Dehua City, Xunyang Restaurant outside Jinhua Gate, in the snowy outside, the river breeze slowly blows, and a biting chill rushes straight to the people who are by the river.

However, the Xunyang restaurant is as warm as spring, and there are special heater equipment everywhere in the restaurant. Especially on the third floor of Xunyang Restaurant, the sound of "Zheng Zheng" pipa is like a spring breeze blowing through the heart, as if in the spring season.

The young man in white held the wine glass, drank it all, and the five fingers of his right hand turned, and the wine glass spun rapidly in his slender five fingers.

"It's just not a reckless man in the mountains, it's just a nameless person." The young man replied softly as he twirled with his fingers to the glass. But he didn't look at Nasang Jingxuan. still has a bright smile on his face, but that smile is like sunshine in the snow, which makes people have an inexplicable good impression of him.

Ye Yinfeng and the fat Taoist priest looked at each other and smiled, they also wanted to know the name of the young man in white. Seeing him answer like this, they couldn't help but feel a little lost, and they were also very curious about this mysterious young man. The little fat man Li Congjia didn't even take the chopsticks, but still listened to the sound of the pipa, and was fascinated.

"Brother Sang, why bother to sweep away our interest for that nameless person, come and come, come back and we will drink this cup together." Another of the four sons sitting by the river stood up and said to Nasang Jingxuan. This son's appearance is slightly tougher than that of Nasang Jingxuan, and this person's surname is far away. Like Nasang Jingxuan, he is also the son of another big family in Dehua City. The other two sons of the two who shared the table with them were called the four sons of Dehua.

"Brother Dai, please wait a moment."

Sang Jingxuan responded to that generation of Xiangyuan, and looked at the young man in white, only to see that the young man did not seem to have any fluctuations because of that generation of Xiangyuan's disrespectful words. He tossed the glass on the table and poured another glass of wine, but instead of reaching for it, he just picked up the dish on the table and took a bite. The movements are elegant, and everything seems so natural and casual. After chewing slowly, he took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, revealing his bright and clean smile again. The young man seemed to completely ignore the Sang Gongzi who was still standing beside him, and still took a sip of his wine glass and me. The demeanor is so casual, but elegant, calm but elegant.

Seeing that the white-clothed young man was ignoring his existence, Sang Gongzi's displeased look suddenly appeared on his pale face again, and he said to the white-clothed young man reluctantly: "This brother, does he have a different opinion of our words. The tone is not very polite.

"Gao Jian didn't have it, but he couldn't agree with such ridiculous remarks." The boy said slowly.

"Ridiculous rhetoric," Nasang Gongzi was stunned, he didn't expect that their confidence in Datang would be said to be ridiculous by this person, his pale face couldn't help but sink, and said coldly: "Who is Your Excellency, according to Your Excellency, it seems that there is no confidence in the national strength of my Datang." ”

"I said it below, I'm just a nobody, as for my confidence in Datang, I don't think it should come out of my mouth." The young man felt Sang Gongzi's unkind tone, but he remained silent, and he didn't seem to be annoyed or angry.

"In that case, we would like to hear your opinion." The other three sons sitting near the river also showed displeased expressions when they heard him say this. They all left the table and gathered around the table of the young man in white.

Seeing this, the guests on the third floor stopped talking one after another, and all stretched out their ears to hear what the young man in white would say next. For a while, the third floor of Xunyang Restaurant was quiet, and at this time, the young female luthier who played the pipa also stopped playing and looked at the young man in white with a pair of big watery eyes.

The little fat man Li Congjia saw that the young female pianist stopped playing, and suddenly felt bored, and at this time he also discovered the abnormality here. He hurriedly inquired about the fat Taoist priest and Ye Yinfeng, but the two of them ignored him, and also looked at the young man in white, waiting for his words.

The white-clothed young man didn't show any expression when he saw the four sons of Dehua coming up, he smiled faintly, drank the wine in the wine glass in his hand again, and said in a somewhat higher tone: "Gao Jian didn't have it, but I just wanted you to find out a fact." ”

He eased his tone, filled the empty wine glass with fine wine, and continued: "Everyone said that my Datang national strength is becoming more and more prosperous, and it seems to have the potential to dominate the world, so what I want to ask is, what is the so-called growing national strength of my Datang, my Datang is only partial to this corner of the south of the Yangtze River, up to all parts of Huainan, down to some areas of northern Fujian. It's just a corner, and the national strength of He Lai is becoming more and more prosperous. ”

"Joke, Your Excellency didn't know that the territory of my Tang Dynasty many years ago was not as big as it is now, but it was His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who won the states of northern Fujian and the states of western Zhejiang in one fell swoop seven years ago. Isn't it getting stronger and stronger? When the generation heard it, he made a disdainful voice.

And all the people responded to each other.

"That was also seven years ago, so may I ask you, what about the past seven years, what measures have I taken to expand the territory of Datang, although my Datang is in this corner of the south of the Yangtze River, but it is also in this rich place, don't say that you want to save gold and raise Rui, isn't that seven years enough, then have you heard of any external measures in my Datang court." The young man in white took a sip of wine and responded.

"Then I am the far-sighted strategy of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can you and other ordinary people know." , Another son heard it and said unconvinced.

"Ignorance".

The young man in white clothes waved his sleeves, but his faint tone revealed an unquestionable admiration, although his contemptuous tone revealed a domineering aura at this time.

When the boy heard him say those words of contempt, his cheeks flushed, and he opened his mouth to refute, but he could not find any words to refute it.

"Then I would like to ask you, in your opinion, what is it?"

Nasang Jingxuan's son also took a sip of wine and asked the young man in white.

"I have Wu Yue in the east of the Tang Dynasty, and its power is not under my Datang, these years, Wu Yue has been eyeing my Datang, and he will avenge the revenge of the land grabbing that year when he has the opportunity. Although the Fujian country is now a small country, it should not be underestimated. There is the Great Zhou Kingdom in the north, which is located in the Central Plains and is orthodox in the world, and its power is more than that of the Tang Dynasty. There are small countries such as the Southern Han Dynasty in the south and Jingchu in the west, but they cannot be ignored. ”

"So what." Someone asked.

"And my Tang Dynasty court is surrounded by these large and small countries, but the court does not try to rule strongly. Only settle for the status quo and only care about enjoying a corner of the rich Jiangnan. Although Datang has rich states in the south of the Yangtze River, it only seeks self-preservation, where is the ambition to expand the territory back then. Moreover, I Datang emphasized literature and light martial arts, and the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty took pleasure in writing poems, indulging in the wind and snow, and could not dial themselves. The young man in white had witty words, and the words hit everyone like a pinpoint to the point.

Others fell into deep thought, revealing confused eyes.

"What does this mean, is it because of this, I don't have a little confidence in my Datang." Nasang Jingxuan was not convinced, and he was unwilling to say loudly.

"Confidence, isn't these enough, for example, the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Khitan with the wolf and tiger division in the north, is eyeing the tiger, still working hard, only relying on Yanmen Pass, can hold the Central Plains, if it weren't for the original Jin Emperor Shi Jingjiao who gave the Yanyun Sixteen, which is known as the Central Plains barrier, to the Khitan people, I believe that the Great Zhou State will now be stronger and stronger. How can you be afraid of the Khitan jackal tiger army who has not yet passed the level. Besides, there are many generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Yanchao and other fierce generals, which are not experienced in a hundred battles, and they are all brave and good at fighting, and no one is invincible. And what about my Tang Dynasty, and the ministers are important, when His Majesty the Emperor captured Jianzhou, he also used the current Ministry of Industry Shangshu Cha. What you say about my Datang will dominate the world, according to the following opinion, it is a joke, and this joke is not funny at all. ”

The young man in white shook his head and smiled after speaking, raised his wine glass alone and took a sip, he didn't look at the four people anymore after he finished speaking, leisurely picked up the dishes, and slowly tasted the fresh fish that had just been caught from the Yangtze River in Dehua City.

The four sons of Dehua who were around him were white and blue for a while, and they really couldn't find any words to refute the words of the young man in white. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment, as they did not know whether to return to their table or continue to stay and argue with the young man in white.

Ye Yinfeng and the fat Taoist Li Xiaoyao were stunned, they didn't expect this white-clothed young man to say such a thing. But after thinking about it carefully, the young man in white seems to have some truth in what he said. It's just that it's not in this own country but it says good things about other countries, but it seems a little weird. Although there was no strict control over the speech of the moment at that time, the speech that belittled one's own country and exalted other countries was still unprecedented. While admiring the young man in white, Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but secretly worry about the young man in his heart.

The words of this young man, to put it mildly, can convict him of a spy in another country. In general, it is a great crime of rebellion, and it will punish the nine clans.

The young man in white didn't seem to be worried about his situation, he still looked fixed, and tasted the special dishes of Nadehua City without distraction, and let out a sound of admiration from time to time. As if sensing Ye Yinfeng's worry, he raised his wine glass, nodded to Ye Yinfeng, and then drank the wine down.

Ye Yinfeng was also surprised, here, it seemed that it was the first time that the young man in white greeted someone. Although he was puzzled, he couldn't lose his courtesy, he also nodded to the young man in white, and drank the wine from the wine glass.

"Hmph, the gossip confuses the public, this person is clearly a spy of the Great Zhou, and he is clearly here to provoke our confidence in His Majesty the Emperor." Sang Gongzi suddenly said loudly. They did not return to their seats.

"Yes, this person clearly has bad intentions."

"I suggest going to the police, arresting this person, and interrogating him properly."

"This person is clearly breaking our confidence, hurry up and report to the official."

As soon as Na Sang Gongzi's words fell, he was echoed by many people, and for a while, everyone blamed the young man in white one by one. When Nasang Gongzi heard everyone's words, a fierce cold light appeared in his eyes, and a gloomy sneer appeared on his face. 、

The white-clothed young man raised the corners of his mouth with a disdainful smile, and he filled his wine glass. But he didn't hold it in his hand, but put it on the table, only to see him open his mouth and suck it, and the wine turned into a long thread and poured into his mouth.

At this moment, there was a sharp sound of cranes chirping outside the restaurant, and the young man stood up and threw a silver ingot on the table. walked to the palindrome on the periphery of the restaurant, and laughed loudly: "This Tang Dynasty is not the other Tang Dynasty, hahahahaha, the so-called Jiangnan talent is nothing more than that." ”

After speaking, the young man in white jumped up, and his body immediately rose three feet high, and the young man's figure was like stepping in the air at will, and the white clothes were fluttering, and an elegant and chic figure was walking in the air. At this time, a white crane with an incomparably abundant spirit flew in a hurry, and just when the young man in white was about to fall out of breath, the white crane flew below him with great precision. The boy landed firmly on the white crane's back and stood with his hands in the wind.

The white crane let out a long cry and flew towards the middle of the Yangtze River, and everyone also got up one after another, watching the white-clothed young man stand on the crane's back and leave.

At this time, Ye Yinfeng found that in the center of the river, there was a small boat going up the river, and there was a woman in white standing on the boat, with a white veil hanging on her face, so that people could not see her true face. The woman in white had a graceful body, her clothes were flying, and her black hair was flying in the cold wind.

The shadow stood on the bow of the boat in the wind, and in the mist of the water, it flickered and flickered, like a fairy in the nine heavens.
