The Ha family mansion is not so much a "mansion" as it is another castle that stands on the east side of Nami Castle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Nearly ten meters high, the two-meter-wide enclosure encloses several huge multi-storey buildings made of stone bricks, with three rows of shooting holes in the wall, topped by a female wall. The wall is divided into two floors, corresponding to three rows of shooting holes, each connected by a long ladder and a staircase. At the corner of the wall there is a fifteen-metre-high lookout, and there are six more such lookouts on the inside of the wall.

The multi-storey building inside the walls also has a defensive function and is aesthetically pleasing, which is typical of the Ira-style fortress architecture. Aqueducts were installed on the sloping roof of the fortress to channel rainwater into the reservoirs. There is a well inside the mansion, and outside the mansion is a field under the name of the Yu family, and there is a small hut at the intersection of the field path where the tenants can stay and rest.

The mansion and the land around the mansion belong to the Yu family, so this land is also called the "Yu family". But this is just a title, the Yu family is not a village, but an independent territory.

If the twenty-nine villages are compared to a country, then the Yu family is a country within a country. This is the private territory of the Yu family, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Nami Monks, but the entire Yu family will be loyal to the Nami Monks, and it is the only one in the Twenty-Nine Villages that the whole clan is loyal to the Nami Monks.

In addition to the Yu family, there are other big clans in the Twenty-Nine Village, and they also have this kind of private territory, but they do not owe allegiance to the Nami Monk, but only unilaterally recognize the Nami Monk as the master of the Twenty-Nine Village.

The mediocre is nepotistic, and Nami Jushi is not a mediocre person, but there is only one family she can trust, so the Yu family basically monopolizes the military and political power in the 29 villages, and more than 80% of the officials in the 29 villages are surnamed Yu. With their loyalty to the Nami monks and the rational use of power in their hands, the Yu family became the number one clan in the Twenty-Nine Villages.

Among the cavalry brought by Nanyi Jushi on the expedition, the brigade of more than 400 cavalry was the soldiers and horses of the Yu family, and it was the only reliable unit in the army. And the brigade of more than 600 cavalry was jointly provided by other major clans, and its combat effectiveness and morale were not high, and the cavalry that fled back to the coalition camp and caused a riot came from this brigade.

The day before Maier and his party arrived in Village 29, the messenger of Nami Layman returned. Due to the defeat in the first battle, many people were killed and wounded in the 29th Village, and they urgently needed to be replenished. The Nami monks asked the villages and the major clans to provide reinforcements, and according to the old rules, the villages sent out the infantry, and the big clans sent cavalry.

The letter was sent directly to Yu Changnian, so Nami did not hide the defeat in the first battle. After reading the letter, Yu Changnian burned the letter directly, and then summoned all the patriarchs and village chiefs of the big clans to directly convey the order of Nanyi Jushi to increase the troops, and never mentioned the defeat in the first battle.

After some deliberation, two more cavalry brigades of 300 people were formed in the 29th Village, one of which was from the Yu family, and 3,000 infantrymen. Because Nanyi Jushi was in a hurry in the letter, Yu Changnian personally led reinforcements to Shangjin County and handed over all the 29 villages to Yu Mingli to take care of.

So when Maier and his entourage came to the Yu family's mansion, Yu Changnian was not at home. Yu Changnian before leaving, Maier? Byron informed his daughter of his possible visit, so even though Yu Changnian was not there, Maier and his party were warmly welcomed by the Yu family.

That night, Yu Mingli held a grand reception banquet for Maier and his party. At the banquet, Yu Mingli ignored Yishan and Ulis, who were higher-status, and arranged Maier in the guest seat on his right, which made the two very unhappy. However, this is not rude, although the status of the two is higher than that of Maier, but Maier is the protagonist of the reception banquet, and it is normal for him to sit first in the guest seat. Yishan and Euris were not angry, so they could only look at Yu Mingli, who was talking passionately with Meier, with a little star almost popping out of their eyes.

"Ling Zun is really afraid of tattooed beans?"

It is a food produced in the world of Ira, which has high nutritional and medicinal value, but has a very bad taste. It was produced in low quantities and sold at a high price, which only the wealthy could afford. But because it tastes so bad, it is rarely brought to the table by wealthy families, and is usually used for children and sick people.

The poor treat this food as a rich meal, and many nouveau riche will bring the beans to the table and eat them with a disgusting taste. When chewing, they will deliberately show that they enjoy it, as if they have become a real rich person if they do so.

"Yes, in the end, it was his mother who threatened him that as long as his cold was not cured, she would ignore him, and then he pinched his nose and boiled the beans and ate the clover."

Centifolia is a coniferous plant, a medicine produced in the world of Taejong that works wonders for treating colds and fevers. But like the bean, it tastes very bad, but it tastes a little better than the bean. As soon as you eat the tattooed beans, you will feel like you want to empty your internal organs, and the clovers are just so bitter that people can't accept them.

"Isn't Ling Zun afraid of the clovers?"

"He's not afraid of a clover." Maier shrugged his shoulders, "He said that hardship is a man's essential skill, and if he can't even endure this bit of hardship, then what kind of man is he?" ”

"Gray? Mr. Barrons is a great man. ”

Every time Maier finished talking about a topic, Yu Mingli's eyes would light up and she would praise her, even if Maier was talking about Gray's troubles.

"Lord Maier, it is said that Ling Zun once single-handedly swept away the coalition of several bandit groups, but is this the case?"

"Ah, you mean that."

Maier smiled helplessly, shoved a grape into his mouth with his two-toothed fork, chewed it, and continued.

"Yes, yes, but not what you say."

According to Gray, he just happened to run into two bandits eating in the dark, and one of the robbers wanted to make a profit. He felt that there was an opportunity, so he stayed on the top of the hill to watch the excitement, and when they were almost done fighting, he swaggered out and routed the remaining robbers, taking the supplies they were fighting for.

He couldn't take so many things with him, so he had to loot the valuable things and return them to the village where he had stayed before, so that they could divide the rest of the supplies. After that, the story of Gray single-handedly defeating several bandit bandits spread in the local area.

"Ling Zun is really brave and strategic, which is really admirable!"

Yu Mingli's praise made Maier cry and laugh, in fact, Gray said it himself when he finished talking about it, he was just lucky, as long as he had a little brain, and then he had enough strength, he could change anyone.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Maier is already a little tired, but Yu Mingli is still in good spirits, and he wants to put Maier's stomach in Gray? The look of Byrons's information hollowed out.

"That...... His Excellency the Attorney-General ......"

"Your Excellency Maier is not polite, just call me Mingli."

Yu Mingli's face was slightly red, his posture was twisted, and his gaze became a little evasive. She seemed to want to ask something, but she was too embarrassed to ask. Myr sensed her thoughts, and said generously.

"Then you're welcome, Mingli. Mingli doesn't have to be polite, just call me Maier in the future, if there is anything you want to ask, you must not be polite. But it's getting late, and I'm almost getting older, and I'll only be able to answer one more question at most, after which I'll go back to my room and rest. ”

"Hmm...... That...... You're welcome then...... Meyer. ”

Yu Mingli took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to ask with a red face.

"Please, may I ask, does Ling Zun have any plans to take a concubine?"

"Poof!!!!

Yishan and Ulis, who were drinking sullen wine on the side, heard this and sprayed the wine all over the table.

I think you're a friend, but you want to be my mom - Mel, too, choked half to death, quickly picked up the empty wine glass and took a sip, swallowing the air in his mouth along with the saliva into his stomach.

"This ...... Belch...... Father's ...... Next...... Before the despicable man descended the mountain, my father did not talk about it. ”

"Hmph, unclean!"

Euris wiped her mouth with her sleeve, looked at Yu Mingli with disdain, and raised her voice again.

"Unclean! It's unclean! ”

Yu Mingli and Gray? The age difference of Byron must have been more than ten years, which was *** unclean in the eyes of the Dugu people. If Maier wasn't there, Euris would have poured a bowl of wine over and spat at Yu Mingli.

"Mel, I don't want to live under the same roof with the unclean, shall we leave here and go to live at Nami Castle?"

Mel was taught by Gray, and he knew the customs of various countries, so he could understand Ullist's thoughts. Yishan also has a certain understanding of the ethics of the ancient people, so she didn't make a sound. But Yu Mingli didn't know anything about the culture of the Dugu people, so Uris made her angry.

"People say what is in their hearts, and they say what they say. Her Royal Highness the princess is unclean one by one, and her heart must be full of filth. If you want to leave, I won't stop you, you can leave now, and I will save the need to invite the shrine maiden to 'remove the obscurity'." But Maier is my guest, and you have no right to take him with you. ”

"Hmph, when people say what they are, they think of others as they are. If you say that my heart is filthy and my mouth is unclean, and you don't mention what kind of person I am, the filth and uncleanness in your heart must have gone. To tell you the truth, Mel is my sweetheart, and I think he is more precious than my pupils, and I don't want him to be contaminated with anything unclean, lest I have to go all the way from China to summon spiritual teachers to perform 'cleansing rites' for him. ”

In Yishan's opinion, Yu Mingli asked Gray directly? Whether Byron has any plans to take a concubine, or Urlis's high-profile confession to Myer, are all "shameless" behaviors. But the words of both have been said here, and if she stands up and speaks again, it will be tantamount to humiliating herself, so she can only obediently close her mouth and not speak.

Seeing that Yu Mingli and Euris were paying attention to each other, Yishan had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and quietly pulled Maier's sleeve, squeezed her eyes at him, and motioned for him to quickly leave this place of right and wrong with her.

Maier felt that the two of them had quarreled because of Gray, and that it was necessary for him to stay here to persuade him to fight, so he refused to leave. Seeing that Maier refused to leave, Yishan pursed her lips and sulked on the side. The little woman's gesture made Maier feel itchy in her heart, so she reached out and touched Yishan's head.

The moment Myer's fingers touched Yishan's hair, she bared her teeth at Maier like a fried cat, and her expression became incomparably rich, as if she was talking with her face.

Why did you touch my head all of a sudden?!

Do you think that's all it takes to comfort me? Think beautifully!

I won't be happy! Not at all! Absolutely not!

It's just a touch on the head...... It won't ...... Uh-huh...... So happy......

Maier looked at the happy smile on Yishan's face and showed an incredible expression.

It's so easy to coax!?

Euris and Yu Mingli didn't notice what happened on Yishan's side, and were still arguing about Maier's whereabouts. However, they all forgot that whether they won or lost, it was up to Mel to decide whether he would stay or not.

Since Uris refuses to live in the Yu family, Mel eventually decides to live at Nami Castle. After the banquet ended hastily, Maier and his party left the Yu family mansion and set off in the direction of Nami Castle.

Just as Maier and his party were about to arrive at Nami Castle, the beacon towers in the 29th Village were lit one after another, and the alarm bells rang one after another.
