It’s raining outside, but it can’t stop Chen Zhaochang’s eager heart.

He urged Wu Luzhen to go to Zhao Chuanxin even if it rains.

Before, he didn't agree that he was the one cooperating with the important criminal wanted by the court, but now he is the one who is anxious.

The spring rain is lingering in the sky. It doesn't look crisp at all, but the rain is actually quite heavy.

The sharp wings of the swallows cut through the rain curtain, revealing the buds of willow-leaf and hydrangeas sprouting wildly by the roadside.

Wu Luzhen was wearing a raincoat and leading her entourage to inquire.

The camp of the Betrayal Army should have been kept secret.

You can go out for training or shopping, and it’s impossible for some news to leak out.

When the local people learned about such a non-official and non-bandit team, they gave the location of the rebel army a name - Laoyinggou.

Except for areas with ethnic characteristics, place names outside the customs are all given casually.

For example, in Jilin, the place names come out of the mouth and are expressed directly with numbers, such as several ditches, forks, rivers and so on.

Laoyinggou is a place that requires a little more care. There are also Yingyinggou, Yezhugou, Heixiazigou, etc., which can get confused if you don’t pay attention.

Wu Luzhen went into the mountain in the rain and trudged and struggled in the mud for a long time before she finally saw the outline of the Beishui Army camp from a distance.

Looking far into the distance under the rain, I looked around and saw that there were mostly rolling hills with soft lines and gentle terrain. But the way in was very deep. If there was an enemy attack, there was only one way to attack.

But the troops carrying the water can flee in all directions, or choose a road up the mountain without difficulty. They can even push the field artillery up the mountain and launch it from a distance.

Wu Luzhen lamented: The local selection is really a thief!

After winding up and down mountains and passing through tunnels, Wu Luzhen finally arrived at the outskirts of the camp.

A hidden whistleblower discovered him. Perhaps seeing that there were only two of them, he showed up with a gun and asked: "Who is it?"

"Go and report to Captain Zhao, Captain Zhao, and tell him that Wu Luzhen came to see him."

The secret sentry of the backwater army took out his binoculars and looked behind Wu Luzhen. When he found that no one was there, he said, "Come with me."

He took oil paper, covered the important parts of the gun to prevent it from rusting, and led the two of them into the camp.

There is a pavilion on the training ground. The pavilion is very large and can accommodate four to five hundred people.

Because of the rain, all the soldiers of the Backwater Army rested here to take shelter from the rain.

When Wu Luzhen arrived, he saw a group of rebel soldiers surrounding Zhao Chuanxin in the center with support, while smoke was rising from the ground beside Zhao Chuanxin.

There are wisps of meaty aroma, mixed with fireworks, and even the rain can't extinguish this aroma.

He walked into the shed and coughed: "Captain Zhao, Mr. Wu is here to bother you today."

Zhao Chuanxin straightened up, took a look in the middle of the crowd, and waved to Wu Luzhen: "Old Wu is here, come here quickly."

Wait for Wu Luzhen to take off her raincoat and squeeze into the crowd.

It turns out that there was a hole dug in the center of the pavilion.

There is a vat buried in the pit, and the rim of the vat is lower than the pit mouth.

On the pit, there were several logs with hooks hanging on them, and several fat geese were hung on the hooks.

There should be charcoal in the tank, and the smoke is not too big.

The skin of the goose has an oily sheen, and it shines brightly even on rainy days. It is a burnt color and the color is very attractive.

If grease occasionally falls onto the charcoal in the vat, it will ignite a flame like a bud emerging from the earth in spring.

Those oil fumes are mainly caused by this.

A group of soldiers who were backing the water army stared greedily at the big vat with their Adam's apple rolling.

"Captain Zhao, what are you..."

Zhao Chuanxin said happily: "No, I promised them a few days ago that as long as they train well, I will take them to eat delicious food if it rains."

"Oh, Captain Zhao really doesn't get tired of eating fine meats and fine meats. This kind of eating method has never been heard of by Wu."

"Old Wu, you are so damn lucky. Even rain can't stop you from enjoying delicious food."

"..."

Cui Fenghua recognized Wu Luzhen and had the foresight to bring him a small horse.

Wu Luzhen said thank you.

Then he asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Captain Zhao, what's the point of this?"

"Famous?" Zhao Chuanxin said with his fingers: "There are many. I learned this method from my friends in Hong Kong Island. Use cinnamon, bay leaves, nutmeg, cumin, pepper, tangerine peel, cloves, and tangerine peel.

Dry ginger, all these must be ground into powder. Add sugar, soy sauce, flour sauce, and salt, and stuff them into the goose belly. Spread maltose, rice vinegar, and wine on the outer skin. The vat is in a pit to reduce heat leakage. The vat is heated

The skin is baked evenly and crispy. This slow fire allows the flavor of the seasonings to slowly penetrate into the meat. Finally, the skin is crispy and the meat is fragrant and chewy. It tastes like a tsk..."

I am Cao!

Wu Luzhen feels like she has fucked a dog.

Why don't you explain it in such detail that it will make your mouth water?

Listen carefully, the sound of swallowing saliva around you is even louder than the sound of rain outside.

"Then, when will this be ready to bake?"

Zhao Chuanxin raised his head and looked at the vat: "It will take a while to cook the food slowly."

What a mean mouth.

Wu Luzhen said sincerely that she wouldn't have asked if she had known about it earlier. What was most painful was having to wait after asking.

After a while, he suddenly realized.

You came here with a mission, why are you just thinking about delicious food?

Captain Zhao probably knew his purpose of coming here, so he did this on purpose.

Duan is extremely treacherous!

He cleared his throat and said: "Captain Zhao, I'm here mainly for "Dadong and the Map" this time."

After going around in circles, Zhao Chuanxin still didn't escape.

"Oh, that's it."

Wu Luzhen was waiting, but nothing happened.

He was anxious: "Captain Zhao, if you don't foresee everything, it will be ruined. We have to plan ahead. That Shinoda is smarter than a monkey and extremely treacherous. What if we let him know about "Dadong and the Map" first?

If he destroyed all the original books, we would have no evidence."

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin is also very troubled.

The Qing court was weak and unreliable in diplomacy.

As long as you learn a little bit of the shamelessness of Xiao Nippon and Bangzi, or be tougher and more aggressive, you won't be controlled by others everywhere.

Little Japan was also forcibly knocked on the door of the country, but they did not always feel that they could not do anything to anyone, but instead made trouble everywhere.

Cixi was beaten twice, and she couldn't recover from her defeat.

And he can't really start a war, because the rebel army can't defeat it in an all-out war.

If the backing army is defeated, Cixi's urine will probably retreat again and again.

Besides, his main purpose is not to fight, but mainly to regain the land. It is not beautiful if the lives of people are devastated.

He said helplessly: "I don't know what you are thinking. The little devil and the stick are obviously trying to push their limits. They have transferred all the Beiyang troops outside the pass and told the little devil clearly that they will fight if they dare to come and fight to the last soldier.

Do you think he is afraid? The Russo-Japanese War has only been fought for a year or two, and they dare not really continue to launch a war."

This is indeed very Zhao Chuanxin.

Wu Luzhen sneered: "I can't decide on this matter. In addition, diplomatic matters are not that simple. Japan does not dare to provoke a war, and we do not dare to start a war. We cannot afford it for the time being. If we can fight without bloodshed, it is better not to fight."

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes.

During this time, he was actually working on an idea.

He suddenly asked: "If we take back the Jiandao area, what are you going to do with this land?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Luzhen was a little confused.

Not only him, but Xu Shichang, Chen Zhaochang, and even Cixi must have never thought about this problem.

What can be done?

Of course, just as it was in the past, so will it be in the future.

"This Jiandao area was originally land that the imperial court kindly gave to the Korean people who suffered hardships. It is estimated that this will continue to be the case in the future."

"Shit!" Zhao Chuanxin was furious: "Learning from the past, if you give them free land, they will eventually tell you that this is the boundary of South Korea. In another ten years, they will come back and slap their noses on their faces."

That's the truth.
