September and October are the season when autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom.

Although the weather is suddenly cold, it can't stop the chrysanthemums all over the mountains, and there is no owner to bloom.

Just after noon, the western suburbs of Jiangling were already a sea of chrysanthemums.

Huang Chengyan's wine is also chrysanthemum wine.

The wine of the Han Dynasty was mostly named after the raw materials, such as rice wine, rice wine, wine, in addition, there are some wines with added ingredients, such as pepper wine, cypress wine, cinnamon wine, chrysanthemum wine!

Huang Chengyan's favorite drink is chrysanthemum wine, there is a faint sadness of chrysanthemums, every time he drinks, he always reminds him of his daughter who is far away in Shu.

Guan Lin's favorite drink is sugarcane wine, simply because... It's so sweet!

Of course, Huang Chengyan didn't have to pay for drinking in the villa, not only did he not have to pay for it, but the farmers also rushed to invite Huang Chengyan to sit here and have a light meal.

It is said that it is a light meal, one to ten, ten to hundred.

It didn't take long for more than 40 men to come and get busy spontaneously.

There is a person kneeling pounding koji blocks, one person is adding firewood to cook rice, one person is chopping firewood, one person is mixing rice next to the wooden retort, two people are straining wine, and one person is filling Huang Chengyan's gourd with a spoon with wine.

It was not enough to fill one gourd, so the farmer took two more gourds from his house, filled them full, and hung them on Huang Chengyan's donkey.

For the rest of the peasants, there is a clear division of labor.

- Drawing water, steaming, worrying, brewing, killing livestock, cutting meat, cutting fish, making preserved meat, preparing feasts...

Wait a minute...

On the contrary, Huang Chengyan and Zhang Fei sat on the table together, and someone almost fed the rice to their mouths, as if they were two "uncles"!

Zhang Fei was stunned. "Old man Huang, what's the situation with you? Bite... These peasants are closer to you than to their father? ”

Where does Zhang Fei know...

The influx of 2,000 people into the "Shuishui" mountain villa has brought much profit to the surrounding villages.

It is no exaggeration to say that Huang Chengyan is a bodhisattva in their minds.

It is also because Guan Lin led the "beggar gang" into the "Shuishui" villa, Huang Chengyan not only felt "great respect" in the villa, but even went out, which was admired by countless people!

This makes him useful!

At this moment, Huang Chengyan just stroked his beard and said with emotion: "One who is neither big nor small has come, but another one who is not big or small has come." ”

It's like...

Huang Chengyan's first "no big or small" refers to Guan Lin, and the second is only Zhang Fei.

Actually, Guan Lin sent someone to bring a letter last night, and said in advance that he was coming today.

He also said that he would bring new drawings, saying that he would be able to make the sake stronger.

This can make Huang Chengyan happy...

Huang Chengyan had already asked Guan Lin if there was any way to make this wine a little more flavorful.

Good to know...

The people of the Han Dynasty were unusually obsessed with wine.

In the Han Dynasty, wine was called "Tianmeilu", in addition to the way of drinking, the pursuit of wine quality, is almost crazy.

For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that there was good wine in the south, and you would not die if you drank it, so he sent people to lead boys and girls to the south to find it.

Sure enough, I got some wine to Chang'an, but as soon as the immortal wine was placed on the main hall, it was drunk by Dongfang Shuo.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and wanted to kill Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo said, if this is immortal wine, I won't die if I kill the minister, because I am already an immortal, if it's not immortal wine, then why kill me? Just ordinary wine? What is the use of this wine?

Emperor Wu heard it and smiled.

For another example, Liu Biao also likes to drink, and in order to enjoy the fun of drinking, he specially made a third jue.

The name of the eldest lord is "Boya", the name of the middle lord is "Zhongya", and the name of the junior lord is "Ji Ya"... Pour seven, six, and five liters of wine respectively.

When the banquet is held, all the guests should be drunk, and a large iron needle is also prepared on the banquet, if someone is found to be drunk, he will be pricked with an iron needle to see whether he is really drunk or fake.

It can be seen that the Han people are interested in wine... What a dedication!

It is precisely because of this that when he heard Guan Lin say that there were process drawings that could make spirits, Huang Chengyan could expect to be broken.

What to look forward to...

It's been a whole morning, how can there be a figure of this kid?

I've been waiting for a lonely time!

So Huang Chengyan rode on a donkey, took the empty wine gourd, and went out of the villa to drink in the village, but he never thought that he would run into Zhang Fei directly.

Originally, if you touch it, you can touch it, and it's nothing.

Who would have thought that this Zhang Fei shouted, "It turns out that you are the old evil yellow."

This said... directly made Huang Chengyan stunned.

- He's a hammer old man?

I'm already angry with Guan Lin's kid?

It's good now, there's a black guy, and he still opens his mouth to be Huang Laoxi.

Ya, that stinky boy of "Huang Laoxi", it's good to come today, and his spirits will have a place to drink, so he won't be lonely all morning!

Immediately, Huang Chengyan directly asked Zhang Fei, "What is Huang Lao?" ”

Zhang Fei raised his voice: "Huang Laoxi! ”

Huang Chengyan seemed to be behind his ear, and then asked: "What old evil?" ”

Zhang Fei's words this time were correct and round, "Huang Laoxi!" ”

Huang Chengyan opened his mouth again: "What evil is Huang?" ”

Zhang Fei was directly speechless, and immediately spread his hands and changed his words: "Gott... Gotcha, there's no Huang Lao Xie here, Lao Huang, are you going to drink? ”

Huang Chengyan nodded, "Yes!" ”

Thereupon...

Under Huang Chengyan's selective ear, the two of them came to this farm and waited for a meal.

The wine and food were put on the table one by one, but Zhang Fei was in such a mood, and he couldn't help asking, "Lao Huang?" Can't you... Aren't you Huang Laoxi? ”

"Huang Lao, what?" Huang Chengyan repeats his old tricks.

Get...

Zhang Fei had no choice but to change the conversation, and then asked: "That old man Huang, you always know who Hong Qigong is, right?" ”

"What kind of prince Hong?"

With Huang Chengyan's words, Zhang Fei stretched out his hand, and with a "snap", he gave himself a big ear.

He knew he was wrong.

If you don't ask, you shouldn't ask at all!

… He directly picked up a bowl of wine and drank it down.

Zhuge Liang also asked him to visit this old Huang?

Dare to love, this came to the outskirts of the west city, and visited a lonely.

Drink, eat!

You have to eat back the money!

Huang Chengyan looked at Zhang Fei without speaking, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, revealing a faint smile, and muttered in his heart.

- "That stinky boy said this trick... It's really easy to use!'

After three rounds of wine, the food is down... Huang Chengyan was full, and he was ready to go...

Zhang Fei hurriedly followed.

In this way, Huang Chengyan rode a donkey, and Zhang Fei followed him on foot.

The two walked into the villa together.

At this time, in the "Shuishui" mountain villa, workshops and forging workshops extend as far as the eye can see.

At the back of the villa are small thatched houses and mud houses, which rise and fall along the foot of the mountain... From time to time, craftsmen come out of it, and craftsmen will return there to rest.

A large number of craftsmen were sweating and blacksmithing, and every forge and workshop erected chimneys, and the black smoke on the chimneys floated into the air.

And the closest to the road in the middle of the mountain villa is a martial arts arena.

Some of the ready-made repeaters, partial vans, and wooden oxen and flowing horses need to be tried here to make sure there are no flaws.

Zhang Fei was very playful, and saw that there were craftsmen trying out the crossbow here.

He couldn't help but replace the craftsman, and with the sound of "whoosh", ten crossbows shot out at the same time, with a huge recoil force, even Zhang Fei's strong chest also felt a burst of pain!

And in front of...

All ten crossbow bolts have sunk into a boulder, and there are many small holes on the boulder, as if... It was once left over from the test firing of other repeaters.

"Obedient..."Zhang Fei couldn't help but exclaim: "This thing is so powerful!" ”

Although, since he came to this Gangneung, he has heard about the repeater countless times, and everyone says that it is an artifact.

Can... How many gods are there?

With Zhang Fei's spatial imagination, it is impossible to think clearly.

But now... All right!

Speaking with his own eyes, Zhang Fei pondered, the stone steps can be shot through, and the ordinary armor is not the same as cotton?

Even, Zhang Fei felt that if he was going to hit this crossbow arrow at close range, it would be no matter how strong his body bones were, he would have to be penetrated, where would he still be alive!

"This thing... If you keep your distance, it's as powerful as my eight snake spears! ”

Zhang Fei shouted and put down the repeater.

Just put down the effort, Zhang Fei saw the words "Huang Lao's evil creation" on it.

Suddenly, he had an idea... Something comes to mind.

immediately chased after Huang Chengyan's donkey.

This time, he didn't ask about "Huang Laoxi" and "Hong Qigong", he said directly: "Old Man Huang, this crossbow is also very useful, no matter what, you have to give me one!" ”

With this old acquaintance, it stands to reason that Huang Chengyan should not refuse.

I never thought about it...

With a "whoosh", Huang Chengyan stopped the donkey's footsteps.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Fei seriously.

"This crossbow, the old man only makes it in this villa, but he doesn't care about sending it!"

"Who's in charge? You tell me, I'll go find him! ”

Zhang Fei replied quickly.

Huang Chengyan didn't think twice and said: "If you want to ask for it, find Guan Lin's stinky boy, this crossbow, he has done the master!" ”

As he spoke, Huang Chengyan planned to drive the donkey again.

I never thought that Zhang Fei's eyes must be there.

He laughed and said, "Haha, I know... It turns out that Huang Lao Xie is actually Guan Lin's kid! ”

Say so...

Zhang Fei's heart is full of joy.

- "Dare to love, this old Huang who everyone talks about is my old Zhang's son-in-law!" Hahahaha..."

I don't know if I think "witty as him" can actually set out Huang Chengyan's words.

Still think... This "quasi-son-in-law" is Huang Laoxi, and he Zhang Fei is honored!

For a while, Zhang Fei was overjoyed.

It's Huang Chengyan, who patted his head...

muttered in my heart.

- "Oh no, let this black Zhang Fei go around at first!"

- "This guy, when did you learn to be thick and fine?"

…

…

The boiling water bubbles, and hot smoke rises from the warm sake pour.

Liu Zhen took out the hot wine from the wine injection and poured it for Li Miao.

Previously, Li Miao had been silent for a long time.

Liu Zhen opened his mouth and said: "There is a cloud in "Liutao" that 'the knife must be cut, and the axe must be cut. When it comes to making up your mind, you need to make a decision! ”

"Are you Cao Cao's man?"

Liu Zhen smiled, "Under Liu Zhen, he is the second-class Liu Zhen in the eyes of Mr. 'Sijian Gongyuan, fresh and strong, angry and lacking in carving'." ”

Despite saying this, Liu Zhen was not angry at all, let alone minding.

On the contrary, if Li Miao shows favor everywhere, Liu Zhen will be suspicious!

"It turns out that Your Excellency is Liu Zhen..."Li Miao deliberately hesitated, he waited for Liu Zhen to drink all the wine in the cup before he spoke again, "Your Excellency first showed me kindness, and then took out Cao Cao's "Seeking Talent", and now he even said, 'The knife must be cut, and the axe must be cut'. Don't know what kind of opportunity it is? ”

Liu Zhen smiled: "Brother Li is a very smart person, since he has read the "Seeking Talent", why do you need to ask me? This glass of wine, first congratulate Brother Li on abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, abandoning the old and drawing the new, and regaining his life! ”

"I'm ashamed, the three dragons of the Li family have lived in Bashu for a long time, they are rude people in the mountains and wilderness, and they are only shallow in their studies, and they can't understand the deep meaning of your excellency!"

Liu Zhen sighed, "Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the master to do things, these..."Zuo Chuan", I shouldn't mention it, I only ask sir, Zhuge Kongming is in Bashu, but why is his brother Zhuge Jin in Dongwu? Xiangyang Ponzi, Pang Tong voted for Liu Bei? Why did Pang Shanmin vote for Prime Minister Cao? Let's talk about the distant Yingchuan Xun family, why did Xun Chen vote for Yuan Shao and Xun Yu for Cao Gong? ”

Li Miao asked. "What the hell are you going to say?"

Liu Zhen hesitated for a moment, "I shouldn't have mentioned these things, but I can't bear Mr. Li's secret investment, throughout the ages, under the troubled times, how many families are there?" How many children are divided into three parties? To each his own master? Don't... Are they not faithful? Now, Mr. Li is humiliated in Bashu and Jingzhou, so why hang himself from a tree! ”

"In the past, I chatted with Zijian's son, and he said, 'My husband is all over the world, and he is still next to each other for thousands of miles!' There is another cloud in "Chu Ci", 'Ning and Huang Hu are winged? Will you compete with chickens for food? 'Those who do not seek easy things will succeed, and those who do not take refuge will enter!' Is Mr. Li willing to live in this land of Jingshu all his life, suffer humiliation, and do nothing? ”

Call...

Li Miao was slightly stunned.

- "It's true that you can't do nothing, but... I want it, you can't afford it! Cao Cao can't afford it!'

I thought so.

Li Miao made a light appearance, but his voice was full of chagrin.

"Perhaps... You're right! ”

Liu Zhen shook his head, "With all due respect, Mr. Li is talented, but arrogant and uninhibited, and the only person in the world who can be loyal is Cao Gong. Cao Gong sighed, 'Zhou Gong vomits, the world returns to the heart'! Mr. Li wants to become famous, and the only place he can choose is under the command of Cao Gong! Cao Gong is also looking forward to Mr. Li! ”

This...

Hear this... Li Miao deliberately clenched the wine glass tightly, making a look of being uneasy for a long time but worried.

"But... Guan Lin humiliated me, twice in a row... Strip me of my clothes and make it public? I'm so unbearable? Is it worth voting for Cao Gong? ”

"Hahaha..."Liu Zhen laughed and said: "In the past, You Heng took off his clothes and beat the drums, the drums were sonorous, and Cao Gong was also deafening and deafening. After You Heng died, Cao Gong mentioned it repeatedly, and he could no longer hear the sonorous drum beat of You Heng! ”

"Today... If Mr. Li is in Jingzhou, it will be humiliated by everyone, but if he goes north, then... Mr. Li took off his shirt twice... It is enough to shame his Guan family father and son, shame Liu Xuande, and show his face to the public! At that time, Mr. Li will be the guest of Duke Cao, and Mr. Li will be able to beat the sonorous drum again! ”

Liu Zhen drank it all, and finally told all the purpose of his visit.

Li Miao felt that the time was almost ripe, and immediately gave it up.

- "Thanks to Cao Gong's order to seek merit, I am flattered and hopeful... Brother Liu introduced. ”

- "Brother Li is talented, and he is a talent that Cao Gong wants to wear!" After this cup of drink, Brother Li will wait for a few days, wait for me to make arrangements, you and I will go north together to visit Cao Gong! ”

- "Please! ”

- "Please! ”

…

…

- "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, that Huang Laoxie is actually Guan Lin's kid!" ”

Zhang Fei was very nervous.

He couldn't help but lean in front of Huang Chengyan, "Old man Huang, look at me... Isn't it a little finer than before? ”

"Hehe..."

Facing Zhang Fei's joking ridicule, Huang Chengyan glanced at him, "If you don't hold back your mouth again, the old man will have to give an eviction order!" ”

"Eviction order? Hahaha... Who can chase me Zhang Fei? Zhang Fei patted his chest, "It's not that I said, it's okay for these craftsmen in your villa to play a crossbow, but if you fight with me, a thousand won't move me." ”

"A thousand, and you'll be gone with a repeater." Huang Chengyan said casually...

At this time, Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed, and he scratched his head.

But soon, he smiled again, and his fickle temper was like that of a child, "Hahaha... Since it is a repeating crossbow made by Guan Lin's kid, how can he shoot me? Old man Huang, do you know what his kid has to shout at me? ”

"What?"

"Uncle Yue!" Zhang Fei puffed up his chest and put on a posture of a big-bellied father-in-law... He didn't forget to say, "This kid has a good head, but the hero is sad about the beauty, so I'll just look... This kid likes my girl. ”

This...

When Zhang Fei said this, Huang Chengyan couldn't help but look at him twice.

Sure enough, this black Zhang Fei has improved a lot!

It's not just thick and fine!

It's just... Really fine!

all know that "heroes are sad and beautiful passes"... knows how to let the girl go and lock up the kid "Guan Lin" first.

The so-called "strongman locks the man!" ”

Something, but not much!

Huang Chengyan smiled and said perfunctorily: "If you can be the father-in-law of that stinky boy, you have to discipline him well for me, make him obedient, and send the drawings in his head to the old man." ”

"It's hard to say," Zhang Fei smiled. That's what I said! ”

Taking advantage of the hot chat between the two, Zhang Fei asked again.

"Old man Huang, you really don't know... Who is Hong Qigong? Or rather... Since that Huang Laoxie is Guan Lin, then Hong Qigong shouldn't be you, right? ”

Zhang Fei was thinking, and everyone called "Hong Qigong" an old man.

How many such elusive old people are there in Jingzhou?

This question is thrown.

He looked at Huang Chengyan very earnestly, eager for an answer.

It's just that... Huang Chengyan's answer was very crisp.

- "What kind of prince is Hong? ”

- "What Seven Princes are coming?" ”

Belch...

At this moment, Zhang Fei was speechless, he reached out and knocked on the door of his head, why did he forget this stubble again.

It was Huang Chengyan who felt that he had made enough trouble, exhaled lightly, and slowly opened his mouth.

"Let me tell you the truth, the old man is not Hong Qigong, as for who Hong Qigong is? The old man doesn't know, but... The old man can see that this Hong Qigong is a friend and not an enemy, if he is sure that he is a friend and not an enemy, then why bother to get to the bottom of it? Is not he more useful to be hidden in the shadows than in the light? ”

Speaking of this, Huang Chengyan paused, and then waved his hand, as if he was planning to issue an eviction order.

"So... Are you satisfied? Can you explain it to my son-in-law? ”

It's rare for Huang Chengyan to say so much...

Zhang Fei scratched his head, in fact, his brain circuit decided that he didn't understand everything.

But I wrote it down, and Kong Ming asked when the time came, so he answered.

But...

Investigating Hong Qigong was only one of the purposes of his trip.

He's here for another purpose.

"Old man Huang, actually... What did your son-in-law tell me about? Let me ask you? ”

Not...

Huang Chengyan raised his head slightly.

Zhang Fei said truthfully, "That Fufeng is the right person? Did you know? ”

Fa Zheng?

This name is not unfamiliar to Huang Chengyan, Fa Zheng's great-grandfather Fa Xiong worked as a taishou in Nanjun, and the Fa family is also connected with many big families in Jingzhou.

His grandfather Fa Zhen, the word Gao Qing, the Eastern Han Dynasty celebrity, the name "Mr. Xuande" is quite accomplished in the classics of the hundred schools of thought and the study of the weft, and is known for his high and clear heights.

When Huang Chengyan was young, he still studied with him, and he was half a master and apprentice.

And Fa Zheng's father, Fa Yan, was Huang Chengyan's classmate when he was young.

It's just that... It's a pity that after Fa Yan raised filial piety, when he was appointed as the left prisoner of Tingwei, he died of illness on the road.

Legend... It was a disease that could cause sudden death.

Because of this, Fa Zheng was raised by his grandfather until he was ten years old, and his grandfather was very worried that Fa Zheng would also inherit his father's disease.

- "Isn't it?"

Huang Chengyan already had a slight eyebrow in his heart.

And Zhang Fei's words confirmed his conjecture.

"It's this Fazheng, which makes my eldest brother like it very much, and this Fazheng has indeed made a lot of contributions when we entered Shu, and I have some skills, but it's just... He had a disease! A strange disease that can't be explained! ”

Hearing this, Huang Chengyan has been able to determine...

He asked rhetorically, "But... Frequent chest tightness, chest pain, accompanied by sweating, nausea, difficulty breathing, and long syncope! ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes rolled.

"Not bad at all, how do you know?"

Huang Chengyan let out a long sigh, "I am a classmate with his father, and his father died so suddenly!" ”

"Ahh Sudden death? Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask Huang Chengyan if there was any way.

No matter how bad it is... Introduce a famous doctor or something.

Huang Chengyan seemed to have anticipated Zhang Fei's words, and he sighed.

Head start:

- "His father Fa Yan was looking for a doctor at the beginning, but in the end... I can't tell you what the disease is, and I can't talk about cure! ”

seemed to recall some unbearable past, and Huang Chengyan's face suddenly darkened.

And this sudden cold atmosphere made Zhang Fei's heart "chuckle".

His subconscious feeling was...

It's over, it's over!

This is also looking for a famous doctor of eggplant!

Fa Xiao Zhi Ah Fa Xiao Zhi ... He... He's... It's not ironclad that basking in the sun after autumn - it's going to be cool sooner or later!

It is true that Zhang Fei thinks so.

But Zhang Fei would never know.

Fa Zheng's death, for Shu Han... What does that mean?

It is too much to say that "the tide is falling, and the building will fall", but there is a sentence in the history books, called "If the law is not dead, there will be no Three Kingdoms".

This is a bit excessive.

But this also shows from the side the importance of Fazheng to Shu Han!

It is no exaggeration to say that if the law is correct, many stories about Shu Han in history will be rewritten!
