The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 105 Unexpected News
The four of them went up to the third floor of the city tower. The location here was very good, and there was a lookout in three directions, so they could observe the situation under the city and on the left and right city walls.Moreover, there is a secret door that can directly lead to the inner city, and the general can escape from it in case of an emergency.

Eight lanterns hung on the four walls, illuminating the room as bright as day.

There is a long wooden case in the northernmost part of the room, and behind the long case stands a wooden shelf for hanging battlefield maps. At the moment, a cowhide map within a thousand miles of the Erlong Valley is hanging on it. All kinds of cities, mountains, terrains, rivers, etc. within a thousand miles were created by Liu Ji.

There are six short wooden cases on the east and west sides, with cushions behind them, which are used for meeting military meetings here temporarily.On the south side, there is a huge stone platform covered with straw mats for the generals on duty to rest.

In the northeast corner is a large and strong weapon rack, which is filled with various weapons and arrows.

Although the entire interior furnishings are simple, they are simple and heavy, full of pragmatism.

"Xiaowen, bring some cushions here, let's sit here and eat." Jiang Chuan put the food box in his hand on a short wooden table and greeted Xiaowen.

In fact, the little girl brought the mat over without his asking, and the four of them sat around the short wooden table.

Bai Jinxiu's face was still red, as if she was afraid to look at Jiang Chuan, she lowered her head and set out the food in the food box with Xiaowen.

One food box contained four small dishes, and the other contained a stack of flatbreads and a bowl of meat sauce.

The dishes are two meat and two vegetables, one braised pork and one shredded chicken.The two vegetarian dishes are cold dishes mixed with seasonal fresh vegetables.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt his index finger move, and swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

The little girl Xiaowen happened to hear it, and said with a giggle: "Young master, you must be hungry, this braised pork is made by our lady herself, I am drooling just smelling it."

Jiang Chuan learned to be smart this time. He smiled and glanced at the blushing Bai Jinxiu and said, "Miss Bai is not only beautiful, but also has high martial arts skills, and she is also brave. It's enviable to know which lucky guy will be cheaper in the future."

Conscience of heaven and earth, Jiang Chuan's words did not imply any meaning at all, he was just used to the speaking style of his previous life, and he was habitually joking.After all, he had worked so hard to deliver meals to him, and last time he went to Datong City, so it's normal to say something nice.

But I didn't expect that after hearing this, Bai Jinxiu's face that had faded a little bit turned red again in an instant, and his whole body suddenly became awkward. After taking a deep look at Jiang Chuan, he quickly lowered his head like a frightened deer. .

Jiang Chuan didn't pay attention to the little attitudes of these daughters' families at all, his eyes were all attracted by the food on Table Mountain, and he wished to put a piece of braised pork in his mouth immediately.

But the little girl clearly sensed the abnormality of the young lady, looked at the young lady in surprise, and then said to Jiang Chuan with a smile on her face, "Master, since you don't want to envy others, let others envy you. "

Hearing Xiaowen's words, Bai Jinxiu couldn't help but look up at Jiang Chuan, her lips pursed, as if she was very nervous.

It's a pity that Jiang Chuan's attention is all on the food at the moment, and he didn't hear the meaning of the little girl's words at all. He laughed and said, "It's delicious now, it's not enviable enough. Come on, military advisor, let's Let's eat." He said and handed a pair of chopsticks to Liu Ji, who was smiling all the time, and he himself picked up the chopsticks and prepared to start with the braised pork.

Suddenly, a hint of deep disappointment flashed across Bai Jinxiu's face, and the original blushing complexion faded a little, and turned into the familiar indifferent state again.

The little girl had a panoramic view of all this, sighed lightly, gently took Miss La's hand, and whispered something in her ear, Bai Jinxiu's complexion got better, with a hint of lightness on her face. smile.

Liu Ji glanced left and right at the chopsticks handed over by Jiang Chuan, smiled slightly, and stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, slowly chewing.

Jiang Chuan had eaten so much that oil was protruding from the corners of his mouth.

"It's delicious, it's really fragrant. This is the second best braised pork I've ever eaten." Jiang Chuan yelled while eating.

When Bai Jinxiu watched Jiang Chuan eat, his expression was always a little nervous. Seeing Jiang Chuan's appearance of being reincarnated from starvation, he felt relieved, and the smile on his face became even wider.

"Where did you eat the most delicious braised pork?" the little girl Xiaowen asked curiously.

"The most delicious braised pork is made by my mother. It is the best braised pork I have ever eaten. It's a pity that I will never eat it again in this life." When he said the last sentence, Jiang Chuan's expression suddenly dimmed , but soon returned to normal.

Looking at the gloomy look on Jiang Chuan's face just now, Bai Jinxiu felt that something had been stabbed in the softest part of her heart, she couldn't help but pursed her lips, and looked at the wolf-eating man in front of her with a trace of tenderness in her eyes.

It's a pity that Jiang Chuan, a straight man, only knows how to eat, and he doesn't even notice the emotional ups and downs of the female tyrannosaurus and tigress in his mind.

The little girl was a ghost, looking at Jiang Chuan's appearance, she didn't know that what she just said had touched Jiang Chuan's sad past, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my son, it was Xiaowen who said the wrong thing."

With a piece of chicken in his hand, Jiang Chuan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's nothing. There are eight hardships in life, birth, old age, sickness and death, sorrow and sorrow, resentment and resentment, parting from love, and not being able to ask for it. I'm used to it. I just wish my mom would be better off there."

What Jiang Chuan said naturally refers to the world he came from, but in other people's ears, Jiang Chuan's mother is already under Jiuquan.

However, Jiang Chuan's indifference made the two women feel that Jiang Chuan was really pretending to be strong.

The two women looked at each other with tacit understanding, and when they looked at Jiang Chuan, there was more tenderness in their eyes, Bai Jinxiu's was pity, and Xiaowen's was sympathy.

Jiang Chuan was completely unaware of all this, and just buried himself in eating.

Liu Ji didn't interrupt, and just ate food slowly, which was much more refined than Jiang Chuan's.

Soon, the two pots of meat dishes were almost wiped out by Jiang Chuan and Liu Ji, and more than half of them fell into Jiang Chuan's mouth.

"Cool!" Jiang Chuan swallowed the last piece of braised pork in his mouth, and burped comfortably, making the little girl on the opposite side giggle.

"My lord, what do you think this is?" the little girl lowered her head and took out something from the food box and put it on the table, smiling.

Jiang Chuan saw that it was a blue and white porcelain bottle about three inches high with a cork on it, and asked curiously, "Could it be perfume?"

"Perfume? Young master, did you mean fragrance for women? Then you guessed wrong, you will know when you come and smell it." The little girl pulled out the cork with a smile.

Immediately, a strong smell of wine wafted out, lingering in the mouth and nose.

The aroma of this wine is so strong, not to mention that Jiang Chuan couldn't help taking a deep breath, even Liu Ji, who has always been very gentle, showed a look of contentment and longing on his face, and looked over.

"Good wine, really good wine. It smells so good before drinking it. Where did you get it?" Jiang Chuan took the porcelain bottle in his hand, closed his eyes and took another sip, his face full of intoxication, and then opened asked eagerly.

He didn't like alcohol in the past, and he only drank a little during social gatherings.Usually no alcohol is completely fine.

But I don't know why, after coming to this world, I always feel a faint desire for wine in my heart.But never had the chance to drink.

Unexpectedly, when he saw this wine today, the wine worms in his body would be hooked out immediately.

"Since you think it smells delicious, you might as well have a drink first." The little girl didn't answer him, but took the porcelain bottle from him with a smile, filled two white jade wine glasses, and gave Jiang Chuan and Liu Ji each a glass of wine. a cup.

"My lord, sir, please!" The little girl giggled and made a gesture of please.

Jiang Chuan was not too polite, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down. The mouthfeel was clear and slightly bitter, but soon his lips and teeth were full of fragrance, and the aftertaste was endless. He couldn't help but exclaimed loudly: "Good wine!"

Liu Ji also looked intoxicated, stroking his beard and nodding in praise: "It is indeed a rare and good wine. But Dong Xiangchun, who is famous all over the world?"

Liu Ji has traveled around the world for half his life, and it is inevitable to taste the local food and wine wherever he goes.There are not many elegant scholars in the world who are not good at drinking.

"Mr. is indeed well-informed. This is indeed Daming's Dong Xiangchun." Bai Jinxiu, who had been silent all this time, said with a smile.

"Yeah? As far as I know, this fragrant spring can only be bought in the Central Plains of Ming Dynasty. Where can Miss Bai be found?" Liu Ji asked in surprise.

"Sir, my lady finally bought this from a Daming man when she went to Datong City last time. The lady said that the young master and the gentleman will definitely like it, so I bought it." Bai Jinxiu has not yet Talking, the little girl Xiaowen spoke.

Bai Jinxiu glared at Xiaowen reproachfully, but Xiaowen stuck out her tongue and dared not speak.

"It's actually a coincidence. I went to Datong that day. When I was about to return, I saw a man on the road who said that he was robbed by thieves and all his belongings were robbed. There was only one bottle left that was hidden in advance and prepared to enjoy slowly. Dongxiangchun. He wanted to return home, but he had no money, so he had to sell this Dongxiangchun on the street. I thought this person’s words were credible, so I bought it, and I happened to bring it back for the two to taste.”

Bai Jinxiu said softly with a faint smile on his face, his eyes glanced at Jiang Chuan intentionally or unintentionally, and then quickly moved away.

No matter how dull Jiang Chuan was at this time, he knew that the girl had bought it for him to drink, and smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Miss Bai has a heart, Jiang Chuan thank you here."

However, Bai Jinxiu smiled lightly and said, "My lord, you are being polite, but the kindness of saving your life cannot be repaid with a bottle of wine."

This girl didn't even bother me, Jiang Chuan is still not used to it.However, he didn't intend to continue this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "Miss Bai went to Datong this time, did she hear any news? Last time the Tartars attacked Datong, did the Ming court make no movement?"

Jiang Chuan was actually just asking casually, but Bai Jinxiu said after pondering: "Speaking of this, I got a piece of news from that wine seller. The man said that he came from the capital of Daming, and said that the nearest capital Rumor has it that the Ming court is going to photograph a minister surnamed Yuan to come to Datong as a supervisor."

"The one surnamed Yuan? Does the military adviser know who the minister surnamed Yuan is?" Jiang Chuan looked at Liu Ji suspiciously.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Ji said: "As far as I know, there seems to be only one person in the Ming court whose surname is Yuan and who knows about soldiers, and that is Yuan Chonghuan, Minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty."

"Yuan Chonghuan?" Jiang Chuan was a little stunned when he heard the name.

　There is one more.It will be coded out before midnight.
