Chapter 112: Peeling Back the Cocoon
The Qingbai Liquor Flag of Chunfeng Lou is still waving in the wind, and the drinkers who come and go are unaware that this well-known wine shop in the capital has quietly changed owners. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This time, Shao Mingyuan entered through the back door, and he didn't even go to the front restaurant, but went directly into a room in the backyard, and the two guards who came with him quietly guarded the door.
The layout of the room is clear, there is a fine white porcelain potbelly wine pot and a pair of wine Gu on the table near the window, and a pot of peony flowers on the windowsill is blooming brilliantly.
Shao Mingyuan sat down, didn't pour wine, just waited quietly.
About two quarters of an hour later, there was movement outside the door, and after a while, the door opened, and Shao Zhi led a middle-aged man in.
"General, Lin Dart is here. β
Shao Mingyuan looked at Lin Kun.
Yuanwei Dart Bureau has been open in the capital for many years, and even opened branches in some big cities, as the deputy dart head of the dart bureau, this person can be regarded as the number one person.
The middle-aged man in front of him was not tall, but he was very strong, and he had a pair of bright and spiritual eyes on his weather-beaten face.
"Lin Darthead. Shao Mingyuan was the first to speak.
Lin Kun looked at Shao Mingyuan with burning eyes, and suddenly bowed down: "I've seen the general!"
His hands trembled slightly, as if he was trying to hold back the excitement.
Shao Mingyuan was a little surprised, and stretched out his hand to help Lin Kun up: "Lin Dart doesn't have to be so politeβ"
Lin Kun stood up, his eyes were bright, and his eyes were full of eagerness to see someone he had revered for a long time.
Shao Zhi thought angrily: This person insisted on waiting to see the general before he said, could it be because he simply wanted to meet with his general?
Shao Zhi thought so, and his eyes fell on Lin Kun's hand holding Shao Mingyuan.
Hmph, don't let go yet!
Shao Mingyuan is much calmer than Shao Zhi.
He had seen too many of these in the Northland.
"Shao Zhi, you go out first. β
Since this person is willing to say it only when he wants to meet him, it can be seen that he does not want to have others present.
"Commanded. Shao Zhi glanced at Lin Kun and retreated silently.
Only Shao Mingyuan and Lin Kun were left in the room, Shao Mingyuan withdrew his hand and pointed to the white porcelain wine jug on the table: "Lin Darttou, do you want to have a drink?"
"No, no. In front of the famous champion Hou, as an ordinary person who was walking darts, Lin Kun was obviously a little excited, looking at the young and handsome face that was close at hand, he couldn't help but confess, "The general doesn't know anything, I think I heard of your heroic deeds when I was young, and I have special respect for you-"
Shao Mingyuan: "......"
He lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand to turn the wine Gu over, picked up the wine jug and poured it full in turn, then pushed it over, and said with a gentle smile: "My honor." β
When his fingers touched the cold wine Gu, Lin Kun came to his senses and couldn't help but be stunned.
What did he just talk nonsense?
"The name of this wine is 'Drunken Spring Breeze', and Lin Darttou must have drunk it. β
"Oh, drunk, drunk. Lin Kun took the wine handed over by Shao Mingyuan and drank it in a daze.
Shao Mingyuan didn't think it was funny, but his heart was astringent.
The people are like this, if you protect them, they will respect you in their hearts, and Rao is a man who usually stands up to the sky and the earth can show his childish side.
There is no party strife, no fear, these most simple feelings have always been the driving force for him to stick to the north.
Shao Mingyuan understood Lin Kun's mood, and did not go directly to the topic, but chatted a few words like a small gathering of friends, and saw that his mood gradually calmed down, and then he said: "Lin Darttou should know that my wife fell into the hands of the Tartars because she took the wrong path-"
Lin Kun's expression changed, and he put down the wine Gu and said solemnly: "Yes." β
He was present when the general's wife was taken captive, so what is not clear, is that he taking the wrong path?
Although the person in front of him was young, he was the person he had admired for a long time, Lin Kun's heart was crossed, and he said the thought that had been circling in his mind for a long time: "General, Xiaomin thinks that it was not as simple as taking the wrong road at that time, but the person who came to pick up his wife had a problem!"
"So when the general who came to replace him proposed to change the route, Lin Darthead strongly objected?"
"Yes, the general doesn't know, Xiaomin is actually from the Northland, he fled to the capital seven years ago, and now his hometown is actually my mother-in-law's maiden home, so others don't know anything about that route, but Xiaomin knows very well, if you go from that fork, there is a mountain road that is particularly suitable for ambush. β
Shao Mingyuan was not too surprised when he heard that Lin Kun was from the north.
At that time, when he heard Shao Zhi's return, he vaguely guessed that if the deputy dart head of Lin who did not hesitate to quarrel with Su Luofeng because of the diversion did not have a ghost in his heart, then he must have been to the Northland.
It's no wonder that the Hou Mansion supports the dart, and the Yuanwei Dart Bureau will send this Lin dart head to dart.
Shao Mingyuan poured another glass of wine and handed it over.
Xu said it, this time Lin Kun was not cramped in the slightest, and took it and drank it all.
Shao Mingyuan looked at him fixedly, suddenly got up, and saluted with a fist: "Then can Lin Darttou think about it carefully, what abnormalities happened before the team changed routes?"
Lin Kun was startled, stood up, and said helplessly: "General, you can torture the people!"
He wanted to help Shao Mingyuan but felt that it was inappropriate, so he was so anxious that his face turned red.
Unable to bear to embarrass him, Shao Mingyuan sat down again, and his tone was solemn: "Please think about it carefully, this is very important to me." β
When Lin Kun heard this, he racked his brains to remember.
He thought for a while, then hesitated, "If you want to say that it is abnormal, it doesn't seem to countβ"
"Lin Darttou said let's take a look. β
"It's when you pass through the Ghost Crying Forest...... General Devil Crying Lin knows, right?"
Shao Mingyuan quietly took out a scroll of drawings from his arms, slowly unfolded them, stretched out his hand and tapped somewhere and asked, "Is it here?"
Lin Kun's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, this is it!" When the team passed by here to rest, the chief steward of your mansion brought a few people, saying that they wanted to fight tooth sacrifices and wanted to hunt a wild boar in the forest to eat. This matter, in fact, it is not an anomaly, and no one else cares about it, but Xiaomin was a little nervous at the time. β
"Why?"
Lin Kun stretched out his hand and nodded at the illustration of the Ghost Crying Forest, and sighed: "Most people in the local area only know that the Ghost Crying Forest will have a kind of miasma in the summer, and the people who go in will throw their lives in it, and they will be fine in the winter." But the little people still knew a situation, and if they entered the forest and walked along here, they could cross a mountain belly and reach the area bordering the Tartars. β
Shao Mingyuan's eyes shrank suddenly.
I see!
If you are in a normal hurry, you need to take a detour for four or five days to arrive, and it is not within the route.
Lin Kun saw Shao Mingyuan's expression condensed, and hurriedly said: "Xiaomin has no other meaning, he just doesn't want to have more rights and wrongs, and that shortcut road is rarely known." Steward Shen didn't take long for them to come back, roasted the wild boar they hunted, and the small people also shared a piece to eat. β
Just because someone knows about it doesn't mean that no one knows about it.
A thick tiredness and coldness welled up, Shao Mingyuan smiled quietly, raised the wine jug and said, "Come, drink." β
