"Shopkeeper, come to ten jars to burn knives, use the largest jar to pack, and ask your buddy to send it to me!" The man waved his hand in a haughty manner.

"Okay, wait a minute." When the shopkeeper saw him, he looked like an old acquaintance: "Why do you suddenly want so much wine today?" ”

"Brothers, it's time to leave when they're done in the past two days, and while they're still here, let's have another drink." The man smiled and chatted with the boss, "Who told the shopkeeper that the wine is enough to gluttony?" ”

Buying so much alcohol in one go, if it is not for the large number of people who drink it, it is of other use. And looking at the attitude of this boss, this person is already a frequent customer of the tavern, is this this person simply good wine or deliberate? I was in a trance, and the shopkeeper at the counter had already called out, "Girl! It's your turn, why don't you move, what kind of wine do you want? ”

"Ahh I'm sorry," I walked a few steps to the counter and said with a smile, "I have a handkerchief, and I got married here the year before last." It's her birthday in a few days, and it just so happens that I rarely come to visit her, and I want to buy some wine. ”

"Suitable for women? You've come to the right place! The shopkeeper said with a smile, "On weekdays, the girl's family loves fruit wine made of grapes, loquats, and strawberries, and it is sweet and not on the top; If you don't like to eat fruits, there are mare's milk wine and osmanthus stuffed, which are also refreshing and delicious. ”

"Osmanthus stuffed, will it smell like osmanthus when you drink it?" I was excited: "Then I want an altar!" ”

"Naturally, girl, let me tell you, after drinking my family's osmanthus brew, I guarantee that you want to come a second time." The tavern keeper smiled and asked the man to drink.

I looked fresh, looked behind the counter, and then looked at Prince Yi's subordinates who were still leading the tavern guys to push the cart outside with burning knives, "The shopkeeper, who is this?" I've never seen anyone buy so much wine at once, can you finish drinking it? ”

"That man, a little steward in a merchant convoy."

"Their caravan was originally going to Dasheng Pass to do business, isn't this fighting with Beirong before, the receiver can't come, and it's not safe to stay there with a big cart of goods, so go back to Feixia Pass to avoid it." The shopkeeper handed me the finished wine bag and replied, "There are a lot of people in their convoy who like to drink, and they have nothing to do here, so they come to sit in my tavern every once in a while." However, the British duke didn't beat the Tartars to surrender a few days ago, and I guess they will either go back on the road or go home in the next two days. ”

"I can't complain." I smiled and agreed, "I can't wait to live in this tavern just by smelling the smell of your wine, and now that I'm leaving, can I drink a few more jars?" ”

"The girl is really good at talking," the boss said with a smile, "This is the biggest tavern in Liuyun City, if I go to another house, I will choke on so much wine at once!" ”

I thanked the boss and walked out of the tavern with the wine, just as the guy had loaded all the ten jars of soju into the car. I pretended to find out the road to the West Market, followed the car from a distance, and after I wrote down the direction and general route of the car, I followed the flow of people out of the market, and deliberately picked the most remote entrance to Dongying, which is not usually walked.

The East Camp and the South Camp are next to each other, and the East Camp is the location of various materials such as military rations and uniforms and logistics support troops, and the tents for cooking are also here; Due to the composition of the personnel, the defense of the southern battalion is weaker than that of the other three battalions, and if someone wants to sneak attack this large battalion like an iron bucket, these two places are the seams that are most likely to be chiseled open.

I have already seen the conflict between Prince Yi and the Gu family in Dingyan City, and now his subordinates are stranded in Feixia Pass and do not return, so they really have to guard against it.

After entering the camp, I immediately went to Nanying to find Sun Shuyan, at this time he and a few medical soldiers were carrying a large bucket to deliver soup to the veterans in the camp, and they were a little surprised to see me appear.

I smiled and bowed generously to them, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not early, where are you going?" ”

Sun Shuyan said, "What about sending medicine, in our southern camp, most of the veterans who have retired from the battlefield have worked hard, and many of them have the root cause of the perennial battle." ”

"Nanying doesn't go to the battlefield, and there are no wounded in peacetime, so we military doctors are working the health and fitness of veterans. Every three or five days, boil some medicinal soup, or soothe menstruation and invigorate the blood, or strengthen the body and qi, and send them to a camp tent and a camp tent. ”

"You really have a heart." I complimented, "What kind of recipe is this?" ”

"Those that soothe the meridians, angelica, cinnamon branches, shengdi, and zeeland, boil them with boiling water to soak their feet, and the effect is the best." Sun Shuyan said, "Do you want to take a look?" ”

I lifted the lid on the wooden barrel, scooped some decoction with a scoop of water, sniffed it closely, and looked at the color again, "It's good, it's just that there are more sumu when decocting the medicinal soup, and Zelan is late." ”

"Miss Shen, you are really godly, I can't complain that my second brother's temper still gets along with you."

"Sun Gongzi, there is one thing I need your help with." I said, "Today, I went out of the camp, and when I was walking around the market, many people talked about the recent thefts of many people in this Liuyun City, and it was all at night, so you have to be careful." ”

"What, and this?" Sun Shuyan was puzzled: "I went out yesterday, why didn't I hear anyone say this?" ”

"It is better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have." I said, "There are many veterans and military dependents in the southern camp, and the people are more mixed than the other three battalions. It's better to remind the veterans and them to be more attentive. ”

Sun Shuyan nodded again and again, "What you said is reasonable, when we send the decoction, we will talk to them a lot, and now the horizontal and vertical are about to open, and they will not be tired of guarding for a few days." ”

A medical soldier who followed heard it and said, "Dongying is not far from us, I will also go to remind Uncle Jiang and the brother guarding the arsenal that rats are drilled into the rice pile." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, brother soldier." I laughed and said, "Then I'm not going to delay your time here, see you later." ”

After doing this, I hurriedly ran to find Chen Yi and told him the truth about the meeting of King Yi's subordinates in the bazaar.

Chen Yi's eyes tightened when he heard this: "Are you sure you are seeing Yiwang's people?" ”

"I can't be mistaken, the faces of those people left me with too deep a shadow at that time!" I said, "Although I was wearing a veil at the time and dressed very differently from now, I was afraid of startling the snake and fearing that he would really remember me, so I didn't keep following me." ”

"It's enough to know the general direction." Chen Yi smiled: "The most important thing is that you are safe and sound." ”

"I just asked Sun Shuyan to say hello to the people in Nanying and Dongying, after all, it is easier for them to attack the supplies and the old, weak, sick and disabled."

Chen Yi said to me softly, "You did the right thing. As he spoke, his expression became serious, "Tonight may be very "lively", you should stay in the tent and don't move around at will. ”

"Okay."

This night, the Gu family's army camp was much more noisy than usual, I was lying on the bed, holding the arrow in my sleeve in my hand, always worried about whether someone would break in, so I opened my eyes to the sound of the soldiers' footsteps until dawn.

The next day, I got up, dressed, and washed up without feeling sleepy at all. If I had gone to the tent at this time, I might have been the first person in the camp to have breakfast.

Thinking of the scene of last night, I don't know if there will be danger when I go out, and when I hesitate, the door of the tent is suddenly opened.

This scared me so much that I raised my hand to pierce the bamboo arrow at the incoming person. The other party didn't care at all, and his right hand grabbed my wrist lightly and heavily, and the bamboo arrow reached his hand in the blink of an eye; With a gentle sweep of my left hand, I was at his side.

"Ran'er, why are you still doing it to me?" Chenyi's low laughter fell to my ears, and my face heated up.

"Chenyi, you're back, aren't you hurt?"

"Safe and sound, you can rest assured." Chen Yi said, and the arms around me suddenly tightened, as if they were going to embed me in his arms, "It's over, thank you, Ran'er." ”

"If it weren't for you, our Gu Jiajun might have suffered a big blow this time, fortunately, fortunately." Chen Yi said, his head lightly resting on my shoulder, "This time, Sun Shuyan and the others are alert and vigilant, the marshal has already rewarded them, and they all say that Ran'er is the biggest hero." ”

I patted him on the back and said with a smile, "I also found it by accident, and I can only say that it is luck, not a credit." ”

"It's luck to find out, but it's one in a million who uses it properly." Chen Yi said: "This is the power of Ran'er." ”

"I think it must be the heavens that have favored me to bring you to me." Chen Yi looked at me, his eyes full of affection.

I was a little embarrassed to say this, and I subconsciously tilted my head, "That...... You just like me a little more, just like me alone, or I'll be gone. ”

"You dare." He hugged me again and smiled helplessly, "Tell me, where do I have other women?" ”

"I'm so stupid, how would I know?"

"Well, what should I do?" Chen Yi sighed and hugged me tighter.

In the military tent, feelings are reborn.

Later, in the small talk of the soldiers, we knew that this Prince Yi sent his subordinates to stay in Feixia Pass and indeed had bad intentions towards the Gu family's army.

Their original plan was to blackmail the women of the military family in Nanying to cause a riot first, and then set fire to Dongying to create the illusion that the tent had accidentally caught fire; When everyone is busy, they will send killers to infiltrate the camp and hurt people and make trouble. Of course, the killers are not just sent to make a fuss and scare people, and their true intentions are known only to the high-ranking generals involved in the interrogation.

Prince Yi left Dingyan City ahead of schedule and ordered his subordinates to come to Feixia Pass to lurk in Feixia Pass disguised as a convoy of merchants who were not allowed to do business because of the war. In order to hide his eyes, his subordinates hid their blades in the cargo, and from time to time went to the Pang Kee Tavern in the city, that is, the tavern under which I met Prince Yi, to drink and drink as the leader of the caravan.

Pang Ji Tavern is the largest tavern in Liuyun City, and it is the only place where burning knives are sold that are so strong that they can ignite fire. These "merchants" thus give the impression of being a drinker, so as not to make the shrewd bosses suspect their intention to buy alcohol in large quantities.

Since the statement that they were stranded in Feixia Pass due to the war is also reasonable, no one questioned their faces. And the daily conversation with the tavern keeper "confirmed" their identities, and all the plans were seamless, however, they were still a little unlucky, and they met me who came out to wander around.

Now, although these people have been caught in the net, their identities have become a ticking time bomb.

The British did not claim their "mastermind", but only beheaded a few insignificant killers for public display, and the fate of the rest is unknown.

I was indeed a little uneasy in my heart, and after this experience, it was only a matter of time before the conflict between Prince Yi and the Gu family was put on the table.
