Chapter 53: Suddenly heard that there was a storm in Hezhou
"Ruthless!"
Looking at Yao Ruoyu, who was talking and laughing, the man in front of Xu Jingmiao was silent for a long time, and then suddenly sighed softly.
"That's also the way for this person to die!" smiled and looked at Hou Wentao, whose face was like ashes, Xu Jingmiao shook his head lightly.
Smiling, the man said softly, "Is it because he is interested in Master Cao?"
Her face sank, Xu Jingmiao glanced at the man lightly, and suddenly chuckled: "Bai Qiuyu, you have gone too far!"
"Is it because you said what the Commander-in-Chief was thinking?" The man named Bai Qiuyu smiled, bowed lightly to apologize, and then said curiously, "By the way, what are you inviting him for? You should be able to see that this person has no intention of participating in this kind of activity." ”
Sighing, Xu Jingmiao smiled bitterly: "It's really just to make friends with this person, after all, what he thinks can be called a maverick, and he also wants to have more communication with him, but I never imagined that he, who was gentle and introverted before, would behave so flamboyantly." ”
Glancing at Yao Ruoyu thoughtfully, Bai Qiuyu wondered, "Is it a disguise?"
Shaking her head, Xu Jingmiao replied: "Impossible, I see that people's abilities are not weak, and I can't see the slightest disguise and hypocrisy in him." ”
Smiling and twisting his long beard, Bai Qiuyu said with interest: "Then you might as well go over and test the temptation?"
Xu Jingmiao was stunned when he heard this, then smiled, and said, "Good idea!" After speaking, he walked towards Yao Ruoyu.
At this time, Yao Ruoyu was chatting with Fu Feng, after all, although he won the debate against Hou Wentao, everyone also saw that he was unruly, and they naturally did not want to contact him, so they all avoided it.
Seeing Xu Jingmiao coming, Yao Ruoyu hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief." ”
Xu Jingmiao smiled and said softly, "Brother Yao, just ...... Is it too harsh?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Yao Ruoyu chuckled and said, "Then dare to ask the Commander-in-Chief, what will happen to him if that person has the upper hand?"
Xu Jingmiao was stunned when she heard this, and then heard Yao Ruo smile foolishly: "He will spare no effort to laugh at me and reprimand me, so as to show his noble image, and by the way, he may also dedicate his courtesy ...... with Master Cao."
Seeing Cao Yuying, who was standing behind Xu Jingmiao, raised her eyebrows, Yao Ruoyu quickly changed the topic and said with a smile: "But the Commander-in-Chief shouldn't have come to discuss such a trivial matter with me, right?"
After approaching, Bai Qiuyu had been standing beside Xu Jingmiao and was silent with a smile, just looking at Yao Ruoyu, Fu Feng, and Wu Xue, until this moment, he suddenly spoke: "I am still a little curious about the topic just now, and I want to ask Brother Yao for a question or two." ”
Glancing at him, Yao Ruoyu bowed his head and said, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
"White autumn rain in Xiahezhou. Bai Qiuyu rolled up his sleeves and bowed calmly.
"Hezhou?" Yao Ruoyu's eyes lit up suddenly, not only him, but Fu Feng, who was sitting on one side, and Wu Xue, who was looking for an opportunity to break the ice and rush out, also looked at Bai Qiuyu with an excited expression.
Bai Qiuyu was stunned when he saw this, and said in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing...... smiling and touching his nose, Yao Ruoyu looked at Bai Qiuyu thoughtfully, and then asked, "Brother Bai just said that he wanted to communicate with him about the question just now?"
Seeing Yao Ruoyu change "ask for advice" to "communicate", Bai Qiuyu and Xu Jingmiao couldn't help but exchange glances, and then Bai Qiuyu muttered: "The so-called those who have attained the Tao have more help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, this is a famous saying that has been passed down since ancient times, but according to what Brother Yao said before, it seems that there is no committality about it!"
Because Bai Qiuyu's words were polite, Yao Ruoyu naturally didn't have the unruly posture he had before, so he could only stand calmly, and then replied in a deep voice: "That's it, it's better for Yao to tell a story." ”
Xu Jingmiao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Listen up." ”
"In ancient times, someone painted a painting and thought it was almost perfect, in order to show off, he deliberately took this painting to the downtown area, left the painting and the pen there, and left a message saying that if someone is not satisfied with the painting, they can circle it with a pen and write down the reason.
Hearing this, Fu Feng and Wu Xue had already shown disdainful looks, but Xu Jingmiao, Bai Qiuyu, Cao Yuying and the others were attentive and listened very carefully.
When he returned to the downtown in the evening, he saw that his painting was full of circles, all of which were criticisms, so angry that the painter tore the painting to shreds on the spot and returned home angrily," seeing that they listened attentively, Yao Ruoyu smiled, "For the next few days, the painter was immersed in anger, until one day he suddenly figured it ......out."
"What have you figured out?" Bai Qiuyu said curiously.
Smiling and waving his hand, Yao Ruoyu continued: "The painter repainted the painting that was torn up before, and rushed to the downtown with the painting and pen for the second time, but this time his message was ...... I hope that everyone will circle the areas that are satisfied with this painting. ”
Hearing this, Xu Jingmiao, Bai Qiuyu, and Cao Yuying all showed thoughtful looks, but Xu Kuanhong didn't understand, scratched his scalp, and said blankly: "So what?"
Seeing that Xu Jingmiao and the others all looked silent, Yao Ruoyu smiled unconsciously: "I think everyone has already understood, yes, when he returns to the downtown area, the painting is also full of circles of praise, this story tells us that no one can make everyone like, so life is short, it's enough to be yourself, why care about other people's opinions?"
"Okay! Well said!" Hearing this, Bai Qiuyu unconsciously stroked his palm and smiled, and said with his head bowed, "Brother Yao, this story has never been heard of by someone Bai, I don't know where it came from?"
"I heard about it by chance while wandering, and to be honest, I forgot where it came from. Originally, he wanted to take this matter on himself, but seeing Fu Feng and Wu Xue's contemptuous eyes, Yao Ruoyu could only shirk this credit with a dry smile.
After the matter was revealed, everyone didn't have the heart to fight any more tricks, so they simply chatted.
After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Yao Ruoyu pretended to smile unintentionally: "Brother Bai, I heard that you are from Hezhou before, I don't know what the terroir is like there, is there a suitable place to play?"
"Play?" Bai Qiuyu's smile stiffened, then he rubbed his cheeks a little weakly, and said with a wry smile, "If it weren't for the fact that I had said before, you have traveled all year round and don't hear about the court, Bai would really think that Brother Yao was making fun of me." ”
Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said curiously: "Where do you start with this?"
"Hezhou City, like Fuling City, is located at the junction of Song and Jin, and has been disturbed by war all year round," smiled and glanced at Yao Ruoyu, who was instantly embarrassed, Xu Jingmiao said, "I didn't expect that Brother Yao could show such a look today, which can be regarded as a feat!"
Thinking that he had gone to ask a city that had been plagued by war all the year round if there was a place for tourism and enjoyment, Yao Ruoyu suddenly felt his cheeks flush, and felt so embarrassed for the first time, he almost didn't cover his face directly, and then brushed his sleeves away.
"I left Hezhou before the second half of the year and went on a long trip, when Hezhou had just quelled the war, but Jin Guo supported a group of thieves before leaving, and the leader was also a big Kou in Jin Guo, and I don't know how Hezhou has happened in the past six months. In the end, Bai Qiuyu's face also became a little complicated.
Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but show surprise, listening to what Bai Qiuyu said, it seems that the current situation in Hezhou is not very good!
Fu Feng frowned and said curiously: "Isn't Hezhou the territory of our Song Dynasty?
It was naturally okay for him to say this in private, but when he said it in front of Xu Jingmiao, the Chongqing commander-in-chief, it was a bit of a slap in the face, and suddenly Yao Ruoyu pulled him awkwardly and stopped this guy from continuing to complain.
Xu Jingmiao didn't care, and sighed: "This matter is indeed Xu Mou's failure to do his duty, but although Hezhou is nominally the territory of my Song Dynasty, because it is located on the border between the two countries, and there are Liao, Xixia, Dali and other national remnants entrenched around, the internal forces are complex, and it is really difficult to interfere." ”
Touching his chin, Yao Ruoyu glanced at Fu Feng thoughtfully, and it happened that the latter also looked over, and immediately both of them laughed, because they both saw strong interest in each other's eyes.
"Brother Bai, why don't you say a few more words, I'm quite interested there?" Laughing and holding Bai Qiuyu, Yao Ruoyu quickly picked up the wine glass with his other hand, and Fu Feng took the opportunity to lift the wine jug to help pour the wine, and then looked at Bai Qiuyu with a smile.
Seeing the respectful appearance of the two, Bai Qiuyu was startled, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Yao, Brother Fu, why do you need to be like this? If you want to ask, Bai will naturally know everything......
Click......
Just as everyone was talking, there was a sudden sound of ice breaking on one side, and suddenly Yao Ruoyu had a bad heart, so he quickly turned around and condensed his spiritual power, and conjured up an ice shield standing behind him, and then a fireball fell fiercely on the ice shield, exploding countless fire chips.
"Haha, I didn't hit it!" As soon as he blocked Wu Xue's fireball, Yao Ruoyu laughed with a sneer.
Wu Xue, who had been frozen for half an hour, was about to go crazy, and she was about to pounce on Yao Ruoyu with her teeth and claws.
Fortunately, Fu Feng reacted quickly enough, and quickly grabbed her, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yao seems to have three realms and six folds." ”
Thinking that he was only three realms and one heavy, Wu Xue wisely withdrew her hand, and then stepped on Yao Ruoyu's feet and twisted it fiercely.
Seeing that Yao Ruoyu's face instantly turned like a pig's liver, Cao Yuying, who had changed her face several times in a row because of the title "director", didn't feel a little happy, and then took advantage of Yao Ruoyu's attack to pull Wu Xue over, and whispered a few words to her with a smile, and then the two of them held hands and turned around and left together.
Watching the two leave, Yao Ruoyu, who was enduring the severe pain, sighed to Xu Jingmiao with some tears and laughter: "Sure enough...... Girls' friendships are all built on the basis of ravaging men!"
