Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 561 I think too much (4000)

Of course, this may also be some kind of unknown cover-up, like some kind of large-scale magic in later generations.

There are some magicians in later generations who can make a train disappear in the blink of an eye, and then show the train in front of the people and it will come.

And although most of the people in later generations couldn't understand the principle before the magic was decrypted, they generally didn't regard it as some kind of unnatural magic. Even the magician himself admitted that it was just a kind of magic. It's just for entertainment, not to be taken seriously.

In fact.

There is indeed such a detail in the history books.

It was still Boss Cao’s experience with Zuo Ci. After Zuo Ci used a bottle of wine and a piece of dried meat to satiate the hundreds of scholar-bureaucrats accompanying Boss Cao, Boss Cao felt that this was strange, so he sent someone to investigate the reason. , As a result, after a search, it was discovered that all the nearby wine shops and butcher shops were stolen yesterday, and the wine and meat in the shops disappeared inexplicably.

No one knew how Zuo Ci did it, so Boss Cao planned to arrest him for interrogation, but Zuo Ci retreated into the wall in front of Boss Cao, and escaped easily.

Later, Boss Cao tried his best to arrest Zuo Ci, but he was always able to save the day with unimaginable means, even Boss Cao was helpless.

Zuo Ci's method is indeed not simple.

But if you only talk about wine and meat, it is really possible to explain it with a blind eye.

Otherwise, how could the history books specifically mention the details of all the thefts of nearby wine shops and butcher shops? This at least shows that his wine and meat did not appear out of thin air, and there must always be a traceable place to go.

So it is.

Wu Liangcai asked Prince Chamu, Yu Ji and Zhuge Liang to line up in order to retrieve some wine and meat for inspection.

However, even if it is really some kind of blindfold, I am afraid it will not be simple.

After all, the two big copper tripods were just lifted up, and a fire was lit under the tripods for heating, so it was impossible to communicate with any place.

And it is these two independent copper tripods that will feed the people of the whole city.

If Zuo Ci could really do it, even if he could find the suspected source of wine and meat, it would be an incredible thing, and it would definitely be much more subtle than the magic of later generations.

At least Wu Liang couldn't figure out how Zuo Ci would replenish the wine and meat in the copper tripod so that it would be inexhaustible.

……

After a long time.

Prince Chamu, Yu Ji and Zhuge Liang finally came back, but it was really hard for them to squeeze back and forth among those almost crazy people.

Fortunately, the defenders of Jinyang City have been maintaining order, otherwise it might not be their turn at all.

Even so, these three guys were also very embarrassed when they came back. Zhuge Liang, who was very concerned about his personal image, had his carefully combed hair scattered, Yu Ji's Gebu robe was also torn, and Prince Chamu There are a few more messy footprints on his buttocks.

But fortunately not disgraceful.

They finally brought back the meat and wine distributed by Zuo Ci.

Two slices of dried meat per person, and a bowl of slightly cloudy corn wine.

Like some cafeterias in later generations, each person can only receive so much at a time, and they can go to the line to receive it after eating and drinking, but they are not allowed to take it home.

The defenders of Jinyang City have surrounded this place, leaving only one exit.

Anyone who leaves must undergo strict inspections, and it is not easy to hide from under their noses.

Of course, Wu Liang didn't intend to keep Chen Cang in the dark, so it's better not to take the risk under such circumstances.

Received dried meat and corn wine from the three of them.

Wu Liang first took a closer look at the wine, and it seemed that the taste was no different from ordinary corn wine. Then he stuck out his tongue and dipped a little bit of it with the tip of his tongue to taste it, but he still didn't feel any difference.

"Dianwei, do you want to try it too?"

Wu Liang then handed the wine to Dian Wei.

He wasn't very worried that the wine was mixed with poison, unless Zuo Ci had the intention to poison the people of a city, then it might affect him, and if Zuo Ci had done such an earth-shattering and unreasonable event, there would be no history books recorded.

What's more, before them, many people have already eaten wine and meat, and they have tried poison for them.

"promise."

Although Dian Wei is a good drinker.

But at this moment, he also understood that this wine was not for drinking, so he followed Wu Liang's example and first sniffed it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he dipped a little bit of the wine with the tip of his tongue to taste it.

"As far as Wei can see, it is no different from ordinary corn wine."

Dian Wei soon came to a conclusion.

"Um……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and gently tore off a small piece of shredded meat from the dried meat. As usual, he sniffed it first, then bit off a small piece and chewed it carefully in his mouth.

It seems that there is still no difference, it should be pork.

"You also try it."

Wu Liang said to the others.

Everyone followed suit one after another, and then shook their heads one after another: "I haven't tasted any difference."

From this point of view, the wine and the meat should be real...

But where does this wine and meat come from?
Unlike what was recorded in the history books, this time it was the people of the whole city who were going to be fed. Even if all the wine shops and butcher shops in Jinyang City had been emptied of all their stocks, it was still far from enough.

After all, the productivity in this period is really limited, and wine and meat are very scarce materials, and Jinyang City can only be regarded as a small county-level city now, so it is impossible to hoard so much wine and meat.

"Chamu, when you went to collect the wine and meat, did you ever take a close look at those two big bronze tripods?"

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, then asked in another direction.

"I've observed it, and it's just two ordinary copper tripods, without any strange smell, even the wine and meat in them are very ordinary, but it seems that there is only half of the tripod left, I'm afraid we will see each other soon It's over."

Chamu said seriously.

"So when those soldiers distributed wine and meat to you, did they have any suspicious behavior?"

Wu Liang then asked.

"not at all."

Prince Chamu, Yu Ji and Zhuge Liang shook their heads at the same time.

"..."

Wu Liang immediately fell silent.

No flaws can be seen in all aspects. It seems that it is difficult to prove Wu Liang's conjecture only through these appearances.

However, referring to Boss Cao's method in the history books, he can still order Yang Wanli to visit wine shops and butcher shops in the city afterwards.

Of course, if these wine shops and butcher shops were stolen collectively, even if they didn't visit them, it would definitely cause an uproar, and some people would go to the government office to ask for an explanation.

Just at this time.

"Sir, look!"

Dian Wei suddenly pointed to the place where the wine and meat were distributed and reminded softly.

I saw that several soldiers had already erected the two large bronze tripods that had been carried out earlier with wooden beams, and then carried them together to the back of the ancient altar.

On the other side, more than a dozen soldiers came out carrying two large bronze tripods that looked very heavy.

"This……"

Wu Liang suddenly didn't know what to say.

It's only his fault that he preconceived that Zuo Ci was going to use some trick to feed the whole city with only two copper tripods of wine and meat.

After working for a long time, they didn't play these mysterious methods at all, but used the simplest method to carry out the wine and meat one by one, which naturally has nothing to do with the blindfold method.

but.

Wu Liang still had a question in his heart.

Even if there is no so-called blindfold, Zuo Ci's ability to produce so much wine and meat at once is still a question worth investigating.

This is not a small amount.

If these wine and meat were exchanged for food, even people like Boss Cao and Yuan Benchu ​​would have no choice but to look sideways. This would definitely be worth a considerable amount of food.

What's more, even if it is just transportation, it will consume a lot of manpower.

Unless Zuo Ci came to Jinyang City and brought an army of food and grass with him, it would be impossible to accomplish this matter!
So logically speaking.

Zuo Ci should be a powerful character with money and people.

But if this is the case, it will be difficult for him to avoid the eyes and ears of the people when he enters the city, and it is naturally impossible for the people in the city to know nothing about him...

When thinking about it like this.

"Sir, I'm back."

Yang Wanli had rushed back at some point, and whispered next to Wu Liang, "I have found out that Jinyang Commander Zhang Liang is now living in the east of the city, and after the sacrificial ceremony is over, he will take a carriage and return via the city road. At home, I have taught people to keep an eye on the carriage, and I have already found out the exact route. In addition, Zuo Ci is now living in his house, they shared the same carriage when they came here, and it should be the same when they go back. "

"Thanks for your hard work."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You just stare here, I'll go back and prepare some things, and I'll meet you later."

……

Wu Liang and the others left without any wine or meat, so they were naturally released after being inspected by the Jinyang City defenders.

In fact, he also thought about whether there would be any unexpected changes if he "smuggled" the wine and meat out privately, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it.

Because he can fully imagine that with so many people, it is impossible for everyone to obey the rules, and it is impossible for everyone to obey the rules.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some people will secretly hide some wine and meat and bring them out to enjoy slowly, and use methods that you can't think of, and they can't use them.

So what if the wine and meat really changed.

I believe it will spread in the city soon, and Yang Wanli can easily find out, and there is no need for them to take risks by themselves, so as not to miss the serious business.

After returning home.

Wu Liang didn't appear to be in a hurry, on the contrary, he slowly instructed the remaining soldiers to chop the pork Yang Wanli had bought into mincemeat with some condiments.

Then he tossed out his gas mask and the small porcelain bottle containing "Returning Soul Incense".

This time when I went to watch the sacrificial ceremony, Wu Liang didn't bring anything with him, in order to prevent Zuo Ci from possessing some unknown powerful abilities. He just took one more look at him in the crowd, so he couldn't forget his face. It's tantamount to scaring the snake... After all, Zuo Ci is so famous that he definitely deserves to be the person who is the closest to a god in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and he may even be a land god.

Then he took out the charcoal bag in the gas mask.

Grind the carbon powder contained in the charcoal bag more finely, and finally open the small porcelain bottle containing "Hui Hun Xiang", and only drop a very pitiful drop of "Hui Hun Xiang" into the carbon powder, and slowly stir evenly , so that the "Huihunxiang" is completely integrated into the toner.

"Jingjing, do you have any extra sachets?"

After finishing all this, Wu Liang turned to look at Bai Jingjing and asked.

"Don't you know I never wear a sachet?"

Bai Jingjing asked instead of answering.

"Yeah, how did I forget this?"

Wu Liang slapped his forehead.

It is true that Bai Jingjing never wears a sachet, this is a habit she developed when she was still a tomb keeper.

Because her father Bai Qiru said that smell is also an obvious identity mark, which will also increase the risk of exposure, and once the tomb keeper is exposed, his own life is second, if it implicates the former master, it will be a sin that will be punished by heaven and earth.

Therefore, every tomb guard of the Bai family is very low-key. Not only do women not wear sachets, but they never wear jade pendants and waist cards to prove their identity.

"Husband, why don't you ask me?"

Immediately, Zhen Mi's slightly pampered voice came from the side, "Hmph! Or do you still not have me in your heart?"

"You have?"

Wu Liang turned around and suddenly felt that he had asked a nonsense question.

Zhen Mi must have some, she never lacks accessories for a girl like her, and she has to bring a full set every time she goes out. Wu Liang has smelled several different fragrances on her before, so it can be seen that the sachet should be It is very diligent to change, and change different styles at any time.

"I'm in a hurry to go out this time. There are only two of them, but they don't smell as good as the stuff in your bottle."

Zhen Mi lifted off the linen clothes that Wu Liang asked to put on after following Wu Liang, revealing two exquisitely crafted sachets hanging from her waist, then twisted her waist, and said delicately, "If you want , then reach out and take it yourself.”

After finishing speaking, she deliberately glanced sideways at Bai Jingjing, as if she was demonstrating and competing.

"This……"

The two sachets were tied to Zhen Mi's waist rope.

If Wu Liang wanted to take it, he would have to touch Zhen Mi's body. Even though Zhen Mi was actually wearing a shirt and nothing was showing, but in this age of conservative thinking, such a behavior would be considered indecent. .

Then look at the childish Zhen Mi's charm beyond words.

Wu Liang even wondered if Zhen Mi brought two sachets at a time to cover up the unique smell of a fox. After all, Tu Shannvjiao is a nine-tailed fox demon.

"..."

Seeing this, the backbone of the Tuan army in the room turned around very consciously, then walked out of the room silently, and closed the door by the way.

Look no further.

This is already Wu Liang's housework, it is really inappropriate for outsiders like them to stay here.

of course.

Bai Jingjing was also imprisoned inside. In their eyes, Bai Jingjing was Wu Liang's main wife, followed by the ten beauties who Wu Liang stayed at home, and then there was a well-known man from far away in Le'an Kingdom. ... I heard that Wen Renzhao's belly was too big to hide a few months ago, and counting the time Wu Liang spent with her, he may have given birth to an heir for Wu Liang by now.

After counting these women, it was Zhen Mi who had just joined the gang.
