He Deaf had been waiting here for several days, and this morning he found that it was abnormal, from time to time there were similar merchant ships heading upstream from the river, and the people on the boat were all dressed in white and looked like they should be the same group, but they had to distance themselves from the front and back. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Until the ship insisted on anchoring close to the military station just now, he believed that what Lord Liu Pan had secretly instructed was going to happen tonight, and he had to hurry back to Baqiu to tell Liu He.

He knew that on the sentry tower along the river near Jiangling, there would be people like him at this moment, watching those people pretend to be businessmen leaning against the sentry tower with a dead face.

Everything is in the hands of the military advisor, but it's a pity that the brothers who stayed in the sentry tower still don't know anything, so they can only ask for more blessings. Brothers, don't resist, it won't take you a few days to get you out.

He was already gone, and the white-clothed merchant and his two servants began to set up a pot by the river, fetch some firewood from the boat, and began to light a fire for cooking.

In the sentry tower of the military station, two Jingzhou sergeants were also busy starting a fire, scooping out some rice, taking out a cabbage, going to the river to wash it, and going back to start making dinner.

The food was simple, and it was all done after a while, and the two of them ate with cabbage soup, although the food was simple, they could still ensure that they were full.

"Master Jun, Master Jun! The two military masters, what are you going to eat for dinner? At some point, the man in white stood at the window with a bowl and looked at their bowl, and began to ask.

Since even the military marquis had accepted their money just now, the two of them did not reprimand people for not leaning over, but went to the window with a bowl and talked to them: "How can there be anything delicious, it's not bad if you don't starve to death." ”

The white-clothed merchant looked at their rice bowls and sighed again and again: "The two military masters are really thrifty. ”

The two sergeants also sighed: "It's not as good as you make a lot of money, every day the mountains and the sea are delicious." ”

"Master Jun, Master Jun! The two military masters, what are you going to eat for dinner? At some point, the man in white stood at the window with a bowl and looked at their bowl, smiling all over his face and asking.

Since even the military marquis had accepted their money just now, the two of them did not reprimand people for not leaning over, but went to the window with a bowl and talked to them: "How can there be anything delicious, it's not bad if you don't starve to death." ”

The two sergeants also sighed: "It's not as good as you make a lot of money, every day the mountains and the sea are delicious." ”

The white-clothed merchant said with a smile: "The two military masters are wrong, we rarely eat mountain delicacies, but we often eat seafood." Have you forgotten that my current boat is just a boatload of seafood? ”

The short sergeant twitched his nose: "What a strong smell of fish." ”

The tall sergeant could see clearly that the fish was in the bowl that the merchant was carrying, full of bowls, and no one had touched it.

What did he mean by bringing it? It can't be deliberately hungry for us, right?

The white-clothed merchant didn't let him think much about it, and then said, "Thank you two military masters for taking care of you." You see, I specially made an extra bowl of hairtail fish here, and I want to invite the two military masters to appreciate their faces and taste it. ”

"Hairtail? It's the dead snake-like thing? The short sergeant was following He Deaf at the time, and he also thought that thing was too fishy.

The white-clothed merchant was a little unhappy, and turned around to leave: "Alas, since the military master refuses to appreciate his face, then, I'll take it back." ”

The tall sergeant hurriedly gave the short sergeant a palm: "People are kind enough to bring it to you to try it, how do you speak?" He sniffled again, "Actually, it still smells quite good." ”

When the white-clothed merchant heard this, he hurriedly turned around again: "Taste, taste and know." ”

"W-thank you then!" The tall sergeant had long arms, and he had already reached out of the window to pick him up.

The white-clothed merchant handed the dish in from the window, and said with a sneer: "Two military masters, this ribbon fish is a little fishy, it's best to drink some wine and press it, it just so happens that I still have a few pots of wine, why don't you two try it too?" ”

The short sergeant shook his head and said, "That's not good, we're not allowed to drink." ”

"It's okay to drink a little. You see, it's already winter, so it's time to drink some wine and go to the cold. Besides, you military marquis ...... just now, he didn't continue, the meaning is very clear, since he has accepted my bribes, are you still afraid that someone will come to question you?

This was said well, and even the short sergeant, who was usually honest, was tempted, and he and the tall sergeant glanced at each other.

The white-clothed merchant had already handed the flask through the window: "Taste, warm up." ”

The tall sergeant hesitated and reached out of the window to take the flask again.

The white-clothed merchant continued to persuade: "Drink, drink as much as you like, if it's not enough, I still have it." Alas, the two military masters are also too hard, such a cold day, guarding this riverside, the wind is so strong at night, but don't freeze your body. As he spoke, he tightened the placket of his shirt with his hand, and couldn't help but sneeze.

"Alas!" The tall sergeant slapped himself, "Yes, on such a cold day, the wind by the river is so strong, and you can't let the guest officer freeze." Why don't you come in and take a sip with us. So saying, he went to open the door and welcomed the white-clothed merchant in.

The short sergeant grabbed him and whispered to him, "Don't, just in case ......"

The tall sergeant pulled his hand away and said softly: "I'm just afraid that in case, let him come in to eat and drink together, and I'm not afraid of poisoning the wine and food." With that, he had already opened the door.

The white-clothed merchant hurriedly came in as soon as he flashed, rubbing his hands and saying, "Thank you for your understanding, come on, let's have a drink together." ”

The servants were eating fish, drinking and chatting, and the white-clothed merchant seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, let the military master upstairs also come down and drink some." ”

"Upstairs?" The tall sergeant shook his head and said, "There's no one upstairs, just the two of us." ”

"Huh? "No," the merchant in white disagreed, "only two people?" That's too little, isn't it? ”

The tall sergeant took a sip of wine, stretched out and grabbed a piece of hairtail fish, and said to the white-clothed merchant: "There used to be several, but now our General Guan is fighting with Cao's army in Fancheng, and the troops are too small, so they are all transferred from us, basically there are only two people in every sentry tower by the river." ”

"Oh, I see." The white-clothed merchant nodded again and again, "General Guan is really brave, he really wants to congratulate you for beating Cao Jun so badly." ”

The short sergeant shook his head and said, "Yes, after so many victories, I get excited when I think about it, I really hope to go to Fancheng with General Guan, but it's a pity—"

The white-clothed merchant hurriedly asked, "What is the pity?" ”

The short sergeant said: "It's a pity that we have to guard against Jiangdong, what kind of Lu Meng, he wanted to sneak attack our Baqiu before, but fortunately we were prepared and beat him away." ”

The tall sergeant picked up a piece of ribbon fish and stuffed it into the short sergeant's mouth: "Eat your fish!" Don't look at people when you speak, this guest officer is from Jiangdong, why are you mentioning this in front of people. ”

The white-clothed merchant hurriedly said: "This is all their official business, we are in business, we don't care about this, besides, now Jiangxia is in charge of General Lu Xun, and he can admire General Guan." I heard that he often said to the soldiers that he would unite to resist Cao, be friendly with Jing Wu, and be prosperous with Jing Wu? ”

The tall sergeant picked up the bowl: "Okay, let's stop talking about the things that the big guys care about, let's drink our bar." ”

"Master Jun is right, we drink our wine, why do we care so much." The white-clothed merchant picked up the flask and wanted to pour it for himself, but when he shook it, it was empty, "Oh, why is it gone, and this is just starting to drink." ”

"Hey! You two, hurry up and send two more jugs of wine! He got up and went to the window and shouted out to the river.

The short sergeant hurriedly said: "Don't, don't drink, drink too much, you will make a mistake." ”

The white-clothed merchant said: "It's okay, it's okay, or let them send it in, and the two military masters will keep it, and drink it when they want to?" ”

"Bang, Bang, Bang!" There was a knock on the door, and someone outside the door shouted, "Master, the wine is here!" ”

"I'll open the door, I'll open the door, the two military masters sit and drink slowly." The merchant in white got up and went over to remove the deadbolt.

As soon as the door was opened, it was violently pushed open, and more than a dozen Jiangdong sergeants in military uniforms rushed in, and a few knives were put on the necks of the two Jingzhou sergeants.

The two of them were stunned, when did so many enemies come here, why didn't there be any movement at all?

"Tie it up!" The white-clothed merchant asked the two of them to be tied up firmly, but he stood at the door by himself, "The smell of your fishy body is really too heavy."

Those Jiangdong sergeants were very dissatisfied: "Why don't you change us to pretend to be merchants, and you can try it in that warehouse for a day?" ”

It turns out that they are hiding in those stinky fish! The two Jingzhou sergeants scolded themselves for being frightened, why didn't they go up and search carefully.

The man in white was choked by the others, and he didn't talk back, and walked up to the two: "Two brothers, I'm sorry, there is no feast in the world for nothing, after eating my fish and drinking my wine, this place has to belong to us." ”

"You liar!" The tall sergeant scolded at him.

"Hahaha!" The man in white shook his head, "No way, who told you to be so easy to deceive?" ”

The short sergeant gritted his teeth and lowered his head silently, thinking to himself that you should not be complacent, it was almost time to send a message, and if there was no message from there, someone would rush over immediately.

Unexpectedly, the man in white walked up to an officer, bowed his hand and said, "My lord, it's almost time for them to send a signal." ”

It turns out that he is not the official among these people, no wonder he didn't dare to fight back when he was choked just now.

The short soldier couldn't believe it: "Impossible, how can you even know this?" ”

The man in white walked up to him, held his chin with his hand, and smirked, "How could we not know? You send the same signal every day, even if you are a fool, you can recite it. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that you have only two people left in each place now, what a waste of our troops." He still has some unfinished business.

The leader of the official shouted: "Don't talk nonsense with them, since it's about time, go up and send a signal, if we don't succeed in the front, and we don't send a signal here, our plan will be exposed." ”

The man in white hurriedly replied: "I'll go now, don't be angry, I just think they are too easy to deceive, thinking that we are about to win a big victory, I am just happy." I—I'll go up. ”

Before dawn the next day, thousands of Jiangdong warships sailed quickly from the river to Jiangling. (To be continued.) )
