Chapter 124 A person’s Spring Festival

Longwei Mansion, Taipei, Yizhou.

Chen Wentian was still checking various information bamboo slips in the house.

Although the starting point has been roughly determined, he still wants to know more information. After all, any detail may have a huge impact in the future.

This kind of information is not just a matter of looking at it. In many cases, you need to use your own reasoning and judgment to reach a conclusion.

After all, the people below often only report the superficial information collected, and the extended meaning behind it can only be drawn by one's own guesses, and it may even take many pieces of information to be combined to draw a conclusion.

This will take a lot of time.

For example, after combining several pieces of information he saw yesterday, he came to a shocking conclusion through inference.

Someone from Longwei Mansion may have gone to the American continent!

The leader was Ouyang Long's fifth brother Jizhen. They marched all the way northeast from the Liaodong base, passed through the Far East of later Russia and entered near the Arctic Circle. Then they waited for the Bering Strait to freeze, and then passed through the ice in one fell swoop to reach America...

"Done? Go home? What do you mean..."

Chen Wentian walked to the door to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then walked back, lowered his voice, and selectively told Tian Kui the information he had obtained from the intelligence on various bases in Longwei Mansion.

It seems that no one in later generations did this, but it is inferred that the Indians reached the American continent from the Asian continent through the Bering Strait.

This is just one of the problems, and Chen Wentian encountered many similar problems.

Seeing that Ouyang Qi's main purpose was to return to Donglai Juxian Manor, the more Chen Wentian thought about it, the more worried Lin Lin would suffer if she met the new time traveler.

Chen Wentian changed his usual tone and said seriously and even threateningly:

Besides, naturally I wanted to see if I could get some more benefits before leaving...

It has been seven or eight days since Chen Wentian went to meet Ouyang Qi. Although a servant came to inform him of the situation, Tian Kui didn't believe it and was very worried.

Ouyang Jun still asked cutely.

Anyway, Longwei Mansion is so powerful, and leaking their plan to Wang Yue and others in advance is equivalent to weakening them...

"Yes, it's New Year's Eve! It's the Chinese New Year! My father has arranged a grand banquet to entertain important people from all over the house. You should go with me. I heard that you are deeply appreciated by my father, so this banquet is also a good time to show your face."

Not long after, Chen Wentian returned to the post house. At this time, all the talents who came on the same boat were gone, and only Tian Kui was left waiting for him.

Chen Wentian shook his head, stopped some stray thoughts, and continued to check the information.

"Brother Wentian, why are you still here? Today is New Year's Eve. Come to the banquet with me quickly!"

When Ouyang Qi was mentioned, Chen Wentian became a little annoyed.

These things are very important for his future development in the Northland.

Why is this old guy avoiding me again? He has recently sent messages to the servants in the mansion several times, asking to meet Ouyang Qi again, but when the servants came back, they all responded by saying that Ouyang Qi was too busy. I really don't understand what is happening again.

Where.

In this way, what if the ability of cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold is greatly improved, and crossing the Bering Strait becomes possible?

Chen Wentian didn't know the answer. He only knew that Ji Zhen prepared for several years before setting off, but there was still no reply. Even the Far East base closest to the Bering Strait was destroyed...

"It means that I have obtained a lot of information, and now I have a legitimate reason to return to Qingzhou..."

But at this moment Ouyang Jun pushed open the door and came in. When he saw Chen Wenzhen was there, he came to pull him out with great interest:

With the conditions of the Han Dynasty, how could it be possible to walk in such an extremely cold environment, how to keep warm, and how to eat...

Chen Wentian made up an excuse and started to shirk it. He didn't want to have too much involvement with the people in Longwei Mansion, he just wanted to go home.

In addition, he felt that Ouyang Qi probably wouldn't want him to appear at today's banquet. If he went there, he might misunderstand him...

However, when he saw another piece of news, he realized that this plan seemed to be successful, that is, Ouyang Long had already obtained cotton seeds during his expedition to the Western Regions and successfully planted them in the Liaodong base.

"Now go tell Marquis Long Wei if you have any ideas, we can discuss them face to face. If the Marquis avoids you again, Wentian will leave on his own."

But now that I am gone, his son Ouyang Jun is here. Seeing how Ouyang Jun continues to invite him to the banquet, Chen Wentian knows that he is not appointed by Ouyang Qi.

These situations must be reported as soon as possible...

Seeing Chen Wentian entering the door, Tian Kui stood up and asked:

————

This... Chen Wentian felt incredible when he first saw the news. Senior Ouyang's imagination must be too big!

This moment shocked Tian Kui, who was usually very steady. He neither expected that Chen Wentian could obtain so much important information, nor that Longwei Mansion would have such a huge foundation lurking around the Han Dynasty.

"Brother, I don't know, but I have been assigned a secret mission by the lord. Now I am not allowed to see anyone at will."

"Ah!? What mission? Why didn't I know?"

Seeing Ouyang Jun leaving somewhat depressed, Chen Wentian called the servant who usually served him and said:

"Are you okay? Why have you been gone for so long?"

But the environment at that time should be very different from that of the Han Dynasty. Chen Wentian actually didn't know if it would work. He just thought that this plan was so shocking that someone actually implemented it!

However, he did not dwell on the answers to these questions, he just made some general inferences. What really made him feel more important was that when he met Ouyang Qi again, he must find a reason to ask him for cotton and pepper seeds to take back...

"Besides, I have to go back to the inn. You can help me prepare the car."

"Ah? New Year's Eve? What kind of banquet are you going to..."

Of course, Chen Wentian also wants seeds for peppers, rubber, corn, potatoes, etc., but these are all in America, and Longwei Mansion doesn't have them either...

"This...if brother doesn't know, then go ask the lord. Wentian really can't tell, so please forgive me..."

After seeing that Tian Kui understood his plan, Chen Wentian said that he had to go to the market to do some business, so he refused Tian Kui and followed someone out of the post house.

"It's okay. I just spent a lot of trouble to gain the trust of old thief Ouyang. Fortunately, it's done now and we can go home soon."

Walking on the road, seeing strangers who had gone out to celebrate the New Year, Chen Wentian's tense nerves for many days finally relaxed a little.

After explaining to Tian Kui for a long time, Chen Wen just felt the gap between them. After all, he was Wang Yue's subordinate and he was not on the same journey as him.

Since today is the Spring Festival, Chen Wentian thought it would be simpler and give himself a holiday.

Go to the market alone, guess lantern riddles, watch performances, think about the people you miss, and think about your future days in the Han Dynasty...
