Chapter 64 Granary
On the ring, the woman in red saw a jade woman jumping up. She was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"
"I'll compete with you."
"Are you going to compete with me?" The woman in red looked her up and down, "If you beat me, don't you want to be my husband?"
The audience in the audience couldn't help laughing loudly when they heard this.
"Of course it won't work," Fan Shuxiang said seriously, "I came up to compete with you to cheer you up, so that you won't be embarrassed. Since those men are unwilling to come up, let's give it a try. If you lose,
Just call me Master."
"What if you lose?"
"I call you Master."
The woman in red thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's okay." Then, the two of them opened up their postures and competed in martial arts. Fan Shuxiang's attack was sharp, hitting the opponent's vital points directly, and the woman in red was also unambiguous,
They moved to dodge and turned from defense to attack. The two moved as fast as lightning, punched and kicked, and transformed into phantoms. One was like a colorful butterfly chasing flowers, and the other was like a red carp playing in the water, twisting and twisting, dazzling the audience.
The two sides were fighting in full swing. The woman in red suddenly jumped out of the circle and shouted to stop. Fan Shuxiang retracted her moves and was surprised: "What's wrong?" The woman in red wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and said, "If this doesn't work, I'll follow you.
Fighting takes a lot of energy, and if a man comes up later and can easily defeat me, then I won't be able to find a good husband."
When Fan Shuxiang heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you always thinking about finding a husband?" There was another burst of laughter from the audience. The woman in red was not shy at all, and said seriously: "I am not setting up this arena to find a husband, so
Why are you here?" Fan Shuxiang thought about it
Yes, he turned around and waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I won't delay you in finding a husband." After that, he jumped off the stage, walked up to Li Zhiyun, and said with a smile: "How about it, I'm great, right?" Li Zhiyun nodded with a smile:
"Well enough."
After a few people left the ring, they wandered around for a while. Li Zhiyun looked up at the sun and it was almost noon. There happened to be a restaurant next to the street. He pointed with his hand and said to Fan Shuxiang: "Let's go into this restaurant. I
Treat me." Fan Shuxiang glanced at him and said, "Oh, you are quite generous today."
"I'll repay you for saving my life."
Fan Shuxiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll accept this favor from you."
The next day, Li Zhiyun led two followers into the city again and arrived in front of the county government office. Standing at the door were two government officials wearing soap clothes. After he revealed his identity, he said he wanted to see the county magistrate. After the government officials went in to report,
After a while, the county magistrate wearing official uniform came out and respectfully invited him into the lobby.
After the guests and hosts were seated, the servants served fragrant tea. The county magistrate's surname was Wu. Li Zhiyun said: "County Magistrate Wu, I came here today to ask you whether there are any fire dumplings made in Baibi City.
Workshop?" The reason why he asked this was because the production of Huozhezi requires a large amount of white phosphorus. If it can be proven that the car of white phosphorus is used to produce Huozhezi, then there is nothing to worry about.
Magistrate Wu raised his head and thought for a moment, then said: "As far as I know, there should be no such thing. However, it would be better to ask Ma County Lieutenant about this matter." He called a government official and asked him to go and arrest Ma County Lieutenant.
Call over.
The two sat drinking tea and chatting. After a while, Lieutenant Ma came in, saluted and sat down. Li Zhiyun asked what he had just said again. Lieutenant Ma shook his head and said no. Li Zhiyun looked at him and said, "Are you sure?
"
"Going back to the King of Chu, I have been serving in Baibi for many years. I am also responsible for inspection and patrolling. I travel through the streets and alleys every day. I know the workshops in the city very well. I can't make a mistake."
Li Zhiyun said goodbye and left the county government office. When they walked to the street, he said to his two followers: "Since there is no workshop for making Huozhezi in the city, who are you talking about transporting so much white phosphorus into the city? He What do you want to do?" Zhang Zheng said: "Maybe it's just businessmen hoarding it and planning to sell it elsewhere in the future." Cai Hu also echoed: "It's possible, businessmen, don't just resell whatever they want to make money?" Li Zhiyun listened and nodded. He said: "What you two said makes sense. Forget it, I don't want to think about this anymore, let's go to the granary and have a look."
Along the way, Li Zhiyun was reflecting on whether he was too sensitive? Although white phosphorus is flammable, it is also a common commodity and may not necessarily be related to a certain conspiracy. But he knew that now, the relationship between the Tang Army and Song Jingang's army was In this war, all we have to fight for is consumption, and food is the top priority. It is very important to ensure the safety of the granary. Therefore, he has to be cautious. However, since the ins and outs of the car of white phosphorus cannot be found out for the time being, this matter cannot be solved. Don't put it aside temporarily.
Baibi City was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was originally a military garrison, and the current granary was the former barracks. They walked to the door of the granary, and Li Zhiyun asked Cai Hu to go over and tell the soldiers guarding the gate that he wanted to see their highest officer. One After the soldiers went in to report, it didn't take long for two generals in armor to come out of the granary in a hurry. The two came to Li Zhiyun one after another. The general in front clasped his fists and said: "Zhao Wu Colonel Zhao Biao meets the King of Chu." The one behind him said. The general also clasped his fists and said: "Zhaowu Deputy Lieutenant Zhou Huanjing is here to see the King of Chu."
Zhaowu Xiaowei and Zhaowu Deputy Lieutenant were military attaches of the sixth rank and the sixth rank respectively. They were the highest commanders of this granary. After returning the courtesy, Li Zhiyun said: "Two officers, I am here today to inspect the granary. , please lead the way."
During this expedition to attack Liu Wuzhou, his second brother was the general of the army, and Li Zhi was the deputy marshal of the army. Therefore, he had the right to inspect any barracks, including the granary. Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao turned around and said, "Please " gesture. So, Li Zhiyun walked into the granary with his entourage.
The last time Li Zhiyun came to deliver food, he did not enter the granary. Instead, he handed the food to the quartermaster in the open space in front of the granary door. When he entered the granary and took a look, oh, it is really big here. It probably takes up an area of The area is at least thirty acres. Looking around, you can see rows of neatly arranged houses, which are probably warehouses for storing grain. There is a wall over eight feet high around the granary, with barbed wire hanging on it, which can be seen from time to time. Groups of soldiers with bright armor and sharp swords patrolled along the wall.
They went to check a warehouse. Lieutenant Zhao ordered the soldiers to open the door of the warehouse. Li Zhiyun walked in and took a look. The warehouse was tall and large. There were round warehouses inside, which probably stored grain. This granary It not only stores grain, but also stores feed for horses, mules and other livestock.
After walking out of the warehouse, Li Zhiyun said: "Two sirs, the safety of the granary is very important. What measures have you taken?"
"Back to the King of Chu," Captain Zhao said, "There are three entrances and exits to the granary. Each entrance and exit is equipped with two checkpoints. People and vehicles passing by are strictly inspected. No passage is allowed without a token. The outside of the granary wall is five feet away. A sentry post is set up every thirty steps, and idle personnel are not allowed to approach the wall. There are soldiers patrolling the wall at twelve hours a day."
Li Zhiyun nodded after hearing this. Such strict defensive measures should ensure that the granary is safe. However, from the first moment he walked into the granary, he always felt that something was missing. Now he finally remembered. He used his fingers to
Pointing at the wall of the warehouse, he said: "Fire prevention in granaries is also very important. Find someone to use white powder to write on the walls of the warehouse, 'Fireworks are strictly prohibited in this important land of granaries.'" The two generals hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "Yes!"
At this time, an official came over. He was holding a book and a clay box in his hand, and came to ask Colonel Zhao to use his seal. This man looked about twenty years old, and he had a small cheekbone under his left eye.
There are two fine hairs on the scab. Li Zhiyun thinks that he looks a bit like the transport captain of Syngman Rhee's army in the movie "The Raid".
Colonel Zhao took out his seal and took the book to seal. The transportation captain stood next to him, smiled and nodded at Li Zhiyun. After sealing, the transportation captain took the book and left. Li Zhiyun looked at his back and said casually
"Who is this person?" Zhou Fuwei said quickly, "He is Huaihua Si Ge Xu Youwei."
Li Zhiyun inspected the granary for about a cup of tea and felt that there were no omissions in the granary's defense, so he led Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu away.
After Li Zhiyun left, Captain Zhao and Deputy Lieutenant Zhou returned to Liyu, and happened to meet Si Ge Xu Youwei. Captain Zhao stopped him and said: "Xu Sige, send someone to the market to buy some white powder, and then
Find some soldiers who can write and write words on the outer walls of the warehouse." Xu Youwei agreed and turned around to make arrangements. By the time he finished his work, the sun had already climbed to the top of his head.
After Xu Youwei left the granary, he walked towards his home. He was an officer and should live in a military camp, but he felt that living in a military camp was too restrictive, so he rented a house by himself so that he could be at ease. He
After crossing two streets, we entered an alley. This alley is wider than ordinary alleys, about more than a foot wide. It can barely be regarded as a small street. There are residences on both sides of the alley.
He was walking with his head down when he suddenly saw a taro rolling over from behind and stopping in front of his feet. He looked back and saw that it was a woman returning from shopping. The vegetables in her bamboo basket were about
There were too many taros, and a few taros fell off and rolled around on the ground.
The woman knelt down to pick up the taro. Xu Youwei also bent down to pick up the taro, turned around and walked over to hand it to her. The woman had already picked up the taro and stood up. Xu Youwei took a look and saw that the woman looked young.
Fang Erba has fair skin and beautiful appearance.
At that time, women's hair style was very particular. Married women usually put their hair into a big bun on the back of their head, pinned with a hosta, or covered with gauze. Unmarried women usually wore their hair in a double bun or let their hair hang loosely.
Come down and tie it into a ponytail with a square scarf, or braid two slender braids next to the ears. Judging from the hairstyle, this woman should be an unmarried girl.
The girl struggled to carry the vegetable basket with one hand, and took the taro from Xu Youwei with the other hand. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Guanjia!" Because Xu Youwei was wearing official uniform, the girl called him Guanjia.
.Xu Youwei glanced at the vegetable basket and said, "Are you going to buy so many vegetables?"
"We are going to have guests at home tonight, so I bought some more." The girl explained. Her voice was like a clear spring striking a stone, soft and crisp. When she smiled softly, her bright eyes and white teeth were like the dazzling sunshine.
Xu Youwei turned around, walked forward with her, and asked casually: "Do you live on this street too?" The girl nodded, pointed with her hand and said: "That's my home." Xu Youwei said
