Yuhualou's reputation in the capital is still very loud, and it is usually three or five friends who gather here to discuss the good and bad governance of the country and the short and long of each theory. At this time, the green building was generally composed of several small courtyards and private rooms on the second and third floors, and basically each courtyard was about the same size, but the layout specifications were different. Because it is common to encounter disciples belonging to different schools arguing here, the hall of Yuhua Building is arranged in a very literate way, with the door opening to the south, and there is a small stage for female concubines to perform on the north side. There are small rectangular tables on each side of the east and west sides below, about 30 of them, and eating here is in the form of kneeling. Wu Lao Er is very disdainful of this, after all, now that the tables and chairs are available, these people have to kneel and sit with them in order to pursue the ancient meaning regardless of the comfort of the body. There is a large open space in the middle for dancing girls.

At this time, there were no less than thirty people sitting in the hall, and all of them looked like people who had learned a lot. Several of Boss Wu's so-called best friends are indeed disciples of the Legalists. There are three people in total, all with tense faces and unsmiling, Wu Lao Er really wants to ask if they look like this in front of their wives in bed? It's a pity that he didn't dare to ask, for fear that Wu Lao would slap him with thunder.

Listening to Boss Wu's introduction, what is this Senior Brother Sun, that is Senior Brother Qian, and this is Senior Brother Zhao. Wu Lao Er couldn't stop being polite, and his face kept smiling, until Wu Lao Eldest introduced himself to his friend and said: "This is my brother, who was originally on an errand in the palace, and will go to Daye City with King Zhao in a few days." Wu Lao Er paid attention to the expressions of the three people, and saw that these three people did not show disdain and other expressions because of their profession, so he felt that these people were really the children of everyone, and they did not look down on themselves because they were eunuchs. Wu Lao Er was very relieved, and even deliberately slapped a few words of Legalism's sycophants, and then everyone knelt in their seats and chatted happily.

It's not that they can't interject when they speak, but the necessary reserve when they meet for the first time still has to be retained, so they have to listen with a smile and nod their heads from time to time to show their approval. After a while, the principal of Yuhua Building came to ask Qu'er to order. Several people ordered a song "Broken Soldiers" by Senior Brother Zhao, and asked the 'Jade Beauty' Wuyang to sing.

Wu Lao Er came here for the first time, and he was not familiar with the tunes and the like, so Senior Brother Zhao introduced to him: "This song "Broken Soldiers" was made by Gongsun Qi, the head of the sword weapon sect back then, according to the alliance of the two countries of Black Jade and Huangshi in my dynasty. He nodded at the beautiful woman who was walking to the stage and said: "This woman was originally the daughter of the Marquis of Wuyang, five years ago, the Marquis of Wuyang was ordered to lead the troops to attack the Twin Cities of the Black Jade Kingdom without success, but instead the army was defeated and became a prisoner, and then led the Black Jade soldiers to attack my Baishan City." Although the battle ended up in peace, His Majesty was angry with the actions of the Marquis of Wuyang, and made his son a slave, and his wife and daughter were official prostitutes. ”

This kind of thing of surrendering to the enemy because of defeat is very rare in this world. All subjects have been instilled with the idea of loyalty to the monarch since childhood, and some people will not be taken prisoner if they commit suicide after defeat, and Wu Lao Er even sometimes feels that he should be loyal to the country to the death, so this kind of thing that a country will be captured by the enemy and attack his own country Wu Lao Er simply can't imagine. Therefore, only the son is a slave, and the punishment of the wife and daughter as official prostitutes is actually a mercy for his family.

Wu Lao Er had seen this incident in the literature, but he didn't know the details, so he asked: "I don't know why Wuyang Hou was captured and betrayed, does Senior Brother Zhao know the inside story?" ”

"Of course! The Marquis of Wuyang was defeated and captured by the enemy, and he should have committed suicide to apologize, but he didn't think that there was a Caihua princess in the Black Jade Country, and she heard that she was outstanding in literature and talented, and she was known as the first beauty in the Black Jade Country. This woman personally persuaded her to surrender, saying that she had admired the bravery of Wuyang Hou for a long time, and was willing to marry Wuyang Hou as a concubine, and sent someone to secretly take his wife and children to the Black Jade Country. The Marquis of Wuyang was deceived for a while and betrayed the country. Later, he didn't want his wife and children to be backbone, so he refused to commit treason to see Wuyang Hou, and reported to the official, only then did he know that Wuyang Hou had surrendered to the enemy. ”

Wu Lao Er interrupted Senior Brother Zhao's words in confusion: "Then why does Your Majesty still make such people who do not hesitate to be slaves and prostitutes for the country?" ”

As soon as Wu Lao Er said this, he knew that he was wrong, and the four Legalist disciples over there, including Wu Lao Da, all turned their heads to look at him. In the end, it was Boss Wu who opened his mouth and reprimanded: "How dare you talk nonsense!" The country has its own laws, and the Marquis of Wuyang is guilty of treason against the enemy, and the nine clans are not exempt! Now His Majesty saw that his wife and family had made great contributions to the country, so he absolved his relatives of the crime and only sentenced his wife and daughter to be official prostitutes for ten years, and his sons to be slaves for ten years. Ru'an dares to speak out here, and he hasn't thought about it quickly! ”

Boss Wu's merciless reprimand did not convince Boss Wu, but he also knew that the general environment was like this, so he had to honestly admit his mistake and take the opportunity to look at the singer. I saw that the woman was wearing a long black dress, revealing a pair of jade arms, which made people have an appetite when they looked at it, just as Wu Lao Er was about to see what the woman looked like, a word came from the opposite side that made the four Legalist disciples here furious

"Hmph, I didn't expect the famous Legalist disciple to be so unbearable!"

Wu Lao Er looked back, the person who said this looked slightly feminine, spoke quickly, and the light between his eyes flickered, and he knew at a glance that it was not a good match.

Senior Brother Zhao said angrily when he heard this: "My brothers and I don't want to do anything like you here, but I don't know how to provoke my brother to make a big fuss here!" ”

Senior Brother Qian and Senior Brother Sun also shouted: "I'll wait for the disciples of the Fa family to speak, what's the matter with you!" ”

Only Boss Wu was calmer on the side, but he also asked the person who opened his mouth with a blue face: "Brother Tai said that I and other Legalist disciples are unbearable, but I don't know what to mean, even if Wu and other brothers are unbearable, I don't know how my Legalist family offended Brother Tai." If Brother Tai can't say why, then don't blame Wu for being unkind! ”

The man ignored the anger of a few people, took a sip of wine and said: "When Sima Xiong was in Xiangzhou, he heard that there were disciples of the Shendu Legalist family, Zhao Zhuan, Qian Ye, Sun Wei, and Wu Nan, known as the Four Junjies. ”

Wu Lao Er found something interesting, the four people on his side seemed to have suppressed their momentum in a word, and they all wanted to grit their steel teeth. On the other hand, the other party took the initiative on the field with only a few words, and he acted slowly as if he didn't care. This kind of trick Wu Lao Er used in his previous life was the most handy, but he didn't interject, and wanted to wait to see how Wu Lao and the four of them responded.

After listening to Sima Xiong's words, the four of them came forward to deal with it.

However, Zhao Zhuan was obviously not good at this, so he just nodded calmly and said: "It turned out to be a disciple of the Xiangzhou Zongheng Sima family, so I forgive you for being clumsy." The rumors in the market are not credible. I just don't know why Brother Sima insulted me and other brothers so much? Please also ask Brother Sima to explain. ”

As soon as Wu Lao Er heard Zhao Zhuan say this, he knew that it was bad, the most taboo in negotiations and debates was to be led by the nose, and now Zhao Zhuan was not only led by the nose, but also stupidly sent his nose up to Sima Xiong.

Sima Xiong heard what Zhao Zhuan said but didn't answer, took a bite of food to eat, and drank a sip of wine, until the four of them were a little impatient to wait, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent stain at the corner of his mouth. Glancing at a few more people, including Wu Lao Er, the donkey's lips were not right and the horse's mouth was not in the horse's mouth, and Wu Lao Er asked: "Listening to the words of the few people just now, it seems that Your Excellency is not a disciple of the Legalist family but an eunuch?" ”

This is another negotiation trick, but unfortunately it is used with the wrong person. Wu Lao Er pursed his lips, thinking in his heart: Who are you with, don't give you some color, you really don't know that Lao Tzu has four names! Seeing that almost all the people in this hall were looking at themselves, Wu Lao Er bared his teeth at Sima Xiong and said: "I said that this Brother Ma may not have a good family education, and he drinks here with the four brothers, and he does not know Brother Ma, and Brother Ma interjects between us for no reason, and he speaks disrespectful words, this is also; My brothers asked, although they were angry but not rude, and they followed the rules, on the other hand, Brother Ma, who drank and ate by himself, heard people's words and ignored them, and lost the demeanor of the ancient family. Brother Ma is full of food and drink but still ignores the person who asks him, don't you know that the entanglement is caused by you, Brother Ma, these three also; Brother Ma wanted to lead the topic to other parties, to ask me about my origin, the words did not see sincerity, and the tone was not polite, at the very least, you didn't even say the word 'please', pretending, prohibitive, this is the fourth also. With these four points, everyone here looks down on Brother Ma, so Brother Ma's 'Legalist disciple's words just now must not be taken seriously. ”

As soon as Wu Lao Er spoke, not only Wu Lao Boss and the other four people, but everyone in the hall was stunned, surprised that this person didn't know who it was, and he had such a eloquent talent. And Wu Lao Er didn't wait for Sima Xiong to react and said: "I watched Brother Ma's words and deeds be pretentious, and there was no one in his eyes, and I heard several brothers say that Brother Ma is a descendant of the Zongheng family. In the lower plains I heard that the vertical and horizontal is everyone, since ancient times, the inheritance is prosperous, the grand occasion is unprecedented, there are no ancients, the world is rare, tsk, today I only know that "rumors in the market, not gullible". "This is what Zhao used to refute Sima Xiong's words just now, but it didn't work, and now Wu Lao Er is using it. Wu Lao Er also felt that the heat was not enough, and added: "Today, Brother Ma is doing this, it really confirms a sentence" Wu Lao Er paused when he said that he lacked morality, and sure enough, he saw that everyone's eyes were full of doubts and extraordinarily concentrated, and then he continued to say word by word: "Sheng, fame, of, down, it, it, real, difficult, vice!" ”

After Wu Lao Er finished speaking, he picked up the small wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine, picked it up and drank it slowly. It's not that he's pretending, it's just that his mouth is dry with such a lot of nonsense. At this time, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Sima Xiong, wanting to see how this disciple of the Zongheng family turned defeat into victory.

After listening to Wu Laoer's first paragraph, Sima Xiong wanted to open his mouth to refute, this is the skill of the Zongheng family, and he does not give the opponent a chance to give full play. How do you know that although Wu Lao Er has nothing to do with the word vertical and horizontal, he has practiced in his previous life, and he did not give Sima Xiong a chance to speak. Now Sima Xiong is so angry, he doesn't know where to refute it, if you want to start with Wu Laoer's words, then you have to go back and argue with Zhao Zhuan and others, but he can't justify Wu Laoer's harsh criticism behind him; And if you don't come from the beginning and the back, then Wu Lao Er's words to bury him can be regarded as solid. As soon as several of Sima Xiong's friends here saw that this usually eloquent friend's face was pale, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he was speechless, he knew that this brother had folded. But you can't just pull it down, the steps can't work, so why don't you have to find a ladder to go down? So a somewhat fat brother took over the baton from Sima Xiong's hand and planned to make a ladder to come out.

"What a mouthful, little brother! However, our friend has the surname Sima, but the little brother is screaming one horse brother after another, which is inevitably insulting to others."

In fact, at this time, no one cares about such details, as soon as everyone hears that the fat man comes out to talk about this, they all know that the other party is going to admit it. But Wu Lao Er doesn't plan to give the other party this opportunity, Nima's if you want to provoke a war, you can come with two cannons, and if you can't fight, you want to borrow an introduction to withdraw the army, so how can you do it, do you think you are the United States!

Wu Lao Er shook his head and said: "If a white horse is not a horse, then Sima can be a horse." "The allusion of 'white horse is not a horse' is the famous and proud work of Gongsun Long, the predecessor of the famous family, and the famous family is from the same source as the vertical and horizontal family, which is a branch of the vertical and horizontal family, but this branch is not much worse than the main trunk. When Wu Lao Er said this, his tone was flat and sincere, giving people the feeling of a gentleman being as warm as water, making people feel that his figure was infinitely tall, and the people in the hall looked at him with the eyes of the legendary immortals.

But Wu Lao Er was thinking in his heart that his performance was comparable to the 'ultimate killing technique' of Wolong Zhuge Kongming in the Three Kingdoms. If this Sima Xiong is thirty or forty years older, maybe he will sing "One World, One Dream" with Wang Lang and worship as brothers of the opposite sex in different times, places and times.

Wu Lao Er was dreaming of YY alone there, and what about Sima Xiong at this time? This descendant disciple of the Zongheng family had already left with a few friends when Wu Lao Er finished saying that. With a wave of his sleeve, he did not take away a single cloud, but he carried with him an unknown amount of debt.

He and his friends forgot to pay for the food and drinks
