247. Chapter 247
Chi Shui glanced at Wu Zhiyan and said, "What I have seen in the past few days is that the epidemic in the other party's military camp is also the same as in our camp, and the epidemic in our camp is not weak but strong, and the other party is the same, so-"
"So what? We already know that the other party is suffering from this epidemic like us, what kind of information is this?"
"I said Master Wu, can you listen to me," Chi Shui looked at Wu Zhiyan lazily, stunned, and said, "I don't remember what I said-by the way, did you supply a new batch of marching straw mats into the camp the day before yesterday?"
"Yes, there is such a thing. β
"Then you'd better have your subordinates gather all the new straw mats in one place, by the way, the more low-key the better. β
Wu Zhiyan was taken aback: "How do you know that it is the reason for those straw mats, not the water source and food?"
"Because of the coincidence, both our army and the enemy army have transported a batch of straw mats into the camp in the past few days, and then the symptoms of the epidemic in the barracks of both armies have deepened," said Chishui, "Think about it, we share food and water with the soldiers, why are all the soldiers infected with the disease, but you and I are not?"
"When you say that, I think about it, not long after the epidemic, all the straw mats of our army were wet and foul-smelling, and at that time I also said that it was caused by the humid climate," Wu Zhiyan said indignantly, "Since you have found the root, you still keep a low profile! Lao Tzu pulled all those things out of the camp and set them on fire! Just to let the turtle grandson see that they will also be burned by Lao Tzu like their little tricks!"
"And then, let the rest of the 'turtle sun' find another way?" Chi Shui said in Wu Zhiyan's tone, "Then let's go back and forth to explore the camp to find out the mystery?"
Wu Zhiyan was stunned for a while by Chishui.
"There is a saying in the military book that 'lure the snake out of the hole', we just need to quietly take back those straw mats, and then send a letter to the supply camp, saying that the straw mats are not properly kept and there is a tide, and let them send another batch," Chi Shui softened his tone and said, "Then we will wait for the person who brings the straw mats, is that not good?"
General Wu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded convincingly, and replied, "I'll have people gather all the straw mats in the camp later." β

Chen Yin had already separated from the carriage, and he entered the antique market alone, and after making sure that no one was following, he quietly detoured back to the avenue and rushed to the inn.
As Xufeng Chenhui said, Puxu and they are indeed in the inn.
Seeing Chen Yin, neither of them was surprised at all, and quickly introduced him into the house.
"Brother Chen, what are the orders of the third prince?" Pu Xuan seemed to have been waiting for Chen Yin.
Chen Yin wanted to ask why the two of them were still in the inn, but after thinking about it, he forgot it: "Well, the third prince said that the time is coming, let Brother Puxu take action." β
Although there was only a moment when these words were spoken, Chen Yin clearly captured the fear and uneasiness that flashed in the expressions of the two people opposite.
"I also asked Brother Chen to go back and give the third prince his life, we know. Puxu quickly adjusted his mood and said.
Chen Yin fiddled with the tea bowl on the table, and after thinking twice, asked: "Brother Puxu, I want to know what the third prince wants you to do, since you came out of Dinghua Mountain, although we say that we are all the way, but I don't know much about your plans at all." β
"Brother Chen, if you believe me, don't think too much, don't ask too much," Pu Xuan seemed to know that Chen Yin would ask this, and had prepared a set of explanations, as soon as Chen Yin asked, he replied without hesitation, "After that, the third prince will definitely explain everything to you from beginning to end." β
"Since Brother Puxu said so, I hope so," even though he expected the other party to refuse so politely, Chen Yin was still a little disappointed, but he remembered that he was pressed for time and had to buy some antiques for those subordinates to make a show, so he didn't ask any more, "Two, I'll take the first step, and I'll go and help the third prince buy some things." β
"Please. β
As soon as Chen Yin left the room, he could still feel that the breath of the two people in the room was not as smooth as before he entered. It seems that the words he brought the three princes played a role, and it was the first time he felt the instability of the breath of the two people, and after thinking about it like this, he was even more curious about what he wanted them to do, so that these two big men who had always been as calm as ice showed that kind of fear.
pondered all the way, although I didn't figure out a reason, but I also got to the place where I should go.
As soon as the antique market in Beijing opened, it was already crowded with people, with stalls and wooden tables on both sides of the street lined with a dazzling array of jade porcelain, calligraphy, paintings, piano sets, and some strange and inexplicable things.
The noisy sound of the market made Chen Yin very uncomfortable, he didn't want to squeeze in anymore, so he found a random one at the entrance of the market, and when he got closer, he saw that it was selling calligraphy and paintings.
"Guest, good eyesight! Although my calligraphy and paintings here are not necessarily genuine, they are the one with the most genuine goods in the entire antique bazaar," the merchant was full of spirit, picked up seven or eight pairs of calligraphy and paintings from the table, and said, "You are my first guest today, and I will not give you a damn, these few copies in my hand are copies of the Jianghu people, and the restβ"
The merchant crackled and kept talking, Chen Yin didn't listen to a word, on the surface he kept nodding his head, and looked at the calligraphy and painting seriously, but in fact, the whole person's attention was on the stall next door.
"Then you kid has hit the shit today! You have just set up a stall, you can pack up and go home!" said the porcelain vendor jealously to the tobacco seller next to him.
"It depends on what you say, it's luck, Lord Liu is my old customer, and this time I'm just ordering tobacco early," said the tobacco vendor, cleaning up his stall, "as if my tobacco can't be sold at all like your broken porcelain." β
"Hey!" the porcelain merchant hurriedly laughed, "I'll tell you a joke, you're so angry, but seriously, why did that Lord Liu call someone to collect tobacco so early today?"
"The emperor Lao'er didn't go to court early today, and Xiaofu, who ran errands in Liu's mansion, said that it was temporarily canceled, and I don't know what is going on in the imperial city. The tobacco vendor thought his voice was very quiet.
"It doesn't matter what you do, anyway, don't get the war into our capital," the porcelain merchant did not shy away from talking about royal affairs, "Have you heard, the emperor's third son has returned to the capital, I guess the emperor is definitely dying, and he must hurry up to find someone to pass on the throne, the eldest son is not angry, and the second son ran away again, but he can only hope for these three sons, so he didn't go to the early dynasty, hum, there was an accident at the border pass, and now he is very shrewd!"
"You don't want to live anymore," the tobacco vendor looked around in fright, "The more you talk about it, the more unreliable it becomes, don't say it, I'll deliver it to Master Liu." β
Chen Yin put two ingots of silver on the table, and said to the calligraphy and painting dealer absentmindedly: "At this price, you can wrap me ten pairs of calligraphy and painting at will." β
When the calligraphy and painting dealer saw this, his face was almost smiling, and while he was choosing calligraphy and painting, he praised his goods like a river.
Chen Yin still didn't listen to a word, and what the two traders talked about just now made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.
