The question now is, what is the purpose of Zuo Ci using this victory-weary technique?

Of course Wu Liang would not question Zhen Mi's vision. With her qualifications, this little trick was just a trick, and there was no possibility of concealing it.

Zuo Ci probably didn't mean to harm anyone.

Because Zhen Mi also made it clear that although what Zuo Ci was performing now was supposed to be a victory-weary technique, it was mainly a suppression ritual.

If you want to figure out Zuo Ci's true purpose, you should first figure out what he wants to suppress, so that all problems can be easily solved.

However, if Yang Wanli investigates this matter closely, there is a high probability that there will be no results.

After all, he had already said before that the people in Jinyang City did not know much about Zuo Ci. They only knew that he was the "immortal master" invited by Zhang Liang of Jinyang from somewhere.

As for what this "immortal master" is capable of, most people have no idea.

Like Wu Liang and others, most of them saw Zuo Ci for the first time.

But Zhang Liang, the commander of Jinyang, should know something.

Otherwise, how could he, a person who had no interest in such things before, suddenly hold such a sacrificial ceremony and address Zuo Ci as an "immortal master".

You can guess it with a little bit of association.

Zuo Ci must have shown some "immortal skills" in front of Jinyang's order Zhang Liang that could convince him, so that he could teach Zhang Liang to trust him so much and obey him so much.

certainly.

It is also possible that Zhang Liang knew what Zuo Ci was suppressing earlier than before.

Even some unknown phenomena may have appeared in Jinyang City recently, and it has reached the point where if it is not suppressed, disaster will definitely be imminent, so Zuo Ci had to be found here.

However, there is a loophole in this possibility.

That was Zuo Ci's concealing way of worshiping. If Zhang Liang really knew what Zuo Ci was suppressing, there would be no need to be so covert.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Wu Liangsi was still more inclined to the previous guess.

This sacrificial ceremony was probably Zuo Ci's own intention. Zhang Liang didn't know much about it, and he might even have been completely kept in the dark.

And now Wu Liang wants to figure out Zuo Ci's true purpose, which may not be an easy task.

After all, Zuo Ci has something evil in his mind at the moment, and he will definitely be on guard against everyone he comes into contact with. It is almost impossible to get close to him without alerting him, let alone trying to find out some information from him. This is naturally more important.

It is difficult to reach the sky.

Perhaps acting rashly will bring disaster to the entire Hu army.

Now Zuo Ci has gained the trust of Zhang Liang, the commander of Jinyang, and has even made him obey his advice. In this way, Zuo Ci can be regarded as a local snake in Jinyang City, and the rest of the Hu army, even if they are strong dragons, are slightly less powerful.

Lower your head.

What's more, Wu Liang and others still know too little about Zuo Ci, let alone his abilities. If Zuo Ci is judged based on the records in history books, it is really hard to say who is the snake and who is the dragon...

"Can you see anything else?"

While thinking this, Wu Liang looked at Zhen Mi and asked.

"No more for now."

Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "But what I can be sure of is that if this person uses the art of hating victory here, then the thing he is suppressing must be in the city, and it should have a lot of connection with this ancient altar.

It's even possible that this ancient altar was built to suppress something."

"Understood……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

It seems that Yang Wanli should be reminded to focus the investigation on the ancient ruins in Jinyang City and the connection between these ancient ruins and this ancient altar.

Maybe you can gain something this way.

However, according to the news that Yang Wanli brought back previously, the vast majority of the people in the city are unable to explain the origin of this ancient altar, and it is probably difficult to provide other useful information.

But as long as there is a slight possibility, you should give it a try, so Wu Liang is not ready to make a conclusion too early.

As for Zhen Mi.

The fact that she has reached this point shows that she actually doesn't know much about this ancient altar, even if what she knows can be traced back to before the Xia Dynasty.

After all, strictly speaking, the area where she was born should be Tushan. Later, when she married Dayu, she mainly lived in the south of central China. She may not have been to Bingzhou, and she may not be interested in everything.

Think about it this way.

Wu Liang felt that it was Jinyang Ling Zhang Liang who was easier to contact.

Regarding Zuo Ci, except for the records in history books, Wu Liang now can be said to know nothing about it. Even if Yang Wanli is asked to investigate, it will be difficult to find out anything, and he will alert the snake if he is not careful.

But for Jinyang ordered Zhang Liang.

The news brought back by Yang Wanli was much more detailed, and many people in the city were able to make some comments, which could easily be verified.

On this basis, it was easier for Wu Liang to favor Zhang Liang, the commander of Jinyang.

fragrant!

This is the important entry point that Wu Liang came up with after analyzing all the information related to Zhang Liang.

This hobby is Zhang Liang's weakness.

And speaking of fragrance.

Wu Liang was indeed able to produce visions that were different from ordinary spices, which not only made Zhang Liang fascinated, but also refreshed Zhang Liang's spirit.

He believed that the incense that the stranger spent his life developing in the tomb of Marquis Haihun must have had a fatal attraction for Zhang Liang.

Think of this.

Wu Liang immediately called Yang Wanli over and whispered, "Go quickly and check the route Zhang Liang will take back home after holding the ceremony, and then find out which carriage he will take."

"promise."

Yang Wanli nodded and led the two of them out of the crowd.

…

The sacrificial ceremony is still being held in an orderly manner.

In fact, Wu Liang was not very interested in such a ceremony. Most of the etiquette and procedures were similar to the Han rites recorded in the history books of the Han Dynasty. Except for some small details, there was not much to study.

After a long half hour passed like this.

The ceremony is finally coming to an end.

Jinyang ordered Zhang Liang to stand on the ancient altar and read aloud a smelly and long memorial poem written by an unknown person. Wu Liang could almost understand what it meant. Some of the Hu soldiers were literate.

The backbone of the people can almost understand it. They are nothing more than thanking heaven and earth, and praying to God to bless Jinyang City with long-term peace and good weather.

But for the vast majority of people in the audience who can’t even write their own names.

Except for a few relatively straightforward terms, the rest of this sacrificial poem is no different from heavenly scripture.

So much so that when Zhang Liang read out the sacrificial speech, many people yawned... If they hadn't known before, Zhang Liang and the "immortal master" on the stage would provide food and wine after the sacrificial speech ceremony.

The people in the city were feasting on the food, and they were assured that the food would be large and sufficient. I'm afraid they had already begun to disperse.

Yes.

Yang Wanli had reported this matter to Wu Liang before.

At that time, even Yang Wanli himself felt that this matter was a bit mysterious. In this war-torn era when many people could not even afford to eat, it was a rare act of charity in the world for the Zhen Mansion where Zhen Mi was to open a warehouse to release grain, but here it was directly provided

The food and wine are served in large quantities and enough is ensured. No matter how much you say this, it’s hard to believe.

It should be noted that even though the productivity and population have been greatly affected in this era, the current resident population of Jinyang City is not large. However, according to Wu Liang's visual inspection, there are at least several thousand people who came to watch the ceremony this time.

So many, that's excluding those underage children and half-grown adults.

What is the concept of so many people enjoying their food and drink?

Wu Liang felt that he should be able to directly eat Jinyang City Treasury and Zhang Liang down to their underwear.

After all, unlike opening warehouses to store grain, wine and meat can already be classified as luxury goods under the current situation. Meat is actually a little easier to say, especially wine.

The wine of this era is not the same thing as the liquor produced on the production line in later generations.

Except for a few liquors produced on production lines in later generations, which are priced at more than a few thousand yuan, or even over ten thousand yuan, which are really tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, the rest are all blended with edible alcohol. If anyone doesn't believe it, you can see it for yourself

Take a look at the ingredient list on the bottle, and if you refuse to argue, you are right.

The wines of this era were all genuine grain wines, "grain wine" in the true sense. And due to the limitations of brewing level, the output was pitifully low. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a waste of grain.

This is the reason why the imperial court immediately promulgated the "alcohol ban" or "alcohol restriction order" whenever there was a war in ancient times.

The soldiers fighting on the front line can't even get enough food to eat, so how can there be any extra food for making wine? Are the soldiers going to fight hungry and the officials belching wine to guide the country?

The same is true for Boss Cao.

But now Boss Cao has issued a "Liquor Restriction Order". After he welcomes Emperor Xian and truly begins to take control of the government, he will issue a "Liquor Prohibition Order". After all, by then he has already been the owner of most of the dynasty, so it is natural for him to be the owner.

You also know that firewood and rice are expensive.

So, a lot of wine and meat can lead to satiety?

Not only Wu Liang couldn't believe it, but the common people couldn't believe it either... It's just that they may not be able to touch meat for several years, and wine is something that many people are not qualified to touch in their lives, even if they know it in their hearts.
To be continued...
