royal robes

Chapter 923
Zong Xin actually ordered a midnight snack, which included several good dishes and a few jars of good wine, and asked the waiter to bring it to the room for them to eat.When eating out, the waiter cannot eat the same thing as the boss, as it will be easy for him to show his flaws.

The three of them were eating when they suddenly saw a familiar face.Although this person was dressed as a businessman, and he was accompanied by a few assistants, Zong Xin and his party immediately recognized him as Li Congji, Prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty.Now that the battle between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty is imminent, what does Li Congji want to go deep into the enemy's belly?Why is it Jizhou?Obviously, Li Congji must have an important mission, otherwise he would never leave the front line at this time.

"My lord, what did he come to Jizhou for? He didn't come to buy shochu, did he?" Bai Yu whispered, "Now the war between the two countries is imminent. The Great Zhou has a strong army, and the Southern Tang is not at a disadvantage. It's just that the Great Zhou has the spirit of shochu. Nantang must be envious of this, and they also want to buy enough shochu to go back to China to stock up."

Zong Xin sighed and said, "You only brought such a few people here? How many jars can you buy?"

"That's right~ The number of people brought is indeed a little less. They probably didn't come to buy wine." Bai Yu's idea was correct, but Li Congji couldn't go to Da Zhou territory to buy other people's secret weapons. Just enough to drink by myself.If you buy too much... you won't be able to leave the Great Zhou border at all.

Yaoyao said: "Then what is he doing here? Could it be that he is afraid of the Great Zhou's army and hopes that the Dugu Clan's travel promise will continue to be a minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty to cooperate with the outside and attack the Great Zhou."

"Just relying on the strength of the Dugu Clan? I'm afraid that they will be wiped out as soon as they rush out of Jizhou. Now the Dugu Clan has just started. Their financial and financial resources are too poor. Even if they are given soldiers, no one will lead troops to fight. Southern Tang Dynasty Not weak, there is no need for Li Jing to cooperate with the current Dugu clan."

Yaoyao and Baiyu nodded at the same time. In fact, they had the same thoughts. They really couldn't guess what Li Congji was doing in Jizhou at this terrible time.He must be the person who came to find the Dugu Clan, there is no doubt about it, the main reason is that his purpose is not clear, is it to prevent the Dugu Clan from selling wine to Chai Rong?Don't even think about it, this is absolutely impossible.Chai Rong can send an army at will to wipe out the Dugu Clan, and then send others to manage the distillery.

"Sanggong, you are still smart, please explain to us."

Zong Xin picked up the cup and drank it down, and then said with a long breath: "He is here to ask for technology. I told you a long time ago that knowledge is power. Li Congji wanted to know how to make shochu, so he came here Learn technology. If Li Congji learns the technology of brewing shochu, then the Southern Tang will not fall behind when facing the Great Zhou."

"Why does he rely on it? This technique was researched hard by Mr. Xianggong. Without Mr. Xianggong's personal guidance, he would never be able to learn it."

Zong Xin shook his head and said: "No, this technique is actually not difficult. If you imagine it out of thin air, it is really difficult to succeed, but if you dismantle a distiller and study it slowly, you can quickly learn this technique. It's just the Dugu valve. Some people did not do this, and they did not expect that I would die. Now that Li Congji is here, we should act even more quickly, so that Nantang cannot learn this technique."

Yaoyao and Baiyu finally understood why Zong Xin wasted so much time on a trip to Uighur. If he hadn't learned the technique of distilling shochu in Uighur, he might still go to the Persian Empire.Sure enough, knowledge is power, and a small amount of knowledge can change the general trend of the world. Zong Xin has already seen through all this, so he tried every means to bring this technology back to the Central Plains.

Based on the stock of shochu in Chai Rong's army at this time, even if all the stills of the Dugu Clan are destroyed now, Chai Rong still has enough shochu to last until the end of the war.What's more, Tianya also knows this kind of technology. He can help Chai Rong make a lot of stills, and Chai Rong can distill shochu by himself.

Zong Xin kept such a trick on purpose, that is to say, even if shochu comes out in the future, it will not prove that he is still alive, because Tian Ya has also learned this technique.Of course, Zong Xin doesn't want this kind of technology to be spread out for the time being, because it is obviously directly related to the war.Could it be that Chai Rong defeated the mighty Nantang just because of some shochu?
Although Yaoyao and Baiyu didn't quite believe it, they thought it made sense.When the strengths of the two sides are equal, Chai Rong has an excellent support, and of course he can defeat Li Jing who does not have this support.If Chai Rong is smart enough, choose winter or early spring to start the war. When it is cold and winter, if there is shochu to warm up, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will naturally not decrease, but in the Southern Tang Dynasty... the effect of rice wine is too bad too much.

Yaoyao and Baiyu have also tried it. A bowl of shochu can make the body hot, and it is very obvious from the inside out.Yellow rice wine can’t be warmed up after drinking half a pot, unless the rice wine is warmed up first, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of hot water to warm it up, so it’s better to drink hot water directly.

Alcohol can boost courage. For ordinary soldiers, the cruelty of war can put a lot of pressure on them, but after drinking a bowl of soju, this pressure will be greatly reduced, and it will reduce fatigue and increase strength. The paralyzing effect of alcohol can also Let the soldiers feel less pain when they are hit, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will naturally increase a lot.

In fact, Yaoyao and Baiyu didn't know how helpful this thing was for the war until they drank shochu. There is a difference in grade between rice wine and shochu.After drinking too much rice wine, the first feeling is dizziness, and the first feeling of shochu is the heat rushing out of the stomach.
Li Congji and his party found a table at random, ordered a few dishes and sat down to eat. It seemed that they were starving, and everyone ate, even Li Congji.At least from the present point of view, absolutely no one will link him with the identity of Southern Tang Prince.

The distance between Zong Xin and Li Congji is not far, they are almost close to each other, but not left and right, but obliquely.At this time, Zong Xin and his party did not dare to speak casually. If the distance was too close, if Li Congji was surrounded by expert guards, their words would be easily heard.Fortunately, Wang Ran didn't come, otherwise he might have been able to tell Zong Xin's true identity from the fluctuation of his true energy and even his smell, and he also knew that Zong Xin was not dead.

Zong Xin turned his head and looked at Li Congji with contempt, because Zong Xin's movement was very big, so Li Congji also felt Zong Xin's movement and saw the disgust on his face.

"Hmph~~!"

After Zong Xin snorted, he turned his head and continued drinking.Li Congji was so angry that he almost flew into a rage, but this time he had an important task, and it was better to have one more thing than one less thing.His task this time is the collection of war materials if it is lighter, and it is directly related to the life and death of Nantang if it is more serious, so Li Congji endured it. Although he was only despised by an unknown small businessman, as long as he endured Nothing after that.

Zong Xin was very satisfied, because Li Congji didn't recognize him, which also proved that Yaoyao's disguise skills are still excellent.In fact, Zong Xin knew about this for a long time. The first time she saw Yaoyao, she used the disguise technique to assassinate Liu Chengyou, but was accidentally destroyed by Zong Xin, so Zong Xin always knew that Yaoyao's disguise technique was very good. Just now Also just wanted to test it out.

If even Li Congji couldn't recognize himself, it is estimated that few people in the Dugu Clan could see it, but Dugu Xingyue might still recognize his own eyes.This is a problem, no matter how the eyebrows and hair change, a person's eyes will not change.

Suddenly, Zong Xin thought of another method. As long as he uses this method, not to mention Dugu Xingyue, even the Yaoyao standing face to face may not be able to recognize his identity. As long as the eyebrows are well drawn, the eyes can be used Red Emperor and White Emperor.Although Zong Xin has never used this ability in front of others, as long as no one recognizes him, then there is no problem.

After a simple meal, Zong said: "Dude~!"

"Come on, what else does this master want?"

"Get me a roast chicken, half a catty of sauced beef, half a catty of roast lamb, and two jars of good wine to the room."

The guy was surprised and said, "Master has a really good appetite."

"What to eat, I just drank a few glasses of wine, and supper is the main meal. I am too tired today and want to rest early. I drink too much so I can sleep." Zong Xin's tone was like a nouveau riche, and Li Congji and his party I really want to give him two knives.

"That's great~! I'll send you into the house later."

"Reward money." Zong Xin waved his hand, and Yaoyao immediately took out a small piece of silver from his bosom, never less than two or three coins. In the eyes of rich people, these are small change, but for a waiter , This may be a month's wages.

"Thank you uncle."

Zong Xin pursed his lips and walked forward with arrogant horoscopes. At this time, Zong Xin was sticking to his beard and wearing a human skin mask that was almost glued on. The skin looked very rough. Recognizing it, I just feel that this kind of nouveau riche with a little money is too arrogant.

After the three of Zong Xin entered the house, Li Congji and his party also ate and drank enough, and immediately set off to leave after paying the money. Zong Xin and the three secretly watched, and they were heading in the direction of the Dugu clan.

Zong Dao said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's getting dark, so we'll do it tonight. Are you drinking and waiting here, or are you going with me, my husband? But even if you go, you can't do anything, just watch from a distance .”

Yaoyao said: "I want to go, I want to know what Li Congji and the Dugu clan are talking about."

Bai Yu also nodded. Although they believed in their husbands, they also hoped that Zong Xin could make a mistake once.Therefore, both of Zong Xin's guesses were very interesting. It would be great to witness Zong Xin's mistake in person.

Zong said: "Okay, let's do it immediately after Xiaoer brings the snack over. Yaoyao, start to make up."

Yaoyao immediately took out her luggage to draw Zong Xin's eyebrows, and at the same time put a wig that looked very much like Yelvzhen on him.At the same time, Bai Yu changed Zong Xin's clothes into a tight night suit.It doesn't take much time to draw eyebrows, it will be ready soon.
