Chapter 40: Collecting the Elephant and Serving the Turtle and the Dragon Flying into the Sky

After the Turtle Clan merged into the Dragon Clan, the number of Dragon Clans reached 1,816 people. Xiao Yiran no longer let them live with the clan as the core as he did when he annexed the three clans of eagles, snakes and tigers, but completely disrupted the various clans and mixed them with each other to avoid the formation of individual small groups within the dragon clan.

Xuan Yun, the patriarch of the turtle clan, and Xuan Lishun, the great wizard, joined the Council of Elders. In view of the fact that there are currently many departments, which have reached eight, it is inevitable that there will be imagination of each other, and Xiao Yiran has set up another organization department. The minister is served by Xuan Yi, and a deputy is selected from each of the three clans of eagles, tigers, tortoises. They are Tianwan who was born in the Eagle Clan, Lin Mei who was born in the Tiger Clan, Xiang Ying who was born in the Elephant Clan, and Xuanzhen who was born in the Turtle Clan. The task of the Organization Department is to be responsible for the performance appraisal of the eight departments and to coordinate the operation of each department. Since then, Xuan Yi has officially become a member of the Presbyterian Church.

Xiao Yiran also deliberately asked Cao Ying to replace Xiao An's position as the Minister of Textiles, and Xiao An, as a great wizard, always followed Xiao Yiran as Xiao Yiran's assistant. And selected a woman named Cao Ling from the clan to join the textile department, making up the original four people.

In order to better manage the clan, Xiao Yiran began to formally teach Xiao An and Xuan Yi the script, so that they could register the clan and convey their orders. When Xiao An and Xuan Yi mastered a certain number of words, the two of them taught them to the ministers and deputies of various departments, and then taught them down the level. Xiao Yiran didn't think of running a school, but he didn't have the energy to do it temporarily, and wanted to wait for the upper echelons of the dragon clan to gradually master the written language, and then the original great wizards of each clan would be responsible for running the school and teaching ordinary people, especially underage children.

With the soldiers of the Elephant Clan and the Turtle Clan, Xiao Yiran first expanded the army. One hundred and fifty people were selected from the soldiers of the Elephant Clan, and fifty people were selected from the soldiers of the Turtle Clan, so that the number of male soldiers under Xiang Lin reached three hundred and fifty. Fifty strong and agile people were selected from the female clansmen, and the original fifty female soldiers were expanded to one hundred, and this women's team, led directly by Xiao Yiran, was temporarily handed over to Xiao An for management, and accompanied by Xiang Lin for training.

There were 450 men and women, which was enough for an independent battalion according to the pre-rebirth unit setup.

Xiao Yiran, who gradually became idle, began to look forward to the return of the four Wei Wu every day. They have been out for almost three months, and there is still no information coming back, which makes Xiao Yiran very uneasy. Whenever he went to bed with the two guards at night, Xiao Yiran would always mention Wei Wu and them, and although the guards were also worried in their hearts, they still kept comforting their emperor. At the same time, in their hearts, they are also secretly grateful to Xiao Yiran, who is both their own emperor and their own woman, and being able to get such care from the emperor is their greatest happiness and the greatest encouragement to them.

After conquering the Elephant Clan and annexing the Turtle Clan, all the houses have been built in the past four months. Lin Zhan, who was stationed in Longshan, also received Xiao Yiran's order to lead a hundred soldiers who were half peasants and half soldiers to escort the wounded soldiers and old people who had recovered from the elephant clan back to the station by the Mengyue River.

Two hundred soldiers who were half peasants and half soldiers, Xiao Yiran had no intention of canceling them, but let them halve the regular army training with Xiang Lin. In the event of a major war, this is also a force that cannot be ignored. With Liang Mu's efforts, the weapons on the smelter's side have been fully able to arm a huge army. With the increase in soldiers, Xiao Yiran ordered Liang Mu to build fifteen chariots, and the dragon clan's chariots had twenty. The eight elephants obtained from the elephant clan were also completely domesticated, and the most majestic male elephant was selected as Xiao Yiran's mount, leaving the female elephant with the young elephant, and the remaining five elephants were all sent to pull the chariot, and one elephant could completely withstand the strength of three or four oxen.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, they finally came back in the sixth month after the departure of the four self-defense warriors. The four members of Wei Wu, including the eight clansmen who went together, all returned safely, although everyone had lost a lot of weight, Xiao Yiran was still very relieved. personally instructed Xiao An to make some delicious food for these twelve warriors, so that they could rest first.

The four of Wei Wu hadn't seen the emperor for nearly six months, and they missed it very much, so they just hurriedly ate a sumptuous meal, cleaned their bodies, and returned to the team to report to Xiao Yiran about the trip and what they had seen. Among the four, Wei Wu and Wei Qian went to the north, and Wei Fei and Wei Tian went to the west.

"Emperor, there are three neighboring ethnic groups 1,500 miles to the north, and the three ethnic groups are very powerful, and each ethnic group has nearly a thousand people. Their adult males were to participate in daily military training, and each of them looked very strong, and they had horses. ”

"How many horses do they have?"

"There are about 100 horses in each group."

"Where's their weapon?"

"The weapons are still the same as our previous ones, mainly javelins, and the heads of the spears are either animal bones or stones."

"You weren't noticed by them, were you?"

"When we were secretly observing them, they accidentally discovered them, and they chased us for nearly a month, and only gave up after more than 500 miles."

Xiao Yiran looked at the emaciated two, reached out and gently stroked their cheeks.

"It's not hurt, is it?"

"No, it's just that we were chased and lost, otherwise we would have come back a long time ago."

"It's good to be back, and if you do such a mission in the future, you must be careful."

Next is Wei Fei's westward journey.

"Emperor, more than 2,000 miles to the west, there is a group, the ethnic groups are relatively weak, each ethnic group has only two or three hundred people, and the largest one is only four hundred. Both the planting and the weapons are quite backward, not as good as when we were at the beginning. ”

"Is your line still smooth?"

"They didn't find it, but it was relatively desolate, there were not many wild beasts, and after eating the food they brought, they often had to go hungry."

"You have all suffered, come back to take care of your body, and strive to recover as much as possible, and the emperor misses you very much. The four of you will sleep at night. ”

With the emperor's comfort, the four of them were sweet and grateful, just now when they were eating, Wei Wen, who came to visit them, had already talked about how the emperor thought about them after they left. When I heard from the emperor's mouth that the emperor also missed them, I was excited for a while. After bowing to the emperor together, they went back to their rooms to rest, looking forward to the early fall of the night, so as to relive the lingering intoxication after more than six months.

This night was unlike any other night. Xiao Yiran felt sorry for the four warriors in his heart, and he wanted to compensate them a little. And the four Wei Wu, because they haven't seen their beloved emperor for a long time, are also extremely lingering. It wasn't until Xiao Yiran was a little exhausted by the four of them that the four of them got clean water and gently scrubbed Xiao Yiran's body, like guarding a jewel that was more precious than his own life, and surrounded Xiao Yiran and fell asleep.

When Xiao Yiran opened her eyes, it was almost noon, and she didn't know when she had fallen asleep, only remembering that her heartless shouting at night seemed to be louder. If it weren't for the fact that the four of them knew that Xiao Yiran was not ready to give birth, and had endured not entering Xiao Yiran's body, even if they took advantage of the situation at that time and combined with Xiao Yiran, Xiao Yiran, who was already addicted to it, did not have the consciousness to reject them at all. Even, Xiao Yiran subconsciously straightened his waist and hips a few times, wanting to swallow their Weijian.
