Three Kingdoms

  『Baimozhijiu…』

  Ye Chuan was a little dazed.

  The visitor nodded and said, "That's right, Baimozhijiu. Baimo is the end of Baicao Hua. Purpose, beauty also. It is fragrant and beautiful because it is mixed with the end of a hundred herbs and flowers. In the past, when I got to drink it in Luoyang, I never thought that it would be a long time. 』

  The visitor stared at Ye Chuan while talking. One hand was on the counter, but the other was hidden under the counter.

  Ye Chuan seemed to be in a trance, as if he heard it, but also as if he didn't hear it. He habitually picked up the rag, wiped it on the counter, and then turned his back to the counter, as if to wipe the wine grid behind the counter again.

  When the visitor saw this, he repeated it again, but with a louder tone of voice, and obviously became a little harsher.

  Ye Chuan didn't expect to hear this sentence again.

   This is a dedicated linker code word.

  Baimozhi wine is a kind of mellow and delicious wine brewed from the end of a hundred flowers in the Han Dynasty. "At the end of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there was a minister who drank wine, fighting for a thousand dollars" refers to this kind of wine.

   Now that these words have not only named the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, but also named Luo Yang, it is basically certain...

  Whether it is in Guanzhong or Longxi, most people would not choose to drink "Baimozhi Liquor". On the one hand, it is too expensive, and on the other hand, it does not conform to the local customs.

  The visitor did not know Ye Chuan, so he could only confirm his identity through such code words.

   corresponds to a connector.

  The visitor saw that Ye Chuan didn't answer, and was about to raise his voice and ask a third time. If Ye Chuan didn't say anything, he was going to leave immediately.

  But when the visitor raised his voice and called the shopkeeper Ye Chuan, a few soldiers on the side who were about to return to the team were already full, and they patted the table and called the shopkeeper to pay the bill.

  Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment, then responded immediately, and went to pay the bill.

  The person who came was staring at Ye Chuan nervously, his eyes were fixed, and his body was slightly forward, leaning a little, as if he was ready to run away at any time, or was about to explode in the next moment.

  Ye Chuan didn't do anything extra, just collected the money, bowed his waist and saluted, sent some soldiers out, and then came back to clean up the leftovers on the table and table, and went back behind the counter.

  The visitor stared at it suspiciously, and was about to open his mouth to say the last time, but he heard Ye Chuan say in a hoarse voice: "Needless to say. 』

  The person who came was stunned for a moment, because of the formal joint process, Ye Chuanhuan still needed to make an incision on that side, and then he would answer it himself, so that the two parties could confirm their identities.

   Now this is...

  When the visitor felt a little strange, he saw Ye Chuan take out a small crock under the wine cabinet.

  『Huh...』Ye Chuan looked at the small earthen pot, remained silent for a while, then put the earthen pot on the counter, "Take it... this is what you want..."

  The person who came was staring at the crock pot, and looked up at Ye Chuan suspiciously.

  Could this guy have really taken a small earthen jar of Baimozhi wine?

  『Huguan arming. ’ Ye Chuan patted the earthen pot, “Everything I know has been written and painted on it... Some places I can’t go to, so there are no paintings...”

  The visitor slowly took the crock.

  The earthen jar is relatively light, and it is obviously not filled with alcohol.

The visitor opened the stopper of the earthen jar, and then quickly glanced at the contents of the earthen jar according to the light. When he saw that it was indeed similar to paper towels, he put the stopper back on, hugged the earthen jar, and nodded slightly. Nodding his head, he said in a low voice, "I'm in charge of Huguan now...you and the men you recruited, starting from today..."

  『There are no subordinates. ’ Ye Chuan interrupted the visitor, ‘I don’t want to do it to you either. Take these things away, and you don’t want to come…”

  The visitor's eyes turned cold, "What do you mean?" Do you want to betray the emperor and betray the great man? 』

  『Son of Heaven? Big man? ’ Ye Chuan smiled wryly, ‘What did the emperor give me? What did the big man give me? Everything you see now was not given to me by the emperor, nor was it given to me by a big man...I am just an ordinary citizen now, and I don't want to get involved with you...』

  The visitor sneered, "This matter...is not up to you! Think of the old wives in your hometown! I know you may be a little confused right now, but it’s okay, just think about it clearly...』

  After speaking, the visitor turned and left, leaving only Ye Chuan sitting behind the counter in a daze...

  ...(⊙⊙)...

  The chaotic killings outside Huguan are of course not just for killing.

  It was to cover Yuan Yuan and others from entering Huguan.

  Yuan Yuan wanted to sneak into Huguan, the first condition was to find someone who was slightly similar in shape and appearance to him, and the second was to get the person's household registration certificate.

It is not difficult to find similar ones, because Yuan Yuan is not someone who sits in sedan chairs and cars all day long. He was originally from a poor family. He has held a **** and a knife and gun. His hands are covered with thick calluses and his skin is dark. He is not different from other farmers. different.

  The most difficult thing is household registration.

   Without this household registration certificate, it is very difficult to settle in Huguan.

  If you come to Huguan as a foreigner, don’t talk about free contact with informants, even if you behave a little out of line, you will immediately be interrogated by Fang Ding, or your identity will be exposed...

   Now that you have a formal identity, it is much simpler, and there is also a lot of freedom.

In the current era of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to check a person's identity, of course there is no such thing as a portrait, and there are no strong identification items such as fingerprints. The only difficulty is to obtain the relevant certificates, or to imitate the certificates …

  Imitation is too cumbersome, first you have to get the real one, and then you have to have a craftsman make a similar one, so Yuan Yuan simply took the real one.

  No one will give him a real certificate.

  So some unlucky ones were targeted.

  In the chaos, the exposed Cao Jun spies were only covering the actions of Yuan Yuan and others, and they would die if they died, but Yuan Yuan and others got the real certificate, and used this certificate to sneak into Huguan.

  Yuan Yuan is a member of the Yuan family. If he is careful, he might have some relatives with Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan, but it is precisely because of this connection that he did not do well in Jizhou. Others can rely on relationships to climb up, but he can only choose this dangerous path.

  Huguan arming map!

  Deployment map, including but not limited to the location, number, equipment, etc. of the army, as well as some internal announcements about the army, the deployment of the general military academy, personnel situation, etc., can be said to be the key lifeblood of a city's military.

Of course, it is impossible to obtain a comprehensive defense map with only a small wine shop, but the general military situation is still very valuable. At least it can let Cao Jun know where Huguan has heavy troops and where it is empty. It wouldn't hit the steel with one head, but let go of the paper wall.

  Yuan Yuan noticed that there were many old records in this deployment map, but the items recorded became less and less as time went by. In the past year, there were even only a few items...

  『Hehe…』Yuan Yuan sneered, and then he couldn't help becoming vigilant. It seems that he did not stop at the small restaurant, nor did he tell him that his place of residence was correct. Judging from the current situation, the shopkeeper of this small restaurant may have been assimilated by the hussars!

  It’s really scary to think about it. A person who was originally born in Shandong and grew up in Shandong, and at the beginning, he was a dead man who was loyal to the emperor and the great man.

  What about the original loyalty?

   Can he still be called a man of great man?

  Yuan Yuan was somewhat resentful.

  Big man, what else is left?

Although Cao Cao's place, there are more or less such things, but after all, today's emperor is here in Cao Cao, in Shandong, so Shandong must represent the meaning of the emperor, even if everyone knows that it may not be the meaning of the emperor himself, but the big man is so Hasn't it been like this for many years?

  If the Son of Heaven is strong, then the will of the Son of Heaven will be carried out in the world, but if the Son of Heaven is weak, then it is natural that the ministers of power will act on the will of the Son of Heaven!

   This is the tradition of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the foundation of the Han Dynasty for three or four hundred years!

   Now that something has been separated, how can the people in Shandong accept it? !

   It's hard to understand!

Yuan Yuan slowly flipped 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, but unfortunately there is no document record to give him the answer — At least he didn't give him any clear answer.

   After all, the shopkeeper of a small restaurant does not have much ability to spy on key information.

   Even shopkeepers who have been assimilated, even if they have the opportunity, they may deliberately ignore it, and it is not necessarily impossible that there is such a possibility.

what to do?

   Taking advantage of the fact that the harm has not been fully assimilated, taking a certain risk to squeeze the remaining value as much as possible, or eliminating the risk as much as possible, first solve the shopkeeper of this small restaurant?

   While Yuan Yuan was still hesitant, he suddenly saw a record.

   This record was recorded two years ago.

  The content of the document is not complicated, it just records that in the late autumn and early winter of Huguan two years ago, some civilians were recruited to repair the city wall of Huguan, and some civil engineering was carried out inside the city wall...

   Repairing the city wall is not a rare thing, so the owner of the small restaurant didn't put too much ink on it, but just recorded it habitually, but when combined with the previous record, Yuan Yuan seemed to have found a flaw!

  Because there is a record in the front, a lot of kerosene was sent from Guanzhong to Huguan!

   Kerosene has a pungent smell, so you can smell it without looking.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these may be just two irrelevant items, but Yuan Yuan has constructed a possibility in his mind, whether the civil engineering done by these farmers is to dig a storage place for these kerosene place?

Everyone knows that kerosene is dangerous, and it needs to be stored in a cool place, and it must be kept away from candles. At the same time, it must also take into account the needs of defense. Deploy...

   Therefore, the best place to store kerosene is the stone room of the turret on the city. It's just that the stone chamber is small, and other ordnance needs to be placed, so the amount of kerosene stored will not be large. Therefore, the cellar that is relatively close to the city wall is undoubtedly the best place!

  If you can find this cellar, and then take advantage of the siege and chaos, throw a fire into it...

ha!

  Yuan Yuan regained his spirit immediately...

  …(`Д*)9…

  After Yuan Yuan left the small restaurant, the shopkeeper Ye Chuan closed early.

  The cook Ding who was in charge of the spoon didn't know what to do, and Ye Chuan prevaricated him. As long as the salary is not deducted, Pao Ding is naturally willing to rest early, so the small restaurant quickly quieted down.

  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...

  The family and hometown that he had almost forgotten, surged up like a tide at this moment, and rushed to his heart, making him feel sore and painful.

  He had also read the book.

  When he was studying, everyone praised him for being smart and having a photographic memory...

  He also didn't expect that his ability to never forget is now being used in this respect.

  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, and there is not even a crack left.

  The uncle of the county magistrate, the second uncle of Cong Cao, the uncle of the food chief, the third uncle of the third elder...

  All positions that can eat official food, all places that can have authority, are people from a certain family, or people who are married to this family.

  There are benefits, never to the land, there is light, and never belong to the people of other families.

  The rest of the people, either suffer slowly, or leave early.

  Ye Chuan wanted to go, to leave, he chose to take a quick way, and wanted to find a place with light as soon as possible, but no one jumped out of a crack in the rock, he also had a family...

   It has been three years since I left Shandong and came to Huguan.

  Ye Chuan also felt uneasy in his heart.

  He fell in love with it.

   Because here, he can see the light.

  The light shines on everyone. People who read books, soldiers, and farmers all have light.

   Only he doesn't, he just belongs to the darkness.

  He also wanted to pretend that he was bright, but now, the bubble of falsehood was burst.

  Ye Chuan sighed deeply.

  On the street, it seems that there are still people coming and going, and there are still footsteps, but it seems that it has nothing to do with him...

   While Ye Chuan was feeling emotional, suddenly, the door of the restaurant 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 even a finger was struggling!

"it's him! ”An elderly soldier in battle armor pointed at Ye Chuan proudly, “I was having dinner with some of my comrades here today, and I saw someone sneaking up on him and saying something to him!” And I can hear that guy seems to have some Shandong accent! 』

  In these days, there is no suspicion of crime.

  Some people from the Wen Department waved their hands, and then some professional people began to look around in the wine shop.

Soon, the secret compartment where Ye Chuan hid money on the counter was found, and the coins inside were poured out, but no one looked at the money, and no one went to take it, but continued to search for other coins. A hidden compartment, or a hidden item.

  Ye Chuan watched in horror.

  When he saw someone stepping on the table, stretching out his hand to a high place and knocking on the wooden boards on the wall like a woodpecker, and setting his sights on the beam, Ye Chuan closed his eyes in pain.

"found it! 』Someone made a sound of surprise.

  Ye Chuan regretted it. He should have thrown away those certificates representing his Shandong identity, or simply burned them.

  He couldn't help crying, tears rolling down.

  He felt that he must be dying. He suddenly missed his family, his parents and wife...

  The unfilial son, he, the unfilial son, failed to find a place where there was light in the end, and finally died in the darkness.

  Ye Chuan was crying, while others were laughing.

  The leader of the Wen Division patted the veteran on the shoulder, "That's right, this time it's your meritorious service!" 』

  The veteran opened his mouth and laughed haha, "This skill... how many heads can be counted?" I cut him off now, can I count one more? 』

  Yu Wensi also laughed, "This is impossible. Don't worry, I will report your credit to the meritorious service tomorrow, and you can have someone check it for you in two days, or you can check it yourself... You can change it for whatever you want, or save it up, it doesn't matter. Congratulations, well done! 』

  The veteran laughed haha, said repeatedly that he should, and then walked away happily under the congratulations of the rest of the people in the news department.

  The leader of Youwen Division squatted down in front of Ye Chuan who was **** like a domestic porpoise, "Why bother?" School official, you hid it so well... Do you know how long we have been watching you? 』

"how long? ’ Ye Chuan asked.

  『Two years. A person from the news department said, "From the time you want to open a wine shop..."

Judging from this time, it seems that the person who happened to come to the meeting was spotted by the old man, but in fact, in the internal report of Youwen Division, it was pointed out that all restaurants, restaurants and inns are the key objects of attention . Even if the old soldier didn't notice this time, as long as his behavior touched the red line, it would be noticed by others and revealed.

  Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then murmured, "Actually, I...really, I don't want this either...I don't want to pay attention to him...it's just that I have family..."

   You Wensi tilted his head slightly to listen, then smiled, "Don't you know? Oh, maybe you really don’t know... Hussars are kind, they can give you a way out, and you can also bring your family members to Guanzhong as much as possible...』

"What? ! 』Ye Chuanfa didn't know about these things.

  『But none of this is free…』 A person from the news department said with a smile, 『We must make contributions! understand? meritorious service! 』

  『…』Ye Chuan fell silent, of course he understood what meritorious service meant. After a while, Ye Chuan asked tentatively, "If...I mean, if...if I really make meritorious service, I can bring my family back, and then...will I live like you? 』

  『We live the same? You Wensi frowned and said, "You mean You Wensi?" I'm afraid not. 』

"No! ”Ye Chuan turned his gaze to the restaurant, “I just...hope to keep this restaurant open...like an ordinary person...”

  『Winehouse? The head of 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 merits... If your merits are large enough, you can even open a restaurant ! 』

  『Winehouse, restaurant...』

  Ye Chuan murmured, and then gradually there was light in his eyes...
