Chapter 38: The Four Great War Zones
"Miss!" On the way back to the courtyard, Qiaoya stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Xue Ying's eyes, "Why are you distracted again." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Nothing. Xue Ying replied casually. A while ago, she flipped through the books in the study and found a lot of books that recorded contemporary geography and people's feelings, one of which mentioned the "four major war zones" in Dagu: the Northern Xinjiang Theater, the Tongge Theater, the Jinshui Theater and the Huanglong Theater that was firmly defended in Anjing.
Among them, the strongest and most extensive area is the Northern Xinjiang Theater responsible for resisting the northern plains, which straddles the two major passes of Dongguan in the north and Zhongguan in the northwest, which is not only the basic guarantee for sticking to the northern border of Dagu, but also the core of ensuring peace in Dagu.
The symbol of the Northern Xinjiang Theater of Operations is a spear, the shape of which is very abstract and simple and inconspicuous, so she remembered it at once. And on the boots of that bearded Uncle Gu, that inconspicuous logo was embroidered.
Because she had encountered desertion incidents before, she paid special attention to the relevant information of the Dagu army and knew some specific rules in the army, such as the uniform production of all soldiers' clothes, including underwear. It was the bearded Uncle Gu's undershirt that caught her eye and drew her attention to the inconspicuous logo on his boots.
In other words, this bearded Uncle Gu is a soldier in the Northern Xinjiang Theater, and it seems that his position is not low. Thinking of the deserters who had fled here and caused a stir, it was not difficult to guess that his visit might have something to do with it.
He promised Zhao Zhuangtou that he would deal with it well and leave no trouble, he was talking about those deserters, right?
It turned out that Zhao Zhuangtou and Wang Orion still had this relationship with the people in the army, no wonder they were able to "clean up" those deserters in the first place.
Thinking of this, her heart was finally relieved that she could minimize the impact of that incident, and the best result was nothing more than that.
When she was distracted, Qiaoya kept muttering to herself, and when she came back to her senses, the topic had turned to 108,000 miles away.
“…… Juyi said that the weather is very good during this time, and asked us when we will dry the books!"
"What books?" she asked.
"It's the books in the study. I heard that there has always been a rule in the Zhuangzi that when the weather is fine at the beginning of summer, those books should be taken out and dried to prevent insects or dampness. ”
"Oh. "No wonder those books haven't been broken after so many years, it turns out that there have been some in the Zhuangzi that have been taking care of them. However, in previous years, the people in the Zhuangzi could enter and leave the yard regularly and clean up the things inside, but now that she lives in the yard, the people in the Zhuangzi can't be disturbed casually according to the rules, and this matter is probably going to fall on Uncle Shunzi and Zhao Hu.
"Tomorrow the master is resting, we have time anyway, why don't we dry the books?" she proposed.
"Okay!" For Qiaoya, as long as she is not studying, she can do anything. And she also came up with another suggestion without a teacher, "Put the book down on the roof to dry, the effect is better." ”
"You just want to play!" Xue Ying smiled.
Qiaoya didn't care about her teasing, and planned happily: "I'll go to my father and mother to discuss, and I'll do the heavy work of going to the roof, and I'll definitely do it properly......"
"Sister......" A voice sounded behind the two.
The two looked back, and a small head appeared from the corner of the mountain road, and then the whole body was revealed. Qiaoya wondered: "Bolt, when did you run out?"
"I've already gone down the mountain. The bolt caught up, "Daddy let me go down the mountain." ”
"What for?"
"I don't know. "The bolt is still silly and silly," Uncle Wang asked me to hide, saying that as long as no one found out, he would teach me to play hide and seek in the future. ”
"You're already very good, why do you want to teach you?" Qiaoya was not convinced: every time she played hide and seek, she lost to this younger brother, and her sister was very faceless, okay?!
"But I like it. The bolt was stunned.
Qiaoya suddenly lost her temper and pouted.
Only Xue Ying knew that this "hide and seek" was definitely not as simple as a children's game, the last time they met, Wang Orion had said that the bolt was a "good seedling", and it seemed that it was now testing him, and then-"Uncle Wang wants to collect the bolt as an apprentice, right?" she said.
"Huh?" Qiao Ya happened to see Wang Orion behind him today, and was worshipping, and when she heard Xue Ying say this, she suddenly became interested: "Really, Wang Orion, he is amazing, I saw him compete with that bearded man today......
"Well, you've already said that. Xue Ying reluctantly interrupted her words and asked the bolt, "Later, did you pass the test?"
"I don't know. "The plug scratches his head.
Xue Ying continued to ask, "Did they find you?"
The embolus shook his head.
"That's passed!" Qiaoya applauded warmly.
Xue Ying thought about it and felt that it was wrong: "Did you hide in Zhao Zhuangtou's house just now?" Did you hear the conversation between Zhao Zhuangtou, Uncle Wang, and that Uncle Gu?"
The plug was a little frustrated: "I only heard a little bit, if I tried to hear it clearly, I might be discovered." ”
"You're already very powerful!" Qiao Ya patted him on the shoulder and said, "Today, San Lang Shiro, Wu Lang and Liulang have been arrested, you are even better than them!"
The plug grinned slightly.
"Then what did you hear?" Xue Ying asked. She was still quite curious about the matter of the bearded Uncle Gu, after all, it was about the follow-up of the "deserter incident".
The bolt thought for a while: "It seems that he said something about the wine prince, saying that someone was drunk, so he pushed the wine prince to death." ”
"Wine Prince?" Qiao Ya felt that this title was a little familiar, thought about it for a while, and then suddenly, "Oh, they are talking about the Nine Emperor Princes, the one who was sent to the border pass because of his dragon energy, ......" Speaking of this, she hurriedly lowered her voice, "The Nine Emperor Princes who were sent to the border pass to suppress the war!"
Xue Ying also remembered that Qiao Ya had mentioned before that the day they left Anjing City to come to Jiuquan Beizhuang was also the day when the legendary Nine Emperor Princes were sent to the border pass.
I don't know how old this Nine Emperor Princes is. From the information I got from Qiaoya, I felt that this person was a little pitiful, and he was expelled from the border by his father, and he was called to suppress the war, but in fact he was sent to death.
In comparison, Xue Ying, who suffered from dementia at the beginning, was abandoned by her mother and sent here to be free-range, which is not too miserable.
"That'...... What happened to the Nine Emperors?" she asked softly.
"Dead. The plug replied.
"Dead?!" exclaimed.
“…… And then it was born again. The bolt added uncertainly.
Qiaoya was confused: "What's wrong?"
"Escaped death?" Xue Ying guessed.
"Yes. The plug nodded, "That's what I said." ”
"Whew. Qiaoya covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and then taught her younger brother, "Bolt, you must study hard in the future, otherwise you won't even understand what others say." ”
Xue Ying felt familiar when she heard this: this seems to be what she often said when she was educating Qiaoya, right?
This girl is still used!
