Everyone was stunned, Zhang Yunzheng was the first to react, looked around, and said to himself: "It's here..."
Ji Wenzhao raised his hand and said, "Wait! Wait... Don't say it, let me think about it, how can the third prince leave the capital?!"
He also looked left and right like Zhang Yunzheng did, and finally landed on a rock. They were about to enter the mountains, with plains and hills behind them and mountains in front. It was late at this time, the winter sun was hanging obliquely, and the sun was weak.
Ji Wenzhao looked around for a long time, jumped off the rock, came over and asked Shen Wen seriously: "Has the Beirong arrived here?"
Shen Wen nodded, waved his hands a little decadently and said, "Everyone is tired today, let's rest quickly. We will leave at dawn tomorrow, and we can take a good look at the environment along the way."
It was true that Ji Wenzhao and the others were exhausted, so they split up to help gather firewood and make a fire, boil water and make cakes. After everyone rested, Zhang Yunzheng found Zheng Shenwen and motioned her to follow him. When the two of them arrived outside the curtain, it was already dark.
Zhang Yunzheng asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Wen sighed, pointed to his chest and said, "I just feel uncomfortable here."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Are you scared?"
Shen Wen didn't speak for a while, and after a long time, he slowly said: "I'm afraid I did something wrong."
Zhang Yunzheng hummed, but didn't say anything more. The two stood silently in the darkness, Shen Wen suddenly had an urge to rely on Zhang Yunzheng. Although he didn't understand what he was thinking, couldn't understand the confusion in his heart at this moment, but he stood beside him. He has led this team through many hardships along the way, and has never flinched...
Shen Wen said softly, "Thank you."
Zhang Yunzheng twitched the corner of his mouth: "Coward! What's so scary? With me here, what are you worried about?"
Shen Wen nodded, looked up at the mountain wall, and sighed deeply: "Okay, let's continue walking."
Everyone rested all night, and set off at dawn the next day.
On this day, Ji Wenzhao's four princes all rode cattle and walked together with Zhang Yunzheng. Several people observed the environment all the way, walked for a day, and when they camped again, Ji Wenzhao went to Shen Wen confidently and said, "I know what's going on!"
Yan Shi heard him say this, and hurriedly came over: "What's going on?"
Ji Wenzhao winked and told Shen Wenyan and the Fourth Prince to follow him, beckoning to Zhang Yunzheng, "Come, let's go up to the high slope over there and talk."
A few people walked up the high slope. Ji Wenzhao pointed to the mountains in the north and said: "We have come all the way to the plains, and that is the first mountainous area we encountered. If the Northern Army raises troops and enters from the northwest, once they pass there, they will It's even more difficult to stop if we enter a vast flat area. If we still have military strength, we must block the Beirong in this mountain."
He sighed and said: "Before I set off, I knew that the military department of the imperial court was completely among the people who supported the prince. If the Beirong came, the third prince must have invited troops to fight against the enemy, which delayed the military opportunity and failed to send Beibei in time." Rong Du fought in the mountains, but fought in this hilly and plain area, and he was bound to be defeated and died for the country."
Shen Wen said heavily: "By the way, most of what I saw was that when the battle broke out at the border, my father and brother died, and there was no Shen family army left. Marquis Pingyuan invited troops to take command to fight against Beirong. The third prince said that he would like to fight with Marquis Pingyuan. Let's go out together, the emperor agrees."
Ji Wenzhao said with emotion: "Marquis Pingyuan has not been involved in military affairs for many years. I never thought he would be such a loyal man!"
Yan said: "If the country does not survive, the family will not be attached! He is a man who understands the overall situation and is brave enough to take on important responsibilities."
The fourth prince was a little choked up: "The third prince... son... has always yearned to gallop on the battlefield."
Shen Wen said with tears in his eyes: "My third brother and eldest sister also summoned Ding Yibing to go with us."
Ji Wenzhao clenched his fist and slammed it on the palm of his hand: "It shouldn't be! If you don't leave an escape path like this, you will be plotted against!"
Yan Shi also said: "Yes, we now know the prince's heart, so he will definitely take the opportunity to attack!"
Shen Wen nodded: "As you said, the imperial court's soldiers and rations are all controlled by the prince, and the prince delayed the military supply and rations on the grounds of successive years of famine."
Yan scolded: "Short-sighted! Shameless and despicable villain!"
Ji Wenzhao shook his head: "Without food and grass, how can the army come out? We have also seen these days that the disasters in this plain are serious and the people are struggling to survive. Even after the famine passes, it is impossible to recover quickly, let alone resist foreign enemies? "
Shen Wen said: "Mrs. Pingyuanhou spent all her dowry and bought food and military supplies for Pingyuanhou at a high price. Pingyuanhou took 20,000 volunteers out of the city to fight against the enemy."
Zhang Yunzheng had seen his father and brother leave in his consciousness, and he almost shed tears for a moment, but he blinked vigorously to let the tears go back, he couldn't cry like a woman in front of these people.
Shen Wen said: "They were indeed late. By the time they got here, Bei Rong had already left the mountain..." She pointed in one direction: "Just over there, there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry from the Bei Rong army. Thousands of infantry, once confronted, fell into a tight siege."
Several people looked over there, Shen Wen calmed down and said: "Ping Yuanhou died in battle, my sister committed suicide to protect her innocence, my third brother and Mr. Zhang broke out of the siege by protecting the third prince, twenty thousand There are many volunteers, only about two hundred left."
Ji Wenzhao said darkly: "I understand, they didn't die at the hands of Bei Rong!"
Yan nodded and said, "The prince will definitely not let the third prince go back alive."
The fourth prince wanted to cry: "It shouldn't be like this, they are brothers..."
Ji Wenzhao snorted contemptuously: "What are brothers? An emperor in the previous dynasty killed seventeen of his brothers!"
Shen Wen continued: "As soon as Marquis Pingyuan left, the prince presented the evidence to the emperor that Marquis Zhenbei and Marquis Pingyuan colluded with the enemy, and pointed out that the third prince wanted to take this opportunity to seize military power and take advantage of the Beirong Rebellion to rise to power."
Ji Wenzhao gritted his teeth and said, "So ruthless!"
Shen Wen said: "The emperor dispatched 3,000 elite imperial guards and ordered them to kill the third prince at any cost. They cannot be allowed to join forces with Bei Rong."
Ji Wenzhao nodded and said, "The crown prince must be very aware of the taboos of the emperor. If the third prince uses the soldiers against the Northern Rong to force the palace, the emperor's throne will be lost."
Shen Wen spoke in a rare and strong tone: "The third prince and those volunteer soldiers who broke through the siege of the Beirong retreated to the south, and fell into the hands of the imperial forest army who were waiting for them. They did not die under the sword of the barbarians, but died in the Under the knife of the imperial forest army! You say, should such a thing be allowed to happen?"
Ji Wenzhao said: "Now I understand why you hate the emperor and prince! They are indeed hateful!"
The fourth prince murmured: "If this is the case, our dynasty will surely perish!"
Zhang Yunzheng said viciously: "The royal family is ashamed of Zhongliang, unable to protect the people, it is exhausted."
Yan said: "What is the royal spirit? The people of the country are ruined because of these villains!"
Shen Wen nodded and said, "Exactly, the Bei Rong slaughtered wantonly in order to occupy the Central Plains."
Ji Wenzhao nodded and said, "How can a foreign race treat my people well? How can there be peace if Han and bandits are not at odds?"
The fourth prince asked: "Then how did my... friend, the fourth prince, end up?"
Shen Wen glanced at the fourth prince: "He didn't do anything, he just followed the emperor to the south, and was confined to death by the prince."
Although it could be said that Shen Wen was talking nonsense and had nothing to say, the fourth prince felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. He could really feel that he was locked up in a deserted courtyard and died in obscurity. Never been warm, never lived...
Ji Wenzhao said to Shen Wen: "No wonder you want the third prince to be the emperor..."
Yan asked anxiously: "So what should we do now?!"
Shen Wen frowned and said, "I'm hesitating..."
Several people spoke at the same time: "What are you hesitating for?!"
Zhang Yunzheng pointed to Pingyuan and said: "I... people who are as close as father and brother, your eldest sister and third brother will die there, why are you hesitating?"
Ji Wenzhao also said: "If it is true as you said, the country will be ruined, the family will be destroyed, and the people will be destroyed. If you have the means to stop it, why hesitate?"
Shen Wen said to Ji Wenzhao: "You think you are talented, so let me tell you, this thing will happen in three years, you come to think of a way! See if you can not alarm the court now, but can resist the North in the future." Rong's method."
Ji Wenzhao nodded thoughtfully.
In the next two or three days, Ji Wenzhao fell into a demonic obstacle and walked on the road, looking at the surrounding environment with good eyesight. When camping, he chattered about his various plans to the Fourth Prince:
"Well, to win more with less, we need to use fire to attack, but our army is located in the south, and the Beirong came from the north, and it's winter, so if you set fire, you will burn yourself..."
"This kind of thing that knows the opportunity should have a sure chance of winning. You only need to ambush an army of 200,000 in the mountains, and when Beirong comes to attack... I know, I know, the emperor will definitely not do this! I have nothing to do now. There is no food for soldiers, even the Shen family's army is planned to be wiped out by the crown prince, let alone how to set up 200,000 soldiers..."
... He talked left and right, but he couldn't think of a plan that would not disturb the court. The corners of his mouth were rotten from anxiety, and the fourth prince followed him in anxiety.
After entering the mountainous area, Shen Wen led the team and walked through the mountains for half a day before entering a valley. On both sides of this valley are huge stone cliffs, with a width of two feet in the middle. The north wind whizzed through the valley, and people hunched forward against the wind.
Ji Wenzhao raised his head to look back and forth, and said regretfully, "This valley is full of rocks, and there are not enough trees, otherwise we could attack with fire."
After walking out of the valley, Shen Wen jumped off the cattle and said to Zhang Yunzheng, "There is a path to go up here."
Zhang Yunzheng asked people to guard the convoy and followed Shen Wen up the mountain.
Ji Wenzhao excitedly said to the fourth prince: "I just said that this valley is a good place to ambush! I have to go up and have a look!" He also got off the animals, and the fourth prince naturally followed him. Seeing this, Yan hurriedly said to Su Wanniang: "I have to follow them!" Get out of the car and chase them up the mountain.
Shi Helin said to Duan Zeng: "You and I stay here, it's too cold on the mountain!" Shi Helin wrapped himself up like a jujube core, and walked to Duan Zeng precariously. stayed.
Shen Wen led the way up, Zhang Yunzheng could keep up naturally, Ji Wenzhao and the fourth prince had a bit of a hard time, but Yan's footsteps were quick, and soon overtook Ji Wenzhao and the fourth prince. The mountain was steep, Ji Wenzhao and the fourth prince helped each other to move. Later Zhang Yunzheng saw that their footsteps were not steady, so he walked between the two of them, pushed Ji Wenzhao with one hand, and pulled the fourth prince with the other, and reached the top of the cliff behind Shen Wen and Yan Shi.
Several people stood firm, the cold wind piercing through the bones. Shen Wen pointed to his feet and said, "Look, this is the valley just now."
Ji Wenzhao looked down in fear, then retracted his head and said, "Is this the only way for Bei Rong in the future?"
Shen Wen nodded and said: "The prefect of Luoyi in the north surrendered, and Beirong got a guide for the terrain here. This is a shortcut to the south. If you don't take this road, you have to detour for hundreds of miles. The prefect of Zhuozhou in the northeast has called the people to defend the city against danger and not surrender. Taking this road is the first choice of Beirong."
The fourth prince asked: "Since we are going to the border, isn't it to block Bei Rong at the border?"
Shen Wen shook his head and said: "It can't be blocked. Although the Beibei army doesn't have the so-called million people, there are more than 500,000 people, of which the elite soldiers should be around 300,000. Tugu Khan's rate is nearly 400,000 people. Entering from the north of Yancheng, Huo Luo led hundreds of thousands of people to bypass Yancheng and enter from the northeast of Yancheng. My second brother led people to stop Huo Luo, but was killed by a traitor... "
Ji Wenzhao said loudly, "I said the soldiers should be divided into three groups!"
Zhang Yunzheng pushed him: "Don't interrupt!" He asked Shen Wen: "Then why did they get here?"
Shen Wen said: "Shen's army said that there are 200,000 soldiers, but they have reduced their troops year after year. The total number is only 150,000, of which about 50,000 are elite soldiers. Difficult to defeat the Beirong Iron Cavalry, almost the entire army was wiped out. My father and brother retreated into Yancheng with the remnants of the army, and the border cities fell one after another. Tugu Khan felt that Yancheng was about to be broken, so he sent his eldest son He Duo to lead the elite troops Go first from the northwest... ”
Ji Wenzhao said: "Look! Isn't this the division of troops into three groups?"
Zhang Yunzheng said, "Do you believe that I pushed you down?"
Ji Wenzhao ignored Zhang Yunzheng, and said to Shen Wen, "Go on."
Shen Wen said: "Tugu Khan led people to besiege Yancheng. There was no food in the city and no aid outside the city. My elder brother died in battle when he broke through the siege. The traitor opened the north gate, and my father's city was destroyed. After Tugu Khan broke Yancheng, Bringing troops from the north to the south, He Duo entered the plain all the way from here, and was stopped by Pingyuan Hou, so they were all slower than Huo Luo. Huo Luo's first army arrived at the capital, bloodbathed the capital, and shocked the whole country. The three armies marched together, along the way Burning and killing, all the soldiers in Xiangbing and Fuzhou have been cut down year after year, and they have long existed in name only, and no one dares to fight. In just nine months, all the north of the Yangtze River fell into the hands of Beirong... "
Several people were shivering from the cold.
Ji Wenzhao asked: "You... did you see it?"
Shen Wen nodded: "I saw it."
Ji Wenzhao nodded: "I shouldn't believe it, but I once read a book that said that some people can see the future because of their talents. No wonder you were able to guide me at that time."
The fourth prince's face was pale, and he said: "I... I will go to persuade the fourth prince... kneel down and beg the emperor... immediately strengthen the army..."
Shen Wen sneered: "Do you think the emperor and prince will listen?"
Ji Wenzhao shook his head and said: "The third prince has been calling for strong soldiers in the palace, and has said many times that the Northern Army will not die. His proposal to prepare soldiers with refugees is a good idea, but it has not been adopted. My mentor said that he would support the three soldiers." Prince, however, I don’t know how effective it will be. We believe this, but others may not believe it. The prince must say that these are deceitful words to deceive the public. At this time, we can only rely on ourselves. "
Yan asked Shen Wen anxiously: "You brought us here, you must be here to block Beirong, right?"
Ji Wenzhao looked around and said, "It must be here. If they go out of the valley, they will be like a broken bamboo. But how to stop them?" He looked up, down, left, and right, "Although there are some trees around here, they are far from enough to burn the valley. "
Shen Wen said: "Once the drought is over, there will be a year of floods... At that time, there will be a flash flood, which will wash all the trees on both sides into the valley..."
Ji Wenzhao said loudly: "This is my idea! Attack with fire!" But then frowned: "If the trees washed down by the flood next year, they will definitely not dry up and burn... Moreover, this valley is about ten miles long, and the trees How can there be so many? It only burns for a mile or two, and the soldiers of the Beirong rushed past, and not many people died."
Yan Shi looked at Shen Wen: "Do you want to attack with fire?"
Shen Wen looked at the valley in a daze, Zhang Yunzheng became anxious: "Are you scared again?!"
Shen Wen nodded, and Ji Wenzhao said: "It's really scary! Think about it, if hundreds of thousands of people pass by, if you can't stop them, your family and country will be lost..."
Zhang Yunzheng interrupted: "She's not afraid of this! She already has an idea! She's afraid of retribution!"
Several people looked at Shen Wen vigorously, Shen Wen blinked his eyes, and reluctantly said: "Every time I meditate, I feel a kind of power in the dark, telling me not to kill rashly, God has the virtue of good life..."
Ji Wenzhao said sharply: "What is recklessness?! Women's benevolence! Women are just confused! If you can block Bei Rong, how many lives can you save?! This is the virtue of good life!"
Shen Wen looked into the distance: "I used to hope to pay blood debts in blood, but now, I feel that if there is a way to avoid all this without bloodshed, I am willing to obey..."
Ji Wenzhao asked coldly: "You just talked about the tragic situation, but now you say that you will fight without bloodshed. Do you think all of us will agree with you? My strategy is also to kill people."
Shen Wen said: "Is it necessary to replace one kind of misery with another?"
Ji Wenzhao understood: "You mean, your strategy is very vicious, costing the lives of hundreds of thousands of people?! It must be an ambush here. It means that we have the advantage of the terrain, but you said that they are the elite soldiers of the Beirong, We need at least 200,000 soldiers to ensure victory, and now it is impossible... "
Shen Wen shook his head and said, "There are no more than a hundred people setting up an ambush here."
Several people were dumbfounded, Ji Wenzhao shook his head and said, "Impossible! How many of them can be killed?!"
Shen Wen said in a low voice: "At least He Duo's 100,000 cavalry can be abolished."
All of them showed astonishment, Ji Wenzhao thought for a long time, and finally bowed his head: "Okay, tell me, what should we do?"
Shen Wen talked about his plan.
After hearing this, several people felt that the cold had invaded their confidantes. He Duo lost most of his iron cavalry, which meant that the beast had no minions. How much chance was left of winning
Since Shen Wen told them about his plan, each of them became part of the plan. But everyone knows the cruelty of this, but no one disagrees.
After a long time, Ji Wenzhao sighed: "I don't have a better strategy than you. I understand you. Such a strategy is against the law of nature. But thinking that if there is such a day, the army of the Northern Rong will pass by below and bring blood to the Central Plains. Let me wait at this moment, how can I choose to be compassionate and do good to accumulate virtue! In this world, it is really difficult to be a good person!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "What's so difficult about this?! Defending the family and the country is justified!" He turned to look at Shen Wen: "Don't be afraid! I will do this. If there is retribution, I will bear it!"
Ji Wenzhao shook his head and said, "You are too young! This matter is very important. I don't believe in ghosts. I will come!"
Yan said, "Don't you still have to go to the border?"
Ji Wenzhao said melancholy: "It would be great if I could have a clone!"
The fourth prince said hesitantly: "If the royal family is really as you said, it has failed the people of the country, I can carry out this plan."
Shen Wen shook his head and said: "You want to go back to the capital, then you can do me a favor."
The fourth prince frowned and remained silent.
Shen Wen said: "This plan is very lethal. After sealing the valley entrance with grass and trees, write the words 'Bei Rong's soldiers, who enter will die' on the cliff."
Several people looked at each other, and Shen Wen insisted: "It must be written, and it must be written in Beirong script!"
Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes: "I don't know Beirong Wen!"
Ji Wenzhao smiled and said, "I will."
Zhang Yunzheng looked at him angrily: "Can you show off less?!"
Ji Wenzhao said to Zhang Yunzheng: "You are so ignorant! She is trying to take some of the crime off you! Let them choose their own death, and if there is something wrong with them, they don't have to worry about holding you accountable!"
Zhang Yunzheng shook his head at Shen Wen: "Can you... stop worrying about what will happen after death? You can't play tricks at the moment of life and death! What if Bei Rong takes it seriously?"
Shen Wen said stubbornly: "It has to be written! You don't believe it, but I believe it! At this time, the victory or defeat is just a fragment, and there is a world after death, so you can't lose! If they take it seriously, it will take several days to detour Not to mention, there is no food and supplies along the way. I believe they will send spies to cross the valley, and after trying it, they will know that there is no ambush here, so they will naturally cross the valley from here."
Just as Zhang Yunzheng was about to quarrel again, Ji Wenzhao smiled and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "She has Zhang Liang's plan, and I have a wall ladder! Brother Zhang, let me tell you, you find someone to come from the north. Painted on the outside of the valley are the words 'Bei Rong who enters will die'! There are more than ten or twenty places written on it, I don't believe they will still take it seriously!"
The fourth prince nodded: "Xiu Ming's plan is very clever! It can also slow down the speed of Bei Rong's advance."
Shen Wen asked Ji Wenzhao, "How do you know Beirong language?"
Ji Wenzhao said indifferently, "What's so difficult about that? There is a famous chess master who lives in the north. When I was young, I used to challenge... um... ask him to play chess. He took me deep into the grassland and said he would let me see it for a while. Kuang Yuan. I lived in Beirong for three months, and I learned it at that time."
Shen Wen knows that there are people who are gifted in learning languages and can easily master more than a dozen languages, so he can only envy them.
The top of the mountain was very cold, Shen Wen said to the others: "Go down slowly first, I want to tell brother Zhang a place." Then he motioned Zhang Yunzheng to follow her. Then she walked up a certain way, bypassed a big rock, pointed to a hole overgrown with weeds and said, "This is it."
Zhang Yunzheng walked over, brushed aside the weeds, looked inside and said, "Okay, I will remember."
Shen Wen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you tell your brother or your father my plan and ask them to send someone?"
Zhang Yunzheng asked puzzledly: "Why? Didn't you choose me to do this long ago?"
When Shen Wen asked their family to build a wine cellar, he was sure that Pingyuan Hou would come here to meet the enemy in the future. If there is any negligence, it will harm Ping Yuanhou. According to this theory, the people who came here to stop Beirong must be the people of Marquis Pingyuan, and Zhang Yunzheng is the most suitable one. His father and brother are behind him. If he doesn't do well, his father and brother will bear the brunt.
Shen Wen nodded, but immediately said: "But I regret it!"
Zhang Yunzheng looked deeply into Shen Wen's eyes: "Why?"
Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunzheng pitifully, almost crying: "I have been sensing that kind of power these days, saying that killing is against God's will... I'm afraid... I don't want you to be stained with blood!" Live in the purity of mind and body, never get involved in killing for a lifetime, live an innocent life without fear of death.
Zhang Yunzheng said: "That's why you told them. In this way, if they all agree, they will share the burden equally. Don't you put it all on me?"
Shen Wen nodded, with tears in his eyes: "You are a very good person, don't worry about this! Let your brother come?"
Zhang Yunzheng shook his head: "Not good."
Shen Wen used a coquettish and soft tone: "Even if I beg you, can't you?"
Zhang Yunzheng said earnestly: "Don't try to trick me into listening to you! If there is really retribution, you should remember that you owe me this! It won't be clear in several lifetimes! Do you understand?!"
Shen Wen wanted to say something more, but Zhang Yunzheng waved his hand and said, "Don't bargain, set ten lifetimes first! I think it's not enough in the future, I will add more!" Then he walked down the mountain and said, "I still have to help those two idiots. Yes, what if they get out of here?"
Shen Wen followed Zhang Yunzheng down the mountain, feeling both sweet and sour in his heart.
Going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult, Yan Shi walked for two years, now he has legs and can handle it, but Zhang Yunzheng has to go up and down, taking turns helping the Fourth Prince and Ji Wenzhao down the mountain. When they got to the place where they parked the carriage, it was already dark. They then walked for half an hour and arrived at the wine cellar.
This site is in a mountain depression, and a small village has now been built. Although this place is not located in a deep mountain, after all, after passing a mountain and a valley, it is more or less isolated from the world, and there are no refugees. When they reached the entrance of the village, there were a few torches there. Seeing them approaching, more than a dozen people came to meet them, all armed with sticks and swords.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yan jumped out of the car and said loudly, "We are here to look for the three officials of the Yan family, is Uncle Yan here?"
One of them stood up and saluted, "Young Master, wait a moment. I'll go and invite Mr. Yan later."
Zhang Yunzheng didn't come forward, he didn't know these people, so he didn't introduce himself.
After waiting for a while, a few people hurriedly came from the village with torches. When Yan saw them, he waved his hands and shouted: "Third Uncle! Third Uncle!"
Among them, Yan Sanguan was stunned when he saw Yan Shi from a distance, hurriedly walked over, and when he came to Yan Shi, he opened his mouth, Ji Wenzhao smiled kindly and said: "This is Uncle Yan, Third Uncle Presumably we know each other."
Yan stared at Ji Wenzhao, smiled and saluted Yan Sanguan: "I've met my third uncle."
Yan Sanguan stammered: "She... Uncle... Uncle?!"
Yan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'm here to see my third aunt, third uncle will take us there."
Yan Sanguan nodded hurriedly: "Please come in, please come in." He blamed Ji Wenzhao and said, "My father always said that you are a seasoned person, how could you let her mess around like this?! Does my second brother know?"
Ji Wenzhao sighed: "Third Uncle! It's hard to say!"
Yan Sanguan said to the people next to him: "This is... my relative, and also the relative of the owner of this wine cellar."
The two people next to him hesitated after hearing this, but one of them saw Zhang Yunzheng, was taken aback suddenly, and immediately signaled everyone to get out of the way.
Zhang Yunzheng looked at that person with a familiar look, and when he walked past him, that person smiled and said, "Master, I forgot, we used to be bandits together." Only then did Zhang Yunzheng remember that this person was the one who robbed the prince's grain truck with him. People, two people greeted each other, and the person said: "This road is not easy to travel. The people who sent letters to and from us were robbed by refugees several times, so we couldn't walk. We haven't sent anyone for half a year."
Zhang Yunzheng also nodded and said, "We were close too."
Everyone was talking and walking towards the village. Shen Wen looked around by the light of the fire. It was obviously the handwriting of the army: the streets were straight and clean, and the houses were neat.
Walking to the gate of a large courtyard in the middle of the village, Yan Sanguan led the Yan family through the gate, and the others unloaded the animals and took care of the carriage with the guards of the wine cellar.
Yan Sanguan asked people to boil water and bathe everyone.
Ji Wenzhao said in surprise, "Do you have water here?"
Yan Sanguan nodded and said, "Yes, there are mountain springs and wells. I heard that the river to the south of the mountain has dried up, but we still have water here."
Ji Wenzhao said with emotion: "The person who chose this address knows the secrets of Fengshui. This place should be where the longan is, and the water source is not dry all year round."
Yan Shi glanced at Shen Wen, Ji Wenzhao met Yan Shi's gaze, and asked Shen Wen: "Isn't that the place you chose?"
Shen Wen raised the corner of his mouth, Ji Wenzhao had lost in the strategy for a while, and now he was depressed again.
Mrs. Yan, accompanied by two or three women, came out with a lamp. The last time Mrs. Yan saw Yan Shi in Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Yan Shi was still a young daughter-in-law with delicate skin. However, during the past two months of running around and walking through areas without water, Yan's family became dark and thin. When Mrs. Yan saw it, she almost cried.
However, Mrs. Yan was very excited, pulled Mrs. Yan and jumped up and said, "I'm out! I'm out!"
Mrs. Yan nodded: "Okay, just come out! Are you going to the border?"
Yan Shi nodded: "Yes." Seeing Shen Wen looking at her, she hurriedly asked, "Third Aunt, how is the brewing going?"
Mrs. Yan San also saw Shen Wen. Although she was a little surprised, she had dealt with Shen Wen before, so she knew she was weird. It will come out quickly, and now there are more than five hundred jars, but they are all big jars." She sighed and said, "These few years have been disaster years, and grain is more expensive than gold elsewhere, but we use a lot of grain Brewing, hey, my heart hurts."
Yan quickly said: "Auntie, don't worry, these wines are of great use, and will save many people in the future."
Mrs. Yan nodded and said, "Since you said that, it will make me feel better."
Shen Wen also came forward to salute with a smile, said hello and said, "Thank you, Third Aunt, we can try it."
Mrs. Yan said: "The wine is so strong that your third uncle dare not drink too much, so don't drink it."
Yan glanced at Shen Wen, knowing what she was thinking about, and said with a smile: "We are treating Brother Ji to drink."
Third Mrs. Yan clicked Yan Shi: "You're plotting against your brother Ji again!"
After people finished bathing, it was already late at night, but no one had eaten, so Yan Sanguan and the third wife still asked people to set up a meal. It doesn't matter if they see men and women walking together. Yan San and his wife sat at the head, Yan Shi and Su Wanniang sat beside Shen Wen with Shen Wen, and the fourth prince sat beside Su Wanniang, secretly excited for a long time. Shi Helin, Duan Zeng, Zhang Yunzheng and Ji Wenzhao sat beside Yan Sanguan.
Everyone politely said a few words, Yan Sanguan asked someone to serve a small pot of wine, poured wine for everyone and said: "Hey, drink less, hey, drink less..."
Ji Wenzhao laughed: "Where is there such a persuasion?"
Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "I really can't drink too much. When we first started making wine, your third uncle had to taste the wine every day, but he was so drunk every day that he couldn't find his way home."
Shen Wen said worriedly: "It's better not to drink too much."
Yan Sanguan smiled: "Hey, good, don't drink too much."
Yan Sanguan poured the wine, toasted everyone, and said, "A little bit, a little bit, hehe..."
Yan Shi took away the wine glass in front of Shen Wen, and everyone else took a sip, and there was a sound of breathing on the table!
Ji Wenzhao said: "What a strong wine!"
Zhang Yunzheng also frowned tightly, unable to close his mouth for a long time.
The fourth prince's face was flushed red from choking, and there were tears in his eyes.
Duan Zeng closed his eyes and savored slowly.
Shi Helin said repeatedly: "You can't drink it! You can't drink it! It's poisonous! This wine is very poisonous!"
Duan Zeng opened his eyes and said: "This wine is strong, it can enter the five meridians and eight channels, and can be made into medicinal wine. If it is used to soak ginseng and deer antler..."
Shi Helin immediately clapped his hands and said: "Yes! Yes!" He said to Yan Sanguan humanely: "This official! Let's have a good talk. I am a doctor, and my apprentice is a miracle doctor. If we can use this Wine as medicine..." He immediately discussed with Yan Sanguan and Yan San's wife how to start a medicine and wine business.
Ji Wenzhao heard Shen Wen's plan on the cliff, and knew that in three years time, hundreds of thousands of people would be buried here, but he couldn't think of any other way. too much. After he was drunk, he slapped the table vigorously: "A mediocre lord misleads the country! A tyrant perishes the country! How can I, Ji Wenzhao, have no way to save the country?!..."
Zhang Yunzheng was afraid that Shen Wen would get drunk, so he didn't drink too much. In order to know the intensity, Shen Wen only took a small sip and felt slightly drunk. He didn't dare to drink anymore and only ate. Su Wanniang didn't touch the glass at all, Yan Shi thought she had a lot of alcohol, drank a few more glasses, and ended up getting drunk. She hugged Mrs. Yan and cried bitterly, saying intermittently: "I miss... miss my Jian Lang... he was killed... woo..." Mrs. Yan sighed and helped Yan back to the room.
The fourth prince looked at Su Wanniang drunkenly, with squinting eyes, and stammered: "You... so... beautiful... bright... bright... shaking back and forth..." Su Wanniang gritted her teeth and whispered, "You drunk!"
The fourth prince turned to Ji Wenzhao and said, "What did she call me?"
Ji Wenzhao was stunned, shook his head and said, "The best? The best talker?! I'm the best talker!"
The fourth prince nodded: "I know! You can also play chess!"
Ji Wenzhao said: "Let's go! Let's go play chess!" The two hooked their shoulders together and started to play chess. But before they went out, they all fell to the ground and were helped to go to bed by someone.
Duan Zeng wanted to experience the effects of this poisonous medicine, drank two cups, cried too, lay down on the table and called, "Dad... Mom... I'm in so much pain..."
Shi Helin didn't drink too much due to his enthusiasm for business talks, but at this time he also cried with Duan Zeng, hugging Duan Zeng's shoulder: "I am your father, I am your father, stop crying..."
The whole room was full of people crying and making noise, Shen Wen sat quietly in the shadow of the lamp, his slender eyebrows seemed to be frowning but not frowning, and his expression was either happy or sad.
Zhang Yunzheng said to Shen Wen: "You should drink more, they are all drunk now, and can't hear what you are going to say."
Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunzheng with a demented look, Zhang Yunzheng explained with disdain: "It's okay to have one more drunk pig."
Su Wanniang laughed and pulled Shen Wen: "Go, Miss, go to sleep."
Shen Wen nodded, and followed Su Wanniang obediently, Zhang Yunzheng looked at her back regretfully.
