Wen Mu walked back to the barracks along the riverside.

He was stopped at the gate of the camp by the sentry on duty, and the sentry asked him solemnly, "What are you doing?" ”

He was stunned for a moment before casually saying to the sentry with a raw face, "I am from this camp." I just went out to do something......"

"Out on errands?" The sentry looked him up and down suspiciously, and saw that he was wearing only a short brown gray cloth of the usual sergeant, with large trousers scattered, and no leggings tied at the hem, and on his feet were round cloth shoes with patches on the tips of his shoes, and the uppers were covered with dust, and asked, "What about the warrant?" Take it out and take a look. ”

Wen Mu was confused by the sentry's actions, and didn't know how to answer for a while. He is doing private business, how can he have a warrant for Shangfeng? Besides, the captain in charge of the grain depot is one level lower than him, saying that he is asking for leave from the camp, but in fact, it is just a whistle to make a show, and who in the Liyuan soldiers who live here really takes the leave seriously? Like Lehuai, they don't even take a vacation when they go in and out on weekdays, aren't they going on their own? The commander of the grain depot usually doesn't pay attention to these trivial things, why did he suddenly change his face today?

"I'm doing private business, and the battalion officer didn't approve it. I went out for a while......"

"Is there any faith?" The sentry asked nonchalantly.

Who has nothing to do with that thing? Wen Muleng was about to sneer at each other, but he felt a little strange: this grain depot is full of loose old soldiers, when did it become so meticulous? It's like a different person...... Thinking of this, he peeked around again, and several sentries were all full of seriousness, their eyes were not squinting, all of them were standing tall and sticking in front of the camp gate like knives and nails, one by one, he didn't even know any of them! He was surprised, so he was careful when he spoke, explaining, "Just for a while, I didn't bring ......."

The sentry waved his hand before he could finish his sentence and said, "No warrant or letter, no entry into the camp!" He pointed to the side with his hand, "You go over there and wait first." ”

Wen Mu turned his face in the direction of the sentinel's finger. He was pretending to be in his heart just now, and he didn't pay attention to the things around him, but now he saw twenty or thirty people waiting in the open space not far from the camp gate, all of them were familiar faces, and there were several officers living in the same warehouse as him. Moreover, this group of people not only had soldiers from the Liyuan battalion, but also the clerk of a grain depot was also caught in the crowd with a sad face, talking anxiously to the people next to him...... It doesn't seem to be just for the Li Yuanbing. Looking at the grain depot again, except for three or five soldiers on duty, half of the idlers couldn't see that they were already under martial law......

He walked over and squatted beside Wu Yanzi and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the grain depot?" ”

Wu Yanzi shook his head and said, "Who knows what kind of wind is smoking!" He stretched his neck and spat vigorously, and then whispered, "I'll tell you, don't talk about it." He looked around sneakily, as if he was afraid that others would find out. A few days ago, the Shenwei army in a battalion in the north fought with the Yanshan people. The fight was still very strong, one by one, he lay down on the spot, and injured more than a dozen, and the blind man went overnight, and unloaded the errands of several officers in one go, and several officers of the Wei Mansion were also scolded to the blood......"

Someone next to him immediately asked in surprise: "Wu Yanzi, what you said is true?" Don't be another rumor you heard from your relative who couldn't hit the eight strokes! Some people also laughed and teased, "Wu Yanzi, what are your relatives doing?" It's the porter of the Admiralty's Palace, right? ”

"Can his relative be the porter of the Admiral's Palace? Let's pull the ball lightly! The concierge of the Prime Minister's Mansion is seven grades, and the Admiral is only half a level worse than the Prime Minister, so why doesn't the Concierge of the Admiral's Mansion also have eight grades? Can Wu's family have such relatives? I don't believe it! ”

"Hehe, I don't believe it either!"

Wu Yanzi has long been accustomed to being sneered, and the discussions of the people next to him are completely deaf ears, and he only said to Wen Mu, who was speechless: "...... Looking at the scene in front of him, it is likely that the blind merchant has dealt with the affairs over there, and by the way, he has inspected the camps of several temporary garrisons," after speaking, he glanced around at the people who had quieted down, "Otherwise, how can a merely empty grain depot be under martial law?" ”

Wen Mu nodded with a deep groan. The first half of Wu Yanzi's words may be true or false, but the judgment of the second half is ninety percent credible, and the person who can make a small grain depot close to the enemy is the only one in Yanshanwei right now......

The crowd didn't know who laughed strangely and said: "Wu Yanzi, you really make up nonsense and don't even blink your eyelids, the blind man has just been a lieutenant for a few days, and the ground hasn't stepped on the heat, what is he doing when he comes to this grain depot where birds don't for no reason?" With this kind of work, he might as well think about dealing with Li Shen and Yanshan Weifu! I heard that the Wei Mansion did not deal with him, and several generals in the Wei Mansion dared to fight with him; What he said was not far away, and Li Shen in Duanzhou said it well. Don't look at the old Li family, but the temple is still a monk, and the personnel who have been operating up and down Yanshan over the years are not comparable to his fake commander......"

Wu Yanzi didn't argue with that person, and said to Wen Mu with a twitch of the corners of his mouth: "He knows a ball!" Who would dare to come with a blind man with open fire? How many heads do you have without touching yourself? The blind man is hanging the title of the deputy head of the Yanshan camp, who dares to go against him, a jun order can make that guy roll up and get out! Wen Mu nodded silently. Wu Yanzi's words are reasonable, after the beginning of spring, the first batch of people who withdrew to Shangjing were the directly subordinate divisions of the Yanshan camp, and as soon as these people left, the current camp was already useless, and Shang Chengzhen wanted to borrow the knife of the camp to establish his authority, which was indeed a simple thing.

Wu Yanzi saw that Wen Mu obviously agreed with his opinion, and couldn't help but feel a little happy, and then continued to show off the gossip he heard: "At the beginning, others thought it was a business...... Lord Shang will do this, and he will always catch a few chickens to scare the ignorant monkeys. But who knew he wouldn't do it! Since he took office, he has not seriously belittled anyone, and even Li Shen has been silent when he withheld the food and salary of his two brigades of the Chinese army in Duanzhou. This ......," he pressed the small stick in his hand, "I heard that he was a person who climbed up by virtue of his military exploits, how could he not do anything serious after becoming a commander, except for releasing grain for disaster relief?" At present, I heard that he is still going to build water conservancy and repair official roads in Quanyanshan, and he also wants to suppress bandits, saying that he wants to 'pacify the bandits and calm the party'...... You say he's a general who leads troops to war, what does he do with so much in the place? He still has the word 'fake position' on his head, which is obviously grabbed by the imperial court, and after the current torment, can he still work in Yanshan with two words? ”

Wen Mu was silent, lowered his head and carefully pondered the meaning of Wu Yuzi's words. Obviously, a large part of these words did not come from the mouth of Wu Yanzi, and many things and joints could never be known without being in them, and he was "relaying" the words of that relative in his own tone. It seems that this relative is indeed a person, and the official is not small, otherwise how could he even know the movements and thoughts in the court so clearly and think so thoroughly? He has served in the military Chinese, and he understands that every move and word and deed on the official must be repeatedly considered to see if there is another deep meaning, so as not to obviously want to slap the horse's ass, but end up slapping the horse's hooves; Yanshan officials are no exception. They must have repeatedly speculated about the appointment of Shang Cheng by the imperial court, so they complained about some of Shang Cheng's actions. In their eyes, apart from the aftermath of the war, what else is "serious"? "Of course, Shang Cheng should not do anything, so as not to get angry at both ends of the bellows......

It seems that Shang Cheng's current situation is very difficult......

Thinking about it, he heard the sound of horses' hooves from far to near, and when he raised his head to look, he saw more than a dozen horses rolling up a piece of dust galloping from the direction of Yanyan Town, and he didn't stop his horses until he was not far in front of the camp gate, so he heard the leader ask: "Captain Wen Muwen of the Right Mighty Army, have you come back?" ”

The sentry who had stopped him just now replied, "No." ”

Wen Mu had already recognized that the person who was questioning was Zhao Shishi. Listen to them, they're looking for themselves. Zhao Shishi has a festival with himself, it is impossible to be so attentive, can he say ......

His heart suddenly became hot: Shang Cheng was still thinking about himself!

He stood up, took two steps forward, and said loudly, "Here I am!" ”
