Jia Mu feels bored does not mean that Xue Baochai also feels bored, at least Xue Baochai is very concerned about Jia Jiu's promotion of the county king. When Jia Jiu returned to his house and arranged everything properly, Xue Baochai also came.

As soon as Jia Jiu saw Xue Baochai, he smiled and said, "I said that Sister Bao will change for a while, and sure enough, I was right." ”

Xue Baochai smiled: "It's not mine, it disturbed my sister's rest." ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "It's okay if Sister Bao is here." I was frightened by Concubine Ji Shu this time, and I also lost that I dealt with it quite well at the time, so I didn't offend the queen mother and the concubine mother. It's just that this lady lady, I'm afraid I'm really offended. When I think about the future, my heart is still up and down. ”

Xue Baochai said: "Look at what the second sister said." Since it was this lady who calculated her sister and her sister didn't fall into his trap, where can she blame her sister? The second sister will be drafted in the future, and she will not be in charge of Concubine Shu this season, or she will enter the palace in the future, as long as it is not in his palace, it is not her own life? Why is the second sister so worried? I want to say hello to my second sister. The second sister is the county monarch of the sixth grade at a young age, and there are so many powerful families in Beijing, and the younger sister is the only one. According to this momentum, I am afraid that as soon as I enter the palace, I will be a mother. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Sister Bao, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" I only hope that the words of that day will not be passed on wrongly, and it will be good to annoy the queen and the concubine. I don't ask for anything else. It's Sister Bao, how do you plan to spend this year's birthday? You also say a charter, and my sister should prepare for her birthday. ”

Xue Baochai smiled: "Where can I prepare a birthday gift for my sister?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Huh." This is Sister Bao, you said it yourself, otherwise, it's Sister Bao's birthday. I took someone to Sister Bao's place to eat and drink, and when it was over, I patted my clothes and left, Sister Bao didn't want to laugh at me for not knowing the etiquette. ”

Xue Baochai smiled: "Even if my sister comes, can I still shorten my sister's food?" ”

After speaking, both of them paused, and they both covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughed. The two of them are originally somewhat similar in temperament, and they are social animals. The Jia family is so big, Jia Jiu doesn't interact with Xue Baochai, does he still have a relationship with the girls below? So when it doesn't matter what it doesn't matter. He and Xue Baochai can still get along peacefully. Of course, that's just when it's not significant.

After laughing, I heard Xue Baochai say: "Second sister, I don't know if the second sister has heard about it." Something big has happened to the Daomen. ”

Jia Jiuqi said: "Daomen? What's wrong? Why didn't anyone talk to me? ”

Xue Baochai said: "This is also what my brother told me. It is said that when Daomen was cleaning up the Jinshui River, he found several sets of bones lying on the riverbed, and later according to several things found by the Yamen at the bottom of the riverbed, it was finally determined that the deceased had something to do with Concubine Ji Shufei's family. ”

When Jia Jiu heard this, he said, "I'm still wondering." With my sister's temperament, I shouldn't speak lightly, but today I am very talkative at the old lady's. The center of the topic is still the lady concubine who is the head of the first house. ”

Xue Baochai said: "Still talking." In fact, at the beginning, my brother accidentally heard about it at a banquet. Daomen fished a lot of gold and silver goods from this Jinshui River this time. I was still wondering at the time, those are the famous stinky ditches in Beijing. Later, I learned that this matter was related to a homicide case. ”

Jia Jiu frowned, and hesitated: "Sister Bao, what you said is bad. Where is the Daomen lacking that idea? Don't say anything else, just say that the incense money, where will there be less? Moreover, many of the people in the Taoist sect are masters of the apricot forest, and most of them are holding a lot of money to seek medical advice. It's not easy for Daomen to ask for money? Where is the need to operate this kind of human life trade?! ”

Knowing the cause and effect of the incident, Jia Jiu still had to act as if he didn't know anything, and even made a confused appearance and confused the two.

Xue Baochai said: "What if this matter is related to the palace? I heard that after one of the bones was identified, it was determined that it was the younger brother of Empress Yuan. At the beginning, the disappearance of this uncle for no reason caused quite a stir in Beijing, and even the death of Empress Yuan was indispensable to this matter. Now that the body of this uncle has been found, I am afraid that it will not be good in this palace. As he spoke, he pointed to the hairpin on Jia Jiu's dresser.

Jia Jiu was stunned for a moment and made a lip shape: Queen Mother?

Xue Baochai nodded.

Jia Jiu frowned and said, "I remember that it has been almost ten years since Empress Yuan died, right?" People go to tea and cool, long live and now it is difficult to say how much love there is for Queen Yuan. Besides, the queen mother also gave birth to two princes for Long live? These are the only two princes in Banzai. If there really is something to do, would Banzai ignore the two princes? It's Concubine Ji Shu, I heard that when Empress Yuan was alive, he was Queen Yuan's person, and even the last person he saw before Uncle Guo's accident was his mother's family. Second sister, you say ......"

Jia Jiu said: "Sister Bao, my sister is very grateful to Sister Bao for her thoughtful heart. It's just that this matter is very important, so let's not talk about it anymore. ”

Xue Baochai also remembered. He seemed to be in a bit too anxious.

Indeed, the body of Empress Yuan's brother was found, but the final result is likely to be in the name of drunkenness. It's been ten years, and it's too difficult to find evidence. Moreover, Empress Yuan has passed away, and it is unknown whether the emperor is willing to make a big deal.

This matter may set off huge waves in the harem, or it may not make a splash at all.

If it is said that why Xue Baochai is so excited, it is actually inseparable from Wang Ziteng and the Wang family. Wang Ziteng has been appointed as the inspection point of the nine provinces, and it stands to reason that he should have left Beijing for business as soon as possible, but the emperor's suspicion of him has not disappeared, and he has not been able to make the trip for a long time. In such a situation, Wang Ziteng can almost be said to have been dropped there. It's not that the person concerned can't feel that at all.

It is precisely because of this embarrassing situation that Wang Ziteng is like a frightened bird, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Aunt Xue took a pair of children back to her parents' house, and the news she inadvertently mentioned became Wang Ziteng's lifesaver.

Wang Ziteng went back to the study on the spot. After pondering for two or three days, he called Xue Pan over again. And Xue Pan also knew very well that he was not as smart as his sister, so he retold Wang Ziteng's various speculations and hopes to Xue Baochai one by one.

Take Wang Ziteng as an example. Of course, he hopes that this case can be properly investigated, and it is best to involve those old concubines, along with the queen. In that way, he would be able to find an opportunity to send Jia Yuanchun to the emperor. As long as Jia Yuanchun's stomach is angry, then his prince will have a chance to turn over.

It's just that Wang Ziteng didn't expect that Xue Baochai didn't want Jia Yuanchun to be favored at all. In Xue Baochai's opinion, if Jia Yuanchun is favored. Then whether it is the resources of the Wang family or the resources of the Xue family, it is possible that they will be tilted towards Jia Yuanchun. After two years, when he is old enough to participate in the small election, he is afraid that he will not be able to get less help. It is better to let Jia Yuanchun stay on the edge of the cold palace for the time being and continue to be his maid, and when he Xue Baochai enters the palace, it will not be too late to come out.

Xue Baochai didn't believe Jia Yuanchun. It's just like he thinks that Jia Yuanchun is not as smart as him. He felt that Jia Yuanchun was not smart enough. Jia Yuanchun also hated him for being flamboyant. Neither of them looks down on each other, although many times, cousins and cousins in the harem are natural allies, but this law is not suitable for Jia Yuanchun and Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai would rather join forces with Jia Jiu, who can participate in the election, than form an alliance with Jia Yuanchun, a cousin.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xue Baochai came to inform Jia Jiu in the first place.

Xue Baochai saw that Jia Jiu looked like he didn't know anything, and immediately smiled and said, "I remember that the second sister once said it that day. I want to help those mud legs. Who would have thought that Daomen would actually do it first. Speaking of which, this kind of thing has never been done by the Daomen. Why, is it difficult or your second sister is your credit? ”

Jia Jiu pointed to his nose and said, "Sister Bao, do you believe this?" If I had such great ability, would I have to sit here and worry about whether I would offend Concubine Ji Shu? ”

Xue Baochai smiled: "Who knows." Maybe our second sister has this ability? ”

As soon as Xue Baochai said this, Jia Jiu's heart was sudden. He suddenly doubted Concubine Ji's perception of herself. What Concubine Ji said to herself, was it to sow discord or to test herself? If it is to sow discord, in terms of his age, he is too young and not in the interests of Concubine Ji Shu. But if it is a temptation for himself, could it be that there is someone in Daomen this Ji Shufei, or how did he learn about his importance to Daomen? How much does he know about his own affairs?

Jia Jiu decisively forgot about it, and when he was poisoned, Dao Kui made an exception and went down the mountain, and even guarded his own retreat. This treatment alone is also unique in the Daomen.

Dao Kui is the leader of the Dao Gate, doesn't his attitude indicate the problem?

After getting the news from Xue Baochai, Jia Jiu couldn't help but be concerned, and the next day when the Daomen sent Mu Qingshuang and Zhiliu Yanwei to look for him, he asked.

When Zhiliu heard this, he smiled: "At present, I have only confirmed the identity of two of the bones." Speaking of which, the Jinshui River is pitch black, who would have thought that there were countless unjust souls lying in the river? This uncle is also fateful. Although there is only a pair of white bones left, there are no missing arms or legs, and there are still belongings that can confirm the identity. You know, there are still a lot of bones and slag in the river, but you can't find even a whole piece. Now, these bones have been handed over to Jingzhao Mansion for disposal, and we don't know how Jingzhao Mansion will decide the case. ”

Jia Jiu said: "I see. ”

Zhiliu smiled: "We are here today, but not for this. In addition to the routine things, Dao Kui also asked us two things for Uncle Shi, one is the red lotus, and the other is the green snake and white snake that appeared in the house. ”

Jia Jiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked the girl on the side to step back, and opened the window again, and then said, "Don't Dao Kui believe in Hongzhi?" ”

Zhiliu said: "Definitely." It was precisely because of belief that Dao Kui asked us to ask for some red sprouts. ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly said: "The red lotus is in the flower hall behind my courtyard. I showed it to Banzai before, but I'm afraid that Banzai will come and ask me for it, so you can take half of this red seedling. As for those two spirit beasts, I don't know what to say. I saw them warm up in the flower hall before, but when I came back from the palace this time, the two snakes were missing from the flower hall, and I don't know where they went. ”

Mu Qingshuang said: "I see, then let's move some red seedlings back today." "Today, they brought a lot of people with them. I'm ready to move things. As for the green snake and white snake, he just wanted to determine whether it was a threat to Jia Jiu first. If the two snakes are gone, then he doesn't force it.

Mu Qingshuang also knew. With Jia Jiu's martial arts, there is no need to be afraid of ordinary snakes at all. Of course, if it's Warcraft, that's two things.

Jia Jiu also stood up and said, "Speaking of which, I also have something to ask Zhiliu." ”

Zhiliu said: "What is the matter?" ”

Jia Jiu took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "This is something I figured out and my father might use." Please deliver this letter to my father by your own hand. In addition, I sent a batch of bamboo poles for my father. ”

Zhiliu was stunned for a moment and said, "Bamboo pole? ”

"Yes."

"Uncle Shi. Can the disciples know why? ”

Jia Jiu said: "This is what I thought of after being reminded by Princess Changle. I also ignored it, since the imperial court has been in arrears for so many years, where will the ordnance be available? It was only last year that Zhang Guerrilla obtained a sum of money for military salaries and some ordnance, but he had to arm every soldier. This gap is still not small. Now the biggest worry is. Most of the ordnance in the hands of our soldiers in Daqi is rotten, and even many of them have to go to the battlefield with their bare hands, but there are still people in the court who are bent on making peace and sending all kinds of goods and even ordnance to the Di people! ”

Mu Qingshuang looked at the letter and said, "Then ...... in this letter?"

Jia Jiu replied: "In addition to the usual greetings, I also figured out a few methods. One is the bow and arrow troops against the Di people, and the other is the fast horses against the Di people. Bamboo rafts can be used to resist bows and arrows, and at the same time, bamboo can also be used to trap horses. Since the imperial court is unwilling to replenish the ordnance for the soldiers, then. There is only one way to feed the war with war. ”

Commonly known as a trap, "...... Five feet long. One foot wide, three feet deep, buried in the pit with antler guns and bamboo sticks. Its pit is connected like a sub-character, like a hook, covered with grass and fine dust, and the military city barracks are all set up. (From Tang Li Jing's "Li Weigong's Art of War. Offensive and defensive battle equipment"), but Jia Jiu was very skeptical that the soldiers of Daqi could have so many materials and time to dig the pit, not to mention the one-foot-wide horse trap, and the war horse jumped over with a light jump. The kind of trap recorded in Li Jing's military book was actually of little use to the light cavalry.

The trap pit designed by Jia Jiu was actually specifically aimed at light cavalry, using the speed of light cavalry to greatly reduce the threat of light cavalry.

People on the grassland can gallop the world by relying on the speed of horses. If the galloping horse is stuck in the hooves of the rat hole in the ground, then the horse's legs cannot be saved, and even the knight on the horse will fly out. If you are unlucky, there is a stone on the ground, and it is not uncommon for you to break your neck and bones, and if there is a sharp bone on the ground, there is even a possibility that your body will be torn apart by the bone.

The leather armor of the steppe light cavalry may not be able to protect against the ribs of animals, and naturally it cannot protect against sharpened bamboo.

In addition to the bamboo raft to block the sword rain, Jia Jiu also provided another trap in the letter. Cut the bamboo pole to a length of one foot five, one end is pointed, the other end is flat, the pointed one is down, the flat one is upward, and it is pierced into the soil to become an artificial mouse hole.

There are a lot of rat holes on the grassland, if one or two knights are pitted by rat holes, the Di people basically will not suspect it, and when the light cavalry is advancing rapidly, it is already remarkable to be able to see the people on the left and right, where will they notice the people behind? If the people on the left and right were pitted by rat holes, those Di people would not care at all, and would just continue to rush forward. Jia Jiu also took advantage of this blind spot and designed various mechanisms.

Because there are many rat holes on the grassland, the Di people are also accustomed to it, and they also have ways to deal with it to reduce the chance of being injured...... So Jia Jiu prepared another thing, which is the organ that really wants the life of the people, that is, to learn the bamboo to be three feet long, and both ends are pointed. One end is plunged into the dirt downwards, and the other end is slightly shorter than the grass.

The galloping Di people didn't even notice that there was such a mechanism under the grass, thinking that it would be good to get up after being pitted by rats, but they didn't know that with the speed bonus of the light cavalry, these sharpened bamboo poles were enough to tear open their chests and kill them.

Of course, the most critical mechanism in the latter part still has to wait for the season when the grass grows and the eagle flies to achieve the best effect.

Jia Jiu also thought about it, when spring first came, the Di people's horses had not yet eased up, and with the importance of the Di people to horses, they just wanted to go south at this time, and the scale would not be very large. And the spring of Daqi came up earlier than the grassland, maybe the grass in the border pass of Daqi has grown tall, and the grass on the grassland spit out such a section.

Therefore, it is not too late to transport bamboo poles now.

Mu Qingshuang looked at Jia Jiu and said, "Tongyunliu, can I take a look at this?" ”

"Senior, please."

Mu Qingshuang took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim, which made Liu and Yan Wei curious.

Mu Qingshuang didn't know about Liu and Yan Xun's curiosity about the letter, so she said to Jia Jiu sternly: "Tong Yunliu, do you know that if the method on this letter is spread, I am afraid that the superiority between Daqi and Di people will be rewritten from now on." ”

Jia Jiu replied, "I know. But for the sake of my father, I also had to be a villain. I knew that my father and brother had fallen for someone else's calculations this time. But I still underestimate myself. If I had thought of this method before, I wouldn't have delayed it until today. That's right, I did exchange my father's safety with Banzai and Banzai, and even Banzai sent someone to protect my father. But the calculations of those people have long been prepared, and perhaps the arrangement of Banzai has not only fulfilled my wishes, but also theirs. I'm afraid that they have already spread the news that my father is going to guard the granary, and this time Banzai sent someone to confirm this rumor at all. I'm afraid that the Di people who got the news are ready to do a big job. Now I just hope that because the grassland is still a world of ice and snow, it is too late to start. ”

Mu Qingshuang hesitated for a moment and said, "In this case, Poor Dao still has to make a decision after discussing with Dao Kui." ”

Over there, Zhiliu and Yan Wei also finished reading it, but they couldn't help but glance at Jia Jiu more. They didn't say anything, Yan Wei followed Mu Qingshuang back, but Zhiliu stayed and watched the people below move the red seedlings.

On Yuqing Mountain, Dao Kui took the letter written by Jia Jiu to Jia Yu, looked at it again and again, and said, "Is this really what Tongyunliu handed over to you?" ”

Mu Qingshuang said: "Yes, Dao Kui." ”

Dao Kui said: "I think this kid is self-cultivation, how can it be better." Now it seems that Jia Enhou has not been able to get out of danger for a day, and it is impossible for this child to restrain his murderous intentions for a day. ”

Mu Qingshuang said: "Dao Kui means ......"

Dao Kui didn't speak, but Yan Pian spoke: "What Dao Kui means is that this kid wants to protect his father, so there is no way to eliminate the murderous aura on this body?" ”

Dao Kui said: "I'm afraid so." ”

The state of mind of a cultivator is the most important, if the murderous nature has always been so heavy, it is a trivial matter that the future achievements are limited, and they are afraid of going mad and hurting the innocent.

After being silent for a while, Dao Kui said, "In this way, send this letter and the bamboo pole to Jia Enhou's hands in the shortest possible time." ”

This is an exception for Jia Jiu's matter. Of course, the delivery of letters and bamboo poles will not be carried out in the name of Daomen, but just borrowing the hands of caravans under the name of Daomen, using Daomen's many years of operation, to deliver letters and bamboo poles to Jia Yu's hands.

Speaking of which, this really helped Jia Yu a lot.

Jia Yu turned out to be just a drunken old man in the Beijing Division, and he didn't know much about the border passes, and when An Yuanwei arrived here, he realized that there was no military food and ordnance here, and even the main generals were hungry and full. The dry food brought by Jia Yu was divided within a few days, and he was hungry with him.

If it weren't for Jia Jiu entering the eyes of the Daomen, the Daomen deliberately took care of it, and sent a caravan to send food, medicinal materials and honeycomb coal, Jia Yu and Jia Lian might not even survive this winter.

Military rations are easy to solve, but this ordnance is difficult to handle. It is impossible for the caravan to carry weapons that can meet the needs of a guard, which also makes Jia Yu worry every day like an ant on a hot pot.

Therefore, Jia Jiu's letter is not only a life-saving straw and reassuring pill for Jia Yu, but also a life-saving straw for An Yuanwei.

Why should the Yin family use their own flesh and blood to block other people's knives? Do fools know that it hurts? (To be continued......)
