It seems that this person has a high prestige among the villagers, Wu Yingying secretly said in his heart, looking at this person, he is tall, with sword eyebrows, and several large patches on his undyed coarse cloth clothes, but they are very fit, and the whole thing gives people a very comfortable taste.

He looked at the black iron plate handed over by Song Wende, nodded, and went straight to Wei Wei's horse, hugged his fists and said, "Wang An welcomes the distinguished guests on the orders of the family teacher. Wei Wei and the others also dismounted and saluted in return.

Wang An said: "The rules of the temple, if it is not for the sacrificial livestock, it is not allowed to approach, I am afraid that it will collide with Guan Kou Erlang, and the horses ridden by the distinguished guests from afar can be temporarily stored in the village farmer's house." ”

In the heavy cavalry battle in the north, Wang Gui and other cadres of the army were all people who cherished horses like their lives, and they wanted to turn their faces when they heard this, but Wei Wei replied safely: "Very good, thank you for taking care of the horses for us." The army had to hand over the reins to the villagers who came up to lead the horses, and Yan Shilang kept telling the villagers that his horses had a delicate appetite and should not be left to gnaw weeds.

The group followed Wang An out of the encirclement of the villagers, but Wang An led everyone around the temple, turned around the field three times and two times, and walked towards an ordinary simple farmhouse.

Wu Yingying said curiously: "Could it be that Zhang Qibo doesn't live in the temple?"

Wang An looked back and smiled: "In the favor of all the villagers, the family teacher only serves as a prayer during the sacrifice, and picks tea and farms on weekdays, which is no different from ordinary farmers. As he spoke, he stooped down and walked into the farmhouse, and after a while he came out to beckon everyone into the house.

Wei Wei and the others bent down into the farmhouse, and saw a middle-aged man with an honest face standing in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Welcome to the distinguished guests from afar." At his feet was a half-knitted tea basket.

Wei Wei arched his hand and said: "The commander of the Tuhun Army of the Northern Han Dynasty sent Wei Wei to Shuzhong on the order of the emperor and met Zhang Qibo. He ordered his subordinates to come up and salute.

Zhang Qibo waved his hand again and again and said: "I can't help it, Zhang Alang is just a tea maker at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, and he can't afford to be a big gift from the generals." While letting Wang An go to the back room, there were a few more benches for everyone to sit down one by one.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Alang said: "What you mean from afar, Alang understands. The previous Han lord also said that when the Song people attacked the Han, I hope that the people of Shu will rise up in righteousness. He glanced at the apprentice next to him, and said: "You also know that after the Song people pacified Shu, they still regarded the Shu people as enemy countries, exploited and gathered all kinds of things, seized our warm clothes, food in our mouths, filled the treasury of Kaifeng, seized our children, and satisfied the desires of adults, and really regarded our Shu people as pigs and dogs. Speaking of this, his tone was extremely sad and indignant, and he only heard the sound of "ping-pong", and Wang An, who seemed to be gentle and polite just now, smashed his fist on the low table.

Zhang Alang changed his words and continued: "However, if I want to take the lead, it is difficult to obey my fate. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Kui's face was still as usual, but Wang An couldn't hold it anymore and shouted, "Master!"

Zhang Alang glared at him and said to Wei Wei: "The corner of the Han Kingdom and the Central Plains have been fighting for decades, and we all admire it. It's just that the fathers and elders of Shu don't practice soldiers all year round, and if they are allowed to rush into a column and fight with the foreign army of tigers and wolves, it is tantamount to taking them to death. Six years ago, when General Quan rebelled, I also led thousands of able-bodied villagers to participate, and at the beginning I really caught the Song army by surprise, winning several big victories in a row. But once the Song army stabilized its position and saw us as an adversary to be taken seriously, it was nothing short of a one-sided massacre. ”

Zhang Alang took a deep look at Wang An, who was blushing next to him, and sighed: "Because I am fair, and all the offerings to Erlang are not greedy, the villagers trust me and let me serve as the main priest of Erlang Divine Monarch." They believe that Erlang Shenjun can bless the wind and rain every year, and everyone lives a peaceful life, I can't know that there is a dead end ahead, and let the villagers who trust me go to death. After speaking, he bowed his hand to Wei Wei again, and said apologetically: "Zhang Alang has no talent and little virtue, let General Wei run for nothing." ”

Wei Wei hugged his fists and said: "The villagers here are blessed by Erlang Shenjun, which is their blessing. We are all hard-hearted people who have fought in battle formations, even if we collide with Song Guo as powders, we must let the Central Plains officials rein in one or two!"

Volume 1: The North Wind Gradually Becomes Uneven, Chapter 6 is as good as water

Zhang Alang also stood up and thanked him: "May Erlang God Bless the General, and please understand that it is not easy for the people in the world." ”

Although they failed to achieve their mission, the people of the Northern Han Dynasty were moved by the compassion and compassion revealed by Zhang Alang's words. Wei Wei waved his hand for Song Wende to take out the twenty gold ingots wrapped around his waist, and said, "These money and mundane things, please ask Zhang Qibo to worship Erlang Shenjun on our behalf." Zhang Alang didn't shirk, let Wang An accept it, and said: "It just so happens that tonight I am going to do a ritual, and ask Erlang Shenjun to bless the autumn harvest smoothly, and the general is willing to leave after watching the ceremony?"

Wei Wei knew that the invitation to participate in the ceremony of sacrificing Erlang Shenjun was to entertain himself and others as friends, so he did not shirk and said with a smile: "I don't dare to invite you if I want to." ”

Because according to the rules, the sacrifice needs to be carried out after dark, and there are many things to be prepared in advance at this time, so Zhang Alang asked his apprentice Wang An to sit with him, and called a drooping boy to serve tea to the people of the Northern Han Dynasty, and brought two apprentices to arrange the matters needed for the evening sacrifice.

Seeing that the people of the Northern Han Dynasty were in the spirit of peace and security, the little boy who served the tea brought the boiled tea soup, first to Wei Wei, and then to Song Wende, Wang Gui, Wu Yingying and others, everyone saw that although he was young, he made the master and slave of the guests quite clear, and his expression was also very quiet, not like a country boy who had never seen the world, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Wang Gui took his tea and asked with a smile: "I think this little baby is good, what's his name?"

Before the boy could speak, Wang An replied first: "This is my little junior brother, named Cai Shun, Muzi Cai, and Shun of Yao Shun." ”

Wu Yingying only felt that this name was very familiar, and then he smiled dumbly, in this world, where did he have any acquaintances, but despite this, he also took out a small string of copper coins from his arms, smiled kindly at the boy, and said to Wang An: "I have a few copper coins here, buy candy for your junior brother to eat." Then he handed it to the child.

The boy didn't answer first, and after seeing Wang An nodding, he took it.

This move seems to have narrowed the psychological distance with Wang An, although Wang An has seen a lot of the world with his master, but he also knows that Wei Qi and others are many higher officials and nobles than the state and county officials, and it is the first time they have seen it, so they can't help but still be a little restrained. At present, the general Wei Wei's temperament does not seem to be evil, and his subordinates such as Wang Gui and Wu Yingying are also kind and pleasant, which is different from the faces of those ordinary officials, and they can't help but relax a little. After he took his junior brother to thank Wu Yingying, he sighed: "The first lord of the country was a benevolent political country, Shuzhong was originally the country of abundance, and life was extremely comfortable. ”

The people of the Northern Han Dynasty immediately thought of the plundering of the Northern Han by the Song State, and felt empathy, and they couldn't help but feel hostile in their hearts. Only Wei Wei looked at this disciple named Wang An, and felt that he was completely different from Zhang Alang, if Zhang Alang was a deep spring that moistened the people, this Wang An seemed to be a long-suppressed volcano. It seems that Zhang Alang plans to let Wang An be his heir, I don't know if he can gradually cut off Wang An's anger in his lifetime, but this person is a usable material for the Northern Han Dynasty.

So Wei Wei put down the black pottery tea bowl and said to Wang An: "What Zhang Qibo said is reasonable, but if the Song people are allowed to be so prey-dwelling people, I am afraid that they will gain more inches, and I am afraid that the people will be even more miserable." After speaking, he gave Song Wende, Wang Gui and others a look.

Wu Yingying was stunned for a moment, but Song Wende immediately understood, and said: "My country is far to the north, and the Khitan, Song and other powerful countries are neighbors, almost all the time without fighting, although there have been many casualties over the years, but it has finally made the enemy understand that we are not lambs who can be captured." ”
