Chapter 344: The Smell of Flowers and Wine

Bo Xiao and Gui Ruotong successfully escaped, but Tan Zhou was blocked in the winery by Liangqing.

Even if Liangqing arrived in time, Tan Zhou might not leave Weizang to find another place to hide. The streets were full of Xu Younanbu's eyeliner, and he had no chance of disappearing silently. Moreover, being targeted by the Ming Palace, Changjiabao and Huxiao Camp at the same time, Chuzhou City is no longer safe for Tan Zhou.

When Mu Dianke whispered to Qianyu, Liangqing turned around and continued to draw with charcoal on a huge piece of papyrus spread out.

said that he was painting, but his momentum was comparable to that of a knife, his arms were wide open, and he was as strong as flying. The pen falls on the straw paper, making a fine rustling sound, such as spring silkworms gnawing mulberry leaves, drizzling rain sieving plantains, moving people. Picture and sound are diametrically opposed.

Mu Dianke walked over.

I saw that Liangqing drew a set of six house layout drawings. Judging from the shape of the road on the outside and the surrounding environment shown in the first picture, it is the Mikura winery they are in.

The winery has a total of five courtyards, the first three courtyards are three floors, the gap is quite narrow, and the word "eye" is synthesized. These three courtyards are the places of welcome and reception, with a wine room, a tea room, a number of mining rooms, the size of the room is different, the doors and windows are cleverly arranged, and they are arranged in a staggered manner, which is very private.

The site of the latter two courtyards has been widened, and the houses are all single-storey. Different from the narrow and dense house pattern of the first three courtyards, the houses in the second courtyard do not have partition walls, forming four corridors that connect with each other, one leading to the end, which is quite tall and wide.

The two houses combined the word "曰". It is a place to store wine.

There is a wide bamboo forest water barrier between the front and rear courtyards, separating the front and back yards, and distinguishing them clearly.

Both the front and back courtyards have cellars underneath. Most of them are single-layered, partially double-layered, connected by steps, and there are stone roads in which I don't know the number, or horizontal or oblique, staggered and connected, making people dizzy.

Jinyi Xing has always transmitted messages quickly, and after Xu Younan received the information, he deliberately delayed for a moment before calling Mu Dianke to accompany him. Judging from the tragic battle situation he described, Liangqing obviously didn't arrive immediately, but waited for Bajun and Tan Zhou to fight almost before Shanshan came over to clean up the mess. At most, it occupies a geographical advantage, and it is a quarter and a half minutes earlier than Mu Dianke.

And this effort is obviously not something that can be achieved in a moment.

"When I was besieging Tan Lang, I went to this winery to explore the terrain." Although he didn't look up, Liangqing also sensed Mu Dianke's doubts, and said lightly: "It's a pity that I didn't find out that there was a dark room underground at that time. ”

Both ends of the tunnel under Tan's house were doused with copper paste and iron juice by iron guards, and it was impossible to make a passage from the winery to Tan's house. But dozens of people in Tan Zhou's entourage disappeared without a trace, and only one explanation was that there was another world under the winery.

"Here." Liangqing pointed to the wine cellar map under the courtyard and said: "This is a two-story underground wine cellar, the stone wall on the south side is a machine wall, and there is a stainless steel door inside, and Tan Zhou entered the underground dark room through this door.

The trap that opens this door can only be triggered once, and it will be destroyed once it is activated.

I tried slashing with my knife, but the sound was impermeable, and after at least a foot was halfway through, it was almost impossible to pry the door open from the outside with brute force. ”

Liangqing said that there was no way, so it should be really no way.

"Can't you find another entrance?"

The cunning rabbit still has three caves, since Tan Zhou has bothered to create such a secret and peerless dark room, he will not only leave a passage for himself to live.

In case the mechanism fails; In case he was blocked and couldn't get to the cellar of the courtyard, this could happen.

"I don't know." "Even if there is, it's hard to find. The cellar was full of vats, and we would not have been able to find the door if it had not been for the shattering of the jar that covered the stone wall. ”

It takes a lot of time to remove all the wine cellars from the cellar, and breaking them all can turn the cellar into a wine pool, which is even more troublesome.

Tan Zhou did give them a difficult problem to deal with.

"I'll take a look." Mu Dianke said.

She believes that Liangqing believes in Liangqing, after all, she has to see it with her own eyes before she can make a judgment. She always believes that in this world, as long as you are sincere, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.

"I'll go with Miss Four." Liangqing also followed.

There is nothing special about the first three courtyards, stacked stones and flowing springs, garden plants and potted flowers, and winding corridors and hidden paths, which are common courtyard layouts in the Jianghuai area. It's just that after a fierce battle, there are stumps and broken bodies everywhere, blood stains everywhere, flowers and plants stained with dirt, and the unique charm and elegance of the courtyard are completely lost.

After passing through the third and fourth courtyards only to see a dense bamboo forest with water, the style of the house becomes strange, with high columns and broad beams, deep wing eaves, and heavy foundation stones, which is quite similar to the construction technique of Luoyang, Chang'an.

In the open yard, the wooden fence is sandwiched into a long and narrow belt of flowers and trees, there are red, yellow and purple, some new hair, some will be decadent, lush and prosperous together as a whole piece, with the slightly cold wet wind in the early morning to send a rich and pungent fragrance of flowers, awe-inspiring people wake up.

Mu Dian frowned unconsciously, looked around, and saw that the houses in the courtyard were indeed as drawn by the drawings of Liangqing, and there was no separation between them, connected into a long strip, and the height of the floors was too large, which did not look like houses, but like a covered road.

Open doors and windows reveal densely spread hardwood wine shelves inside. The distance between the wine rack and the wine rack is only half a person, but it is eleven or twelve feet high, and it is full of pot-bellied and wide-mouthed ceramic wine urns, sealed with brown paper.

The wine cellar is so vast that you don't smell the wine when you are in it. It was all because the smell of flowers and trees in the courtyard was covered.

The so-called taste storage, the taste of wine, should be taken from this meaning.

Mu Dianke originally lived in Yunjiazhuang under the pretense of Yunlin's identity, and wandered in southern Sichuan for a while, and was familiar with the local humanities and customs. Because of the low-lying terrain in Sichuan and Shu, the smoke miasma is pervasive all year round, and the local people plant crops such as pepper and small Huaixiang in order to remove the cold and dampness in the body.

She knows the sporadic umbrella small yellow flower, it is Xiao Huaixiang, and the star anise green fruit hanging on the plant is also familiar, when it is star anise, the others are not recognized.

If you don't know it, you can see that it is not poisonous.

"Let people go back to Huairentang and call Archie to come." Liangqing said lightly on the side: "Archie is good at studying flowers, plants, insects and birds, so he should know it." ”

Mu Dianke nodded. She doesn't doubt this, in the Tai'an Inn in Qingshui Town, Chang Qi wants to test her medicinal habits, and her confident appearance is not like pretending.

When you go down to the cellar, the aroma of the wine thickens.

Valley wine, bud rice wine, flower carving, spring mash, bamboo leaf green, all kinds of colors. They are stored in large vats on both sides of the stone path. The wall is in the form of a ladder and obliquely builds a stone platform, its width is just enough to accommodate a wine urn with a diameter of ten inches, the mouth of the urn is covered with red cloth soft mud, layer by layer of barriers, I don't know the geometric number.

There is no exposed wall on the top, and the ground is open on the lower part, and it is a difficult project to find the location of the organ in such a large area of wine sea pottery forest.

"Judging by the scale of this cellar, it was not built overnight."

Mu Dian was speechless and said: "How many bad things did Tan Zhou's guy do, so he thought of building such a tomb for himself in his hometown early." ”

Tomb...... There seemed to be a thought in her head, too fast to grasp.

Mu Dianke frowned in annoyance.

Liangqing was keenly aware of her abnormality: "What's wrong with Fourth Miss?" ”

"Nothing?" Mu Dianke shook his head: "It seems that I suddenly thought of something, and suddenly forgot about it." ”
