Qujian Gorge, two mountains sandwich a water, standing on a high place to look as if the mountain was split by someone with a sharp blade, it looks extremely dangerous, and the bottom of the river is full of reefs, whirlpools, it is really a dangerous place, but the canal and the gorge runs through the Grand Canal is a necessary place for shipping, and the imperial courts of all dynasties can only think of dredging to keep shipping. After the founding of the Great Chu, the first emperor created a peaceful and prosperous era with the help of the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, he spent great efforts and manpower to dredge the river, and specially sent a sentry and horses to garrison the canal and the gorge to deter those young people, but the officials and bandits have always been an inexplicable topic, as long as they don't do too much, they will pass with one eye open and one eye closed.

In the evening, the camp of the canal stream should have been peaceful for a long time, or this continuous autumn rain, the sergeant on duty stood listlessly on the sentry tower, secretly scolding this ghost weather. Suddenly, seeing a figure approaching in the distance, the sergeant on duty instantly straightened up, but when he saw the long line clearly, the sergeant on duty didn't know how the convoy of supplies was delivered, he immediately loosened, a smile appeared on his face, and without waiting for the convoy to enter, he waved his hand and motioned to the doorman below to open the door.

It didn't take long for the convoy to drive to the door, and the old man at the front rushed to the sergeant on duty at the door, and said with a smile: "General Wang, are you on duty today?" Without waiting for the sergeant on duty to answer, the old man took out a jar of wine from the car and handed it over, and then said, "It's cold, brothers, drink some wine to warm up." ”

Although the Great Chu Military Law does not stipulate that alcohol is not allowed in the barracks, the soldiers on duty are strictly ordered not to touch alcohol, but here, the soldiers on duty happily caught the wine jar and said with a smile: "Old Chen, is it too late this time?" ”

The old man laughed, opened his mouth and said: "It's not that it's rainy, the road is full of mud, and the carriage is not easy to walk, you look at these brothers again, their clothes are soaked, if it weren't for the military masters to keep one side safe, we wouldn't have suffered this kind of crime." ”

Glancing at the convoy, more than a dozen carriages, and more than 20 sturdy men, all dressed in thick rain can't see their faces clearly, not to mention that the sergeant on duty has no intention of looking closely, his mind flies to the wine, and he waved his hand directly and said: "Hurry in, unload and leave early." In the next two days, the Governor of the Metropolitan will pass through the Qujian Gorge. ”

"I know, I know, thank you General Wang." He saluted the guards with his fists, and the old man waved his whip and drove the ox cart into the barracks, even saving the inspection. When the convoy passed through the gatehouse, the sergeant below shouted: "Stone, come down and drink a sip of wine to warm up, this bad weather, I don't know when it will be better." Come on, come and take two sips. ”

In the shouting of the sergeant surnamed Wang, several sergeants gathered and began to enjoy the wine, and the stomach was really warm after a sip of strong wine. Meimei poured a sip of wine, and the sergeant surnamed Wang opened his mouth and said: "Just drink two sips to warm your body, don't drink too much, if you are discovered by the general, you will inevitably have a military stick." The Metropolitan Governor is rushing back to Pingjiang Mansion, counting the time, it is almost there, and I haven't seen the past few days, and several generals have settled down. ”

When the words of the sergeant surnamed Wang fell, a sergeant laughed and said: "Wang Tou, after these two days, I took my brothers to Xiangxian County to have fun, and I have been holding back for a month." ”

Suddenly, the sergeant surnamed Wang raised his leg and kicked over, although he kicked it empty, the sergeant surnamed Wang was not disappointed, and said with a smile: "You kid, sooner or later you will die on the belly of a woman." After a pause at this, the sergeant surnamed Wang said all day: "Okay, don't drink anymore, if you are caught by the general, no one can save you." ”

"This is heaven-breaking, can the general come out?" Muttering like this, all the sergeants returned to their posts, but they were still listless, and no one noticed that a group of men in black quietly approached the camp through the rain curtain and surrounded the camp.

Old Chen Tou skillfully brought the convoy to the back camp, glanced at the sturdy man on his side, and shouted: "Little Liu, move all the grain into the warehouse, be careful, don't get wet." After finishing speaking, Old Chen took a jar of wine from the carriage, walked into the steaming kitchen, and smiled at the fat man: "Brother Feng, are you busy?" As he spoke, Old Chen Tou put the wine jar aside.

The fat man surnamed Feng was wielding a spatula, glancing at the old man Chen, especially when he saw the word Yuan Ji on the wine altar, a light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "Coming?" Let's have a good chat with our brothers in a while, General Zhang, Mr. Guo, and Team Yao are waiting for the snacks. ”

Old man Chen loosened his nose and sniffed hard, and said, "It's really fragrant, my brother's craftsmanship is good again." Fried kidney flower with green onions, is this a soft-shelled turtle soup? While speaking, Old Man Chen opened the lid of the pot and looked at it, and then glanced at the fat man surnamed Feng, and the two laughed at the same time, it seemed that everything was in plain sight, but when the attention of the fat man surnamed Feng was attracted, Old Man Chen commanded with his hand, and he didn't know what fell into the pot.

Quietly doing all this, Old Man Chen closed the lid of the pot again, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, you are busy, brother will leave in a while, today the rain is delayed, I'm afraid it will be half the night when I go back." ”

Feng Fatzi said: "It's okay, the camp has been on guard for the past two days, my brother won't keep you, Lao Chen, you come back early, let's have a drink next time." ”

After shouting hello, Old Man Chen opened his mouth and said, "Brother Feng said so, when my brother comes next time, I will bring two jars of good wine and accompany Brother Feng to have a good drink." Okay, Brother Feng, you are busy, brother watched the unloading, those people were careless, don't spoil the dishes. ”

Seeing that Old Man Chen was about to leave, Fat Feng shouted, "Slow." ”

Hearing Feng Fatzi's shouting, Old Man Chen paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but when he turned around, his face was already full of smiles, and he said with a smile: "Brother Feng, is there anything else?" ”

At this moment, Feng Fatzi had already fried the green onion and kidney flower, poured it into the plate and said at the same time: "Old Chen, help the old brother pour out the soup and send it to the big tent." Speaking of which, he left the jar of Yuan Ji brewed bamboo leaves, although there was reluctance in his eyes, he still picked up the wine, opened his mouth and said: "This jar of wine is also given to the general." ”

Hearing Feng Fatzi say this, Old Man Chen was overjoyed in his heart and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, brother, wait a minute." This time I came in a hurry, so I prepared an altar, and next time I will bring two more altars to my brother. ”

Feng Fatzi's last sentence was deliberately said to Old Man Chen, seeing that he was so knowledgeable, he laughed, opened his mouth and said: "Let's go, today I see that General Zhang is on the rise, I can't say any good." ”

Soon, Feng Fatzi and Old Man Chen rushed to the big tent and walked in directly. The man sitting at the top looked about fifty, short in stature, dark skin, ordinary and even a little ugly, and a long scar on his cheek was even more hideous, it was Zhang Zhonglei, the commander of the Qujian battalion. Zhang Zhonglei enlisted in the army as a young man, but soon after enlisting in the army, the world calmed down, followed the captain of the god machine to guard the south of the Yangtze River, until the first battle of Mobei was considered to be mixed with some military merits to become a sentinel commander, but the appearance was ugly in the Mobei battlefield and was disfigured by the knife, not to mention the general's love, so he threw him to the Qujian camp to be out of sight, Zhang Zhonglei didn't bother to look at their faces, not to mention the existence of the Tu Emperor in the Qujian camp for seven or eight years.

Seeing Zhang Zhonglei, the smile on Feng Fatzi's face became more and more flattering, and he bowed down and responded: "General, green onion fried waist flower, soft-shelled turtle soup, and this altar of bamboo leaf green, Yuan Ji aging, just brought from Pingjiang Mansion." ”

Since walking into the big tent, Old Man Chen bent down and said with a smile: "The little one has seen General Zhang, General Guo. ”

Old man Chen came to Qujian Daxing many times to deliver grain and grass, Zhang Zhonglei naturally recognized it, but he didn't bother to take care of him, and opened his mouth to ask: "Is Old Du good?" ”

Old man Chen immediately replied: "Thanks to the general's blessing, everything is fine master, and the little one will bring a message to the general, and he will definitely go to Dongyang County to play when he is free." ”

The Du family is a prominent family in Dongyang County, and a small sentry chief can't get into the eyes of others, Zhang Zhonglei also understands this, and he won't really treat himself as a dish, not to mention that he is old Chen, can he see Du Lao? What a joke. Haha laughed, Zhang Zhonglei opened his mouth and said, "When the time comes, it is indispensable to disturb Du Lao." Come, pour. ”

Old man Chen knew that this was another send-off, so he bowed down and bowed: "General, you are busy, so don't bother the small ones." Bowing down and exiting the big tent, Old Man Chen showed a strange smile, and quickly led the convoy away, but no one noticed that there were a few fewer people when they left, and Old Man Chen and the others did not stay away, but gathered several black-clothed masked people around.

After about a quarter of an hour, Old Man Chen said in a deep voice: "It should be almost, wait for my signal." After finishing speaking, Old Man Chen strode towards the barracks, but this time, the sergeant on duty seemed to be asleep, and Old Man Chen couldn't wake up. Seeing this, Old Man Chen showed a sneer on his face, waved his hand and slapped the heart of the sergeant surnamed Wang, killed him with one palm, and at the same time opened his mouth to let out a birdsong. This was the signal of the attack, and when they got the news, the men in black galloped and soon rushed into the camp of the canal.

At this moment, the camp of the canal stream was silent, many soldiers fell in the rain, and anyone who survived was also killed by the man in black with a palm, and rarely saw blood. It didn't take long for the men in black to clean up the perimeter of the camp, leaving only a few teams of sergeants to guard the tent.

A gust of wind blew, and the raindrops were like sharp arrows piercing everyone's faces, and they didn't want to really shoot sharp arrows, piercing the guard's chest and bringing a splash of blood. After recovering from the initial shock, a guard shouted: "The enemy attacks ......" Before he finished speaking, a feather arrow shot into his throat, but his mouth was wide open, but he fell to the ground, but this shout has awakened the camp of Qu Stream.

Hearing the shouting, Zhang Zhonglei, who was drinking, changed his face slightly, and said in his heart who was so bold to rush to the camp, grab the horizontal knife and run out, but at this moment, the camp tent has been opened. Seeing Old Man Chen, Zhang Zhonglei was stunned at first, and then shouted: "It's you?" Without waiting for Old Man Chen to answer, Zhang Zhonglei shouted: "What a bold man, if you dare to raid the barracks, you are not afraid of the Nine Clans?" ”

Old man Chen laughed, opened his mouth and said, "Zhu Jiu Clan? General Zhang has a big breath, does he really think he is a general? ”

Glaring at Old Man Chen angrily, Zhang Zhonglei shouted: "Come on, take down the traitor." ”

Although Zhang Zhonglei's voice was loud, except for the two people who accompanied him to drink, none of the soldiers came in, but several people in black walked in, Zhang Zhonglei's face was cold, and he shouted: "What happened to them?" ”

Haha laughed, Old Man Chen opened his mouth and replied: "General Zhang's question is really funny, what do you say?" ”

Although there were already speculations, Zhang Zhonglei still couldn't believe it, and asked again: "My big camp is five hundred children." ”

Snorting lightly, Zhang Zhonglei opened his mouth and said, "What does General Zhang think the old man is doing just now, really sending you food?" It's General Zhang, who fell for the old man's ecstasy, and he doesn't know how long he can last. ”

Suddenly hearing that he was poisoned, Zhang Zhonglei was shocked, and when he swung his knife and pounced on Old Man Chen, he fell to the ground from mid-air, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
