Chapter 3 There are ears across the table

There is a wine shop on the roadside, with a red flag hanging at the door. There seems to be no additional decoration on the flag, but there are many people coming and going, and the sound of people drinking and talking can often be heard.

After three cups of rice wine, I dared to say things I didn’t dare to say on weekdays, and started discussing issues I didn’t dare to discuss.

"After drinking wine from so many places, I think the wine from this place is the most authentic and the most mellow in the mouth. Unlike the wine from some places, the more you drink, the tasteless it becomes. I don't know how much more water is added to it."

A man in plain clothes was talking while drinking. Every time he drank a glass of wine, he would close his eyes for a while, completely immersing himself in the enjoyment of the wine.

"What Brother Guo said is true. I am also a frequent visitor to this wine shop. With Brother Guo's knowledge of wine, it should not be difficult to figure out what kind of wine it is!" The two of them knelt down and sat at the table, looking at each other.

There were several cans of wine on the empty wine bottle, so I guess I had been drinking for some time.

"Brother Zhao wants to test Mr. Guo, right? Let me think about it carefully. The aroma of this wine is light and not overpowering. After hearing it for a long time, I feel like I am in a land of bright flowers. In my humble opinion, this must be a kind of flower.

wine."

"Awesome, awesome!" The person named Zhao couldn't help but clapped and clapped. "This wine is called Baihua Niang, but it is very precious. I have some old friendship with the proprietress of this shop, and she had to spend a lot of time talking about it.

He is willing to bring out two cans to satisfy our hunger. Speaking of which, I haven't been able to drink it for a long time." As he said this, he stroked a few long beards on his chin. He looked young, but his beard was not.

It's short, and it looks like it's been carefully trimmed.

"Baihua Brewing, this is a good name. I think I brewed chrysanthemum wine myself when I was on a study tour a few years ago. I picked the chrysanthemums that bloomed in September, and those that smell fragrant and taste sweet, dried them in the sun every two

Use a bucket of chrysanthemum heads to make two pieces of clear wine. Put it in a raw juan bag and hang it about one finger above the surface of the wine. Then seal the mouth of the bottle and leave it for a few days. After a few days, remove the flower bag and the wine will have the fragrance of chrysanthemums.

I just don’t know if this Hundred Flowers Brewing really requires hundreds of flowers to be brewed?” asked the man surnamed Guo.

"Baihua Niang, Baihua Niang, even though it is called this, it is impossible to actually pick Baihua Niang to make it. I have also asked many people about the brewing techniques of this kind of wine, but those who can use flowers to make wine are basically

There are only a few people, and even fewer people can make this kind of wine that feels like being in a place where hundreds of flowers are blooming. Although it is a pity, no matter how good the wine is, it will lose its flavor if you drink it every day. Today, you and I will have a good wine as a companion.

, I am already as happy as a god, how can I dare to have other ideas?"

"Brother Zhao, although this wine is good, we have been drinking it for a long time. Why don't we open our hearts and talk about this important matter in the world?"

"Brother Guo, be careful that walls have ears. It's good that you and I know some things well. It's not appropriate to discuss them openly. If it causes unforeseen disasters, wouldn't it be regrettable?"

"Hey, Brother Zhao's worries are of course not unreasonable, but there are some words that I have been holding in my heart for a long time. I had a great chat with Brother Zhao today. As the saying goes, when a friend meets a close friend, a thousand cups will be too little. If these words are not enough at this time,

Are there any other opportunities to talk about it in the future? "

The person named Zhao nodded slightly after hearing this, and then said:

"I don't think I can even talk to Brother Guo, so in this case I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman today. We two brothers will drink fine wine today and talk about world affairs!"

At this moment, a man covered in blood and unkempt hair also walked into the wine shop. Half of his face was blocked by his disheveled hair, and the other half was difficult to see clearly because of the blood on his face.

, this person is none other than Xiang Yu who was reborn in the body of young Zhou Zhuo.

It turns out that he had a lot of blood because he scratched his arm before, and there was indeed some blood stains on his body and clothes, but it never looked like this on him at this time. He seemed to have just experienced something.

It was like a fierce fight. Perhaps the blood stains on his body were not all his own.

At this time, the waiter in the store saw Xiang Yu walking in like this. He was stunned for a while in shock, and then rushed forward to stop Xiang Yu and shouted to him: "You damn beggar, we are not here."

Anyone can come in, get out of here!"

However, Xiang Yu seemed not to hear what the other party said at all. He turned sideways and walked straight inside until he reached an empty seat. He saw him throwing out a small bag and opening it through a hole in the bag.

Looking at it, you can see that there seems to be some five baht coins inside.

"Bring me three pounds of beef and two cans of fine wine, both hot!"

Seeing Xiang Yu ignoring him, the waiter in the shop was a little angry at first. However, when his eyes saw the bag full of coins, the expression on his face suddenly changed. The speed of his face change was similar to that in Sichuan Opera.

His facial makeup was not much worse than that of his face-changing face. A smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said: "Your Majesty, you really have a good appetite. Our store is famous for its beef and wine in the city.

Please wait a moment."

"Hurry up! The wine should be stronger and the beef should be raw. I like the chewy kind." Xiang Yu said.

The waiter in the shop looked at Xiang Yu again, and then moved his eyes to the money bag on the table. At this time, he saw Xiang Yu's eyes staring at him. At this time, when his eyes came into contact with Xiang Yu's eyes, he suddenly

I felt shocked, that kind of gaze was really inconsistent with his whole body.

After all, the waiter in this restaurant has been working in this restaurant for several years. He has seen a lot of people of all kinds coming and going around him. He thinks that he has some experience in looking at people, but Xiang Yu

He has never seen this kind of look at him. Although he has never seen it before, he has seen similar looks. The owners of those looks are all very fierce or powerful people, and this guy in front of him

He was clearly just a beggar covered in blood, and the money he took out probably didn't come from normal channels.

Thinking of this, the waiter in the shop made a decision. The behavior of the man in front of him was very suspicious, so he simply reported his whereabouts to the nearby official. Maybe the other person happened to be a murderer who had just committed a crime, and he could at least get some information from the government.

tips.

After being glared at by Xiang Yu, the waiter no longer dared to reach for the money on the table. He just nodded and turned around to walk towards the inner courtyard of the restaurant.

Xiang Yu stared at the waiter leaving the store with cold eyes. Then he took off his coat. The blood stains on the coat were already slightly black. There were several small holes in the coat. If there were some

Anyone with experience can tell at a glance that these small holes were clearly caused by sharp weapons such as swords.

Xiang Yu's arrival also attracted the attention of people in the surrounding wine shops. Both his appearance and his actions attracted the attention of others. Although this wine shop is not located in the center of the city, it is close to where it is located.

With a good economic status, all kinds of people will appear here.

"Brother Guo, it's okay. I think that brother must have encountered some trouble. The world is like this now. Even if you don't take the initiative to find trouble, trouble will come to you from time to time."

The man surnamed Guo nodded slightly. In fact, his eyes would look at where Xiang Yu was from time to time, but he didn't see much merit in Xiang Yu for a while, so he said: "What Brother Zhao said

Extremely, there have been constant natural disasters in recent years. Is it really because God is dissatisfied with what we have done, so he wants to send disasters to wake up the world?"

"If it were in the past, I would definitely not believe that there was something like heaven above that would bring disaster to the world. But not long ago, I got a strange illness. I felt weak all over my body. I kept vomiting from morning to night.

There was not much oil or water left in my stomach, and I would have to vomit to death if this continued. Fortunately, I have a good friend who knows an expert. After briefly looking at my situation, he drew a talisman for me, and then

Let me burn this talisman and mix it with rootless water and drink it. I didn't believe this person at first, but at that time I was so weak that I was about to lose consciousness. There was no other way.

Strangely enough, within half a day of drinking this talisman water, I stopped vomiting. In the following days, this expert would feed me the talisman water once a day. After that, the disease really got better.

Do you think it's strange or not?" said the man named Zhao.

"Brother Zhao, I have heard some things like what you are talking about. Especially in Julu County, there seems to be a god named Zhang Jiao. He spreads a doctrine called Taiping Dao there. You

The method of drawing talismans to cure diseases was probably the first one he used. Later, many people followed him, and many people had the ability to draw talisman to cure diseases. It is said that as long as the heart is sincere enough, Huang Tian can bless him.

Everyone is free from illness and disaster. If you are dishonest, you will be punished by disasters from the Yellow Sky!"

"Brother Guo, is there really such a god in this world? If I could have known about him earlier, maybe my wife and youngest son would not have left me early. You said that this god lives in Julu

County? Anyway, now my family is ruined and I am all alone. In the past two days, I will sell all my land and house, and go to the giant deer to find the immortal."

"Brother, I don't know that you have lost your wife and children. I can only express my condolences and surrender. That Taoist Zhang Jiao must have some righteousness. At first, there were not many people who followed him. However, in the past two years, various states and counties have

There have been many believers who believe in Taiping Dao. In fact, brother, if you really want to join them, you don’t need to sell your belongings and go to Julu to find the horn. There are some people in our local area, and I had plans to do so.

Those who want to join it happen to be my two brothers."

"So good, so good!"

These words were naturally heard by Xiang Yu. As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention and the listener has intention. Although Xiang Yu looked quite depressed at this time, what he was thinking deep down in his heart was that he could make a comeback in this era. Four hundred years ago

After his defeat by Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty came into existence for four hundred years. Today, the situation of the Han Dynasty is not good. People have been displaced due to various natural disasters. Local officials and powerful men have recruited private soldiers to seize territory. The court buys officials and sells titles.

This scene couldn't help but remind Xiang Yu of the Qin Dynasty back then. It was clear that the world was about to be in chaos.

Speaking of the giant deer, Xiang Yu immediately recalled that he personally led tens of thousands of troops to fight against the Qin general Zhang Han. Wang Li led nearly 400,000 troops. Before the decisive battle across the river that day, he ordered the destruction of the ferry boat and cooking pots.

, with the determination that there would be no retreat without victory in this battle, he finally defeated the Qin army with a small victory and a large number.

The past is like smoke, and the majestic and heroic figures of that day have passed away. However, Xiang Yu has begun to think about going back to the big deer again. Who is this so-called god Zhang Jiao in their mouth? Xiang Yu can't help but wonder.

Some ideas.

He is not a person who easily believes in the magic of gods in the world. He only believes in the weapons in his hands and the soldiers he leads. However, today is different from the past. Xiang Yu, who now has almost nothing, needs to think about how to survive in this world.

To gain a foothold in the world, on the other hand, he must look for all available resources to seek opportunities for his future comeback.
