When the prospecting team entered the village, it really frightened the villagers. Some of the timid villagers thought that robbers had come to plunder and hid in their cellars. Fortunately, there is such an expert as Chang Shengjun, and he asked everyone to rest in place for the time being, and not to make a mistake. When he came to the only house in the village with a wine banner hanging in front of it, he threw off his saddle and dismounted, and with two soldiers of the Ranger squad, he pushed open the door of the tavern and entered.

When Chang Shengjun and his men walked into the tavern with a body of water, the owner and the proprietress of the tavern were standing behind the counter at a loss, hesitating whether to leave or hide. It's not that they're bold, it's not that they're lucky, it's that there are still three guests in their tavern who are drinking. And these three guests also seem to be extraordinary people, although the tavern owner and the proprietress are a little afraid of the group of people who suddenly enter the village, but they dare not neglect the guests who are drinking, for fear of offending people who should not be offended, and bringing trouble to themselves, so they are in a dilemma for a while. Unlike the panic of the shopkeeper and his wife, the three guests who were drinking did not care about the arrival of Chang Shengjun and the others. The three of them were still sitting there pushing cups and changing glasses, drinking quite freely.

Chang Shengjun entered the door and saw three people drinking at a glance, and his rich social experience told him that although these three people were dressed ordinarily and looked like they were in their twenties, their bearing was extraordinary. The leader of them is good-looking, giving people a sense of grace and dignity, and he is by no means an ordinary person. And judging by their behavior, they look a lot like people in the military. However, although these three people are a little different, Chang Shengjun's external identity at this time is the guard of the caravan, and it is inconvenient to have direct contact with the other party. Second, this area is the border area of the Han Kingdom, and it is common to encounter soldiers. So Chang Shengjun only glanced at them a few more times, then ignored them, and walked straight to the shopkeeper and his wife.

Although the shopkeeper and his wife have not yet figured out Chang Shengjun's identity, they see that he behaves in a regular manner, not like a robber who robs a house, and their hearts are a little more settled. The shopkeeper also stepped forward and said respectfully: "This guest officer, please inside, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel?" ”

Chang Shengjun said: "We have to be sharp, but also live in the hotel. However, before that, there is one more thing I would like to ask the owner's family to help with. ”

When the shopkeeper heard that he wanted him to help, he couldn't help but feel nervous, for fear that these people wanted him to help with some money, so he hurriedly asked, "I wonder if the guest officer needs the villain's help?" ”

Chang Shengjun said: "We are waiting for the caravan from Liao, because of the heavy rain, so we want to take shelter from the rain here. However, it must have been because I came suddenly, and the number of people was relatively large, which caused the people in the village to misunderstand, and it seemed that we and others were regarded as villains, and everyone was closed, and the door was not opened. So, I wanted to ask the shopkeeper's family to help me in the next favor, and I went to talk to the people in the village and borrowed a few rooms for me to wait for shelter from the rain. In addition, if the rain does not stop for a while, we may have to spend the night in the village, and I hope that the shopkeeper's family can explain it to the people in the village. Of course, the money for food and accommodation will never be missing everyone. ”

After listening to Chang Shengjunhe's explanation, and seeing that Chang Shengjun's attitude was very kind, plus he might earn a sum of money for wine and dinner, the tavern owner finally moved his heart and said, "I see." This busy villain can help, but I don't know how many people are in the guest officer's caravan? How many houses do I need to borrow? ”

Chang Shengjun said: "I waited for a total of fifty-two people, with six cars and forty horses. ”

After listening to Chang Shengjun's report, the tavern owner gasped. He heard the neighing of horses from people outside just now, but he just thought that there were a lot of people coming, but he didn't expect that there would be so many horses. There are only about 50 households in this village, and there are about 200 people in total, and now there are suddenly about 50 people living in this village, plus six cars and 40 horses. Therefore, he gave Chang Shengjun a salute and said apologetically: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, there are a total of about 50 households in this Shitai Village, even if all the people have free houses, and they are willing to let the guest officer stay overnight, I am afraid that they will not be able to live in these many people." ”

Chang Shengjun waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "It's okay. We carry a tent with us, and if there is not enough house to live in, we can set up a tent in the open space in the village. It's just that it's pouring rain outside, and if your companions get wet in the rain for a long time, I'm afraid they'll get sick. Therefore, the shopkeeper's house went to talk to the villagers, whether they could spend the night or not, it didn't matter, just let me wait under the house to take shelter from the rain. ”,

Seeing Chang Shengjun speak so politely, the tavern owner was completely uneasy, and while asking his mother-in-law to prepare food for Chang Shengjun, he put on a hat and went out to explain to the villagers that this caravan wanted to take shelter from the rain and stay overnight. Chang Shengjun thanked him and asked the proprietress to prepare more food and boil more hot soup so that the brothers could warm up. The proprietress agreed, and Chang Shengjun turned around and walked out of the tavern, inviting Zeng Zhilin, Yang Xin and others to come in to avoid the rain. Zeng, Yang and the others were very happy to hear that the tavern owner was willing to help, and while letting a few of Lingli's subordinates go to the tavern with the boss, they followed Chang Shengjun into the tavern.

Due to the small size of the tavern, except for the traverser and a few guards, only Chang Shengjun followed in alone, and everyone else waited outside temporarily, waiting for the tavern owner and the villagers to discuss before finding a place to shelter from the rain.

Zeng Zhilin, Yang Xin and others each found a place to sit down, and the proprietress sent food and a jar of wine, and brought several bowls of boiled haode ginger soup to everyone to drive away the cold. Zeng Zhilin and the others thanked the proprietress and then began to eat and drink. While eating, Yang Xin secretly observed the other table of guests in the tavern. As soon as he entered the door of the tavern, the dashing and dignified young man who attracted Chang Shengjun's attention also attracted Yang Xin's attention. He asked Chang Shengjun softly if he could see the young man's origin.

Chang Shengjun also replied softly: "Twenty-five masters, according to the subordinates, although these young people are dressed ordinarily, their words and deeds are full of arrogance, and it is estimated that they should be from the military." Among them, the one wearing the white robe should be the head of the three people, and the two people wearing the green robe next to him should be the person's subordinates or subordinates. This is the junction of Han and Liao, and these people must be officers in a certain pass or fortress, taking advantage of their inappropriate duty to come out to play. ”

Yang Xin nodded after hearing this, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at the three of them again, only to find that the young man in the white robe was also looking at him. This made Yang Xin a little embarrassed, feeling that he was secretly observing and evaluating people he didn't know was found to be embarrassed. Therefore, he could only smile politely at the other party, raise his wine glass and toast the other party, which can be regarded as accompanying the other party. But what Yang Xin didn't expect was that the young man first expressed his kindness with the same smile, and then got up and walked towards their table.

Seeing the young man coming over, Yang Xin and the others couldn't sit anymore, everyone got up one after another, and before Yang Xin could speak, the young man hugged his fists and said, "Under Liu Jiye, dare to ask the name of the strong man?" ”

Seeing that the young man was so cheerful, he came over and reported to himself. Yang Xin and others also admired such a man, and they also returned the salute and reported their names. However, after all the traversers, including Yu Wende, turned the three words "Liu Jiye" in their minds twice, they all thought of another name associated with this name that was familiar to Chinese in previous lives - Yang Jiye. Not to mention Yang Xin, a soldier who likes military history, even Yu Wende, who doesn't know much about history, has some impressions of this almost household name in China through storytelling, knowing that the original name of Yang Jiye was Yang Ye, and he was later given the surname Liu by the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty and changed his name to Jiye.

In a sense, if this person is indeed the famous Yang Linggong Yang Invincible, then this is the first time that the Travelers have met a well-known historical figure in their previous life since they crossed over. Thinking of this, several traversers were a little excited. However, excitement is excitement, but you can't show it too much on your face. What's more, there are many people with the same name and surname in this world, who can be sure that this is the Yang Jiye that everyone knows.

So, after a short period of excitement, Yang Xin was the first to come back to his senses, he slightly recalled the resume of Yang Jiye (Liu Jiye) that he knew, and compared the age of the young man in front of him with the information in his memory, and probably presumed that if this person is really Yang Jiye (Liu Jiye), then he should be in the Northern Han Dynasty not long now, and he will probably still serve as a security commander. In order to determine whether the other party is the Yang Jiye (Liu Jiye) he thinks, Yang Xin decided to have a good chat with the other party, so he stretched out his hand and asked: "As the so-called 'please is better than chance meeting', everyone is a young person, why don't you have a few drinks together, what does Liu Zhuangshi think?" ”

Liu Jiye gladly accepted Yang Xin's invitation, and while beckoning his companions to come over, he introduced the names of his companions to Yang Xin and others - Yang Xing and Yang Sheng.

After everyone sat down again, without waiting for Yang Xin to ask questions to test Liu Jiye's identity, Chang Shengjun next to him had already hugged Liu Jiye and said: "Liu Zhuangshi, when I was begging for a life in the Han Kingdom before, I heard that there was a small general in the Han court, originally named Yang Chonggui, and later changed his name to Yang Ye. This Xiao Yang general was favored by the Son of Heaven of the Han Kingdom because of his young heroism and bravery, and he was adopted as his grandson, given the surname Liu, and changed his name to Jiye. I don't know ......."

Chang Shengjun's later words were not spoken, but the meaning was already clearly expressed. This question for him was exactly what several traversers wanted to ask, so Yang Xin and the others also focused their eyes on this Liu Jiye, waiting for his answer.

This Liu Jiye was stunned by Chang Shengjun's question, he thought that among the businessmen from Liao, no one would know so much about the affairs in the Han court, so he directly reported his real name. I didn't expect that a subordinate on the other side who looked like the leader of the guards would know so clearly, and from the other masters, they also seemed to understand the origin of Liu Jiye's name, and they were all waiting for their answers.

Liu Jiye thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no need to tell a lie in front of a real person, since the other party had already raised questions, it was not a husband's behavior to deny it. So, he hugged his fist to Chang Shengjun and said generously: "Yes, the young general is the Liu Jiye that Chang Zhuangshi said." ”
