Listening to the foul language from the collar of his subordinates, the purple-robed man in the middle frowned slightly, and looked at the purple-robed old man beside him with inquiring eyes, and the purple-robed old man motioned to the rather depressed general opposite to ask, this person first raised his hand to silence the generals below, and then asked: "Where are you all businessmen, running around the rivers and lakes, what kind of business are you doing?"

Before Wu Yingying could speak, Liu Jing preemptively said: "General Qiyu, my lords, Xiaomin is a Jiangling clan, and he travels to and from the river all year round, selling more Jiangnan tea to Shuzhong in exchange for silver money. After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall was noncommittal, so all the merchants told Wu one by one about their origins and the materials they trafficked, and when it was Wu Yingying's turn, he bowed down and said: "Xiaomin Chengdu Furen, this time I went down the river, I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River to sell some incense and medicine back." ”

After Wu Yingying finished speaking, before the general could speak, the man in the hall let out an "oh" and sighed: "It is actually selling incense medicine, and after the Song people looted, the Shu people can still enjoy the glory in such peace." There was a lot of emotion in his expression.

"Otherwise," Wu Yingying continued: "Since the Song people entered Shu, the treasury has been put into Kaifeng, and the officials have scraped the ground three feet, especially enough, how can ordinary people in Shu afford incense." ”

"Oh, who are you selling it to?"

"Recently, all industries in Shuzhong have withered, only Qinlou Chu Lane, Water Pavilion and Lan Pavilion are full of warblers singing and dancing, so the small ones don't worry about where to go. Wu Yingying bowed down and replied, he thought very clearly, the more war-torn times like this, people often believe that there is wine in the present and drunk in the future, and the demand for luxury goods such as incense medicine is getting stronger and stronger, and the officials do not know much about these special goods, so it is easy to get through the customs.

"Huh?" The man in the hall was dumbfounded for a long time when he heard this, and then sighed: "It's really a merchant girl who doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river." All the people were silent.

"Not really. As soon as Wu Yingying's words came out, he immediately regretted that he wanted to slap himself in the mouth, and after listening to this sentence, he remembered some of the comments he had often seen in later generations, and in his relaxed mood after satisfactorily answering the interrogation, he actually picked up the conversation casually.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, several people sitting on the left and right shouted in unison: "Bold." But the middle-aged man in the hall waved his hand and said, "You are not like an ordinary peddler.

Wu Yingying hurriedly said: "The small people are abrupt, and I hope that all the adults will forgive their sins." ”

The Scarface general, who was the penultimate on the left, reprimanded: "If you say it, you just said that you were bold just now, why did you shrink back to be a turtle now?"

Wu Yingying had to say: "Although Shu is said to be rich, but the rich have thousands of acres of land, and the poor have no place to live, since the Song army entered Shu, most of the prefectures and counties were ruined, and the original Shu land of the official gentry and rich households had countless people copied their property, and the people sold more children and daughters in order to have food and clothing. Those daughters enter the green building, if they force their faces to laugh and please their benefactors, they can also prolong their lives, if they are a little dark, they will suffer from skin and flesh, and they will be sold as prostitutes. Speaking of this, Wu Yingying paused slightly, peeked at the one above, and saw that he frowned deeply between his eyebrows, and he had a sympathetic look, so he continued: "It is the responsibility of the small people to think that the family and country are broken, and it is the responsibility of the manly husband, and the women and children are mostly victimized, so there is no need to be harsh." ”

"Yes," the man in the middle of the head nodded slightly, looked at Wu Yingying's eyes with a more warm look, and asked, "You are very good at talking, is there anything else to say?"

Wu Yingying hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Xiaomin is also impressed, when I was in Chengdu, I heard someone reciting a poem by Mrs. Hua Rui, and I didn't dare to pollute the adults to listen to it." ”

"Oh, I didn't expect to meet a gentleman today, you can tell me about it. The one in the middle was full of interest as soon as he heard the poem, and the sadness in his expression just now actually faded a lot.

Wu Yingying didn't dare to raise his head, and said slowly: "The flag is erected at the head of the king's city, how can the concubine know in the deep palace." 140,000 people were disarmed, and not a single man was a man. ”

For a while, the people present opened their mouths, and the general sitting on the left was even more pale, and after a while, the person in the middle clapped his hands and sighed: "Good poetry, good poetry, this lady is not only famous, but also has the courage to make poetry." ”

He turned his head to the general on the left and said meaningfully: "General Huangfu, although the Song State has excellent soldiers and horses, if the children of Jiangdong work together and add the natural danger of the Yangtze River, it may not be impossible to protect this half of the country." ”

When the general Huangfu heard this, he immediately knelt down and said: "The lord of the country is serious, even if Jixun is full of liver and brain, he must be loyal to the country." ”

Wu Yingying was even more shocked when he heard this, originally he had some thoughts in his heart, but he was afraid that he bumped into the magnates in the Southern Tang Dynasty who were patrolling the river, who knew that he had met Cai Yu, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who claimed to be the lord of Jiangnan, this is the famous emperor of words, if he knew that it was him in person, Wu Yingying did not dare to take the lamentation poem of Mrs. Hua Rui out to show ugliness, however, it seems that history only records that Cai Yu panicked when Jinling was besieged, and it is not recorded that he actually personally inspected the river defense. Thinking of this, Wu Yingying couldn't help but raise his head again, carefully looking at Cai Yu, the descendant of Cai Yu, who was known as the Emperor of Ancient Words.

Cai Yu couldn't help but be happy when he saw that the Shenwei Commanders, who usually seemed to be afraid of the Song army, commanded Huangfu Jixun, and looked down at Wu Yingying, who was standing below, and suddenly said: "Looking at your words, you don't look like that ordinary trader, what is your identity, why don't you come from the truth?"

Listening to Cai Yu's straightforward question, Wu Yingying's heart said that the IQ of the Emperor of the Sect was not covered, no matter how embarrassed he was in his heart, he had to make a big salute again, and said in a deep voice: "Minister, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, the commander of the Tuhun Army, under the command of Lord Wei Wei, the Marquis of Yu, Wu Yingying, met with the lord of Jiangnan." ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire cabin was as silent as if the air had been drained, not only did the Southern Tang Junchen not expect to meet the Northern Han envoy under such circumstances, but also Liu Jing and other businessmen who had been with him did not expect that Wu Yingying, who had been with him for a long time, would have such an identity. In the end, it was Cai Yu who broke the silence and said, "Wu Yingying, you claim to be an envoy from the Han Kingdom, do you have any credentials?"

Wu Yingying replied: "Commander Wei handed over the letter of state proving the identity of the envoy to the last general, and along the way, in order to avoid the search of the Song army, I hid the wax pill in the hair bun of the boy who came with me, and His Majesty can send a soldier to pick it up with me, and it can be submitted for review in a moment." ”

When Cai Yu heard this, he looked around left and right for a moment, and then asked the four soldiers to accompany Wu Yingying to get the national credentials. After Wu Yingying walked out of the cabin, several businessmen were also taken down, and Cai Yu said to the old man on the right: "Wu Fuzheng, I see that this Wu Yingying's words don't seem to be fake, but now if he is really an envoy of the Northern Han Dynasty, how should he treat each other?"

The old man said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, from the Zhou to the Song Dynasty, the northern country has been marching to the south, and now it is in Jiangling to build ships and train sailors, and it is obvious that it will provoke war again in the near future. In the past, Xu Xiang persuaded the northern country, saying that my Jiangnan is as big as a son and a father, but Zhao actually said that father and son can separate. In the opinion of the old minister, the strength of the country is like feeding wolves with meat, and the Khitans are cunning and untrustworthy. ”

Wu Xiang's statement is ridiculous. A green-robed official sitting at the bottom said, "The Northern Han and the Song Dynasty are feuds, since our country has already claimed to be subordinate to the Song Dynasty, and then married the Northern Han Dynasty, isn't it untrustworthy, and is subject to the handle, if it angers the Northern Kingdom, how to resist the pressure of the soldiers." ”

"The GIs have long been overwhelmed. The scar-faced general at the bottom of the left said in a loud voice: "The Song army has 100,000 troops in Jiangbei, and the Jiangling Navy Division can go to Ezhou every day, and the Wankou garrison camp is intended to make my Hukou and Jinling Wang's division unable to take care of each other, and the rich king will help to abuse each other, once there is something in the northwest, there will be Wu Yue soldiers who will attack Jinling." If you don't get reinforcements early, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the northern soldiers. ”

"It's really a villain. The blue-robed official who spoke earlier disdainfully interrupted the general's speech, and said to Cai Yujin: "The lord of the country, the friendship between the country and the country, must be faithful, and must not betray the alliance with the great powers first, and form unforeseen disasters." ”

Zhang Limo made this misleading remark again. Wu Qiao, the assistant politician, said angrily: "A gentleman can be bullied, and the soldiers are treacherous, and they can stick to faith." ”

Cai Yu looked at the officials on the left and right again, but no one dared to speak out and couldn't help sighing: "140,000 people are disarmed, and none of them are men." Lonely can't let a female stream look down on it. After speaking, he stood up with a long voice, stretched out his hand to take the sword of the Son of Heaven handed by the waiter behind him, slashed a few cases in front of him, cut out a deep groove, and said loudly: "The will has been decided, if the Song people cross the river to attack, they will definitely fight with them to the end." ”

After drawing his sword and sitting down, he said: "What Zhang Yushi said is not unreasonable, the country should win the trust of the world, if it is connected to the Northern Han Dynasty, it will inevitably seem that I have no faith in the south of the Yangtze River." But I think that Wu Hero is a talent, Wei Qi is known as a good general, a soldier of the Tuhun Northern Kingdom, he can not only do the Tuhun army Yuhou, must have some ability, but it is even more rare to have both civil and military skills, now is the time to employ people, I want to leave him, Wu Xiang, what do you think?"
