    Thinking about the peaceful and prosperous times before, and seeing the flames and the broken mountains and rivers, Lin Dan realized that he could no longer stand on the sidelines. She dug out a wine jar buried in the cave and moved to the front line several times, hoping to meet Wei Yuanhou.

    "Who do you think wants to see Ben Hou?" Marquis Weiyuan almost thought he had heard it wrong.

    "Back to Lord Hou, the shopkeeper Lin Danlin wants to see you. She has been waiting for you for more than 20 days outside the barracks. If I didn't see her when I was out of the camp today, I don't know how long and how long she will wait." The chief guard of Yuanhou used to follow his master to eat at the restaurant in his hometown every day, so how could he not know Shopkeeper Lin? Thinking that Hou Ye's condition got worse at the beginning, and he was so thin that he was too thin, so he relied on treasurer Lin's good craftsmanship to make up his body.

    "She is a lone woman, so she shouldn't stay at home well, she ran to the border to do a lot!" Wei Yuanhou frowned, seemingly displeased, but still hurriedly got up and went to the door to pick up people.

    "Master Hou, haven't seen him for many years, don't you come here unharmed?" Lin Dan smiled and saluted.

    "Don't stand here, let me go to the tent." Weiyuanhou muttered all the way: "Why did you run here? Did you encounter any danger on the road? This is not a good place. In the near future, blood may flow into rivers and corpses all over. , You better leave soon, I will send someone to escort you."

    "Master Hou, I'm here to give you a gift." Lin Dan put the jar in his arms on the table.

    "What kind of wine is this?" Wei Yuanhou finally showed his first smile in recent days. Since he got used to eating at the restaurant in his hometown, he seldom drinks anymore, because shopkeeper Lin refuses. He didn't know why he was so obedient, but facts proved that treasurer Lin had to listen. His already ill and weakened body gradually recovered under the meticulous nourishment of treasurer Lin. Otherwise, there would be no such person as Wei Yuanhou in this world.

    "This is the thousand-day wine you are thinking of." Lin Dan poured the clear wine into the empty bowl.

    "We have been apart for less than three years? Well, you Lin Dan, it takes at least three years to brew Thousand Days wine. Then where did you get this jar of wine? You deliberately blamed me!" Staring madly.

    "This is the wine I have stored elsewhere. It has been buried for five years." Lin Dan said with a smile: "However, when I came today, it was not this jar of wine that I gave, but the contents of the wine. Look at him, Lord Hou."

    When Wei Yuan looked intently, he saw a slender, pink fleshy insect dripping out of the clear drink. As soon as the bug came out, the already mellow and fragrant liquor exuded a more domineering smell, making the entire camp can smell it. Not to mention how salivating he was, even the soldiers standing outside the account couldn't help but sniff, and then shook his head, as if drunk.

    "Is this a wine bug?" Wei Yuanhou couldn't believe his eyes.

    "That's right. Only top wine can breed wine bugs. Put it in clear water. After a while, this clear water can turn into a bowl of fine wine." Lin Dan took the wine bugs out and put them into the bowl of water. After a short while, the mouth of the bowl has a strong aroma of wine.

    Wei Yuanhou took a deep breath and suddenly laughed: "Lin Dan, I like your gift!"

    Lin Dan narrowed his eyebrows and slowly said, "But do you know that Lord Hou? The wine bug can live in fine wine or in clear water, but if it is put into a muddy liquid, it will die immediately ." She said as she fished the wine worm into the empty bowl, and poured some brown tea. I saw the wine bug tumbling violently, instantly stiffening, and then slowly turning into a stream of blood.

    Wei Yuanhou's ecstasy instantly fell to the bottom of the valley, a pair of eagle eyes glared at Lin Dan, as if angry, but he was reluctant to blame her. No matter how precious the wine bug is, it can't match the weight of this person in his heart.

    Lin Dan looked back without being timid, and continued: "Master Hou, bluntly said that my hands can turn decay into magic, no matter how weird the ingredients are, they can always become delicious in my hands, but there is something, No matter how hard I try, there is no way to make it a dish, do you know what it is?"

    "What is it?" Wei Yuanhou asked patiently.

    "It's Guanyin soil. Along the way, I have seen blood flow into rivers, hungry and perish everywhere, people displaced, precarious, and eat everything when they are extremely hungry. I grabbed a lot of Guanyin soil, stuffed it in my mouth, and broke it. The belly is dead. Have you tasted the taste of Guanyin soil? Do you know the feeling of being homeless and fate? The people of the Great Chu Kingdom, like this wine worm struggling in the turbid liquid, will sooner or later turn into Bloody water. Lord Hou, what exactly are you defending when you come to the frontier to fight?"

    Weiyuan Hou Zheng wanted to answer but was interrupted by Lin Dan: "You are defending the imperial power, the emperor, and his absolute rule over the Great Chu Kingdom. You pride yourself on your loyalty, but other than that, you can't see the struggle. The people of the Li people under the imperial power. If you really pinch the coalition of Tang Shizi and Xiaojun from the rear, the Xiongnu’s cavalry will go straight into the Central Plains and crush the mountains and rivers. At that time, the emperor will be able to keep his throne by cutting a few cities. You can see the people struggling for survival in these cities. You don’t know the inferior nature of the Huns. They only know aggression and do not know how to govern. They will reap the lives of the people in the city, kill everyone and kill everything. The houses were burned down, and even the chickens and dogs were not left. Occupying these cities, they will become stronger and stronger, but the Great Chu Kingdom, which lost the city and was torn apart, will become weaker and weaker. Within five years, another A war will break out between the two countries. This time, who can save the people and the world, are you?"

    Lin Dan looked directly at Wei Yuanhou, and asked: "Are you doing everything you are doing now to defend Great Chu and save the people, or to help the people be abused and trap the Li people? Chu has been in peace for a few years, but what about afterwards?"

    She poured the muddy water out of the bowl, and her voice became calm again: "Living in a troubled world, people are like ants, and no one can escape the fate of being dumped. Living in a prosperous world, there will be good wine and food, and a wine bug has died. You can also raise thousands of wine bugs. Lord Marquis, your distinguished status, even if the country is depressed and the people are not living, you still have a way to get food to make wine, but do you know that when you enjoy wine and food, the people Are you eating soil, or even eating people? Lord Marquis, you can retreat, and the world is peaceful. Without this wine bug, I can raise more wine bugs for you in the future, don't you think?"

    Weiyuanhou’s gloomy eyes were replaced by deep thinking. After a long time, when Lin Dan was about to give up, he slowly turned the finger of his hand and said: "Lin Dan, let's talk about it, you can't I regret it. You can't stop how much I want to drink from now on."

    Lin Dan smiled and nodded, "I'm done, don't regret it."

    …………

    It was the night, Tang Jiu and the King of Dianqian, no, they should be called King of Dianqian now, they were sitting by the campfire drinking. Tomorrow King Huns will launch a general offensive against them, and Weiyuanhou will definitely take advantage of the chaos. When both sides are flanked, this war will be lost. But they can't retreat, take a step back, and the Huns will go further, and the people of the Great Chu Kingdom will surely suffer annihilation.

    "It would be great if we could persuade the old man of Weiyuanhou." The King of Yunnan and Qian said in a deep voice.

    "I can't persuade him, he didn't see anyone before the war." Tang Jiu shook his head.

    The King of Dianqian sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "Then fight you to death."

    At this moment, Zhao Liu ran over in a hurry, handed a letter, lowered the volume and said, "General, this is sent by Weiyuanhou, you can take a look."

    Tang Jiu opened the envelope and read the ten lines at a glance, the expression of surprise appeared on his tight face for many days. King Dianqian leaned over and took a look, and was also very surprised. In the letter, Weiyuan Hou not only promised to withdraw the troops, but also willing to cooperate with them in a scene to lure King Xiong into a trap and strangle him.

    "Will there be fraud?" The King of Yunnan and Qian did not want to be authentic.

    "Check if Weiyuanhou has seen anyone in recent days. His attitude has changed drastically, and it is impossible for him to be without warning. Whether there is fraud or not, this is always a chance." Tang Jiu calmly analyzed.

    The scout soon found out the news, saying that it was a graceful and beautiful woman who held a jar of wine to meet Weiyuanhou. The wine was very magical. Only the mouth of the jar was opened, and the strong aroma of the wine took the whole The camp is soaked. The two talked in secret for a while, and after the woman left, Wei Yuanhou changed his mind.

    "It's Shopkeeper Lin?" King Dianqian laughed, "Only shopkeeper Lin can make that kind of wine. The old Piff listened to Shopkeeper Lin's words. Shopkeeper Lin told him not to drink. He didn't even dare to touch the cup. Shopkeeper Lin told him to have breakfast, and he would go to his hometown restaurant to wait before dawn. I didn’t expect Shopkeeper Lin to be so understanding and righteous that he went to the border alone to persuade the old man to withdraw in times of crisis. We owed her a life. ."

    Tang Jiu's eyes flickered, like joy and sadness, and it took a long time before he said dumbly: "More than you and me, everyone in the world owes her a gratitude. In that case, I will go to Weiyuanhou in person tonight. Zhao Liu, you Send someone to bring Lin Dan back. The border crossing is too dangerous, I don't worry."

    However, after that night, Lin Dan disappeared. The war ended in the Huns' defeat. The Huns were cut off with a right arm and finally escaped to life. From then on, they feared the Central Plains like a tiger. The secret letter of the emperor colluding with the Xiongnu to sell the city was found by Tang Jiu and forced him to abdicate. Tang Peng was the first general to invade the capital. He found the harem and strangled Yan Langqing, who had fallen out of favor, alive. The body was hung from the beams of the cold palace. He waited until the decayed bones before allowing the palace people to put her down. That's where Tang Guifei was hanged.

    The Yan's Restaurant, which was once flourishing for a while, had long since turned into ruins, and Lin Lao Er and Lin Lao San had nowhere to make a living and lived extremely embarrassed. One day, when they passed by Sanchakou Hutong, they saw that the restaurant in their hometown was still open and the business was very prosperous. Tang Jiu, who had become the emperor, was sitting in the shop in casual clothes, looking through a stack of books carefully, her eyebrows enveloped. With a pleasant and longing look.

    It was a travel note written by Lin Dan, and he was asked to bring it back to the capital and gave it to Chef Qiu as a teaching material. The restaurant in his hometown was opened by Chef Qiu. She used the way of writing stories to record the wine and food she met, and her words and sentences were very vivid. Looking at these words, Tang Jiu could imagine how free and unrestrained she was. She would send a jar of fine wine to Weiyuanhou every once in a while, but it was a pity that Tang Jiuhu would always be cut off. He also tried to find her, but every night she took a step, she was like a wisp of wind, when you thought you could hold it in the palm of your hand, she slipped away along your fingers.

    Someone once asked Tang Jiuping what was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten. Tang Jiu closed his eyes and thought for a while, smiled and said, "You may not believe it, the most delicious meal I have ever eaten is a head cut. rice……"
