"It's strange, this rain doesn't stop......"

In the military camp in the southwest of Banzhou City, the generals who were left in the army by Fu Youde frowned, standing outside the military tent, very dissatisfied with the rain.

His name is Fu Si, and he is Fu Youde's eldest nephew, and he deliberately asked him to stay behind in the cavalry, and together with the Yang family's subordinates, he watched over the grain and grass.

There are nearly 200,000 stone of grain and grass here, which is enough for Fu Youde's army to use for a period of time.

The imperial court was going to go on an expedition to Yunnan, which was destined to be a long-term battle.

Even now, Fu Youde expects that it will take at least a year to successfully take Yunnan and get rid of King Yuanliang.

Although the imperial court strongly supported it, it wanted to mobilize supplies from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the distance was far away, the cost was too large, and it was basically unrealistic, so it could only choose to prepare military supplies from Bashu, Huguang and other places.

But even so, the army marched, and before it entered the battlefield, the daily consumption was astronomical, Fu Youdegui was the general of the expedition to the south, and under the guidance of Zhu Chongba, he commanded the entire battle situation, and he also had to prepare for material logistics.

It can't be, because the materials are not in place and the logistics supply is scarce, which leads to the loss of the whole war, right?!

The battle of Yunnan in Mingping is basically a sure thing, and all parties are in place, which is simply a credit for nothing.

After all, after thirteen years of development, the Ming Dynasty has a strong national strength and a strong military.

But having said that, Fu Youde is still under a lot of pressure.

Once the war is lost, no one can afford the consequences.

Whether he Fu Youde can live or not is a question, so naturally he doesn't dare to be sloppy.

No, the nephews and nephews are all arranged in the Yang military camp to prevent problems with grain and grass.

"The general doesn't have to worry, Qianzhou, the sky is sunny for three days, rain is the norm, it's August now, it's still in the rainy season, and the rain is too normal......

A general of the Yang clan put his hand on Fu Si's shoulder, and the relationship seemed to be very good.

"It's also ~"

Fu Si hooked his shoulders and didn't care too much about the rain.

He has been in Qianzhou for more than a month, and rainy days are common, so it's no surprise.

"Oh, by the way, did the general notice the breath in the rain?"

The Yang general held a glass of wine and asked Fu Si.

As for the wine in his hand, it is Banshu's authentic Moutai.

This thing, used to be a tribute wine, it has been mastered by the Yang family for a long time, and after hundreds of years of optimization and improvement, the taste is becoming more and more mellow, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a peerless wine.

"Well, don't you say that I haven't paid attention to it, I didn't expect your Banshu rain to have the aroma of wine, it's really peculiar......"

Fu Si took a glass of Moutai wine and drank it all in the rainy night, but he didn't care too much about the faint aroma of wine in the rain.

"Harm, nothing peculiar, one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, Banzhou water is the best recipe for winemaking, naturally with the fragrance of wine!"

The generals of the Yang clan were very unimpressed, and they didn't take it seriously, although the rain with the smell of wine was very peculiar, but for the wine capital Banzhou, it was trivial.

"Also, this Moutai is well-known in the Central Plains, and it is hard to find a thousand gold, in Yingtianfu, it is difficult for me to drink a cup, or you Banzhou is good, you can drink it if you want to......"

"Drink!"

"The general wants to drink in the future, just look for me, I will definitely prepare the wine and send it to the general......"

"We don't have any special products in Banzhou, but we have enough wine."

"Drink~"

……

A drizzle lasted for two hours, and it was not until the city gate was about to close that Zhao Cheng rushed to reclaim his equipment and rushed into Banzhou City with his last foot.

The plan has already begun, but burning the grain and grass is only the first step.

Far from over!

Zhao Cheng not only prepared this big gift, but also prepared other small surprises for the Yang family and Fu Youde.

It's time to send a surprise, we can't keep them waiting.

Banshu Castle, Dongcheng District, in a tavern.

"Chen Xi, are you Jinyiwei reliable? It's been a month, and there's no trace of ......."

Qiuyun was wrapped around the store's blanket, wrapped like a penguin, and his two white hands were still exposed, roasting on a charcoal fire.

This is not coal, but a special type of charcoal.

Although the Ming Dynasty has already mined coal, it also has a basic coal washing process, and initially uses this ancient energy source.

However, the application scenarios are not so wide, and the stubborn disease of burning coal will smoke people to death has not been eliminated, and it is generally not burned indoors.

"If it's unreliable, then you can find it yourself, you have to complain a few words all day long, is it over?"

Chen Xi was very impatient, this aunt didn't do anything, she would only complain, which made him very unhappy.

He was very suspicious, even if he really found the gods and demons Zhao Cheng, how could a woman with a character like her gain the trust of the gods and demons?

Does it really depend on her sister-in-law's identity?

Don't make a fuss, it's still a question whether the gods and demons know that he has a sister-in-law!

"Hmph, if you hadn't said that there was news in Banshu, would we have come to Banshu? Isn't it good to follow Old Man Song? What if his brother-in-law contacts him? ”

Qiuyun is not a bag of anger, he can fight without saying a word, although it often ends with his own defeat, but he can't lose his momentum!

What's more, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked her, Chen Xi doesn't dare to really touch her!

Naturally, it was unscrupulous.

"No contact! If there is any contact, Mr. Song has already informed my people and passed on the news. ”

Chen Xi clasped his hands and embroidered the spring knife close to his body, observing the surroundings at all times.

It has been more than two months since they left Ying Tianfu, but the tasks assigned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have no clue at all.

It's not that there is no clue, but there is no clue at all.

There are no clues, no results, how to explain this to Zhu Biao?

Now it is August, and in four months, it will be the fourteenth year of Hongwu.

The time limit given to him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is until the beginning of the fourteenth year of Hongwu.

If you can't find anyone, how can you respond to Tianfu's reinstatement?!

"Can't you just tune in some more? Your Jinyi Wei is famous for tens of thousands of people, why are there only a few? ”

Qiu Yun was very dissatisfied, Jin Yiwei's efficiency was too low.

Moreover, her brother-in-law ran to Qianzhou and Banzhou like this?

If he is in the Central Plains, in Yingtianfu, or in the Bashu region, she can also mobilize the power of the Holy Sect to investigate.

But in Qianzhou, the Holy Sect is not organized!

She wanted to mobilize people, but she couldn't.

If you want to find your brother-in-law Zhao Cheng, you can only rely on Jinyiwei and Chen Xi.

She, basically, is a vase, it is useful when you find someone, and if you can't find someone, then it's useless!

As for whether it is really useful to find people, that's another question.

"Alright, don't complain, it's not a matter of whether I can call it or not.

Now the atmosphere in the southwest is tense, and a large number of Jinyiwei people are preparing for war.

According to the imperial court plan, it is expected that Qujing will be launched at the end of the year, and strive to capture Qujing before the year, and then pacify Yunnan within three months.

I was able to mobilize one person to operate in Banshu, and it was enough that it was impossible to mobilize more people. ”

Chen Xi sighed, and while baking the fire, he looked at the pedestrians outside the tavern through the doors and windows.

He also wanted to find Zhao Cheng as soon as possible, so that he could also give an explanation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As for what would happen after finding Zhao Cheng, that was not a matter for him to consider.

Whether he can satisfy the prince or not, this is not something he can decide!

Outside, the rain stopped, and there were more pedestrians.

Many people wore robes and umbrellas, and raindrops dripped from their coats or umbrellas and fell to the ground.

There are also a few people who don't have rain gear, and they are drenched in the rain, and their bodies are a little wet, and they look quite embarrassed.

"Banju is so big and has such a population, we have to find the Year of the Monkey!"

Qiu Yun drooped her cheeks with both hands, and after two months of no results, she was already on the verge of going berserk.

Brother-in-law, come out quickly, I can't stand it, sister-in-law!

"Search, look for another four months, if I haven't found it for four months, I will return to Tianfu......"

"Four months ?!!"

Qiuyun is even more distressed, she can't stand it in two months, and two more "two months", isn't this going to kill her!

"Huh?"

Chen Xi frowned suddenly, the guy who had just passed by had a familiar back.

"Don't get out of the way!"

He took a knife and peeled off the penguin-like figure of Qiuyun, carefully looking at the back in the night.

In just a split second, he jumped up and ran towards the outside of the tavern.

"Hey, what are you doing......"

Qiu Yun was strange, but he quickly ripped off the shopkeeper's blanket and chased after him.

Chen Xi walked quickly on the street, constantly picking up the people around him, pulling more than ten people to look, but he still didn't find the familiar back after all.

"It shouldn't be, why are people gone......"

Chen Xi looked around, still a little distressed.

"Hey, did you find anything?"

Qiu Yun rushed to his side, his little face flushed, and his eyes still flashed.

She was wearing thin clothes, if it weren't for her good physical fitness, she would be sorry for the treacherous climate of Qianzhou if she didn't catch a cold at this time.

Chen Xi didn't speak, he was carefully recalling every detail of the chase, he obviously saw someone, why did he run out but disappeared?

"No, no, it's not an illusion, it must be him, it must be him, I can't be wrong......"

He muttered in a low voice, and a little crazy, in order to find Zhao Cheng, he had hardly slept well in the past two months, and he was always on high alert, he didn't believe that he would be wrong, let alone hallucinate.

"Do you see people? Where is he? ”

Qiuyun listened to his whispering, and became excited, she hadn't seen her brother-in-law yet!

At the beginning, my sister's description was ambiguous, she blushed at every turn in front of her, and from time to time she would fall into fantasies, and it was difficult to have an intuitive impression of her brother-in-law.

Qiu Yun had heard descriptions of Zhao Cheng from many people, but most of them were murderous, crazy, indifferent, etc.

However, Song Lian and Song Taishi said that her brother-in-law was an elegant man, with otherworldly thoughts and profound wisdom like the starry sky, which gave her some fantasies.

Brother-in-law, he must be a strange man with a lot of light.

But alas, my sister died because of him.

If he doesn't go to the funeral, how can he be worthy of his sister?

"Are you wrong? Surprised? ”

In the end, Qiuyun did not find a suspicious figure, nor did he find the existence of a suspected brother-in-law.

"No way, I can't be wrong."

Chen Xi denied it, he was a grandmaster, and his strength was stronger than Mao Erhu, how could he be wrong?!

But why, the person is gone?

He was very sure that that back was Zhao Cheng, that god and demon Zhao!

Chen Xi has a deep understanding of Zhao Cheng's back, when Zhao Cheng escaped from the dungeon, killed out of the dense forest, and finally left.

During this experience, Chen Xiche experienced that it was even because of chasing Zhao Cheng that one of his ears was hit by Zhao Cheng's weapon and exploded directly.

Such a deep memory, how could he forget?!

"You must be mistaken, all this time has been shocked, and in the end it is the wrong person.

Tell you to have a good rest, don't think that if you are a grandmaster, you can ignore the physical consumption, and if you don't rest well, you will die suddenly sooner or later. ”

Qiuyun is like a sage, educating the disobedient juniors with arrogance.

"Did you read it wrong? Impossible, I believe in my eyes, and I also believe in my intuition, it was by relying on these that I found Zhao Cheng in Yingtianfu in the first place. ”

Chen Xi yelled, and continued to look around, like a mad dog, take a look here, smell there......

"Hmph, you~"

Qiu Yun was very angry, ignored Chen Xi angrily, and ran back to the previous tavern.

Of course she knew about it, and knew that Chen Xi's suspicions had finally locked Zhao Cheng's position.

It was precisely because of him that under the siege of the Jinyi Wei army, her sister died tragically on the spot......

She never forgets this hatred!

If it weren't for his lack of strength and being pinched by Chen Xi all the time, he wouldn't have known how many times he would have died.

Chen Xi was still looking, but he didn't know that in another tavern a few hundred meters away, Zhao Cheng had already taken off his clothes.

"Jinyi Wei Chen Xi, heh, it's really ghostly, and now you're still looking for me......"

Zhao Cheng sat on the edge of the bed, not worried that Chen Xi would find him here.

"I still have something to do now, so I'll have some fun with you."

Zhao Cheng got up, closed the window, and glanced at Chen Xi in the distance through the gap.

He won't forget Zhang Fenxiu's death!

Chen Xi, as the murderer who indirectly caused her death, must pay the price.

Killing other Jinyi guards, Zhao Cheng may still have a trace of psychological burden, but to kill Chen Xi, let alone have a burden, it is simply very happy!

That is, the time is not right now, he can't reveal his identity, otherwise Chen Xi won't survive tonight.

Zhao Cheng didn't pay much attention to it, after changing his clothes, he simply put on makeup, more like ordinary people, and packed his things to prepare to go to the inner city.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

In the Yang Mansion, there is still a big cooperation to discuss!

After all, the Yang family held a wine tasting with great fanfare, how could Zhao Cheng not participate?

He has Kweichow Moutai in his hand, and with such a fine wine in hand, he has to cooperate well with the Yang family and make a lot of money.

As soon as Kweichow Moutai came out, in this era, swept the market, who was the opponent?

The Wuliangye next door has not been iteratively upgraded, and it is not much different from the Moutai liquor of this era, not at all as good as one or two Kweichow Moutai liquor hundreds of years later, not to mention other liquors?

This business is destined to make a lot of money, full of pots, and full of bowls!

That huge bowl will at least stuff more than half of the Yang family of Banzhou's size.

After all, the huge Banzhou, with its prosperous economy and culture, is the most important thing is wine, Moutai.

And the basis of wine is grain!

Banzhou is known as the granary of Qianzhou, and the amount of grain is self-evident.

Only such abundant grain in Banshu can support the brewing of Moutai.

Similarly, only the powerful Banzhou Youngs have enough money to control the secret recipe and have a professional winemaker......

In this way, the peerless Moutai can be brewed!

Zhao Cheng's big deal made Fu Youde understand that Banzhou had much more grain stored than he imagined.

As for whether that grain was used to support the imperial court and support his war against Yunnan, it is unknown.

Anyway, Zhao Cheng only knew that to make wine, it must be grain.

If you don't have food, what kind of wine will you take?!

Right!
