Chapter 5 Chapter Four Conspiracy and Action

Chen Gong's report arrived at Si Wencao of Shu State ten days later, that is, on February 24th. Although Wei and Shu are in a state of hostility, the existence of each other cannot be ignored economically.Wei State needs well salt, Shu brocade, and Shu ginger from Yizhou, while Shu State needs medicinal materials, furs, spices and handmade products from the Central Plains.Therefore, there are always small-scale traders going back and forth between the two sides of the Qinling Mountains. The border guards of the two countries turned a blind eye to this and acquiesced to this kind of business exchanges.

The intelligence agents of the Shu State were mixed among such a group of merchants. They went all the way south from Shangyu, crossed the Qinling Mountains via Lucheng, Qishanbao, and Qingfeng, and then turned to Wujie in the southeast direction, where they crossed the Xihan River and entered the Qinling Mountains. The area actually controlled by the Shu army.Here, Chen Gong's report was handed over to the special post envoy, and sent to the core agency of Shu's intelligence work-Nanzheng Si Wencao as quickly as possible. The first person to come into contact with this document was Si Wencao's deputy director, Feng Ying.After reading the document, he picked up the copper buckle and knocked on the edge of the incense burner, and the incense burner made two crisp knocking sounds.The guard outside the door immediately opened the door and came in, asking him what he wanted.

"Well, immediately inform Yao Caoxuan, Yin Ji of the Siwen Division, Ma Xin, Xun Xu of the Jing'an Division, oh, yes, and Hu Zhong, the Military Advisor. Tell them to rush to the Taoist temple to discuss the matter immediately." "Understood." "Remember to notify verbally, not in writing. Tell them that this is an urgent call." "yes." The guard turned and walked out.Feng Ying rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and let out a long breath.He tidied up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the case table, poured the half-drunk tea into the stove, and then left the residence with Chen Gong's report and went to the "Taoist Temple".

The official name of the "Taoist Temple" is Siwencao Deputy Secretary. It is located in a wealthy family's residence in the east of Nanzheng City. It is backed by green hills and there is a clear stream on the side of the house.Because this house used to be a sacrificial hall of the Five Dou Rice Sect, it is customary for everyone to call the deputy director "Taoist temple", and the staff of the deputy director are called "Taoist priests"-on many occasions, this has almost become a Formal title. Theoretically speaking, Si Wencao belonged to Shangshutai, so its principal department was located in Chengdu.But everyone knew in their hearts that the so-called "Siwen Cao Zhengsi" was just a social organization, and most of the time the people in the Zhengsi were just trying to appease the curious court bureaucrats.It is the deputy director based in Nanzheng who really plays a role.

After Feng Ying came to the deputy director, he went straight to the conference hall. This conference hall was a stone room dug out of the back mountain of the "Taoist Temple". There were no windows. As long as the stone door was closed, no outsiders could overhear the conversation inside. "This time, it looks like something big will happen." Feng Ying walked into the conference hall, looked at the five empty desks in front of him, thought with worry, and felt very excited at the same time.This forty-year-old intelligence bureaucrat has a wide and flat forehead, which according to fortune tellers is the character of Fu Lu.Now he has almost reached a crossroads in his life. The official rank of Deputy Chief Siwen Cao is two hundred shi, which is an important threshold for the bureaucrats of the Shu Kingdom. There is a lot of space; if it fails, I am afraid that I can only stay in this position for the rest of my life.

For this reason, on the one hand, Feng Ying hoped that there would be a big event so that he could accumulate meritorious service, but on the other hand, he prayed that nothing would go wrong.Fortunately—or unfortunately—the intelligence system is not short of big events or big troubles.For this reason, he can only be cautious and cautious. He didn't wait long, and soon the participants appeared in the stone room one after another. All present today are senior officials of the intelligence services.The first one to arrive was Si Wen Si Si Cheng Yin Ji, a long-bearded old man with graying hair. Although he was short in stature, he acted vigorously like a young man.The Siwen Division he is in charge of is the most important department in Siwen Cao. All the intelligence activities of the Kingdom of Shu abroad are planned and executed by the Siwen Division. Practical work such as rear support is also the responsibility of the Department of Information.Due to the special status of the Longxi area in the intelligence war, Ma Xin, the director of the Yongliang branch in charge of Longxi affairs, also appeared together with the Yin series.

The next thing that appeared was Engaged Hu Zhong of the Military Counselor.This is the department that Feng Ying himself is in charge of, mainly to compare, discriminate, and analyze the information obtained.This department is not as thrilling as the work of the Department of Information, and it can even be said to be boring. What is required of its members is not courage, but keen observation and careful thinking.These two advantages can be reflected in the young Hu Zhong, whose excellent ability to analyze data has even been appreciated by Prime Minister Zhuge. Following Hu Zhong was Xun Xu, the director of Jing'an Division. As soon as he entered the door, he clasped his fists at the people present, and then happily sat next to Hu Zhong.Wang Quan, Si Cheng of the Jing'an Division, had just passed away due to illness, and the new appointment had not yet been made, so Xun Xu, who was in charge, had to attend.The Siwen Division is mainly external, while the Jing'an Division is internal. Internal affairs and security are the biggest issues of this division.It stands to reason that the person in charge of this organization should be a strong leader, but the current top person in charge, Xun Xu, is an easy-going optimist. Although he has good abilities, Feng Ying has always doubted whether he is qualified for the job of offending his own people. .

After they all sat down, Si Wencao's highest officer, Yao You, walked into the stone room with square steps.This old man has ruled Si Wencao for five years. Behind his fat figure is a cold and strict legalist disciple.Under his rule, the human touch and romanticism of the entire Si Wencao were basically drained, leaving only ruthless efficiency-but this is not necessarily a bad thing for the intelligence department. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Feng Ying coughed, nodded and asked the guards to close the stone gate from the outside. "Everyone, I'm calling you here this time because I just received a report from Shangyu." Feng Ying said while distributing the transcript of the report to five people, "If this report is true , I think we are facing a big crisis right now."

None of the five people answered immediately, they buried themselves in Chen Gong's report carefully.After about one stick of incense, everyone raised their heads, indicating that they had finished watching, and everyone showed uneasy and puzzled expressions on their faces. "Is the source of this report reliable?" Yao You frowned and asked, it was obvious that he cared. Feng Ying replied: "Reliable, this is from our spy Heidi lurking in Tianshui." Ma Xin, who was in charge of Longxi affairs, immediately added: "Heidi is one of our best spies. Whether it is hard intelligence or soft intelligence, the quality of things is quite high, and the analysis is also very accurate."

"If I were in his position, I would come to the same conclusion as him." Hu Zhong said slowly, and at the same time pinched the bridge of his nose habitually with his right hand, which is the sequelae of excessive eye use for a long time. "Since the source is reliable, it means that the State of Wei will send a group of spies to sneak into our country to steal the crossbow technology..." Yao You tapped his fingers on the desk table slowly, making a muddy thud in the narrow stone room Boom.This is not good news. Feng Ying nodded and continued: "Ma Jun's transfer order is on February 10th, and the construction of the military workshop in Jicheng will start no later than January 20th. Considering the speed of document transmission by Wei Guo's posthorse and the speed of transmission of documents in Guanzhong and Longxi The geographical distance between them, then the entire theft plan should have started around January 10."

"Doesn't that mean..." Yin Ji leaned forward anxiously. "Yes, that or that group of Wei spies may have sneaked into our country and started their activities." Feng Ying paused, and added: "If we are not lucky enough, maybe they have succeeded and are returning. Maybe on the road to Tianshui." Feng Ying talked eloquently, he deliberately estimated the situation to be more serious than it actually was.So everyone in the room immediately focused their attention on Xun Xu, who was in charge of counter-espionage work. Xun Xu scratched his head, put down the transcript in his hand, and said, "I don't think it's possible. Our Jing'an Division's monitoring in Hanzhong is quite strict. Moreover, the craftsmen responsible for making the crossbow machine and the drawings of the crossbow machine are all under the strict control of the military. Even if Wei's spies set off from Yecheng in mid-January, it would be late February to reach Nanzheng at the fastest speed. It would be very difficult for him to gain a foothold in such a short period of time, let alone break through our protection. Steal the ballista technology." "Then what's your opinion?" Yao You narrowed his eyes to see Feng Ying's expression, then turned to Xun Xu and asked. "My judgment is that Wei Guo's spies should have just entered our country and are at the stage of gaining a foothold. I think we should be able to take this opportunity to find him or them." Xun Xu replied without hesitation, and then Turning to Yin Ji and Ma Xin, "If you people in Longxi can go deep into the Wei army to find out the details of this plan..." "Stop joking!" Yin Ji interrupted Xun Xu's dissatisfaction. "We have already lost a valuable spy. This is an irreparable loss. My people cannot be allowed to take this risk. If something goes wrong, the Longxi area will become an intelligence blind spot for our army." Xun Xu wanted to argue again, Yin Ji nodded his head, and said in the tone of an elder teaching a junior: "Don't forget the three counties." When the people present heard this sentence, they all fell into silence. Grammatically, the three counties are just ordinary quantifiers and administrative quantifiers, but to Si Wencao, these two words mean something more.A year ago, Prime Minister Zhuge launched a military attack on Wei for the first time.At that time, Si Wencao's supervisor was Ma Di, who joined the army.Before the military attack, Si Wencao had achieved a great victory in the intelligence war. After careful and meticulous secret work, they successfully instigated the prefects of the three counties of Wei State, and sent the main army of Cao Jun to Xiegu through false information. Let the whole battle situation change.The Longxi area that originally belonged to the territory of Wei State became the home field of the Shu Army overnight. Ironically, when the official battle started, it was Ma Su who caused the collapse of the entire Northern Expedition.This time, it was not only the failure of the military operation, but also the destruction of the intelligence network of the Shu Kingdom.When the three counties were in any case, out of the mentality of showing off or eager for success, Ma Di violated the iron law of low-key intelligence work and ordered the local intelligence personnel to act blatantly and high-profile, and the scale of mobilization was very large. In the words of intelligence personnel, "It was simply an open armed parade by secret intelligence personnel." This move cannot be said to have no effect at all. It did show the strength of the Shu army to the targets of the rebellion, forcing them to make a choice.But when the military failed, these people who ran to the sun to be active had no time to retreat into the darkness. Many were arrested and died in prison; Loss, because these high-ranking traitors have a lot of important information-but what can be demanded of these abandoned people? ——Only a small number of people retreated back to Hanzhong in time. This loss was huge. Until now, Si Wencao's intelligence capabilities in the Longxi area had not recovered to the pre-war level. Therefore, for Si Wencao, the three counties are not only a glorious feat, but also a bitter memory.This incident will not be mentioned on people's lips, but everyone in Siwencao regards it as an unforgettable experience. "That's right, we can't take this risk." Yao You made a conclusion, so Xun Xu shut up angrily.Everyone in the conference room fell into silence, and this silence was finally broken by Hu Zhong. He shook the paper in his hand, and said slowly as he usually analyzes intelligence in the Military Advisory Division: "There are two ways to steal the crossbow technology. One is to get the design drawings or the actual crossbow; the other is to kidnap or bribe the craftsmen to return to Longxi. The second way is too difficult. Judging from the fact that Wei Jun dispatched Ma Jun Therefore, Wei Jun may directly target the crossbow machine blueprint or real object, and hand it over to Ma Jun to analyze and copy it after he gets it." "As for the real thing, it depends on the size of the crossbow machine they want to steal. What kind of crossbow machine are they interested in?" Feng Ying asked again. Xun Xu pursed his lips and said in an obvious complaining tone: "This needs to be confirmed with the military people to find out... The guys in the military are all petty, and they never communicate with us about any new weapons they develop; Only after the secrets are leaked will they accuse us aggressively of lax secrecy, but we don’t even know what secrets to keep.” "Xun Zong, it seems that you need to re-evaluate your team..." Feng Ying's criticism stopped, and then he turned his head to Yao You, "Master Zhao, do you want someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion to come forward to coordinate with the military? ?” "...Do you think inviting Yang Changshi will help the whole matter?" Yao You asked back, and the other five people had wry smiles on their faces.The disagreement between Si Wencao and the military of the Shu Kingdom is well known, half of which is due to the natural contradiction in the behavior styles of the two departments, and the other half is due to the two supervisors.Si Wencao's earliest direct supervisor was Ma Su. Since his death, his successor in charge of intelligence affairs was Yang Yi, the chief minister of the prime minister's mansion.The relationship between Yang Yi and the prime minister Sima Weiyan, the top leader of the military, was in dire straits, which resulted in frequent discord between Si Wencao and the military. Ma Xin said at this time: "I am of the same family as General Ma Dai, so why not let me negotiate with the military, maybe it will be smoother." Yao You thought about it, and replied: "That's what you said, but you are still here. Responsible for the intelligence work in the Longxi region; our army may launch another offensive in the spring, and the reconnaissance work in the north cannot be slackened. How about this, you write a letter to General Ma Dai and ask Xun Zheng to come forward." Xun Xu cupped his hands at Ma Xin, "Master Lao Ma is here." Yao You saw that the discussion was almost done, so he made a summary: "Then, the current work will start from two aspects. On the one hand, we will thoroughly investigate the suspicious people who have entered Hanzhong from Longxi in the near future; and the movements of the craftsmen. Both of these things require the assistance of the military...Xun Cheng, do you have enough staff in the Jing'an Department? Do you need to transfer some people from other departments?" Xun Xu answered bluntly: "The more front-line personnel who perform specific tasks, the better, and the fewer senior executives, the better." "that's it?" "Also, I hope to transfer a few bright minds from the Military Advisory Division to assist." "No problem, I'll send the best people there." Hu Zhong nodded. At this time, Feng Ying interjected without losing the opportunity: "Since the military adviser is also involved, for the sake of coordination between the two departments, I will also do some necessary work for Xun." Yao You let out a "huh" and replied: "That's fine, but you should take care of this matter yourself." Feng Ying bowed his head respectfully and said "Yes", and then said to Xun Xu with a little complacency: "Xun Xu Do it, and you must keep me informed of the latest progress.” "As ordered," Xun Xu replied reluctantly, and at the same time muttered to himself, "After all, a high-level executive was sent down." For a long time, there have been many bureaucrats who are full of curiosity and a sense of responsibility to dictate the work of Jing'an Division. To these people, Jing'an Division politely expressed that they would carefully consider their suggestions, and then continue to do their own things.The internal affairs and security departments have their own reserve, they are confident that no one in the entire Shu Kingdom is more professional than them, and they only maintain a moderate respect for those laymen. "Very good, then go ahead. You can use any means, and you must stop this plan." Yao You stood up and summed up the meeting, "I hope that in a few days, I will give Yang Changshi and Prime Minister Zhuge brought Zhu Bian's documents." The official documents of the Shu Kingdom are divided into four colors of green, red, black and purple, so as to classify different documents.Official documents with vermilion borders usually signify a great victory or good news worth publicizing. After the meeting, the five people returned the report to Feng Ying, who destroyed all the transcripts in the stove on the spot, leaving only the original.Then everyone left the stone room, with Xun Xu and Hu Zhong walking in the back. "Shouyi, thank you this time." Xun Xu patted Hu Zhong on the shoulder.Hu Zhong just smiled slightly.Xun Xu raised two index fingers and compared them together: "I have always hoped that the Military Advisory Division and the Jing'an Division can cooperate once. , the Military Advisory Division is responsible for the planning, and the people from the Jing'an Division are responsible for the implementation, it really complements each other." "I would really like to see the effect of planning by the Jing'an Division and the implementation by the Military Advisory Division..." Hu Zhong replied, he also looked serious when he was joking. "As long as Mr. Feng doesn't act on a whim..." Xun Xu said with a sigh. He didn't have any ill feeling towards Feng himself, but he didn't like others to dictate his work. The two walked side by side to the outer courtyard of the Taoist temple. Xun Xu glanced back and said in a low voice, "...Actually, Shouyi, there is a sentence I didn't say at the meeting just now, just because I was afraid that Mr. Feng would make trouble again." "Let me guess. Do you suspect that there is a large mouse inside Hanzhong?" Although Hu Zhong's sentence was a question, his tone was very certain. "Smart." Xun Xu twitched his nostrils in satisfaction, and then changed a worried expression, "It is absolutely impossible to steal blueprints or real objects just by one or two spies who infiltrated our country temporarily. Since Guo Huai This guy is so confident, it means that there will definitely be accomplices in Hanzhong who assist the thief, and they are of high rank, maybe that mouse is an official of the Prime Minister's Mansion, maybe in today's meeting..." Speaking of this, Xun Xu spread his hands and showed an innocent expression: "But how do you ask me to say such things at the meeting." "It must turn the world upside down. If you are not careful, the reputation of Jing'an Division will plummet." Hu Zhong agreed. "Oh, there's no need to worry about that, now Jing'an's reputation can no longer be lowered." The two walked to the door of the "Taoist Temple" while talking. Xun Xu looked at the sky and said regretfully, "I wanted to ask you to drink, but now I have something to do. When the matter is resolved, we will have a good drink." Have a few glasses." "Everything is for the revival of the Han Dynasty." Hu Zhong responded simply, noncommittal to the invitation to drink. The two bid farewell, and Xun Xu watched Hu Zhong's back disappear into the official road, then called the guards and asked him to call all the people from the Jing'an Department for a meeting. "Tell them we've got a rat now." After Xun Xu finished speaking, he tidied up his skirts and scarves, and returned to the "Taoist Temple", secretly hoping that these cats would be competent.He is currently working alone in Hanzhong. His wife and five-year-old son live in Chengdu, so the "home" in Hanzhong is meaningless to him. He stays in the "Taoist Temple" more often and gets busy You won't be homesick. At the same time, on the rugged mountain road two hundred and forty miles away from Nanzheng, a person was walking slowly with a blue grid package on his back.This man was about forty years old, short in stature, even somewhat stooped, with dark and rough skin.On his head is a circle of wormwood canopy - this is the thing that Yizhou people love when they go out. It costs almost no money and can not only shade the sun but also shelter from the rain - and there is a wooden bucket full of water hanging on his waist. The gourd made a splashing sound as it shook.His rough clothes were full of dust and patches, and looked a little thin in this weather. He walked up the mountain step by step with a sharp wooden stick used to prevent wolves.At this time, there was a rumbling sound of wheels grinding the ground from behind him, and soon a flatbed double carriage used for freight ran past him, kicking up waves of dust. He waved his hand at the car, and the coachman pulled the reins tightly to rein in the horse, then turned his head and shouted at the man, "Hey, what's the matter?" He walked to the side of the car and said somewhat cautiously, "This brother Taiwan, can you give me a ride?" "No problem." The coachman patted his chest boldly, "Where are you going?" "Send it to Xixiang for me, thank you." This person's Sichuan accent is very strong, and it sounds like he came from Brazil. "Sure, I'm going to Nanxiang to deliver mulberry trees, and I happen to pass by Xixiang." After speaking, the coachman raised his thumb and shook the car, where there were more than a dozen mulberry tree seedlings wrapped in cloth at the root.He moved his buttocks, stretched out his hand and dragged the man into the cart, then flicked his whip, and the two horses continued to drive the cart forward. No matter which era, the driver of the goods is the most talkative, and this driver is no exception.As soon as he drove, he chatted endlessly. "My name is Qin Ze, and I am from Mianzhu. But this body is often said to be from Xuzhou, haha. But I have never been to the Central Plains, so I don't know how it compares to our Yizhou. Hey, yes, your name is what?" "Oh, my surname is Li, and my name is Li An." The passer-by replied very stiffly, probably due to the fatigue of the long journey. "Looking at your appearance, you came from far away, right?" "I came from Ankang." Hearing the name of the place, the coachman stared at him with rounded eyes, sighed after a long time, and said in a pitiful tone: "I see, you are a merchant." "It's not bad to be able to come back with a life." Li An replied with a wry smile. Ankang, also known as Xicheng, is located in the lower reaches of the Han River more than 300 miles southeast of Nanzheng, not far from Shangyong.Ever since Meng Da was defeated by Sima Yi, it has been the area controlled by Wei State.Although Shu and Wei were in a state of political war, private trade never stopped with the tacit approval of the government.Compared with Longxi's years of fighting, the frontiers of Weixing, Shangyong, and Ankang have always been relatively calm. In addition, it is close to the Mian River and Han River, and the transportation is extremely convenient, so it is quite popular among merchants. Not only the rich, but even some poor people would often sneak into Wei State with small quantities of goods to sell.However, the latter situation will not bring huge profits to the government, and it will easily breed security and diplomatic problems, so it has always been under attack.There are often small traders who have all their goods confiscated and are forced to return to their hometowns without a penny. Such people are called "fallen merchants". This man named Li An came back from Ankang, and he was obviously a merchant. "It's not easy to do anything these days." Qin Ze casually tore a straw from the side of the car and put it in his mouth, "All three of my brothers were transferred to serve as soldiers in Hanzhong. Working as a coachman. Only my 60-year-old mother and three women are left to plow the fields, and life was very difficult at that time." "That's right..." Li An tightened his wraps tightly, and couldn't see clearly the expression hidden under the shadow of the wormwood canopy. The car arrived at Xixiang in the evening when the sun was about to set.The official road was cut off by a steep pass ten miles east of Xixiang City. Everyone who passed by had to pass through this pass before entering the Hanzhong area.It was about to close at this moment, and the soldiers who were eager to be laid off were not very angry with the two people who showed up so late. "Your car, stop and check." The soldiers guarding the pass put their spears horizontally on the wooden corners on both sides of the pass, and shouted at Li An and Qin Ze.Qin Ze hastily stopped the carriage, pulled the brakes, and took out from his bosom the famous stab talisman issued by the native Xiang Zuo and handed it to the soldier. This small piece of silk was written with his name, general appearance, place of origin, and household registration Types and seals of the village.The soldier checked and found no flaws. He raised his head and noticed Li An standing aside. "Are you together?" "No, he was the one who gave me a ride to Xixiang halfway, and we just met today." Qin Ze kindly didn't mention that Li An was a merchant, for fear of causing him trouble. After hearing Qin Ze's words, the soldier walked up to Li An, sized him up suspiciously, and shouted, "Hey, your famous assassin." Li Ang took out a crumpled name card from his arms and handed it to the soldier. The name card indicated that he was from Brazil.The soldier asked suspiciously: "You are from Brazil, why did you come to Hanzhong?" Li An replied honestly: "I am a merchant, and now I have lost all my wealth, so I have no choice but to join my brother in Hanzhong." The soldiers didn't seem to trust him, told him to stand up with his arms outstretched, and began searching him.Li Ang's package was just some old clothes, dry food, a wind tent and a hatchet.The soldiers checked his body, but found nothing except a few lice; the unwilling soldier picked up the gourd on his waist, opened the lid and shook it, and there was a sound of water. At this time, two soldiers came from the pass, and they shouted: "Second son, what are you doing? Hurry up and let's go drink. Lao Zhang brought two jars of good wine from his house today." "Okay, okay." The soldier stood up resentfully, returned the famous thorn to Li An, raised his spear, and urged the two of them to go over quickly.Thanks a lot, the two drove the car through the checkpoint.Behind them, the two heavy and dark doors slammed shut with a bang. After walking five miles away, the carriage came to a three-way intersection.Qin Ze stopped the carriage and said to Li An: "Brother, I can only send you here. I walked south all night and returned to Nanxiang. Take care." "Take care too." Li An replied. Qin Ze whistled, and quickly disappeared into the night in the carriage.After Li An watched his figure disappear completely, he straightened his back suddenly and returned to a normal figure.He quickly ran to a bush beside the road and squatted down, opened the package, took out the hatchet inside, removed the handle, and hidden inside was a small iron piece with strange sawtooth, a new name badge and a pattern Strange yellow paper talisman; next, Li An took out the gourd, scraped off the green paint on the bottom of the gourd with his fingernails, turned it lightly, and the bottom of the whole gourd was completely removed. There is a brown liquid hidden in the bottom of the gourd. Li An poured this liquid on the palm of his hand, rubbed it, and then applied it on his face.Soon all the darkness on his face disappeared, replaced by a fair face. Li An stood up, opened the package, took out the old clothes inside and tore off the linen lining. Hidden in the lining was another short-sleeved silk shirt with a collar and right lapel; and in the wind tent he found A pair of wide open crotch trousers, a spoke scarf and a leather belt with horseshoe rings. He put these on, put the new name talisman and yellow paper talisman in his arms, and then gathered the rest of the clothes and parcels together and burned them.After completing these tasks, "Li An" walked towards Xixiang City. On the way, he saw a fast post horse passing by, heading towards the pass he just passed.When "Li An" came to Xixiang City, the city gate was closed, so he had to spend the night in the post house under the city. The old pawn in the post house brought him a bowl of shochu and asked casually, "Where did the guest come from?" "Oh, I'm from Chengdu, my name is Mi Chong." "Li An" took the bowl and replied with a smile. At this time, he already spoke with a Chengdu accent.
