Little Zhuangtou and the Great General

047

"The passage here was dug on purpose. There are three entrances in total. The gap above the head is one of them. You need to use a soft ladder to get in and out." Wu Liu said while dressing Shen Miao. The two had already come out of the hot spring. He made a clean piece of ground, spread Shen Miao's cloak on the ground, put Shen Miao on it, and wiped it with a sweat towel.

While Shen Miao was enjoying it, she followed Wu Liu's words and looked at the gap. The walls of the gap were smooth, and they were still soaked by the heat of the hot spring, with many water droplets hanging on them. Also as tall as three adults.

Wu Liu explained: "The soft ladder is buried in the mud outside. There is a buried iron chain in the corner. Just pull it down. After climbing out, take back the soft ladder and keep it buried. It can be used next time."

Shen Miao nodded, Wu Liu helped Shen Miao up, wiped his back for him, and continued: "The iron chain is buried in the gravel, and a lot of moss has accumulated over there, it's too dirty, I won't take you there to see it, remember Just do it."

Gravel and moss, Shen Miao nodded, remembering the main points.

Wu Liu put on underwear for Shen Miao, and when he was about to tie it up, he couldn't help but kissed again.

Shen Miao's lingering rhyme was already gone, but her heart moved again, and she managed to hold back a smile and cursed: "This meeting will beg for everything, how will you beg tonight?"

"Still keeping it for the evening?" Wu Liu smirked, "Understood, I'll just bear it."

As soon as Shen Miao heard it, she knew that she was being trapped again, and she glared at Wu Liu: "It's not serious."

"I can't help it. I can't be serious in front of you." Wu Liu had a rascal face on his face, but he didn't stop his hands, and quickly put on the clothes for Shen Miao.Although it is near the hot spring, it is a snowy day after all, and the cold wind is blowing through the gaps, and it is most likely to catch cold under the cold and hot conditions.

After both of them were dressed, Wu Liu carried Shen Miao on his back and walked out: "The other two entrances, one end is the place you came in just now, between the stream and rocks, and the other one is along this road." Wu Liu Indicating another fork in the road just before entering.

The forked road was very narrow, and only one person could go in and out. Wu Liu had to bend his legs while carrying Shen Miao on his back. Shen Miao hurriedly said, "I'm not tired, I'll walk by myself."

"Really?" Wu Liu asked intentionally.

Shen Miao didn't understand Wu Liu's meaning at first, and nodded frankly: "It's no problem, the hot spring is very comfortable, whether it's to relieve fatigue, or..." Shen Miao paused, then continued with shame, "It's much more comfortable to go in. , better than outside."

"Since you are like a fish in water, then come every day from now on?" Wu Liu immediately put down Shen Miao's arms and said in a low voice.

Like a fish in water... Shen Miao understood Wu Liu's meaning in seconds, and could no longer look directly at the word.

Fortunately, Wu Liu did not continue to flirt, and led Shen Miao to walk along the corridor. It took about two quarters of an hour to reach the end. At the end was a space made of green bricks. Wu Liu carefully demonstrated the way to open it: "This Did you see the brick? Knock it down, the sound is more hollow than usual, pull it out."

Shen Miao complied, there was a brass hand breaker inside, and Wu Liu signaled him to break down.

Shen Miao broke it hard, and the blue bricks on the top began to move. When it was completely broken to the bottom, there was a hole on the top of the head for one person to enter and exit. The top was obviously colder than the passage, and the cold air was pouring in.

Wu Liu went up first, then bent down to help Shen Miao up.

Above are rows of neatly arranged bookshelves, and the situation looks quite familiar. Wu Liu smiled, and led Shen Miao to the window lightly, carefully opened the window card, revealing a slit, and signaled Shen Miao to look out. .

Shen Miao was very surprised when she saw it, this, this turned out to be the courtyard of the house in Biezhuang, and the place where the two of them were located was the Book Collection Pavilion on the side of the study.You can also clearly hear the conversation between Doer and Xiaohua.

"Why haven't the young master and son come back yet?" Xiaohua said worriedly while sweeping the snow, "The snow is getting bigger and bigger."

"Don't worry, there is a young master with young master, no matter how heavy the snow is." Do'er said carelessly.

Xiaohua sighed: "It's already noon, no matter what, I should come back for dinner."

"That's right, I'll go out and have a look." Duo'er was about to leave, Xiao Hua hurriedly called her: "Add some clothes before leaving, don't get cold."

"Don't worry, I don't wear much clothes in previous years, so I won't be cold." After saying that, he ran away.

Hearing this, Shen Miao and Wu Liu looked at each other, Wu Liu closed the window and said in a low voice, "Just remember this, we won't go out from here, we will turn back the way we came."

Shen Miao nodded, and Wu Liu taught him the method to open the organ from the Library Pavilion.The two turned back the same way and left the corridor from the other side of the stream stone. They did not rush back, but flashed into the bamboo forest, found the hoe that the farmer had buried in a corner of the bamboo garden for convenience, and began to dig winter bamboo shoots.

After a while, the two dug up five or six of them, and walked down the mountain wearing sweat towels.

Duo'er was leading Wu Liu's horse across the ridge of the field. Wu Liu hurriedly called, and the horse heard Duo'er and led Duo'er to come.As soon as Duo'er came to the two of them, he said anxiously: "Master, young master, where did you go in the snowy day? I thought, I thought..."

Duo'er didn't say anything, Shen Miao quickly apologized, and showed Duo'er the winter bamboo shoots in her arms: "Go up the mountain to look for bamboo shoots, if you look for them, you will be delayed."

"Yeah, at the beginning, I didn't know how to do it. I didn't find it, but after I found it, it got out of hand." Wu Liu also explained.

Duoer also knew about winter bamboo shoots, and without many years of experience in finding them, it was really hard to find for a while, so he trusted the two and said with a smile: "Then hurry back, it's time for lunch."

The two nodded, and Wu Liu gave Shen Miao the horse to ride. Shen Miao was not polite. Although the hot spring was very comfortable, it also consumed a lot of physical strength, and he was a little tired.Wu Liu led the horse and walked in front, Doer followed behind holding the winter bamboo shoots, and said with a smile: "Winter bamboo shoots can make a lot of delicious food, what do you want to eat, young master? I'll talk to Aunt Zhang later."

"Okay." When Shen Miao heard it, greedy worms rushed up. He likes the chewiness of winter bamboo shoots the most. Simple vegetables are mixed with winter bamboo shoots, and the taste will be improved. He said: "Winter bamboo shoots, shredded pork, and dried fragrant Stir-fry with oil, then serve with any vegetables, such as choy sum, yellow leeks, celery, etc.; if you have pickled vegetables, have a bowl of pickled vegetable soup with winter bamboo shoots, and clear soup is enough; if you have soy sauce, cut pork belly into strips and winter bamboo shoots Shredded, directly on the stove to steam."

"Yeah!" Duo'er swallowed heavily when she heard that, she also likes many methods, but the family has been poor in recent years, and she hasn't been fired for a long time.

Wu Liu took Shen Miao back to the inner house. Xiao Hua asked the steward early in the morning to ask for a larger charcoal basin and put it in it. It was very hot when entering the house. Shen Miao was very happy and did not forget to tell Xiao Hua: "The room for the two of you Let’s fight here too, it’s going to be cold in the next few days.”

Xiao Hua said with a smile: "The steward just said, replace the small one with us, don't worry about Tan, just be careful not to have any accidents."

Shen Miao nodded hurriedly, and also warned: "When you set up the charcoal basin, don't close the door firmly."

Xiaohua agreed, leaving Wu and Shen to eat, and went to work outside by herself. The snow was heavy, and the path that was just swept was piled up again, so she had to sweep quickly to make it easier to get in and out.

After Xiaohua left, Wu Liu explained to Shen Miao a little bit about the tunnel: "My brothers and I, except Lao Qi, did some things that didn't make a name for ourselves in the early years. This secret tunnel is It was specially opened to prevent accidents."

Shen Miao nodded. He was wondering just now that there are farmers everywhere in this decent villa, and there are no bandits in the mountains, so there are some secret passages.

"As for the specifics, it was hard to say before, but it's okay to talk about it now." Wu Liu continued, "Didn't I tell you about Dong Chang's disorderly government and the flood of private salt?"

Shen Miao nodded, there is such a thing, the salt tax was abolished, and the people hoarded salt one after another for profit. As a result, everyone has salt, but it is worthless.

"The common people have no way to sell, but we have. In addition, the army's salary is always short during the war, so we started to sell salt smuggled." Wu Liu said.

Now Shen Miao understood that one reason why the salt tax was abolished was to put an end to private salt, because after the abolition of salt tax, everyone could afford salt, and naturally there would be no profit for private salt.So it is obvious that Wu Liu and the others are fighting against those in power in smuggling salt, but looking at it from another perspective, the people went bankrupt in order to hoard salt. A little help.Therefore, the nature of this matter is not easy to determine. Wu Liuken frankly believed him, and Shen Miao said: "I have heard it and forgot."

"Don't be too busy talking about forgetting, there is one more thing you need to know about Huangjian'ao Village."

Shen Miao put her heart into it when she heard it, although Wu Liu believed that he was not Liu Nianlang, but others did not, especially Yang Xingfeng, who at first kept saying that he knew something, but he didn't know anything at all.

"Huangjian'aozhuang is also one of the roads where we smuggle salt. In addition to smuggling salt, we also sell Tianhuangshi in the mine road. The first choice was because the collapsed mine road can still be used, and the other is Dong Chang deliberately made things difficult. Yang Xingfeng made Zhuangzi a place that everyone can get away from. Unexpectedly, a traitor among us revealed the matter to Dong Chang, but the person knew little about it, and what was revealed was also ambiguous. Dong Chang That man was so careful, Wen Xin didn't investigate by himself, but put pressure on Yang Xingfeng. However, Yang Xingfeng didn't turn the corner. He only thought that Dong Chang made things more difficult. Later, by a coincidence, Liu Nianlang found out all this and found out. I ran out to inform in the gap. The secret line I set up in Liu Nianlang's mansion learned of this and immediately notified him. Mass burial mound. The people in the Huangjianaozhuang mine were quickly evacuated, and the place was disguised as Dong Chang's traces, and the angry Yang Xingfeng came to investigate, so that the dog would bite the dog."

After Shen Miao listened, she was awakened, but she was afraid. It turned out that there was such a story in Huangjian'ao Village, and he happened to complete Wu Liu's arrangement by mistake.But he told Wu Liu from the very beginning that he picked up the comatose Yang Xingfeng, and Wu Liu said that he threw him in a mass grave, so the most likely place where he picked up someone was also a mass grave, so how could he explain himself? Going to the mass grave for no reason?

"The dark line I set up at Liu Nianlang's mansion reported back later. Liu Nianlang didn't return to the mansion at all that day, and Liu Sisi also ran out in a daze after receiving the letter. After that, the mansion never saw these two people again. The answer is that this place is simple, and Dong Chang changed it." Wu Liu continued, staring at Shen Miao.

Shen Miao choked for breath, he didn't know how to explain to Wu Liu that he was actually Liu Nianlang with a different soul.Even though Wu Liu had said it before, he was him, not Liu Nianlang.

Wu Liu saw Shen Miao's reaction in his eyes, he had some related speculations before, and now it has been confirmed.As far as he is concerned, apart from the calmness of knowing the truth, there is no other incidental emotion. To him, even if Shen Miao is Liu Nianlang, it is another Liu Nianlang, a Liu Nianlang that he likes very much.Seeing that Shen Miao's face changed because of this, she hurriedly hugged him into her arms, and said with a smile: "I like you, I just like you, not for any purpose, and don't care about anything."

Shen Miao was dazed when she heard the words, and after regaining her senses, she hugged Wu Liu tightly. It was the first time he hugged a person so hard. He never thought that there would be such a person who suddenly came to this ancient time. He didn't care about anything and believed so He, like him.

Wu Liu hugged Shen Miao back, smiled contentedly, and then began to joke: "If you keep strangling me like this, I will be out of breath."

Shen Miao hurriedly let go and looked at Wu Liu anxiously, who knew that Wu Liu picked him up fiercely and used his body skills to make a gorgeous circle around the room.Shen Miao had no choice but to support Wu Liu's shoulders, only one thought remained in the dizzy world: Qinggong is good, so you don't need to play like this.

Wu Liu turned around and wanted to go to bed again, Shen Miao hurriedly begged for mercy: "I haven't eaten yet, I'm still hungry."

"Oh yes, only when you are full and warm can you continue." Wu Liu smirked and asked Shen Miao to sit on his lap, "Come on! I'll feed you."

"Hey..." Shen Miao protested.

Wu Liu compromised: "Then you feed me."

Shen Miaomo, is there a difference?

Wu Liu smiled rascally.

In short, it is the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month outside the house, with a world of ice and snow; inside the house is full of spring, and the two hearts agree with each other.

In the midwinter of this year, when the new year was approaching, another good news came. The Tang royal family felt the rebellion of the Eight Towns Army in Pingzhe West Road, and set up the Weisheng Army in Yuezhou, and the Wusheng Army in Hangzhou. Dong Chang was ordered to lead the Weisheng Army, Wu Shengjun was also the envoy of the Weisheng Army, the king of Longxi County, and Qian Liu was the training envoy of the Wusheng Army.

In order to thank God, Dong Chang played, and on the occasion of the Qingming Festival, Qian Liu will personally dispose of the Zhenhai rebel general Xue Lang, and sacrifice Zhou Bao, the military governor of the Zhenhai.

Qian Liu then ordered his sons and heirs to return to the mansion in Qingming.
