Several of Montenegro's subordinates looked at Montenegro and drove them away when Montenegro gave an order. Montenegro smiled and said to everyone: "Scholars are grinding and chirping!" The heart is bigger than the mountain, and the timid is like a mouse! Such a person, even if he goes up to confess, the four fairies can't look down on him! ”

When the four of them heard this, they were very angry. Seeing a few Montenegro, all of them were strong and strong, and they didn't dare to make a mistake. One of them said mockingly: "Look at a few of you, the clothes are quite new, but it's a pity that they are cloth, the workers of the Chengbei Workshop, right?" Also came here, do you want toads to eat swan meat? There are also a lot of women from the workshop, so try your luck over there! These four won't take a fancy to you anyway! ”

"That's it, I've seen it, let's go! Don't waste your time here! Another said.

"Don't be cowardly, just bury others casually, let's go up and confess! I've succeeded, I'm envious of you! Montenegro said.

"A few of you go up and confess, if you can succeed, I will give you fifty gold each! If there is a kind, you will go up! Another said.

"You go up first and get scolded, and then we go up to show that we are excellent! As long as you dare to go up, whether you succeed or not, I will give you three golds, how about it? The other said.

"Three golds are a lot! You can buy several new outfits for you! What do you think? One next to him said mockingly.

"Is that true?" Montenegro asked.

The other man immediately took out a handful of golden coins, took out three, and said, "Whichever of you goes up first, I will pay three gold first!" ”

Seeing someone betting, many people gathered around to watch the excitement. Montenegro didn't take the money, and said to Meng Hao: "Brother Meng, you go first, I see that the girl in green is quite a match with you, you go up first to confess!" ”

"Brother, get on! If you don't give me a gold, I'll do it for you! "Someone next to him was heckling again.

Meng Hao had long been interested in Xia, and the two of them had long been interested, but they didn't confess. When Meng Hao heard Montenegro's order, he immediately responded: "You guys prepare fifty gold, don't rely on the debt!" Look at me! After speaking, he strode forward, came to Xia's face, faced Xia, and said loudly: "Marry me, are you willing?" ”

All the people around immediately quieted down and stared at Xia tightly. Xia Shuang's face flushed, and he shyly handed the basket to Meng Hao! The people around immediately cheered. Because if the girl does not agree, she will beat the suitor away with a wooden hook, and if she agrees, she will hand the basket to the man.

Everyone was cheering, only the four sons were dejected!

Montenegro said to the meatloaf again: "Meatloaf, it's your turn!" Hurry up! ”

The face of the meatloaf suddenly turned red to his neck, and he looked at the black mountain and did not move.

Montenegro stretched out his fingers, pointed at the meatloaf, and then pointed at the princess's side, Dong. This gesture is a military order to attack, on the battlefield, in front of the sword mountain and sea of fire, you have to rush forward to kill, and if you hesitate, it is military law to do it.

Seeing that Black Mountain had given a military order, Meatloaf had no choice but to squirm forward and slowly come to the front of Dong. The face has turned red into the color of pork liver, and I can't say a word! All the people around watched the two of them in silence. Dong is usually a spicy and outgoing girl, but after waiting for a long time, she saw that the meatloaf turtle couldn't come out of a fart, so she simply stuffed the basket into the meatloaf and walked away shyly. Cheers and blessings immediately rang out all around!

The four sons, although they feel sorry for a hundred gold, they are even more distressed that there are two beautiful girls missing all of a sudden. I don't know what to do if I stay there for a while.

"There are two left, which two should I challenge?" Montenegro deliberately said loudly.

"I'll go first!"

"I'll go first!"

The four princes no longer hesitated, and rushed forward, and the four of them came to the princess and Qiu at the same time. They all confessed sourly: "Girl, I am twenty years old, I am quite wealthy, proficient in the six arts, would I like to carry it together?" ”

Without waiting for a few of them to finish speaking, Summer, Autumn, and Winter had already raised small wooden hooks to beat them desperately, and the four of them fled back in embarrassment amid the laughter of the people around them, and two of them also fell, and they were very embarrassed to roll and crawl.

Montenegro also laughed happily and said to them: "You are so stupid, confessing to the village girl, they don't understand it!" Believe it or not, I can take them both down at once? ”

"If you can take both of them at the same time, we will lose you an extra hundred gold, and what if you also confess and fail?" One of the sons said.

"If the confession fails, everyone will write off the previous bet and owe each other." Montenegro said.

"Good! It's up to you! The four sons agreed. Although their family is rich, the 100 gold they just lost is not a small amount. In their opinion, Montenegro is just a rough man, and it is simply impossible to successfully confess two at the same time.

"Remember my words and confess to the girls, be brave, decisive and direct! Look at what I teach you today! After Montenegro finished speaking, he walked a few steps to the princess and Qiu's side.

Everyone was about to leave, and saw that someone had confessed again! Gathered again.

Montenegro came to the princess and Qiu, got down on one knee and stretched out his arms. This action was very tempting to the princess, and every time she would rush over and throw herself into the arms of Montenegro. This time, the princess did not hesitate to throw herself into the arms of Montenegro. Montenegro beckoned to Qiu again, Qiu hesitated, and then walked over, Montenegro stretched out his left hand, and also took her into his arms, and said softly: "Today, we have a demonstration, and more people will boldly confess to their lovers!" ”

Countless people cheered next to him! cast the admiring eyes of countless people.

Montenegro said to everyone: "Everyone must confess boldly to have a chance!" Look around again, the good girls have been robbed! ”

After everyone heard this, they dispersed one after another, shouting in their mouths to be bold to confess.

The four sons also walked over, one of them holding a money bag in his hand, and said to Montenegro: "Brother has been taught today, we only have less than forty gold on us, we are willing to lose the bet, please go back with us to get it?" ”

"Don't take it seriously, just joke! There are a lot of ladies over there, you guys are coming, you're all robbed when you're late! After Montenegro finished speaking, he led everyone to another place.

When they returned, the four women were very happy! The princess immediately had to arrange the marriage for Summer and Winter herself.

The four women were discussing the marriage, and Montenegro was holding his daughter and going to the garden to relax. But he accidentally bumped into a chief waiter who secretly handed a gift to a palace maid. The palace maid didn't dare to take it, and said softly: "It can't be like this, it will break the rules of the house, and you will accidentally lose your head!" He said, "It's okay, I can wait until you are twenty-six years old, and then marry you when you are out of slavery!" ”

As soon as the palace maid received the gift from the guard, the two of them saw Montenegro suddenly appear in front of them, and they were so frightened that they fell to the ground! Montenegro laughed and said, "Get up, don't scare my daughter!" Today is the Mulberry Picking Festival, there is nothing wrong with confessing to the woman you like! You go and tell all the guards who are still single, as long as they don't change their titles or above, and which palace maid they like, they can go and confess, and if they both agree, tell Qiu, the princess and I will not only marry you, but also arrange a wedding room for you! Go and tell them that today is the Mulberry Picking Festival, the best time to confess! ”

The two of them were stunned at first, then turned their worries into joy, and thanked each other repeatedly! Many guards and palace maids in the mansion frowned, and Qiu had already told Montenegro and the princess. In the autumn, I saw many palace maids in the palace who couldn't bear the loneliness and played with the eunuchs. I originally wanted to persuade Montenegro to turn a blind eye, but I didn't expect Montenegro to say that he would make his own decisions about the affairs of his own house. It is better to fulfill them! So the decision was finally made to allow them to get married. It's just too busy to keep it announced.

Taojun University and Taocheng Theater have also been built one after another, and Meng Fuzi has also recommended twenty students from the Imperial University who are excellent in character and learning to be teachers. Montenegro also handed over the Grand Theater to the musicians and dancers in the palace to operate and manage. This theater, which can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators, will become another propaganda front for the Qin Empire.

In this era, farming and war are the top priorities of the country, and farming is still before the war! Spring is busy, and the county soldiers and people from all over the country come back to farm on vacation. Montenegro ordered Zhao Tuo's cavalry to keep a close watch on the state of Chu, and Xin Sheng's cavalry to keep an eye on the state of Qi. Most of the officials were sent to the villages and villages to supervise farming.

The State Governor's Mansion also sent an official letter, asking Montenegro to move south to capture Xuecheng after the spring rush, and then coerce Pengcheng, with the purpose of containing the Chu army, and responding to Li Xin and Meng Tian's army from Nanyang East to destroy Chu.

All the cumbersome government affairs are arranged in an orderly manner by Xiao He and Song Lei's two capable subordinates. Military affairs are irreplaceable, and Montenegro summons generals to convene a military meeting.

The conference room was modeled after later generations in Montenegro, with a large oblong table surrounded by chairs. In front of each position is a cup of tea, a notebook, quills, ink, etc., and the people will sit on both sides of the Black Mountain according to the size of their duties.

Montenegro cleared his throat and said, "The Governor's Mansion asks us to stick to Tao County at the same time, divide our troops to the south after the spring rush, first capture Xue City, and then threaten Peng Cheng of Chu State!" Meng Sima, you are the head of the scout, you can introduce the current situation in Qi Chu. ”

Meng Hao introduced: "The main army of Qi is 150,000 people living in Jibei City, mainly defending Wang Ben's army of Julu. The east of Tao County is the Langya Pass of Qi State, there were only 5,000 Qi troops guarding the pass before, after we occupied Tao County, Langya Pass also increased 20,000 Qi troops, and defended according to the danger. At present, the entry and exit of the merchant travelers in and out of Langya Pass are still smooth, and the Qi army is still mainly defensive, and there is no sign of attack. There is still no large-scale conscription in Qi State, and it is unlikely that a large army will be gathered to attack Tao County in the short term. In the southern state of Chu, the king of Chu had officially appointed Xiang Yan as the general of the state of Chu a year ago, and mobilized 300,000 troops from various feudal monarchs to train day and night. Xiang Yan's main force is mainly distributed in Yingchen and Hengshan. At present, in Xuecheng in the south of Tao County, the Chu State did not defend heavily with troops, but focused its defense on Pengcheng. In the past year, the Xiang family recruited troops and horses in Pengcheng, strengthened the city, stockpiled a large amount of grain and grass, and the inventory was very strict, and almost everyone was a soldier. At least 60,000 Xiang's army defended, another 20,000 sailors were on the river, and Chudu Shouchun had 150,000 troops, ready to meet Pengcheng. It will not be easy for our army to storm Pengcheng. ”

"The land of Xue Cheng is all plains, there is no danger to defend, and the State of Chu will use Xue Di as a buffer place for Qin and Chu, focusing on defending Pengcheng! Xiang Yan is not simple! Black Mountain said, "Our strategic purpose is to form a high-pressure posture against Pengcheng after taking Xuecheng, so that the Chu State of Shouchun cannot reinforce Yingchen!" ”

"Tao County now has a total of 80,000 elite foot cavalry, 60,000 new troops, only 80,000 can drive to the battlefield, 60,000 new troops are stationed in Taocheng, if the Qi army sends troops to aid Chu, Tao County will be in great danger!" Adjutant General Kokatsu said.

"The scouts were ordered to closely monitor the Qi State, and 10,000 new troops were stationed in Langya Mountain, claiming to be 30,000 to the outside world. 50,000 new troops remain in Tao County! After 80,000 elite infantry cavalry Chun was busy, he quickly took Xue Cheng, and then drove to the ten miles north of Pengcheng to garrison in situ, to falsely claim 200,000, so that the Chu army of Pengcheng and Shouchun did not dare to move. The Chu army definitely did not dare to fight in the field, so it could only rely on the strong city to hold on! After the spring is busy, we have to recruit another 30,000 to 50,000 new troops to ensure that Taocheng is foolproof. Montenegro said.

"Please give the general an order!" The generals have expressed their positions!

Montenegro thought about it, Xin Sheng was the oldest, but he was only suitable for commanding the battlefield to attack and fight. Although Zhao Tuo is young, he is good at battlefield planning! Be flexible with your troops. In the end, he made up his mind and said: "Zhao Tuo is the main general, Xin Sheng is the deputy general, and after the spring is busy, he will lead 80,000 elites to the south!" Mi Long led 10,000 new troops to garrison the west of Langya Mountain in Tao County. Meng Hao is in charge of all kinds of intelligence. Dong Jian's general division of grain and grass. Ahego is in charge of recruiting and training new troops. Ben Shouza Town Tao Castle! ”
