Pour boiling water into the bamboo tube, Yuan Ji held it up with both hands and handed it to Lin Su: "After this house is built, the young master will be the first guest to enter the house. Please drink this cup of tea!"
"Thank you!" Lin Su took it. When he was taking the tea, he clearly felt a soft finger lightly scratching the palm of his hand.
Qi Yao was still unaware of anything.
Yuan Ji also handed Qi Yao tea.
Drinking tea, the two women chatted for a while, and then they left...
"Yao'er, who is this Yuan Ji...?"
Qi Yao said: "She is from Yuanbu, and her father is my father's sworn brother, so we always played together when we were young. You may not think that she is from Yuanbu, but she is completely different from other women in Yuanbu.
She doesn't like things between men and women and has already announced that she will never marry."
Don't like things between men and women?
Lin Su licked his lips. Why did he feel...that this was not the case?
The two of them flew through the sky, with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers below them.
These mountains and rivers were the location of the seventy-two tribes of the Southern Territory back then, and they were also the basic base of the Southern King. The Southern King was not so much the prince of Da Cang, but the king of the tribes of these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The Southern King's Palace was given to him by the royal family.
It is also close to Dacang Mountain. Outside the gate of Nanwangfu, there is only ten miles of land that is his fief. Ten miles away is the area under the jurisdiction of Xunzheng, the magistrate of Ningzhou.
Here we must talk about Da Cang’s enfeoffment system.
The titles of king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male are all empty titles. In addition to being distinguished, they only have more honors, but there is no real power.
Of course, most people who have titles also hold other positions part-time. For example, Lin Dingnan, the Marquis of Dingnan at that time, was the commander-in-chief of Xueyuguan, and he had the power of "coach"; for example, if he had just escaped from Guimen Pass, he
Li Xiaotian, Dingyuan Bo of the Tribulation, is himself a general in Dragon City, and he has the power of a general. These have nothing to do with the title - without the previous title, the power will not be lost at all, and adding this title will not
Increase real power.
The same is true for King Nan. In addition to having the title of Prince, he is also the commander-in-chief of the Da Cang Cang Mountain Army. The power he possesses is the military power of the commander.
But locally, he does not have any governing power.
Lin Su asked Qi Yao and learned that Xun Zheng, the magistrate of Ningzhou, quite respects the Nanwang Palace. During the Chinese New Year this year, he even made a special trip to the palace to pay his respects. The gift was actually Baiyunbian produced by the Lin family, but the old man was not as good as his husband.
He was generous, so he gave him two jars of wine. His father had a meal with him, and the two jars of wine he gave him were drank by them on the spot...
Hearing this, Lin Su smiled. Isn't this still the tradition of the Nanwang Palace? Just use the wine given by the guests to entertain the guests...
"My husband, when you go back, don't drink like your father. You really can't drink him." Qi Yao married her husband and began to feel sorry for her husband.
Lin Su hugged her tightly: "Baby, I'm so happy that you feel sorry for me, but the problem is... your father is so arrogant that he can't do it without drinking..."
"If he wants you to drink again, you say, Master... You just need to say, Master, don't drink more, and he guarantees that he won't dare to persuade you again."
Huh? Lin Su opened his eyes wide: "Just like what you said today, Confucius said: Don't drink too much before you wake up from a hangover? You just added it indiscriminately? I've searched all over the classics, but I can't find what Confucius said about you.
Who said..."
Qi Yao laughed so hard that her chest jumped: "My father didn't read many books, and he was very convinced of Zi's words. As soon as he heard what Zi said, he would be soft-hearted. How could he know that the words behind them were really the words of a saint, or that I was just talking nonsense? I
It was with these hands that my mother held my father firmly in her palm..."
Lin Su was both amused and amused. She was a little excited when she saw the two big rabbits on her chest. Just when she was about to catch the rabbits to try her hand, the clouds suddenly opened in front of them, and a long row of mountain peaks appeared in front of them.
On the top of the mountain, a Great Wall was built using local materials. Hundreds of large flags were fluttering in the wind. The large flags had a yellow background and black characters with a tiger shape on them, which said "Cangshan".
The tiger-shaped flag with a yellow background is the royal flag!
Cangshan is the name of the army!
Here we are, this is the frontline military city of the Cangshan Army.
"Ms. sir, get down!" Qi Yao's face was a little red. Just as her mother said, although she was bold and bold, she would never dare to be carried by a man in front of the army.
The two fell into the jungle and embarked on the road up the mountain. After walking more than a hundred meters, the jungle above shook slightly, and a group of people appeared silently in the grass. They were dressed in the uniforms of Da Cang soldiers, but they were completely different from the soldiers outside.
Likewise, they appeared in the jungle, silently, like a group of cheetahs.
"Who is it?" Several soldiers shouted at the same time, their voices as low as a tiger's roar.
Qi Yao raised his head, and the expressions of the soldiers in front changed at the same time, and they bowed: "Princess Princess!"
Even if something happened suddenly, their voices were still consistent.
Lin Su glanced at the positions of these people and their bowing postures, and his heart skipped a beat...
Well trained!
Why?
Their positions are not in a line, but scattered and uneven. It doesn't look neat at all, but it is the proper battle formation for jungle combat. If they suddenly bump into the enemy, the people in front will be in danger, and those behind them will be in danger.
People can also respond in time.
Even when they bow, they are alert. These are all trained and learned through many battles.
Qi Yao said: "Where is the deputy commander?"
The deputy commander is her brother Qi Dong, Cangshan Army, her father is the commander, her eldest brother is the deputy commander, and the deputy commander is in charge of all daily military affairs.
"Princess Princess, the deputy commander is in the war room, and his subordinates will lead the way!"
Together, the team of seventeen people divided into two lines, with four people in the front walking together, Qi Yao and Lin Su in the middle, five people in the back, and the remaining eight people divided into two lines and disappeared into the jungle on both sides.
Lin Su's Qiandu Eyes chased these warriors, secretly amazed.
These warriors sneak through the jungle at extremely fast speeds, passing through ditches and ridges, like shadows passing over the earth, like eagles flying across the sky, without disturbing the trees, the grass, or even the birds and insects in the woods.
"Is this the Foot Warrior?" Lin Su's voice came into Qi Yao's ears.
Qi Yao nodded slightly, with a hint of blush appearing on his face.
In front of the soldiers just now, she looked like a battlefield general, looking extremely powerful, but as long as her eyes met with his, she looked like an out-and-out child.
Although Qi Yao was calm on the outside, her heart was also racing.
I'm going to see my brother soon.
I have to introduce him to my brother. No matter how bold and bold she is, she is still a little shy...
Passing through two mountain peaks, there were soldiers on both sides. Some military camps were also built in some relatively flat areas. Of course, there were sounds of fighting in the military camps, but as soon as they arrived, the fighting stopped and everyone stood at attention and shouted.
A princess...
Not many people focused their attention on Lin Su's face, because in the sergeant's mind, the people who followed the princess could only be her bodyguards.
Lin Su's eyes were steady, his steps were steady, and he followed Qi Yao, keeping a distance of about five steps. However, he had already seen a lot of things while going up the mountain.
First, the Cangshan Army's world-famous reputation is not accidental. It is truly well-trained. Qi Yao said that her brother is proficient in military training. It is no lie. This army has all the energy and spirit of elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles.
Secondly, this army's military supplies are really insufficient. Some of the armors worn by the soldiers have holes in them, and the swords and guns in their hands are also seriously damaged. Most of them are dishonest.
Thirdly, this little girl Qi Yao has a very high prestige in the army! Although she has never spoken to discipline anyone, everyone respects her from the bottom of their hearts, and this respect is not due to her status as the princess.
respect, but respect for herself.
This brings up a question, how did the little woman who was lying in her arms like a little rabbit just conquer the border warriors?
She must have participated in the battle!
And it has achieved very impressive results!
In front of it is a peak. On the top of the peak, a huge stone is used as a foundation to build a house with a roof and a huge king's flag flying in the air.
There is the command center of the entire army and the residence of the deputy commander.
Lin Su followed Qi Yao up the stairs and reached the top of the mountain. A soldier entered the account and reported...
Soon, a man in his thirties strode out and grabbed Qi Yao's shoulders: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a while. Father, how is mother?"
He is Qidong, the heir apparent of Nanwangfu.
Lin Su raised his eyes and looked at Qi Dong. He was really tall, at least 1.9 meters tall, and looked very ordinary. But considering his father's appearance, Lin Su still admitted that he had improved the genes of the Qi family.
Qi Yao whispered to Qi Dong.
Qi Dong's majestic eyes suddenly fell on Lin Su.
As soon as this look came out, the two soldiers beside Lin Su couldn't stand, but Lin Su was like spring breeze...
Qi Dong strode out. When he started to walk out, it was as if he was carrying a strong wind all over the mountain. But with every step he took, the sound of the wind weakened. When he came to Lin Su, he smiled, and his smile was like a spring breeze: "Brother Su!"
He held Lin Su's shoulders.
"I've met the deputy commander!" Lin Su bowed slightly.
"I know what happened in May last year!" Qi Dong said a word without thinking, and then said: "Mother may be skeptical about your arrival, but I have never doubted it. I firmly believe that you
Will definitely come!”
Most people don't understand these words, but Lin Su understands: "Why do you believe so strongly?"
"Because I believe in the rumors in the world that you do what you say, and you are a man!"
Ha ha……
Lin Su smiled.
Qi Dong also laughed: "You have also seen the Cangshan Army on your way here...how do you think?"
"Soldiers who have fought hundreds of battles, the southern army is well-deserved!"
"Cangshan Erlang, this is how it should be!" Qi Dong raised his hands again, grabbed his shoulders and gave him a heavy squeeze: "Brother, I am still discussing military affairs, so I can't chat with you anymore. You ask my sister to take you around.
, that’s what happened here, I’m looking for you to have a drink.”
"Okay! Then don't bother...brother!"
When the word "brother" entered the door, Qi Dong was elated and turned around to re-enter the big account.
Qi Yao also had a smile on his face: "Let's go, I will accompany you to that military camp..."
The military camp Qi Yao pointed to was almost parallel to the top of the mountain, connected by a rope bridge in the middle. Under the bridge, there was an abyss with floating clouds.
As soon as the two stepped onto the rope bridge, a mist rolled in, and the mountain peaks behind them were faintly visible.
Qi Yao stopped and said, "My eldest brother is so happy today."
"That's natural!" Lin Su squeezed her little hand: "His precious girl has found a man, how can he be unhappy?"
Qi Yao chuckled: "My brother heard your legend a few days ago and got angry..."
Holy shit! Getting into trouble?
"What legend about me makes your brother so angry?"
There was an answer in his heart, could it be the legend of me playing with women? It deeply stimulated my uncle?
"I didn't say he was angry, he was excited!" Qi Yao said: "When he learned that you carried the ministers on top of the Golden Palace and miraculously pardoned Li Xiaotian, he jumped up and said something. You know what it was?
?”
"What?"
"When you have a son, you should be like Lin Sanlang!" Qi Yao's eyes flashed.
"Damn! What kind of bullshit emotion... I doubt he has read much. I wonder if this can only be said by an old man?"
Qi Yao laughed so hard: "He is not talking about you, he is talking about his two sons. He said that you are not young anymore, one is five years old and the other is three and a half years old. Look at the number one scholar, he is less than twenty.
, To enter the literary world is to be at the pinnacle of literary talent, to enter the court is to be a prodigy in the political arena, but what about you? You only know how to play day by day, please do the math for me, how many days are you left before you are twenty years old?"
Lin Su's eyes widened: "Have they figured it out?"
"My eldest brother couldn't figure it out himself, so how could such a young child do it? So, one of them got beaten up, got up and ran away. They didn't dare to come out until my eldest brother left home. So, let's go home later.
, if these two nephews are disrespectful to you, you should be more patient, they are beaten because of you..."
Lin Su: "If they dare to be disrespectful to me, I will do my best to show off and let his father take the case again and beat them again..."
Qi Yao laughed so much that she almost rolled off the bridge...
The wind blew outside, blowing away the heavy fog, and Lin Su suddenly became clear...
Behind them is the vast Da Cang Mountain, and hundreds of miles ahead are criss-crossing valleys. Several huge cities stand at dangerous passes. Above the cities, military flags are also flying, but they are the Red Army flags.
Between the city and Dacang Mountain is a dry river valley. The white stones in the river valley have been stained red. A small amount of river water rushes away, and there is clearly blood in it.
There are signs that there has been a big battle here in the past few days.
This place is already at the foot of Cangshan Mountain. What does it mean that such a large-scale war is happening? It means that the Red Army has begun to attack the Cangshan Army. If they really let them take this mountain, the consequences will be disastrous. There is no military barrier in the thousands of miles of plains behind Cangshan Mountain.
, the entire Ningzhou, and even the three states south of the Pearl River, were under their attack.
"Ms. sir, let's cross the bridge. The fog has cleared and everyone is watching..."
Qi Yao's voice came to my ears.
Yes, when the fog dissipates, the bridge is exposed to everyone's sight and is no longer a private space.
Across the bridge was an independent military camp. As soon as Qi Yao arrived, several generals knelt down at the same time and called themselves Princess. Lin Su's eyes dropped and he was slightly surprised. This military camp was full of women.
Although the wind at the border had darkened their faces, and although the armor restricted their figures, it could still be seen that their appearance was first-rate.
