Crackle.

The flames in the field rose more than a foot high.

The crowd cheered.

Since leaving Ningping, the convoy has been walking for several days in a row, and everyone is somewhat tired and depressed, both physically and mentally.

The three parties present were not stingy, and each of them contributed to the fun with practical actions. Not to be outdone, Wan Yaotang not only took out a few jars of fine medicinal wine, but also specially prepared herbal tea to ward off cold and dampness for everyone to drink; Yinzhuang was the most direct, and carried out a thousand silver coins in public, as a lottery head, to reward the few young men who performed the best in the evening.

As a result, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Wen Wu followed Li Ming's brother and sister into the arena and looked at the venue with great interest. Due to the limited conditions, there were no tables on the field, only everything was simple, and everyone sat on the ground like camping. However, although it is arbitrary, the three parties still distinguish the site, each dividing an area, which looks like a formation, and the layout presents a 'product' word from top to bottom.

"Here!"

On the side of the medicine hall, Yu Tong and another person were already sitting on the cloth mat and waving their hands. Wen Wu glanced at her, smiled politely and nodded, and looked at the person next to her at the same time. Who knows, the other party happened to be looking at him, so the eyes of the two sides met unexpectedly. Wen Wu reacted quickly, and almost looked away in a breath, but he felt strange in his heart.

This person is a young man of the same age as Li Ming, dressed exquisitely, with a white brocade silk shirt and a crown on his head, which is quite noble. It's just that the eyes are very unfriendly and aggressive.

Wen Wu was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand where the other party's malice came from. In the same team, he had seen each other, but only in the air, and did not have any communication.

Li Ming whispered: "This person's name is Chu Wenwen, and his grandfather is Deacon Chu. ”

"Oh?"

I was stunned and a little surprised. This Deacon Chu, he knows one thing, his name is Chu Tian, he is the deacon of the Taiming Mansion Medicine Hall, and he is also the main person in charge of the Medicine Hall team this time, and he is currently sitting in the middle of the front row. An old man over 60 years old, slightly fat, bald and short beard. Wen Wu glanced at the other party's back, thoughtful. It is said that he is a fifth-level old pharmacist, quite famous, and his status in Taiming Medicine Hall is second only to that of Zhangtang. This time, I went north, as if I was aiming for the title of level six.

"You don't even know him?"

"I've seen ......" Wen Wu laughed, but he didn't think so. Wanyaotang's convoy is said to be a convoy, but in fact, the main body is only Taiming Yaotang, and the rest are just a tailwind. Wen Wu came from Yuanwang Town, and naturally it was no exception. In the past few days, he is at the back of the line, and Taiming Yaotang is in front, if it is not intentional, it is difficult for them to intersect with each other.

Li Ming's expression was a little speechless, he paused, and added in a low voice, "He is a second-level pharmacist." ”

"Hmm." Wenwu nodded. The implication is that this Chu Wen has a background and ability, and his temper may not be very good.

"Chu Shao, I'm sorry, I'm late."

At the same time, Li Ming had already arrived at the table, greeted him with a smile first, and then introduced them to both parties, "Wen Shao, this is Chu Wen Chu Shao I told you." ”

Wen Wu smiled and gestured, "Hello." ”

"Chu Shao, he is the friend I met with you a few days ago, Young Master Wenwu."

"Oh." Chu Wenwen sat down, his chin raised slightly, even if he responded, and he didn't mean to get up at all. This made Yu Tong, who had already stood up next to him, a little embarrassed.

Wen Wu was not annoyed, only put down his hand.

Li Ming smiled dryly, "Uh, heh, Chu Shao......"

Chu Wenwen interrupted him, raised his eyes, and said, "I heard that there is a foreign guy in the convoy, and he didn't even say hello after he came, and he hasn't even seen my grandfather until now, so it can't be you, right?" ”

Wen Wu replied with a serious smile: "It shouldn't be." ”

Li Ming, Li Xin, and Yu Tong looked at him with different expressions, but they were all rich.

Chu Wenwen was stunned for a moment, then his face sank, and he snorted coldly: "Ho! It turned out that it wasn't you, I'll just say, my dog knows how to bark twice before entering the door, how can anyone be so unruly and unruly! ”

Wen Wu nodded with a smile in agreement, "Indeed." ”

Chu Wenwen was stunned, and then he didn't give up, "Huh? Do you know who he is? Listen to Li Ming, are you from Yuanwang Town? That's a coincidence, I heard that the person is also from Yuanwang Town! ”

"I don't know."

"Can't you? There are so many people in the whole convoy, and you are all from the countryside, can you still know that little place? What's more, it's such an uneducated thing! ”

"I don't know." Wen Wu still smiled, shook his head, and gave a suggestion: "Or?" You go and ask Captain Li? As for the deployment of personnel, he is all in charge, and he knows best. ”

Chu Wenwen's complexion changed, and he turned slightly blue.

Li Ming saw that the atmosphere was uncontrollable, and hurriedly interjected, "Aha, two, two, the banquet is about to start, why don't we sit down first?" Sit down and talk, sit down and talk. As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Tong again. The latter didn't make a sound, but only observed secretly, and after hearing the words, his eyes lit up, and he responded: "That's right, Senior Brother Chu, let's sit down and talk." ”

Chu Wenwen didn't plan to give up, "Hey, he's a ...... of unknown origin."

"Clerical, come here."

Suddenly, he was interrupted by a call from the front. Everyone looked at it, but saw that Chu Tian, who was sitting in the middle seat, turned his head at some point, was waving, and smiled and nodded at a few people.

Li Ming and the three of them were a little frightened, and hurriedly saluted.

Wen Wu was stunned for a moment. The others didn't know, but he felt that the other party had a momentary pause when looking at each other, and with the right nodding action, the deliberate traces were quite obvious.

"Humph!" Chu Wenwen's unhappiness was almost written on his face, he snorted coldly, dropped a few words and got up and left, "Senior Sister Yutong, I know that you have always been kind to others, but you must also pay attention to it, and know people with eyes!" ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for teaching." Yutong bowed his head and was taught.

Wen Wu was noncommittal, but it was Li Ming, and his expression was a little unnatural. However, he was older, and he still had some strength, and in a blink of an eye, he smiled again like no one else, "Ha, Wen Shao, Chu Shao's temperament is like this, in fact, he has no malicious intentions, don't you mind." Come, sit down, don't stand all the time, get in the way of the people behind. ”

"Xinxin, come here." Yutong was silent, and only pulled Li Xin over.

"Then let's sit here, smell less ......"

In order to ease the atmosphere, Li Ming said some more words, but most of them were insignificant. Wen Wu smiled and agreed, but didn't say anything, and Li Xin was still at a loss, only Yutong's behavior was a little strange. Regarding Chu Wenwen's attitude, she didn't say anything, she just pulled Li Xin and whispered, without the slightest intention of wanting to talk to others.

There are a lot of people around to see the excitement, but unfortunately as soon as Chu Wenwen left, it was naturally in vain. At the same time, the banquet will also begin, and everyone's attention will soon be diverted.

"I'm sorry, I don't smell much."

"It's okay." Wen Wu was slightly surprised by Li Ming's whispered apology, and then smiled heartily, and also lowered his voice, "I should apologize for causing trouble to you and Uncle Li Mad for causing trouble." ”

"Where, I invited you to come over and make you smile. Chu Wenwen, heh, he won't trouble me yet. Not to mention Uncle Li, let alone him, his grandfather didn't dare to come. Li Ming was sitting precariously, talking in his mouth, looking at the bonfire venue in front of him, but he looked very attentive and did not attract attention at all.

"Ho."

Wen Wu smiled and stopped talking. This is true. Although in terms of personal status, Chu Tian may be one level higher than Li Ma, but Li Mad is not a soft persimmon, as the head of the cavalry and archery battalion of the town government, and the captain of the personal guard army who has followed the mansion master for many years, the two identities are superimposed, even if he is an ordinary sixth-level court official, he must be polite when he sees him. What's more, he was designated by Qu Hong to escort the convoy, which Chu Tian couldn't have known. Wen Wu's heart moved, and he suddenly caught the origin of Chu Tian's attitude just now.

Although in the past few days, he has been 'living in a simple place' and rarely communicates with others, but Li Mad has frequently passed through condolences, but everyone sees it. While others may not know, Chu Tian should know that Li Madness is the person assigned by Qu Hong. From this, it is not difficult to deduce the connection. After a brief scrutiny, he guessed a rough idea.

I'm afraid that this Chu Tian already has seven or eight points of certainty in his heart. However, empathy, Wen Wu felt that if he were him, he would probably choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb and wait and see what happened. After all, if he takes the initiative to come to the door, no matter whether his identity is related to Qu Hong or not, it will not be beneficial to him, but he will not be responsible for it.

The deacon of this fifth-level pharmacist is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, an old fox.

Wen Wu smiled bitterly.
