Chapter 71
In the past, Lan'er would have slapped Hong Yun away. She had never wanted to see Hong Yun smile so playfully at Long Xinyu. However, since they met a few days ago, she learned that Hong Yun was the master of Concubine Jia.
And Concubine Jia is his master, and her martial arts skills were also trained by Hong Yun. This, this, this... seems to be the real master...
Lan'er stared at Hong Yun in confusion, not daring to help.
However, Long Xinyu slapped him away without politeness, walked towards Tong Luoyang with a bowl of steamed dumplings in her hands.
Looking at Hong Yun's pitiful eyes, Lan'er couldn't bear to hand over the millet porridge in her hand: "Hong, Hong... No. 1 Scholar, let's have some porridge..."
Hong Yun looked at the porridge in Lan'er's hand sadly and angrily, shook his head and went down to the attic.
Tong Luoyang was in a very comfortable mood, extremely comfortable!
It feels good to be hurt!
For the first time, he felt like this. It was good to be injured. He could doubt others without fear of others being angry. He could say what he wanted without fear of others being angry. Others would not care. He could enjoy breakfast served by his wife personally. Oh, there were still those delicious dumplings...
.
In the two years that followed, whenever I thought of the comfort of this day, Tong Luoyang's back that had been lonely for a long time would be slightly tinged with a soft halo.
Afterwards, Tong Luoyang realized that no one should be too complacent at any time in this world, otherwise you would not know the ruthless hand that controls your destiny and will send you to any corner with the next slap!
When Tong Luoyang finished enjoying his breakfast, General Yue finally returned home.
Long Xinyu took advantage of Tong Luoyang to eat, climbed to the top of the highest attic, looked at the entire layout of Dongxu City, weighed the plan in his heart, and then dragged Tong Luoyang to meet General Yue.
General Yue returned to the study room of the General's Mansion. He first saw the Seventh Prince and was stunned for a few seconds. Then a letter came from a flying pigeon, saying that Vice General Xin Bigong would arrive at the border with 10,000 elite troops in about five days. Of course, he also briefly
Let’s talk about the disappearance of the number one scholar Hong Tianshao.
Just before General Yue and his elders could salute the seventh prince, Hong Tianshao, the legendary number one scholar who disappeared after fighting with bandits, appeared in front of his eyes.
Fortunately, General Yue had a very good mental endurance after decades of fighting at the border, so he did not lose his composure in front of the three people.
Tong Luoyang briefly explained the situation of the three people arriving at the border in advance, and then introduced Long Xinyu. When he heard the words "Daughter of Long Qingshan", General Yue's expression changed. According to Long Xinyu's subconscious, it should be
He was extremely honored, admired, etc. Unexpectedly, General Yue just looked at Long Xinyu casually, as if he were a female figure, and then continued to greet Hong Yun.
General Wang's two thousand soldiers and horses completed the escort mission. At this time, they also said hello to General Yue and retreated to Xia'an.
Only Long Xinyu had a few good ideas in her arms that she wanted to offer, but she encountered General Yue's coldness. Now she brought them out, just like putting a hot face on someone's cold butt, so she had no choice but to
remain silent.
After Tong Luoyang and Hong Yun finished speaking in official terms, they looked back at Long Xinyu's face, and then asked Yue Canghai: "Excuse me, general, how often does this bandit invade the border?"
General Yue sighed: "Kou is a small country, but it has always been thinking of encroaching on our border. Every year, it attacks bit by bit, occupying a small area, then builds walls to enclose it and develops, and then bit by bit
Invasions into our border have been unsuccessful in the past ten years because of the construction of walls and reinforcements at the border, so they have resorted to war and robbery.
In the past, we usually attacked the city once every three months. Now that there are floods and droughts, the homeless people are poor, and the Kou State has difficulty maintaining people's livelihood, so they attack once a month, or come to provoke once every half month. No matter how big Dongxu City is, it can only have one attack.
Thousands of elite soldiers, although the Kou State is small, the entire country has thirty thousand troops. If they had not been able to fight for a long time, and our soldiers were all elites, I would have been unable to defend Dongxu City!"
After General Yue finished speaking, he shook his head in shame.
The Tiansheng Dynasty's border gates had three major defenses, namely the east, west and north. Each border gate was guarded by 10,000 elite soldiers. Only in special circumstances and when the war was urgent, would the imperial court be requested for assistance.
Nowadays, the west is still stable, but the east and north are frequently attacked, and they are still defending in such a helter-skelter manner. Yue Canghai is already a little tired at this moment.
After talking, Tong Luoyang and Hong Yun fell silent, especially Hong Yun, who led fifty thousand sand bandits to fight Long Qingshan for more than two years, and admired Long Qingshan's military skills and martial arts.
However, Long Xinyu couldn't bear it anymore and snorted coldly. If she hadn't been worried about Tong Luoyang's face, she might have said the word "idiot".
She has always despised mindless armed fights... Of course, here she automatically ignored the fact that this was not the 21st century.
Just when Yue Canghai was about to redden his eyebrows and green eyes because of this cold snort, Long Xinyu said lightly: "Are all the people at the border vegetarian?"
Yue Canghai immediately exhaled half of the depressed air in his chest, immediately relaxed half of his facial muscles, and asked Long Xinyu: "Miss, what do you mean?"
Long Xinyu slowly moved to the chair, sat down, and then answered: "It's a waste of time. Dongxu City is twice as big as Xiluo City, with tens of thousands of men. If we can, we can recruit 20,000 strong men to participate."
Elite soldier training, joining the army for training in the morning, and going home to farm in the afternoon, not to mention ten years, but even one or two years, there will be three times more troops..."
Before he finished speaking, the three people who had sat down with Long Xinyu suddenly stood up.
One is Tong Luoyang and the other is Yue Canghai.
Long Xinyu waved her hand to Tong Luoyang impatiently: "Sit down, sit down, the Tiansheng Dynasty can't recruit troops privately, right? You can report this matter to the emperor. This is not a recruitment, this is for the special situation at the border, recruiting ordinary people.
Guard your home!"
Then he turned back and glared at Yue Canghai: "Your ten thousand elite soldiers can also open up the wasteland outside the city wall for farming and weaving. In this way, the border customs can be taxed by more than half, reducing the burden on the people. Everyone will be happy to accompany the general to defend their homeland!"
After saying this, Tong Luoyang sat back on the chair, but Yue Canghai suddenly knelt down in front of Long Xinyu: "There are no dog girls in the Humen. The daughter of a general is really extraordinary. It's not like the ladies who don't know the affairs of the world. Miss Long,
How should I thank you, General?"
Hearing this, Long Xinyu's face lit up: "You're welcome, you're welcome, I only have one condition..."
Tong Luoyang almost spit out his tea, and Yue Canghai's expression also froze: "Girl, please tell me..."
Long Xinyu looked at the changes in the two of them. She was laughing so hard that her stomach ached. She rubbed her belly for a long time before she said seriously: "General Yue, I want information about Miao Jiang, all information about Miao Jiang!"
Tong Luoyang covered his heart and started coughing. Yue Canghai also wiped his face in embarrassment, feeling very embarrassed in his heart. He had clearly praised the daughter of a general before, but then he immediately used a villain's heart to measure his conditions.
..
However, you can't blame him. Who told Long Xinyu that the lustful look on his face was so bright when he said "one condition"?
Yue Canghai rubbed his cheeks, finally put on a kind smile, smiled at Long Xinyu and asked: "Excuse me, Miss Long..."
Tong Luoyang finished coughing and cleared his throat before interrupting: "Ahem...she is my prince's direct descendant Fujin..."
Hong Yun finally couldn't hold it in any longer and broke out into a big smile: "Seventh Prince, from the strictest point of view, you are still in the capital, and your direct descendant Fujin should also be in the general's residence. The one who is accompanying the army to visit relatives is
Hong Tianshao, the younger brother of the champion Hong Tianshao! We can guarantee that General Yue is loyal to the emperor, but we cannot be sure that among all the people at the border, there are no men from the fifth prince!"
Yue Canghai frowned and understood. He himself did not want to get involved in the struggle for power among these princes. However, now that the seventh prince's direct descendant Fujin had made such effective suggestions to Bian Guan, he did not want to get involved.
Minding protecting the identity of the Seventh Prince, he immediately changed his name to Long Xinyu: "Young Master Hong, what kind of information do you want about Miao territory?"
Tong Luoyang continued to cover his heart, took a sip of tea gloomily, and glared at Hong Yun fiercely.
Long Xinyu immediately counted on her fingers: "I want a map of the Miao Territory, as detailed as possible. I want various legends, anecdotes, and stories about the Miao Territory. I want the population of the Miao Territory. Now
The situation of the tribe, its rulers, and the seedlings..."
Before she finished speaking, Yue Canghai quickly waved his hand to stop her: "Long... Young Master, this, although Miaojiang is very close to the border, because the tropical rainforest is very strange and dangerous, it is difficult for the reconnaissance soldiers we send out every time.
He came back alive, so he received very little news..."
Long Xinyu was immediately disappointed: "Ah? Very little? How much is very little?"
Yue Canghai walked to the table, took out a stack of very thin brocade cloth, and spread it out in front of Long Xinyu and the others. They only saw a map vaguely drawn on it, with crosses drawn in almost every place.
There are some small words below, indicating: Preliminary estimates are that there are seventeen tribes. Preliminary estimates are that each tribe has between 300 and 800 people. Preliminary estimates are that each tribe has a mage and a clan leader.
.The words at the back are all yellowed and blurred.
Looking further down, words such as swamp, valley, and cliff are written.
Long Xinyu was confused and asked Yue Canghai: "What is this?"
Yue Canghai replied with a wry smile: "This is the last data and information we got about the Miao Territory three years ago. After that, no one can step into the rainforest of the Miao Tribe, because almost every entrance is
