In mid-March, the stubborn grass had already sprouted. Jing'er was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, her face red from the cold, but her expression was very excited. () Humming a tune in her mouth, she occasionally grabbed the coachman's whip and gently
When the ground shakes on the horse's back, the horse will itch and throw its tail up, but if it can't reach the itch, it will snort depressedly. At this time, Jing'er will let out a silver bell-like laughter,
It attracted the attention of the five hundred soldiers.
In this somewhat dull life on the road, Jing'er is the most beautiful scenery around them.
After leaving the palace, there were fewer rules, and the young master was kind, so Jing'er's naughty temperament began to emerge. She knew that she was not beautiful, but the problem was who to compare with. In a place like this,
She is already considered a rare beauty, so she enjoys the feeling of being the center of attention for a little while. Sometimes, some team members even talk to Jing'er on the pretext of caring about Lin Yi, which greatly satisfies her vanity.
.
But Jing'er never forgets the rules. She always shyly answers the other party's questions. If the other party doesn't leave, she will find an excuse to get into the carriage and hide for a while. From the small palace
After coming to the vast world and meeting more people, Jing'er's heart seemed to have grown bigger. She no longer always thought about Brother Zhuzi. In addition to taking good care of the young master, she enjoyed the process of traveling even more.
But she didn't expect that she would soon meet her brother Zhuzi.
Lin Yi was shaking his head in the carriage and couldn't stop his expression of joy, which made Li Chunfeng's teeth hurt.
"I said, can you put away those dimples on your face, what are you showing off? Isn't it okay to know that you are cute?" Li Chunfeng just didn't want to talk to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows: "Are you jealous of me? Do you want me to get two for you?"
"Go, go, go. Who wants that as a grown man!" Li Chunfeng rolled his eyes at him.
Lin Yi is depressed. What do you mean? He will grow up too!
"Master, we have arrived in Haizhou." Jing'er's cheerful voice sounded.
So fast! Lin Yi opened the window and stuck his head out. Isn't it still far away? The city wall of Haizhou can only be seen a little now. This girl is too excited.
Lin Yi returned to the carriage and sat down, it was better to do something serious. He felt the concentration of magic around him, it was okay. It was a little worse, but it was not as rare as imagined, which proved that the crystals were
The mine has radiated here. Although it is not the main vein, the branch veins are not bad and are suitable for mining now.
Li Chunfeng stared at Lin Yimiao's happy little face. () This kid has been like this in the past few days. What good thing is there? How come I followed him all the way but didn't know it?
Haizhou's city wall is quite decent, made of bluestone. Although it has traces of time, it may not have experienced many wars, so in Lin Yi's eyes, it is still intact.
At the gate of Haizhou City, Duan Zhixuan said a few words politely to the Haizhou governor and a group of officials who came to greet him, and then took a dozen guards into the city, while Lin Yi went not far from Haizhou City.
's military camp.
This military camp is not very big, and it is surrounded by shoddy earth walls, and even the inside is filled with adobe houses. It looks dilapidated and desolate.
When Lin Yi and his group of soldiers arrived at the barracks, there were already a lot of people surrounding them. Most of them were young and strong guys, and some looked a little older. But the only thing they had in common was that they were wearing coarse cloth.
His clothes and body were thin, and he looked at them from a distance.
The barracks had been cleared, leaving only two veterans waiting for their arrival, and after Duan Zhixuan's men took over, they also returned to resume their duties.
Lin Yi got out of the car and frowned at such a place. It was much worse than he imagined. Is this the navy's camp in the future?
He didn't even think about it. All he had seen before were large camps in the capital. How could a barracks in a state be compared?
Twenty thousand people? This place can only accommodate two thousand people. Lin Yi curled his lips. It seems that it needs to be renovated. Alas... there are so many things going on.
Lin Yi walked towards the general's barracks, which looked like a decent house.
Cui Xiaoli stood in the farthest corner and watched Xiao Yi's carriage drive into the military camp. He also saw Zheng Yu and his group. Because he was so eye-catching, he didn't even know how to change his clothes and came to watch? This
Human brains are really bad! Do you still think everyone is blind?
He moved forward quietly, waiting for Zheng Yu to leave.
Zheng Yu observed with the three people around him and then left. He was very angry that Lin Yi actually lived in the military camp. This guy was really afraid of death. He must have done a lot of bad things, but... Hehe! Young Master
Don't be afraid, the three rangers around him are good at climbing over walls and houses, and he will definitely ask his uncle to move General Duan away. He must attend the reception banquet.
Tonight, their unsteady footing was a good time for him to take action. Moreover, they had been traveling for several days. When they first arrived at their destination, it was the most tiring and relaxing moment. If they missed today, they might not have the chance. No matter what,
This must be done to teach him a lesson, at least to vent the bad breath in his heart.
Cui Xiaoli wore civilian coarse clothes and walked towards the military camp. Although living here was safer than other places, he was still worried about Lin Yi. He had to at least inform him so that he could not be unprepared.
"Brother, the general has just arrived today. If you want to sign up for the navy, please wait patiently for two days. The general will issue an announcement." The soldier guarding the gate thought Cui Xiaoli was here to inquire about recruitment news.
"Brother guard, please inform King Zhongshan that Cui Xiaoli from the capital is visiting." Cui Xiaoli nodded to the guarding soldiers.
The soldier raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Cui Xiaoli without any trace. Although he was dressed in coarse clothes, his words and deeds were full of anger. He then nodded and went in to report.
Lin Yi stood speechless in the only room in the barracks that he could see clearly. There was a hard wooden bed, a similarly hard wooden couch beside the left wall, a short table on the right, and
A teapot and a few cups, that's all there is in the house.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Yi decided that he would stay in the carriage tonight. Maybe not just tonight! Lin Yi shook his head helplessly.
"Master, someone outside reported that Cui Xiaoli is visiting from the capital." Liu Wu came in and interrupted Lin Yi's thoughts.
"Ah? Then...invite him in!" Lin Yi was a little confused. Is it really him? Why is he here too?
"Xiao Yi, brother, this time... well... generally speaking, it's not a good thing for me to come." Cui Xiaoli sighed as soon as he entered the room.
He didn't want to hide these things from Lin Yi, at least he had to let Lin Yi know what he was doing.
"Brother Cui, what is going on? Looking at the troubled look on your face... I am really surprised to see you here." Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Sigh... It's mainly about two things. First, Zheng Yu from the Zheng family wants to do something bad to you. He invited three rangers to deal with you, but I don't know the specific time when he will do it, but I guess it will be tonight.
." Cui Xiaoli shook his head and said, if it were him, he would definitely set the action tonight.
Lin Yi nodded. He knew that Zheng Yu would not let him go. They had come to their territory. If he didn't do something, even Lin Yi would despise him.
"The second thing is related to my family." Cui Xiaoli said with a wry smile: "They called me here just because you are here, and their purpose is to show their goodwill to you first and wait for you to accept it.
I’ve had enough affection, and I’ll ask you to do something again, do you understand?”
Lin Yi nodded, understand, there is nothing wrong with this. But who said you have to repay the benefits? Especially for someone with a purpose like this, it doesn't matter as long as you don't have any leverage in their hands. Besides,
Even if there is a clue, what can they do to him?
Lin Yi is in need of help now. He has too many things to do, and he can't do it by himself. Why not use someone who can come to your doorstep? Well, it's not that scary if you feel the pulse of an aristocratic family.
Lin Yi, who came from a noble family in his previous life, knew very well what these people were thinking, which was just to keep the family prosperous. To rebel and become emperor? They didn't have the ability yet.
Lin Yi's indifferent attitude made Cui Xiaoli anxious.
"Xiao Yi, you don't understand the energy of the family. Once you enter this vortex, you can't get out!" Cui Xiaoli nervously grabbed Lin Yi's arm and explained to him eagerly.
"I understand! How many people are here from your Cui family? What can they do? I just need people." Lin Yi moved the earth element to the place where Cui Xiaoli was holding him. This man's hand is so strong, it hurts.
Understand? Is this still called understanding?
"Xiaoyi, you should stay away from the aristocratic family. Once you express your love, what will you do in return? Don't do anything stupid!" Cui Xiaoli couldn't understand why the two parties seemed to have a tacit understanding. The only one who was anxious was
On his own?
What else? What's not to repay? Just help them create a crisis and then rescue them yourself! As for the aristocratic family, deep roots and lush leaves are both advantages and disadvantages. In fact, as long as they don't break up and fight to the death, sometimes they can only suffer a little loss.
I can recognize it.
"I really understand. Don't be anxious. Please help me find out about the manpower and resources they can mobilize. I have a lot to do." Lin Yi had no choice but to explain again. He felt that Cui Xiaoli didn't understand.
Originally, if Lin Yi wanted to just stay in the capital and live a leisurely life, then it would be okay to avoid the aristocratic family, but the problem is that he has to go out to do things, and judging from his godfather's attitude, it seems that he doesn't want him to be idle at all, so
The aristocratic family will definitely come into contact, so it is better to take the initiative and let them obey your command. If they behave well, of course they will get candy. If they do not behave well, they will be beaten away with two sticks.
Cui Xiaoli slapped his forehead and felt that he was really redundant. It would be more efficient to have his seventh grandfather talk to Lin Yi directly. It was obvious that one of them was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. He was the only one in the middle.
eventful.
But... he was worried. No matter how smart Xiao Yi was, he was still just a child. He didn't understand these things, so how could he ignore it? Cui Xiaoli helplessly continued to persuade Lin Yi.
Until Lin Yi pushed him out the door impatiently, but...he would not give up. Cui Xiaoli vowed to protect Lin Yi. (To be continued...)
