Chapter 193
"It's really possible. We don't have a deep relationship with people from the rivers and lakes. On the contrary, it's the topography of Qingshi Town. Maybe spies from foreign races have mixed in..."

The other confidantes responded to Lieutenant General Li's statement because they found nothing.

Liao Yu's fingertips landed on the table and tapped lightly. It's not impossible for foreigners, after all, there is such a relationship in it.If you get the account book, it's equivalent to pinching your own weakness. The ambition is really not small...

"We can consider tracing along this line. Lieutenant General Li's plan is feasible, but the search should not be relaxed!"

With Liao Yu's order, a registration office was set up around Qingshi Town the next day, and the disheveled Wen Chengyun was unsurprisingly recruited as a strong man.

However, as soon as he joined the army, he was directly sent to the back kitchen to be a fire leader. Naturally, it is impossible to leave such a search to ordinary people. The purpose of recruiting strong men is to fight and maintain the normal operation of some trivial matters in the military camp.

On the first day at the barracks, Wen Chengyun took the opportunity of delivering meals to wander around. Apart from the big accounts of Liao Yu and Lieutenant General Li, he also wrote down the big accounts of other confidants.

After nightfall, the soldiers who were sent out to search for the assassin came back one after another, and most of them sat around the pot and waited for dinner.

The number of firefighters is not fixed, and only high-ranking generals are usually qualified to let others cook for themselves.Ordinary soldiers are self-sufficient with more than a dozen people around a pot, but it is only because of the special situation at the moment that they can enjoy this kind of treatment.

The original batch was used to cook for the lieutenants and generals, while ordinary soldiers became guinea pigs.

"I'm new here, what do you want for dinner? After searching all day, you're going to be exhausted. Are you good at crafting? If not, I'll do it myself..."

"Brothers have worked hard, add dinner tonight, just try my handicraft."

Wen Chengyun yelled unhurriedly, with a natural tone.In order to match the fake identity, he even brought a little southern accent from Qingshi Town, which completely lacked the aura of a nobleman before.

He has already cooked vegetable porridge and is baking sesame seed cakes, which are easy to make and delicious.As long as the back kitchen of the military camp has water and dry firewood to bake, it will be easy for the soldiers to show their hands.

And this point is mainly inspired by Cheng Weiyao's Roujiamo, mainly because the soldiers' food is really bitter.

Although vegetable porridge is said to be made by adding grains, vegetables, and meat, in fact, there are fewer vegetables and more soup. If things go on like this, the combat effectiveness of the army must be greatly reduced!
Some baked biscuits were put aside, and the hungry soldiers had already started to take them by themselves.I am used to eating vegetable porridge and suddenly have a bite of something else, that is really satisfying.

"Oh, yes, I picked up the fish that slipped through the net, look at this professional, did you sell food at home before?"

"Brother has good eyesight! It is true that I set up a small stall before. My name is Tian Daren, what do you call my brother..."

Wen Chengyun's pseudonym Tian Daren, his generous and honest personality and unexpected craftsmanship made Wen Chengyun naturally blend into this group at once.

The soldiers sat cross-legged in a circle, drinking porridge and eating cakes, while discussing the upcoming imperial military pay and food.

"Brothers, you have heard that all the strong men of his grandma were arrested in this expansion of recruitment. When will the court give some practical advice, arresting people every day to fill the army, it will be a big deal!"

"You can pull it down. The disadvantage is that we don't fight wars. It's good to have a mouthful of food for us. How can we expect to eat well? Pay the army? What are you doing for a long time?"

As soon as this topic was brought up, Wen Chengyun immediately pricked up his ears. This is why he came to the barracks.

According to the records of the Imperial Household Department, the military rations and salaries allocated to border soldiers are normally distributed every year, but Anzi who visited said that the local people complained a lot and were unwilling to join the army.

It's not that the imperial court has never sent a censor to come thousands of miles away to check, but the army's account books show that the military pay and rations are distributed according to the head.

"When registering, the person told me that we will pay the military salary immediately, so I resolutely signed it. Could it be that I was fooled?"

Wen Chengyun sat next to the cauldron, nibbling some sesame seed cakes, and blended into this topic without any hesitation.He had just joined the army, and he was like a rookie in front of veterans.

The other veterans who heard this grinned, and looked at Wen Chengyun with some pity: "Do you believe this nonsense? Sure enough, young people are easy to fool, just like I was at that time. Once you enter the barracks, don't even think about going out. If you are lucky, you will die if you don’t start a war. If you are not lucky, hehe..."

Wen Chengyun's eyebrows furrowed in an instant, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.

Although I already knew in my heart that Liao Yu and his group must have filled the imperial court's annual military pay and rations, otherwise there would be no such thing as Lieutenant General Li's account book.But so many soldiers in the barracks were coaxed and tricked into joining the army, Wen Chengyun was really a little angry.

"Okay, why are you scaring him? A fire-headed army doesn't go into battle to kill the enemy. There is no problem with my life, but it's a pity that the young man has become an old bachelor..."

"Everyone, don't be so depressed, what if this year is an exception! You have to give yourself something to look forward to, although the military rations and military salaries may not be paid. But our brother Xiaotian is here, at least the food is better than before, isn't it..."

Although the soldiers complained, they had entered the tiger's den, and no one dared to say "no" under the tiger's eyelids.When they came, they were all brothers, and they all comforted "Tian Daren" in a few words.

Wen Chengyun smiled innocently, but his lowered eyes were a little moved.The soldiers on the border are still optimistic. Even though they were bullied like this, they never thought of rebelling against the whole country. It's a pity that they didn't meet a good leader...

In addition to cooking, Huotoujun's work also had to clean up the aftermath. The cleaning of pots and pans fell on Wen Chengyun, especially the former Huotoujun. When he saw a newcomer, he coincidentally became the shopkeeper.

After a few days, there was no need to pretend, and Wen Chengyun's hands became rough again. Instead of complaining, he enjoyed it.

Because just by collecting bowls everywhere, I can get a lot of news about Liao Yu and others without arousing the suspicion of others.

Under the moonlight, while he was washing the dishes and sorting out the clues he had collected these days, a gray pigeon flew from afar.

Wen Chengyun's eyes froze slightly, is it necessary to shoot them down?

Most of the soldiers have rested, and there is no one around. Now is a good time to do it...
