Chapter 53: Doglegs Praise
As soon as these words came out, the two girls in the dart game looked at me and were silent.
I lowered my head, and my mind quickly recalled the details of the conversation I had had with Scarface last night.
I want to find a clue about the direction of the team involved in the government. "Why are you asking this?" The girl from the dart board asked.
I frowned and asked, "Is the general next to the empress personally asking about the recruitment of Xilan, or is there someone else?!" “
The girl from the dart bureau looked at me with a surprised expression: "Xiaolin, you are the first time to Xilan, and you still know the general?!" ”
I lowered my eyes and thought about it, then raised my head and smiled, "I've heard a lot about Sealand Middle School. ”
"We have relatives in the capital of Sealand, and although I haven't been able to see them there over the years, I still pay attention to the news from Sealand."
Otherwise, it is not enough to explain what I said earlier.
"Besides, the empress's hobbies, you are the people of Sealand, of course you know better."
"She has traveled abroad for most of the time, and I heard that she has also been to the Lake Country, and the one next to her, I guess may be a general."
The two girls looked at each other and said with sincere expressions: "Xiaolin, you are right about one thing, the general is indeed not a stranger to the people of Xilan. ”
"But you know one thing, you don't know the other." The girl's tone paused.
I was slightly stunned, looked at the girl who was talking to me and said, "Far away, maybe some news can't reach the lake country." ”
"I want to hear about it."
"Everyone knows that this place of Sealand is different from other countries, and because of this, the top of the army. Women are overwhelmingly overrepresented by men. ”
"In an army dominated by women, the general is naturally different from other countries, so from the chef in the army, even if it is a miscellaneous officer who distributes supplies, transports grain and horse feed, there is a chance to meet the general himself."
"The empress is in the capital. I also like to pay private interviews with micro-services, and I may appear in a restaurant in the east of the city to drink today, and I will go boating on the lake in the south of the city after a while. ”
"It's her approachable side."
My heart fluttered, and I knew that what I needed to focus on next. "It's true, but Sealand's army can't be compared with the earlier years, and in the past two years it has been secretly expanding in size. So the number of people now is by no means comparable to what it used to be. "No matter how capable the general is, he can't control such a large army, and there are not a few officers who have been promoted by the empress in the past two years." "Even so, even if you disperse some of the power, you have to manage this team. It's still not easy. “
Hearing this, another girl from the dart game interjected: "But isn't it, now that so many people have been recruited, and then the team is expanded, it will be even more difficult." ”
The ability to grasp the overall situation, sometimes because of gender differences, after all, there is a gap between men and women, and women pay more attention to details. This is a fact that I know in my heart no matter how much I avoid it.
After a moment of thought, a thought came to my mind, and I looked at the girl who had analyzed the composition of the army with me suspiciously, and said, "Sister." How did you know that? “
The affairs of the army are somewhat secretive. "Three of her sisters are in the army, and her eldest sister is one of the newly promoted officers in the past two years."
I was stunned and said, "Is it in charge of this Yuzhou conscription?" “
No way! But if you don't explain it this way, I think it's strange that I don't see the announcement they said in my impression, is it that there is internal news?!
The girl shook her head and said, "No." It's a few hundred miles away. He was sent to preside. "When I set off from the national capital to escort the bodyguard, the eldest sister left earlier than me."
I mentioned the announcement thing. The two of them smiled back and forth, changing the solemn and dull atmosphere of the army just now. "That's a real announcement, how can you question this, when I was eating this morning, there were still people going out to see, and there was a notice from the boss on the street corner outside the inn." "By the way, I didn't see Xiao Lin in the morning, probably he didn't see it."
I can only return with an embarrassed smile, I didn't see that I was so busy, and I had to disguise and hide from tracking all night.
In the morning, I finally got a chance to sneak back, but Ji Jiu intercepted me halfway with a pestle like a door god, and after a conversation, everyone's mood was not very happy, and I didn't even eat a bite of breakfast.
Hurrying out of town, fortunately I was wise enough to choose their car.
At this moment, I once again had the idea of leaving this team, so I was free, but unfortunately Scarface couldn't let me directly into the team.
I need his help, and I've got to be a man with my tail between my legs!
It's so depressing! I sighed and said, "I'll be able to get to Sealand in a few days, I'm walking so slowly." “
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whistle, followed by the whip twitching, the horses screamed for joy, and the carriage suddenly moved forward at an alarming speed.
Luckily, the girl from the dart board reached out and grabbed me, otherwise I would have hit my head on the wall of the carriage. "What's going on?" I said in horror, "Did it understand me?!" “
The girl in the dart game laughed wildly, and finally one of them couldn't help it, reached out and pinched my face, and then said, "The horse in our dart game is not just a random one. “
The wind poured in through the window, and I suddenly thought of a possibility, grabbed the window frame firmly with one hand, and poked my head out to look!
The sight is of the wilderness, boundless.
The sky is vast and wild, the wind blows the grass and the grass is low, and I don't see cattle and sheep!
"This is already in Yubei?!" I cheered in surprise.
"Needless to say, otherwise what do you think the signal to catch the car just now is?!"
The girl from the dart game looked at me amusedly, and lowered her head and stroked her fingers gently, as if she was reminiscing about the feeling just now, but I didn't see it.
Nonsense, I pretended not to see it even if I saw it, otherwise with my current identity, how embarrassed I am.
But she just mentioned the signal?!
I guess it was the sudden whistle!
"Yes, that's a reminder that we're about to let go of speed."
Both of them were proud: "The horses in the dart game are the best horse farms in the north of Sealand, carefully selected by the masters. ”
"The average bandit wants to have a carjacking idea. It can't keep up with us at all. ”
"These horses are usually used to being suppressed, and they rarely can spread their hooves and run for fun, and now they are also stained, which is a rare opportunity."
Galloping on the grassland. It was so refreshing that I even ignored the fact that a girl in the dart game pinched my face just now.
Anyway, on Sealand territory, many times for men and women are reversed.
Besides, it's me who pinched her, it's me! It's not Ji Jiu, it's really not taking advantage of me.
The carriage galloped on the Yubei prairie at an extremely cheerful speed, and it didn't take long. I couldn't be happier.
After the initial excitement passed, the side effect of running all the way was that my face became more and more pale.
After all, they were not born on the grassland, and they are not as strong as the girls in the dart game, but fortunately, there is a sick seedling in the back car.
If I don't fall, he will fall first.
Didn't wait for me to ask. Sister Li has already ordered the team to slow down!
After rushing quickly and slowly for more than half an hour, I finally arrived at the village where I could see people.
In fact, the horse farm in this area was not originally a village strictly speaking.
At first, because many people in Yuzhou City raised horses on the grassland, and then because of the increase in horse farms, more and more people joined this industry.
At the foot of the mountain, horse farms are connected, and houses are built, gradually forming a village-like scale. It's just that each house is farther apart.
This kind of village-like places are scattered throughout Yubei, and there are many places.
We arrived at a place that was relatively far away from Yushan but close to Yuzhou.
As soon as the carriage stopped. Before I could go down, I heard a voice from the side of the car behind me.
When he got out of the car, Ji Jiu leaned on the side of the car as if he had collapsed, and Sister Li was carefully handing him water.
After taking care of him for a while, Ji Jiu slowly recovered after drinking water and resting.
Sister Li unloaded her burden and temporarily put aside her children's love as the leader of the team. It was only at this moment that she took out the map from the compartment that I had always wanted to see.
Map!
When I saw that map, it was like a divine help!
I don't get dizzy anymore. My head is not dizzy, and I am not nauseous because of the car bump just now. My whole body lifted my spirits!
Yes! I leaned over and approached Sister Li excitedly, wanting to see the road map above.
Sister Li rarely moved away and glared at me, with a slight disgust in her eyes!
She first blamed me for not being so stubborn, because I refused to share the car with them because of a few words, and blamed me for not caring about my "big brother" who was dedicated to my good.
I lowered my head and listened without saying a word, thinking that with the eldest sister you here, what can I do!
Wouldn't it be better to leave you alone?!
Are you sure you want to blame me, not because you are grateful to me, or because there is deep gratitude behind the blame, I doubt it.
Sister Li is also a cheerful temper, and she disappeared after a few words.
I leaned over to look at the map again, and this time, she pointed me to the inscrutable signs for fear that I wouldn't understand. "Xiaolin, take a look, the road on the map, marked with a red line, is the nearest path to the north official road, and you have to pass through the col of Yushan."
She ran her finger over the map dot to show me.
Sister Li glanced worriedly at Ji Jiu, who was leaning on the side of the car, and said, "Hey, I knew that they would be slower." ”
"I asked him at the beginning, and he said it was okay."
Sister Li sighed: "Sure enough, how weak a man is"
My back smack!
"Now your eldest brother is not in a good condition, and besides, we also want to rest in the grassland for one night."
"Then take a detour, rest in the village at the foot of the mountain tonight, and then continue tomorrow morning."
After Sister Li finished speaking, she patted me on the shoulder and said, "I'll talk to the owner of the horse farm later, and ask her to let us stay for one night and take a walk around the neighborhood by the way." “
I nodded my head again and again, and the dogleg agreed! (To be continued)
