Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1744 Day Two

  In Chang’an, there is no problem that can’t be solved by one meal of meat buns. If there is, it will be two meals.

  Although it is sometimes exaggerated, it also represents the popularity of meat in Guanzhong and the promotion of pasta. More wheat is ground into flour. Although this flour is still a bit rough for future generations, it is already very good now...

   After Hussar General Fei Qian promoted the breeding of pork pigs, water-powered flour milling was added, and there were also various pasta eating methods that Fei Qian refurbished as later generations. The first to try and carry forward was Beiguanzhong.

  Meat buns are unremarkable at first, but they are unexpectedly popular and suitable for both refined and popular food.

  Street stalls can do it, restaurants and teahouses can also do it. Expensive, there are expensive ways, cheap, there are cheap ways.

  When Simpi passed the third bun shop, he happened to meet the owner of the bun shop who had just opened the steamer. The thick smell of meat mixed with the fragrance of wheat, followed by a burst of white mist. Simpi couldn't help sniffing, um, when he turned his head and saw in the bullock cart, his son and daughter had already been lying beside the cart, and two pairs of four eyeballs with shiny wafers almost stuck to the bun shop. Up…

   "Stop the car..." Simpi took out some cash from his body and handed it to the guard, "Go buy some food..."

The little girl's eyes lit up immediately, she cupped her hands sweetly, pretending to be an adult, and said to Simpi, "Thank you, Father~" Immediately, she saw that the younger brother was still staring at the steamed stuffed bun shop, Immediately, his eyebrows raised up, and he slapped his younger brother on the back of the head.

   "Ouch!" The little boy covered the back of his head, turned to look at his sister, his little face wrinkled together.

"What the hell! What about the Book of Poems I just memorized yesterday? Have you forgotten?" The little girl spoke quickly and crisply, crackling in one piece, "How did I teach you? 'Throw me a papaya and repay it with Qiongju', now Father bought food for us, shouldn't you also 'repay it with Qiongju'?"

  The little boy said "Oh", then turned his head to look at his father Simpi, then looked at the bun shop beside him, frowned and said, "Sister said this is a papaya? It doesn't look like it?"

   "Papaya, what papaya? Did I say this is papaya?"

   "You just mentioned papaya!"

   "The papaya I'm talking about is the papaya in the Book of Songs, not this papaya!"

   "Look, you still say this is papaya!"

  Xin Pi couldn't help but smile when he heard the noise in the car, and didn't stop it, but let the siblings argue with each other.

  Traveling long distances for days was a very hard work in the Han Dynasty, and what disturbed Xin Pi more than the hardships of the journey was the worry in his heart.

  The guard came over with a big reed bag, which was full of grayish-yellow buns.

The buns in the Han Dynasty were not the snow-white color of the later generations, because the flour made from wheat, if no bleaching agent was added, the color would be a little yellowish, and if some magazines were added, it would turn gray and black. It is more similar to the beautiful ones in later generations, that is, only a few large restaurants have them.

   The appearance is not very good, but the taste is not bad.

Bite open, pork oil dregs are mixed in the dried tofu. Although it is not a pure meat bun, the dried tofu itself is called vegetarian meat. It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity after the lard is mixed in, and it is just out of the cage. , steaming hot to add a three-point taste.

  The two brothers and sisters had long forgotten the previous dispute. One was holding a bun, gnawing on it, and still staring at the next one.

   "My lord..." the guard said in a low voice, "I just asked, from this street to the west, and then to the north, you can see the General's Mansion... Is it past now?"

  Xin Pi pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "Find a place to stay first... The General's Mansion... Don't be in a hurry..."

  Although it is said that Simpi’s elder brother asked him to come to Chang’an, Simpi also needs to observe to see if Hussar General Fei Qian is really as rumored, worthy of his own bet...

  Back then, Simpi himself had seen General Hussars, but at that time...

   And now...

   Well, it's really hard to describe.

   While Simpi was eating steamed buns with his children and guards, Shi Huan and Li Tong passed by Simpi's car. Shi Huan took a slight glance at Simpi and his party, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, during this period of time, there were a lot of gentry children coming from all over the country. It was very common for Simpi to bring his family and four or five guards.

  Xin Pi seemed to have noticed something, turned his head to look, only saw the busy flow of people on the side, could not help but compare it with Yecheng in his heart, was stunned for a moment, and sighed slightly...

  Xin Pi asked the guards to lead the car and continued to move forward, looking for a temporary foothold, but he felt a little more emotional in his heart. Could it be that he made a mistake at the beginning?

  …(>﹏<.)…

  Shi Huan and Li Tong both had gloomy expressions.

  Yesterday, the two of them heard that General Hussars was going to Qinglong Temple to watch a lecture, and at the same time, they also heard that Generals Hussars had a military exercise in Huaili, west of Chang'an, and dispatched a large number of cavalry and infantry...

  Of course, military exercises may also be a test of routine training, and there is no special meaning, but what if there is such a meaning?

  Although Shi Huan and Li Tong had planned for the worst before they came to Chang'an, but when they really saw that it might happen, it was still impossible to have any joyful sense of predictability.

   "This place is not bad..." Li Tong stood, looking up at the roof of the building on the side of the street, "If archers are placed on the roof, if it goes well..."

"This place?" Shi Huan said with a frown. "This place is really good. It can cover more than half of the street from a condescending height... But here is also a mixed crowd. I won't talk about it during the day. Even at night, it is brightly lit. I want to hide from people's eyes and ears. The roof, I'm afraid it's not easy... Let's see if there are other places..."

  Li Tong thought for a while, then nodded, and the two continued to move forward, "However, we need to settle down as soon as possible, time...time is really running out..."

Although some curfews were lifted in Chang'an City because of the Qinglong Temple's big talk, but only a few were lifted. Around the city, in the mausoleums, and in some important administrative squares, they were closed on the second day of the lunar new year. The door of the square is only opened at four o'clock in the Yinzheng period. During this period, it is strictly forbidden for idlers to wander around in the neighborhood, and offenders can be whipped thirty times.

  Thirty lashes will generally not kill you, but at least you will have to lie on your stomach for a month or two.

  So Shi Huan and Li Tong can only pass through unimpeded during the day, observe the terrain, and go back obediently at night to avoid being discovered. Of course, there are still people around Cai's mansion to watch, but General Hussars has not appeared for the time being...

"How about... don't care about going or not, let's start a fire in the Cai Mansion first?" Li Tong walked a few steps, looked at the team of inspectors who had just passed in front of him, and said in a low voice, "There are inspectors everywhere in the city." ...I can't guarantee when I will hit it..."

Shi Huan frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you're not in Cai's mansion... even if it's arson, at most it's just a riot, and it may not be able to attract it..." If General Hussars is in Cai's mansion, then under the fire, there must be It can be smoked out just like smoked voles, but if General Hussars is not in the Cai Mansion, then most likely he will send some people to fight the fire. Normally, it is impossible to come and pour two buckets of water in person.

   "If it doesn't work, it can only be outside the city..." Li Tong said in a low voice.

  Shi Huan nodded and sighed.

There are some buildings in the city, which are condescending and have a clear view. Naturally, they are the best places to assassinate with bows and arrows. In addition, because of the restrictions on the direction of the streets in the city, once you enter the streets, you will inevitably pass through the ambush point, but it is not the same outside the city. Well, one is that the height may not be enough, and the other is what if the Hussar General is not heading in the direction of his ambush?

   But there are many inspections in the city. Shi Huan and Li Tong are just rangers, not special forces reincarnated from later generations, so they can deal with normal situations, but when the scene gets complicated, both of them naturally find it difficult.

  But if this opportunity is really missed, the Hussar General will be in the army in the next stage and is ready to go out, so wouldn't there be no chance?

  Li Tong glanced at Shi Huan, who was concentrating on checking the terrain and evaluating the plan, then lowered his eyelids slightly, and rolled his eyes a few times. To be honest, Li Tong still has some conflicts now. Although Boss Cao is considered to be kind to him, is it really worth it if he entrusts his bad life here?

  Although what I said to Shi Huan before was so tragic and heroic, but, you knight, how can people know that you are not loyal? Is it true to use your body to do it? If so, how many times can you be loyal?

  If Li Tongzhen was so unambiguous about his friends, he might not be his friends, but himself. When Li Tong came to Chang'an, he originally thought that this matter was not complicated, it was just an assassination, and he had never done it before, but when he arrived in Chang'an, he discovered that there is actually a very big difference between assassinating ordinary people and assassinating Hussar generals.

  Do ordinary people have heavily guarded mansions?

  Do ordinary people have the protection of heavy armor guards?

   Not to mention the inspections cruising on the streets, if there is any abnormal situation for these old soldiers who have retreated from the battle with the Hussar General...

  Maybe it is a good result that there is no chance of assassination in the end? At that time, after General Hussars goes out to fight, the city of Chang'an will be more relaxed. Finding one or two targets at random will be considered a job, isn't it?

  Compared to the heavily guarded Hussar General, that chubby guy is a good target. Once a person is fat, his movements will inevitably be inconvenient, and he is too big to avoid, and there are not as many guards as the Hussar General...

   But for now, let’s just follow Shi Huan for now, this guy is a deadhead, it’s not time to talk about this yet...

  …(﹑ )()…

  Pang Tong naturally didn't know that Li Tong had already started to think about changing his target. He is now like a fat spider, sitting in the general's mansion, gathering all kinds of information from all directions...

Suddenly, Pang Tong grabbed a wooden tablet, looked it up and down, then rummaged from the other side of the table, found another wooden tablet, put it together twice, looked at it for a while, haha Laughing loudly, he stuffed the two wooden tablets into his bosom, stood up, and went to the inner hall where Fei Qian was.

   Fei Qian is now looking at the person in front of him with great interest.

   "Where did you find this?" Fei Qian stared at it, not sure if it was a psychological effect, or if there was some similarity in the first place, he felt that the person in front of him was really somewhat similar to himself.

Standing aside, Huang Xu also looked at the shivering stand-in kneeling under the hall, and said, "It's in Chang'an Prison. It's a thief who stole, but he was caught by the owner on the spot... I think it's a bit similar, I brought it up...but now it doesn't look very similar..."

   Fei Qian smiled. Huang Xu stayed with him every day, so he could tell the difference between the substitute and himself at a glance, but for outsiders, or those opponents who had only met once or twice, a three or four point similarity was enough.

Pang Tong rushed over, turned his head and saw a person kneeling under the hall, he didn't pay attention at first, but after taking a second look, he found that he was wearing the armor of General Hussars, he couldn't help being startled, and then he saw Fei Qian sitting in the hall , suddenly laughed, took two steps forward, looked in front of and behind the trembling stand-in, and said: "The body seems to be about the same, but a lot thinner... Also, the eyes and the beard don't look the same... But it's also It's pretty good…”

"The body shape, you can grow it after eating for a while..." Fei Qian didn't care, and said, "The beard is even easier, just find some fish glue to stick it on... As for the other things, don't worry too much Already..." Fei Qian just wants to deceive outsiders, but if they are too similar, he may not be at ease.

People's aura and temperament, the eyes occupy a large part of it, there is really no way to modify this, after all, Fei Qian has come up step by step in these years, and has also experienced many battles, there is naturally something in the eyes. There is such a sharp aura, but the little thief under the hall, with his eyelids stretched out, looks weak and timid.

   "Use it first..." Fei Qian waved his hand, and asked someone to take the double down. It is not bad to find a three or four points similar in a short period of time. Let's use it for a while, and change it if there is a more similar one in the future.

"By the way, find someone to teach him how to ride a horse first..." Fei Qian turned his head and told Huang Xu, "It's really not possible, just take a car when the time comes..." Horse riding can't be taught in a day or two, but how much To learn some. Taking part in the Great Discussion of Qinglong Temple, it is also in accordance with the etiquette to change to riding a car. It can be dealt with more or less, and then you must learn to ride a horse.

  Huang Xu nodded in response, and went to make arrangements without mentioning it.

   Fei Qian said to Pang Tong: "Looking at Shi Yuan's joy, could it be that he found it?"

"Aha, those who know me, the Lord also..." Pang Tong laughed twice, took out two wooden tablets from his arms, handed them to Feiqian's desk, and said, "Please look, Lord, this piece is It is the sales record of an abandoned manor house on the outskirts of Chang'an...Here...the person who bought it wrote that it was the Chuanshu Wu family, but the person who sold it said that these people did not have a central Sichuan accent...This piece is from a certain faction. , and then the store clerk reported that he saw the person Wang Wenshu had seen last time, and followed him all the way to this manor..."
