We rested for another day in the country of Qiu, this is the dragon and phoenix alliance officially set off to return to the daughter country, Qi, Chu, Yan and Han monarchs and generals are lined up to see us off, my mother and Prince Yun reaffirmed at the border that the future will always be an alliance, hand in hand to resist the enemy's purpose, then happy to disperse. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On this day, we have set foot on the territory of the daughter country, Geng Ling, Wu Ying, Yu Manli and others are full of emotion, at the beginning of the run all the way, embarrassed, now the homeland has returned, everyone has become a majestic general, carrying tens of thousands of male soldiers, the people of the daughter country greet each other, the Feifeng Army is not enough, the soldiers of the Feilong Army are pointed at for the first time to visit, they can't help but blush, all of them are forced to be calm, but also the military appearance is clean.

Yu Manli and Zhang drove the tiger side by side, looking at the nose and nose and asking the mouth, his big knife was placed on a carriage to accompany him, and the spectators were all moved, and there was a rich woman wearing a silk Luo who saw the wound of the object, and sobbed: "My door panelβ€”β€”"

We passed through Xiangzhou Yuzhou, and were unexpectedly blocked at the gate of the city by tens of thousands of troops with unknown banners outside the city of Yuezhou, my mother and Prince Yun were surprised, I never thought that someone in the daughter country would make such a loud noise unconsciously and I didn't realize it, my mother wanted to make the Feifeng Army prepare for battle, Geng Ling took the lead and came to the opposite army and said loudly: "Let your commander come out and talk to me." ”

After a while, a person on the opposite side rode out on horseback, bowed down and saluted Geng Ling, "See the commander." ”

Wu Ying, Yu Manli and the others were surprised: "Liu Jing? ”

It turned out that the commander of the other party was actually Liu Jing, when I went to Prince Yun's Mansion "Ping Demon", Liu Jing was also sent by Geng Ling, saying that he was going to do a big thing, and now goodbye, she is already the commander of tens of thousands of people.

Liu Jingdao: "Report to the commander, the last general was ordered to recruit soldiers for the Flying Dragon Army, and more than 60,000 people have been recruited here." ”

Everyone suddenly realized that Geng Ling originally wanted Liu Jing to recruit soldiers, and she had recruited 60,000 people in just a few months.

Geng Ling said: "You have worked hard. ”

Prince Yun snorted, his face was very ugly, Geng Ling stepped forward and said: "Prince Yun forgive me, I recruited soldiers and horses without authorization to resist Hegis and tighten our border passes, now that the war is over, where should these people go, please send the prince, just a word from you, I will dismiss them." ”

Prince Yun frowned and said: "I can't do such a big thing, but the Flying Dragon Army is too big to enter Beijing, so I ask Commander Geng to take a few generals to meet the saint with me, and the rest of the people will temporarily camp here and wait for the emperor's will." ”

Geng Ling said: "Yes! ”

Wu Ying, Xiao Yan and Qi Xiaohuan and others saw Liu Jingdu and stepped forward to reminisce, it turned out that Liu Jingdang said that he brought a batch of materials to recruit soldiers, at that time the Feilong Army had become famous in a war, and the oppressed men in the daughter country were everywhere, Liu Jing recruited 10,000 people without much effort, and the team was too flamboyant to walk in the state and county, so it was even more uncontrollable, and now these 60,000 people are afraid that they will disturb the state capital, so they have to temporarily stationed outside the city of Yuezhou, I heard that our class teacher, Liu Jingsuo's surname is here waiting for us to meet.

Wu Ying said: "Don't look at our scenery on the front line, if you want to talk about the merits, Liu Jing is bigger." ”

Geng Ling said seriously: "That's a good thing, Hegis is too powerful, I was determined to burn the jade and fight with it, but I think that even if we all die in battle, the banner of the Flying Dragon Army can't be wiped out, so I sent Liu Jing to do this big thing." He took Liu Jing's hand and said, "You did a good job in this matter!" ”

Liu Jing blushed and said, "If you say that, I'll be content." ”

I looked at it strangely on the side, and suddenly asked, "Liu Jing, why did you save Geng Ling in the first place?" ”

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, and said: "At that time, he broke an arm, and he was still gritting his teeth and scolding, I ...... I've never seen a man like this......"

I carried Geng Ling on my shoulder: "Do you hear something interesting?" ”

Geng Ling: "Huh? ”

"Are you a fool?"

Geng Ling was even more inexplicable.

At this time, Liu Jing suddenly said seriously: "Commander, political commissar, brothers, I want to resign from all positions in the army immediately. ”

Geng Ling was surprised: "Why is this? ”

Liu Jingdao: "After all, the Flying Dragon Army is a man's world, in fact, I have long felt powerless, and I ask the commander and political commissar not to force me anymore." ”

Geng Ling said: "But you have been doing a good job." ”

I hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I agree with your resignation, it's important to charge into battle, and it's even more important to be a good military wife to help us stabilize the rear!" ”

Geng Ling hurriedly said, "Xiaolong, what are you doing here?" ”

I asked Geng Ling in a low voice: "People have shown their hearts to you, do you like Liu Jing honestly?" ”

"I never thought about it!"

"Then you want to do it now!" I said, "You don't want her to be your left hand?" ”

"It's enough for me to have a right hand."

I was speechless, and I almost said, "You deserve to be lonely for a lifetime", I smiled and said, "Although the right hand is good, it is not as good as the real warm fragrant nephrite." ”

Only then did everyone understand, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization, Geng Ling blushed and stomped his feet: "You group of prodigal goods!" Saying that, he ran aside, after all, the man in this daughter country still has a psychological shadow, and such a big commander was ashamed to run away.

I smiled and said to Liu Jing: "Congratulations on your merits, from a side dish chef to a boss lady." ”

The female bandit Mei Lihong smiled and said, "It seems that if I fancy any gentleman, I will have to resign." ”

Xiao Yan said: "What do you think of me? ”

Mei Lihong shook her head and said: "You are a salt lord, I am a bandit, my profession is too similar and there is no sense of mystery, I still like our political commissar." ”

Xiao Yan said disdainfully: "You don't even dare to rob Su Jing and their things, and you dare to rob a man with Su Jing?" ”

Mei Lihong laughed: "That's what I said. ”

While everyone was talking and laughing, Qin Yiwu glanced over to this side with a lonely expression, I walked over and said hello to her, she also smiled, and the two of us slowly left the crowd and walked along the city wall.

After walking for about five or six minutes, Qin Yiwu said: "As soon as you return to your daughter country, you and Su Jing are going to hold a big gift, right?" ”

"Yes."

Qin Yiwu smiled slightly and said, "Then you have to be careful." ”

"What am I watching out for?"

Qin Yiwu said: "Getting married in the daughter country, you are going to marry the Su family, as far as I know, you are not from the daughter country, so I remind you to be prepared." ”

"Uh...... "I don't know what to say."

Qin Yiwu smiled again: "I'm not provoking you, I like you, but it's not to the point where you won't marry, and you don't have to have any burden." ”

I asked, "If it weren't for me, would you withdraw your troops?" ”

Qin Yiwu said: "It depends on how you say this, if there is no you, of course I don't have to withdraw my troops, but if you are replaced by another sword god, I still can't withdraw my troops." ”

"What do you mean?"

Qin Yiwu said: "If you are a brave and ruthless person, I can only fight hard, so I appreciate your martial arts, and I appreciate your personality even more, you have compassion and know how to stop in moderation." They all say that you are the reincarnation of the sword god, but I don't really believe in this statement, I heard the old ministers in the court say that the last sword god was a ruthless person. ”

"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of this. ”

Qin Yiwu said: "In the last battle between Hegis and the Federation Continent, there were actually many opportunities for peace talks, but that sword god in the previous life repeatedly provoked trouble, or he would have killed my Hegis soldiers, which caused everyone to hate the enemy, and the final result was that both sides were defeated, if he didn't die, he might not have to fight for a long time." ”

I said, "As a Hegith, of course you want to say that he provoked trouble, and the people of the Federation Continent also remember his merits?" ”

Qin Yiwu said: "Those are all children who have never seen the sword god in the previous life, you go and ask those old people, which one is not silent when it comes to the sword god in the previous life, in the end, everyone is only afraid of him, but there is no respect." ”

I didn't believe it: "Then why does the daughter country still want to find him back?" ”

Qin Yiwu said: "If you don't find the sword god in the previous life to come back, the daughter country and the Honglie Empire will be wiped out immediately, so I have to find this evil god from the right to come back, and I will talk about the rest later." ”

I spread my hands and said, "Am I like a god?" If I am not him, then how do you explain my martial arts? ”

Qin Yiwu said: "Then I don't know, but I don't believe that a person's surname can change so much, anyway, I don't believe it, so I withdrew my troops to respect you as a person, but also for the sake of the country, you don't have to feel too good about yourself, but ......"

"But what?"

Qin Yiwu smiled and said, "It's nothing." ”

I also laughed and said, "Then I'm down-to-earth." ”

…… Geng Ling left the Flying Dragon Army outside the city of Yuezhou, only accompanied by the middle and high-level of the army, his expression couldn't help but be a little dignified, his worry I also understand, on the occasion of employing people, the Flying Dragon Army is fragrant, and now that the dust has settled, the real life and death of this army is coming, the Flying Dragon Army is too popular, and it is not the queen's lineage, in the special national conditions of the daughter country, the future is in danger. It's no wonder that Geng Ling can't relax.

On this day, the army arrived at the outskirts of the capital, and there were countless Ayara umbrellas in the distance, and it turned out that the empress personally took the wind here, and the old mother hurriedly led everyone forward to salute.

The Empress stood there with a smile, walked a few steps to help everyone, exchanged a few words of greeting with everyone, and then ordered the army to be sacrificed on the spot, and held a banquet in the palace to entertain everyone.

At the banquet, the empress toasted to Lao Wu, Jin Chengwu and others in turn, and then Su Jing and Geng Ling, but never looked at me and my mother, our mother and son couldn't help but glance at each other, to say that according to the order of the guest host, Lao Wu They are not daughters and have made great contributions, and they should respect first, but then it should be the turn of the mother, and the empress stayed at the banquet for a while and then got drunk and left the throne. Geng Ling kept asking me for my auspicious intentions, and I could only shake my head and smile bitterly.

It seems that our mother and son have committed the taboo of the empress, for the emperor, the mind is difficult to guess, fortunately, my mother is ready to retire, and it is a big deal to be an idle nobleman in the future, at this time, the empress's personal maid Aunt Cao announced privately, saying that the empress was going to summon me and my mother in Lingsheng Pavilion.

When I arrived at Lingsheng Pavilion, the empress was sitting there and was silent, and when she saw her mother come in, the empress said, "Old sister, you have deceived me so hard." ”

The old mother hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Zhao Fanghua is a capital crime!" ”

The empress walked up to help her mother and said, "Of course you are guilty of deceiving the king, but your sin is less than one in ten million!" ”

The old mother sighed and said, "The emperor doesn't need to say much, please allow the ministers to return to their hometowns." ”

The empress said: "Resolutely no, who will take the Feifeng Army when you leave?" Besides, which hometown do you want to go back to? ”

The old mother was stunned and said: "If the emperor is willing to give the general's mansion to the minister, the minister will be grateful for his grace, but the military power will never be touched again, Li Wei and Zhao are all handsome in the Feifeng army, and the emperor can choose to appoint one." ”

The empress shrugged her nose and said: "Old sister, why don't you understand my mind, the Feifeng Army is only led by you, it's not that I can't trust the two generals Zhao and Li, it's just that the old sister is in your prime, why don't you want to share my worries and solve problems?" ”

The old mother said: "Your Majesty, if you talk about it in detail, the minister can't be regarded as a member of the daughter country, and this heavy responsibility can't be taken on anymore no matter what." ”

The empress said: "What does it matter, in terms of merit you are greater than any of the people of the daughter country, besides-you really never considered yourself a member of the daughter country?" ”

At this time, Prince Yun came in from the door and said with a smile: "I knew that the two monarchs and ministers were going to have a dispute, no, sure enough!" ”

My mother told her life experience again, how she traveled to her daughter's country to become a small soldier, and gradually became a general, and even completely revealed my identity, and finally said: "The minister has come to this point, it is nothing more than the word for livelihood, Xiaolong can do his best for His Majesty, and it is all by mistake, Your Majesty will offset the merits of our mother and son." ”

The empress said: "Your mother and son, a general of the Flying Phoenix Army and the founder of the Flying Dragon Army, if I had rebelled, my surname would have been lost, doesn't this show your loyalty?" ”

After all, my mother has been an official for many years, and she was surprised when she heard the emperor say such things. I said on the side: "Sister, I'm really not interested in your country." ”

My mother glared at me and said, "Bastard! ”

The empress said with a smile: "My brother's words are to the point, and they are more convincing than thousands of vows, in the final analysis, your mother and son are not meritorious, but kind to me!" ”

The old mother wanted to say something more, but the empress waved her hand and said, "Sit down." ”

The furnishings of the Lingsheng Pavilion are still the same, and the four of us sit together, and we can't help but think of the first meeting here, no matter what my mother says, the empress is blindly adamant, and this conversation can only be stopped temporarily.

The empress ordered someone to set the wine and said to me: "Brother, I promised at the beginning, if you return to Lingsheng Pavilion, sister will invite you to eat a hundred flowers banquet again, and today is the time to fulfill my promise." ”

After a while, someone brought a banquet full of flowers, and I couldn't help but say: "This banquet of flowers is also eaten in the food, but unfortunately it is not full." ”

The empress Yanran instructed the palace maid: "You go to the imperial kitchen and cut the sauce elbow in two." The palace maid pursed her mouth and smiled: "Yes." ”

The empress took a glass and said: "I don't respect the two wines, because I am annoyed that you have deceived me for so long, and now I want to make up for it twice." ”

The old mother always seemed a little absent-minded because she had something on her mind, and the empress said: "Old sister, if you really want to have a leisurely life, you don't have to be in a hurry, I want to let you go now, what will the people say about me?" The general was smeared with liver and brain for his daughter's country, but as soon as the battle was over, he was sent home, saying that the good thing is that he is narrow-minded and can't tolerate people, and the bad thing is ...... Hehe, let's do it, I promise you three years, and if you really don't want to do it after three years, I promise you to resign. ”

My mother listened to her and was reasonable, so she had to agree.

The empress drank two glasses of wine with me and said, "Brother, Yunquan has already told me the truth about the Flying Dragon Army, how do you think we should place them in the future?" ”

I said in my heart that the empress is going to have a small banquet and do big things, first solved the problem of the talent crisis of the Feifeng Army, and now it is going to target the Feilong Army, but the situation of the Feilong Army is different from the Feifeng Army, the Feifeng Army was cultivated by the empress at the behest of the empress, and she also understands her mother's personality, Geng Ling is completely unfamiliar, and the Feilong Army recruits male soldiers, which is still blank in the history of the daughter country.

When the empress saw that I wanted to speak, she stopped, and said, "You don't have to worry, the so-called virtuous do not avoid relatives, you can say whatever you have." ”

I said, "Okay, then I'll be blunt, I don't think the Flying Dragon Army can be abolished, and it needs to be expanded so that they can maintain the same number as the Flying Phoenix Army." ”

Prince Yun said, "Why? ”

"I'll tell you the truth, it's better to be a man when it comes to fighting."

Prince Yun said: "What about rebellion? ”

I said, "As long as the emperor treats them equally, why should they rebel?" ”

Prince Yun said: "If men are used to being masters, can they still tolerate women being emperors?" ”

I said: "In fact, in our world, men are basically respected, but this does not prevent them from supporting the empress, and even every empress is in power in the era of prosperity, which shows that their politically enlightened people live and work in peace and contentment, in fact, the common people do not care whether you are a male emperor or a female emperor, as long as you can live a good life, they will support you, and I have heard of political opposition and belief opposition, but I have never heard of male and female antagonism, men will always need women, women will always need men, and opposition is fundamentally against the surname, There really will be a day when the men and women of the daughter country are incompatible, then they will perish without being beaten by others! ”

After hearing this, the empress was silent for a long time and said, "My brother is right, but we are narrow-minded. ”

Prince Yun said ambiguously: "His paragraph about men and women really entered my heart. ”

The empress said: "In this way, according to what my brother said, from now on, the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Phoenix Army will maintain the same structure and salary, and Geng Ling will be awarded the rank of general of Wuwei, but he must obey the dispatch of the imperial court." ”

I said, "It's nature. "Geng Ling is a person with high patriotic enthusiasm, we just started to get rid of oppression, Geng Ling's expansion of the Flying Dragon Army is to save his daughter country from falling, he didn't think of replacing the empress.

Prince Yun said: "But the cost of forming the Flying Dragon Army is very large. ”

I said: "Then reduce some ordinary female soldiers, and increase the reserve force for both men and women who are enthusiastic about joining the army but cannot formally enlist for the time being, so that there will be no need to increase military expenditures, and there will be a reliable source of successors." ”

The empress said: "Let's do it, Yunquan, you convey the general meaning to the military department, and let them come up with a specific and feasible method." ”

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, the empress suddenly changed the topic and said, "Brother, I heard that you are planning to propose marriage to Su Jing." ”

I laughed and said, "This has already spread?" ”

The empress smiled: "If you are not sure, my sister will also protect a matchmaker for you?" ”

I waved my hand and said, "I'd better do this by myself." ”
