In the courtyard at dusk, there was smoke, and Song Wentong and Chen Bing finally did not resist the temptation, and one of them lit a Mustang brand tea cigarette and smoked it. In addition to the fact that the two of them were a little uncomfortable at first, they choked too hard and turned red, and finally realized this novel way of eating tea.

Chen Lun took a deep breath, the cigarette butt flashed with red light, a puff of smoke in his mouth, he swallowed a few times in his mouth, and then opened his mouth to spew, the white smoke formed a ring in the air, gently drifting, that chic appearance, so that Chen Bing and Song Wentong couldn't help but feel a trace of envy. This little rabbit cub can indeed play. Song Wentong also tried to vomit a few smoke rings, but he didn't succeed once, but he only provoked Chen Lun to laugh proudly on the side, which made him feel annoyed and ashamed.

A cigarette was quickly smoked, and it wasn't until his hands were hot that Song Wentong threw down the cigarette butt and stepped on it with his foot. A feeling of relief rose in his heart, and he felt exhausted and energetic. I have to admit that this tea smoke is more refreshing than boiling tea and making tea.

Chen Bing also felt like this, after the two of them reminisced for a long time, they decisively confiscated Chen Lun's remaining half pack of Mustang cards, which provoked Chen Lun to jump to his feet in a hurry, this pack of cigarettes was finally obtained from the team leader, and he also ran a lot of legs for the team leader, he was reluctant to smoke it himself, but he just put it on his body to show off. Who knew that Lu Dao was too showing, and the most ruthless was ruthlessly confiscated. He wanted to recapture it, but in the face of Song Wentong and his father's unreasonableness, he was helplessly suppressed.

"Who invented this tea cigarette, it's really powerful, I guess I made a fortune, right?" Song Wentong had already lit the third Mustang tea cigarette. Half-closed eyes swallow clouds and mist.

Chen Lun finally asked for a cigarette. Squatting there and nodding, "Hmm." It is said that this tea tobacco was invented by His Royal Highness King Qin, and now it is handed over to Mrs. Xiao to take care of, and a cigarette factory has been specially built, which is a monopoly operation, except for them, no one else has a formula. The business of this cigarette factory is really good, and now it is basically in short supply, so I heard that the first thing to do is to ensure that it is exported overseas. Then there will be a small part of the quota for Datang to supply all parts of the country. We, the Marine Corps, are all proposing, and we hope that this tea and cigarette will be included in the distribution of military supplies in the army in the future. ”

"It's just that this tea tobacco has to use tea, this tea was originally a franchise, and the output is limited, no matter how good the tea tobacco business is, it is difficult to get a scale." Ah Bing said.

Chen Lun shook his head, he always liked to refute his father. "There is more than one kind of smoke, there is the highest grade of tea smoke, called cigars, which uses the finest tea. Then dozens of precious medicinal herbs are added to make it, which is thicker than a finger. The production process is also quite complicated, but when you smoke it, it is much more refreshing than ordinary Mustang tea. However, the production of this cigar is even lower, and I heard that now in the Qin Domain, only officials with more than three grades can supply it. Then the next thing is the kind of tea smoke we smoke now, mainly tea, as well as ingredients such as honeysuckle, which are divided into different prices according to the value of tea, such as Mustang brand, which is just ordinary tea smoke. After the tea cigarette, there is a slightly more popular, that is, cigarettes, this kind of cigarettes do not use precious tea as materials, but use mugwort leaves, lotus flavor and many other relatively common herbs as materials, this is called cigarettes, and the price is quite cheaper. ”

After Song Wentong took the first puff, he was already a little obsessed with the taste and feeling. It's not just the taste, but it's also the feeling of spitting clouds, which makes you intoxicated.

"Brother Guangming, Aaron wants to go to Ryukyu, I don't think it's a bad thing, young people, have momentum, have blood, let him break through, this is a rich wealth, don't tie them too much. I am optimistic about Aaron, and he will definitely be very successful in the future, and his achievements will far surpass you and mine. ”

Chen Bing glanced at his son, took two more puffs of cigarette, and said slowly: "I'm just worried that he has no experience, so he is in such a hurry to get out, and he is still so far away, I'm afraid that he is only three minutes hot." Before he arrived in the Ryukyus, he changed his mind and didn't want to go, so he couldn't help it. I think this may be an opportunity for him, but he has to think about it and make sure that this is the life he wants. If he really wants this kind of life, I, as a father, will never stop him. ”

His elbows rested on the armrests on either side of the chair, one foot resting neatly on the other, and he was still talking as before. Although Chen Bing himself is only a small officer, he can be regarded as having been up and down in the army of the feudal town for most of his life, and his life experience is undoubtedly much richer and more mature than that of his young son. As he spoke, he drank a cold wine and smoked a cigarette in his hand, and in a few moments he had already drunk two glasses of cold wine and smoked three cigarettes.

Later, Song Wentong began to ask him about the situation in Chang'an and asked him some superficial questions about the mission. Chen Bing suddenly sat up straight, stretched out his bent fingers when he made gestures, his tone became very firm, and his eyes were very sharp.

"The Yellow Nest is going to be finished!" He said, "Huangchao is already like a grasshopper after autumn, and it looks like it can't jump for a few days." After the Yellow Nest is finished, the Son of Heaven will inevitably return to Beijing. I believe you also know that the Son of Heaven does not have a good attitude towards the King of Qin and our Qin Fan now, in the past, the Son of Heaven was in Chengdu, and Chang'an was occupied by Huangchao, so no matter what he thinks of us, it doesn't matter. But now it's different, as soon as the Yellow Nest is extinguished and the Son of Heaven returns to Beijing, the prestige of the court and the Son of Heaven will inevitably have an upward reply. The Son of Heaven is still young, and no one knows if Lu Dao will burst into self-confidence at that time, thinking that he has mastered the world again. If he thinks like this, it is dangerous not only for him, but also for us. Although we are not afraid of anyone, it will still be very troublesome if the little emperor really makes us an enemy regardless of the consequences. Therefore, now we are going to Chang'an, to try our best to collect the attitudes of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court and those ministers who returned to Beijing, and to collect all the information. At the same time, we also have to be responsible for co-opting the ministers and families, and half of them are drawn to our side. Especially in this Huangchao Rebellion, those ministers in the court have suffered a lot of losses, if we can bring rich gifts at this time, and then with the prestige of King Qin now. and the strength of our Qin Domain. It will definitely be able to pull a lot of wavering people. ”

"Huang Chao is really a fucking useless person." Chen Bing said. straightened his two elbows, dragged his chin with a scrubbed clean hand, and pulled the other casually, "Although he has made a lot of noise in the past few years, connecting Luoyang and Chang'an, but he is actually getting more and more regressive, and he is completely dizzy at the end." If he could be smarter, he would have occupied the territory of Luoyang and Chang'an dozens of states. He could have held out much longer. In that way, our Qin Fan can also have more time for development. But now, this damned salt dealer is about to perish in a short time. It doesn't matter if he dies, but as soon as he dies, the biggest opponent of the court at the moment will be gone. This is bad news for us. As soon as Huang Chao dies, there will definitely be a lot of guys who will focus on us. Now in the entire Tang Dynasty, what we Qin Fan needs is time. Therefore, we need a target to block these arrows and attract attention. The Son of Heaven is a great reality that must be faced. Zhengchen, the Son of Heaven doesn't like us, and can even be said to resent us. Now the intelligence shows that the Son of Heaven doesn't even trust Tian Lingzi anymore, he began to believe in Yang Fugong and Yang Fuguang brothers, Yang Fuguang was in Luoyang some time ago, and accepted eight godsons in a row, do you know who these eight people are? ”

"I know the way!" Alun hurriedly said, "Li Keyong, Li Quanzhong, Zhu Quanzhong, Zhuge Shuang, Qin Zongquan, Wang Chongrong, Lu Yanhong, Zhou Qi!" The marshals of the feudal towns in the area between Chang'an and Luoyang have almost all become Yang Fuguang's godsons. Even Li Ke used such a guy to worship Yang Fuguang for a righteous death, and it can be seen that Yang Fuguang is not simple. ”

"That's right, look at these people, Li Keyong has always been against us, and now that we have just taken away the foundation of his hometown, how can he give up with us. There is also that Li Quanzhong, he was driven out of Lu by us from Hebei, how can he not hold a grudge, Zhu Quanzhong, whose original name is Zhu Wen, is a deserter and traitor who came out of Lu here, and he will not get along with us peacefully. The rest of them have nothing to do with us. Yang Fuguang gathered such a group of people, and its significance can be said to be obvious, and it is clear that he wants to deal with us. Through the Yang Fuguang brothers, the Son of Heaven has already raised a coalition army, and if they take more time, they can still gather more people. This is not good for us, but it can be seen that the Yang brothers were affected by Pang, and Tian Lingzi was obviously left out. We have intelligence that Tian Lingzi has a very stiff relationship with the Son of Heaven now, and if we go to Chang'an, we can actually try to cooperate with this dead eunuch. ”

"Cooperate with Tian Lingzi? He had assassinated the King of Qin in the first place. Song Wentong exclaimed.

"Yes, but we are only working together temporarily, first joining forces to deal with the common enemy, and then, of course, we will go our separate ways."

Song Wentong got up and went to get some ice and wine, and Alun asked a few questions about Huangchao and the soldiers and horses of Zhuzhen. Ah Bing told his son that the so-called alliance of Zhuzhen was actually just a loose alliance. When Huang Chao was defeated, they were naturally willing to fall into the well and beat the water dogs. But if it is said that they have really become the loyal ministers of Li Tang Tianzi, it is not true. By now, almost all of the feudal towns have become divided feudal towns, and most of the feudal town commanders were not directly appointed by the Son of Heaven, but came to power through mutiny and other means. They have superficial respect for the Son of Heaven, but in fact, this respect is also limited. Under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, he was unwilling to die for the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty. In the towns, even if they are Li Keyong, Zhu Quanzhong, and Li Quanzhong, they are united, but they are only using the banner of Tang Ting to fight against us, and they are not really loyal to Li Yi. We actually have to be wary of these guys joining forces, but there's no need to worry too much about it. If the Son of Heaven declares war on us, there will definitely not be many feudal towns that are really willing to completely side with the Son of Heaven and send troops against us. However, if we lose the situation, there will be no shortage of people who fall into the ground. Therefore, the most important thing we need is to stay strong. “

"Is it true that the rumor that King Qin is ready to completely stop using troops in the Guannai, and is ready to use three or five years to absorb the expansion of the past few years and stabilize the fundamentals?"

After Ah Bing, who was sitting straight, drank another glass of wine, his waist was bent over, and he talked a lot, and he talked endlessly about some of the "insider" news he knew, and talked about his judgment of the situation today, if it weren't for the badge on the chest of his military uniform that showed that his lieutenant was just a low-level military attache from the seventh grade, others would think that he was an envoy of the General Staff, who was directing the country and flying high.

He smiled at Song Wendao, going to Chang'an would not be so dangerous, in fact, it would be a very easy job. Because they will stay in Chang'an as an official of the Qin Domain's Jinju Yuan in Beijing, even if the Son of Heaven is dissatisfied with the King of Qin and the Qin Domain, they will be very safe in Chang'an. In Chang'an City, maybe they just need to go to some parties every day, visit some targets, drink wine, make tea, chat, or even play ball, and collect intelligence by the way.

"I'm telling you, Zhengchen, you're going to like this job. The special agents of the Military Intelligence Agency will have an upright identity cover. He looked at Song Wentong and then at his son, with a smile on his face, "And I promise you, in a year or three months, we will come back, and at that time, your official rank will rise by one or two steps." ”

Song Wentong said with a wry smile: "Actually, I want to stay in the army even more, war horses and spears, charging into battle, how refreshing and exciting, I feel my blood boiling when I think about it." Brother Guangming, tell me, what is a person like you doing spy work all the time? ”

"Blame me for doing this job too well." Ah Bing complained and said, "You know that when Lu Dao first joined the Qin army, I was arranged to be a spy because I knew how to tell fortunes, and I used fortune-telling as a cover. The first job was brilliant, and then I've been doing it ever since. ”

"Damn, you are indeed doing this piece of material, last time in Yanmen, Lao Tzu was completely deceived by you, I really thought you were a fortune teller old blind man. Especially your face, with your eyes squinted, is like a blind man. ”

"After the triumph, I was promoted three levels in a row, and I was not happy for two days, but I was promoted by two levels, followed by an order to let me go to Chang'an." Ah Bing said, and it was impossible to tell whether it was pride or loss in his tone.

"You can not go!"

"But the director said that if we can complete the task, maybe we can be promoted to two or three levels when we come back, damn it, there is no way, do it."

Song Wentong's eyes also flashed with a scorching heat, yes, where is there such a promotion opportunity, although it seems that the task is a little dangerous, but it is indeed worth gritting his teeth and stomping his feet to take the task.

"It's done!" (To be continued......)
