Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, the mountain man has a clever plan!"
Hong Chengchou looked at Mu Linfeng and didn't understand what kind of medicine Mu Linfeng was selling in the gourd, but he still felt that it was very risky and said quickly: "Mu Shuai, have you thought it through? If this is true, the whole city will be distracted and the enemy will be in disarray.
The army has not yet attacked the city, but our city has already collapsed!"
Mu Linfeng knew that he would not understand the truth unless he explained it clearly to Hong Chengchou, so he immediately told Hong Chengchou that there was still food and grass in the city. Hong Chengchou was shocked and obviously didn't believe it.
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Mu didn't believe it at first, but Zilong's talents in agriculture are immeasurable to you and me. I believe in Zilong!"
Hong Chengchou said: "Mu Shuai, you have to know how difficult it is to temporarily collect food from the people. Hong is afraid that Zilong is afraid that Mu Shuai will blame him if you blame him for not being able to collect food, so he
…”
Mu Linfeng immediately said: "Zilong will definitely not do such a big thing, how many heads does he have!"
Mu Linfeng saw that Hong Chengchou's face still looked a little doubtful, and then sighed: "Mu didn't see this with his own eyes, so let's go to the grain depot with Mr. Mu to check it out!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Chengchou immediately smiled and said: "Of course this is the best!"
As Mu Linfeng and Hong Chengchou went to the granary to check, Tokugawa Ie also came out of the back hall and followed Mu Linfeng.
When they arrived at the granary, the person guarding the granary said that Chen Zilong had gone to collect food from the people. Mu Linfeng immediately asked someone to ask Chen Zilong to find him, and at the same time, he had someone open the granary.
Mu Linfeng, Hong Chengchou, and Tokugawa Ie went into the granary to check, but found that there was indeed not a grain of grain in the granary. However, when the soldiers guarding the granary were asked if there were other granaries, everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Mu Linfeng thought, it seems that we really have to wait for Chen Zilong to come before we can find out. Tokugawa Iehui asked Mu Linfeng at the side: "Husband, is the underground warehouse that Chen Zilong said not here? If it is really here, the enemy
The army may also find out!"
Mu Linfeng pondered for a long time and said nothing. Hong Chengchou, who was standing aside, agreed with Tokugawa Ie's words and said, "Madam is right. The enemy must have carefully searched such an important place as the granary. How could they find nothing?"
At this moment, Chen Zilong returned to the granary, saluted Mu Linfeng, Tokugawa Iehui and Hong Chengchou respectively, and then said: "It seems that Mu Shuai does not believe Zilong and came here to check!"
Mu Linfeng laughed hurriedly and said: "How could Mu not believe in Zilong? But the marching formation must not be careless. It is said that knowing oneself and the enemy will lead to a hundred battles. If Mu does not know how much food and grass he has, how can he plan this battle?"
When Chen Zilong heard this, he quickly smiled and said: "That's it, that's it... you three, please come over here!" As he said that, he led Mu Linfeng, Tokugawa Jiehui and Hong Chengchou into a grain warehouse in the innermost room.
Hong Chengchou followed behind and secretly admired Mu Linfeng. What he said just now was so impeccable that it did not disgrace Chen Zilong, and he also found the most high-sounding reason for himself to come to check the food and grass.
After arriving at the innermost granary, Chen Zilong closed the door of the granary. Mu Linfeng saw that this granary was no different from other granaries. There were only two storage racks stacked with grain and nothing else.
Chen Zilong once said that the food was hidden in the tunnels, so everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to the ground. Could it be that there was something special about this ground? Who knew that Chen Zilong walked to the end of the wall, and then rushed with a bamboo pole?
He poked at the beam, and a rope immediately fell from the beam. Chen Zilong then turned around and said: "Mu Shuai, please go up to the beam!"
Mu Linfeng and others had already felt a little strange when they saw Chen Zilong's behavior just now. How could the tunnel be on the beam? Now that Chen Zilong asked Mu Linfeng to go up to the beam, they couldn't help but feel even more strange. Mu Linfeng knew that as long as he went up to the beam, the answer would be immediate.
Knowing this, he immediately grabbed the rope and climbed to the roof beam.
***Mu Linfeng stood on the beam and immediately had a panoramic view of the entire grain depot. However, he found that there was nothing strange on the beam. Before Mu Linfeng could tell, Chen Zilong said: "Mu Shuai, please face this wall to the south.
look!"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he immediately turned around and saw that there was nothing weird about the wall, but Chen Zilong said again: "Mu Shuai, please go over a little bit and take a look."
Mu Linfeng followed Chen Zilong's words and slowly approached the south wall along the beams. Only then did he realize that the south wall was a double-sided wall. There were two walls. The two walls were very close to each other. It was impossible to get under the house.
If you can see some clues, even if you go up to the roof, as long as you don't look carefully, you won't find any problems.
There was only one gap between the two walls that could only accommodate one person. Chen Zilong immediately said: "There is a rope next to it. Please Mu Shuai go down and take a look!"
Mu Linfeng immediately grabbed the rope and slid into the gap. The gap was very small and it was very difficult to turn around. However, Chen Zilong said: "Mu Shuai, please look to the east to see if there is a torch.
, you turn it around!"
When Mu Linfeng heard the words, he immediately followed the instructions. He heard a rumble, and the wall in front of him immediately moved towards the north. Mu Linfeng felt that the space he was in was getting bigger and bigger, and then the wall was divided into two parts, one towards the east and the west.
Go, and suddenly a stone step appears on the ground, leading directly to the tunnel.
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but secretly sigh that the mechanism technology of ancient people was really amazing. Even the high-tech warehouses of the 21st century may not have such a design.
Tokugawa Iehui and Hong Chengchou were also stunned when they saw it, but Chen Zilong said: "This is where the tunnel is. It was designed with the help of a friend in the Fushe."
Mu Linfeng quickly smiled and said: "There are many real talents in this Fushe, and there are all kinds of talents!"
Chen Zilong quickly led Mu Linfeng, Tokugawa Ie, and Hong Chengchou down into the tunnel together. The tunnel suddenly turned out to be an underground palace, which was very spacious. Mu Linfeng suddenly remembered that the Fushe headquarters in Yangzhou was also underground.
The same is true. It seems that this is indeed Fushe's consistent style.
Although this underground palace is similar to the Fushe underground headquarters in Yangzhou, it is not as exquisite as the one in Yangzhou. Maybe it is an underground warehouse for storing food after all, so it is inevitable to cut corners in construction, not to mention that there is no need to build the underground palace in Yangzhou.
Like that.
There were hundreds of hoards everywhere in the palace. The fragrance of grain and grass was everywhere in the palace. Chen Zilong opened one at random and showed it to Mu Linfeng and the other three people: "Now, Mu Shuai is more knowledgeable about this battle."
Got the information?"
Mu Linfeng hurriedly patted Chen Zilong on the shoulder and said, "If you win this battle, Zilong, you should take credit!"
Hong Chengchou's face suddenly looked much better. At this time, he hurriedly said to Chen Zilong: "Zilong, don't blame Mu Shuai in your heart. Mu Shuai has always believed in you and refused to come to check on you. It's all Hong Chengchou's fault."
I felt unsure, so I forced Mu Shuai and Hong Mou to come and check it out. If you have any grievances, you must not vent them on Mu Shuai, just go for Hong Mou!"
Chen Zilong laughed when he heard this and said: "Master Hong, what are you talking about? You and I are all Mu Shuai's ministers, and it should be like this! Zilong was negligent at first, and he should have brought Mu Shuai to see it immediately!"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "You two don't need to be so polite! After the war is over, Zilong, just give Master Hong a banquet!"
The three of them laughed when they heard this, but heard Chen Zilong say: "Master Hong cannot escape from this drink, but it is not an apology drink, nor a celebration drink!"
Mu Linfeng and Hong Chengchou both wondered: "Oh? What kind of wine is that?"
Chen Zilong smiled and said: "Huai'an's agricultural reform is gradually on track. Zilong may have to say goodbye to Mr. Hong when the war is over!"
Hong Chengchou raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Oh, it's practicing wine. This is of course indispensable. But Zilong, you and I have been getting along for a while in Huai'an. If you want to leave, Hong is really a little worried."
I can’t bear to part with it!”
Mu Linfeng said with a smile: "Zilong puts his career first, Lord Hong should be happy for him. Zilong is right. Nowadays, everything is waiting for improvement. If Mu can get a talent like Xiang Zilong, it is truly a gift from God.
! Zilong, after the matter in Huai'an is over, you don't need to go to Luzhou and Fengyang. You should train a group of students who are knowledgeable about agriculture as soon as possible to share your burden. Besides, I will go south in the future. You
The burden will become heavier and heavier, so you have to take care of yourself!"
Chen Zilong heard this and said quickly: "What Mu Shuai said is absolutely true, but I have been too busy in Huai'an recently. I can only slowly look for talents after going to Fengyang!"
Mu Linfeng then exchanged greetings with a few people in the tunnel before returning to the ground. After Chen Zilong used a mechanism to seal the tunnel, Mu Linfeng said to Hong Chengchou: "Now Mr. Hong, you can rest assured. You should go and give the order."
