Chapter 164: The Holy Wine Storm
Zhou Nan walked up to Yu Liyan and asked, "It's really reckless, ruined your restaurant." I wonder what the princess is planning? If the princess has nowhere to go, she will stay in our cottage for a while, right? "If the princess agrees, then let Zuo Xiaosi and Gao Shouxiao take them across the Wuding River in the south, and then go west into the mountains and return to their worry-free village. The rest of him, Gao Yuan, and Gao Shouzhong went west, deliberately luring the chasing officers and soldiers into the mountain with them, and after two laps in the mountain, they could get rid of the officers and soldiers and return to the cottage.
Yelu Yu Liyan shook his head and said: "If the restaurant is destroyed, it will be destroyed, thank you Dalang for your kindness, Yinping and I are going home." ”
"Home?" Zhou Nan asked in surprise, isn't her home the palace? It is not the imperial palace of Nanjing, it must also be the imperial palace of Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Xijing, but these capitals, except for Nanjing Yanjing, are safe and war-free, and everything else has fallen into the hands of the Jinren.
"Which home are you going back to?"
In Yanjing City, in the side hall next to the Yuanhe Palace, Xiao Puxian was thinking about her own thoughts in her heart while listening to Li Chuwen's words.
"You mean, the few people who rescued the princess were a few Han households in the mountains under the rule of Yizhou?" Xiao Puxian asked casually.
"Exactly. Weichen interrogated several of Hu Dugu's henchmen overnight, as well as the guys who escaped from the restaurant, and it was the Han hunter of Gaojiazhai in Wuzhai Ling, Yizhou who rescued the princess of Shu, led by one surnamed Zhou, and the other surnamed Gao. According to Hu Dugu's confidant, last year, the princess of Shu and her sister and brother went into the mountains to play, and met a tiger on the way. Li Chuwen said unhurriedly, mentioning steamed wine, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Xiao Puxian: "Niangniang, this steamed wine is the culprit of arson in the restaurant." ”
Xiao Pu said strangely: "When did this wine become the culprit of arson?" ”
Li Chuwen hurriedly replied: "Weichen sent people to search the inside and outside of the restaurant after the dawn, and the front yard and backyard of the restaurant have set up organs, and what is even more peculiar is the bamboo pipe jetting mechanism of the wine barrel in the backyard, and there are more than ten wine jars scattered next to the wine barrels, and the guy in the restaurant confessed that this wine jar and this steamed wine are sold by those hunters. There is still a jar left in the restaurant, and I think it is too late to use it in a panic. Weichen tried to pour a bowl and lit it with fire, and sure enough, it was the ground fire that the soldiers said last night. ”
"Is there such wine? How can wine make a fire, and how can you drink it? Xiao Puxian asked.
"Wechen has brought the jar of steamed wine, and is about to invite the mother to watch." As Li Chuwen spoke, a eunuch moved a wine jar in.
The wine jar is also commonly used in the market and township, made of black glazed stoneware, not to mention beautifully decorated, and the mouth of the altar is a wooden cork wrapped in white cloth. The eunuch pulled the cork from the wine jar, and a quiet and intoxicating aroma of wine wafted through the side hall.
Xiao Puxian couldn't help but praise: "Good fragrant wine." ”
Li Chuwen saw Xiao Pu's admiration, so he took the opportunity to say: "Since Niangniang thinks this wine is fragrant, why don't you taste it?" ”
Xiao Puxian hesitated: "It's just this wine ......"
Li Chuwen immediately said: "Weichen will never know the severity, and ask Niangniang to try the wine herself." Please rest assured, firstly, the guy in this restaurant said that a batch had been sold half a month ago, and secondly, Weichen also let the palace wine-making eunuch taste it, only saying that this wine is sweet and mellow, but it has the fragrance of flowers and fruits. ”
Xiao Puxian was relieved after hearing this, although she felt that she was the mother of a country, but it was a little indecent to drink the village wine sold in the market, but she still couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma of the wine, took the wine glass on the plate held by the eunuch's hands, and took it up to watch carefully, only to see that this wine was different from the wine brewed in her own palace, clearer than the mountain spring, more fragrant than flowers and fruits, and drank it down, the entrance was like a fire, and the aftertaste was mellow and incomparable. This wine is even better than the gift wine sent by the Southern Dynasty, isn't it the newly made holy wine of the Southern Dynasty?
If it is said that these hunters are wine sellers, but these mountain village husbands, rough and rammed hunters, where can they make such fine wine? Isn't it suspicious that every time the Southern Dynasty sends an envoy to someone, it only sends ten jars and eight jars of imperial wine, and this wine seller can send twenty jars at once, and it is better than that imperial wine, isn't it suspicious?
Xiao Puxian took another sip of wine, thinking about the affairs of these hunters, if you want to say that these hunters can get such good wine from the Southern Dynasty with their ability and transport it to Yanjing to sell, forget it. But how could it happen that the wine seller went to the restaurant where the princess of Shu lived and hid? How could he happen to arrive in time when someone snatched the princess's seal, set up an organ, and rescued the princess of Shu?
From this point of view, isn't it in line with his conjecture last night: the Southern Dynasty sent spies to infiltrate Yanjing, colluded with the princess of Shu, and made chaos in Yanjing, so as to create an opportunity for Yelu Yanxi to attack Yanjing!
Li Chuwen said again: "The incident caused three times and twice around the princess of Shu, and it involved the Southern Dynasty and Yelu Yujian, who rebelled against the Jin Kingdom, according to Weichen's guess, there must be a big conspiracy on the princess of Shu. ”
At this time, Xiao Puxian's daughter had already drunk a few cups of steamed wine, and in the summer morning, the weather was hot, and her face was a little drunk. ”
Li Chuwen saw that Xiao Puxian's daughter had some wine, and took the opportunity to say: "Weichen specially asks Niangniang for permission to track down the princess of Shu and quell the civil strife, so as not to cause trouble to Xiao Wall." It has affected the stability of my great Liaojiang and mountains. ”
Xiao Puxian glanced at Li Chuwen inadvertently, silently thinking about her own thoughts.
Does it affect the stability of my big Liao? When did this Da Liao become yours? Even if her husband can't take charge of the orthodox imperial power of Da Liao, and will never allow Han people, Jin people, or even Xi people to take over the Da Liao country, then she and her husband will be worthy of being the descendants of the Xiao family and the Yelu family. The Han man in front of him is already in charge of the Han horse infantry army, and even the soldiers and horses of the Khitan people are under his command, why is he bent on tracking down the princess of Shu?
Xiao Puxian's heart was even more anxious, and asked Yelu Fonu to send someone to summon Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi back to Beijing, but I don't know if I saw anyone?
was anxious, but she couldn't help but deal with Li Chuwen's words, Xiao Puxian replied: "How does Taiwei Li plan to track down the princess of Shu?" It must be known that as soon as the princess of Shu leaves this time, she will inevitably continue to hide incognito, or even flee into the Southern Dynasty, and the investigation will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
"Niangniang," Li Chuwen saw that Xiao Puxian's mind was moved, and he hurriedly cheered up and said: "In the opinion of Weichen, the princess of Shu is colluded with foreign enemies, and she must be internal. If it is an internal response, it will not be far away from Yanjing. Only send troops around Yanjing to search, and you will be able to catch the princess of Shu and those few hunters, except for the ...... after that."
As soon as Li Chuwen said this, he only heard someone outside the door say: "A few hunters actually provoked Taiwei Li to raise troops to search, which is regarded as a big trouble?" ”
