The visitor nodded and said, "Yes, Baimozhi wine. Baimo is the end of Baicaohua. Zhi is beautiful. The wine is mixed with the end of Baicaohua, so it is fragrant and beautiful. I drank it in Luoyang in the past, but I have never tasted it before."
I wish I had been gone for many years."
As the visitor spoke, he stared at Ye Chuan. One hand was placed on the counter, while the other hand was hidden under the counter.
Ye Chuan seemed to be in a daze, as if he heard something, but also as if he didn't hear it. He habitually picked up the rag and wiped it on the counter, then turned his back to the counter, as if he wanted to wipe the wine grid behind the counter again.
.
When the visitor saw this, he repeated it again, but his tone of voice was a little louder, and he obviously seemed a little harsher.
Ye Chuan didn't expect that he would hear this sentence again.
This is a special joint code.
Baimozhi wine is a mellow and fragrant wine made from the leaves of hundreds of flowers in the Han Dynasty. "At the end of the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there was a minister who was pouring wine, he would fight for a thousand coins", which refers to this kind of wine.
Now this statement not only names the first emperor of Han Dynasty, but also names Luoyang, so it is basically certain...
Regardless of whether it is Guanzhong or Longxi, most people will not choose to drink "Baimozhi Liquor". On the one hand, it is too expensive, and on the other hand, it does not conform to local customs.
The visitor did not know Ye Chuan, so he could only confirm his identity through such code words.
Equivalent to a connector.
When the visitor saw Ye Chuan didn't answer, he was about to raise his voice and ask a third time. If Ye Chuan didn't say anything again, he was ready to leave immediately.
But when the visitor raised his voice to call the shopkeeper Ye Chuan, several soldiers on one side who were about to return to the team had already eaten and drank enough. They patted the table and called the shopkeeper to pay.
Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment, then responded immediately and stepped forward to pay the bill.
The visitor looked slightly nervous and stared at Ye Chuan, his eyes unblinking. His body was slightly forward and tilted, as if he was ready to run away at any time, or was about to explode at the next moment.
Ye Chuan didn't do anything extra. He just collected the money, bowed and saluted, sent the soldiers out, then came back, cleaned up the leftovers on the table, and returned to the counter.
The visitor stared suspiciously, and was about to open his mouth to speak for the last time, when he heard Ye Chuan say hoarsely: "No need to say it."
The visitor was stunned, because the formal connection process requires Ye Chuanzhuan to go through which side of the incision, and then answer it himself, so that both parties can confirm their identities.
Now this is...
Just when the visitor felt a little strange, he saw Ye Chuan take out a small earthen jar from under the wine cabinet.
"Huh..." Ye Chuan looked at the small earthen pot, remained silent for a while, and then placed the earthen pot on the counter, "Take it...this is what you want..."
The visitor stared at the earthen pot and looked up at Ye Chuan suspiciously.
Could this guy really have taken a small earthen jar of Baimozhi wine?
"Defense at Huguan." Ye Chuan patted the earthen pot and said, "Everything I know has been painted on it... There are some places that I can't go to, so there are no paintings..."
The visitor slowly took the jar.
The earthen jar is relatively light and obviously does not contain any alcohol.
The visitor opened the stopper of the earthen jar, and then quickly scanned the contents of the earthen jar with the light. When he saw that it looked like paper, he put the stopper back on, hugged the earthen jar, and lifted it slightly.
He nodded and whispered, "I am now in charge of Huguan... you and the men you recruited, starting from today..."
"I don't have any subordinates." Ye Chuan interrupted the visitor, "I don't want to work for you anymore. Take these things away, and you shouldn't come..."
The visitor's eyes turned cold, "What do you mean? Are you going to betray the emperor and the great man?"
"Emperor? Big man?" Ye Chuan smiled bitterly, "What did the emperor give me? What did the big man give me? Everything you see now was neither given to me by the emperor nor by the big man..."
Now, I am just an ordinary citizen, and I don’t want to get involved with you..."
The visitor sneered, "This matter... is not up to you! Think about the parents and wives in your hometown! I know you may be a little confused now, but it doesn't matter, just think about it carefully..."
After speaking, the visitor turned around and left, leaving Ye Chuan sitting behind the counter in a daze...
……(⊙⊙)……
The chaotic killing outside Huguan is of course not just for killing.
It was to cover Yuan Yuan and others entering Huguan.
If Yuan Yuan wants to sneak into Huguan, the first condition is to find someone who is slightly similar in appearance to him, and the second is to get this person's household registration certificate.
It is not difficult to find similar people, because Yuan Yuan is not one of those people who rides in sedans and cars all day long. He originally came from a poor family. He has picked up a hoe and a knife and a gun. His hands are covered with thick calluses and his skin is dark. He is no different from other farmers.
different.
The difficult thing is household registration.
Without this household registration certificate, it would be very difficult to settle down in Huguan.
If you arrive at Huguan as a foreigner, let alone free contact with informants, even a slightly outrageous behavior will immediately attract an investigation from the gang, and your identity may be exposed...
But now that we have a formal identity, it is much simpler and there is more freedom.
In the current era of the Han Dynasty, it is of course impossible to check a person's identity with anything like a portrait, nor are there any powerful identification items such as fingerprints. The only difficulty is to obtain relevant documents or imitation documents.
…
Imitation is too cumbersome. You need to get the real thing first, and then have a skilled craftsman make a similar one, so Yuan Yuan simply gets the real thing.
No one would give him the real certificate.
So some unlucky people were targeted.
In the chaos, the spies of Cao Jun who were exposed were only covering the actions of Yuan Yuan and others, and they were dead. However, Yuan Yuan and others got the real certificate and used it to sneak into Huguan.
Yuan Yuan is a member of the Yuan family. If we are serious about it, he may be related to Yuan Shao or Yuan Tan. However, it is precisely because of this relationship that he does not do well in Jizhou. Others can rely on
He climbed up the ladder through relationships, but he could only choose this dangerous path.
Huguan defense map!
The defense plan includes but is not limited to the location, number of people, equipment, etc. of the army, as well as some internal announcements about the army, the deployment of generals and military academies, personnel situations, etc. It can be said to be the key lifeblood of a city's military.
Of course, just a small wine shop cannot obtain a comprehensive defense map, but the general military situation is still very valuable. It can at least let Cao Jun know where Huguan has heavy troops and where it is empty.
It didn't hit the steel head first, but let go of the paper wall.
Yuan Yuan noticed that there were many old records in this defense map, but as time went by, the number of recorded items became less and less. In the past year, there were only a few items...
"Haha..." Yuan Yuan sneered, and then he couldn't help but feel vigilant. It seems that he did not stop at the small wine shop, nor did he inform him that his destination was correct. Judging from the current situation, the shopkeeper of the small wine shop
, I'm afraid it has been assimilated by the hussars!
It's really scary to think about it. A man who was originally born in Shandong and grew up in Shandong, and who was a loyal soldier for the emperor and the Han Dynasty at the beginning, was actually assimilated under the hussar in such a short time!
What about original loyalty?
Can he still be called a big man?
Yuan Yuan felt somewhat angry.
What is left of the big man now?
Although there are some things about Cao Cao, after all, the emperor is here with Cao Cao, in Shandong, so the place in Shandong must represent the emperor's intention, even if everyone knows that it may not be the emperor's personal intention, but the big man is so
Hasn't it been like this for many years?
If the emperor is strong, then the emperor's will will be carried out in the world. But if the emperor is weak, then the powerful ministers will naturally act on his behalf!
This is the tradition of the Han Dynasty and the foundation of the Han Dynasty's founding of the country for three to four hundred years!
Now that something has been introduced, how can the people of Shandong accept it?
It’s hard to calm down!
Yuan Yuan slowly read through these documents, hoping to find the weakest point in Huguan, or the most critical node, the kind that can affect the whole body with a single move. Unfortunately, there is no document record that can give him the answer.
——At least, he didn’t give him any clear answer.
After all, the shopkeeper of a small wine shop does not have much ability to detect key information.
Even if the shopkeeper has been assimilated, even if there is an opportunity, he may deliberately ignore it, but this possibility may not be impossible.
what to do?
Should we take advantage of the fact that the harm has not been completely assimilated and take certain risks to squeeze out the remaining value as much as possible, or should we eliminate risks as much as possible and deal with the shopkeeper of this small wine shop first?
When Yuan Yuan was still hesitant, he suddenly saw a record.
This record was written down two years ago.
The content of the document is not complicated. It only records that Huguan recruited some civilians to repair the Huguan city wall in the late autumn and early winter two years ago, and moved some civil engineering and other works within the city wall...
Repairing the city wall is not a rare thing, so the owner of the small wine shop did not write too much and just recorded it out of habit. But when combined with the previous record, Yuan Yuan seemed to have found a flaw!
Because there is a record in the front that a lot of kerosene was sent from Guanzhong to Huguan!
Kerosene has a pungent smell, so you can smell it as you pass by without looking.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these may be just two unrelated matters, but Yuan Yuan constructed a possibility in his mind. Could it be that these farmers were doing the construction work just to dig a storage place for the kerosene?
place?
Everyone knows that kerosene is dangerous and needs to be stored in a cool place and away from flames. At the same time, it must take into account defensive needs and can be used nearby. Otherwise, if the enemy attacks the city, they will have to fight from a distance.
Prepare...
Therefore, the best place to store kerosene is the stone chamber in the turret on the city. However, the stone chamber is small and needs to store other ordnance, so the amount of kerosene cannot be stored in large quantities. Therefore, it is better to store kerosene in a place closer to the city wall.
The cellar is undoubtedly the best place!
If you can find this cellar, and then take advantage of the chaos in the siege to throw a fire into it...
ha!
Yuan Yuan suddenly became energetic...
……(`Д*)9……
After Yuan Yuan left the small wine shop, the shopkeeper Ye Chuan closed the shop early.
The cook who was in charge was confused and was prevaricated by Ye Chuan. As long as his salary was not deducted, the cook was naturally willing to take a rest early, so the restaurant quickly became quiet.
Ye Chuan sat in the shadows.
It seems that only being in the shadows can bring him some sense of security.
No one is born willing to live in the shadows...
His family and hometown, which he had almost forgotten, surged up like a tide at this moment and rushed to his heart, making him feel sore and painful.
He originally also read books.
When he was studying, everyone praised him for his intelligence and his photographic memory...
He also didn't expect that his photographic memory would now be used in this aspect.
I left my hometown because there was no room for promotion in my hometown.
The local families in Shandong occupy almost all the places where light can be seen, leaving not even a crack.
The uncle who was the county magistrate, the second uncle who was Congcao, the uncle who was the grain chief, the third uncle who was the third elder...
All positions with official pay, all places with authority, belong to a certain family, or are married to this family.
There is a benefit, and it will never reach the end of the world, and there is a light, and it will never belong to other families.
The rest of the people either endured it slowly or left early.
Ye Chuan wanted to leave. He chose a quick way to find a place with light as soon as possible, but no one jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. He also had a family...
It has been three years since I left Shandong and arrived in Huguan.
Ye Chuan also felt uneasy in his heart.
He fell in love with it here.
Because here, he can see the light.
The light shines on everyone, including those who study, those who serve as soldiers, and those who work in agriculture.
Only he doesn't, he just belongs to the darkness.
He also wanted to pretend that he was bright, but now, the false bubble was burst.
Ye Chuan sighed deeply.
On the street, people still seemed to be coming and going, and there were still footsteps, but it seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore...
Just as Ye Chuan was sighing with emotion, suddenly, the door panel of the wine shop was knocked open, and several figures rushed in!
Before Ye Chuan could react, he was held down by someone, and then his head was pressed, his hands and feet were pressed, and it was difficult to even move a finger!
"That's him!" An older soldier in armor pointed at Ye Chuan with some pride, "I was eating here with a few colleagues today, and I saw someone sneaking up and saying something to him! And I
It sounds like that guy has a Shandong accent!』
These days, there is always suspicion of guilt.
Someone from the Wen Department waved his hand, and then some professional people began to look around in the wine shop.
Soon, the hidden compartment where Ye Chuan hid the money on the counter was found, and the coins inside were poured out. However, no one took a second look at the money, and no one went to take it. Instead, they continued to look for other coins.
Hidden compartments, or hidden items.
Ye Chuan looked at it in horror.
When he saw someone starting to step on the table, reaching up high and starting to knock on the wooden boards on the wall like a woodpecker, and looking at the beams, Ye Chuan closed his eyes in pain.
"Found it!" Someone made a surprised voice.
Ye Chuan regretted that he should have thrown away or simply burned the certificates representing his Shandong identity.
He couldn't help crying, tears rolling down his face.
He felt that he must be dead. He suddenly missed his family, his parents and his wife...
The unfilial son, this unfilial son, failed to find a place with light in the end, and finally died in the darkness.
Ye Chuan was crying, while the others were laughing.
The leader of the Wen Division patted the veteran on the shoulder and said, "Yes, you have made a contribution this time!"
The veteran opened his mouth and laughed, "How many heads can this skill... count for? Now that I've chopped him off, can I count one more?"
The man from Wensi also laughed, "This can't be done. Don't worry, I will report your merit to the meritorious officer tomorrow. You can have someone check it for you in two days, or you can check it yourself... If you want,
You can exchange it for anything, or you can just save it up. Congratulations, you did a good job!"
The old soldier laughed heartily and said repeatedly that it should be done. Then he left happily with the congratulations of the other people who heard about the situation.
The leader of the Youwen Division squatted down in front of Ye Chuan, who was tied up like a domestic dolphin, "Why bother? School Secretary, you are hiding so well... Do you know how long we have been watching you?"
"How long?" Ye Chuan asked.
"Two years." Someone from Wensi said, "From the time you were going to open a wine shop..."
Judging from this time, it seems that the person who happened to come to contact was discovered by the old soldier, but in fact, in the internal report of the Youwen Division, it was highlighted that all restaurants, restaurants and inns are the focus of attention.
.Even if the old pawn is not alert and discovered this time, as long as the behavior touches the red line, it will be noticed by others and exposed.
Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then murmured, "I actually... really, I don't want this... I don't want to pay attention to him... it's just that I have family..."
You Wensi tilted his head slightly and listened, then smiled, "Don't you know? Oh, maybe you really don't know... Qiusi is kind and can give you a way to live, and he can also protect your family as much as possible.
Come to Guanzhong..."
"What?!" Ye Zhenzhen didn't know these things.
"But none of this is free..." Someone from Wensi said with a smile, "You have to make merit! Understand? Make merit!"
"..." Ye Chuan fell silent. Of course he understood what meritorious service meant. After a moment, Ye Chuan asked tentatively, "If...I mean, if...if I really made meritorious service, I can take it."
Family, and then...then live like you?"
"We live the same life?" Youwensi frowned and said, "You mean Youwensi? I'm afraid not."
"No!" Ye Chuan turned his attention to the wine shop, "I just... hope to open this wine shop... like an ordinary person..."
"Liquor shop?" The leader of the Youwen Division also looked around, and then laughed, "This... I think there should be no problem... Of course, the premise is that you have enough merit... If your merit is big enough,
You can even open a restaurant!』
"Wine shop, restaurant..."
Ye Chuan murmured, and then his eyes gradually became brighter...
