"What is a pity?" Wu Yingying asked with interest.

Wang Yu also took the wine and drank, and continued: "It's a pity that he is too afraid of the Khitan, and he has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, but he plans to redeem the sixteen states of Yanyun, and he loses his pride first, and he is not a hero." ”

Wu Yingying secretly said in his heart that your courage is not small, you dare to talk about your boss like this, but he became more and more interested, picked up a glass of wine and said: "The famous generals in the Song army include Cao Bin and Pan Mei, who have attacked countless cities and plundered countless lands, can they be called heroes?"

Wang Yu put down his wine glass and said proudly: "It's just some eagle dogs, how can they be considered heroes?"

Wu Yingying smiled: "Then according to what Brother Wang has seen, the heroes of the world, it shouldn't be you and me, right?"

Wang Yu also smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said slowly: "Back then, Zhou Shizong took Jianghuai in the south, Yanyun in the north, the world was in the palm of his hand, the Han and Tang dynasties could be expected, and he was called a hero. ”

"In today's world, I know that a person has great ambitions, good intentions, and can win the hearts of people, but unfortunately, this person is not in the Central Plains. ”

"Oh, could it be a Khitan person, a party member?" Wu Yingying said.

"That's not it, this person is a Han'er, named Han Derang, the son of the King of Qin in the Liao State, and the official residence of the Zhangde Army. Wang Yu saw Wu Yingying's eyes wide open and looked incredulous, and said with a smile: "This person has a very prominent reputation among the Han people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but the people of the Central Plains are not familiar with it. ”

"Then this son can be called a hero?" Wu Yingying asked.

"It's not called yet," Wang Yu seemed to be a little regretful, "the carp leaps over the dragon gate and becomes a dragon, and the worm turns into a butterfly after breaking the pupa . The Liao State has always been suspicious of the Han people, and I don't know if this person can seize the opportunity to soar into the sky. ”

"Then besides this person, who else can be called a hero in Brother Wang's mind?" Wu Yingying drank a glass of wine and asked again.

"The party Xiang Tuoba clan is Xianbei remnants, occupying Xia, Sui, Yin, You, Jing five states for nearly three hundred years, has long become a country of its own, the current patriarch Xia Zhou Dingyan military festival so that Cai Jiyun is a mediocre person is not worried, he has a young son quite talented, now the year is not weak crown, in the clan has many people support, given time, may not become a hero. ”

"Oh," Wu Yingying said with a smile, "going around and around, it turns out that in the eyes of Brother Wang, there are no heroes in the world." ”

Wang Yu laughed and said: "That's right, there is no hero at the time, so the erector became famous." He approached Wu Yingying, and whispered in a somewhat ambiguous and mysterious voice: "Brother Wu, you are well-versed in everything and can win the hearts of the military. ”

Wu Yingying knocked over his wine glass and said, "Trouble comes from the mouth, I think you are Xi Deng's dragon technique." The two laughed together, and for a long time, they staggered back to the room to rest.

When he woke up the next day, Wu Yingying intended to go to Wang Yuchu to visit. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, never mentioning yesterday's events, because there was no one to cook in the house, Wu Yingying took Wang Yu to a restaurant opened by Hu people in Qingxi Fang to eat. Since he made the Jinling Beacon Envoy, Wu Yingying's waist bag is quite thick, and he is a frequent customer here, and the specialty of this store is camel hoof soup and deer tail sauce, plus a large plate of Hu cakes, a large plate of melons and fruits, and Wang Yu and Wang Yu enjoyed the orchid dance in the store while tasting the wine.

Wang Yu's eyes stared at Hu Ji's chest in a daze, and he sighed: "I pressed the army against the border, and this Jinling city is so singing and dancing, I know the decline of the last days." ”

Wu Yingying snorted and said with a smile: "There is a saying that you pick up a bowl and eat meat, put down your chopsticks and scold your mother." It's about people like Brother Wang. ”

Wang Yu didn't think it was angry, his eyes had moved down to Hu Ji's buttocks, and asked: "Everyone in the neighborhood said that the previous dynasty was too heavy, so it caused the Anshi Rebellion and died in the country, does Brother Wu think so?"

Wu Yingying added a piece of roasted mutton and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "The rise and fall of the country is such a big thing, how can you be arrogant." There were many misdeeds in the previous dynasty, such as the internal and external mistakes, and the internal turmoil of eunuchs and eunuchs, which could not be covered up by a reckless anger. ”

Before Wang Yu could answer, a person came over next to him: "Amitabha, Master Wu Shizhu is very true, all living beings are equal, how can there be a difference between Hu and Han." "But that day, I met the elders of Qingliang Temple in the palace who prayed for the blessing of the Great Zhou Queen.

Wang Yu smiled and said, "It turned out to be you, did you remember to pay me back the money?"

The monk was not alarmed, and folded his hands and said, "I'm afraid that the king benefactor has recognized the wrong person, and the poor monk has never made a fortune to the donor." ”

Wang Yu grabbed his sleeve and said, "It's either you or your fellow disciple and brother, you bring them all over for me to identify, and naturally you will be innocent." ”

At this time, the guest in the shop, Wang Yu and the monk pulled together, and they all looked sideways, and Wu Yingying hurriedly said: "Brother Wang, I think you have indeed recognized the wrong person." The little elder is a famous monk in Jinling City, how could he cheat you out of money. At the same time, he pulled both of them to sit down. It's just that the monk saw that the table was full of meat and vegetables, and he didn't want to stay for a long time, so he recited Amitabha Buddha a few times and left, leaving Wang Yu alone and humming there. Wu Yingying stood up and wanted to pay and leave, but the guy who heard the sound said with a smile on his face: "The boss ordered that the wine and dinner money of the two big officials be exempted." ”

Wu Yingying smiled: "Thank you for the kindness of your boss, as a Jinling beacon envoy, I can't afford not to pay for this meal." ”

The guy waved his hand again and again and said: "I can't help it, I have received the money from the officials of Wu this time, but I am afraid that the little one will immediately go home to farm." The big officials behaved well at that time, so let's enjoy the food. ”

Wu Yingying was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, how could this shopkeeper be so arrogant, and it was inconvenient to embarrass the guy, and said with a smile: "And find your master, and I'll talk to him." ”

The man went down, and after a while, he brought a bearded man, about forty or fifty years old, with a high nose and deep eyes, a gray beard, wearing a tight-fitting and narrow-sleeved beard, covered with a white silk robe, and a gold belt with ten thousand nails wrapped around his waist, with a lot of jewelry tied on it, and a rhino horn scimitar, and greeted him in a proficient Chinese dialect: "Two big officials came to our store, so that I Peng Shenshi, just now the wine and rice was too simple to snub the distinguished guests, another day I Kang Qu Dagan big feast, but also invite the two big officials to appreciate the light." ”

Since the Tang Dynasty, many wealthy Hu merchants settled in China, and the rebellion of the Five Dynasties caused them to flee the north, and many came to the relatively stable Jiangnan, this Kangqu Dagan was one of them, he was mainly engaged in maritime trade, and also purchased a lot of industries in Jinling and Guangzhou, and this restaurant was where he feasted some officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty in Jinling City.

Wu Yingying smiled and said, "Thank you boss for your kindness, but I can't afford not to pay for this meal." As he spoke, he took out the money and put it on the table.

Hearing this, Kang Qu Dagan's face changed, and he grabbed the silver money and stuffed it into Wu Yingying's hand and said, "I treat you as a distinguished guest, and if you insist on paying, you will look down on us Sogdians." ”

Wu Yingying had no choice but to put the money back in his arms and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Kang Quda laughed and said, "That's right," led the two to the inner Accord, stretched out his hand to greet the dancing orchid just now, pointed to Wu Yingying and Wang Yu and said, "Kang Lisi, come and see the two big officials." ”
