The homemade rice wine is very mellow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the wine was in its mouth, the eyes of the people sitting at the table lit up.

The color of the wine is clear, and the entrance is rich and long, and the aftertaste is endless!

He lowered his head and carefully examined the wine in the glass, and even picked up the glass and sniffed it for a while.

He smiled and looked at the man sitting across from him, and their eyes immediately met.

Then the person at the table spoke, and said to his companion with a little regret in his tone: "I didn't expect you to arrive at the place where you insisted on coming to Northland Town...... It's special! ”

"It's not as inconspicuous as it looks from the outside......"

He frowned and said, "But the wine in their store is really good!" ”

As they passed through the streets, they sat in the carriage and looked out over the streets of the town as they were far less prosperous than those in the southern part of the princess's territory.

Bitter cold in the north, conditions are restricted, and the territory of Sealand is ...... The south looks better than the north.

"It's a pity that we can't stay here for long, you and I still have things to do."

He paused, and said with a hint of depression in his tone: "If things go well, we should be able to get out of the way!" ”

"When the time comes...... You can come here to buy wine and take it away. ”

Is this something you want to remember after tasting it?

Hearing this, the companion smiled helplessly and shook his head, and said to him in a gentle tone: "Don't forget, you buried me just now!" ”

He rolled his gaze and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "What...... It doesn't take a lot of effort, but you changed your rhetoric first! ”

"After drinking it, I still want to buy it next time and take it away, it's really yours!"

When the person sitting in front of him heard this, his expression was slightly embarrassed.

He coughed and glanced at his companion in an attempt to argue, "I wasn't brought by you?" And say me! ”

"It's as if I took you to the ditch, and I didn't take you to enjoy it!"

"I, I...... Where do you know what time-honored shops are in town? ”

"Okay, okay, don't fight with you, hurry up and drink and eat."

The companion saw his thoughts, glanced at the stove, looked at him and said, "I told the running hall before, I took care of them to serve the food faster, it shouldn't take long." ”

The two looked at each other, and the companion restrained his smile and continued: "Whether it's good or bad, it's up to the results of this trip!" ”

"Yes, since the task has been handed over to us, it must be unavoidable."

The two of them lowered their heads and tasted rice wine, thinking in their hearts what they would say when they met the empress for a while, and the princess's handwritten letter, which was still on one of them at the moment.

...... The mountain road is rugged, and when I walk through the dense forest, I look at the scene outside, and if the road is not led by familiar mountain people, this place is actually easy to get lost.

Especially for someone like me who doesn't have a good sense of direction, it's even more difficult.

If I had trekked alone in the mountains, I would have lost my way if I wasn't careful, and it would have been difficult to get out of this trail if I got lost.

The possibility of going around in circles in the mountains and forests is too great!

Because the mountains and forests in this area look almost the same, it is not easy to identify.

In addition, the nearby terrain is quite dangerous, and there will even be a landslide in the rainy season, which sounds like a cold sweat on the back.

I discovered this as early as when I was on my way with the tsundere boy in the mountains.

I remember that it seems that from Suzhou to Beidi, the soil in the mountains is relatively soft.

What does that mean?

This means that geological disasters are more likely to occur in the case of adverse weather conditions.

Just like when we walked in the cave passage before, the passage was blocked by falling rocks and soil, and we couldn't walk, so we could only detour.

That time, I broke down the barriers and found a new pathway.

Walking in the mountains is not uncommon.

The tsundere boy was deep in the mountains at that time, and I knew that he had carefully examined the soil in the mountains, and he had said something similar at that time.

Later, when we came across the village buried by the mudslide, it actually proved that he was right.

The last earthquake caused damage to Northland, including collapsed houses in the mountains...... We weren't at the epicenter, but I've seen it on the trail.

I heard that the road was cleared after the earthquake!

Now that I had to open that road again, I thought in my heart that I would have to work together with the local Sealand soldiers to complete it.

"Brother Chen, you followed General Gu to the nearby mountains at that time, how did the residents in the mountains move out after the earthquake?"

I have doubts about this.

It stands to reason that after the earthquake, the area of severe damage should be unsuitable for mountain people.

"Xiao Lin, you don't know this," Chen Xiang said in an affirmative tone, "Unless the terrain of the entire village is destroyed, it is generally only a place where a few houses have collapsed, and few villagers have moved away." ”

"Where they have lived for generations, they don't move easily."

Chen Xiang glanced at me and continued: "Therefore, most of them choose to rebuild their residences in place and repair the collapsed houses. ”

...... I looked at the col where the carriage passed along the road, thought about what Chen Xiang had just said, and lowered my head to think.

I wandered for a moment, pulled back my thoughts and looked at the layers of trees in the distance, and faintly heard the sound of water in my ears again.

The route we walked was sometimes parallel to the mountain stream, but some sections were passed through the col bypassing the beach near the water.

This time I heard the sound of water again, and it was much louder than before, and I couldn't help but think: Could it be that there is a river nearby?

The next moment, I heard the mountain people say to the people beside me: "Master Jun, not far ahead is the river flowing outside the town." ”

I guessed it!

The mountain man continued, "When you get there, you will be able to walk through the path in the woods." ”

Rarely, I finally heard the guy who had been silent next to him respond, but it was only a short word: "Good!" ”

My gaze turned to Chen Xiang, who was sitting on the side.

When he looked at me, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he lowered his voice: "Why didn't he even say a word of superfluous words?" ”

Chen Xiang thought about it and then opened his mouth to the mountain people, and his tone of voice was much softer: "This big brother, thank you for showing us the way." ”

Later, I heard the voice of the mountain people coming from the direction of the front seat: "No, no, the military master is very polite, and I have to thank you for my hard work!" ”

Listening to the tone of the mountain people, it seemed that he was quite satisfied with the money given.

It seems that although that guy is silent most of the time, he still does things with a very human touch.

...... When the carriage reached the woods and saw the river not far away, the mountain people got out of the carriage and said goodbye to us.

He turned back the way he came.

Chen Xiang and I got out of the car to breathe, and stood in the forest watching the backs of the mountain people go away.

Then we got into the car, and this time Chen Xiang sat in the front seat with the guy.

As soon as I got in the car, I went to check on the unconscious man, and I was relieved to see that his face had not changed much at this time.

...... The carriage passed through the forest and onto the main road.

I heard Chen Xiang say to the calm guy beside him: "When we get to the entrance of the town later, the queue waiting for the investigation must be very long." ”

Chen Xiang recounted the plan we had discussed before: "I'll deal with it when the time comes, so that we can enter the town earlier." ”

"I heard everything you just said."

The guy said in a calm tone: "But I still have something to do, so I can't go with you directly." ”

He emphasized: "There is an arrangement from above. ”

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, and Chen Xiang in the front seat was obviously shocked.

Both of us temporarily lost the ability to speak.

After waiting for a while, Chen Xiang stared at him and asked, "Are you admitting your identity as a secret guard?" Did you make it clear to us? ”

"I didn't say anything, I just didn't go with you when I got to town."

Chen Xiang shouted: "You still want to rely on it!" ”

"I heard that sentence with Xiaolin just now, you said it yourself, how can you say it if you don't admit it!"

"If you hear it, why bother."

Chen Xiang suddenly stopped the topic.

I figured it out, he probably realized...... If the other party is really the identity of the secret guard, we really can't say much with our status in the army.

Sure enough, the next moment, Chen Xiang fell into silence.

After a long time, the carriage was speeding down the main road, and it was about to turn to the road outside the town......

Chen Xiangcai lowered his voice and asked the people around him, "When are you leaving?" ”

"When your car stops."

The guy's tone was as calm as ever!

I glanced down at the man lying in the carriage.

The entrance to Northland Town is just ahead, so you don't have to worry about getting to town with his appearance.

As he pondered, the carriage quickly turned around.

I could hear a cacophony ahead of me and immediately realized that we were outside of town.

Of course, I couldn't wait to open the curtains of the car and look out.

Just like the one from the same village of the mountain people I met in the middle of the road said it before.

At this moment, the town looks very lively.

At first glance, it looks like the street where the liveliest market gathers in Nanhua Town.

Among the people waiting outside to enter the town and those who plan to pass the checkpoint are obviously dressed as mountain people, there are local people in the town, and there are people of other races mixed in.

I looked at the long procession and saw Sealand's soldiers keeping order in it.

As it stands, if we wait in line in order, it will take us more than half an hour.

It seems that we can only follow the plan and send Chen Xiang to the guards at the entrance of the town to clear up the relationship.

The next moment, I heard a voice from the front seat, Chen Xiang and the calm guy got out of the carriage together.

So, I followed!

The three stood by the carriage, lined up on the road outside the town.

Chen Xiang looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, there are familiar faces among the people guarding the entrance of the town, I will go over to say hello." ”

With that, we both looked at the guy standing on the other side.

He gestured to us, didn't say a word, and walked through the crowd towards the front of the line.

Chen Xiang took a step behind depressedly, and when he walked away, he turned his head to look at me and said, "That guy is not righteous enough, he didn't even say goodbye all the way over!" ”

"Brother Chen, maybe there is really an arrangement from above, he can't take care of it!"

Chen Xiang sighed, then looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, you wait here for a while." ”

"Brother Chen, you guess there's no problem, right?"

I pointed to the carriage, and he must have understood what I meant.

Chen Xiang smiled: "It's okay, you just wait here." ”

I watched as he walked towards the front of the line, the calm guy who had left had long since entered the town and disappeared.

I'm not surprised that man is always fast!

Since his words revealed that there were other arrangements at the top, I suspect that there must be a point of contact for their guards to gather and stay in the town.

I wonder if his companion is also in the house where the empress lives!

He took the first step because he didn't want others to notice that he appeared with us, which was a way to avoid suspicion!

I've heard that these people are good at disguise, and when I think back to the plain face of the dark guard, I don't think about it too much now.

It really looks like that, and you can't remember or recognize it if you throw it in the pile.

If he changes his clothes or grows a beard or something, then I won't recognize him even more.

This person appeared inexplicably, and his behavior made people wonder, and he didn't even expect the way to leave, so he said he was leaving!

I stood by the carriage and saw Chen Xiang walking over to talk to the guards who were interrogating, and the two of them quickly arrived in a corner and didn't know what they were talking about.

Looking at the man's expression from afar, and the smile on Chen Xiang's face, I knew that most of the time, as he said, we could get in smoothly.

...... Ran Tang brought hot dishes, looked at the two guests sitting at the table, and said with a bit of hesitation: "Do you two want to have some more wine?" ”

Although he was far away, he could see it clearly.

Both of them must have had a good amount of wine, because the pot of wine had already been emptied by them.

Running the hall is more sensitive, and looking at their clothes, they don't look like people with poor money.

Ran Tang hesitated for a moment, but still suggested to them: "The wine customers in our store like it very much." ”

"Some of the guests come to us just to drink."

Hearing this, a guest sitting at the table looked at the running hall and smiled: "That's right, I also came all the way here." ”

He chimed in: "Just for your family's wine and food." ”

Hearing this, the running hall perked up and looked at him, and heard the guest say again: "It's a pity that there are still things to do today, and you can't be greedy." ”

He looked at the running hall and said in a gentle tone: "When we come back, we will definitely come to the store again for a drink, and by the way, we can buy some wine to take away...... That couldn't be better! ”

Rantang nodded happily and turned to greet the other guests.

The eyes of the two people sitting at the table kept following the departure hall.

Seeing that he finished greeting the guests, he ordered a few new dishes and walked in the direction of the stove.
