Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 793 Good News

In the early morning, as soon as the city gate of Shizhou was opened, a large flock of sheep came over mightily.A man in front ran quickly to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and said with a smile on his face, "Brother, come to Shizhou to sell sheep under Lei Can."

The soldier sized up the man and asked, "Where did he come from?"

The man said: "The young one is from Baicao village. I heard that mutton is expensive here in Shizhou, so I come here to sell sheep."

The soldier looked at the sheep and said, "Do you have proof? You can't gather so many sheep on a whim."

The man looked a little embarrassed, and said: "To be honest, there are more than 100 people in a small family here, and there are a few neighbors who have more than 200 people. We are all from the countryside, and our business is about trustworthiness. What proof?"

The soldier looked behind and saw that the two sheep herders were both middle-aged and presumably the son of the sheep seller.Seeing that there is nothing suspicious, let him enter the city.

After Jiang Min's army entered Shizhou, he quickly ate up all the sheep in Shizhou, and the price went up.People from the nearby Suide Army and Jinning Army came to sell sheep, and the soldiers were no strangers to it.There were only three people delivering the sheep, so nothing would happen, so I didn't bother to check.

After entering the city, Lei Can drove the sheep to the sheep market, raised them first, and prepared to see the market.

After entering the inn to clean up, Lei Can said to his two sons: "The mutton noodles here in Shizhou are very famous recently, and people often heard about them when we were in Suide. Now that we are here, let's go eat noodles and try it out. .”

He took his two sons out of the inn and walked to the Hongyun noodle restaurant that he had heard about before.

The noodle restaurant is a government property, and now the chefs in the army take turns to be the chefs in the restaurant.This is a common practice in Wang Xiaohun's army, and there is already a fixed process.Borrowing military skills to promote local development, the income of chefs is also higher.

Entering the store, the first thing that catches the eye is a showcase for cold dishes.There is a screen window outside, and there are prepared cold dishes inside, and diners can order and eat right away.Of course, most people order a dish, and the chef cooks it newly.

Lei Can bent down to look at the cold dishes inside, amazed.In this season, the dishes cannot be rich.It is nothing more than bean sprouts, cold lotus root, pickled radish, pickled sugar garlic and the like.But in this small northwest town, these things are serious.

Unable to bear it, Lei Can ordered mixed lotus root slices and pickled radish, and sat down with his son.

After a while, the boy came over, and Lei Can said: "Just three bowls of your most famous mutton noodles! Add more red onions, I like the taste the most!"

The servant agreed and asked, "Do you want some wine, sir?"

Lei Can said: "Take a couple of your baijiu! I heard that the liquor is the strongest, so you can't drink too much."

The boy agreed and turned around.After a while, two liang of wine came, and there was a small wine bowl.

Lei Can looked at the small wine bowl, it could hold about one or two, it was really different from other places.Seeing that the wine was being boiled on the table next to him, he asked the boy to take the wine set.

The mutton noodles are really different.On top is a thick layer of lamb, covered with coriander and shallots.The soup below is very mellow and mouth-watering just by looking at it.Especially the red onion sprinkled on top, although spicy, it is not greasy.

While beckoning his son to eat noodles quickly, Lei Can glanced around from the corner of his eyes.Seeing that they are all diners, and no one cares about themselves.

After the meal, Lei Can drank two taels of white wine, feeling a little tipsy.I took my son back to the inn and played for a while.Seeing nothing unusual around him, he straightened his clothes and went out the door.Go to the nearby tea shed to drink a pot of tea, look around, and there is no suspicious person waiting.Then he stood up and took a deep breath.

When I arrived at Shizhou Yamen, I looked at the guards standing at the door, thought for a long time, and went around to the back Yamen again.

After waiting for a long time, I saw a guard coming out and hurried forward.He cupped his hands and said, "Lei Can, who is in the Suide Army, has been ordered by the general to come to see Wang Xuanfu. Please introduce him. I have important military information, so don't let other people know about it."

The guard sized Lei Can up and down, thought for a while and said, "Just wait here."

After finishing speaking, he turned and entered the state office.

Lei Can stood there, restless left and right, walking up and down irritably.I don't know who this guard is, what his name is, and whether he can see Wang Xiaolie.If he doesn't come out again, isn't he waiting here?

When Lei Can was feeling restless, Cui Qing and the guard came out from the state government office.The guard pointed Lei Can to Cui Qing and whispered something.

Cui Qing's eyes lit up, and he walked forward quickly, and said, "My servant, Cui Qing, is the leader of Wang Xuanfu's personal guard. The strong man said it was from the Suide army, is it true?"

Lei Can gave Cui Qing a cold look, and nodded to him.

Cui Qing said: "You follow me."

After speaking, he led Lei Can into the state office.After walking a few steps through the garden, I came to a house.Said: "This is my government office, don't be surprised. Since you are from the Suide army, there must be something important. Can you tell me?"

Lei Can's face was very tense, and he slowly shook his head.

Cui Qing stared at Lei Can's face closely, saw him shaking his head, and said: "Understood, I understand. Just wait for a while, Xuanfu will have time later."

After speaking, he called two guards and ordered them to take care of Lei Can.He accused himself of offending, turned around and left the room.

Lei Can understood that the two guards were watching over him.Cui Qing should have gone to inform Wang Xiaolie, but he didn't know whether Wang Xiaolie would see him or not.

After half an hour, Cui Qing came back again.Said to Lei Can: "Xuanfu just has time now. Please!"

In the lesser half an hour, Cui Qing went out to find out exactly how Lei Can entered the city, where he lived, and what he was doing.After confirming that there is no threat to Wang Xiaolie, let him go to see Wang Xiaolie.How could it be possible for someone to tell me where he came from, and then he would be able to meet a few Xuan Fu envoys?
Not far from the room, to a living room.Cui Qing stood in front of the door and said: "Xuan Fu is inside, you can just go in."

Lei Can raised his leg to enter, but retracted his leg again, and said to Cui Qing, "How do I know that the one inside is Wang Xuanfu?"

Cui Qing smiled and said, "What's the use of me finding a fake one? A strong man is so cautious, it must be related to a major military situation. It's always better if fewer people know about it."

Lei Can nodded, gritted his teeth and entered the living room.

Wang Xiaolie was sitting in the living room drinking tea.Seeing Lei Can, he raised his head and asked, "Are you from the Suide army?"

Lei Can cupped his hands and said: "Lei Can, the Suide Army, is a close friend of Li Shifu in the yamen. He was ordered by the yamen to report important military information. On the opposite side is Wang Xuanfu?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Exactly!"

Lei Can stared at Wang Xiaolie for a while, and said, "Is it still hidden here? Will our words be heard?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "This is the living room where I meet guests. It is impossible for someone to come without calling."

Lei Can said: "See Xuan Fu! Although my family has no choice but to lower the gold, they still have their homeland in their hearts. Over the years, I have communicated with Zhang Xianggong many times, but I have never received a response. I don't know what Xuan Fu thinks?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Of course it is good to have the homeland in your heart. If you can do it anyway, then you are more welcome."

Lei Can felt a little emotional: "Xuanfu thinks that way, that's the best. To be honest, the Shaanxi Golden Chieftain Saliha will come to the Suide Army in a few days, and the Yamen thinks that he will rob him and contribute to the court. This matter is important. , please cooperate with Xuan Fu."

Wang Xiaolie was taken aback when he heard this: "Sa Li will come to the Suide Army? Why did he come?"

Lei Can said: "Xuanfu has arrived in Shizhou, and Sa Lihe is the commander of Shaanxi, how can he ignore it?"
