The flames in the field shot up to a height of more than ten feet.
The crowd cheered.
Since leaving Ninh Binh, the convoy has been walking for several days in a row. Everyone is somewhat tired and depressed, both physically and mentally. It is rare to relax at this time, so naturally there is a commotion.
The three parties present were not stingy, and each contributed to the fun with practical actions. Sishufang pulled out a cart of pickled iron-skinned pork, each piece the size of a basin, and set them up around a bonfire, roasting until they were golden.
The yellow oil was fragrant; Wan Yaotang was not to be outdone, and not only took out several jars of good medicinal wine, but also specially prepared herbal tea to dispel cold and dampness for everyone to drink; Yinzhuang was the most direct, carrying a cup of wine in public
Thousands of silver coins were given out as a lottery to reward the young people who performed best in the evening.
As a result, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Wen Wu followed Li Ming's brother and sister into the venue and looked at the venue with great interest. Due to limited conditions, there were no tables on the venue, so everything was kept simple. Everyone sat on the ground like camping. However, although it was casual, the three parties still divided the territory.
Come, mark out an area for each area. It looks like a formation. When viewed from top to bottom, the layout shows the word "品".
"here!"
In the medicine hall, Yu Tong and another person had already sat down on the cloth mat and were waving. Wen Wu looked at her, smiled politely and nodded, and at the same time looked at the person next to her. Unexpectedly, the other person happened to also
While looking at him, their eyes met unexpectedly. Wen Wu reacted quickly and looked away almost in one breath, but he felt strange in his heart.
This man was a young man about the same age as Li Ming. He was well-dressed, wearing a white brocade silk shirt and a crown on his head. He was quite noble. However, his eyes were very unfriendly and aggressive.
Wen Wu was a little confused and didn't understand where the other person's malice came from. He had met the other person in the same motorcade, but they had only met each other in the air and had not had any communication.
Li Ming whispered: "This man's name is Chu Wenshu, and his grandfather is Deacon Chu."
"oh?"
Wen Wu was startled, a little surprised. This Deacon Chu, he knew a little, his name was Chu Tian, he was the deacon of Taiming Mansion Medicine Hall, and he was also the main person in charge of the medicine hall team this time. He was sitting in the middle seat in the front row.
Wen Wu was an old man who was over sixty years old, slightly fat, with a bald head and short beard. He glanced at the other person's back, thoughtfully. It was said that he was a fifth-level old medicine practitioner, quite famous, and his status in Taiming Medicine Hall was only
Second to the leader. This time he went north, it seemed that he was aiming for the sixth level title.
"You don't even know him?"
"I've seen it before..." Wen Wu sneered, but he didn't agree in his heart. Wanyaotang's convoy was said to be a convoy, but in fact the main body was only Taiming Yaodang, and the rest were just a ride. Wen Wu came from Yuanwang Town, so naturally he didn't
Exception. In the past few days, he was at the back of the team, while Taiming Medicine Hall was at the front. If not intentional, it would have been difficult for them to interact 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."
"Yeah." Wen Wu nodded. The implication was that this Chu Wenwen had a background and ability, but his temper might not be very good.
"Master Chu, I'm sorry, I'm late."
At the same time, Li Ming had already arrived at the table. He first greeted with a smile, and then introduced both parties, "Young Master Wen, this is the Young Master Chu Wenwen I told you about."
Wen Wu smiled and cupped his hands, "Hello."
"Young Master Chu, he is the friend I told you I met a few days ago, Young Master Wen Wuwen."
"Oh." Chu Wenwen sat down and raised his chin slightly as a response, without any intention of getting up. This made Yu Tong, who had already stood up next to him, a little embarrassed.
Wen Wu was not upset and just put down his hand.
Li Ming smiled dryly and said, "Uh, ha, Mr. Chu..."
Chu Wenwen interrupted him, raised his eyes, and said, "I heard that there was an outsider in the motorcade. He didn't even say hello after he arrived. He hasn't even seen my grandfather yet. Could it be you?"
Wen Wu replied with a serious smile: "Probably not."
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 darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Hey! It turns out it's not you. Let me tell you, my dogs all know to bark twice before entering the door. How can anyone be so ignorant of etiquette!"
Wen Wu smiled and nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
Chu Wenwen was suffocated and then refused to give up, "Hey? Do you know who he is? I heard from Li Ming that you are from Yuanwang Town? That's a coincidence. I heard that that person is also from Yuanwang Town.
!”
"have no idea."
"Can't you? There are only so many people in the entire convoy, and you all come from the same country. How can you not recognize each other in that place? What's more, you are such an uneducated person!"
"I don't know." Wen Wu still smiled, shook his head, and gave a suggestion: "How about you ask Lieutenant Li? Regarding the deployment of personnel, he is fully responsible. He knows best."
Chu Wenwen's complexion changed and turned slightly blue.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Li Ming quickly interrupted, "Ah ha, you two, you two, the banquet is about to begin, how about we sit down first? Sit down and talk later, sit down and talk later."
As he said that, he winked at Yu Tong. The latter remained silent, only observing secretly from the side. After hearing the words, his eyes turned and he responded: "That's right, Senior Brother Chu, let's sit down and talk."
However, Chu Wenwen was not ready to give up, "Hey, he has an unknown origin..."
"Clerical, come here."
Suddenly, he was interrupted by a call from in front. When everyone looked, they saw Chu Tian, who was sitting in the middle seat, turning his head at some point, waving, smiling and nodding at several people.
Li Ming and the other three were a little frightened and hurriedly greeted them.
Wen Wu was stunned for a moment. Others didn't know it, but he felt that the other party paused for a moment when looking at each other, and coupled with the right nodding movement, the traces of deliberateness were quite obvious.
"Humph!" Chu Wenshu's displeasure was almost written on his face. He snorted coldly, dropped a few words and got up and left, "Junior sister Yutong, I know you have always been kind to others, but you must also be careful to recognize people with eyes.
!”
"Thank you, senior brother, for your teaching." Yu Tong bowed his head and accepted the teaching.
Wen Wu was noncommittal, but it was Li Ming whose expression was a little unnatural. However, he was older and still had some magnanimity. In a flash, he smiled again as if nothing had happened, "Ha, Young Master Wen, Young Master Chu's temper is like this. In fact,
He doesn't mean any harm, don't mind. Come on, sit down and talk, don't stand all the time and block the people behind you."
"Xinxin, come here." Yu Tong remained calm and just pulled Li Xin over.
"Then let's sit here, Mr. Wen..."
In order to ease the atmosphere, Li Ming said some more words, but they were mostly innocuous. Wen Wu agreed with a smile and didn't say anything, while Li Xin still looked confused until now. Only Yu Tong's behavior was a bit strange. Regarding Chu Wenshen's
Regarding her attitude, she didn't make any expression, she just pulled Li Xin to whisper, without any intention of talking to anyone else.
There were quite a few people watching the excitement around, but unfortunately as soon as Chu Wenwen left, it was all in vain. At the same time, the banquet was about to begin, and everyone's attention was quickly diverted.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wen."
"It's okay." Wen Wu was slightly surprised by Li Ming's whispered apology, then he smiled knowingly and also lowered his voice, "I should apologize for causing trouble to you and Uncle Li Kuang."
"No, I invited you here, so you can laugh. Chu Wenshu, hehe, he wouldn't even bother me. Not to mention Uncle Li, let alone him, even his grandfather wouldn't dare to come.
." Li Ming sat upright, talking and looking at the bonfire venue in front of him, but he looked very focused and did not attract any attention.
"Hoo."
Wen Wu smiled and stopped talking. This is the truth. Although in terms of personal status, Chu Tian may be one level higher than Li Kuang, but Li Kuang is not a soft persimmon. As the instructor of the Zhenfu Army's cavalry and archery battalion, he is also a follower of the government.
The captain of the personal guard team who has served for many years, the two identities are superimposed. Even an ordinary sixth-level court official must be polite when meeting him. What's more, he was appointed by Qu Hong to escort the convoy. In this regard, Chu Tian
It was impossible not to know. Wen Wu's heart moved, and he suddenly understood the origin of Chu Tian's attitude just now.
Although he has been "reclusive" these days and rarely communicates with others, Li Kuang's frequent condolences are seen by everyone. While others may not know it, Chu Tian should know that Li Kuang is a Qu
People assigned by Hong. From this calculation, it is not difficult to deduce the connection. Wen Wu made a simple calculation and made a rough guess.
I am afraid that this Chu Tian is already 70-80% sure. However, thinking from his perspective, Wen Wu felt that if he were him, he would probably choose to pretend to be deaf and mute and wait and see what happens. After all, if he takes the initiative to find
No matter whether his identity is related to Qu Hong or not, it is of no benefit to him. Instead, he doesn't ask questions, at least he doesn't have to be responsible.
This fifth-level pharmacist deacon is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is an old fox.
