there were only a small number of Xiang troops stationed in both the old and new Yingzhou, after all, Xiangfan in the north was still there, and even if the Mongolian Tatars took Yingzhou in the south, it would not have much effect.

Even now, there are still only more than 1,000 people stationed in the Tianwu Army in the old Yingzhou, and with the steep terrain, it is enough.

The sky was cloudless, and the streets of Yingzhou were lively. No matter what era people are, a sunny day is a good time to hit the streets.

Although the city of Yingzhou is not large, because it is an important town south of Xiangyang, many scholars and people who migrated from the north gathered here, and the war in Xiangyang was still frequent, so most of the merchants from the south also stopped here.

This also inadvertently created a short-lived prosperity in Yingzhou, especially in Xinyingzhou.

There is no end to the shops on both sides of the street, and there are many restaurants and tiles, and there are also carved and painted theaters in between. The faint smell of wine fills the street, and the sound of the shouting of the merchants reverberates.

After all, Yingzhou is not like an international metropolis like Lin'an, if compared with later generations, Lin'an's street shops are gorgeously decorated shopping malls, while Yingzhou's street shops are more civilian wholesale markets.

Either way, each has its own characteristics.

In particular, although Yingzhou is a "wholesale market", it still maintains the cleanliness of the streets, and the shops on both sides are also neat, except for some noisy and non-grade, there is nothing to find fault with.

Think back to the West at this time. I'm afraid that the streets are still full of sewage, so it's no wonder that people like Marco Polo were shocked by what they saw in China and called it "paradise".

Dressed in a simple black robe, Ye Yingwu subconsciously put his hand on the pergola and looked at the sky. Hui Niang next to her was also a very plain dress, looking at the surrounding scenes, her pretty face showed a curious look. Although I don't want Ye Yingwu to delay his official business because of "shopping", after all, it is a woman's instinct, and when she walks on the street, Hui Niang has already thrown these things out of the clouds, and she can't wait for every store to go in and take a walk.

Ye Yingwu is fine. gritted his teeth and survived, after all, it was not unheard of before to accompany the female ticket shopping, but it was bitter that Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai, the two pro-guard commanders who followed far away in the crowd behind, where had they suffered such a crime, looking at the two of them gritting their teeth, I was afraid that they would rush to the battlefield to kill a few more Mongolian Tatars, and they would not want to walk for a few more hours.

Tugging Ye Yingwu's sleeve, Hui Niang said softly: "Husband, look, there seem to be a lot of people over there, is something going on?" ”

Ye Yingwu hurriedly looked sideways. He knew very well that if he didn't watch it anyway, Hui Niang would definitely delay the time to pester himself to watch, so it was better to watch it neatly. Sure enough, there were more and more people gathered over there, Ye Yingwu frowned, and glanced behind him, Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai, the two brothers and sisters, had no choice but to step forward and open the way for their own envoy and master mother in front.

Although these two guys are not the kind of big body type, after all, they are all honed by fighting on the battlefield, and their strength is not small. Soon a passage was opened. Although the people around me hated this kind of guy who forcibly squeezed forward, after all, watching the excitement first, so no one cared much about it for a while.

When they squeezed to the front, Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai once again quietly returned behind Ye Yingwu and Hui Niang.

In the clearing, a strong man roared at an old man with gray hair. Next to the old man was a small blunt bunk, but it had already been smashed by several people who were also tall. The strong man still scolded and kicked the old man:

"You old man really don't know what to do, I don't know who the uncle is, even if I know it, I still want Lao Tzu to pay money, I'm really impatient! According to Lao Tzu, you can get out of the city tomorrow! ”

The old man was curled up on the ground. Silent. And Ye Yingwu and Hui Niang glanced at each other, couldn't help frowning, Hui Niang turned to look at a middle-aged woman beside her: "Auntie, can you ask, what happened?" ”

The middle-aged woman had a sad look in her eyes and shook her head: "You two are not from Yingzhou, let's hurry up, it's better to not know about this kind of thing." ”

Ye Yingwu said softly: "Auntie, this is inappropriate, although he is not from Yingzhou, but he can't watch this old man being bullied like this, and he should draw a knife to help him when he sees injustice, isn't there a great way for these guys to come from?" ”

The aunt glanced at Ye Yingwu with some surprise: "You scholar, you are not small, but it's a pity that this thin little body is probably not enough for those people to fight." These guys are the famous little overlords and street tigers in Yingzhou, and there are really very few people in Yingzhou who can afford to provoke them on one acre and three points of land. I don't know how this old man provoked them, not to mention that the blunt shop was smashed by others, this beating is not light. ”

Another shopkeeper standing next to him also shook his head: "Alas, it's just a pity that this old Zhangtou's wonton is dull, and no one in the surrounding neighborhood knows that Lao Zhangtou's wonton is called a delicious one." It's a pity that I won't be able to eat it in the future. According to a certain look, these street tigers are still walking around carefully. ”

Ye Yingwu's heart couldn't help but darken, he didn't expect that such a thing could happen under his nose. And Hui Niang subconsciously tightened the corners of his clothes: "What should I do?" ”

"What should I do?" Ye Yingwu smiled, "Cold." ”

"You can still laugh at this time, look at the old man, it is estimated that those people will not survive if they kick it again." Hui Niang said softly, full of worried looks, obviously very dissatisfied with Ye Yingwu's behavior of standing by and watching.

Ye Yingwu didn't answer, but walked straight forward, and didn't forget to look back at Hui Niang, as if smiling. Seeing a person suddenly coming out of the crowd, the big men were also taken aback. However, the strong man in the lead immediately said in a cold voice:

"You guy, but you're being squeezed out of the crowd?"

Before the big man finished speaking, several of his entourage laughed one after another, but the crowd was silent, and all eyes looked at Ye Yingwu. Looking at this young man who was dressed plainly and his appearance was not good-looking, I didn't know if he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers or if he really had such a three-point ability, after all, everyone had never seen this person before.

Ye Yingwu didn't look at the strong men, and walked straight over to help the old man, and even exposed his back. Hui Niang secretly scolded "fool". In desperation, he could only get out of the crowd and help Ye Yingwu support the old man.

Although Hui Niang was just dressed up simply, and did not apply grease and powder, she still attracted the attention of many people when she walked on the street just now, and now she is standing in front of the public, her hair is in the wind, and her clothes are fluttering, which is even more eye-catching.

There are beautiful women in the north, who are inherited and independent, and I am afraid that it is nothing more than that.

The strong man who had kicked and beaten the old man swallowed softly. Such a beautiful woman has never seen it in her life, and she is dressed plainly, she doesn't look like the daughter of a rich and noble family, if she can snatch it and hide it in a private room, she will be satisfied in this life.

Feeling the unkind gazes cast by a few strong men not far away, Hui Niang frowned slightly, and shrank into Ye Yingwu's back: "What should I do, if they beat you・・・・・・"

Ye Yingwu slowly stood up and glanced at the strong man in the lead casually: "Let's talk about it, why did this old man offend you?" ”

"Where did you come out of nowhere? Uncle, I don't want to do it again today, hurry up and get out of here, and that little lady is very smart, leave it for the uncle. The strong man didn't mean to answer the question. With a wave of his hand, two of his subordinates went forward to drag Ye Yingwu, while the other two walked towards Wang Qinghui behind with a smile.

Ye Yingwu glanced at them in some surprise, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "In this world, there is really no reason at all." ”

"Phew, what's the reason!" The two strong men said disdainfully. shook the fist in his hand, "Boy, Uncle will tell you today, this fist is the truth!" That's what the uncles are talking about, that's the truth. ”

Ye Yingwu smiled faintly and did not speak again.

Since you say that fists are reasonable, then you have to do what you say. Without waiting for the four strong men to take another step forward, several figures had already rushed out of the crowd, although they were not as big as these four strong men, but they were coming quickly, and the move was close to the point!

Several strong men were taken aback, they didn't expect that there would be someone who would come out at this time, but they are also used to the street tigers, and they have long been surprised by these guys who have seen uneven roads, and they have taken action to let these guys see and understand, and no matter other places, just in Yingzhou, who is in charge!

However, they soon found themselves underestimating their opponents, and the humble man in gray looked like he could knock him to the ground with a single punch, but he couldn't, and their punches hit their own soft underbelly with ease.

Ye Yingwu squinted slightly, these gray-clothed people were naturally Ye Yingwu's personal guards and six door guards scattered in the crowd, Ye Yingwu was in danger, and it was impossible for them to stand idly by. However, Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai were not far away in a lively posture, after all, to deal with such a simple opponent, they didn't need the two of them to take action.

Although these strong men are very big, the opponents they face are even more ruthless, these are the elite of the Tianwu Army who fought from the battlefield with a knife and a gun, how can they be dealt with by these pure street tigers who usually only bully men and women?

"Leave a living mouth." Ye Yingwu said coldly, no one paid attention to this young man, and he didn't know when the light smile on his face had dissipated, replaced by a strong ruthless aura, obviously he had already moved his killing intent towards these strong men.

With Ye Yingwu's order, the gray-clothed man who beat these strong men and couldn't find the north took a step back at the same time, suddenly pulled out the short blade in his sleeve, and jumped up again. A moment later, there was a series of screams in the field, and drops of blood fell into the dust.

What the hell is this young man?! There was a sound of surprise in the crowd, obviously this young man who didn't seem to have anything special, there must be a background behind him that shocked them, no wonder he didn't look like a down-and-out scholar, but more like a high-ranking man.

The strong man who had just taken the lead had been pressed to the ground by two gray-clothed men, and his minions had long since fallen to the dust around him. Apparently half frightened to death by the sudden change. And the strong man also knew that the young man in front of him was an existence that he couldn't afford to provoke, so he immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.

Ye Yingwu didn't look at him, and turned straight to help Lao Zhangtou with Hui Niang. Fortunately, the old man was only smashed in the pergola outside, and the hut inside was just a little messy. Ye Yingwu smiled lightly: "Old man, it's not a big deal." ”

Lao Zhangtou was already frightened by the dramatic change just now, and when he saw Ye Yingwu asking, he said tremblingly: "No・・・・・・ no." Thank you for your concern. ”

"Husband, I see that you have scared the old man." Hui Niang glared at Ye Yingwu with disgust, this guy is too, he did it directly in public, and he was really not ambiguous at all. The Tianwu Army, from their envoys to every soldier below, is a living embryo, and this sentence is really not wrong at all.

Ye Yingwu's face sank, and he immediately said lightly: "It's just some moths, if you kill them, you will kill them, and it is also a certain duty to eliminate harm for the people." ”

Hui Niang shook her head and didn't say anything more. But Lao Zhangtou hurriedly took out two bowls of wontons from the pot: "Two nobles." This is the wonton that Xiao Lao'er put in the pot just now, it is really unrecompensable, please try it with the two nobles, after all, it is almost noon. ”

Hui Niang hurriedly wanted to excuse herself, but Ye Yingwu gently pressed her shoulder, bowed her head at Lao Zhang, and immediately shouted: "Bring that guy to so-and-so!" ”

The strong man was lifted to the bottom of the steps like a chicken, Ye Yingwu glanced at him with interest, and scooped up a wonton with a spoon: "Say, where are you from." I am really curious, there are still people in this Yingzhou who claim to be bigger than so! ”

The strong man originally wanted to struggle, but at this time, he showed a shocked look and looked at Ye Yingwu: "You・・・・・・ you are ・・・・・・"

"It's good to know who so-and-so is." Ye Yingwu tasted the ravioli. said a little vaguely, I have to say that this wonton tastes quite good, and this old man really has three points of craftsmanship.

The strong man barely calmed down, and said bitterly: "Back to the minister, the villain is just a person who collects some money on the street to protect money, but there is no big way to come." A certain family is the minister of Yingzhou. It is the cousin of the prime minister in the court, who did business here and laid a huge foundation. ”

"Stay?" Ye Yingwu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled coldly, "I still think it's a big way, it turns out to be Liumengyan's cousin, I might as well go and visit, I still want to know, how much talent does such a guy have in his belly." ”

I know that my master is going to be tossed by this little evil star, but now it is better to save my life, after all, this little evil star's ability, who doesn't know on both sides of the river now? The 100,000 Mongol Tatar army that fought in the first battle of Anyangtan was completely annihilated, and how many people in the Great Song Dynasty had such ability?

The strong man continued without hesitation: "My family stays in the prime minister's ・・・・・・, that bastard originally asked someone to collect money on this street, but today he asked for an extra half a tael of silver, but this old man didn't give it, and someone had no choice but to ・・・・・・ ・・・・・・"

The old man said with a little trembling: "Half a tael of silver, this half tael of silver of the old bone needs to be tossed for four or five months, and every month an extra half tael of silver, where can I stand it!" ”

Ye Yingwu's face showed a trace of coldness, and Hui Niang gently held his hand, asking him not to kill because of impulse, after all, the beginning and end of the matter have not been completely clarified, and the ability of that surname is still unknown.

Ye Yingwu nodded at Hui Niang, and then said coldly: "Come on, take this guy to a certain person, and leave it to your commander Zhang." ”

There were six doors The gray-clothed man escorted the panicked strong man away, while Ye Yingwu put down the spoon and smiled at the old man: "Old man, your wonton is really worthy of the name, do you plan to continue to do it in the future?" At least no one will come to you asking for money. ”

Lao Zhangtou was extremely happy, if it wasn't for Hui Niang's quick hand to grab him, I am afraid that he would have fallen to his knees: "Of course Xiao Lao'er is willing, of course he is willing, but this is a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation, even if it was Nandu back then, it has not been lost, and Xiao Lao'er naturally doesn't want to break here." ”

Ye Yingwu stood up and looked up, the room was a little dilapidated, but it was filled with the unique aroma of wontons, and it was hazy and hazy. Ye Yingwu took a breath lightly: "Old man, how about a plaque for your small shop?" ”

People are old and fine, and the old head will naturally not refuse this good idea, after all, the origin of this young man in front of him must not be small, if there can be a plaque with his inscription, then it can be used as a golden signboard in the future.

Ye Yingwu waved his hand lightly, and after a while, Jiang Tie personally put all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table, this kind of task of serving the boss came quickly. And Wu Chucai looked at Jiang Tiexian's courtesy, and shook his head helplessly.

Hui Niang glared at Jiang Tie, this guy was not shy, he stepped back quickly, he had the self-knowledge that a personal commander should have. And Hui Niang stepped forward to study ink for Ye Yingwu, Ye Yingwu glanced at her in surprise, and immediately spread out the paper, the best wolf was full of ink, and Ye Yingwu wrote four big words:

"Ruyi Wonton"

(It's just a spoof here, just a laugh)

Without Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai worrying about the seal, Ye Yingwu lifted his robe, took off his private seal from his belt, slammed it to it, and then clapped his hands and looked at Lao Zhangtou. It's a pity that Lao Zhangtou doesn't know how to read, and looking at the handwriting of Long Feifeng Dance, he was a little stunned.

"Leave this framing matter to us." Ye Yingwu glanced at Jiang Tie, and Jiang Tie hurriedly nodded.

Hui Niang immediately smiled and said: "Old man, these four words are called 'Ruyi Wontons', but I want you to do all the best." ”

"Ruyi? Good wishes! The old man's eyes were filled with tears, as if he would remember his life that was not very satisfactory, "Then I don't know what is red behind this is ・・・・・・"

"This is the seal of the inscription, these three words are called ・・・・・・" Hui Niang was stunned for a moment, staring at Ye Yingwu, and didn't know whether she should say it or not.

More and more people had already flocked to the door, tiptoeing to see what was written on the paper. And Ye Yingwu waved his hand and arched his hand at Lao Zhangtou, Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai had already consciously opened the way in front, Ye Yingwu dragged Hui Niang and walked in a hurry.

When a few people left, the crowd of good things poured into the store to look at these four big characters, but the seal under these four words attracted more people's attention. Immediately, a scholar read out with some surprise: "These four words are, Ye Yuanlieyin." ”

"Ye Yuanlie?" One of the shopkeepers was stunned for a moment, apparently unheard of the name.

But there were well-informed people who suddenly screamed, and soon more people came to their senses! Ye Yuanlie, Ye Yuanlie, the Ye Envoy who had just fought in Xiangyang, the Ye Envoy who hurriedly returned to Yingzhou not long ago, isn't it the word Yuanlie!

Most of the people had a look of shock and ecstasy on their faces, they didn't expect that they would be able to see such a person and such a demeanor in their lifetime!

And the old Zhang Tou standing there was also dreamlike. (To be continued.) )
