Zheng Anping said: "If the Zhao army attacks directly, what can I do?" ”

Chen Sidao: "If you take the waterway, you will get the boat." Yu Li Zhengzhou is not enough for Zhao Zhou. If you take the land route, you will turn your back to Ning Xinzhong. Ning Xinzhong, Wei Yi also. If he does not accept Qin, he will not accept Zhao. Zhao Bi didn't dare to betray Ning Xinzhong and attack a few times. ”

Zheng Anping said: "If it is, then things will be done!" ”

Chen Sidao: "Brother Zheng has been reckless for a long time, and he will be the first to be righteous." When I was young, I called for meat and drink, and I hope my brother will show his mind! ”

Zheng Anping said: "The matter of wine Lu, my brother should take it." But between money, one depends on the brother! ”

Inhumane: "The second son goes to the table, I should guard the house!" ”

The people discussed the affairs of the banquet and the itinerary for tomorrow. Seeing that it was not early, he came out early and went to the wine shop first to see the preparations for the banquet; It is estimated that it is almost over, and then go to the wide carriage and horse shop to visit the merchant.

When the merchant owner saw Chen Si and others coming to invite, he was very proud, so he shouted and asked some small businessmen to call the others, saying that Chen Jia had come to invite the banquet! At the same time, he also sent someone to find the owner of the ship and go to the banquet together. In a few hours the shipowner and all the merchants arrived, and they all went to the wine shop together.

When I arrived at the wine shop, sure enough, on a field behind the house, large and small seats were set up and circled. Everyone pushed the merchant to sit first, and the merchant asked Chen Si, Chen Si insisted: "How dare you dare to be the first to be the east!" The merchant then sat at the table, Chen Si sat on the opposite side of the merchant owner, which was regarded as the host, and Zheng Anping sat next to him.

Chen Si sat up and arched his hand and said: "Weishu is the first time to come to your side, and I have to meet all my peers, which is really fortunate!" Go to Luoyang in the same boat, in order to seek food and clothing, may joy and hardship be shared! ”

The merchant said: "What Chen Jia said is accessible, we gather from all directions, and we will meet today, or there will be on a different day." Today, there are those who sell in Luoyang, there are those who are in Luoyang, and there are many Jia. Today, may everyone fulfill their wishes! ”

Everyone was in an uproar.

The restaurant moved four big tripods, as well as fruits, vegetables, corn and rice, and opened an urn of wine. The people did not shrink the wine, but lined up with each lamp, and the merchant scooped the wine one by one, and walked in turn; Put the wine on the table, and take another one to take the broth, but it is divided by Chen Si. Chen Si put the meat on the, transported it like the wind, and divided the fish, chickens, and ducks in the four tripods into small pieces of similar size. The merchants who were taking wine next to them saw it and cheered together!

When taking the broth, Chen Si scooped a spoonful of soup, took a piece of meat, and came in turn. Vegetables, fruits, and corn rice, each person takes one serving. After everyone had taken the food, it was already dark, so the restaurant lit a bonfire in the center of the venue, and everyone drank and ate meat and talked to each other. The merchants had their own minds and were interested in obtaining useful information from the banquet. Chen Si and Zheng Anping intended to guide, and the merchants spoke freely and their feelings increased.

Chen Sidao: "Wei Shu heard that the master of the rebel brigade, Zhao wants to conquer Li Zhou and attack a few, what is the matter?" ”

Immediately, there was a humanitarian: "Handan's boat mostly travels in the water, its boat is small, it is only a hundred, and it is plundered by Qin, and the rest is insufficient." It was difficult for his small boat to enter the big river, so he sent an envoy to Li to get a big boat. ”

Chen Sidao: "The one who is riding in Weishu, Chu Dazhou, is there no danger?" ”

The man said: "Chen Jia don't worry. Although Zhao envoy arrived, his intention was not reached, and Li Ling did not know it. ”

Another said: "Even if Li Ling knows it, what will it do?" Or do you want to plunder it? ”

Another said: "If you stay for three or five days, things may change." Tomorrow's trip will be unharmed. ”

Another person said: "Zhao Jia expects three or five days, and there seems to be a sound outside the words." ”

The man said: "Zhao made it to the end, but he wanted to use Zhao Shang to pass through Li Ling." And Li Zhong Zhao merchants are not idle, up and down the merchants are not less than dozens of hundreds of households, hundreds of boats, if for Zhao use, the loss of a lot. Therefore, Zhao Shang is all conspiring, and he must wait for his boat to be released, and he is to enter Li Lingye. ”

Chen Sidao: "Yes, Zhao Envoy has not yet come to Li Ling, and he must not bribe the boat!" The master of the reverse brigade deceived me, and he said that he would bribe Zhao Envoy with 200 words! ”

The owner of the ship said: "The master of the reverse brigade has no conscience, not just one day. But what they do to the powerful, there is nothing to do! ”

Chen Sidao: "My view is very different from the monarchs, if there is a reason? ”

The merchant said: "Chen Jia doesn't know, his rebellion is the Wei family's line, and the giant boats on the river are all owned by the Wei family. The owner of the ship and the owner of the reverse brigade are also a family. ”

Chen Si looked at the shipowner, and the shipowner said, "No, no." Although they are all Wei's, they actually do their own thing. I also know that the master of the reverse brigade is also well aware, but the relationship is shallow, and it is inconvenient to persuade deeply! ”

Chen Si looked at the shipowner and said, "The so-called Wei clan, how can it be that the sect of Puyang?" ”

The owner of the ship said: "Honestly. Tracing back to this, Shu also has a relationship with Wei Hou Bo. ”

Chen Sidao: "Dare to be Wei Gongzi!" ”

The owner of the ship said: "How dare you! Gongsun is not allowed to do it! Away from Shilin for several generations! ”

Chen Si said to Zhao Shang who was speaking in front of him again: "Zhao Jiaqi's words have changed in the past three or five days, how much will he have to do at that time?" ”

That Zhao Shang said: "We are the same peers, and we have different breaths!" At that time, the merchant giant boat may be all over the river, and the people he levied were just the people of the city. ”

Chen Sidao: "Zhao Jia is so angry, dare to drink together!" "Invite each other to drink at the table.

The Zhao Shang thanked him: "It's not my doing, all my Zhao Shang can get it!" ”

Chen Sidao: "Zhao Ke is a hero, this is true!" ”

The Zhao Ke said: "I am willing to share it with Chen Jia!" He also avoided the table and raised the wine, and the two of them took a sip of each other.

After getting Zhao Jia's explanation, Zheng Anping and Chen Si were a little relieved. Chen Si asked again: "Dare to invite the merchant, how many days will it take to get from Li to Luoyang?" ”

The merchant said: "From Li to Luoyang, Bo Yan and Juan, then to Yanshi and Wushi, and then enter Luoyang." A total of three days and nights. Yan and Juan are all Wei land, close to businessmen, and there is no obstacle to what they do. When Zheng Anping heard the word "Wei Di", a faint resentment appeared in his heart, and the past time seemed to return to the present.

After the banquet, he returned to the reverse journey, and Gongzi Yiren had already eaten the dinner given by the host of the reverse journey, and left one for Zheng and Chen. The three of them drank wine and ate meat, but there was only one portion of corn, and the portion was insufficient. Both of them are martial artists, usually have a large amount of food, along the way, they were already hungry, they ate these two dinners as supper, sent the tableware back to the front hall, and told the front hall to have breakfast early, the front agreed, the two came back, and each rested.

The next day, the rooster crowed, ate breakfast, and went to the river. The bearers were already waiting for business, and the three waited for the owner of the ship to arrive, and the four went over in bed, and the three got on the boat, and sat down in the cabin. The merchant counted the number of people and ordered to set sail. But twenty-five merchants, each with his goods, set sail in a mighty manner. There are a lot of boats traveling today, and the river is crowded next to each other, and there is an occasional collision, which provokes a small dispute.

In just a moment, the boat traveled ten miles, and when it was out of the range of Licheng, the boats on the river gradually decreased, and finally only their twenty-five boats were sailing. The vast wilderness on both sides of the strait is endless, and there are occasionally a few hills on the horizon that rise and fall, that is, there is no home, and there is no pastoral. The three of them looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait for a while, Zheng Anping and Gongzi Yiren lost interest, returned to the cabin and closed their eyes to recuperate, leaving only Chen Si on the bow of the boat, silently remembering the situation near and far and the river. The squeaky sound of the oars is a good lullaby, coupled with the fatigue of the battle for days, Zheng Anping and Gongzi Yiren gossip a lot, and they gradually fell asleep! It wasn't until the collision on the shore that they woke them up.

Chen Si sat on the edge of the cabin door, looking inside and outside the cabin with a smile. When he saw them wake up, he said, "I haven't drunk too much, so why are they so drunk?" There were carp in the river that came on board and were caught by the boatmen. Divide us into one or two tails, come at night and cook fish soup. When the two of them got up to look, they saw that there were two carps in the hatch, both of which were four or five pounds, and although they were pierced on their gills, they were still beating. When I came out of the cabin, there was already a countryside around, and there was a tall city in the distance. The river looked so large that twenty-five boats were parked here without crowding; However, there are not many places to moor, only three large boats are moored on the shore, and other small boats are moored on the larger ships. Springboards were built between the boats so that the ships could move freely between them. The merchant and the boatman disembarked and lit two bonfires on the shore. It seems that this is a fixed mooring place for boats on weekdays, and there are many fire pits left, so there is no need to dig them at all. Since some fish jumped on the boat during the boat, two additional tripods were brought out, and a fire was added to cook fish soup.

Some merchants may have no boats and partner with others, or some may have two or three boats, depending on the business; But each ship had at least two boatmen, and the big ship had three. So the boatmen outnumbered the merchants. The merchant took the initiative to go over and called some of the boatmen to eat by the merchant's fire, and the boatmen were a little afraid, and at last only the head of the boat came over, and sat together and cringed a little, but the merchants laughed and joked with them, and dispelled their concerns. Their actions made Zheng Anping and the three of them particularly surprised. Zheng Anping and Chen Sijiu were reckless, although they said that "all brothers in the four seas", Zheng Anping and Xin Lingjun had never met, but they had never eaten around the same fire. Gongzi Yiren felt even more incomprehensible, in the Qin State, the boundaries of identity were very obvious and strict. He pretended to be a servant, and it was rude to eat with Zheng Anping and the others, so he had to wait for the two of them to finish eating, and eat the rest by himself. Now seeing that the boatmen are all gathered around, it seems a little inappropriate for him to hide behind the two, Chen Si stretched out his hand and pulled him to the two of them, even if they were at the same table.

When the fish was cooked, the merchant fished out the fish, put it on the figurine, and said to Chen Si: "Chen Jia is divided evenly, please also ask Chen Jia to bother!" ”

Chen Sidao: "Dare to ask for a knife!" ”

This makes it difficult for everyone, there is no gathering around the mooring point, where to find a knife? At this time, a boatman fished out a river stone from the river, smashed it hard, smashed it down, and handed it to Chen Sidao: "Let me use this as a substitute for a knife." Chen Si took it, although it was not very smooth, but it was still sharp, even cutting and cutting, and divided several fish into dozens of parts of similar size according to the human head. After the fish was divided, the porridge over there was also cooked, two per person, one porridge, one soup, and one piece of fish, and they ate a beautiful meal.

After eating together, it seemed that the distance between them was much closer, sitting around and chatting with each other. Chen Si and Zheng Anping are both veterans of clichés, and they can always come up with some useful information if they don't say a word or two.
