Wu Yingying's heart was hot, and he held the sword on his waist and said, "If Brother Hu needs it, I can come up with my own soldiers to help the city guard at any time." ”

Hu Ze smiled and waved his hand, and said: "You are a promising person, you should keep a useful body, and it is natural for you to enter the picture in the future." His words sounded more and more like farewell words to Wu Yingying, so he diverted the topic and said: "Brother Hu is far away, when the Song people retreat, the younger brother will find someone to build a good boat, and you and I will swim in the lake and sea together, wouldn't it be happy!"

Hu Ze smiled: "Okay, but you must bring your sister-in-law, otherwise she will not agree." Hu Ze's wife is the daughter of Jianghuai Jiangmen, and her character is chaste, Hu Ze has always been respectful and fearful, and his brothers in the army often use this as a joke, so he has this self-deprecating remark.

Wu Yingying said: "What's so difficult about this, the younger brother made the boat bigger, Hugh said that it was his sister-in-law, that is, Brother Hu's entire family can be carried together." He hesitated for a moment, and finally tentatively said: "The 200,000 troops of the Song people will block all the paths out of the city at some point, and Brother Hu's family in the city will send the camera out of the city to avoid the burning of jade." ”

Hu Zefang sighed and said: "I am the main general in the city, if I send my wife and children away first, it will be bad for the army." They had to stay in the city. ”

He had such a choice, Wu Yingying had already calculated it in his heart, so he had to say again: "Then if the city is broken, the junior brother should protect Brother Hu's family and break out, and Brother Hu can explain this matter to them in advance." ”

Hu Ze turned his head to stare at Wu Yingying, seeing that there was only concern in his eyes, he smiled and said: "This is very good, my Hu family will not be extinct, and I can be loyal and filial to my brother for my brother." After speaking, he bowed to Wu Yingying. After saluting, he pointed to the stone pit at the head of the city and said: "I don't know what kind of madness the Song people have been suffering from recently, throwing stone bullets into the city all day and night, but the scale of the battle is only a few hundred, which is really hateful." ”

The night was like iron, and the two soldiers looked at the northern sky from afar, and they invariably let out a long sigh.

In order to avoid suspicion, Wu Yingying couldn't stay in the city for long, and had a heart-to-heart conversation with Hu Ze, and the block in his heart also dissipated a lot, and after saying goodbye, he took the palace carriage and horse path back to the house.

In the early morning of the next day, after the early grooming was completed, Wu Yingying put on his robe under the service of two handsome and lovely Jiangnan maidservants. These two maidservants seem to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with half-covered pink breasts, hairpins and hairpins, and narrow sleeves, which tickle Wu Yingying's heart. Wu Yingying has pretended to be a humble gentleman for several days, but in fact, if it weren't for his scruples, Huang Wen would have had eyes and ears in the harem, and would have pushed them down a long time ago. Helpless, seeing the two palace maids retreat with resentful eyes, two more people came up to present various kinds of food such as red silk pies, lamb liver sauce, decoction soup, tea and medicine made by the imperial kitchen, and then knelt on the left and right sides to serve Wu Yingying for dinner.

Since he was robbed of military power, Cai Yu actually sent him eight beautiful and delicious palace maids, as well as a team of dancing girls, and even a royal chef, in the name of it, Wu Qing is too disciplined, and he should be praised for his romance, in fact, it is implied that since Wu Yingying can write poetry, he should not always think about regaining military power, and be a suave civil servant with peace of mind. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a symbol that Wu Yingying has not fallen out of favor although he has lost his military power, but the errand of the Beacon Fire Envoy Yamen has appointed another civil official to be the secretary, which is equivalent to setting Wu Hero in the air.

After the morning meal, Chase came up and asked cautiously: "My lord, when will the spy who was escorted to the Yamen of the Beacon Fire Envoy last night be interrogated?"

Wu Yingying then remembered that there was still such a thing, frowned and thought about it, and said, "I'll take a few people to meet this uninvited guest first." You stay in the house, there is an important business that needs a brother who is familiar with the sea routes, and you can help me to keep an eye on whether there are such people among the soldiers, and report it when I return. ”

Chase agreed and went to ask the soldiers one by one, and Wu Yingying took Yu Xi and the other four to the Beacon Envoy Yamen.

Although Wu Yingying is no longer in the Yazhong on weekdays, the official title of Jinling Beacon Envoy has not been removed, and everyone knows that Cai Yu is particularly important to Wu Yingying for some reason, even if the rumors about his Song people have spread to the streets, and he also rewards palace maids and imperial chefs, and his grace is still better than in the past. Last night, Wu Yingying actually entered the palace after entering the palace after being among the three phases, and was also inquired about by the beacon fire to the yamen, so it was a great honor for his top boss above the name to come to see the matter in person, when Wu Yingying mentioned that he wanted to interrogate the spy sent last night, the official who received him immediately said that he had already been detained in the strictest number for the spy sent by the beacon fire envoy Yamen, and the brothers had taught him a lot of prison rules last night.

Wu Yingying could only cry and laugh after hearing this, in order to invite his own favor, these officials made the messenger from Jiangbei suffer a lot, if it was an ordinary work, it was just a pity, and it was a pity to meet a person close to Cao Bin and other generals.

Just thinking about it while coming to the prison, when the jailer shook the key to open the prison door, Wu Yingying noticed that the person curled up inside and shivered subconsciously, it seems that he really bullied this cell boss last night, and he felt a little sorry for this person to be imprisoned for no reason. He motioned for the jailer to take the prisoner to the interrogation room set up in the prison and gave him some water, and Wu Yingying patiently waited for the messenger to finish the water tremblingly, and he was panting for breath before questioning.

The lights in the prison were dim, and Wu Yingying only felt that the man was a little kind, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this person.

Seeing that this person was cowering, it was probably not a hard bone, Wu Yingying didn't mention who he was, motioned to the jailer to step aside, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Song State Detective, who is your surname? What is the matter of sneaking into Jinling? Quickly recruit from the truth, there is a lie, the master cut off one of your fingers, cut off your toes after the fingers are cut, and cut off the bird-sized thing under your crotch after the toes are cut." He said it in a loud voice, but he was secretly amused in his heart.

The messenger of the Song Kingdom was frightened, he was a relative of Cao Bin, and he was also a commander, and it was not his turn to send a letter to such a dangerous deed, just because every time he entered the city and contacted the messenger of Jinling's important ministers, he was full of filial piety of the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty when he came back, his eyes were hot, and he owed a lot of gambling debts a few days ago, so he did everything possible to find an opportunity to come and go, I thought that Wu Yingying was also a big official who was ranked among the envoys of the festival, and if he wanted to honor himself, he had to at least get a million dollars to go back, who knew that even Wu Yingying's face was thrown into prison before he saw it, and he was beaten half to death by the prison guards last night, the death row inmate next door also threatened to develop his chrysanthemum, which scared him so much that he couldn't sleep.

He scolded fiercely in his heart, you are a southern barbarian, today provoked the master, wait until the day Jinling City is broken, don't kill your whole family, the woman will be raped first and then killed, the master will not be surnamed Cao, but the hero does not eat the loss in front of him, but his face is extremely respectful, and he pinched his throat and said softly: "The adult is angry, the villain's surname is Cao, and the cheap name is Zumeng, who is the nephew of Cao Binjie's envoy." He had just said this when he was beaten last night, how could the jailer believe it, and while shouting, "It's Lord Cao's own nephew", he beat him more and more hard. He saw that Wu Yingying was dressed luxuriously and had a good bearing, not like a pawn who didn't know the high and low, so he immediately explained this relationship to prevent him from being abused and beaten by the Tang people for some reason.

Wu Yingying thought to himself, the more he didn't want to come, this Cao Bin's nephew actually threw himself into prison as soon as they met, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog. There was a smile on his face: "Oh, it turned out to be Cao Jieshuai's nephew, please forgive me and other rough people who don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, come here, quickly get some wine and food for General Cao to suppress the shock." ”

The jailer next to him had seen a lot of the children of such official eunuchs sitting in prison as wine bags and rice bags, and he didn't care about it, so he immediately went out to buy wine and food.

Wu Yingying took the opportunity to ask: "General Cao, did you come to the city this time just to see that Wu Ying? Could it be that Cao Jieshuai has something to bring to this person? The villain is also a pawn under General Cao, can you tell the villain to tell Wu Jiedu?"

Cao Zumeng saw his identity and suppressed the Southern Tang officer in front of him, and his colleagues who entered the city in the past said that the courtiers of the Tang State were afraid of the Northern Dynasty, and they clinged to the relationship as soon as they seized the opportunity, hoping to take refuge in the Northern Dynasty, so he couldn't help but proudly said: "Is this this? You asked Wu Yingying to come to see me in person, give me 100,000 yuan of money, and then give me a gift out of the city, I will naturally tell him." ”

The four pro-soldiers behind Wu Yingying couldn't help but be furious when they heard this, although they knew that the Jiedu envoy was just trying to laugh at this person, but they couldn't help but cluck their teeth, and two of them directly pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife.

Wu Yingying's face did not move, and said with a smile: "The general told the lower official that it was the same, and it also made the lower official a little hard to work there in Wu Jiedu." ”

Cao Zumeng snorted disdainfully in his nose and said: "Jinling City is just around the corner, what are you going to do with the thick legs of the mud bodhisattva, your lord and I are Cao Bin's handsome nephew." As long as you serve me well, it is a hundred times better than following the general. Go and call Wu Yingying to see me?" he was used to being arrogant on weekdays, and this sentence was extremely brisk.
