Chapter 149: Seeking Advice (II)
After lunch, Wu Yue and Tong Wuxin went back to the martial arts arena. Only Duanmuqi and Zhu Xiaobao remained. The two talked very much, especially Duanmuqi, who was desperately learning what Zhu Xiaobao taught him as if he was playing with his life.
A lot of things made Duanmu Qi see a completely new field, the original ones he mastered were just so shallow, and now the knowledge that Zhu Xiaobao said is very practical. Of course, Duanmuqi also deduced that Zhu Xiaobao was definitely not an ordinary person, but he couldn't guess what the origin was.
Duanmuqi was also not polite, and asked for all of Zhu Xiaobao's triangular rulers, protractors and other tools, and even learned the measurement methods of the metric system, otherwise he would not be able to use these advanced tools of Zhu Xiaobao.
Of course, Zhu Xiaobao also needs to learn some very practical knowledge and experience from Duanmuqi. For example, his map of the Great Xia Kingdom, Duanmu Qi helped him revise a lot of places, because his information was provided by Zhao Shenbao, and only the map of Xiyuan City was relatively accurate, and the others were very different. Duanmuqi helped a lot at this point.
And what Zhu Xiaobao wants to know most is Duanmuqi's opinion on the development of the situation, Zhu Xiaobao was originally not interested in these things, but now it seems that it is really impossible not to understand, and he is already involved in it.
"Xiaobao, I don't want to ask more about your origin, but if you want to be able to stand alone with the Cave Heaven and Earth, that's wrong! Once the war starts, you won't be safe here, and now that everyone knows about this blessed land, it's probably not so easy to just think about defending it! Duanmuqi said very sincerely.
"yes, I'm getting more and more uneasy! A few days ago, someone was able to get close to me with light skills! The abilities of these masters are beyond my imagination! So I want to hear my brother's opinion, what will be the situation of the nineteenth princess in the event of a war? Where do I go from here? Please teach me! Zhu Xiaobao said a little worriedly.
"Hahahaha! Unexpectedly, the extremely smart Zhu Xiaobao also had a time when he was worried. Don't worry, I will do my best for you! Then tell me first, do you want to assist the nineteen princesses and conquer the world? Duanmuqi laughed, and then asked very seriously.
"Hehe, you also saw it, I just want to have a place of my own, so that my wife can live a peaceful life. As for the Nineteenth Princess, we are a cooperative relationship, and I can't fight, let alone conquer the world! Besides, the current Nineteen Princesses make me feel farther and farther away, not as simple as before! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head, and said with a smile, although the form has changed, it is not so sad that Zhu Xiaobao is still very confident in his ability.
"Huh! Understand, then you'd better have a territory of your own, a completely independent territory, and a large number of people. Well, just like the Lingyue people on Lingyue Island, they have lived independently for hundreds of years, although their lives are not very rich, but they are very stable and not affected by the outside world. But there are quite a few of them, almost hundreds of thousands! Duanmuqi nodded and said.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I only have about 400 people in total, can I be like the people of Lingyue Island? Zhu Xiaobao was immediately deflated, and Duanmu Qi snorted with a blank look.
"Hahahaha! So, you still have to try your best to help the nineteenth princess! Duanmuqi was immediately amused by Zhu Xiaobao's demeanor, sometimes this guy is really like a child, but sometimes he is very mature and sophisticated, and then Duanmuqi's expression became very solemn and continued: "In fact, when the war is fought together, there can only be one winner in the end. The defeated people, whether they are princes or princesses, have a very cruel ending! You don't want to see Princess Nineteen become someone else's plaything, do you? And Wu Yue will also go to suffer with the princess! ”
"Well, I know that I owe the princess, and I can't pay it off in my life! Well, and Wu Yue, if I don't help her, I'm afraid it really won't work! Zhu Xiaobao sighed, knowing that he couldn't avoid this war, so he asked again: "Brother, then in your opinion, who is the most likely to become the final winner?" Seven princesses? ”
"Hmmm! The Seventh Princess is more than enough to protect herself, but if she wants to destroy the others, I'm afraid she is still a little powerless, and she can only wait for the best time to ......" Duanmuqi said with some hesitation, he didn't dare to say this in front of the Seventh Princess, but objectively speaking, he didn't think that the Seventh Princess had this strength, but the Seventh Princess pacified the Thirty-six Islands in the southeast and left a way back for herself, but the Thirty-six Islands in the southeast have not been very peaceful recently.
Although it was a little chilling to hear, Zhu Xiaobao still learned a lot from Duanmuqi, some of which even the nineteenth princess and Chief Wu didn't know.
Now it seems that among the princes, the most powerful is Xia Zeyuan, the king of Yong'an, who has many soldiers and horses, and is also the only one among several princes who fights to support the war, and his troops have been fighting with the Western Turks all year round, and they have not stopped for more than ten years. Therefore, his subordinates are very brave and have rich combat experience, which is incomparable to several other princes.
The other princes are not simple, and there are several super families, all of whom have a deep background, and no one knows what hole cards they have in their hands. Duanmuqi talked for an afternoon, and finally Duanmuqi got impatient and clamored to learn those four operations......
It wasn't until after dinner that Duanmuqi was accompanied by Tong Wuxin and left quietly, and when he left, Zhu Xiaobao also gave a lot of things, Duanmuqi was not polite, and they all smiled......
……
In the study of the nineteenth princess, Wu Yue was standing in front of the desk, a little embarrassed. Because the nineteenth princess was concentrating on reviewing the reports of those subordinate officials. In fact, these were originally Xia Zixiu's affairs, but now they are all managed and approved by the nineteenth princess.
Wu Yue's heart was uneasy, and she felt that the nineteenth princess seemed to be deliberately hanging herself here. In fact, the intention of the nineteen princesses is like this, but Wu Yue has a ghost in her heart. She has been struggling not to report Duanmuqi's matter to the nineteenth princess.
"Wu Yue! You've been standing for a long time, what's the matter? Just say it! It's not like you're used to it! The nineteenth princess finally stopped her pen, raised her head and asked with a smile.
"I didn't ...... Nothing! It is...... Princess! I think it's better to postpone your marriage with Xia Zixiu for a while! "Wu Yue came here to talk to the Nineteenth Princess about this. But it's a bit hard to talk about right now.
"Oh? Why? You were the most supportive of me in the first place, huh? Could it be that Zixiu has some inappropriate behavior outside? Princess Nineteen said with some surprise. But there was no displeasure on his face.
"Not really, but ...... Once you and Xia Zixiu get married, it will arouse the vigilance of other people, and the Seventh Princess will also be suspicious......" Since Wu Yue said it, she simply counted all the words that Duanmu Qi said. Not to mention, Wu Yue's memory is still good, and it's not bad at all.
"Hmmm! It seems to make sense, Yue'er, this is not what you came up with, right? I can't imagine that there is such a master around me? Tell me, who is he? The nineteenth princess leaned back in her chair and looked at Wu Yue's uncomfortable expression, feeling a little funny.
"This ...... This...... I can't say it, anyway, I told you for the sake of the princess! "Wu Yue is really uncomfortable, and she promised Duanmu Qi, so of course she can't say it even if she dies. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very creditless?
"Hehehehehe! Okay, Yue'er, I'm really sorry for you! Isn't that what Duanmuqi said! He went to the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, you and I really don't know! The nineteenth princess looked really anxious, and couldn't help but smile and said, in fact, Wu Yue's performance still moved the nineteenth princess, Wu Yue has always been very loyal to her, as well as the manager Wu.
"Huh? You...... Got it? I didn't mean to hide it. But Xiaobao said that this was just a private party and did not involve political affairs, so I ...... "Wu Yue was a little surprised, I didn't expect that the nineteenth princess would have known about it a long time ago. But Wu Yue also had some doubts in her heart, could it be that the nineteenth princess was also supervising herself at all times? Otherwise, how would he know that Duanmu Qi went to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
"Duanmuqi is such an important person, how can I not keep an eye on him all the time! So don't be careful! Now it seems that Duanmuqi is quite good, and what he said is very pertinent! The nineteenth princess was also afraid that Wu Yue would misunderstand, so she immediately explained.
"Oh!" Wu Yue was immediately much more relieved, and it was also relaxed, after all, there was no need to hide it from the princess, but Wu Yue immediately asked, "What does the princess mean?" You can't just say it's divided! Why don't you drag it first? ”
"Hmmm! Then listen to you, drag ...... first" The nineteenth princess learned from Wu Yue's appearance, nodded very seriously and said.
In fact, the nineteenth princess also felt that she was a little too anxious, and her worries were exactly the same as what Duanmuqi said, so she decided that Duanmuqi was very pertinent. And this time, the Seventh Princess increased her troops by 5,000 in Xiyuan City, which already shows that she is not so at ease with herself!
So the safest way now is to drag it for the time being, anyway, Xia Zixiu is acting very strangely now, and he is not in a hurry at all. And since he was put back by Ma Songju, Xia Zixiu has become very strange, always avoiding the nineteenth princess.
But now the nineteenth princess has no time to entangle with him, and from the bottom of her heart, the nineteenth princess is also very disappointed in Xia Zixiu, but she has to rely on his soldiers and horses, so it is undoubtedly the most worry-free to drag it like this for the time being!
Although the situation is complicated, the products of the Nineteenth Princess are still very popular, and the output has doubled this month, because Zhu Xiaobao has begun to exert force, and now those people are also very skilled, and many equipment has been remodeled and updated, and the production efficiency has been greatly improved.
In order to stabilize the Seventh Princess, this month's shipment volume has also increased a lot, and I believe that the Seventh Princess will be satisfied......
