Chapter 54 Let's make a bet
"Second Young Master">, where are we going?" Wang Ting asked Wang Yi, who was walking in front of him, softly.
Today, Wang Yi said that he had something to go out and called a few of their followers, but he didn't ride a horse. The group walked for a long time and had not arrived at the place. Wang heard it a little confused. He was considering Wang Yi's safety and couldn't help but ask for advice.
Wang Yi turned his head and looked at Wang Ting, who was puzzled, and replied: "Today I am going to visit an old friend, right in front of Yongningfang!"
"Oh!" Wang heard this and did not dare to ask again, but just signaled the other companions to cheer up.
The group came outside a house in Yongningfang. Wang Yi stood a little far from the gate and took a look.
This is a not-so-large house with a relatively small storefront, with a door closed and only one side door open.
Wang Yi called Wang and gave a few instructions. Wang Ting understood and walked over, bowed to the two men guarding the side door and said, "My brothers, can there be a man in the mansion named Ma Zhou and named Binwang?"
The two servants guarding the door of the mansion saw Wang Yi showing off his talent and extraordinary temperament. Wang Ting looked like a not-so-simple person, and did not dare to neglect him. He quickly replied, "There is a disciple of Ma Zhou in the mansion. I wonder what you are looking for him?"
"Please tell me about his old friend, the prince from Qiantang, who came to visit!" Wang said without being humble or arrogant.
"Okay, you can wait a moment, Rong Xiaodi go and see if husband Ma is in the mansion..." A servant looked at Wang and then looked at Wang Yi standing a little far from the door. After returning the greeting, he trotted into the mansion.
Wang Yi waited for a while at the door of the mansion, and then heard the footsteps of several people coming from the inside, and then a surprise voice came: "Brother Chenyang, you finally appeared... Haha! I want to die of something!" With the sound, Ma Zhou ran out quickly from inside.
"Brother Bin Wang, you are indeed here. It seems that I have really found the wrong place!" Wang Yi laughed and saluted.
This is the family brother of Chang He, the general of the Jinwu Guard. According to historical records, Ma Zhou came to Chang'an and came to Chang'an to join Chang He. Wang Yi thought that the current situation should be the same. Therefore, after inquiring about Chang He's family brother, he took advantage of Li Shimin's busy handling of the court and had no time to summon him and had nothing to do for the time being, so he came to the door directly, trying his luck to see if Ma Zhou was here!
As expected, Ma Zhou had already devoted himself to Chang He's sect, and everything was as recorded in history.
Ma Zhou replied to the gift, smiling but a little surprised, "How did Brother Chenyang know that I would be here?"
Wang Yi showed an unfathomable smile, "I can do it, I know you will be here, so I came to find you!"
"Haha, Brother Chenyang was joking. After arriving in Chang'an, I heard a lot of things about you. Haha, it's not simple! I really didn't expect you to be such a person," Ma Zhou misunderstood. He heard about Wang Yi from Chang He these days, thinking that it might be that they met during the autumn hunting. They only knew his whereabouts. But although Wang Yi and Chang He both participated in the autumn hunting and met, they had never spoken, and they didn't ask about him!
Chang He had also played on the court, but within a few moves, he was knocked down by Wang Yi's brother Wang Ang and lost the opportunity to fight Wang Yi. In addition, Wang Yi was still innocent and his camp was far away from the imperial tent. As the General of the Jinwu Guard who was responsible for Li Shimin's security, Chang He naturally had no chance to go to Wang Yi to talk to him, and Chang He would not go to talk to Wang Yi!
"Hey! Some tricks made Brother Bin laugh!" Wang Yi laughed loudly.
Ma Zhou looked at the two servants in Chang's mansion who looked at them, reached out and patted Wang Yi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Chenyang, I just happened to be fine today. Why don't we find a place to drink? Today, you can't refuse!"
"It's better to obey your orders than respect, so follow Brother Bin Wang's words! Please!" Wang Yi did not refuse and agreed immediately.
He likes Ma Zhou's personality very much. He doesn't have too many politeness when getting along with each other, so he doesn't feel restrained. He is a true lover!
"Then let's go. I know there is a pretty good restaurant nearby and the price is not expensive, so we'll go there!"
"Okay, let's go!" Wang Yi signaled to Wang Ting and others with shocked expressions, and went with Ma Zhouyi.
The two of them were talking all the way to a small restaurant nearby and asked for a small private room on the second floor. After sitting down, Ma Zhou ordered a few dishes and immediately ordered the waiter to bring a few pots of three cubes.
"Chenyang, although the storefront here is smaller, the wine tastes good, better than the wine I had before, and better than the ones I could drink in Changfu, especially this most exciting Sanlejuice!"
"Brother Binwang often comes here to drink?"
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and nodded, "I'm idle every day, I often come out to drink a few cups to ease my depression!"
"Brother Bin Wang, you..." Wang Yi was about to ask something, but the waiter shouted and brought the wine and food, and he also stopped.
Ma Zhou picked up the wine pot, poured Wang Yi full of wine, then filled his glass, then picked up the wine glass, toasted Wang Yi, "Chenyang, come, let's have a drink. I parted in Xinfeng that day. I had long hoped to drink and chat with you, and today I finally got my wish!"
"I have long thought that I can drink wine with Brother Bin and have fun together. Come on, I'll do it. I won't be drunk today!" Wang Yi raised his glass, raised his glass with Ma Zhou, and drank the wine in the glass!
Ma Zhou poured Wang Yi's glass full of wine again and said excitedly: "Brother Chenyang, I saw that you were extraordinary and thought that you must be a very person, but I didn't expect you to be such a person. At such a young age, you have done so many things and are already famous in Qiantang. Your Majesty's reputation is so impressive that you are appreciated by Your Majesty! I am not ambitious and admired by my grandfather, and I am very jealous. Come and drink! Next time you have to treat me to a good drink!" As he said that, he drank the wine that had just been filled with his glass!
Wang Yi followed him and wiped his mouth, poured his wine for Ma Zhou, then filled his glass with his glass, raised his glass and said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence, luck. Brother Ribin Wang will have such an opportunity, but the time has not yet come. Haha, when Brother Bin Wang is proud, it's the day of envy. Don't forget to ask me to drink happily! Come on, we'll do it! When you have the chance next time, you must ask Brother Bin Wang to drink happily!"
Ma Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Chenyang is joking. I dare not expect to have such an opportunity like you, and I don't have such talent. There will be no time for me to be envious and jealous in this life!" As he said that, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass in one go!
"Brother Bin Wang, I can guarantee that there will be such a day at that time!" Wang Yi clearly recorded that Ma Zhou recorded in historical books for Chang He was surprised and praised him after seeing it. When asked about the details of Chang He, Chang He honestly replied that it was written by his disciple Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou was summoned by Li Shimin immediately and soared to the sky and finally became the Central Secretariat. However, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has not yet come to Ma Zhou, but Wang Yi believes that Ma Zhou will definitely encounter such an opportunity. Even if the history has changed slightly because of the arrival of his time traveler, such a strange man like Ma Zhou can still be appreciated by Li Shimin through other channels.
Wang Yi said this again, making Ma Zhou no longer treat this as a comforting word. He looked at Wang Yi with some confusion, but did not ask why Wang Yi said this, but instead smiled self-deprecatingly: "Then I'll ask Brother Chenyang Ji Yan, I hope that that day will come as soon as possible!"
Wang Yi poured Ma Zhou's wine again and asked, "Depending on the situation, Brother Bin is not very satisfied with his life in Chang's mansion?"
"Oh!" Ma Zhou put down the wine glass he had just picked up and sighed, "Although Chang He is very polite to someone, he is a general, and only knows how to lead troops to fight. He has no interest in the current affairs and people's livelihood. He has talked about this with him several times, but he is not interested in listening. Most of the time he is in Chang's mansion, he can copy and write things, and his life is quite boring!"
"Brother Bin Wang isn't he disappointed, right?" Wang Yi asked again after saying goodbye to Ma Zhou's cup.
"There is no way to say anything about disappointment or not. Anyway, I have been through this all these years," Ma Zhou drank another cup and wiped the corner of his mouth. "It's just that someone is already in his thirties and has accomplished nothing. Sometimes it's really sad! If he is as young as Brother Chenyang, there is nothing to regret. He has a lot of time to squander! Alas..."
"Brother Bin Wang has been constantly having adventures in the past twenty or thirty years. Don't you feel strange? I can say with certainty that there will be another adventure in your life in Chang'an," Wang Yi showed a mysterious expression that was not very consistent with his age. "It is very likely that this adventure will be undecided because of General Chang He who was specially rewarded by the emperor for his great contributions... The general doesn't understand Mo, you understand!"
"It's reasonable!" Ma Zhou looked at Wang Yi strangely, then sighed and drank a glass of wine. "Although that's the case, who knows when will this opportunity come? Maybe before the opportunity comes, some people are already old!"
"Brother Bin Wang, opportunities always come inadvertently. If strange things happen to you every day, what is that? As long as the opportunity comes, you can seize it, that's fine!" Wang Yi comforted Ma Zhou like a big brother.
After hearing Wang Yi's statement that he was very frightened, Ma Zhou was a little dazed, but immediately smiled self-deprecatingly, "Brother Chen Yang is interesting in speaking. Thank you. I hope you will come soon this day and save you the 70s and 80s of Shi. It won't be useful... Haha! Come and have another drink!"
Wang Yi thought about the glass, but pressed Ma Zhou's hand with the glass raised, and said mysteriously: "Brother Binwang, let's make a bet. If you are still like this at this time next year, I will invite you to the highest-end restaurant in Chang'an City to drink. If Brother Binwang has been valued by the court, then you will be the host and invite me to the most luxurious restaurant in Chang'an to drink. How about it?"
